I wouldn't worry about what the USPS tracking shows. Mine got stuck in a loop in Nashville when I sent my trade-in. I checked with USPS who said I need to connect directly with Google but USPS also told me that with the volume of such trade-ins, there is a possibility that the delivery scan was not completed properly and its likely it will be delivered (either on time or with a few days delay and sometimes in batches).

Then I contacted Google directly who told me that they were aware of issues with USPS deliveries and trade-in (particularly this year). Two days after I called Google, I got a notification that they indeed received my phone (though USPS still shows as stuck in Nashville/in transit), completed the check within 24 hours, paid the trade-in value to my bank account which was deposited in another 24 hours.

Also, Google said, once the Trade-in has been sent by the customer, it will be Google's responsibility and they will ensure the trade-in value is refunded back to the customer (and if the delivery of the trade-in is delayed by USPS, they will conduct an inquiry/search). In any case, Google assured that trade-in values will always end up with the customer one way or the other. I have been doing this almost every year since the first Pixel and have not had any issues with Google actually completing the process (though USPS can sometimes be a nuclear wasteland of an organization when it comes to shipping, delivery, tracking, systems, etc.!).
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] android_dan:
Everyone is keeping in mind that the phone has a lithium battery in it and therefore must go ground.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] WingedCow:
Mines shown it was delivered on 10/21 but google page still shows "Waiting to receive old phone". I did contact google support and escalated the ticket but so far I'm in a loop of google support contacting their "product specialist" lol.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] bosox284:
Are you shipping your phone? Have you actually looked at the tracking? Ground doesn't take two weeks to go from Illinois (or Boston in my case) to Tennessee. It should take at most 5 days. Shipping it ground is irrelevant to the situation unfolding right now.

I'm in a similar boat. Mine was delivered 11/3, contacted Google today and now I'm waiting to hear back.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] android_dan:
Do you know what kind of shipping Google is paying for? That phone may go to FL then to TX then to TN. IDK that there is any law that says they have to update tracking. I find it not all that uncommon for shippers to not update tracking. Everyone is under staffed, the people that are there don't want to work, and everything is a clusterf. And yes, shipped the 6 back last week.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] bosox284:
First-Class Mail, which USPS' own website says should be delivered within 1-5 business days.

It's not just about updating tracking, even when they do update the packages are often held at distribution centers local to the shipper or once they get to Tennessee. Just look at the tracking info provided by myself and the two others. That's not normal, hence why we have a thread to track and provide data points.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] android_dan:
I guess I'm not as taken aback because of what I see going on at work. We have equipment sitting dead because we cannot secure parts. Stuff gets lost in shipping. We have over 750k of new equipment purchases we have been waiting on for months and will not show up this year we are told. Not sure most really realize how close things are to really collapsing. Believe me, Google and your phone could soon be the least of your problems.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] WingedCow:
So I contacted them about a week after they received it and have been updated 3 times so far with the same "blah blah blah, we'll update you in 1-3 days"
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Amd4life:
Whew----It took 4 weeks, but my trade-in was just processed. Oddly enough, it was received October 28 and according to the tracking information its still moving through the network as of November 1.

Morale of the story, USPS tracking is useless, but hopefully everyone receives their full trade in. Id recommend using the anti-tampering stickers and taking pictures of your device.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] CarpeCarnim:
Got the email this morning that they've processed my trade in and credited my account. I suspect the credit will actually show up Monday, but the whole process was more difficult than it should have been.

Google takes the blame for this, regardless if they're contracting out their returns.

Just waiting for the Black Friday sale to get my wife a P7 now...with another trade in needed
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] WingedCow:
Just an update on my specific case, so my order status still shows waiting to receive phone, but Google manually refunded me for the full amount of the trade in, says will be available in 14 days.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Curiousn00b:
Update on my post as well, Google as just sent me an email giving me a courtesy refund, got the full 305 for my 4XL.

Kinda sucks that they claim they never received it though. It was such a great phone.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] HipKat:
Meh, here's mine

UK trade-in

Posted: 3rd Nov

Received: 4th Nov

Acknowledged 11th Nov 10:50am

Confirmed full value: 11th Nov 17:00
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] wolfu11:
Mine took forever but luckily it went through.

Didn't realize they give a store credit instead of full trade in value. It still shows moving through network in the USPS tracking..... Not sure I'll do this again though. Was nerve racking for sure.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] dimm0k:
what are you saying specifically? from your screenshot it looks like 899 is being refunded to your card
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] wolfu11:
I got an email stating if they couldn't refund the credit card they were going to just give me a store credit. So now I'm going to have to wait and see what the heck's going on. But I didn't realize they had that option.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Aphex13:
I got my email from Google today. My phone has been assessed, and I'm receiving full credit.

Hang in there everyone.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] bosox284:
Finally got mine as well. Got the email yesterday my phone was received and trade-in processed. Almost a full month after I shipped it out. A ridiculous ride, but I'm happy it's over.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] android_dan:
Sent my P6 in 11/5. Received email today saying they received it and the condition is: Turns on

No cracks

Factory reset

So now waiting on offer. Was a little nervous after reading some of the post here but so far my experience has been drama free.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] android_dan:
And just received the email that I'm allowed the full $440 refund. No complaints here.
[Nothing Phone 1] xtcislove:
So if you move your phone the fingerprint "ring" pops up on the screen and you can use it to unlock your device.

So far so good but its probably a unneccessary battery consumer.

Under the menu where you manage your fingerprints, you can turn off this option, if i understand right.

As you can see i turned it off but the ring still pops up. But i dont really understand it, sometimes it pops up now i have to touch my screen for it to pop up.

Can someone explain me this feature? I usually only unlock my phone if i really like to use it. This ring is the only thing that annoys me on thif lovely device.
[Nothing Phone 1] hemanth.k:
can confirm, that toggle deosnt make any difference for me.
[XPERIA X1 General] jimmeh1988:
Can we get some opinions on the best software to use for converting videos for use on the x1 as well as the configs for the software please?
[XPERIA X1 General] zenkinz:
3gp converter works well! convert your videos into MP4 if you do not wish to use third party player to play.

I do have a question, I have a few xvid movies, should I convert it to mp4 (so that I can use the media xperience panel). I understand media panel uses hardware acceleration, but not sure for what codec., anybody?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Bxperiaz3:
Hi guys. Running substratum on my pixel 7 pro, so far swift black and Flux seem to work but recently stopped themeing whatsapp. Does anyone have any other themes that work? Thanks
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:
From what I understand, new updates to Whatsapp broke theming and it can't be fixed. Heard 2 different themers say this. Go back to an old Whatsapp version if you want it themed.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] cd993:
Experienced the same, think I'm gonna roll back for now
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Bxperiaz3:
Yeah I figured as much. I tried a roll back to two weeks ago but it didn't work, maybe I need to go back further 🤷‍♂️
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Yeah, I don't use it so not sure what the last working version is.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] cd993:
Pretty sure it was from the very latest update, or maybe second to last.....?! Haven't got round to uninstalling/reinstalling the older apk, will try it soon. Kinda making do for now lol
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Curiousn00b:
Ahhhhh, so that's what happened to WhatsApp. I was wondering why it got so ugly, lmao.

If you use LSPosed, you can use a module to downgrade your APK without uninstalling. I use XDowngrader. Going to downgrade now and see what happens.

Edit: The last version that theming works correctly on currently is 2.22.22.80. I've linked the text to APKMirror.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] cd993:
Thank you very much for taking the time to share not only a method to downgrade but also the last working version! Much appreciated. I'm now back to black too - soooo much better 😎

Update: used a combination of Detach & also Mindetach magisk modules to hide WhatsApp from the Play Store wanting to update

Further update: seems neither of these detaching methods are working for me. If anyone can suggest any that are working, please let me know!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] riz157:
Does it work without root?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Curiousn00b:
What're you doing without root?

This thread is about Substratum+WhatsApp. Substratum requires root to use.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] riz157:
That's all I needed to know need root to use substratum. That's a shame
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Bxperiaz3:
You legend. Thank you!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Bxperiaz3:
I would also be interested in a way to do this!

Hello !

I cannot edit my "cscfeatures.xml" file.

When I open it via root explorer, it is encrypted.

Do you have any idea?

I just installed Android 12 on a galaxy s10+ . Rooted of course!

Thank you:)

There's tool called csc decrypt or you can download from custom rom and use it
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] GostSn:
Hi,

Thanks I managed to decode it now.

The problem is that when I add it again on the phone, and add

"<CscFeature_VoiceCall_ConfigRecording>RecordingAllowed</CscFeature_VoiceCall_ConfigRecording>"

It has no effect, And in addition it disables other features, such as antispam.

Do you have an idea ?

Thanks :)

[Samsung Galaxy J4+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Gabriel260BR:
LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 12 (S), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. You will need to provide your own Google Applications package (gapps). LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

What's working:

Bluetooth

RIL (Calls, SMS, Mobile Data)

WiFi/Hotspot

GPS

Camera

HWC

All basic features that are not in the "not working" list

What's not working:

VoLTE and other proprietary Samsung stuff (won't be fixed)

SELinux is Permissive

Mobile data / wifi traffic stats and usage (won't be fixed because it depends on kernel eBPF stuff)

FMRadio works partially (Cannot play over speaker, only over headphones) (Cannot record audio)

You tell me

Notes:

* Please don't report issues like "my device is lagging". we know android 12 was not made for a 2GB ram device with Quad Core CPU, but i will try to optimize it as maximum as possible.

* It is recommended to flash with latest twrp v3.7.0 as older versions might be unstable with android 12.

So far works great, idk if mobile data works. It does say LTE on my sim card but I don't really know if mobile data is working since I don't have a plan on that sim card. There is a button for NFC for me, no idea if NFC works either since I don't have another phone for NFC. Actually runs pretty smooth for a quad-core 2GB of ram phone. Only issue ive seen is theres no charging animation when powered off which means it will just be stuck on the charging symbol from the firmware itself.View attachment 5758029

With all of that tho, pretty happy and it looks pretty stable.

How can we get GApps for this? When I flash nikgapps or the gapps zip recommended from the LineageOS website the gapps just crash for me:/

Update: The google services themselves work, just the google app was broken. I uninstalled it (Since it was a system app root is needed) and also installed Original Play Store latest version via Lucky Patcher to get all google services to work. With some tinkering from my side (what I just explained), google services work perfectly fine now. I think I wanna write a full LineageOS installation guide here for this soon because what I exactly had to do was poorly documented and required quite a bit of guessing work and "Do I need to use/install thing for my usecase?" from my side, which also made me scared I could brick my device since I was unsure what was and wasn't needed. Thankfully I managed to research and understand everything correctly.

My installation troubles aside, this ROM is absolutely freaking amazing, it looks and feels amazing to use Android 12 on such a weak and old device and for an old device, it works surprisingly well! Amazing job!

Sorry I don't speak spanish (still learning it as a filipino) gotta translate what you said. Are you sure you did ARM? and not ARM64. and are you sure you installed it after you installed the custom rom. Maybe you are missing some rmm disabler thing I dont remember but you might be forgetting to install those if you were coming from the stock firmware.

download this: https://github.com/BiTGApps/BiTGApp...load/v1.9/BiTGApps-arm-12.1.0-v1.9_signed.zip

Copy the zip file to your phone's sd card via USB cable from the computer.

go to TWRP and click install, find the zip file, tap it and flash. Wait until it finishes and then you can click reboot system. Make sure to not install the TWRP app. You should now get the play store and everything. The developer doesn't put links for gapps or whatever so you have to find it yourself. Gave you a link that should work.
