Noticed more than once that Firefox stops working on 4G and will only load after switching to wifi and back. By 'not working' I mean I choose a bookmark and the screen stays blank. If I go to wifi it'll work and keep working if I then go back to 4G (4G as not a lot of 5G where I live + I usually only use wifi at home as I have more than enough data allowance for normal use).

Anyone else seen anything similar? It's happened maybe 3 times in the last month. Not losing sleep over it but also not too sure which way to debug. Hardware, browser, system SW ...?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] hand-filer:
I ran it for the last 4 months without issues on 4G, 5G or Wi-Fi. Recently switched back to Brave. I missed the speed.

Try wiping the cache files in the app settings. That usually helps.
[Android Head-Units] sunshinethief:
hello, I acquired this head unit back in January for my 2010 Prius, it is one of the Snapdragon-based machines equipped with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, and a 2000x1200 resolution 'qled' screen... a MASSIVE upgrade compared to the previous Rockchip-based unit I used previously.

however, the built-in UI/Launcher included leaves a lot to be desired, and achieving root on the unit would really be a boon... I did enable Developers Settings and confirmed that the Bootloader is available to be OEM unlocked, but am hesitant to try anything without some confirmation before proceeding, this thing wasnt exactly cheap.

here are some screenshots of the current software installed, can anyone help identify my unit and point me towards any resources, newer/better firmware, instructions for rooting, etc? many thanks in advance friends.

Download CPU Info off of Google Play. It will help you confirm your Android Version, memory and ram at least. Other apps like Aida64 are proving to be unreliable lately and accepting spoofed information as accuracy.
[Android Head-Units] Altair571:
This is an SPD head unit. The most common brand for these type of units is Ainavi. Take a look at the Ainavi H6 forum for newer firmware updates. Only install firmware that is for the G3986 model. There is currently no rooted firmware available, however, you are able to modify the system and data partitions with the stock firmware so in theory it is possible to manually root the firmware.
[Android Head-Units] sunshinethief:
thank you very much for clarifying this for me. I must admit I'm really saddened to hear about the rooting status... this unit wasn't exactly cheap ands a lot of the add-on accessories leave a lot to be desired, the bundled ADAS camera is hot garbage, isnt even usable on windshield due to the angle... and the installed OS feels semi rough, I guess due to the fact that its actually running some sort of modded version of android 10 masked to look like 13? I still don't understand how this practice is the norm when it comes to these units. shopping for this sort of thing on aliexpress feels like a dice roll Everytime!

I will investigate in the forum you indicated. and many thanks for clearing this up for me..!

"There is currently no rooted firmware available, however, you are able to modify the system and data partitions with the stock firmware so in theory it is possible to manually root the firmware."

can you provide any more insight on this, I would really love to get this thing rooted, access to magisk modules and Lsposed plugs would be truly fetch.

Your HU is very similar to mine. I’m looking to modify it in any possible way I can as well… I also noticed we have the same MCU version. Let me know what you figure out and I’ll be happy to do the same.

I figured out how to boot into Recovery Mode but, still trying to figure out how to navigate cause my unit doesn’t have physical or illuminated buttons. Old Apple Keyboard and Mouse that I’m using work but, don’t let you select or move anything in Recovery Mode. I will try a different keyboard and mouse when I get my hands on one.

Currently my Google Play Store isn’t working… and I’ve been trying to get that to work again! I’ve tried clearing Cache and Storage, etc but, still nothing! Also my unit has the 3D Camera but, It needed to be activated again cause it seems like after doing a factory reset it deactivated it, still works but, there’s these messages on the 360 screen when open.
[Android Head-Units] The.Invisible.Man:
Also you can try Fake Device Test app and see what info you get on your unit.
[Android Head-Units] sunshinethief:
hi friend, nice to see someone else with the same unit, do you have a Prius as well? my Google Play store works fine, so I'm surprised to hear your having a problem with it...

my seller actually supplied me with a link to a newer version for my (and your) unit the other day, and I am losing it because I can't download it to try! it's a link to a bunch of files on baidu.com / netdisk and I can't successfully sign up for a login without a Chinese domestic phone number... it sucks.

the newest firmware I can find in that disk (where I can peruse the contents but not download!) is listed as:

g3986_generic_Overseas_20240407_211627.7z

hopefully I'll find a way to get a hold of the file, I'll let you know how it goes at that time... btw, have you found out anything in regards to rooting these units?

mine is equipped as follows, snapdragon 6125 SoC, 8GB RAM, 256GB of storage, 2000x1200 QLED screen @ 10.1", 360 Birdseye cameras (that I haven't been able to get to work at all so far), 4G modem that accepts any tMobile SIM.
[Android Head-Units] The.Invisible.Man:
Hi brother! Definitely nice to see someone with a similar “oddball” hu as mine 😂

Oh nice! Is there anyway you can PM me the link to those files? I wouldn’t mind trying to download them myself and seeing if anything matches mine as I got my unit as a trade and I don’t know the seller but, the random sellers that I have contacted are not helping cause I didn’t purchase it straight from them. So if you could help with that in anyway that’ll be GREAT! 😊

and mine is equipped as follows, Qualcomm QCM6125, 64-bit ARM Cortex-A73 octa-core, Adreno 610 GPU, 2000*1200 12 GB Memory 256 GB Storage, 360 AVM Cameras all work, 4G Network (Unlocked with No Sim Restrictions)

MCU version VO.21.0 G14726

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Fluidic Ice:
Hi guys,

To put it simply, I made a mistake and deleted an essential system app (microG) from my working S10+ e/os install, rebooted and it failed to progress past the bouncing e logo or the moving bubble in Lineage.

I've spent a day searching through many, many posts looking for similar issues, but coming to the conclusion I need some tailored S10+ advice.

Aim: To recover my files from the device and learn something in the process.

Complications: The user data system is encrypted with FBE.

Phone: S10+

ROM: Lineage 1.9 (Started on e/OS)

Android: 12 (Started on A11)

Bootloader: Unlocked

Recovery: TWRP (3.5.0_9-0) (I've read twrp can cause issues with FBE in these early versions?)

Rooted: Yes (Magisk)

PIN Known: Yes

ADB: Works

Previously Flashed: dm_verity & multidisabler (I may have forgotten to wipe /data after flashing this)

USB: SD card files are visible on PC in recovery and internal storage shows sizes, but is blank when opened. Can navigate all files except internal storage in TWRP.

Jump to the next comment for the latest update.

What I've tried: (Best policy is to not touch anything and post first right?)

1. Flashing the exact same rom but was partially prevented by the encrypted user data. (Failed)

2. Unencrypting the file system via TWRP using the command interface in recovery, but it said decryption was not included in this trwp release. (Failed - no decryption built in)

3. Flashed 3 different types of custom ROMs (e/OS and Lineage) but all of them get to the animated loading screen which loops forever.

What I'm considering trying: (in order of least destructive)

0. Searching for ways to debug the boot process via adb.

1. Format /system (by changing to FAT then back to ext4) then flash the rom again.

2. Format everything except 'data' then flash the rom again

3. Decrypt and then flash the rom using modpunk's TWRP fork. (Impossible due to no decryption methods for S10+)

4. Finding and deleting the package-restrictions.xml file. (Tried successfully but no boot)

6. Flash old Samsung Stock ROM via Odin (very last option as I'll lose TWRP and root if it still doesn't boot)

Overall my question is: Can I recover the data?

I thought some of the 'data' partition couldn't be encrypted since it needs to load the login screen to allow you to decrypt the data files - if so why did the flashes fail and it still fails to boot in any OS? (Still trying to find which component/file is broken)

Please let me know if additional info is required. And thank you for even reading this. :) If it's not possible to recover, what mechanisms would you set up in the future to prevent this happening? (Disable encryption via dm_verity_no_encrypt?)
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Fluidic Ice:
Essentially the ROM is most likely being prevented from booting due to a mismatch in the package-restrictions.xml file located on the FBE encrypted part of the internal memory located in data/system/users/0. [Now confirmed that it's probably not something in that folder]

I've also tested loading various custom ROMs onto the device to see whether any of them boot to the lock screen. The include reloading the original e 1.8.1 A11, then Lineage 18, I then jumped up to Android 12 with e 1.8 (S) and tried Lineage 19. They always get to the loading animation which loops forever - a bouncing e logo or the Lineage "bubble bar"

I tried to update TWRP, but I had an issue with verified boot, so I had to flash the original version I had again.

My new questions are:

1. Would flashing stock help solve this issue? I know topjohnwu has stated that you should patch magisk before returning to stock or risk a brick. Mentioned Here

2. Would there be any other way to delete the 'package-restrictions.xml' file to allow boot? I would delete it but this file is deep in encrypted territory, data/system/users/0.

2b. Can I rename the whole data/system folder in TWRP and let the OS rebuild it? Can you even delete the files in a non encrypted folder which contains encrypted files? [Successfully renamed, but issue still persists]

3. How can the system even read encrypted files before I enter my password?

4. Following this line of thought from 3. - if the ROM and OS can access the file without my input then can a ROM or flashable file be created to delete the xml file during boot?

5. Is there an existing flashable file to disable the app restrictions check on boot?

@alecxs you've been a great help on most of the topics I've read on this subject, and you really know your stuff, do you have any ideas on renaming (so I can backtrack if needed) the WHOLE data/system folder?

The file recovery isn't essential (but highly desired), at this point I'm interested in learning how it all works and I see it as a puzzle to solve.

Progress:

I've renamed the folder in TWRP (/data/system) containing encrypted files and let it reboot. Still the same infinite loading issue. Android recreated some of the folders on reboot, but they were unencrypted.

Next to try:

Using ADB to get a logcat of the boot to pinpoint the issue further. (Does anyone know the commands to retrieve logs or to record the logcat?)

Hi,

I have been searching and looking for something to replace the mechanism for notifications on my TP CDMA (Sprint).

When my calendar notification, SMS notification or voicemail notification activates, its a tiny icon in the status bar at the top, which I have to tap multiple times and then I get the annoying HTC status screen and then I need to tap the icon for VM, or alert to see what my notification is...

I find this very annoying and its easy to miss important notices.

Isnt there a better way? Ideally, something that would automatically play a ringtone and display a window on the screen (even after standby) until I dismiss it....

Does anyone know of something like this?

Thanks!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Scrtcwlvl:
If you go into Settings -> Sounds & Notifications -> Notifications

You can configure how the phone notifies you about each event, so for a SMS you'd set for it to "Display Message on Screen"

Granted this is not a huge amount a flexibility and a lot of the time the pop up dissapears and one would have to click up at the status bar again to get it down, yet it is still options.

I haven't looked into differenet notification programs / systems as I am quite content with the stock ones just changed to my liking.

Personally, I hate the pop up, always comes up in the middle of something and just gets in the way.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] mexiken:
Is there any way to actually change the look of the bubble ???? I'd ideally like it to be centered on the screen, instead of at the bottom. Also, if you looked more like a bubble, or something else, that would help too. I've been Googling around for about half an hour, and have found NOTHING except changing the bubble color on iPhone and some apps for changing those.

Why aren't there any on WM ????
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Kraize:
Francarl is working on trying to change the look of the bubble :) Check out FingerMenu in the Dev & Hacking section. It should look something like that if it works.

Hey, i have used PhoneAlarm for a few years with past phones, just loaded it on my new Verizon TP, works great as usual. It is not free, ($15 i think), but has been well worth it. Google PocketMax PhoneAlarm (you want the pro version). It is very customizable (skins, custom sounds and intervals for different events), has profiles that can change alarms based on your location, meeting status, or manual selection, and supports TF3D. It also supports a popup on new event and with the notification softkey that allows you to easily click and address the event. I started using it because it allows custom repeat alarms (different sounds after a certain period of time as well as custom intervals). I needed something to alarm pleasantly a few times then an obnoxious alarm every 20 seconds to wake me while sleeping. I'm a paramedic in sometimes remote locations dispatched via this phone, so i NEED to get messages. I've tried several others and always come back to PhoneAlarm. Just my 2 cents...

Usually if the devs updated their apps to target an above Android version, it's unlikely they'll choose to revert this (due to API, features and security reason)

I just don't understand why signal check says LTE when my phone says 5G? It also says NR frequency unknown in the radio info screen shot. Anyone know why it wouldn't know I'm on 5G?
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
IMO you can trust your phone's status bar indicator more than the Signal Check Pro app. Here's why:

App Limitations: Signal Check Pro might be reporting on the underlying LTE connection that's often used in conjunction with 5G (called Non-Standalone, or NSA, 5G). This app might not be optimized to pick up the newer 5G signal information (NR).

Phone prioritizes visual cues: The phone manufacturer has direct access to the latest network information and prioritizes displaying the accurate connection type (5G) in the status bar.
[General Questions and Answers] MitchRapp01:
But when I'm on 5G+ (ATT NR bands), signal check reports I'm on 5G (NR Bands)....and my data speed is more in line with typical LTE speeds when I'm on regular 5G (SOMETIMES....other times I will be on a 5G band that signal check reports).....other times I will get speeds that are more typical of a 5G connection (even if it's not 5G+)....also check out this reply from the developer of Signal Check I got on reddit last night....Signal Check reply on reddit

Plus check out the radio info screen in my second screen shot....it says data network type: LTE (even though it says 5G in the status bar)....and for NR Frequency it says unknown.
