[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
No, there are only two variants for each generation model. The CEO of Hot Pepper verified this.

Try this: repeat all steps again, but this time, perform the factory data reset AFTER installing the ROM files, following Step 7. So, in Step 4, instead of using ADB to reboot to recovery, execute

adb reboot fastboot

I'm going to double check things on my own device. This is likely something simple that I have overlooked. I do appreciate you testing and reporting on your findings.
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
@Frogking I believe, at last I've figured out the issue. When debloating the original firmware, I removed all QLink apps and services preinstalled by the manufacturer. Little did I know, the "WeFi Offloading" service by QLink (the service that claims to automatically connect your device to free hotspots throughout the US) was tied to a process in SetupWizard.apk. So, upon initial setup of the OS, Setup Wizard will sometimes crash if the WeFi Offloading service isn't found, which explains why your device encountered issues during setup while my device -- the same model and variant as yours -- did not have issues.

To resolve the issue I am replacing SetupWizard.apk with a clean generic package that I've taken from a compatible GApps package. Once I get that in place and set the permissions to 0644 default, I'm quite confident this will fix things.
[Android General] eric112490:
Can you do one for the CF variant?
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
I plan to, but I do not presently have a working CF variant. If I can obtain one I will work on a similar ROM.

[Android General] DonnaLeigh:
Did you get your tablet to accept the ROM? Mine is doing the same thing you describe.
[Android General] Frogking:
I have not had much time to work on this tablet in the past few months as the recent sudden and unexpected death of my mother has taken most of my attention lately. I am still waiting on confirmation from the developer Viva La Android to give the all clear that the issue has been fixed before I will attempt to re-flash the tablet again.
[Android General] DonnaLeigh:
I followed your instructions to the letter and my tablet is now doing the same thing as Frogkings. It's bricked.
[Android General] DonnaLeigh:
I am so sorry about your mom. I lost mine in February. So I understand completely.

I've tried twice to flash the rom and it keeps doing the same thing. Now I don't know how to get back to the stock rom and firmware.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] rkrigsman:
I have an S7+, fully updated, etc with no issues until today.

I tried booting up my tablet and my PIN is not accepted.

No indication of any issues, just boom. No access.

I can see the top bar and see that the tablet is in airplane mode and maybe because of that, I cannot use SmartThings to unlock the screen.

When attached to my PC, I can get into the reset menu or whatever it's called but this doesn't help, as the PC doesn't recognize the tablet as I believe that the file transfer mode is set manually after the connection at the tablet.

Is there any way to do anything other than what I assume to be a factory reset from the reset menu?

Maybe turn off airplane mode through some trick or make my PC recognize the tablet?

I would rather not loose all of my accumulated data.

[FYT Android Head Units] AssaSpeed:
Hello guys,

I am desperate, I've been searching everywhere but I can't find good complete info for newbies regarding head units. I bought one of the few head units that would fit into my Ford Focus 2005 and I only wanted to use Android Auto. However, I would like to use it wirelessly. Is this possible? Maybe with a dongle? In that case, which dongle?

My unit came with a "Car Link 2.0" app which is the one I can use to simulate Android Auto. It works, but only sometimes, also, very few times it works wirelessly. I tis the version 2.21.12.11.0952. I thought that maybe I could udpate it since I've found that 2.22 and further versions exist, and those work much better than the one I have. However, I have been searching in this forum (The only source of info regarding this topic) and I've tried installing the .apks that appeared in this post without success, since after installing them, my phone doesn't connect anymore to the head unit and I have to reset the unit to factory settings.

I am also open to flash my head unit with some kind of OS or Software that allows me to use Android Auto. However, I have not been able to find anything related to how to do it with my head unit. The head unit is this one. I provide all the details below. If you could help me at least on where to start I would greatly appreaciate. Anyways, just updating the Car Link 2.0 app would be enough. If that's not possible I would like to flash the unit with some kind of OS or Software which is often used in these Head units and that will allow me to use AA.

Here the details on the unit. I couldn't find anything realted to it on the internet but I have to say it seems pretty similar to Junsun head units. Thank you guys!

this is fake version, you have android 8.1 and lowest-end hardware. better consider replacing your device with something better. it just can't work reliable by design, main purpose of UIS8141E devices is for you to have a stroke
[FYT Android Head Units] AssaSpeed:
I didn't know this. Anyways it should be enough for using Android Auto (It actually works when using the USB cable), but I would like to update the Car link 2.0 app (I couldn't by now) or install a ROM which allows me to use Android Auto on it.
[FYT Android Head Units] gordgelin:
crappy BT and WiFI are top concerns about these devices if we let alone its performance issues. they often just stop working at all, not reliable
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Gordgelin is completely right.

When you buy something cheap, you mostly get what you pay for.

Having said that: Some people buy units from 350~600 Euros and only use it for Android Auto (AA) or Carplay. To me that is not logigcal (to put it mildly) and I always tell them that when they only want Carplay or AA, they should buy a cheap unit.

These cheap units are indeed only good for use with Android Auto or Apple Carplay, but only with cable.

And like you already mention yourself: "It actually works when using the USB cable". Then use it like that.

If you drive for 1 hour, or even only 10 minutes, what is the problem of taking 5~10 seconds to connect it. You need that time anyway for the unit to completely "power up". And when arriving taking 2-3 seconds to disconnect it? USB-cable is ALWAYS more stable in every car, even the ones with builtin OEM units of 1200~2500 Euros, especially when driving through areas with lower density of towers or crossing country borders, (but I do not know where you live or travel).

And the cable has the additional benefit that it loads your phone (even though that is very slow and sometimes not even sufficient from stopping it from unloading, though much slower).

I drive quite some rental cars for my work and I always connect my phone via USB, even though WiFi is nowadays possible in most new cars (and the rentals are never older than 1½ years).

The fact that WiFi might be possible, doesn't mean it is the best option.

And install the lastest Carlink from this post.

On the A53 I probably would as I need to test an app more on Android 14 and sooner the better.

As always with Samsung updates, they happen when they happen.

I asked about this on a different social app, and I was told with the A53, it might not see the beta UI 6.0. I'm still hoping this is wrong, I keep checking for it but have not seen anything yet.

Android 14 is still in Beta at Google. That's good news, since Samsung is already 3 beta's in in One UI while Android itself is on Beta.

If the A14 is finished up in September, we will see a major rollout of OneUI 6 for devices from 2022 and 2023.

Worst case scenario i would say is Late October.

You'll need someone for India to fetch it, they have exclusivity.

I reckon all A536E CSCs should have no problem flashing it, we'll just need to know the target source firmware. Most probably will be September build A536EXXS7CWI3 to A536EXXU7ZWIA.

Edit - I just checked again since posting this and A14 is now showing for the A536U1 (not every single CSC as of yet and the build date is earlier this month despite only just showing up on samfw): https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-A536U1

It could be possible that Samsung servers only just now released it despite the earlier listed date and you might get it OTA today or in the new few days.

You can be sure if its available by going into Android Settings -> software update -> last update and clicking on the link. That link is to a list of all updates including ones that might not yet be installed. The words last update is a bit misleading as to what they actually do there. I should note that the list can be up to a day or so delayed in being updated over what's available when checking for updates manually.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Magister54:
I used Runkeeper on others phones, basically it tracks your run and plot your GPS map etc. It worked flawlessly on others phones, but with the F3, I start the app, put it in my pocket, run, after 15 minutes I checked the map and nothing, the OS is killing the application, I put it in the "no restriction battery" and tried all kinds of thing but it's unusable as it got killed after a few minutes.

How the hell can we use an app on the F3 that do not get killed and run in background?

I'm on stock ROM.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] jefffrom:
check permissions I'm sure it need location ect, if that fails and you must have the app I suggest

go to a non stock rom like Arrow
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] TechieTwinToes:
I have had the same issue with many GPS tracking apps on MIUI. The only solution I found was to use ADB, use the package name to retrieve permissions, and set the app's location permission to "Always allow".

AFAIK, this issue is because the developers of these apps haven't updated their location permission requests to target the latest APIs.

Previously it was just Allow/Deny but not we have Always allow/Allow while using/Notify/Deny.

Hope this helps!
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Magister54:
I will check this, any more info on how to change this permission? I have ADB and all. Do I need root for this?

I cannot grant the ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION permission because the app did not request it, it's not in its manifest.

i use platform-tools_r34.0.4-windows
[Google Pixel 7] philosoraptor7:
that seems to be a very old version of fastboot :)

are you sure you're using platform tools 34.0.4?

download once again from official site: https://developer.android.com/tools/releases/platform-tools#downloads

and be sure to properly set PATH variable if you're using "fastboot" command globally
[Google Pixel 7] simplepinoi177:
Additionally, platform-tools above r33 (r34+) has been renown to be buggy for Pixel 7 devices. But it usually has something to do with flashing in fastbootd -- and as I am unfamiliar with LineageOS or its installation, I am uncertain if this would be an issue, but in case it does and/or the new version somehow is breaking the installation, if flashing with r34 doesn't eventually succeed, it's worth considering using the latest non-buggy version of platform-tools at r33 (r33.0.3).

If you do end up needing it, resource below;

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] waqqas.khokhar:
Hello,

I'm actually in Canada, and Samsung changed One UI in recent years to only allow us to select a "Primary" SIM for everything (Calls, SMS, Data), instead of choosing an individual default for each category as in years past.

However, I was told by a user in the UK, that they still have the individual toggles.

Can anyone in the US who has dual-SIM (i.e. one physical and one eSIM) set up, give me feedback on the style of toggles they have?

Thanks in advance!

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] ajshaikh1:
Im not in US but I can advise you to use Truecaller app as your default dialer and it will let you choose for each sim (2 physical sims, not sure about 1 physical and 1 esim)
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] waqqas.khokhar:
Thank you, but the main flexibility I want is to keep my main line for calls and SMS and occasionally change my default data SIM. (Also, I prefer the stock Samsung Phone app.)
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] jcsww:
I have a 918U purchased from T-Mobile running the U1 firmware. All I have is a primary SIM toggle that let's me select which, the SIM or eSIM, as the Primary SIM.

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] waqqas.khokhar:
Thanks, this ALMOST worked, but when I toggled back and forth between the SIMs twice, my selections for the calls/sms defaults were forgotten.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] waqqas.khokhar:
Can anyone in the US running OneUI 6 Beta 1 comment on if they have separate toggles or not?

TIA!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] sysopkotton:
In the US nothing has changed, still the same.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dbGHOST:
Annoyingly the US variant never had a proper dual-SIM implementation since OneUI 5 (tried both S22U & S23U).

Even the data roaming toggle is for both SIMs, and so is the roaming status, it seems.

This creates a particularly bizarre situation for T-Mobile users.

When SIM 1 is in roaming, somehow the phone thinks the T-Mobile SIM 2 is also in roaming despite it's not.

Then every time it switches networks (either dis/reconnect or to another area) it pops up an activity saying the data roaming is on/off, then suggests turning it off/on.

Sometimes during frequent network changes, multiple of them will pop up simultaneously and I couldn't do anything until canceling them one by one.

Also all my mobile data usage is counted as roaming usage on my phone now.

The popup activity seems to be from T-Mobile though (judged by the Tmo naming).

Don't know if disabling it would help. Wish there's a way to test without root.

I wish US variant has the dual-sim menu like all the Asia/EU countries...

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
It's the global S918B model, not US-specific model (S918U/U1)
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] iblackrd:
US model dont have physical dual sim only sim+esim
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] NippleSauce:
All I know is that I can add up to 3 SIMs on my S918U1 - the carrier unlocked US model. That would be 1 physical SIM and 2 eSIMs.

So, I believe that we should be able to toggle certain usage features for individual SIMs simultaneously...as it wouldn't make much sense to allow for 3 different SIMs if you can only use one of them at a time...

I can only see something like that being useful for users whom travel across the globe on a daily basis LOL.

Anyway, I just landed a new job and have been considering loading a Visible Mobile plan onto my second eSIM due to having absolutely zero service with AT&T at the new workplace location... So, hopefully we can get some more detail here from someone before I go through with that...

Edit - Granted....I suppose that I would need to have everything switched to the second SIM whilst at work so I could still receive calls/texts (with a different phone number) and have data to do any necessary research...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] waqqas.khokhar:
Kudos to @peacey8 for showing me how to achieve this.

I have a Canadian SM-S918W, which I flashed to the unlocked US XAA firmware (SM-S918U1), and then (critical step) changed the CSC to GCF. Then, the 3 toggles magically appeared 😍View attachment 6012995
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JeffATL:
Anyway this can be enabled on US version?

How did you change CSC ?

Edit: Got it! Changed CSC using SamFW, also had to disable cidmanger using ADB to prevent from reverting to TMB

Do you know if GSF disables any bands? If not this is incredible!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JeffATL:
Does it let you set default SMS or only calls? Google Dialer can do it for calls too.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JeffATL:
no longer working in Android 14
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] waqqas.khokhar:
I think the GCF CSC is available on U1 firmwares, but not U firmwares.

You can use a tool called SamFw to change the CSC.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JeffATL:
Thanks. I also needed to disable Cid manager because it would force reboot and CSC change (I think) Anyway, got it working.

I know GCF stands for Global Certification Forum but is there any harm using it? Will it disable any bands ?
