[General Questions and Answers] Fallonmag:
Hi there, I need help determining if I was screwed by the carrier. Here's the story (keep in mind I'm in a third-world country where law is more of a concept than a reality):

A few days ago my carrier started calling me incessantly and leaving messages. Being a disabled person, I was not able to answer the calls or listen to the messages. A few days passed and suddenly, the phone service has stopped. This is a dual-sim card phone (OnePlusX) and the second sim card/phone service still functions. The phone also detects the sim card and able to read info from it (such as the phone number associated with the non-functional sim card). The web site still lists my service as active but towers refuse to provide network. When I contacted the phone company, they insist the problem is with the sim card, that it suddenly has stopped working - or the phone did. In either case, they demand that me, blind, immobile disabled person show up at their office to get a sim card replacement.

I feel that the company has illegally disabled the sim card access to their network - that's exactly what the phone say, when I enable the sim-card, that the network is inaccessible. I did try the sim card with another phone with the same results (no tower access and yet the second phone can see the phone number on the sim card) although there's a caveat - law in my country requires registering phone IMEI with the sim card, i.e. that sim card can't be used in any other phone (or even the different slot in the same phone, tried that too, btw).

Anyways, I strongly suspect that the company representatives that tried to contact me shortly before the service was cut were trying to sell me something and when I was not able to answer, they took it as a personal affront and retaliated by disabling my service by refusing access to the network to make me walk back to the office. Either that, or they decided that I'm dead since I'm registered as a disabled person with them to qualify for a special service plan that I barely use anyways. Either way, they probably broken a law or two and now, when I try to make them re-enable my service, they refuse to do so without forcing me to walk into the office and pay for sim card replacement.

My question is: are my suspicions have any real foundations? The problem is, if the sim card was indeed faulty, why would they start calling me prior to it dying, and why would it still communicate the information such as phone number to the phone if it was faulty? I can't even listen to those messages now since the access to them is gone with the service. Any suggestion or additional hints on what I can do to prove or disprove my theory are welcome.

Yeah I've seen it before. Pretty sure it's some kind of sensor under the display. If you are on a white screen, and look closely, you can actually see them.

I had that problem a few builds back. The error I got was a driver error. But I couldn't isolate which driver. After four install failures I did a reset.

It was annoying, but it forced me to debloat my system. I had several programs installed that I hadn't used in months.

Hello, I am writing about a translator.

I have now also bought a Tesla Style radio for my Opel Astra j. I would like to change the theme of the A/V bar, but unfortunately I can't get into the menu. When I click the center of the screen no menu pops up.

I found the Launcher folder, which also contains the various themes.

Can you please help me how to change the style.
[FYT Android Head Units] rigattoni:
Unfortunately this is not part of the launcher and depends on the seller. Even if, it is not easy to do and not changeable with some menu.
[FYT Android Head Units] Speed-Dog491:
Ok I understand, so this is part of the ROM?
[FYT Android Head Units] rigattoni:
Depends on the MCU of your unit.

Could be possible that your unit has an app called Eventcenter.apk

With your minimized and incomplete picture you provided it´s not possible to say.

Show the "About tablet" page where one can see the MCU, firmware and Android version and may be we can get further.

Hi,

This unit is based on FYT with SC7862 chipset.

I asked mods to move your request into the right forum.

May be you can find some more information about your chipset and possibilities to change things.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Depending on your CANbus and firmware, the CANbus apk can put this at the bottom of your screen.

I am afraid you can't change this as it would require some heavy modding which would most probably brak the signing of the apk and thereby make the app unusable.
[FYT Android Head Units] Speed-Dog491:
I just want to change the style not the function. There are different themes for this bar, I have already found them on the device in the folders. According to the operating instructions, you should tap on the screen and a menu will open in which, among other things, the background image can also be changed. But no menu opens for me.

[General Questions and Answers] GalaxyA325G:
Given that Android 8+ is comprised of multiple disjoint components....

This thread is asking about the over two dozen (and counting) Android core modules encompassed in Project Mainline/Treble/Google Play system updates/etc., now mostly simply referred to as "Google System updates"...

I have asked this fundamental question of everyone I can ever since the modular system often called project Mainline/Treble/etc had been announced way back for Android 10 & up...

I have yet to get _any_ answer whatsoever that has any basis in published facts from Google on for how long, or even by whom, these updates are pushed to your phone.

The fundamental question...

For the two dozen core modules covered in project Mainline, for how long does {Google/partner} update those two dozen core modules over Google Play Update services on Android 10+ phones? And how can we tell?

The answer...

Is it finite?

Is it forever?

Is it arbitrarily finite?

For how long are the two dozen core modules updated over Google Play for any given Android 10+ device?

(Also: How do we know when/if Google Play System Updates are happening?)

(And by whom?)

Note that Android is comprised of many classes of components:

Android security patch version (Settings > About > Software)

Google Play System version (Settings > About > Software)

Google Play Services version (Settings > Apps > Google Play Services)

Google Play Store version (Settings > Apps > Google Play Store)

Firmware versions (e.g., Qualcomm firmware covered under Project Treble)

Default system app versions (e.g., googlequicksearchbox, and many others)

And note that each of those components has a different way to check for updates:

Settings > Software update

Settings > About phone > Software information

Settings > Apps > Your apps > Google Play {Services,Store}

Google Play Store > Settings > About > Play Store version > Update Play Store

For how long are the two dozen core modules updated over Google Play for any given Android 10+ device?

(Also: How do we know when/if Google Play System Updates are happening?)

(And by whom?)
[General Questions and Answers] GalaxyA325G:
While Android 10 started with about a dozen core modules which are now automatically updated forever (Project Mainline, aka Google Play System Updates) over the Internet using the Google Services Framework structure, it appears that Android 13 has about 34 of those forever modules.

Details on Project Mainline are here.

I wonder where is the SMS being stored in WM? If you notice that each SMS occupy 1K, so if I have got 400 SMS does this mean I am utilizing 400K of the ROM?

I wonder also, how much could the inbox store in terms of SMS; I mean could it go upto 1000 without causing the system to slowdown or hang?

I remember there used to be a tool whereby one could backup those SMS to the desktop Outlook! What's this tool?

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Deleted member 7562125:
Hello,have S20+ with the latest Android. Using 2x SIM card (home, work). Every contacts are synchronized to my private google account.

Curently I have 500 contacts in Google Contacts. Device shows me 518 contacts.

Sync doesn't work well. Deleted all contacts from google (500 contacts), in device are 43 contacts now. Deleted them and everything from the trash. Imported 500 contacts to google again, mobile shows me 571 contacts now.

Have this problem for some months. Sometimes I found a lot of contacts are deleted (in trash). Google shows me contacts was deleted by device ie at the night if I sleep.

- tried factory reset, didn't help

- yesterday I removed all contacts again and manually add every contact via google contacts. When 30 contacts was in google contacts, device shows me 42 contacts (a lot of duplicates again).

Any fix for that please? It's really uncomfortable. With iOS I didn't have these problems. I'm thinking about returning to iOS again!

example of duplicates in attachment.. If I go to find duplicates in device (by number, name, email), it still shows me there are no duplicates

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] 73sydney:
SIM will have some carrier contacts and may have some you saved there in the past?. You may have saved some to the native or other dialler contacts before making Google the default account for contacts

Dont think the device has a problem, just think you havent realised how contacts works or realised theres carrier and dialler contacts.

Stop reimporting them and creating more issues.

Stop manually recreating them because Google will sync and create duplicates - youre creating the problem there...

Google Contacts has an option to merge and fix contacts, both in the Contacts app and in the online web page

Sign in - Google Accounts

Please never mention that locked down abomination of a phone OS again, we like freedom here...though it may be jarring to some
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Deleted member 7562125:
you're not right man..

1. don't have any contacts in SIM cards (tried both SIM in another device)

2. made factory reset (without restore backup) few times, still same problem

3. never had this problem with Android 11. It started with Android 12 I think

4. today tried delete all contacts and reimport again 4x. Everytime device showed me wrong number.

4.1 - first import shows me 28 contacts difference

4.2 - second import - 15 contacts difference

4.3 - third import - 41 contacts difference

4.4 - fourth import - 1 difference

5. if device shows me duplicates, there are no duplicates in google contacts

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] jamesbond2285:
I was attempting to unlock my boot loader and flash a custom ROM, I was following a guide on YouTube specifically for this phone, and he was using US99610 firmware instead of Verizon firmware (to prevent uncontrolled vibration during 1st boot) I messed up the process and couldn't get back to TWRP, so I used his patched LGup tool to attempt to flash stock firmware back, because I could no longer use my phone's screen without connecting to HDMI and using a mouse and keyboard. I flashed it back to stock and everything seemed normal, until it didn't boot at all. I then tried to reflash the US996 firmware and LGup stopped at 4% with an error: SPC code does not match, please try again. Any ideas how I can unbrick it? If I connect it in download mode the tool still sees my phone fine, with the US99610 firmware on it. I can post pictures and a link to the YouTube video for further clarification. I've tried using patched LGup and partition dl to flash back, that's what throws the SPC code error. Any help would be appreciated

Hi. I've recently installed LineageOS 19 and now thinking to go back to stock OxygenOS 12. Before LineageOS, phone's model was LE2115, after installing LineageOS it changed to LE2110 (will it somehow affect reverting back to stock?). Can someone guide me, please, what kind of steps I should do exactly to return back to stock? Thanks.

And one more thing — is it possible to reobtain play store certification (and thus safetynet) by reverting back to stock?

You just need to use the MSM Tool to go back to stock.

If you flash the MSM Tool, it resets your device to what it was out of the box, including a locked bootloader, so SafetyNet passes.

AFAIK, this (often hidden) Android activity will (should?) bring up band selection options on any Android phone.

Windows:
C:\> adb shell am start -n com.android.settings/.network.telephony.MobileNetworkActivity

Termux:
$ am start -n com.android.settings/.network.telephony.MobileNetworkActivity

In addition, there are many network-band utilities on the Google Play Store repository which will call that (hidden) Activity on any given phone, for example:

Network Mode Universal, by JunHyung Lee

free, ad free, gsf free, in-app purchase free

3.4star, 2.2K reviews, 100K+ Downloads

Below are screenshots for my phone showing the type of options you get for band selection when you bring up that hidden activity.

Once you know the unique package name and activity name, you can manually create a one-tap homescreen shortcut that enables/disables any desired band in a single tap!

Hi All

Been dying to upgrade my Advantage 7501 and try out some of the new ROMS and the new radio on here. Went to the sticky and spent a day browsing the forums to see what I could pick up, even went to how not to brick your device thread. However I am still having issues

First thing I did was remove the SIM and SD cards, I had just reset the device yesterday so I did not reset again. I got a hold of the AthenaWrapper program and it worked as advertised. Getting into bootloader I have:

Athe100

IPL-v2.02

Athe100

SPL-v1.20.Olipro

However, this is where I run into issues. A soft reset does nothing but give me a black screen. I can get into the hard reset screen okay but when I cancel out I get back to the black screen.

Device also does not sync up with Activesync or WMDC?

Not sure what to try next or how to get back on track

Have tried on both Vista and XP.

Anyone have any suggestions
