[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Bauxi:
Hi !

I am trying to transfer my cat collection from my old phone to my s23. I am using the deprecated adb backup feature to export and import the data in a .ab file. In appearance, everything seems successful, I have the confirmation to restore data on my S23 and the toast notification at the end. However, for some reason my collection is still empty on my phone.

This is something that I have already done successfully from a S8 to a S20, even though the S20 wasn't on the android version where this easter egg was originally available.

I've tried to restore with the package installed as well as making the transfer then installing the package, both without success.

If anyone has done this successfully or has a suggestion, that would be greatly appreciated !

Thanks in advance for your time
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] raul6:
does cat control work otherwise, as in new cat arrives?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JazonX:
Not sure what's a cat or a cat collection ;

Backup from older phones to S23 Ultra doesnt work as S23 Ultra uses EROFS File system which breaks restored backups.

Titanium Backup too doesn't work anymore due to this reason. If you have root, you could try Swift Backup.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Bauxi:
Yes, cat controls works othewise, I can get new cats on the s23.

Ok thanks for the info on the file system ! Is there any known ways to "bypass" it ?

edit : cat collection is refering to an android easter egg (from nougat IIRC), which is a mini game where you can collect cats with random colors

Also, I am not rooted because I do not need any root feature, I am only missing this data from my old phone, so rooting only for this isn't worth it. I hope there is a solution that doesn't require root...
[XPERIA X1 General] Aaron J:
So when I leave all the band settings to auto on the phone, it immediately connects to AT&T's 3G network and shows the "H" in the title bar it worked for a little while then calls stopped coming through, after a hard reset it works again with calls for a few hours, then it begins to fail.

If I switch the bands to GSM and manually select the frequencies (850 + 1900, according to wm) then it connects to the EDGE network, and I can make and receive calls as I please, no problems, except for the crappy network speed.

So someone help me out here please, is the phone defective, or is it not working as it should because of the lack of the 850 band? I know that AT&T works on either or but this problem has me stumped.

Other than this rather huge problem (phone that cant make calls), I absolutely love the Xperia and would hate to return and wait for another.
[XPERIA X1 General] odobo:
did you try to use the connection wizard to let the phone config itself?

after I put my iphone sim in it shows the H/3G icon on anf off all the time, while I can receive call I was unable to go online.... after someone suggested me to call att to update the imei on my account to the x1, I found that I still have to go to connection and change the setting myself b4 it can go online. you will have to remove the user name and pw in media net setting and uncheck the proxy server.

I guess my case is a little different than yours but I guess you can give it a try... good luck =)
[XPERIA X1 General] Aaron J:
Thanks, I actually haven't tried that since i figured it would be the same as what happens when you turn the phone on for the first time, when it autoconfigs.
[XPERIA X1 General] odobo:
if it say it detect a new sim and ask if you want to do the auto config then I guess its the same... but again I did need to change some settings inside the network config to make it work too... so I am guessing the "auto config" has some flaw in it :p
[XPERIA X1 General] scl_electronics:
No problem with my X1i when I venture in a1900mhz area close to my home. I live in a small town in Ca. only 850mhz here. But in the larger Metro area around me... No Problems with calls or hspeed data access...

Stuart
[XPERIA X1 General] Aaron J:
Thanks for the replies, It looks like the Configuration wizard in the settings menu did the trick. It do something else that the autoconfig doesnt. The phone seems to work now just fine, although it doesnt hang on to the signal as well as my old k790a. The office I work in is an ATT dead zone and I could make calls using the K790a with only one bar, with the Xperia it either doesnt go through or drops the call.

Again this is better as it works now, just not as well as my old phone.

Also, scl_electronics, so you are saying the X1i has both 850 and 1900mhz bands? I had a feeling mine did too, but I thought it was put to rest that that wasnt the case with the X1i....
[XPERIA X1 General] scl_electronics:
Sorry Aaron J,

i should have been more specific!! Where I live, 3G is only on 850mhz band so I don't get access..Just The edge network. When I venture about 10 mile away toward the major Metro areas..The 1900mhz band are used. So the H is displayed, but I don't have those access problems for calls or data!!

But i am waiting to see if they can crack the rom for 850mhz-3G access!!

Stuart
[XPERIA X1 General] Aaron J:
Oh ok thats kind of makes, sense although I thought the X1i didnt have an 850 band at all, so what frequency does it work off then?

Anyways, back to my problem....I spoke too soon, it dont work on 3G :( switched to EDGE. I might just try getting a new sim card, mine is a Cingular one from 2005, that has been in at least 4 different phones now including the X1i.
[XPERIA X1 General] scl_electronics:
Well out here in Ca... 850mhz gsm/edge is used ..So I quad band gsm phone is handy!!!

Stuart
[XPERIA X1 General] Aaron J:
Yes it is! My little problem is a little confusing though as one thing I just realized that I didnt say before is that the phone has no problem connecting to the 3G network using HSDPA. I get full bars with the H icon pretty much everywhere in my area and my data speeds are very good. So I can surf the net, download programs, watch high quality youtube videos using the app in touchflo and even send and receive texts just fine.....just no calls when on 3G. I'm hoping its just setting somewhere and not a faulty device.

I live in Raleigh NC by the way so maybe it could be a faulty tower?
[XPERIA X1 General] scl_electronics:
Well when venture into Stockton Ca. my phone switches to 3G-HSDPA:1900MHZ Without a connection hitch....

Have you tried a soft reset......

But when all else fails Hard Reset to the Rescue!!!

Btw... in several of my ppc-wm units when restoring to OEM setting(hard reset) there has been many time the process had a problem. So something would be screwed up!! So when You don't succeed, try another hard reset!!

Good luck,

Stuart
[XPERIA X1 General] Experiaenjoy:
hey i was wonder if your problem is HSDPA/HSUPA being on, i have at&t also and it worked for the first few weeks fine with it being on then all of a sudden it stopped and couldn't connect to the internet, before i had the H/Edge showing up and also my email never updated when it was set to do it every 15minutes. Now that i disable the HSDPA/HSUPA i see 3G/Edge and email update all the time on the X1i. Just wonder if that might fix it, I'm all kinda still new to all this but i had my X1i for 2 1/2 weeks now.
[XPERIA X1 General] Aaron J:
Hello thanks for all the suggestions, Experiaenjoy, no I haven't tried mainly because I can connect to the data network just fine and get awesome speeds with full bars pretty much everywhere, all of my data related activities and programs work just fine (aka murder my battery life:) ). I just cant make calls while on 3G.

I talked to a coworker today who used to be a regional manager at AT&T hee said that he saw many cases of people who were having problems where it was due to the SIM card. He said they all had the older orange Cingular card and that an update to the new blue AT&T card solved all problems. So right now I'm trying to see if I can get mine updated (I do have an older Cingular SIM). Once I get that, I will do a hard reset (3rd one also done about 20 soft resets since I 've had it-I've installed a bunch of programs and tweaks) and skip the auto config and go straight to the connection wizard.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] hyper001:
Hi All,

In a topic in this section, an user told to get access to the system app "Application MTP" and do an operation to try to fix a bug with the Z Flip 3 phone. I'm able to see "Application MTP" system app only when I clear the memory but not if I go into the system apps where in fact is not present. There is a way to find it and to disable it?

Thanks in advance.

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Piipperi:
Hi,

I recently acquired a used Pixel 2 from a local seller, which appears to be originally bought from Verizon (according to everything I can find online).

It seems to be SIM unlocked, as I can use my foreign SIM card on it no problem.

Google Support has told me to contact the carrier, which as a European user, I am not sure what would Verizon do. Especially since the person who I bought this phone seems to have got this as a “hand down” phone, or as a gift, so they don't have a clue where it could have been bought from originally. Either way, it can't be locked to a local carrier since no carrier in my country has ever sold Pixels and the device's Google “Hardware authorization” page says it's from US/CA.

I've tried many tricks to unlock, but none of them seem to work, as I'm on the latest Dec 2020 patch.

Am I basically out of luck on getting any custom ROMs on this phone?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] simplepinoi177:
What results info comes out if you enter your phone's IMEI in any IMEI checker (website)? Be sure to try to use a US website...

Normally, it will state whether the device is a carrier variant or not; a good way to actually confirm your device is a Verizon variant or not -- if it is not a carrier variant, that's the best chance you have that you can unlock the bootloader.

I had a Pixel 2 XL (taimen), and if I recall correctly, the first 2 (or last, can't quite remember) digits in the IMEI actually identifies as a certain carrier -- 2 digits or up to 4 or 5; it's been a long time so I can't quite recall exactly...

If the website isn't able to confirm in a satisfactory degree, you can research this factor to see if your device is or isn't...

Good luck!
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Piipperi:
Most IMEI checkers give info that's slightly off (they usually say it's SIM locked when it's obviously not since it works with my foreign SIM), but that would still indicate that it was at least bought from a carrier.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] simplepinoi177:
So I had 2 Pixel 2 XLs -- one from Verizon, one from Google Store. Luckily, I still had the boxes (god, i really need to learn to throw things away and not keep everything, but at least it helps in this instance) so I was able to check and compare the 2 IMEIs...

If you go here, under "Buyer Name", it has VRZ in it (I assume for Verizon); while the other said "GOOGLE_OPEN_64G".

IMEIpro - free LG IMEI checker

Check information about your LG cell phone - model, serial number, manufacture date. Verify LG carrier, age of the phone, purchase country, CSN number and other details.

www.imeipro.info

This should help you narrow it down so you can know for sure if you have a Verizon variant (which then you probably have no hope in unlocking the bootloader) or the Global variant....

Even if it isn't Verizon, as long as it's not a US carrier variant, you should be able to have the capability to tick the OEM unlock. With the other US carrier variants, there are varying allowances in unlocking the bootloader, but Verizon is the one that is the most uncompromisingly restrictive.

Also, unlike current Pixels, having a SIM unlock is not necessarily a requirement to unlock the bootloader -- meaning even if the device is SIM unlocked, it still may not be able to be bootloader unlocked; which may be why you can use the device internationally but it still be a US carrier variant....

Hope this helps!
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Piipperi:
The IMEI checker you linked doesn't work, it keeps erroring out.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] simplepinoi177:
Sorry that didn't work out for you....

Just saw this post (below) in another thread and it made me think of you.....maybe it's worth a try -- at the very least it seems a better, more-legit method than a rather random sketchy site...

Hopefully this works out better for you...good luck!

if you have read the faq posted in the first post ( or the second ) of the hyperdragon forum you would know, that on the 6.8 camera autofocus won't work, you will need to install nadavi 5.04 camere to make it work again, again as stated, do a little read in the hyperdragon forum, and you're done
