[G1 Android Development] SGTDavePwnage:
T-mobile have just called me and have advised that we should expect a statement about the issue by the end of the week. The issue is now with board members apparently

Maybee they are actuclly starting to understand??
[G1 Android Development] I7oobie:
You should have them email. At least that way it leaves a paper trail.
[G1 Android Development] dirr:
That's very interesting that T-Mobile is even considering the idea of allowing root access, to the point where it would be an executive decision by the board members. Do you have any other information on this aside from your first post? Can anyone else confirm this?
[G1 Android Development] qtronix:
i phoned tmobile uk today and asked why i couldnt get root on my tc5-rc8.

and i had a long talk with the guy and he said he had a email about this issue

and went throught a few things with me on my phone. and then he said he would phone me back tomorrow with someone that new more about the g1 then the tec support staff. and he would be able to give me more answers about it.

qtronix
[G1 Android Development] vr24:
Well written, although I would have DEFINITELY left out the part about tethering the phone.
[G1 Android Development] SGTDavePwnage:
I did think about that, but then i reconcidered as we already have tetherbot which works without root.

Suppose we will just have to see if anything comes of it
[G1 Android Development] haitiankid4lyf:
you can always call t-mobile and say that after you updated the phone it is now:

constantly feezing, apps are running slow, and at times you can not connect to internet.

also tell them that you tried a factory reset and it did not help (make up a story that you have friend that has a lot of app and his phone runs faster than you phone with no apps installed)

if you have insurance they will send you one for free, you just have to return your old phone,

i believe they are still sending out rc29 for replacements as of now.

friend and cousin tried it and it worked.

might be worth a shot
[G1 Android Development] tonym001:
Just got this in my inbox:

"Thank you for letting us know of your concerns with the 'open source' and 'root access' on your G1 mobile phone. We really do appreciate your comments about this.

We're aware that there are concerns in relation to this and our leadership teams in the UK and the USA are currently reviewing your comments and our position. We plan to provide you and other customers with similar concerns, with a response early next week, which should answer your concerns. I'll be in touch with you then.

Your comments are extremely valuable to us Mr * and I'm grateful for your patience while we look into this. I'd like to thank you personally for your co-operation.

In the mean time I hope you enjoy your weekend.

Kind regards

Of course, their answer could be anything from "f*ck off" to "yes, we'd love to embrace the openness of android with both arms, here everyone, have root!" so we'll all have to keep our fingers crossed 'til monday.
[G1 Android Development] Falcon4ever:
Well I just hope they release an update with options that allow us to turn off all background services (myfaves) and unwanted datatraffic (or actuall prevent overriding options when roaming).
[G1 Android Development] jacknmary:
How did that dead horse like the beating?
[G1 Android Development] rynosaur:
Perhaps a dead horse. Could it be that Tmo has now figured out that with root access, it won't take long for people like the coders at XDA to fully jailbreak the device to the point that voIP will be easy for any user to obtain? Are they just trying to protect their ability to profit off of voice traffic?
[G1 Android Development] sino8r:
Hummm... I think ALL wireless providers are threatened by VOIP but the main reason root access was blocked was due to bad press mainly by tons of articles stating that there is a huge security risk and a flaw was found with Android which could let remote users attack someone's device...blah blah blah and so forth. That pretty much scared T-Mobile and Google which hated to have bad press so close to the G1 just being released and were forced to correct this issue. The only problem with that protection came with closing alot of freedom for the G1 and may happen to alot of more Android-based devices in the future, I'm afraid... Maybe Google will realize that there are other ways to protect mobile hijacking (which is extremely rare anyways) by creating some type of built-in firewall software instead?
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
Root is not necessary to build a voip app. Fact is, G1 launched with a skype-compatible voip app called iSkoot. Look it up.
[G1 Android Development] eosrider:
i wont quote the entire email because its big. but you sir are very well spoken, great email!
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
Long emails don't get read. Especially ones to nebulous "director teams". Probably an alias for /dev/null. Next time maybe try including a tldr section?
[G1 Android Development] SGTDavePwnage:
Well, because of our emails they are making an announcement on monday.

Yeah, its most likley going to be get lost but you never know :)
[G1 Android Development] richbayliss:
Its Monday... lets hope! :)
[G1 Android Development] MacFloid:
Just a short question: Who is pushing these updates out?

t-mobile, google or htc?
[G1 Android Development] richbayliss:
I belive it is that tmobile would make/authorize a build, which is then put onto the google servers.

Google host the builds which are then "pushed" onto our phones.
[G1 Android Development] Seanambers:
So i guess you havent heard anything from them today SGTDavePwnage?
[G1 Android Development] richbayliss:
Im guessing still nothing then?
[G1 Android Development] hetaldp:
iSkoot is not Pure VoIP Application it just route call from a tall free local numbers
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
Ah you are right, the connection from G1 to the iSkoot server is still over voice. :( I'm pretty sure a full blown voip application/client can be implemented without root though.

Any update on the announcement, SGTDavePwnage?
[G1 Android Development] coolbho3000:
I think we should do several corporate e-mail bombs (e-mail several top executives at once). It's still possible. If the T-Mobile G1 was open then people would be inclined to buy that instead of the ADP1 (and go on their two year contract).

But maybe they have a deal with Google specifically not to do this so the ADP1 will sell. :confused:
[G1 Android Development] jcostantino:
BOILERPLATE ALERT!

To sum up the email. "We appreciate you buying a G1. Now, go buy a Dev Phone and stop bugging us!"
[G1 Android Development] Seanambers:
Not much to say i guess thats what they want the dumb f.kers.
[G1 Android Development] :
not dumb, there is a valid reason that the root bug was fixed. that reason being, 90% of the people that buy the G1 from T-Mobile and use with T-Mobile services are not like us, not interested or knowledgeable about modding their phones and it could lead to catastrophic damage from the inexperienced modder/hacker. if these everyday people return these phones for warranty repairs and they are bricked then T-mobile eats the cost to replace them, might i add at a substantially higher price than the out of warranty fee that these customers may be charged. it makes business sense for T-Mobile/google to fix this, but there should also be a middle ground, some understanding between the dev community and t-mobile/google to allow the other 10% of us to ask for an update with root access. so to sum it up, not dumb f.kers Business Conscious
[G1 Android Development] tonym001:
This is entirely correct. I have however, asked them to confirm that they're happy for the dev phone to be used on their network, and if so, would they consider providing a method to enable root, once the handset is paid for (ie, it's been bought off contract, or the contract is was provided on has expired) on the proviso that they're not expected to replace/support the handset.
[G1 Android Development] :
exactly! t-mobile lets you buy the g1 without a contract for full cost, but you also get it unlocked. i wish that there was a way to get root on a locked phone though.......or sign a waiver of warranty... ... hmmm.....maybe we need to write a proposal to tmo...
[G1 Android Development] tonym001:
I think that could be worth a shot. I'll see what the response is to my similar request here in the uk. Could be worth a mass email though :D
[G1 Android Development] :
let me know what you hear from the UK tmo, I will try to get something together as well for the US tmo people. maybe we can collaborate on a proposal....
[General Questions and Answers] defik665:
Hi,

I'm looking for lightweight and intuitive OS for my old Win tablet, so kids still can use it for YT, Spotify and simple games.

I spent some time on testing different android-based systems (Bliss, Prime, Android x86, Phoenix) but unfortunately they do not work completely well - issues with touchscreen, WiFi, BT, sound. Android x86 was best only with sound issues (connectivity was OK).

Please advise which android or linux based system (version/build) with gapps support can work out of the box with this tablet: Lenovo ThinkPad 10 (2nd gen) - 20E30037PB.

If none then which one will be the easiest to configure with those mobile components?

CPU: Intel Atom z3795 (4 cores, 1.59 GHz - 2.39GHz)

GPU: Intel HD 405 (I think)

RAM: 4GB

WLAN: ac/a/b/g/n

Touch screen: 1920x1200 LED IPS

Ports: USB 3.0, HDMI, SSD

Others: fingerprint sensor and front/back camera (I don't care about those - can be not working)
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
If tablet runs Windows 10 and/or Windows 11 you can benefit from Microsoft's

Windows-Subsystem für Android™️​

So, upgrade Windows OS, if possible.
[General Questions and Answers] defik665:
Generally yes, but not for requirements I've got from kids: android games + YT for kids, Spotify for kids (those aps are only available for Android) + it's much faster on linux. Also I think W11 will consume more resources out of the box and I have to tweak it a lot to adjust UI and disable all services what are not needed for those basic tasks. I've tried android emulator on W10, but it's too slow.
[General Questions and Answers] ignaycyhry:
I think you should look into ChromeOS Flex, since it is based on Linux and can run android apps just fine
[General Questions and Answers] defik665:
OK, I've tested tablet with W11 and actually is much faster than on tweaked W10! Also I was able to install WSFA from terminal but could not start it, since I have only 4GB RAM (8GB is min).

Not sure if still have energy to try ChromeOS - tried different Linux based OS and there was a problem with drivers. I really like W11 on tablet, so maybe will keep it this way and try again Bluestacks on tweaked 11.
[General Questions and Answers] ignaycyhry:
ChromeOS Flex is really not that hard, look into it. It's built for weak laptops and with touchscreen in mind, and with support of android apps
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Don't waste your time with this.

These are Bluestacks 5 system requitrements ( excerpt )

OS: Windows 11 Pro 22H2

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Ian:
Has anybody looked into a workarround to enable the Sky Go apk to work on Amazon Fire TV Devices?

The app can be installed on Amazon Tablets and other Tablets/Phones and work fine however when it comes to Amazon TV devices it gives an error.

I assume this is due to some sort of Licencing issue or DRM - but it would be nice for those who have it to still use it.

Which brings me arround to the first question, has anybody looked into tweaking the Amazon Fire TV to allow the app to work?

Edit: It is worth noting the German version has been patched before <https://xdaforums.com/t/app-no-root-skygo-for-fire-tv.3776919/> but Im specifically talking the UK version.

[Moto G Play (2021)] leond:
I Bought Motorola G Pure XT2163-4 on Amazon as unlocked. But the phone came as US Cellular. The Motorola site says the phone is not eligible for bootloader unlock. I installed mtkclient and UsbDk but can't figure out how to enter BROM mode. Pressing both volume buttons turns the phone on. Vol - and PWR goes into fastboot boot. What else can I try?
[Moto G Play (2021)] htc-8925:

I just want to start off by saying I have searched this site and google for all I'm worth and tried anything and everything to no avail.

I installed radio 3.42.50 and the new dcd rom (3.3.4) as well as the alltel carrier cab. I updated my prl. The phone, texting, gps, and wifi operate flawlessly but I cannot connect usind EVDO. Its set to connect to #777 username: 701770xxxx@alltel.com, password: alltel, and domain: blank. I love this rom. I installed it mostly for the performance boost and gps. I really dont want to have to go back to the crap OEM alltel rom but I need my data connection. Anyone have any ideas?

UPDATE:

I'm retarded I forgot to update my MDN number after I installed dcd. Everything works flawlessly now.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] bertoch:
I believe the username is just your phone number with no password or domain.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] BillThyCat:
Not sure about Altel, but USCC uses 2 different logins and passwords, one for 1X and one for EVDO. The EVDO one is labeled HDR something. And in our case it's the ESN@uscc.net and ESN is the password, both in HEX not DEC.

Double check you have the correct info in both of your logins and if you do, try changing the HDR one to your HEXESN@ (whatever domain your other is using) and HEXESN as the password.

Which lights switch off? The background illumination of the head unit buttons, of your car or neighbor's doghouse?

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] carlstadtcarl:
Hi to all,

I bought Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G 12GB/256GB (Exynos 2200) one week ago and noticed abnormal battery drainage for a new device.

I read on the Samsung official page battery can be consumed a little faster right after purchase and I should wait for all the background operations and syncing to complete.

But six days after I started to use my new device, the battery cannot even last until the evening. Today at 08:30 AM I had 100 % of the battery, at 5:30 PM it went all down to 0 % with light to moderate usage. Literally.

In battery settings, it says the full charge will last about 11h 55 min which is a ridiculously small estimation for a flagship mobile phone.

I installed all kinds of different apps to check battery capacity and health and didn't notice any deviations.

So my question is if this is normal for the first week of usage or something is very wrong with the battery or sofware?

Thanks for your help.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] neilth:
Go into the Samsung Members app on the phone and on the lower right you can select Support, run diagnostics for the phone’s battery and contact Samsung tech support. This should be your first steps trying to get Samsung involved with getting your battery problem resolved.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] carlstadtcarl:
I have submitted this issue through the Samsung Members app. Diagnostics for the phone's battery also says that the battery is good among the 2-3 battery health apps I have installed.

I think the problem is not so much hardware as the software which drains this battery abnormally.

I used Smart Switch to transfer all my apps and other data to my new phone before first use. As I read here and on other forums/Reddit this could be the problem. I did a factory reset yesterday and will see how the battery will perform next few days, only transferred contacts and SMS messages (today battery's performance is still very poor). My notifications didn't work for some apps transferred through Smart Switch, but now they do work.

This thread describes exactly my problem:

https://www.reddit.com/r/S22Ultra/comments/t9lw4d

If anyone has some other ideas about why this is happening, I would be very grateful to hear them.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Hnktc:
I have bought S22 ultra used 1 week ago and mada backup from S21 with smart switch. Abnormal drain usage here too.. i have set ALWAYS ON "on touch" and seems it stopped a little battery drain..

Anyway, how do you think level volume is? It seems lower (sound and vibration) comparated to S21..
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] carlstadtcarl:
This just confirms my theory this is a software rather than a hardware issue.

I am not keen to turn off features why I bought the device in the first place so the battery does not drain until 5:30 PM. :D

Also, I did not mention that I get battery overheating occasionally while I am not running any demanding apps (mostly I use a web browser, social media apps, etc.).

BTW, I got a response from a Samsung Member app and it is quite generic and not really of any help as expected.

I think level volume is quite satisfying compared to my previous device, Huawei P30 Pro.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Hnktc:
On my S22, always on "always active" drains battery very fast.. now it seems returned "normal".. like you, i think too it's a software issue and not hardware, but i haven't tested S22 after a cleare factory reset so i can't be sure about this
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Marcelocohenarg:
Hi, this isn't normal behavior. If diagnostic says that the battery itself is ok, then it must be a software issue. What application is reported as more battery consuming in the statistic? Have your try to run for a day the phone in safe mode to check if this changes?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Olesya13:
Hello. It's not normal, of course. Definitely a new battery should last longer. Maybe you got a defective phone. Rarely goes to the experts.
