Managed to get the imei from the person who sold me what i traded in. Hopefully that will help.

update 9/26 no clue if they found the device or just issued the credit but either way got $300 for the 3a.
[Google Pixel 6a] 971shep:
My trade in was confirmed today - Google backed it up with a Saturday Email. Need to wait 2 -5 business days for the money to show up.
[Google Pixel 6a] CoOlSlY:
Can I send it with UPS instead of USPS and pay for the shipping or there's something specific that it has to be in their enveloppe?
[Google Pixel 6a] :
Nov-2022 Update - I kept complaining to them about this and they FINALLY put a $40 refund on my credit card. (I think I still have a $40 store credit too). So I got my $300($340) for a quoted 4a5g in acceptable condition. Better late than never.
[Google Pixel 6a] dkhman26:
Does anyone have the address for the La Vergne, TN warehouse that receives these returns? USPS lost my package but I didn't think to get a picture of the address on the return label and Google support apparently doesn't know the addres... I need the full address to file a claim with USPS.
[Google Pixel 6a] :
No you do not. And google knows this information. I'm sorry to tell you this. But from someone who had to wait 2 months for a $40 refund from a promised $300 trade in value with videos to prove it--I had to shove the video evidence down their $*$&$ing throats over and over until I found someone with a heart and a brain who escalated the issue.

Therefore with your issue, you need to hound the ***k out of them. Don't stop. You are a paying customer. They have that information. You should not have to be Google's slueth/gumshoe. Make THEM do their jobs.
[Google Pixel 6a] ryan92084:
sounds like you need to talk to a different rep. they are going to want your order number for the trade-in, the imei of the phone, and maybe the tracking number.

It has been 4 months and usps says my return is still "In transit but arriving late" once i gave my imei the credit was processed within a business week.

10.1 vertical screen.

2GB ram and 32GB of storage surprising runs very well

Android 10 on it .

I tried couple different launcher(s) .. they mostly ok...

I am looking how do I edit the homepage not replace?

I don't like Giant Bluetooth button on the bottom... I feel that any problems with apps is because that overkill bar.

I have soft buttons on the radio at the bottom and software buttons right over top... its silly over kill and its takeover .25% of my screen real estate.

I don't see the themes options anywhere... That has been the only error so far...

I also looked closely because a lot of these units were 1gb and 16gb and have limited ports int he back... I got one with al thee active port but no the DAB radio .. the unts that were 1gb were the sub 99-135 anything with ore ram was 166

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions] onefastneonrt:
I currently have a unlocked T-mobile S21 that I am using on a Verizon based MVNO. Is there or would there be any benefits to switching the firmware over to Verizon instead of using T-mobile that's on the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions] AsItLies:
I'd suggest switching to one of the 'open' versions, that has a multi csc capability and should thus have all the necessary ability to use the mvno you prefer. The t-mo rom may work, but it almost certainly won't have the full capabilities, such as all bands used, possibly volte working, vowifi, and there may be other things also.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions] onefastneonrt:
Thank you. You make a valid point about going to a unlocked version.

I tried to flash the Verizon firmware along with the user_data files with no success.

I still get all of the T-mobile splash screens and all of the their bloatware. The service provider software version still states TMB/XAA,TMB/TMB but my baseband and build number are Verizons. Maybe I am not knowledgeable to this extend.

All I would like to do is get rid of T-mobile and make it a Verizon phone.

Alright, before some people get started, I have read the noob's sticky and have done the HardSPL and such. I am just having SO MANY problem's with everything (just the AT&T Tilt, I need to get rid of the AT&T crap) so I just want to know what ROM people would recomend for person who doens't need crazy special program's. All I use is the internet and text msging and some GPS. What is the fastest ROM with pretty much the most basic program's on it?

I had the AT&T Rom which I unlocked by getting the unlock code and then I did the hard reset and configured the phone and then a soft reset before the AT&T crap got loaded onto my phone but now I can't set up the internet???? (I think's it's because I don't have the AT&T program to turn off the proxy?)

I know you guy's get a lot of these question's that seem stupid but I am new to the Kaiser so help would be very much appreciatted.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kareeem:
1. Wrong forum.

2. Everybody has their own taste.

3. Test them all out and see which you like best.

4. Thread's going to probably get closed.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mikemorris:
haha search? it's all good just search a lot before posting personally i spend atleast two days searching threads and trying things before i post up my problem.:o
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] macdo:
You should start trying the last Official Rom, look for them in the wiki

Good Luck!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Junner2003:
Well, I don't think this is the wrong forum to ask - it has nothing to do with ROM DEVELOPMENT, it is just a general question! :D

I too would say: try the latest offical HTC ROM - it has no user customization / user preferred application integrated and is almost clean. In addition, it has everything to get you started, from AUTO NETWORK / INTERNET CONFIGURATION to STREAMING MEDIA PLAYER.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kristoff_sz:
I would prefer the newest firmware from Zelmer Iron.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] carltmac:
I think it is hilarious how people just LOVE to get on other's ass's about simple question's. I am asking for people OPINION'S!!!!!!!!! If you don't feel like giving one well hell, THEN DON'T!!!!!! Also the wrong forum thing, that's strange because I don't think that I am developing any rom's am I? I thought this was a "general" question? It's funny because when I have talked to people on other site's, this is EXACTLY what they said about some people here, instead of just helping you the love to chirp about nothing.

Well thank's to the one person to recomended the HTC ROM. I appreciatte 1 decent person.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kareeem:
You know, it's not even that, but when you get ongoing threads about the same idea, it gets extremely annoying.

The ROM i like wont necessarily be the ROM that you like; it's a matter of taste and content.

Anyhow, to answer your question, i'm on my own Kareem's RevROM v4.44.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] carltmac:
I understand what your saying 100%, the only thing is what do I search? Like I went to the "built in forum search" and when I type in what I am looking for (under Kaiser obviously) I get like 100 thread's that each have 100 page's? I am not trying to be that lazy guy that want's everything done, I am just that new guy that want's to learn how to make a good phone freaking awesome.

Thank's for the help, I'll give that ROM a shot.

Also this will clear 100% everything off of my phone and just let me start new correct?????

I want to get this internet going since I am paying for 6GB's a month haha.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Bjd223:
For me some of the best Kaiser Roms are ROMeOS 4.6 (no manilla) and Solace 1.5 or 2.0 Beta (manilla 2D).

Unfortunately both Chefs have moved on from cooking Kaiser roms, so those are probably the last versions of each.

Anyway, those Roms are fast, and use the minimalistic mentality. They do not come with anything extra, however there are extra applications in the extended ROM if you want to install them.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Valtamr:
That is exactly the point. The reason you get 100 different threads when you search is because of threads like this one. Now the next guy will get 101 different threads.

This place is a great database of knowledge, but these threads don't add anything to that. Nothing new will be learned in this thread - no new problem solved. Threads like this just make the informative posts and knowledge gaining threads less likely to be found.

People aren't getting on you because they don't want to help or they just want to yell, it's because they see the big picture. They see that in trying to help yourself, you are hurting everyone else.

My Tilt is the first phone I've ever had that could do more than call someone, yet using only information that I've gleaned from this site, I've been able to unlock my phone, flash dozens of different ROMs, flash dozens of different radios, write my own scripts, and develop my own small apps to accomplish what I wanted to do. The key part here is that I did all of this without starting a single thread. I'm sure there are hundreds of others who can say the same thing....and it's probably why they seem annoyed. They know it's possible to find the information because they've done it....but they also know that it's now becoming increasingly more difficult to find it again.

If you don't know what to search for, just start browsing the ROM development forum and look for the threads that are the hottest and that have the most posts. That will tell you which ROMs people are using. Find a handful of them and read the details. See which ones look the cleanest and don't have the apps that you don't want (or have the ones that you do).....and then try a few. Kareem's right - my answer is going to be different than his or anybody else's. There will be just as many answers as there are ROMs, so looking through the ROMs themselves seems like the obvious way to get the information you seek.

You can be a great contributor to this place by taking the time to find the information that is already present, and in doing so, making it easier for the next user to do the same.

Hello All,

I have an unlocked Pixel 6 and i would like PIXEL 6 to enable or select specific 5G SA Bands..... I have Android 13 beta installed in Pixel 6.....

I have tried the codes below but it gives blank screen.

*#*#27663368378#*#* and *#*#276633683782#*#*

Is there any way that i can use some secret code to force Pixel 6 to scan or lock to specific 5G SA band.........

I have a CPE that i have forced to only register with band 71 or 78 in 5G SA mode and it works great......

Thank you

Wait until the google animation starts (after the fastboot screen) and hold volume up and power together. You should feel the phone vibrate and it should go into "safe boot mode."
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bvogt:
So here's the situation:

I have a Pixel 5. There's an app that I use that only has limited functionality on the Pixel 5, but has additional features available, by design, on other specific phones - a handful of Samsung phones including the S20. The app is compatible with the Pixel 5 but the extra functionality is only allowed to operate on the other Samsung phones. Let's assume that the Pixel 5 has the hardware capabilities to run the app with the extra functionality. Is there any way to "trick" the app into thinking that it's on a Samsung S20, or one of the other compatible phones without rooting the Pixel 5?

[Redmi Note 11S 4G / POCO M4 Pro 4G (fleur)] ywarvl96:
1)Heating:

My Poco M4 4g heats to 41C while watching instagram reels.

Is this normal?

Does your phone do the same?

what about redmi note 11s 4g? is it any better in this regard?

2)CPU Throttling:

My phone throttles to 53% of max performance and battery drained 4%, does this mean for the most part this phones antutu score is reduced by half when CPU is throttling?

how much does your phone throttle?

3)DISPLAY:

My m4 pro's display is slightly yellowish/warm. Reading mode is off

Is your poco m4 pro 4g display yellowish/warm or blueish/cool?

My previous phone Vivo Y91i has a bluish/cool display the whites look way more bright and white even with low brightness. On Poco the greys like comment area on instagram reels etc... look yellowish, which looks horrible. naturally all the pictures I take look yellowish/warm

I tried setting the color temperature to cool but its still yellowish. I tried color color schemes Vivid, Saturated and Standard. Standard was the worst.

Can I fix it with the right settings? or an app (I hear those drain battery) or is there a blue tinted screen protector? (just throwing it out there)

4)Camera:

Selfie camera oversharpens, makes my skin look bad.

Does your camera oversharpen too? or is it just mine?

I tried Gcam 8.4.600 skin looks smoother but Gcam is only capable of making 4MP images.

Do you know of an alternative camera app? Or atleast tricks to edit the photos?

5)Screen on time:

I get 7 hours of SOT on wifi with 75% brightness level(I don't have a SIM card in it at the moment)

How much SOT do you get and what is your brightness level

6)Speaker loudness:

Before buying this device I checked GSMArena's loudness rating and on comparing with poco x4 pro M4 pro 4g was rated better. Recently I watched a video comparison where reviewer says its not quite as loud as x4 pro.

are GSMArena's rating wrong? or is TechTablets wrong?

Are Dolby certified phones like moto g52 or g71 louder?
[Redmi Note 11S 4G / POCO M4 Pro 4G (fleur)] aricooperdavis:
The only issue that I recognise from that list is oversharpening, which the stock camera app is guilty of. You can fiddle with it a bit in the settings to improve it, but I've not found any other apps much better. I'm perfectly happy with my screen-on time, loudspeaker, display tint etc.

I would note that the display seems to boost brightess in bright sunlight which you can't adjust using the brightness slider in the settings drawer which is a bit irritating.
[Redmi Note 11S 4G / POCO M4 Pro 4G (fleur)] ywarvl96:
Heating up to 41C while watching instagram reels is normal on most phones?

Youtube reviewers said the phone heats up while gaming, which I understand and didn't care for as I don't game usually but no one oncesaid using insta heats up so badly, which would have made me reconsider my buying decision.
[Redmi Note 11S 4G / POCO M4 Pro 4G (fleur)] ywarvl96:

[General Topics] GalaxyA325G:
[Privacy] How much of a unique threat is publishing your Android (perhaps unique?) serial number to the Internet in the many screenshots we post to illustrate results?

I, for one, publish illustrative screenshots in almost every thread I author so that others can easily see what I'm writing about, and so that they learn from me and then they can more easily help me learn from what they know.

Often, lately anyway, a lot of those screenshots are adb output as I strive to make the most of the brand new Android 11 and even newer Android 12 Developer options Wireless debugging features.

Here's an adb-output screenshot, for example, that I just posted today to illustrate my quest for adb syntax to divine port numbers.

View attachment 5678055

Normally I would painstakingly edit each and every instance of the Android serial number.

View attachment 5678059

But that just makes it harder to properly show in an image what needs to be shown (particularly with command-line syntax questions) because almost every screenshot contains "something" that is unique to the Android device - does it not?

View attachment 5678063

The reason I feel the need to ask for more information about how much privacy is inherent in the (unique?) Android serial number is simply that all this ex-temporary ad hoc editing prevents me from being able to illustrate problems well...

View attachment 5678067

The end result being I'd much rather NOT have to edit out the Android serial number if I don't have to.

View attachment 5678073

Hence my basic question about tracking and privacy on the Internet via the Android serial number...

How much of a unique threat is publishing your Android serial number to the Internet?
[General Topics] blackhawk:
I wouldn't.
[General Topics] GalaxyA325G:
Yes. But.

That's not the question.

It's sort of like asking "What can people do if they have your license plate number where in some US states they can legally look up where you live by just that information; but in other states, they can't.

Of course, it's best to hide the serial number but that's NOT the question.

The question is what can people actually do WITH it.

BTW, by accident just now, while I was testing out the ladb app open source "local android debug bridge" app, I belatedly realized in the PC command-line queries that sometimes adb says the Android device serial number is of (what I'll call the "long form") and sometimes the serial number output is of (what I'll call the "short form")...

Long form serial number:

"adb-YFVR80V7YFY-yF7kj8._adb_tls-connect._tcp."

Short form serial number:

"YFVR80V7YFY"

That syntactical difference may be important to privacy (e.g., what's that "other stuff"?).

Does anyone know what all that other "stuff" is that's prepended but mostly appended to (what I'll call the) "short form" serial number?

Does anyone have any clue where the EDL points on the Realme GT Master Edition

Took it apart and was unable to find the points by bridging them across with an exposed wire, and disconnecting the battery and plugging in the usb cable.
[Realme GT Master Edition] Renate:
It's possible that it's in that big line of dots on the bottom left.

But don't just go shorting things, you could vaporize something useful!

If you know for a definite fact that two points are it you could just short them with a wire.

But if you're just poking around it's much better/safer to use a resistor, 200-3000 ohms.

Use your fingernails and pull up the mezzanine/FPC connectors for the three cameras.

Manufacturers like to hide stuff under the FPC.

If you have a voltmeter, check for one point that is 1.8V and another that is 0V
