[Magisk] zee3are0:
So, an OTA caused a loss of root (pixel 6 pro, unlocked). Tried to go into a hidden magisk and disable modules, but everything greyed out, unable to. Tried to uninstall the manager (I was using an old MagiskAlpha build), and thought it worked, though it must have left something behind. Updating wouldn't work - would give me a failure.

Flashed new factory image, installed new magisk manager, patched boot.img in new magisk manager, loaded boot.img, and I have root; adb shell su works, all my old apps that worked with root work, but no magisk manager recognizing that I have root - and therefore no modules - working. So, no charging management, safetynet is borked, etc. Have uninstalled/reinstalled mm numerous times. No luck. Tried loading it from adb, etc.

I've dug through adb shell pm list packages and can't find anything that looks like an old version of magisk at all anywhere anymore. I think I had three different versions on the phone. They are all gone. But no luck with a freshly installed manager. Still can't see root even though it's there. Any ideas?

Of note: I have a work profile and two users on the phone. However, I can't find anything even using --user for all three users. Only thing even close I see is com.lsposed.manager still installed. That shouldn't be a factor, but I can't think of anything at this point.
[Magisk] zee3are0:
TB checker, under "check root" gives pass for everything except SU binary, 2nd SU binary, root via native, and magisk specific.

Under Check xposed, I have fail for dual/work profile and xprivacyLua, and com.topjohnwu.magisk under PM Sundry APIs. Everything else is Pass.

I had never granted TB checker root before; Termux on the other hand works fine with su (as does adb shell), and Root Essentials shows root fine.

Magisk Manager was downloaded from topjohnwu's github, then I manually added the canary URL, and updated to canary. No luck.

Any other ideas?
[Magisk] zee3are0:
So, the /data/adb/magisk tipped me off. I pulled the hidden apk info from the magisk.db, and from there was able to (while rooted) manually delete all the references to the hidden apk string (just did a find /data/* | grep [hidden package name] ) and once they were all deleted, deleted everything from /data/adb - the magisk.db and everything - and then next time I went into magisk, it informed it was incorrectly configured, I pressed okay, it fixed itself, and full root in magisk was restored.

had to reinstall all modules, but that wasn't a very big price to pay. Safetynet fixed (google pay worked just fine at the store yesterday), xprivacylua, etc., all worked.

As of right now, other than a citi app *****ing that I'm possibly rooted (and then it still works fine anyway), haven't had any issues with leaving magisk unhidden, so not going to hide it again unless I need to. Wasn't worth the PITA to fix it if something like this happens again.

Hi xda community. ;)

I've got a problem, not so serious though, it just bothers me a bit. On my way to school, a connect to different network types HSDPA -> 3G -> GPRS -> EDGE (Edge at home) and when i come back home, the edge icon is messed up, like you convert a nice jpg image to 2 colored gif. It looks more like a chess board. It comes back to normal when I restart the system. Yea, I know it's not a big deal but still why does it happen?
[Touch HD General] Dreamerdome:
I have it when i connect to bluetooth, very strange

Icon messed up
[Google Pixel 6] raygncio:
I updated my Pixel 6 to Android 13. I was aware that you can use the phone while it's updating in the background. So, in the process, I customized some settings. However, when I tried to go back by showing all running background apps (swiping up), the System Update Settings app was gone and a "Google Confidential" app was running in the background. Tried tapping it but nothing showed up. So, I went through the settings > system update again, and found out that it was still "updating and installing". When I tried to tap the "Google confidential app" while the System update tab was now present in my recent apps navigation (swipe up), it just redirected me to the System update tab "installing updates".

Any chances that the update can get corrupted? Are there ways to verify integrity of files/updates?

UPDATE: Installed Android 13 and June update successfully. Phone asked me to restart per update. It would say if something's wrong with update, wouldn't it? Also, is the Google Confidential background app normal (it looked like a gear icon with a G and a red "confidential" word on top of it)? It showed up only during the system updates. I can't seem to find any reference/mention of it online.

Thank you in advance.
[Google Pixel 6] ethical_haquer:
I can't say for sure, but that doesn't sound right. Perhaps it really is a Google app, but usually they cover up their spyware by packaging it into innocent looking apps with cute colors. I can't find anything online either.
[Google Pixel 6] raygncio:
I'll try to screenshot it when a system update comes up. Actually, when I tapped it while the System update tab was present in my recent apps navigation (swipe up), it just redirected me to the System update tab "installing updates".

Edit: I actually found it again after I restored my contacts. See photos below
[Google Pixel 6] ethical_haquer:
I don't think that's authentic. Just by looking at the font used on "Confidential". But than again, it could be what Google really looks like. Not quite as innocent looking as these :ROFLMAO::
[Google Pixel 6] elliana12:
It's unlikely that the update itself got corrupted, as your Pixel 6 successfully installed Android 13 and the June update. If there were any issues with the update, your phone would typically notify you or display an error message.

As for the "Google Confidential" app appearing during the system update process, it's not a standard feature or app that I'm familiar with. It's possible that it was a temporary placeholder or a bug in the user interface during the update process. Since you can't find any references or mentions of it online, it may have been a unique occurrence on your device.

To verify the integrity of files and updates on your Pixel 6, you can perform a few checks:

Reboot your device: After the update is complete, restart your phone to ensure all the new system files are properly loaded.

Check for system update status: Go to Settings > System > System update and confirm that there are no pending updates or error messages. If everything looks normal, it indicates that the update was successful.

Test system functionality: After the update, use your device as you normally would and pay attention to any unusual behavior. If you encounter any significant issues or errors, it's recommended to contact Google support or visit an authorized service center for assistance.

Overall, since your update was successful and you haven't experienced any noticeable problems apart from the "Google Confidential" app during the update process, it's unlikely that there is a major issue. However, if you continue to encounter unusual behavior or have concerns, it's best to reach out to Google support or the appropriate channels for further assistance specific to your Pixel device.
[Google Pixel 6] Privacydroid:
Hmm the google confidential thing looks a bit off.

I would try to find the full package name and install path to atleast get an idea of what it is or if it's legit?

Is there any way to clear all recent apps on lock? I've dug thru the settings and can't find anything that would do this. Sorry if this is already posted; search didn't turn up anything.
[Google Pixel 6] allday5850:
Oh I'm sure there are ways. Im not at all proficient with Tasker but I'm almost positive this can be done with it. Even without root I think Tasker is sufficient.

There is also a root app that I think will get the job done it's Xposed Edge Pro. You can set it to complete actions or carry out tasks based on predefined or custom variables. It's been awhile but I think it can be done

[XPERIA X1 General] nurps:
The X1 always deletes the mails saved on the device if they arent stored on the server anymore after checking for new mails. Is there a way to keep mails that are no longer on the pop3 server?
[XPERIA X1 General] outie:
If you are using POP3, the emails you downloaded to your device should stay there regardless of removal on the POP3 server. The only reason that would explain this behavior is that you are using IMAP and not POP3.
[XPERIA X1 General] nurps:
I'm using pop3 and the mails disappear.
[XPERIA X1 General] Leddy:
That's not how POP3 works. You are describing IMAP server behaviour.
[XPERIA X1 General] guap:
in options you have to select "don't delete mail from server" or "keep mail on server" I don't remember exactly but there in an option to do it, look around in advanced account settings
[XPERIA X1 General] nurps:
Well doenst really matter that its not supposed to work this way.

How do i fix it? Obvioulsy a bug, is it working with your phone?
[XPERIA X1 General] nurps:
Yes i have that option selected...the X1 is not deleting it from the server...its deleting it from the X1, after the mail is deleted from the server by my PC, on the next "send / reveicve" operation.
[XPERIA X1 General] guap:
so check "don't delete message if deleted form server"... it's in advanced options too
[XPERIA X1 General] nurps:
Where would that option be? On the same page as the "dont delete from server option"? If yes i dont have that. (german version of windows mobile and Xperia) Maybe there is a direct registry setting if i cant get it through the options?
[XPERIA X1 General] at45:
The problem you're having is most likely to do with retention. Eg "delete messages after 7 days". Use POP3 but also check your retention settings.
[XPERIA X1 General] nurps:
And where would i find this setting? I only find the option for downloaing Mails from today, 3 - 30 days old or all. But this hast nohting to do with deleting them once theyre gone on the pop3 server.

And thoose messeages dont vanish on their own...they get deleted after i check for new mails (its set up for manually doing that) and the experia notes that the mails is not on the pop3 server anymore.

So a "don't delete message if deleted form server" would be the right thing..just that i dont have that in my settings.
[XPERIA X1 General] outie:
If the email is deleted/retrieved from the server by YOUR PC, the email is gone by the time you check for new email on your PHONE.

What you need to do is select the option to "KEEP MAIL ON SERVER" in your PC email program.

Either way, I don't think it's a good practice to POP your email from 2 different places (PC and phone in your case).
[XPERIA X1 General] nurps:
Of course its gone, but i dont download the mail AFTER its deleted by the PC...its allready on the X1 and it deletes it AFTERWARDS.

In fact my PC is set up to leave Mails in POP3 for 3 days..then they get deleted...and the X1 is set to dont delete any mails at all. But it does delete allready downloaded mails as soons as it finds out theyre not on the pop3 server anymore.

So back to the solution of this problem please?
[XPERIA X1 General] loggy:
The only way I found to keep messages on the phone is to delete them from inbox to the deleted items folder, they stay there till you delete them properly.

Im on btinternet and I dont like the idea of messages staying on the server so havnt enabled it.

What is the point of keeping messages on the server, can they be downloaded again?

I cant find an advanced explanation of how the phone interacts with the mail services so I just keep mail I need in the deleted folder in the phone, I even created a new folder in the phone called store to put emails in for keeps but they dissapeared from there as well !!

If you have important information in a mail, copy and paste the text to word or notepad just to be safe.
[XPERIA X1 General] nurps:
According to guap there should be a "don't delete message if deleted from server"-option but i cant find it. I cant believe that windows mobile mail software would be more stupid that a simple java email client i used the last to years before the experia.
[XPERIA X1 General] guap:
sorry for delay :)

go in your inbox -> menu ->tools -> options -> message -> warn when delete message from list

this way you can say "no" and keep your message. Quite annoyng but it worked for me on my touch. Now I don't care about it

Anyway, if you are interested in a serious client I suggest to swap to something better then pocket outlook ;)
[XPERIA X1 General] nurps:
I have this checked...but always clicking yes on every mail check to keep my mails from getting deleted would be to annyoing even if it would work.

So what serious alternatives are there? And are they fully integrated into the OS?
[XPERIA X1 General] artesea:
nurps, have you doubled checked the settings to ensure you aren't using IMAP. The wizard will try to use IMAP by default, which by the sounds of things is exactly whats going on.
[XPERIA X1 General] nurps:
Its pop3. 100% sure.
[XPERIA X1 General] loggy:
I have set up the same account with pop3 and imap, the phone still behaves the same, deleting messages that have been downloaded to and deleted from pc.

I think this is stupid behavior. There should be an option to keep some email on the phone and not on the pc.

Edit; Put it this way I have 2 pcs with outlook express on, I can check mail with each one and they download mail individually but they dont clear the other pc of mail do they ! (mmm.. ? maybe thats wrong eh ..).

I like to choose what to delete from a particular machine and what to keep on a machine.

[Google Pixel 7] aadnan181:
I've been noticing huge battery drain on my Pixel 7 after the March update. No particular apps are draining the battery, phone idle alone does it.

I thought after the June update, it will make the battery backup better but I think it made it even worse. Last night I charged my phone to 100% and slept by turning off WiFi and mobile data. I even kept my network type to 3G to avoid background activities from 4G. And waking up after 5-6 hrs of sleep, I found my battery to be 89%. Screenshot is attached below. This is very disappointing. I bought this phone on February. It has not been a year and this is the performance I get from a flagship?

Clearly, this is not normal. Phone Idle draining 78%(of the 11% actual battery drain) of my phone's battery is crazy. I used to get 2 days of battery backup before that March update. And now I can hardly survive 16hrs. Please help me with a fix.

Notes:

Country: Bangladesh

I use dual SIM. 1 physical and 1 e-SIM.

[Google Pixel 7] blackhawk:
Factory reset, then be careful what you install.
[Google Pixel 7] Yeedatoy:
You didn't use anything on the device though. The phone is idling more than doing any other task. So of course 78% of that small amount of battery drain is going to be due to the idle because idling is what is doing 78% of the time. I really don't see any issue here. I mean you only lost 11% battery over 4 hours and that first 15% drains quicker because lithium ion battery drain isn't linear. That first 10% always goes faster than the rest of the device. If it really bothers you, I would suggest changing the doze parameters to wear it disables the sensors on the device until it's unlocked.
[Google Pixel 7] Yeedatoy:
Also, I just noticed that you have no mobile data on either SIM card. The phone is looking for a signal constantly and not getting it, that alone will drain battery, not to mention using dual sims has been known to affect battery life as well. Is the phone in airplane mode in that picture?
[Google Pixel 7] gerbilnut:
You aren't alone. I've been fighting the same issue with the battery drain since March. Up until the June update my excessive battery drain was showing as "Mobile network" but now it shows as "Phone idle". Strangely it drains the most when not in use. I've already done a factory reset and ended up with the exact same issue instantly.
[Google Pixel 7] O.J. Simpson:
It may be worth trying to disable the "adaptive connectivity" setting and see if that helps. I live in a weak 5g area and my phone was constantly switching between LTE and 5g causing signal drops and battery drain for me. I turned it off and it helped with both issues.

Settings, network & internet, scroll down to the bottom.
[Google Pixel 7] aadnan181:
Tried almost everything except this one. I noticed this option was enabled on my phone. Turned it off today. Let's see how it goes. Thanks for suggestion!
[Google Pixel 7] aadnan181:
Not in airplane mode. I turned off Data then why would it constantly look for signal?
[Google Pixel 7] Yeedatoy:
I guess I should have asked first, I wasn't sure if you turned data off or not, I guess that's what led to the airplane mode. What about in developer options? Is mobile data always active still set to true?
[Google Pixel 7] Yeedatoy:
Anyone with this issue my best suggestion would be use some kind of doze optimization mod. I know nap time is kind of outdated but some things still work correctly. I believe all of it does except for the GMS does magisk module. If you scroll all the way down to the bottom there's a setting that says wait for unlock. That keeps the phone in deep doze mode until you unlock the device, which also keeps the sensors turned off as well. Another option is diamond John's app Temefi. In the search box, type in doze, and you'll see a place where you can choose from several different Doze profiles. For this you need root, but if you're not rooted I would stick with nap time which just needs some ADB commands entered
[Google Pixel 7] Hitman478™:
i think it's a bug, i have no drain but look at the screenshot

"telefono inattivo" is phone idle, same percent but 1hr and more compared to yours, strange, indeed i've no drain

i always keep data, wifi and bluetooth on, since i work in a place where there's no 100% coverage of wifi, and bluetooth for smartwatch connection
[Google Pixel 7] mruno:
have you tried safe mode?
[Google Pixel 7] bobby janow:
That probably won't help. I don't usually jump on these bandwagons but I'm experiencing the same problems and all I did was do the June update with no changes in use or apps. This has been reported and we will need to wait for a fix.

Pixel Phone Batteries are Draining Too Fast Again

Last week, Google sent out the June update to remaining Pixel smartphones, albeit a tad behind schedule. Shortly thereafter and over the weekend, that’s when the complaints started to pile up. Users on both reddit and Google’s own support forum are reporting battery drain and... #Android #Google
