The down-side to this feature of the program is, the notification light will stop. If you check your missed calls, texts, so on from the bar on top.

You have to actually open the "programs" manually to keep the notification light working.

Ex. if you get a missed call, instead of pulling down the notification bar to check. Press the call button once.

if you get a text, open the messeging inbox using the messeging button or SMSChomp button.

Try to limit how often you have to pull the notification bar down.

Pulling the notification bar DISABLES ALL notifications of all kind.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] parrots_:
Is there any place to get the firmware for flashing with Qualcomm?

From what I've learned, you need XML files, img files, etc. I don't think SAMFW provides it.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] monstermcfly:
I bought an s22 ultra from dhgate. It's not like I thought it would be. The signal is terrible. Apps and camera and nothing like I thought it should be. It was unlocked when I got it. Guy I bought it from is no help. Tmobile and Samsung haven't been able to help either.

My question is,

Can I flash a different firmware or rom to it and it work? Or is it something with the phone itself that's not gonna let it work right. I was told by Samsung it's a non US version. So can it be used? Or was it a waste of money?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
You need to give more info, not just sim slot. Build number, more than just apps not working. More people will answer if you give more info. Show your about phone, what version firmware you are on. What have you tried.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thomashjr:
Hello: This thing still sort of works ten years on but the internal "browser" called "browser" won't let me connect to most sites. I am hoping I can put nougat 7.0 in it and get some more life out of it. I copied its entire internal memory to external drive. I rooted it. I am in developer mode with USB debug enabled. I have tried to gather data and files to acquire nougat and put it on the SD card I use for photos on this. But I am not confident if I have the right files at the ready. Is all of this entirely futile? I considered lineage OS but they do not offer a version for this which according to one forum is same as verizon wear24 but that is a watch not a tablet. Any guidance from anyone who has succeeded with one of these is appreciated. I was wondering if I could wipe all the certificates and then it might acquire new ones? Or is that stupid?

[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] Avioley:
Hey,

For about 4 months now, I have been struggling to receive texts. I can text outgoing fine, and receive calls of all types, but for some reason, texts don't work. But, if I take out my sim card, and put it back in, even just for a second, everything that was texted to me before i removed the sim comes all in in that moment. Like, a text i missed 4 days ago will appear once i put the sim back in.

Ive gotten a new SIM, im on the newest avalible lineageOS 20 fw, fully rooted and have no other issues concerning sim cards, such as data or calls. I have no clue what is going on, and after a few days of popping the sim out and in again, my little fix breaks, and i have to pop it in and out again to get it working for a mere 2-4 days.

FW: LineageOS 20,

Root: YES,

Magisk: LATEST

Carrier: T-Mobile
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] lzgmc:
Known issue with all custom roms at this point, where texts won't come in after a restart. Also, you can toggle "Use SIM" in Settings instead of popping out your SIM card.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] adamjt:
Got my Caseborne Rugged Magsafe case in. It's very nice quality. FIgured I'd share a couple pics. My first magsafe case on an android phone, but the magnet seems to work great. The case is rugged but it's pretty slim. I've had otterbox defenders and commuters before and another caseborne rugged for my samsung phone. This one isn't as beefy as the defender, but rugged enough and not super thick like the defender....good compromise. They put 2 glass screen protectors in the box, which I wasn't expecting, and they are actually good quality. I was impressed again with caseborne and figured I'd give them a shotout on this one.

Any question, ask away!
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] funone64:
I received the same one and also impressed. But the screen protectors look small.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Meowdib:
Isn't this just like the Supcase?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] 18th.abn:
Agreed. Case fitment is perfection. I will probably rock this case until another pixel peaks my interest. The included screen protector also very nice but 1mm missing on height & width. I'd gladly purchase another in the future

Am getting my phone in a couple of days, and I'm interested in this case. But the fact that the inner frame of this case is made of polycarbonate, I am worried if it is going to cause long term scratches to the phone, thoughts?

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Paz9:
I normally use SMS backup and restore

I've noticed that the restore completes but the messages aren't there? Has Google changed the way messages are managed?

edit: same thing happening in Swift from other users.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] mang0:
Did not have much luck with SMS backup & restore either. It ended up restoring some very sporadic messages... and nothing within the last 6 or so months.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Paz9:
Has something changed recently? I notice "phone messages and storage" is holding the 1.5gb I restored but the actually messages aren't there

Decided to wipe the data using root... Might try again, but it has no issues restoring recent messages, perhaps something's changed with the app or android 14 recently?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Paz9:
So for some reason SMS back up restore should restore some messages and not others seemingly random as it should restore some within a date range and not others

It looks like either the app or p8pro is handling the restore differently than before.

I had to delete "phone messages and storage" data as it was filled with 1.5gb of data that wasn't being seen in the messaging apps.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Morgrain:
For some reason, my P8 Pro decided to do a backup transfer WITHOUT cable. Now it wants me to keep the other Pixel close, and allegedly it will take 1hour 20minutes.

What the heck, Google?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Samuel Holland:
My experience with backup here recently; I had to wipe my 7 Pro (actually still on Android 13), then a few days later upgrade to Android 14.

Everything was restored including a wallpaper I was using from the backdrops app, app settings, etc, however messages was about the same, it restored a long list of names, but not every contact had messages, even some of my recent messages.

I've never had so much restored from backup, although, I usually wouldn't use backup, so definitely something seemed like something changed. 8 Pro is supposed to be here today.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Paz9:
It's pretty strange, but something is definitely changed in the last version. I've submitted the request to the developer of the app, but I don't expect much.

Don't bother restoring, phone and messages storage will grow in size for no reason, I'll just have to view the backups in the app whenever I need them I guess.

Edit: the developers replied stating they've gotten a few reports of this happening and are looking into it but can't reproduce or find the cause
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] hpower1:
I got mine yesterday, haven't even opened the box yet, but what about using swift to restore messages? I know it has an option to backup sms, but I have never used it to restore.

Haven't tried this yet but my old phone is gone and I only have the XML backup from the app I used.

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] halo3junkiee:
I used to use SMS Backup many years ago, but it became incredibly unreliable restoring my texts. It may have gotten worse since then with the introduction of RCS, I think it's enabled by default on Google phone now.

Google One backup is pretty good, admittedly. In my options I can choose what I want to backup. The options aren't extensive but it works.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] bsg411:
I was going to mention the same thing...that google backup should restore the messages fine.....not sure how it handles RCS chats though. It ,may convert them to sms during the restore process.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] bsg411:
So you can only for a transfer wirelessly now?? No option to use the cable??
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] mang0:
Can confirm Swift Backup worked 100x better than SMS Backup & Restore. I seem to still be missing a few group conversations, but the majority of the texts seem to have restored over.

On a side note, there isn't a way to use Google One to restore phone data after you've completely gone through the initial setup process, right? I'll probably just end up restoring data that way in the future. Generally still like to restore everything separately.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] 94b20gsr:
You can, process outlined here: Google Data Transfer Info
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] A.Priori:
google one should restore messages
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] bkrickles:
I'm restoring with google one right now!!
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] HipKat:
This is true and it DOES restore messages you may have deleted but it restores everything
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Morgrain:
That's completely ridiculous and unintuitive. No idea why Google made that change on A14, there is literally no way to know that as a normal user, except if you specifically inform yourself beforehand (there is no reason to, why would anyone assume that Google suddenly changes a basic feature of Android and completely turns it 180 degrees, without informing the user in any way). In every Android version before, the classic USB-transfer was the standard one, and Google literally demanded that you use a cable.

You don't get any option that says "cable" or "usb" or something now, so I simply accepted the terrible burden of doing it wirelessly. The fact that there is now a "hidden" option that can only be accessed by targeting a PICTURE that doesn't give you any hint of being special and hammering your finger several times on that... for a basic feature that was the "normal" transfer-action for more than a decade... classic Google.

There are QoL features in software, and then there is the madness that Google comes up with, regularly turning a solid feature into something stupid. Sometimes I have the feeling that there is a person working for Google that is secretly a saboteur placed by Apple, trying to annoy Android users through various means, ultimately making them question their being in the Android world.

Well, it's good to know for the future that I have to hammer on "copy apps & data" several times... to unlock the USB transfer 'feature' (instead of, you know, giving us a button that says something along the lines of "use wired USB cable for data transfer"). Because apparently cables are not cool any more, and they can only be accessed through the means of secret finger hammerings on specific pictures...
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] simplepinoi177:
I know, at least in the past, many times after restoring from SMS Backup & Restore that it would take sometimes several hours for all of the texts to repopulate....

I would physically visually observe more and more texts and group texts keep populating -- usually it would be in order, but sometimes it would load a couple of oldest texts (2012) in the beginning and then be repopulating in the middle for a long while...

I doubt all of you would fall for something as simple, but I didn't want any of you to accidentally overlook this aspect and sort of "jump the gun"....
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] hpower1:
I use textra, but after a restore, I always do their resync option, always worked before.

Haven't used yet on my 8P tho.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] murphyjasonc:
I had mine backed up with Swift backup and Google. Google backup worked fine so didn't have to use Swift though
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] HipKat:
Swift is mostly to restore Data as far as I'm concerned
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Paz9:
I know this, however when restoring 90k messages and going back into the app to backup it only says I have 40k messages.

So it's actually missing the messages

The time it takes to populate the messages in the Google app doesn't affect the actual messages you restore.

I've been doing this since the pixel 3 days, restore 90k messages once complete I go back into SMS backup and restore and make sure it says I have the much messages when I run another backup to make sure nothing was missed.

The developer of SMS backup and restore says they had a few reports of this and are trying to find a solution
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] simplepinoi177:
I figured as much, it's why I made the disclaimer

And I totally know how you feel, I've been with Pixel since Pixel 2 and using SMS Backup & Restore from my Motorola Droid 3 (hence why I have texts from 2012) and been carrying over backups from/to every phone (about 5 at this point) to 120k texts! I've even done the practice (sort of like you) where I do the Full Restore, then I would go back and do the alternative restore (this was many previous versions ago)....

I know once it restores it, the messages should be there, whether it is displayed or not on a messaging app (I definitely learned this as I used Verizon Message+ for a long time -- which not being the native messaging app caused a lot of problems -- as it would show on the native message app but still populate on Message+), and the fact that all texts & phone call logs are stored elsewhere than in the messaging app(s) -- they sort of just display what's embedded.

But actually SMS Backup & Restore kind fell out of my favor for a lil while -- right before or right after the app was purchased by another company -- because, at that time, the app seemed to have struggled (especially when being implemented with newer AndroidOS versions) with saving MMS's and considerations of RCS and what not, and I was worried after the original creator/developer sold it that it was going to deteriorate in quality/function. I was happily mistaken when learning that people were still using & vouching for it when I upgraded from the Pixel 5 to the P7P and that it seemed to get over all the bugs/limitations it once had. I'm just saying, maybe history is repeating a bit; but if true, then they'll get over what bugs/glitch and come out a superior product! I guess, in the meantime, we just have to wait and use alternatives (like Swift, Google Backup, etc.)
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] srimay:
My transfer took about 10 minutes to transfer all data including calls and texts. Without a cable. It transfered apps to, but those installed after setup was complete. And when that happens its normal, the pixel set up says apps will be downloaded after set up is completed
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Morgrain:
It depends on the amount of data to be transferred. I had 180 GB of data on my pixel, so it took longer.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] hpower1:
i'll add my experience to this. I took the Oct OTA update and then unlocked the bootloader, but did not root yet. I did my normal of using smsbackup and restore from a backup off my 7 Pro. It looked like it restored all the messages but when I go into textra, it is not ok. has a pile of "temp messages, please delete". Also, going thru all the messages that seem normal, they are all empty. Did the resync thing twice and even rebooted.

I'll have to test out Swift once I get rooted. But for now I'll confirm something is not working with that app.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] mang0:
Same issue with SMS backup & restore for me. Swift worked for all reg messages, just not for the mms conversation threads.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Paz9:
If anyone finds a fix for this or if the dev replies let's post the results here

I exclusively use SMS BR for my messages and never had an issue until now, hopefully a fix is found soon, I don't think it has any issues backing up messages though, it's just restoring doesn't show everything
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] hpower1:
yeah, same for me. Swift restored all sms, but any group conversations are all empty. It seems many pics people sent me are gone too.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Paz9:
if i had my old phone i would have tried googles backup as it seems that gets all the messages

however i sold my old phone and i only have the XML files that SMS BR generates when creating backups...

really hope it gets resolved soon.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Paz9:
https://www.reddit.com/r/android_beta/comments/15mzaij/_/k4o6g4n

seems to have been happening in the beta too.

Seems like Android 14 handles messages differently...
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] hsmith1514:
Just to add a failed data point for restoring messages...

I tried manually transferring all my messages. Exported the full mmssms.db from my P5 as a sql file, then imported the sql file into the new mmssms.db for the P8P. Also copied all of the files in the app_parts folder from the P5 to the P8P, retaining the correct owner/permissions. Reboot phone and still missing lots of messages. It ends up looking pretty identical to what gets restored from Swift and SMS BR with what messages are missing and retained. I'm contemplating upgrading my P5 to A14 and trying again to see if that makes any difference going from A14 to A14 versus A13 to A14.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Paz9:
Very strange! I'd b be interested in checking the results

So A14 is definitely treating messages differently - or there is an issue in A14..
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] hpower1:
i was thinking of upgrading my pixel 6 pro to A14 to test this. It is just sitting on my shelf.

I fired up my P6P, updated it to the latest A14 build, did a restore with sms backup and restore. Same thing as on the 8 pro. So must be an A14 thing. Hopefully apps get updated soon.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] hpower1:
Saw this morning Swift had an app update, so I tried this again on my P6P, same issue, so this isn't fixed yet.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Paz9:
disappointing... hopefully devs catch on soon and supply a fix.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] hpower1:
I think they will. When I was looking at this, I found similar stuff back when i think the P6 released, updates came within a week or two.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] demonjrules:
On the Reddit thread that Paz9 linked to, there is this comment regarding SMS Backup & Restore. The user said if you look at the XML you will see sub_id="-1" and changing this to 1 should allow the restore to work properly.

https://www.reddit.com/r/android_beta/comments/15mzaij/_/k4xbz95

I tested it out with a single backed-up SMS thread and it did not restore anything. I then tried changing all the sub_ids to -1 and all of my messages were restored properly. So I had the opposite of what this user mentioned but it led me to a solution.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Paz9:
ok so if its -1 we change to 1 and vice versa?

pretty strange it worked after you changed sub ids to -1 and in the tread it states the opposite.

i guess we can figure out the messages that actually do get restored and match the sub ids to them - ill give this a crack tonight.

@demonjrules just to confirm that you changed all subIDs to -1 on your pixel 8/pro? suspect it might be related to different phones too.

i will give this a crack later tonight.

can anyone else confirm the findings?
