[Apple] eudoxus:
hi, everyone

I am experienced in other areas (software/hardware) but new to mobile devices. I look forward to learning and someday contributing on development threads. Meanwhile I have a slight problem with an ipad. (A few years ago my wife insisted on purchasing an ipad since that was what her friends were using and she could ask for advice more easily.)

Recently the battery became bloated (probably from over-charging) and would no longer charge. I could not get the device to start using another power source (although I now believe it may have activated but the monitor display too faint to see with the naked eye). Authorized dealers refused to change the battery unless we first sacrificed the data files and since it would not boot we could not backup. I found a supplier willing to sell me a new battery, opened the case and the battery was replaced OK.

On booting we get the message "Upon reboot you must enter your PassCode:" I downloaded TenorShare which claimed to be able to solve this problem "without deleting your data" but on further inspection there is a screenshot that suggests this means "we delete your data but people who have taken a backup (which we have not) can use this to resurrect the files." So far TenorShare has been unable to detect the ipad device.

I would appreciate any ideas, comments or advice. For example:

1. Do you think the appearance of "Input PassCode To Continue:" screen was triggered by the battery replacement or are the 2 issues unrelated?

2. Is the "Input PassCode To Continue" block the likely reason why TenorShare cannot detect the ipad device or not?

3. Is there any way I can connect to the ipad as if to some USB storage via cable? Is there a protocol (sequence of buttons) for telling the ipad you want to access the storage only?

4. I know this sounds foolish but I do not understand the meaning of the ipad 10-keys. For example, key '2' contains 'ABC' underneath. Does this mean that if the passcode was 1A2B3C then you would type 122232 ? Or is there some way to switch the key input from numerics to alphas? (I mention this because we do have a scrap of paper with a 6 digit alphanumeric code that might be a passcode but input by the 122232 method does not work and we must then "wait for 5 minutes" to continue.

Best, E
[Apple] ZG_DEV:
This screen usually appears after a reboot I think:)

and yeah , it is the reason of why tenorshare could not detect the device
[Apple] eudoxus:
Many thanks. It is always good to have a second opinion.

Best, E
[Apple] eudoxus:
Just a quick update.

Regarding the meaning of the keypad symbols, Apple tech reports that if the missing PassCode (chosen/input by the user) contained digits ^and^ alphas then a "switch keyboard symbols" icon will also appear on the monitor to allow the user to switch input as necessary.

When no "switch keyboard symbols" icon shows this can only be due to the PassCode containing only digits.

Apple also said there is a total limit of consecutive mistaken input attempts (regardless of the timing) after which the ipad will make itself completely and terminally unusable. The signal that you have exceeded the limit is when the ipad no longer displays any keypad simply "this ipad is now unusable."

I was unsure whether to believe this last comment 100% and felt it might be designed to dissuade people from attempts at automated hacking.

However, given the situation it makes sense to minimize the number of PassCode guesses so far as possible.

Hoping this might be useful to someone else.

Best, E

Quick question. I have had my Tilt for almost a year now. I think its a great phone. I can do anything with it. But it doesn't seem to popular. I have never seen a commercial for it and I'm the only person I know that has it. Could I do better than the Tilt?

Is it just me or is Samsung/Google/T-Mobile (who?) updating the heck out of this free Samsung Galaxy A32-5G (SMA32-6U) phone lately?

Who is updating this phone anyway?

Samsung?

T-Mobile?

Google?
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] ElfStone:
Hey there,

Samsung is sending the firmware. T-Mobile might also do something to it and then send it over to the end-users.

Samsung dictates how many software updates a phone gets, not Google or T-Mobile.
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] chmod-rwx:
If I am not mistaken, Samsung did promise 4 years of OS updates for this phone. They're just keeping their promise.
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] GalaxyA325G:
Well, "somebody" (or a group of somebodies) updated my USA T-Mobile Android 13 Samsung Galaxy A32-5G (SM-A326U) again today...

The "Google Play system update" (formerly known as "Project Mainline/Treble") was updated by Google over the Internet to the "June 1, 2023" level.

And the "Android security patch level" was updated by, I think, Samsung &/or T-Mobile to the "December 1, 2023" level.

While the Google Play system update will be updated forever by Google, (supposedly monthly to all Android 10+ phones on the planet that are on the Internet), my Google Play system update is half a year old.

What is the date of your Google Play system update?

And when will Samsung/T-Mobile stop the quarterly security updates?

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] asdf2345:
The S8 G950F wasn't my first choice, but I know someone that said they would give me one.

I'd be wanting to use it on the Verizon network in the US, or more specifically TracFone. I can't find much on the subject of what firmware to use, or even a working website to download firmware without needing any account or other bs. I think I could use whatever frimware and just use a Verizon CSC, but I'm not sure how to do that or if it would even work.

I'll need to restore it to stock because it's currently using a custom ROM. I'll need some sort of firmware to get VOLTE working on.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] V0latyle:
The CSC has nothing to do with the baseband, so ultimately it won't matter - whether your device works on Verizon and how well can't be changed with firmware.
[General Questions and Answers] m1inibo:
Are there any apps or a setting that can limit the exact power usage of an android device (such as voltage or wattage)? I'm working on an android device that works on a (5v 2.2-3a) battery and I want to make sure the SOC and board don't use more than that maximum to prevent random shutdowns and damaging the battery. Is there any setting or app that can help with this?
[General Questions and Answers] DiamondJohn:
When you Over-Clock a CPU (in the Kernel source), you can set the Voltage required to support that frequency. Set the wrong voltage and the device is unstable. But, there is a small amount of control within the kernel source code and required a re-compile for my old device; I can only assume its the same for other devices as that is what is done when OC/UC'ing a desktop
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] g351427:
I just picked up my Fuze today and I have a question regarding the "Back" key. It seems to function as an OS key; it always backs me up to the last app I was using.

My old device was a Tmobile Shadow, before that an SDA; both WM standard devices. On those devices, the back key backs you up inside your app, then out of it. I had also loaded cooked WM6.1 ROMs to the both of them with the same behavior.

For example, when in IE, I expect it to back me up in the web history, then when I get to the end, to back me out of IE and back to the start menu. On the FUZE, it just dumps me back to the start menu. It makes it rather difficult to navigate inside of regedit.

Is there a way to adjust this, or will I just have to get used to this behavior?

Thanks!

Ciao,

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] g351427:
I could use that to back up through the history in IE; do I have to make a similar reg entry for every app??

I want to disable the virtual key function altogether; have it act like a real "back" key like other WM phones.

When I am in regedit, using the back dumps me to the last program I was in, rather than backing me up in the registry.

I tried to delete the key ChangeVKeyBackCode and it won't let me even though I am app unlocked. I could delete the entries underneath it (after backing up, of course) but it is still functioning the same.

Why this change, anyway? It seems to me that a lot of WM apps are written with the expectation of there being a back key, and now it's gone, and there doesn't seem to be a substitute function?

[Tizen Software Development] darkjujuvador:
Hi everyone,

Recently got my hands on Samsung's portable projector and was wondering if anyone succeeded in jailbreaking this to any extent. Ideally, I'd like to be able to perform basic unbloating and install third party apps, which I think should be possible since it runs Tizen like every other Samsung TV out there.

The device appears to have some internal storage for apps (though only a few GBs) which isn't accessible in any obvious way. This is made trickier by the fact that the only usb port is used for power delivery and cannot (?) data transfer, so any access would have to be over the network. The device comes with samsung's internet browser pre-installed so any browser-induced exploits are a possibility.

I'm willing to try and pioneer this if it hasn't been done before but I need to know where to start looking. I have experience in rooting android phones but I haven't had a samsung device for a few years now and I don't know much about Knox.

Thanks to whoever reads this

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pyraxiate:
Honestly, just the Fuze. My opinion though is to hold out for something better than the fuze. Comparing the two you only gain what......... a higher resolution screen. Everything else is the same. Still 3G, Bluetooth, wifi, GPS,3Mp cam,ect.

I think the Tilt will hold me over until ATT goes 4G. Its not as far off as everyone thinks. Sprint already has 4G in my town and resells it under the name of Xohm ( a cellular technology that connects to a router at home for equal or better speeds compared to Cable internet....Interesting really)

Hope this helps you in making a decision.

[Nothing Phone 2] Fast_Lessy:
Hi Guys

I know that this is the Nothing Phone 2 thread but I couldn't find a thread for the ear 2s. I have noticed something on my own Ear 2s and others Ear 2s. If the Noise Cancelling is on and it's bright outside, if the sunlight hits the Earbuds at the right angle there is a popping noise. It feels like the driver fully extends and then retracts, which can be quite irritating in the ear. It feels absolutely horrible when I'm on a train and drive past something that blocks the sunlight. I'm wondering: has anyone else noticed the same issue and is there a fix for it?

I haven't found anything regarding this topic on the Internet.

Your experiences or help is appreciated.

[Nothing Phone 2] Fast_Lessy:
Hey quick question: where exactly in the discord server do they talk about this issue? I only found one person that mentioned that the IR sensor gets confused in sunlight but in my case the problem stays even with in ear detection turned off. I dont know why there's so little information on the internet regarding this topic cause as I can tell I think it's an issue on all Ear 2. Two friends of mine have the issue with their Ear 2 aswell. Or is there more talk about this topic in the Discord, that I just missed? I'm confused cause mine and my colleagues ear 1s just cracked and broke apart randomly and I haven't found anything on the internet regarding that topic. It seems to me like only the good news about them is on the internet. For example if I have a problem with my phone, no matter how deep in the system, there is nearly always someone who had this problem before, but with problems occuring on all products sold, there is nearly nothing to find online. I don't get it.

Hey man,sorry for the late reply

apparently I misread "Nothing earpiece buzzing" as Nothing ear stick buzzing

Most of the partition's like the system,vendor, etc are read only by default and you can't mount them as Read and Write. There is a Magisk module to make the system, vendor etc make writable i.e. https://github.com/HuskyDG/magic_overlayfs

You can just install that module, reboot and remount the desired partition as rw from the terminal.

Though I'm not sure about what you want to do and I've never tried auto booting my device when plugged in charger. Doing the things I mentioned above should allow you to edit the lpm file.
