[Google Pixel 8] Jasonious:
Hi Folks

I have a new Pixel 8 on TMobile and neither I nor anyone on their help desk can get my voice mail to activate. I get a generic "Can't activate visual voicemail" error message. I have tried all the usual: Stop phone app and clear data, update phone app to beta, disable vmm in the phone app and re-enable....never activates.

Interestingly, I tried disabling vmm in the phone app and then installed TMO's 3rd party VMM app. Same "Can't activate" message.

I'm rooted, so I thought it might have something to do with props or the PIF used to pass play integrity. I tried disabling and still no love.

I tried adding the phone app and phone services to the DenyList...Still doesn't work.

I booted in safe mode and still no activation.

I've run out of ideas.....I have read other folks have had issues with TMO and VMM. Anyone have a workable solution or something new to try? What is it about the (my) pixel 8 that TMO is not picking up? My old Pixel 5 worked flawlessly.

Thanks.
[Google Pixel 8] mangokm40:
There are a lot of threads about this.

I lost VVM from TMobile when I updated from LineageOS19 to LineageOS20 (early 2023).

You can read some info here (a CalyxOS issue):

https://gitlab.com/CalyxOS/calyxos/-/issues/402

The strange thing, of course, is that the solution is supposed to be TMobile's app (which I can't use).

[General Questions and Answers] nolfaster:
I just find that the Wi-Fi module (that works with Wi-fi ofc, SIM, IMEI and etc) driver is only for 4.4.X android version.

I will hope that someone here or in world wide web will import module ver. to work on newer androids
[General Questions and Answers] Msi_laptop:

The "problematic" is 5.1.1

In the IMEI cheking is just the android dialogue with just IMEI and... done. No number as well.

I can't send picture because im using Cyan 11 (4.4.4 KitKat) (it's working pretty well but i wan't ROM to Cyan 12)
[General Questions and Answers] nolfaster:
Yes i did it in EVERY ROM'ing, no IMEI (only 5.1.1 not working well) problems in stock/Cyan 11 ROM
[General Questions and Answers] Msi_laptop:
That's means you corrupt the IMEI. But there is way to fix it problem you have.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nodevderrick:
But why not, BIGWORM? It was just a little plugin, afterall...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Oswald Boelcke:
It was a link to a paid app on Google Play Store (actually for 2.09 €) and it doesn't matter if it's just a "little plugin". We only allow links to paid apps if a version exclusively free for XDA users is also made available.

I hope I was able to anser your question.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nodevderrick:
I'm unfamiliar with that app. does it use the paid feature, " Jobs " with the settings guardian function like by4a.setedit22?

besides that, the discovery of the fix described in my post may be a step forward in 4As development.

there's no reason not to fix 4As Setedit, even if there's an easy out substitution.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] AiTakako:
dude thats the modded version im veteran in modding it has more features as Jobs you can also save and relpad saved jsons, and editing you can everything also adding new stuff, also an Search function <3

I tried to install io.github.muntashirakon.setedit on my S23 Android 14, but the package manager reports " app not installed, it's incompatible with your device ".

too bad. I was eager to try it out. you know any way to force install an apk? I don't think Bugjaeger ADB will do it. It's been impotent since the update.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] AiTakako:
i have Android 14 too do you tried redownload version 2.3?

well at the end ur right, doesnt matter if use official setedit or mine

do you disabled play store protect?

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Morgrain:
"After taking the top two spots last year, the Pixel Camera swept — in order: 7a, 8 Pro, and Fold — the MKBHD 2023 Blind Camera Smartphone Camera Test.

Marques Brownlee posed for three pictures: Standard (regular daylight), Night (low light), and Portrait with 20 of the year’s smartphones.

20 smartphones have been randomized and assigned a letter. All of them take the same photo. You’ll be shown a comparison side by side, and you pick the better photo until a statistically significant winner emerges.

This produces an ELO rating, which is most famously used in chess but also basketball and other sports. In terms of average ELO, the 2023 family of Pixel devices swept the blind camera test. Brownlee noted how it amusingly went from cheapest to most expensive ($499, $999, and $1799).

Results:

1. Google Pixel 7A: 1660	11. OnePlus 11: 1487
2. Google Pixel 8 Pro: 1655	12. Asus ROG Phone 7: 1473
3. Google Pixel Fold: 1613	13. Asus Zenfone 10: 1472
4. OnePlus Open: 1585	14. Oppo Find X6 Pro: 1472
5. Samsung Galaxy S23: 1568	15. iPhone 15: 1463
6. Samsung Z Flip 5: 1551	16. Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra: 1463
7. iPhone 15 Pro: 1550	17. Fairphone 5: 1449
8. Vivo X90 Pro: 1536	18. Nothing Phone 2: 1388
9. Samsung Z Fold 5: 1504	19. Xiaomi 13 Ultra: 1363
10. Moto RAZR Plus: 1502	20. Sony Xperia 1V: 1240

In regular daylight, the Pixel 7a (1735 ELO) won the top spot followed by the Pixel Fold (1721) and the OnePlus Open (1690). The OnePlus 11 was 4th (1686) and the Pixel 8 Pro came in fifth (1672). The iPhone 15 Pro had the lowest ELO rating (1187) with an overall darker photo, while the Samsung Galaxy S23 came in 19th (1203) with an overexposed shot.

The iPhone 15 Pro won the low light test (1651), while the Pixel 8 Pro came in second (1625) and the Pixel 7a third (1608). The Pixel Fold was in sixth place (1544).

In terms of portrait modes, Pixel 8 Pro won (1668) followed by the Z Fold 5 (1663) and iPhone 15 Pro (1651). The Pixel 7a was fourth (1638) and the Pixel Fold 10th (1574)."

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Ultimoose:
I saw that. It points out two key things IMO. Software is critical to this win. And Google needs to be concerned about hardware equivalency because other companies with better on paper hardware can improve software after a phone releases. You can't improve hardware in shipped phones.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] danw_oz:
This sort of thing is very subjective, 99% of these people would not have calibrated devices, therefore colours, contrast, cast and other variations could play a large part to the sway in any of the results. In addition any daylight for true comparison the photos should be taken instantly at the same time, not at different times when clouds would/could play a big part to the photo.

In that first test, IMO the Oppo shot has a grey/green cast, and lacks details in the shadows, compared to others rated after.

What is most interesting is the vast difference in the skin colour.

[Sony Xperia 1 IV] JackHowgate:
Bugs with A14 I have come across since updating last night:

1. AOD Album art doesn't update

2. Recent apps animations buggy with 3rd party launchers

3. App animations buggy in general

4. App launch animation too fast

5. Screen-off behaviour during calls seems a little buggy

6. YouTube playback causes UI to run at ~15 Hz (refresh rate indicator still says 60 so no idea what it's actually running at, definitely less than 30 though)

7. AOD clock/indicator alignment is all over the place (this was the case on 13 as well but it's even further out of whack now)

The update also removed all widgets from my launcher for some reason so keep that in mind if you have a lot of those that took a while to set up...

Interested to hear if anyone else is seeing these things or has any other issues, or knows how to resolve any.
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] guhvanoh:
I'm still waiting (UK)...
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] kinggo2:
1. AOD Album art doesn't update

but that was a case with, 12, then 13 and now it looks like 14. It works until it does not. Regardless of the player you use. The same goes for that notification controls. And it's usually one song behind. So, it does refresh but with the song that has just ended.

7. Maybe depends on the type you use, mine looked fine and still does. Or I am not seeing anything wrong with it.

What seems to be broken now is that waving over the sensors does not turn on AOD briefly to see the time or notifications, Have to do double tap or press power button. Or they changed some settings and put that somewhere else because that's mostly whats happening with each new android versions, we get more and more confusing and bloated settings and options that probably even guys at google could not really explain.
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] AlexP1!:
So i'm not the only one where waving over the proximity sensor doesn't activate AOD anymore since the Android 14 update.
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] kinggo2:
yeah.....tried every option, a few restarts and it works only on picking up the phone in the upward position. Picking it upside down does nothing. So much about "smart activation", it's the same as "show when device is lifted" now.

[Sony Xperia 1 IV] hakkai999:
Mine cuts off after the Android 14 update. I'm hoping the next update fixing this cause it's annoying AF.
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] kinggo2:
...and new update did not fix the proximity sensor
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] hakkai999:
It didn't fix the bluetooth/audio issues either. I only managed to get my bluetooth to be acceptable after reflashing the firmware twice in a row. Audio is still wonky where one source stops working and only works again when you prompt the next track on whatever audio source you're currently playing (Spotify/Poweramp is what I used).
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] kinggo2:
hmmmm......i'm using mine regularly with earbuds, headphones, car and 2 portable speakers. And it mostly works fine with all of them. Sometimes my soundlink mini tells me that it is connected but the sound still comes from the phone. But that's about it. Now, that speaker is ancient and had a ton of paired devices. To lazy to reset that one or look for newer FW if exist so it is what it is. But I'm definitely way more annoyed by the fact that proximity sensor does not wake up the screen anymore.
