[Moto G50] naltar:
Hello,

As usual with all my 'new' phones, I struggle with file explorer as I prefer to sideload my apps (I'm not Google's best friend) via desktop / usb / micro-sb / install. This seems to coincide with Google's view that micro-sd card is not Google's best friend either, and it seems (am I wrong?) that with each new OS variant, it's a steeper and steeper uphill struggle with Android v. external storage. I managed, in the end, to take it under control in Android 6, but under Android 12 in my new G50 I've failed miserably. Basically, every (about 5 - 6) file manager / browser apps I installed (from apks put directly in internal memory), fails to see the micro-sd. I formatted and then formatted again inside my phone (my desktop can see it, G50 can see it in settings (storage), Storage can 'see it, but those apps can't see what is actually inside. I have a vague idea it's about 'permissions', but I did check that those file manager apps have permission for 'file and media' and no other permissions have been denied, so I've hit the wall here.

Interestingly (perhaps 'obviously'), VLC player can browse (and play) sound files on the card, even though it's got exactly the same permissions. Presumably some photo browser would be able to access images on the card, so why is that such a struggle with file managers?

In fact, I wouldn't mind the built-in file browser ('Files'?), if it wasn't for the fact that it's an abomination to start it. I can see it in settings (as system app), but I can't create a shortcut to it (home screen), because it's not listed in the app drawer (presumably, as it's a system app). So, to get to any files on micro-sd, I need to go through a very convoluted route of:

Settings > Storage > choose storage > Files.

On top of which, it is a truly HORRIBLE file browser in terms of features and interface. Yes, there's the google files app, which also can access micro-sd card, but I generally disable all Google apps, unless I absolutely have to.

Is there anything else I can do about it, or is that 'it', i.e. this is baked in and no replacements will work? (short of google files and rooting, presumably, but I can't root G50, because I do need a couple of banking apps and one or two others, which won't work on rooted handset).

Regards,

N.

Welcome the the Gookill nightmare of scoped storage. Some more work arounds.

Google hates expandable storage as it conflicts with their lame cloud everything strategy. Like MS they want to ram cloud down our throats.

I run 2 Samsung N10+'s one on Pie the other Q so I don't have to deal with this bs.

[Android Auto General] martinwright3:
Hi all,

I've been searching around and it seems there are many use cases for this, mine specifically is I have a cheap AA screen which I want to display Waze on, but I want the music/audio to go through the cars standard bluetooth stereo system.

When you connect to wireless android auto all audio is routed over wireless to that unit. Is there any way around this?

The unit I bought only has a terrible inbuilt speaker or FM transmitter for audio output, and the quality of both is awful.
[Android Auto General] drew raska:
Hi. I have the same problem
[Android Auto General] ph03n!x:
Short answer, No - Android Auto routes only phone calls over Bluetooth and all other audio is routed through WiFi or USB. This is by design.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Jebus Chrit:
I got my tilt I think now over a year ago. I want to revamp it instead of paying hundreds and upgrading to a fuze or an iphone.

Right now I am constantly getting memory low messages even though I can barely find anything to delete. Even when I try to download and install things on to my card which has plenty of room, I keep getting the error.

Is there a way I can start nice and clean?

In addition to this, can I add the new new flo software? Also, the skyfire beta is open now right? So I can redownload it(It's growing on me.

How would I go about restarting everything, and how would I go about installing the new rom for flo(this is what I have to do right?)

Is it all worth it?

Last but not least, does anyone suggest a nice case for the tilt? I carry it around in my pocket so it can't be bulky and it can't let dust in.

Thank you in advance.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dpwFalken:
Try a hard reset?

A hard reset should put the phone back to how it was when you first got it. It'll wipe all your data so make sure you backup all your contacts etc first. I use PIMBackup to do this. Its probably worth doing a little search on this before you do anything, to make sure you know what it'll do.

If you want to install new a ROM follow the Flashing your First Rom (For Newbs) on the Kaiser ROM development page.

Don't know about the other stuff.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] HDCowboy:
I'm curious how many have purchased the Samsung Care+ warranty for the Flip 4. I bought my phone during the pre-order and have 27 more days to enroll and have been debating it. I haven't ever accidentally damaged a phone (except an original Razr back in the day) but with the Flip/Folds I feel they are a bit more delicate than others and debating if it might be worth it. What are others opinions?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] mt2020:
Yep. Think first 3 or 4 months free, then $8. Never bought insurance before, always got new phone every 1 or 2 years with insane trade in values, but this new design at $1k changed my mind.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] HDCowboy:
If my understanding is correct it's only free in certain countries and the US is not one of them.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] mt2020:
They gave it to me, and I'm in US. Went to website, plugged in my serial number, said I'm eligible, and it gave it to me. About 3 weeks ago and haven't been billed. Just logged in and says I'm covered. I did buy phone directly from Samsung unlocked.

Thanks, finally figured it out and went ahead and ordered it and supposedly got the 3 free months, their website is a PIA to navigate and just kept taking me around it circles for the longest!

[General Questions and Answers] LieLaw:
Hi all,

I would like to ask how to unlock my bootloader while stuck in download mode?

After an unsuccessful flash of a stock firmware, I was stuck in download mode on my Samsung device and can't install any FW.

While in download mode I get the following message:

Samsung Custom binary (System) blocked by oem lock

Is there any possibility to unlock the bootloader?

Thank you

LieLaw
[General Questions and Answers] ze7zez:
Are you sure you flash the correct firmware version for your model?

Give more details, because no one can help you if you don't help yourself.
[General Questions and Answers] LieLaw:
Thank you for the reply. I’ll try to give all information I can.

My version on the phone was:

G887NKSU2CTI2 from the Provider KTC.

My phone was kind of broken (couldn’t update with an existing update possibility and apps closed by itself even after clean install).

So I wanted to install manually with Odin the latest stock firmware from the provider KTC: G887NKSU2CVH2.

This should be actually no problem, but the flash failed and now I can’t do anything with the phone. The only thing I can find on the internet is to open the bootloader, but I don’t know how I can do this.

I’ve uploaded a picture of how it looks like now. It’s translated because original text was korean.

For the usb port I would buy this one after a quick search on aliexpress too, the store has a good percentage of positive reviews and over 6000 followers.. so you should be ok with them to get a replacement in case of parcel lost or receive a damage one. Although I never got bad deals from sellers with these conditions.

Hi, I'm looking for people using SIM card from Slovak Telekom.

I want to help with testing of VoLTE.

To confirm this I need someone willing to test it.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Dexer125:
Please, after uninstalling this mod and rebooting, could you go to phone and dial *#*#4636#*#* then click 3 dots menu in the upper corner and check IMS Service Status. If VoLTE is still available it will be same as on the picture. I also need your Build version, Play Services and Play Store version.

I have Telekom, but I am not on VoLTE, since that requires root.

But a friend of mine with a Pixel 6 Pro and with Orange SIM is using VoLTE and VoWiFi without any problems, but he rooted his Pixel.

To know if you are using VoLTE or VoWiFi, check out your recent call history. Next to your contacts, there should be an icon of HD or WiFi.

I can see that you have dual sim. What SIMs are you using? One is Telekom and the other? On which Android build are you? Latest stable or Beta build? Asking because you have more recent "verzia nastavení operátora" than me.

Okay. So you're telling me and confirming that VoLTE and 5G works on Telekom SIM even without mod? I mean if you can really connect, not if option is available in settings. If yes, that are some great news.

It's working I think more than one year. 100%sure on s21ultra and s22ultra. On p6p is showing 5G but now I have no data so can't test speed :D
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Dexer125:
On Samsung phones it's normal that is working. If it's showing 5G then it works even without that mod which is great. Then there is no need of unlocking bootloader anymore, maybe just Repainter 🤷‍♂️😅

Ah, there is more profits of rooting devices. AOSP mods, Pixel launcher mods, GMS doze, themer, battery trackers and wakelock blockers, :)

I know them but to be honest, I've never benefited from them. 🤷‍♂️ I am using root for years also custom ROMs and kernels but on Pixel there is no need of custom ROM for me.
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] jungleexplorer:
So, I recently moved to a new home out in the country, and where I live, I have no cell reception. I do have Starlink\, so I have WiFi. I have service through Good2Go Mobile, which is an AT&T MVNO, and I have confirmed that they do offer VoWiFi support for the 7T. However, the option to turn it on does not even appear in the system menu. It is not that it does not work, it is that the option to even turn it on is found nowhere in the menu system. My phone is fully updated to all the latest of all software. I have contacted OnePlus support and talked to the trained monkeys there, but the stupid responses I get from them just makes me want to try to jump to another place in the multiverse. It is basically a game of "Pass the buck" now. Good2Go says it is OnePlus's issue to fix, and OnePluse says it is Good2Go's issue to fix.

I tried posting on the OnePlus community support forums, but it appears that OePlus has done away with those since I last posted there. Par for the course for a company that has stopped caring about user feedback.

Anyway, does anyone know what I can do here? As of now, I have my friends and family contacting me via WhatsApp, but last week I missed a very important freight delivery because they could not call me to confirm delivery. American companies are so far behind in the technology district. I can call and book flights, hotels, and do other forms of business in most 3rd world countries on Whatsapp, but not in America, they do not even know what it is.

Your 7T can be converted to global. Go here and find the thread that fits

https://xdaforums.com/f/oneplus-7t-guides-news-discussion.9252/

it is time consuming, but not difficult. Search /ask in that forum if you run into a problem. Just be aware that this is a fairly old phone and the fora aren't as active as they used to be

But you still might not get vowifi to enable. It really does depend on the carrier. For example VZW WILL NOT authorize a phone to use vowifi on their network unless it was bought through them.
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] jungleexplorer:
I am Good2Go Mobile, and they don't sell their own phones. all phones are BYO. They have authorized the phone for VoWIFI. My phone is getting more and more unstable. I got four Crashdumps today. So, at this point, either it is software or hardware. If it is software, maybe converting it to global will fix it and get me VoWIFI. If it is hardware, then converting to global will not fix the problem, and I will have to upgrade anyway.

I bought the 7T just for the camera, which has lived up to my greatest expectations. It really is a great camera. If I am going to upgrade, what would be a phone you would suggest that has a great camera that is a least two years old. Yes, I know the lastest and greatest phones have great cameras, but I am not that rich. I am content with using phones a couple gens back and saving a thousand dollars of the sticker price.
