[General Questions and Answers] simplepinoi177:
Well, first and foremost, stating what device you are using and what version of OS would be more helpful than anything...

second, in your title you state "at boot"...which is A WHOLE LOT different than when the device is unlocked and running in the normal environment (not in the startup loading stages of OS). I believe all Android devices need to pattern unlock at boot first to decrypt the file system before anything else. So asking to do that before or after "at boot" is a whole different type of things (one where it is still encrypted, one when it is not...)

Like you said, there are other dialer apps that might make things different, but for what you're asking, I can't imagine those apps being able to achieve what you are looking into without root access.

If you can root and are willing to, there are Magisk modules (and other methods I believe, but am unfamiliar with) that bring Google's Phone app (with all the special features like Call Screen, Hold For Me, Direct My Call, etc.) to devices that aren't Pixels....

but, again, it depends on your device, OS (version as well), and if you can and will root....
[General Questions and Answers] ChuckBartowskI91:

I hope for some solution that can make the app behave like Phone by Google which makes the phone show the screen for answering without unlock the phone first.

Is is allowed to change system settings, while other dialers can't, maybe something like that could work?

I edited and wrote the device. I will not root it because it's the phone I use as daily driver and I'm not so much into doing it.

I just thought that third party apps can make the same things as Phone by Google does, showing call screen while encryption is still fully active, even if maybe iťs one of the reason why I want to ungoogle just a bit 🫣
[General Questions and Answers] simplepinoi177:
So, you want to be able to make & receive calls right after boot, without first unlocking the phone to load the up OS fully (I can only assume this because of this statement you made; "while encryption is still fully active")? Without unrooting your device?

If this is what you want, then no, there is no way to do this or no third party app that can make it happen. Even if you "ungoogle", I'm sure no other smartphone (Apple or otherwise) will allow you to use even the phone option without unlocking (and thus disabling the encryption). I imagine you can always go without any screenlock -- and thus no encryption -- but then again you state that you use this as your "daily driver" so that wouldn't be advisable...

If this is not what you meant, and you simply want to be able to answer calls without unlocking the phone...? You can't do that in MIUI?

After a bit of "google fu", maybe this will help (justcall app) *if you are willing to pay for this feature/app

[General Questions and Answers] ChuckBartowskI91:
I meant the first one.

About the second one it can be done in miui. Just once I received a call and no popup appeared, I don't think I didn't put the password that morning (I turn it off at night), more probably energy saver shut it off. So to be on the safe side now is set to auto startup and no restrictions on battery usage.

But truecall 24 dollars/month (without counting euro/dollar conversion, I'm in Europe) if you purchase per year subscription? Probably does a lot of special things.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zuko0629:
Hi XDA,

I am here to ask for help about my dilemma.

I have my late younger brother's phone (passed away recently) and I can't figure out how to unlock it.

It's a Xiaomi Redmi 9c, unrooted and bootloader locked (checked through fastboot), usb debugging disabled. Password protected, not pin nor pattern. I've stumbled upon some threads here in XDA, followed the instructions but it still didn't work. Tried out some passwords I knew from him, still didn't work.

I need the data inside it as it may contain last pictures, documents and etc. of him alive. It may give us some clarity about his situation.

I need to find a way to bypass the lock screen and not get the data wiped, maybe go from there. If you're doubtful of the story, I can give you documents, pictures, etc. to prove it.

If there were any thread that already solved this with the same situation I have, let me know and I'll follow it right away. Apologies to the mods if I might be on the wrong thread.

I'm really hoping someone could help me with this.

I guess I'm that desperate already, but anything for my brother.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mvikrant97:
I'm very sorry for your loss.

I would love to help you in recovering the pictures from your brother's phone.

It would be more of an experiment to recover the data but I can promise you that the phone won't be erased.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zuko0629:

Thank you! I'm really hoping for that too!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CodeNameDan:
I'm really sorry for your loss. I know a way to disable the lock screen but it will only work if the internal storage is not encrypted. If the storage is encrypted, I don't think that there is a way to decrypt it without having the password.

Redmi 9c has a mediatek cpu so you can use mtkclient to unlock the bootloader without wiping the phone. I've used this method to unlock my poco x3 gt (which also has a mediatek cpu) bootloader without data loss.

mtk da seccfg unlock

I don't know for redmi 9c but for my poco x3 gt after this command it was needed to go into fastboot and run

fastboot oem cdms

for dm-verity corruption error to go away. After you unlock the bootloader it is possible to install a custom recovery. From there if the storage is not encrypted it is possible to remove the lockscreen xml file and disable the lockscreen password.

Not so much a fix for internal gps but i used an external holux bt gps reciever along with tom tom 7 and for first time since i got this phone there was no lag, tried it with igo 8 too , but position on the screen was behind my actual position, normally its ahead with internal gps.

just wanted to let people know in case it works for them too, not perfect solution i know, but it worked for me
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] geoffie:
Yep, I already had an external bluetooth GPS too, and indeed there is no lag with this when I switch from the (lagging) internap GPS. This (probably) confirms the issue is not with the graphics driver or speed of processing of the signals from the GPS.

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] powershift:
I had my unlocked Pixel 7 Pro running on the Verizon network getting 5 G speeds. 10-15MB/s down was pretty nice on a 4g plan. The device was rooted and I used VPN hotspot to share the internet. After a few months (this week), my internet started flaking out consistently all day for a few days and I could no longer stream music. I saw the radio icon was switching off/on. I tried forcing LTE instead of the recommended 5 G option and it still was failing and it seemed like the radio broke since my backup 4G phone works fine.

So at this point I turned on google services and did all the updates. Now after the updates I don't have the option to toggle 5G anymore for the radio which is fine but the phone is no longer rooted. The build I have on there is 13.0.0 (TQ3A.230705.001.A1, Jul 2023, Verizon, Verizon MVNOs) and I'm wondering how Verizon got a build on there and do I have to use it? I wanted a non-carrier OS phone with the unlocked version. How can I recover to get back 5G and root or just root would be fine?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] HipKat:
You don't have to use the VZW variant but there may be settings for VZW towers, etc. You'll be fine. I've uses the T-Mob version without issue
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
I'm curious what happens if you were to force "NR only" on "preferred network type" (the special setting page you can get if you do " *#*#4636#*#*" on the dialpad or other methods)....? If you gave your phone no choice but 5G to connect to...

I have a non-carrier "unlocked" variant "OS phone" (I assume you mean the OS variants with bloatware and restrictions built-in) on a Verizon SIM and it all seems to work fine (supposedly my device should connect & "mesh" better with Verizon's servers/towers than with the other monthly update) -- 5G, root, using TQ3A.230705.001.A1....
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] powershift:
After performing those steps the radio is on 5G. 186mb/s down. Then I toggled it back to NR/LTE and it still stayed on 5G. When in LTE only mode, download speed was 66mb/s. So it looks like now all I need to do is learn out how to root it again using magdisk. They did modify the OS so that you can't pick the radio type anymore, but now I know there is another way to achieve the same thing. Thanks!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
Happy that it worked out for you and happy that I was able to help! I'm glad to have shown something that was unknown to you in the hopes that it might help others in the same as well....

Yeah, you've made me notice that now Google/Android doesn't even have the older setting that was a toggle to use LTE, 5G, or even 3G (like it does for 2G). It's kinda like in the old days when they didn't give any option either, which is why I found out about the setting "preferred network type" option; because before toggling between LTE & 3G would drain the battery in dead spots and it was best to just leave it at 3G.

I wonder why you can't remember how you rooted, but I believe using PixelFlasher is probably the simplest most direct way of rooting if you don't want to get into the "nitty gritty" of doing things manually...

Glad it worked out for you!

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Flyview:
Hello!

This Magisk module mod will increase the temperatures that your Pixel 6 Pro will begin throttling at.

It will allow the CPU / battery / display to get hotter before throttling begins on the CPU/GPU frequencies, charge currents, and display refresh rate. The main reason I am using it is to allow the phone to be able to charge while in use. Without it, normal use while on data on a 22c+ day would get the phone hot enough to not allow charging, or charge at very slow rates. Charging would start slowing down at around 37c battery temperature and stop at around 40c, but I can't remember exactly. Throttling will still occur with the mod, but will occur at higher temperatures. I've seen charging stop around 47c battery temperature.

There are many sensors that play a role in deciding when to thermal throttle, so the battery temperature is just one factor. This mod increases temperature threshold values for the "VIRTUAL-SKIN" and "VIRTUATL-SKIN-CHARGE" virtual sensors on Android 13, as well as "VIRTUAL-SKIN-HINT", "VIRTUAL-SKIN-CPU", and "VIRTUAL-SKIN-CPU-GPU" on Android 14 . These sensors are themselves based on other virtual sensors, which are in turn based on hardware sensors. This seems to have been enough to relax charging throttling and modifying “thermal_info_config_charge.json” as well was not necessary.

I'm not exactly sure how these levels affect throttling, but I believe it's under the "BindedCdevInfo" sections. Discussion on how this works and how to improve it is welcomed.

The stock thermal file has changed for Android 14, so there are separate mod files below for Android 13 and 14.

Please USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! I have not personally had any issues with it but I am not responsible if this ends up damaging your phone.

This mod is made possible and mainly based on @JohnTheFarm3r 's mod for the Pixel 7. I started a new thread because his Pixel 6 Pro thread is unsupported and got messy with other people posting their own files.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Flyview:
v1.1

-Leave all values but increase them, instead of removing the first few threshold levels.

-Separate mod for Android 14.

-Android 13 values are increased by 8c.

-Android 14 values are increased for 8c for most values, with some exceptions.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Flyview:
I just posted an update in the original post. I changed the name slightly so you may have to remove the old Magisk module before installing this one!

There are now separate mod files for Android 13 and Android 14 as the stock thermal file has changed with Android 14.

Please let me know how it works for you!

-Separate mod for Android 14.

-Android 14 values are increased for 8c for most values, with some exceptions.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Flyview:
Please update to v1.1 and let me know how that works for you. The initial mod may have been a little too extreme and would result in the phone suddenly throttling and shutting off cellular data on hot days.

I have a Touch Pro device with 4000 contacts. When I try to search on them, as I type, a matching message appears in the lower side of screen and it takes so much time to display the matching contacts. Same time it's over 30". Is there a way to speed up contacts' maching?
[General Questions and Answers] Imyman:
Holy crap....4000 contacts??!! If your phone needs to scan though 4000 contacts each time you try to pull up a phone number....I'm guessing it would take that long. Even for the 528Mhz processor of the pro.

Maybe you can sort your contacts using lists? That way you can search by different lists....making the over all search process quicker.
[General Questions and Answers] szion:
I don't think that 4000 contacts are problem for touch pro... I had a blackberry before and tested it with more than 5000 contacts... it was working like a charm with instant matching. I think that maybe windows mobile doesn't make an index to search in it really fast like blackberry does. Touch pro is by far more advanced from blackberries but I can't believe it can't do that.
[General Questions and Answers] nir36:
dude.. considering you have 5000 contacts i don't think your problem is the device :)

btw, the fastest CL app i know of is iContact, which i'm using..

dunno how you can run 5000 contacts fast enough to work with,

Yes but how can you explain the fact that blackberry can handle more than 5000 contacts just fine? My Boss has 12000 contacts and works fine.
[General Questions and Answers] nir36:
if your blackberry is as crazy as your boss.. i wouldn't be surprised that is does :)

j/k...

a blackberry doesn't initialize your contacts everytime your contact list loads. it preloads it.. that's why it would be faster.

Hi ,im running icontact burt edition and in the configuration there u can choose to exit the app on action and such,when u dissable those options, every time u call or exit icontact it will still be running in the backround,that might help speed things up,sorry cant test it though,i have like 85 contacts :D
[General Questions and Answers] nir36:
It is still a problem as iContact has to load all 5000 contacts after the system loads.

I don't know of a way to cache the contacts which would be the only way to make it as fast as needed for such an amount of information.

I would suggest tho, that you go to the iContact thread an offer burt to add the option of multilisting of contacts for people with such an amount of contacts... maybe he'll do it..

[General Questions and Answers] bill48105:
WTH?! 4000 contacts?!? LOL How about deleting some? jk :D I will tell you with about 400 contacts on a few different Windows Mobile phones & it was dog slow sometimes so I can't even imagine 4000. One reason I had so many was from my old-school days with a Nokia I have each contact location as a separate contact (like Bill Cell Bill Home Bill Work) vs the specified field available now. Once I synced with my Outlook then edited them on there, cleared them all off my phone & sync'd back it was MUCH faster since I had 1/3 the contacts. I do know that it was always much slower after 1st booting up the phone than after I had been using it awhile, unless I left too many programs running which sucked up the memory. On my old WM5 2125 there was a cache registry change I made that helped a TON but sorry I don't recall what it was offhand.. I think the tweak utils have it as an option under 'performance'. And yeah like joel2009 suggested, turn off SIM contact acces if you can migrate them to phone memory. I found accessing SIM contacts is WAYYYYY slower. Besides you have fewer contact fields using the SIM. ;)

I think this is because it was in mint condition and probably was not actually activated on the T mobile network. How can I get this unlocked. Not that I need to its because I want to.
