[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] Himmit:
Prelude:

Product: Samsung Galaxy Tab A8

Model: SM-X200

I have tried to add another Search Engine (SE) but without having to download a app with who-knows-what in it. IMO:, there should be no need to install a app just to make a SE the default.

I know I can typo the SE into the URL each time I open and/or want to search for something that is not tied to Google. i.e. StartPage for example.

I know about SE's and am not interested in the pre-loaded 5 SE's.

QUESTION:

How may I make Startpage my default SE without having to use a "app" to slice and dice it's way to being the default?

i.e., Make the change in Chrome, sans apps?

Thank you for taking the time to read, I really do appreciate it,

In chrome, tap the three dots and tap the settings menu. When you go in, you can see the search engine is set to Google which you can change to one you like.

Gernal issue

Do you mean Kernel issue?
[General Topics] Andehh:
Hi All,

Seeking some expert opinions here, as the usual Mobile Network provider, their tech support, forum etc are hopeless!

My partner has a mate 20 Pro, on iD Mobile network in the UK. I am also on iD Mobile with a Samsung S21 FE.

Both phones have WiFi Calling enabled, which we need as we unusably low mobile signal in our house.

My WiFi Calling works fine, always on & reliable... but my partner's only ''engages'' 50% of the time, the other 50% calls don't come through, get bounced to voicemail or the phone simply blocks her from making a call.

Usual tech support channels etc insistent its he phone, Huawei would send us back to Network & online guides are full of the 'make sure it is turned on' or unhelpfullness.

Has anyone got any thoughts on how to improve what i imagine is a flaky handover/software weakness in the handover from low mobile phone signal to wifi?
[General Topics] Zxalilh:
It's probably because the Kirin 980 in the mate 20 pro has a modem that is weaker by more than two times compared to the X60 5g modem in the Snapdragon 888. Also, it might be because of your Wi-Fi router and not your phones.

Changing your partner's phone to a newer one like the s21 ~ s23 should fix the problem.

Hi there, I need help with Nokia 302, can't turn it on to download all the pictures.

When press the Power Button it is only flashing for 2sec and go back dark again.

Is there have a some program I can use to download the files from the phone without to turn it on?

ps. The new forum's design is confusing, can't find the right category to post my question.
[Nokia 5.4] mvikrant97:
Do you mean Nokia Asha 302?

Nokia Asha 302 RM-813​
[Nokia 5.4] Lolerhy:
yes
[Nokia 5.4] mvikrant97:
How did it happened in the first place?

Maybe the device battery is completely discharged and that is why it is not booting up.
[Nokia 5.4] Lolerhy:
I thinking the same way, but the problem if the battery is totally wasted. Even with charger pluging in I can't boot it.

I was hoping there have some program which can download the files under the OS. But maybe it is impossible. I don't want to buy a new battery just to download it.
[Nokia 5.4] mvikrant97:
I have attached the firmware below with the tutorial to youtube post. For flashing this firmware you may need to use Nokia Best BB5 Utility.

Or Else

You can try with Nokia Recovery Tool first to restore the phone firmware as shown in the video

The Nokia Recovery tool may have gone defunct because the servers are closed long ago but give it a try.
[Nokia 5.4] Lolerhy:
That method will not delete the photos right?
[Nokia 5.4] mvikrant97:
It will delete everything.
[Introductions] Himmit:
I am old enough to know better, but young enough to try anyway - even if I do get caught. :sneaky:

I used networks prior to the birth of the Internet - yes, we had networks, not chisel and granite to get message out and back.

What ever I say, I mean no harm, insult, shaming, racist, religious, colour, sex, gender, or political jibs or insult. If you think I did wrong - tell me /w snide remarks. I will listen.

I am not a religious person, but I will stand at your side to fight for your right to practice your religion.

Did I miss anything?

I taught computer sciences, but that was a long time ago. I'm always learning.

I'm a stauncher believer in we all have rights to privacy and that big tech is abusing that. I believe it's gone from "tracking" to 'Stalking'. I see today's stalkers as SMIRC'ers Stalk, Monitor, Inject code, Record, and Control the fastest growing and selling commodity on the Internet - you and I.

Yeah - I know - so why am I using a Googlized tablet? I'm studying it in a sandbox.

Lastly, I do my best to improve on my ethics, morals, unbiased thinking, and love to help others.

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] unexpected_usman:
Hi,

I purchased S23 Ultra from Pakistan, after 4-5 months, it just got finance locked, I came to know that I've been scammed with a financed phone from middle east.

I had all my important data in this device.

Is there any way to recover data from KG locked S23 Ultra (probably updated to latest version)?

By using some tool or anything?

I had my usd debugging on.

Not talking about google backup or google photos, as my google storage was full so it didn't backup the camera photos etc.

Thanks in advance for your time and help, really appreciate it.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] iss_daniel:
Did you find any answer to this?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JohnTheFarm3r:
There isn't a way to do it. Any kind of tempering with the device (unlocking with tools in this case) will result in a TOTAL WIPE. The only way would be for Samsung to remotely "unlock" it the way they locked it. The chances of that happening in the current state are next to none.

Be careful, as I remember that the Korean version of the SGS24 Ultra is running on the Exynos SOC. So you would have to install the OS from an Exynos powered device on it otherwise it may not work properly

same as last year all samsung ultras are snapdragon and for some reason the korean and chinese variants are in some sort of software lock i had the chinese variant last year and tried to change software through odin but kept failing and going through forums and such it was a no go so i take its the same with the new model

[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:

you might wana check out sanboxed gapps. They dont pass safetynet otherwise everything else works
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] GT500s:
I'm using this Rom from yesterday and it's very smooth. Battery life is very good but i think it's better in Evolution Rom. For me greatest option is smaller screen size that can be set Just like in LineageOS. I have problem with installing modded Google Play Store from LuckyPatcher but i don't need it for nów so i'm using original one. KernelSU is working and safetynet passes without any problem. Thanks for another great Rom Captain_cookie_200.

If you too almost had a stroke or cringe attack during bootanimation, just delete bootanimation.zip in system/media
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
sounds like your own skill issue but alr :)

boot animation is something you will only see on bootup once in a while when you decide to restart your phone due to an update or due to debugging if your a maintainer like me. Stop wasting your time to do something that isnt worth it
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Jbrimb:
Rom took 4 tries to flash. Without gapps playstore crashes, so does faceunlock.apk...

so i flashed gapps afterwards because it causes errors if you do it straight away, now It's bootlooping...

Customization is lacking anyway, I don't think it's for me

I've never had so much trouble flashing a rom, for it to boot once and to just not work in the end

hell, installing windows 11 arm64 on a poco x3 pro is easier
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] unins0:
Skill issue💀

Just use microG and Aurora/f-droid
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Jbrimb:
Cool story dude, actually I'll use a rom that works
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
you have to reboot back to recovery and then flash. This rom is not intended to be used with gapps anyway. Because it has something called gms compat.

Cellular is not working after flash 3.3

is it a bug or some step get wrong?

UPDATE it's happened on Project Elixir & PixelOS too

UPDATE FIXED

1. Relock the bootloader and use Xperia Companion software repair

2. Re-Unlock the bootloader and flash recovery, clean flash the ROM

Than cellular will keep in the new ROM
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:

Reporting on behalf of CaptainCookie200: Voltage OS 3.4 has been built and testing has proved this build is stable and battery drain issue from Voltage 3.3 as well as Dolby Atmos error is fixed expect new build either today or tomorrow. Have a nice day people
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Arch@ngel:
Hope for the following features in 3.4 or future updates:

Force 60Hz on AOD and pocket mode (at any brightness)

Thinner font on AOD

Changeable wallpaper in pocket mode (default black background for OLED protection)

Multiselect in Game Space Library

Fix the Wear OS (2) app resetting on every reboot

Fix wearable device Bluetooth pairing occasionally gets deleted automatically.

EROFS (...possible?)

Thanks a lot🙇🏻‍♂️
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
1. hmm well while the device does report 120Hz on AOD, the screen only updates when time changes. Thats my assumption for this and what i heard from a few others

2. That is dependant on the clock you use

3. I havent seen that feature in any rom before. interesting

4. Quite useful indeedm but unfortunately doesnt exist

5. Looks like a google skill issue? Thats not related to the rom

6. Maybe 3.4 fixes 5 and 6m but very weird

7. Oh uhhh about that . Erofs was working and i planned to ship with it However i judt couldnt see much improvement anywhere. so i didnt bother

Hey there guys im dropping every rom i have ever maintained for pdx206, pdx203 and GSI's after the recent el**xr drama. It was entirely unjustified and after seeing all of that i now know this commuinity wont appreciate anything at all no matter what is done. Hence this voltage os 3.4 build be the last from me for this phone unless i plan to come back which i prob will at some point. I'd continue to provide support but not with the same energy as before. I am really heart broken

Either way here are the changes:

- Implemented Xperia 1V's dolby (360 reality audio is broken idk why)

- Fixed Dolby eating high cpu

- Commonized all device specific parts into one menu under XperiaParts in system inside settings

- Rebased entirely upon lineageos trees (NEED CLEAN FLASH)

- Switched to 32 bit builds (NEEDS CLEAN FLASH otherwise apps crash)

- Included extra xperia apps such as xperia music etc.

- Misc fixes

Enjoy the build for those who care

Hi Guys,

I've developed a small application that will hide or show your SIM Contacts from the Contacts Menu. To use it, just put it in your phone and run the application. It will modify the registry to show or hide your SIM Contacts (depending on the current setting)..

Example, if you Registry is configured to show SIM Contacts, then the registry will be modified to hide it.

If the current setting is hide, then it will be modified to show it.

Let me know if you need further information. Thanks!!

Version 1.1

Added parameters :

/hide - hides the SIM Contacts

/show - Shows SIM Contacts.

Xiaomi probably has a preloader mode the same as Mikrotik chips, but I forgot the name of the program. Fastboot mode for unlocking doesn't exactly work on this model. But it probably doesn't cost
