Marked it for you. Google sometimes makes it confusing whether you are activating Google voice search and assistant. I think it is silly, but there you have it. Once you set up assistant, IMO, it should supersede all google voice prompts. But I don't think it does.

Android Studio - no Internet connectivity when using "run-as"

W
Hi -
I am creating an app using Android Studio on my MacBook and need Internet connectivity. When I start up Studio, then install my app which starts up the emulator, then "adb shell" from my MacBook terminal. At this point I have Internet connectivity in that I can do "ping abcnews.go.com" and get packages back. However, when I do "adb shell", then "run-as com.example.myapplication", I find that "ping abcnews.go.com" no longer works. (note: I need to do "run-as ..." in order to have chmod capability). I will add that a search online showed that if I start my emulator up with "emulator -avd Pixel_3a_XL_API_29 -dns-server 8.8.8.8", it gives me Internet capability, even after starting "run-as ...", however, this makes me go through a "...r.cloudfront.net" server which looks to be an AWS server. So I'm wondering why I lose Internet connectivity after starting "run-as ..." in adb shell? I'd rather not go through that AWS server if I don't have to. TIA for any information anyone can provide on this.

well you can put the phone in safe mode which prevents 3rd party apps from running. this will help to determine whether an app is causing your issue.

you can also do a factory reset and see if that helps. if that does not work then you might have a hardware issue and you might need to take the phone in to your carrier.

Google Messages - Issue with MMS images S10 on AT&T to iPhone 11 on Verizon

svim
Do regular text messages (SMS) go through in a timely manner and it's just MMS messages that are a problem? Or are both a problem?

If the latter, the problem would appear to more with some kind of carrier issue (i.e. how your messages are being transferred between AT&T and Verizon) than your phone or the Google Messages app.
If the former, it might not be a matter of messing with your phone so much a matter of Google's push to have its own RCS protocol take the place of SMS/MMS. Granted both SMS and MMS are very dated protocols and because of that are not able to keep up with current technology but at this point they are still the only two standards that all text messaging services still include at least some support for. The problem being Apple has made it clear about not allowing its iMessage platform to support RCS so that goes back the issue of SMS/MMS still being the tenuous link between Android and iPhone users. It could just be some carrier-based glitch issue with on-the-fly file conversion of the attached file.
If there's an option to disable RCS in the Google Messages app try that, or think about switching to a different texting messaging app that isn't forcing one to always use RCS

Dear Google Voice

Clementine_3
You can assign a ringtone to GV, it has to be a contact. If you have it set to show as a GV call it'll use the ringtone. This, of course, doesn't help at all since you won't be able to see who is really calling - just that they dialed your GV number.
I'm guessing it's hard to make the phone recognize it's GV and then go to contracts again to match it up, it's one or the other I'd think.
I love GV but that is something that does bug me...

Qmobile Q Infinity . Need Stock Rom

ocnbrze
well if it is just the qmobile inifinity then you might be SOL.

let this be a lesson learned. one of the most important tool a rooted phone should have is a custom recovery. once you have a recovery, the very first thing you need to do is make a nandroid backup. this a a complete backup of your phone. this is needed in cases like yours where if something goes wrong, you can just go back and restore a backup. there are other things you can do with recovery, but this is the most important.

also some other things to think about if when it comes to rooting:
1. for me having a developer community that supports your phone is a must. developer's are the ones who come up with ways to root your phone. they are the ones who develop custom roms and custom recoveries.

just remember no devs=no fun

2. check if there is custom roms for your device. custom roms are cool. developers take out all of the unnecessary bloatware. they usually optimize their roms to run a lot smoother.

3. if i want to get a device and i want to root it, i usually do my research first over at xda developers forum if they have a section for your phone, that is a good sign. if they do not have a forum for your device....that usually means there is no dev community.

and like i said no devs=no fun.

4. and the very last thing is to do your research and plan for everything. look for guides to help you root. and once you found a guide that works for you then read, read, read, and then read some more.

i really wish i can help you out, but you picked a phone where is not much information out there. maybe see if you can get in touch with your provider and see if they can dig up a firmware you can use. if they do have one, keep in mind that it might unroot the phone.

good luck and keep us posted.

Help not compatible due to the carrier firmware package on that particular SKU

S
Hello all. I don't see a sticky on what information you need so I'll post some and follow-up as needed.

Model: SM-G965U Verizon (default time unlocked by Verizon)
Hardware version: REV1.1
FCC ID: A3LSMG965U
SERIAL: RF8KC...
Phone status: Official
Android Version: 10
Baseband version: G965USQU7DTA8
Kernel version: 4.9.186
Build number: QP1A.190711.020.G965USQU7DTA8
Service provider SW ver: SAOMC_SM-G965U_OYN_VZW_QQ_0008_4559465250413098


I am attempting to move from Verizon to Visible (a Verizon subsidiary). My IMEI did not check as compatible with Visible and this is what the level three rep replied with:


Quote:
"I did some digging and it looks like we have compatibility with*most*Galaxy S9+s. I double checked your IMEI and it is not compatible due to the carrier firmware package on that particular SKU, apologies about that!" :End Quote


[1] What is the suggested solution to change to a carrier firmware package that will work?
[1a] I believe you change this with Odin?
[1b] The Samsung Unlocked version does not work with Visible.
[2] Will it require to setup the phone again?
[3] Will Samsung Pay / Secure Folder still work?

UPDATE: I have data and mobile hotspot working with my S9+, but still no phone calls or texts. Keep that in mind if you need an unlimited device for data.

Thanks

M5 lite mediapad

Hi,

I have a question regarding the Huawei M5 lite 10 inch mediapad. All reviews online say it comes with an M lite pen. However I cannot find a UK retailer who sells it with the pen. Customer support have been useless, assuring me it's in the box when it's clearly not. ...
Click to expand...

Given this model is being sold and marketed with an included stylus pen and you're stating, "...when it's clearly not" if you bought one and there was no stylus pen that would indicate something got screwed up when the unit was being packaged. A stylus pen is legally owed to you and you don't have to go out and buy one of your own.
If you haven't bought one yet, how are you able to determine that there is no U.K. dealer selling this model without one?

Edit: If customer support wasn't able to provide you with a stylus pen after your purchased this tablet, don't waste your time and ask to speak to a manager.

You're on a higher Android version than me, so that could be a part of this puzzle. My Moto Z² Force has never done what you're describing.

Does it matter which apps you're running, or does this problem happen regardless?

When's the last time you rebooted your phone?

Well ever since I figured it was Slacker Radio causing the troublesome and disable it, I have no problems what so ever right now. I just went into the App Drawer and figured it out, right now it is pretty great though, tested it with variation with different apps .
