Well, I did it again. Though the aosp mods was short lived,it worked fine. Ended up breaking my phone again last night. Now I'm on a locked Verizon 7 pro. This is,to be exact, number 8. Almost went to s23U but it has crap service imo. The wife's S23U can't connect anywhere. But, me being me and have everything google went and got another one. Love this phone. So now I will sit patiently, waiting for the day a bootloader unlock happens for Verizon. After they sim unlock me, I have some things I will tinker with.

This time I finally got insurance. I usually buy the phone out and don't buy insurance. The last one was a TMobile 7 pro,so, the rest is history.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
A bootloader unlock will (most likely) never happen on a Verizon variant. I would actually bet good money on it. It has been sought after for 7 years (since the original Pixel [1]), with a 5 figure bounty, and it still hasn't been achieved.

IIRC, back even at the Pixel 2 (XL, taimen), it seems that most developers who might be interested in such a thing simply just buy their devices as an unlocked non-carrier variant (most likely from Google Store) than take the time and effort to attempt to "hack" a Verizon variant locked bootloader.

I am curious how Google denied your replacement request; maybe they stop at 7 replacements. It's curious since it's supposedly has at least a 1-year warranty; but I guess it depends on how one disables/breaks/bricks the device....
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] HipKat:
How the hell does someone break a phone SEVEN times??? That's what I want to know
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] sawdoctor:
I'm curious how aosp mods broke it? Never heard that before, surely you can still get into fastboot and go back 💯 stock?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] HipKat:
Sounds like he needs to do a lot more reading before he tries to do anything with his phone. Just the Verizon comment alone is enough to think that he is very inexperienced but, when he says breaking, I’m picturing screens being broken or the phone being physically damaged and the thing hasn’t even been out for a year yet
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] schmeggy929:
This person is full of donkey dust. AOSP Mods did not break his phone. I agree he seems to inexperienced or just doesn't pay attention to the correct procedures. 7 phones in a year! Glad he now on a Verizon model, and can't "tinker" with it.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
I'm fairly certain it was simply wording and sequence of events; not causation.

I think he was saying AOSP mod worked fine in the short time before time #7 and #8.

However he is breaking it, 8 times is excessive...I did a rough count last time I looked at this thread...that's more or less 1 broken Pixel 7 Pro PER MONTH (on average) -- considering the phone was released in October! Seriously, my sentiments with @andy242, what is he doing to break it so frequently?!?! Am also interested if after 7 broken phones, if he was forced to get Verizon because Google wouldn't honor replacing them anymore...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] avid_droid:
First off, who the hell said AOSP mods broke my phone? I didn't state that. Aosp had nothing to do with my phone breaking. I broke it in half. Breaking the phone 7 times puts a big dent in your pocket. I got angry with someone on the other line and slammed my phone. Then snapped in half. (Yes I have anger issues).

Google wasn't the supplier of my phone. It was A TMobile variant and no insurance. I completely pay for my devices so it's a loss for me all the time. I'm in Alaska now and no T-Mobile so I'm with Verizon now. I needed a phone immediately so I got another from Verizon. Obviously I read about the bootloader being and staying locked. Hell I still have a Pixel XL unlocked and rooted from Verizon.

Before anyone starts with anything else, I suggest reading,cause the course of the conversation went way off track
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] avid_droid:
Simple. Have extreme anger issues like me.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] avid_droid:
Hahaha. Didn't reach out to google. I agree that my phone breaking techniques is super excessive. I've decided on how to save my phone from anything. While annoyed on the phone, I'll keep my phone at a distance and use my buds pro. It's cheaper to slam am earbud than a phone haha
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] sawdoctor:
If you read your post it's easy to understand why we thought you were blaming aosp mods. Unfortunately that's the problem with text everyone reads it slightly differently. But thanks for coming back to clarify, sorry if I caused any offence none whatsoever was intended
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] avid_droid:
It's all good brother. Yep how we all perceive things varies. I always read things in a demanding way haha. When I see,"come home," I normally read that in a hostile way haha
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
I'm impressed (moreover on your penchant for taking your anger out on your phone) that you were able to get T-Mobile to unlock your bootloader 7 times!

There are numerous threads and instances on this forum speaking on T-Mobile giving a real hard time unlocking the SIM/bootloader and even blacklisting/marking an account for requesting it too much (Even after the required however many days after purchase and paying off the phone fully)...! And with yours and your 7 times.....

It's the only reason why I assumed you had a Google Store/non-carrier variant; getting it unlocked is much more difficult than receiving it already unlocked; times 7.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Angeloras:
After disabling it there's still a blurred shadow on my screen where it was before. So my argument is - it's completely useless (because I know how to control my phone) and it caused a burn-in.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] schmeggy929:
I highly doubt it caused a burn in.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Angeloras:
I can try to take a photo of it if you are interested, but it's definitely there.

Status bar is also burned in, but because it's always covered with icons it doesn't bother me that much.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] avid_droid:
I wish TMobile unlocked me 7 times. That's the only 7 pro they unlocked, this last one before my Verizon. In all honesty, I only had AdAway, Monet themes and Revanced magisk installed. Root really doesn't seem worth it. I'm hardly ever on my phone anymore so, now it wouldnt matter.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CJSnet:
Basically I want to modify the APK to AirMessage (an iMessage client for Android) so it works on Android version 4+ instead of 6+. I'm reverting to a basic Android LG Wine Smart H486 flip phone (beautiful thing) for a video on my retro tech YouTube channel, but also for life enjoyment 🙂 And this would allow me to get my normal iPhone texts when out and about on the old Android.

It has proven impossible to root the phone. The few techniques out there do not work or lead to broken links.

Apparently telling an APK to work on a different version is just modding one file, but it has to be decompiled first, then Google signed after. I can send you the AirMessage latest APK on request.

Anyone up to the challenge? 🙏

Rooting:

If you have either:

1. Unlocked bootloader AND fastboot mode

OR

2. Unlocked bootloader AND device trees

You can make it work. Note, you risk bricking your device. If you can enter fastboot mode, report back.

Nvm, there is a much simpler method to get up and running. The app is foss so you can just fork, modify and compile. https://f-droid.org/en/packages/me.tagavari.airmessage/

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoundDrill:
Rooting might be easier, on the other hand. Enter fastboot mode and report back.
[General Questions and Answers] CJSnet:
I have exhausted every root method that might work for the LG486 and nothing works properly. The most I can get is super user appearing in the app list but not properly installed. It wasn’t a very common phone so it’s understandable that there is no working route.

My end goal is to edit edit build.prop, so that android 4.4.2 appears to apps to be android 6.0. I need to install a certain app on the phone.

All the options found via Google for root either do not work or lead to broken file links. I have also tried Universal options like Kingo Root and Androot but they don't work at all.

Is there any universal root that I could try which is supposed to work with any phone?

Or is anybody able to help me route this phone? I’m happy to pay for assistance. Thanks.

I have just got a Orbit 2 as a replacement to my Trinty,

Also is there a link to the standard HTC Software.. my device is unlocked but comes with all the silly O2 crap...

Thanks in advance

You cannot use Vista mail client for sync with the pda, unfortunately. You can use MS outlook 2003+.

I don't think you can load the original HTC rom with your device, i mean straight from the htc website. You need to follow the instructions here.
[Fire TV General] RiCkLaR:
Noticed that the set DNS ip's were being Bypassed on my FireHD tablets while running Rethink(DNS), a great DNS+Firewall app @ rethinkdns.com for more info if you don't already know about it; anyways, my router points towards two Adguard DNS ip's and somehow the Android System or FireOS itself was still trying to use a third DNS <net.dns3=8.8.8.8>.

So, to stop some of this extra chatter, I've since routed the third DNS to localhost on two different FireHD tablets and my 2nd Gen. FireTV Cube without any adverse effects.

ADB shell:

settings put global default_dns_server "127.0.0.1"
reboot

*note: need to reboot for it to wipe out the default third dns.

Question, is there any reason not to do this? Let me know.
[Fire TV General] Finnzz:
What firmware is your FireTV on? Any idea how long it's been using the 3rd DNS?

I wonder if being able to fall back to a 3rd DNS might be one way for Amazon to bypass DNS-based OTA blocks.
[Fire TV General] RiCkLaR:
My Cube2 is on FireOS 7.6.3.3 (PS7633/3445).

I think it has been like this forever. I can't remember where, but in one forum it was mention that Android would try to bypass the set DNS, since that time I have used that ADB command above to point to Cloudflare or Adguard, but recently had the idea that I should just null out the query by sending it the localhost 127.0.0.1 instead.

I'm thinking that the usage of the third DNS is just for a "Hello, I'm Here" type of ping query that Google or Amazon added to Android, some type of tracking fallback, or Amazon Alexa's ability to create a third network for Echo/Ring bullsh*t subnet communications.

If you have a FireHD tablet with Google Play Store, install the app SetEdit_SettingsDatabaseEditor, it can quickly query Android Properties and "net.dns1" && "net.dns2" will be your router's default DNS servers and "net.dns3" will be Google's 8.8.8.8 DNS.
[Fire TV General] Finnzz:
Ok, if it's been using that DNS for a long time it may not be anything to worry about.

I always worry about Amazon sneaking in a Trojan and then not activating it for an update or more.

I'm just waiting them to do something about DNS based OTA blocking.

I wanted to buy this stereo bluetooth handsfree, but I read that it will not work as it should on the X1.

Can I find a good music player which supports volume, track name display and forward/back commands from the HF? Or can we somehow add a better bluetooth driver for X1 / WM6 to support all the profiles?

Does the HF's screen at least show the contact name when someone is calling?

If you want track name display (like me) you better wait for a new one. Or email SE about one that does on the X1

Everything except track display works fine with X1+DS980.
[XPERIA X1 General] darthmelk:
If all works but the track names, I think I can live with it.

Why wait for another HF? I think the problem is with the X1 not supporting all the profiles. I don't see how a new HF will be able to show track names of X1 is stupid and doesn't know how to send that data.

Does ANY Windows Mobile phone manage to send track names to a bluetooth HF?

[Android Head-Units] BigBaymax:
Hi Team,

I am installing the CC3 2K into my 2018 AYH30 Toyota Vellfire (same as Alphard), and I cannot get the factory 360 or reversing camera working. I purchased the T'eyes H30 Alphard Cable and Canbus kit, however, none of the supplied wiring kits is a direct fit. I have managed to get most of the system working using the circled loom; however, I don't have any connectors for the circled connector. The smaller box is labelled with a CVBS out, which I have connected to the CVBS in on head unit, but I am unsure which square connector the blue plug is meant to connect to in the Alphard loom. I also didn't receive the two RCA connectors in the last picture, and not sure if I need them to complete.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as not having the reverse or 360 cameras working on this bus makes parking difficult.
[Android Head-Units] AndyZ1234:
Hi BigBaymax,

Just saw your post - I also had issue with installing a CC3 onto my 2018 vellfire. I eventually gave up. I thought i'll share my very limited experience on this.

1. Did you get the 360 version of CC3? (coz i didn't - and I blame the confusing ordering process)

2. That massive plug is for earlier versions of the car (H10/H20). I didn't have to plug it in the get the reverse camera working

The issue i faced was that I could not get any audio coming through and Teyes support wasn't too helpful. But i did manage to get the reverse camera working.

Do you have a picture of how you wire everything up?
