[Samsung Galaxy A32 4G] phone2kingl:
Hey,

I am contacting you because i have this device that i think is one of the less common - or case manufacturers did not want to create cases...... ; i have a samsung Galaxy A32 4G LTE EDITION device (SM-A325F).

I am looking for a case that is waterproof (because i had an accident , and hopefully - i mean by paying of course i managed to "save the phone" , and change the screen .....)

The problem is that i could not find ANY waterproof case that fit with A32 4G !!!!! (even on amazon and Alibaba)

The only thing i have found is a waterproof case for A33 that is approximatly okay but the buttons are not working....

So please someone help me !!!!

I am looking for :

- > a waterproof case for Samsung Galaxy A32 4G (SM-A325F) on Amazon /internet

OR

-> for a device that resemble to A32 4G and has the same dimensions and button position so i can use another case model....

I hope i did not make much mistakes..... I do not speak very well english and i have decided not to use any translators to challenge my self :)

Thank you :)

PS: i only found ONE case that was supposed to fit on A32 4G but it was an A32 5G model ......

PS2: All A32 5G case are not good and not FIT AT ALL on A32 4G (as far as i tested)....

Waterproof as for diving?!

You'll need to get a generic case or modify an existing one.

Otherwise simply use a zip lock bag with some air in it and a rag. Two bags can be used.

If the phone gets wet especially with brine water it will be destroyed!!!

With fresh water power ot down and pulling the battery immediately (them completely drying it) may save it.

Salt water exposure will kill it no matter what you do more than likely!
[Samsung Galaxy A32 4G] phone2kingl:
well , i don't know where and what generic case for A32 4G ......

And the bags are not the solution....The water enter even if it's closed...
[Samsung Galaxy A32 4G] blackhawk:
Quality zip locks work well.

You failed to state what your application is.

Dive cams are completely different...

[LineageOS Questions & Answers] suinosconosciuto:
my sm gt I9300I is rebooting every time I try to set it up on lineage os 20 saying its resetting its data. What should I do and what causes this?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TheDannemand:
Hey guys.

It's been a LOOONG time since I last swung by, and even longer since I was active here. I am amazed there is still activity in this forum. It warms my heart to see @Osprey00, @ChazzMatt and others still kicking... V30 really is a phone for the ages, and so is this community.

I still have two US998U (formerly Sprint LS998U), one on Oreo, another on Pie. I've been running Red Pocket GSMT (TMO) for many years, which still gives me VoLTE and VoWIFI thanks to an old SIM card. The US998 IMS doesn't recognize SIM cards from other carriers or MVNOs (or even newer Red Pocket SIM cards) so my options are limited.

But with enough data allotment, I have decided I can live with LTE data only, as I use Google Voice for almost everything.

I am about to renew for another 12 months and was wondering if there is any way I can take advantage of this this MVNO deal from InfiMobile: $99 for 12 months of Unlimited Talk/Text/10GB 5G/4G. It's a Verizon MVNO. I've never used Verizon.

First, I assume it depends on whether they will even activate my phone, given its LS998U IMEI. Unless anybody here has experience with InfoMobile, I'll have to ask them. Their BYOD checker doesn't recognize the IMEI.

Second, will it then work with US998 ROM? If I am merely looking to receive LTE data (and forgo VoLTE/VoWIFI), I don't see why not. But I appreciate thoughts from others who have Verizon experience.

Third, if I were to flash VS99630d_02_0821_ARB00.kdz, would that give me Verizon IMS support (VoLTE/VoWIFI)? Maybe a few more LTE bands? Any gotchas to be aware of?

I assume no custom ROMs have cracked IMS, which a brief scan of the ROMs section seemed to confirm (unfortunately). I would glad to be wrong in this assumption.

Thank you in advance for any comments on this. And once again I am very glad to see you guys again.

Update:

I seem to recall that a trick to activate non-Verizon phones on Verizon MVNO is to borrow somebody's Verizon phone for the activation, then move the SIM card to the V30 afterwards. Is that correctly understood and still valid? Will Verizon (and/or MVNO) keep the old Verizon phone tied to my number, preventing it from being used by whoever lend it to me?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Yeah, one "hack" was to either borrow a Verizon phone from someone or buy some extremely screen cracked old Verizon phone off eBay or maybe Craigslist? Activate SIM card then switch to another phone.

But with the new VOLTE rules the carriers have implemented, the temporary phone may have to be 2018 phones or newer to activate in the first place. I don't know for sure.

One thing in your favor is MVNOs typically are more lax in accepting older phones than the carriers themselves (since carriers want to sell you new phone).

To answer your other question, if you flashed to Verizon ROM it would convert the modem to Verizon modem and firmware. But the IMEI would still show the old LS998, of course. I can dig up the Verizon modem LTE bands vs the US998 LTE bands -- but I'm pretty sure you won't get any additional. You might get a couple less. 🤔 Because the US998 was also the "Open Market" model, meant to be compatible with all carriers.

Here are the US998 bands:

http://www.lg.com/us/cell-phones/lg-US998-Silver-lg-v30

US998

CDMA: 800 MHz CDMA

2G GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

3G UMTS (HSPA):850/900/1900/2100 MHz

4G LTE Bands: 1/2/3/4/5/7/12(17)/13/20/25/66
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TheDannemand:
Thanks a lot ChazzMatt.

You really are a trooper, still answering questions here after all these years. It's great to "see" you again.

I am surprised that having VoLTE should matter on the phone used to activate if one is merely looking for LTE data. Any phone with LTE support should work which almost any carrier, as long as it is unlocked AND the carrier allows its IMEI. But of course the carrier could decide NOT to activate if they know (of think they kow) that a given phone doesn't support VoLTE.

If I can borrow a suitable Verizon phone, I'll call InfoMobile tomorrow or Tue and ask how strict they are about activation and whether refund is an option if I cannot get it working.

Once activated, I wonder if US998 IMS already supports Verizon so I wouldn't have to flash VS996. It's supposed to support CDMA, including Verizon, so with a little luck it might.

Also thank you for the band list. It looks like US998 lacks Verizon's 700MHz B13, but does have their 850MHz B5. According to LG VS996 is no better in that regard. High penetration bands (low frequency) are important in the building where I live, but I often switch to WiFi only anyway when I am home (Airplane mode, enable WiFi).

If anybody uses US998 (or any V30) on Verizon, I am still very interested in any comments they may have.

Do you still use your V30 as a phone? And are you still on AT&T?

I just came home from visiting family in Denmark, and was shocked to see how much cheaper unlocked phones are there, despite it being a very expensive country in most other ways.

Service was always way cheaper there due to functioning competition in the market: $2.50/month for 300min/Unl SMS/5GB LTE/5G; no tax, month to month. But we saw excellent deals on unlocked Motorora, OnePlus, Pixel and other phones as well, far cheaper than here.

Thanks again for replying, AND for still being ChazzMatt!
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
One thing you could try to find with MVNOs is a data-only SIM. Ostensibly for tablets, it would fit your situation fine with Google Voice.

My wife went to Portugal for a week last month, and that's what I got her -- a pre-paid business traveler data-only SIM card, but with U.S./Canada/UK/continental Europe roaming agreements. 👍 Stuck it in her LG V35. 12GB data for 30 days, way more than she needed but I didn't want to take any chances. We both use Google Voice. She said she was out walking around Lisbon with her friends and her phone rang. Who's calling me? It was the Lisbon hotel to notify them something was ready. So, worked fine when out and about. Also worked fine during her layover in Madrid, Spain on the way home.

If you can find an MVNO which offers a data-only SIM card (preferably on Verizon towers?), then you don't need to worry about them accepting your "phone." 😉 You merely have a 6-in "tablet" which needs data!

This is supposed to be Data-only Verizon and MVNOs. But you may have to call to confirm. Going the websites I'm just seeing phone plans. But I know that some do offer them.

Best Data Only Plans on Verizon - MoneySavingPro

The key to finding the most affordable data only plan on Verizon's network is all about leveraging the competitive rates offered by low-cost carriers. You'll get the same Verizon coverage for a fraction of the cost. Here are the best value 5G internet providers to consider.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TheDannemand:
That's a great idea, given I am already willing to forgo VoLTE. Never thought about that.

As it is, I just ordered one month at InfiMobile for $5 (50% off), including a free SIM kit. just to test how it works before buying 6 or 12 months. I later discovered there is an even lower priced $2.50 plan (50% off) but I'll survive the extra expense...

My neighbor may have an old Verizon phone I can use to activate. I consider this a science experiment :p

Thanks again, ChazzMatt. I'll keep you posted on the outcome.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Yeah the only caveat to the data only plan is if at some point you needed a "real" carrier phone for banking security questions. About 3 or 4 years ago my major national bank stopped accepting our Google Voice phone number because technically it's VoIP. They had taken it for like a dozen years, texting me security codes whenever needed -- and suddenly one day they said this isn't a real phone number. I then gave them my carrier number, and they were happy. My wife had to do the same. So they were about the only ones that have my real carrier phone number because I don't give it out to anyone else.

Whereas both our credit unions are still quite happy with our Google Voice numbers. Go figure.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TheDannemand:
Exactly, I've run into that problem several times as well, when sites try to be clever about whether my GV number is a "true" cell number. Fortunately Chase and my two local credit unions accept my GV number. But Zelle gave me a ton of trouble when a client sent me money, choosing my GV number to identify me. Zelle happily accepted the transfer and sent notification to my GV number, but when it came time to receive the transfer, it kept refusing because it didn't like my GV number. The money was lost in limbo. The client had to contact Zelle and have them reverse the transfer, then sent me a check instead (she doesn't like Paypal).

I am a programmer myself from an earlier time and have managed teams of programmers most of my career. As brillant as some of them were, only a few had the ability to stay grounded on Earth and actually think through the practical usage of solutions they designed and coded. Interestingly, it WASN'T always the seemingly smartest who had that ability...

A bigger problem for me with GV is its inability to send SMS to foreign countries. And while my Red Pocket plan includes free international calls, GV charges for those same calls.

But overall GV makes my life a lot easier, particularly by saving me from typing texts on my phone.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Yeah for international calls my wife uses WhatsApp. It's "registered" to her Google Voice number (because that's her main cell phone number). And friends/family in other countries can find and call her. Also texting.

WhatsApp became popular in South America (especially Brazil) because cell phone carriers down there are still charging lots of money for texts. They don't have the ubiquitous unlimited texting/ unlimited phone call plans like we do here. Since your phone number was registered with WhatsApp, all your friends and family could call you or text you as if it was your cell phone -- but really it was coming through that app. Then video chat as well.

Facebook ended up buying them along with Instagram, because they saw them as potential competitors for another social network. Nobody here in the United States had really heard of WhatsApp at the time that Facebook bought them... But Facebook spies on your phone and can see what other apps are being used. They saw everybody and their brother in other countries was using this "WhatsApp." 🤔 What is this, why is it so popular? They investigated and got scared.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElenaXX:
Hi!

Here I am referring to the most recent Facebook mod, not the LCR one discussed somewhere on this forum (topic which was rightly closed because the author refused to offer support to the community), but rather the one you can find now in many places (here for example: https://apkresult.io/facebook-mod-apk/)

Well, I would be glad if somebody could reply to my simple questions, since the authors of those mods are impossible to contact (at least for one who is not expert...)

As a premise, my phone is now quite old and I shall really change it, it is a Samsung S7 edge with Android 6.0.1 - the worst phone I ever had but this is NOT the topic.

I have been used the MOD version 435.0.0.42.112 which always ran fine. Sadly, since some days ads started showing up again in my newsfeed :mad:, so I suspected it was time to update the MOD.

Unfortunately, all more recent apk versions seem "corrupted": Total Commander does not show the FB icon, just the generic file icon, and if I try to install them I get the infamous error "error with package analysis" (I don't know how it translates to English properly, I am Italian, I suppose it is "Error parsing the package").

I can't think they are all corrupted files btw, since I tried with several different APK sources and versions. And I can open them finely as .zip and extract the files with both Total Commander or PC, so I would NOT say they are corrupted. Please note that my phone is rooted, I always download and install apps by hand, I never used any store or google things, I always installed apps without problems, and of course I have enabled "Install from unknown sources." Anyway, upto v435 all archives were ok and installed fine, but more recent versions of this mod show no icon and won't install.

So my questions:

1. how can I discover the system requirements of an apk inspecting the files contained ? Is there any mean ? Because I should rule out that those apk won't install simply because my Android version is not supported. (Despite somewhere I read Android 5 in the system requirements, and mine despite old is 6.x)

2. is there any way for a newbie like me to get in touch with the author for support ? I really have no idea !!!

3. Any other suggestion on this topic as long as RELEVANT is welcome :)

Thanks !!!

Newer app versions are all 64bit and older android OSs can only handle 32bit apps
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElenaXX:
Ah... damn I don't understand why mail notifications do not seem to work here...

Sorry, I am not an expert, but how can I check if an apk file is for 32 or 64 bits ?

Also I find it quite strange that up to v 435 it still was 32 bits compatible and then the author switched to 64 bits so abruptly. Sadly those mods come with no system requirements, just tons of crap text explaining what FB is about lol
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Radulfr:
Google made all android apps that support a specific version or higher go to 64bit and if the mod author is modding FB then he'd have to switch too

Since Google only allows Fitbit to use the sensors, I am wondering if there is anything being developed to have rooted watches access these sensors to make them on-demand and see results faster. I would really like SpO2 to be accessible any time.

What would it take?
[Google Pixel Watch 2] simplepinoi177:
I really would like this as well! I think I mentioned it elsewhere on this forum that if I could tap on a developer to develop a method to have SpO2 on demand, I would really love it -- it really doesn't make sense that it will only do it while sleeping when something like that could be a vital tool; especially during COVID pandemic was at peak! That, and temperature sensor (hell, the Pixel 8 is able to, even without touching the skin like the watch already currently is!)....

Hi everyone,

I installed the global rom on CN oneplus 11 (PHB110) yesterday, disregarding the region lock error everything is working perfectly but I am unable to access fastboot mode anymore whether through the key combination or ADB command (adb reboot bootloader), it only shows fastboot mode then the device restarts with a vibration and goes directly to the system.

Additionally, if someone has the telegram guy who fixes the region lock please send it to me privately.

Those who tried the region unlock method whether the free or the paid method, are they permanent? I mean installing updates - performing reset factory - does it lock the device again?

Appreciate your support. Thank you

which is why root and open source is so necessary to the future of android, and the users need to demand it. google messages is NOT opensource. there is no messaging app on android that is open source and works with the next generation of messaging "RCS"

Android used to be about Adding functionality and user control, now it all about googles market share.

users need to demand that AOSP is in charge of android features on OEM devices and not Google. ( right now google gets to demand its software gets priority or they do not certify goggle play on a device, the Government needs to stop big profit corps from controlling all aspects of communication)

Somehow during my car trip (phone tethered to a car via USB) seems to have bricked my phone. Is possible to recover the files I have in the system?

TWRP or other recovery files will not work as they are locked. Unlock will fully wipe the device, and hence you'll lose the data stored in it.

The only luck attempt would be to flash the latest firmware without wiping. If it works, then great. Else your device is corrupted and will need a wipe. No other data recovery methods are available.
