Help tcl tab pro 5g FRP authentication loop

Cant provide any help myself. But it sounds like TCL's MDM is a rather half-baked, from what you're describing. Perhaps your organisation is better going with something like Samsung's Knox Manage for MDM and corporate mobile device fleet?

Motherboard Upgrade to Run Modern Android?

If only Project ARA had become a thing.

Desktop computers can often have their mainboards and CPUs replaced with newer, if they follow PC industry standards like ATX and microATX. But of course there's no similar industry standards for laptop computers, tablet computers, and smart-phones. Every device is proprietary and does their own things.

Root [ROM][2.3.4][SuperLite][LG Ally] SmallDroid v3.0 FINAL - Updated 8/03/14

Hello I'm new here but I was wondering if anyone saved this rom anywhere on their drives. As of now the rom is considered lost media due to androidfilehost not having it right now. It seems stock android 2.3.4 is available for it however due to the age of the phone all the extra bloat takes a toll on the storage space. Any reupload would be great for not only the history of the device but pushing out any sort of functionality on the phone in the year that I'm typing this, 2023. Thanks in advance :)

Help "Can using an Infrared Towel Warmer provide any health benefits?

What benefit would heating a towel through radiation rather than conduction (putting it on a heated towel rail) bring?

I'd have thought that a hot bath would be more effective, because the heat capacity of a towel is very small compared to that of a bath of water and so the warming effect of the towel will be smaller and much shorter.

Recovering text messages from 3 or 4 years ago?

No, if you don't have a backup of your own they are gone.

Technically messages only need to be stored on a server until they are delivered (up to some maximum time). Once that it done they are deleted. Many people would not regard it as desirable for the carrier to keep a copy of their personal communications.

In some countries the carrier may be required by law to keep the messages (or at least records of who messages were exchanged between) for some period of time after delivery in case the police or security services turn up with a warrant. But that doesn't necessarily mean that they'll release a copy of the message to the phone user even if they have it somewhere. And the records will be deleted once the statutary period expires, because storing them costs money and the company receives no benefit from doing so.

In the case of ATT they say that they keep the records of who messages were sent to/received by and when for some period, but don't store the message content at all. So in principle you could get the phone number, but 3-4 years is probably too long in the past. I've seen a message that you can log into your ATT account and look for text logs in your usage section, but that the record will only go back 16 months (I'm not an ATT customer so can't verify any of that).

Linux for Mobile? How good is it, and does it give the Android experience?

I have heard of postmarketOS. It gives both a desktop/android experience as shown in its wiki
Perhaps, but that doesn't necessarily make it the Linux-Android hybrid I'm hoping for.

#1: Can it run Android apps? That's the most important thing. Windows, to it's credit, can do that.

#2: Does it have the Android/iOS style swiping and launcher? Windows doesn't, it has it's own swiping system and lacks a tablet-style launcher.

#3: Can the Google Play store be installed onto it? It can't on Windows.

#4: Does it have the desktop-style minimize/maximize/close buttons at the upper left? Windows does, and that makes it poorly suited as a tablet OS, because it's easy to press the close button by mistake.

Bromite browser still maintained?

so after doing some research looks like the dev who is now doing the project is called uazo and he is still doing test versions. he just posted one from 2 weeks ago.

and you can follow the discussion over at xda:

BuzzKill app not sounding the alarm

I recently installed BuzzKill, and I want it to do something specific regarding the Jiobit app.

Jiobit is a GPS tracker my cat wears on her collar, and it the associated app on my phone gives me an alert if my cat runs away from home.

The problem is that Jiobit's notifications trigger the exact same sound file as an incoming text message, or any other notification. Since it's a pretty big deal if my cat gets out, I want to hear a special alarm in the unlikely event that my cat does leave home.

Therefore, I created a rule in BuzzKill that says any time Jiobit sends me a notification containing the word "left", an alarm should sound. This is because the relevant Jiobit notification would always say, "Mona has left home."

I have tested this by removing the cat's collar and taking it with me when I leave home.
Unfortunately, this triggers Jiobit's normal notification (with the text message sound), but does not cause BuzzKill to sound the alarm I wanted.

The thing is, BuzzKill *does* recognize these notifications as matching my criteria, because when I click on the rule I created, those recent Jiobit notifications show up in BuzzKill's list of notifications that match the criteria.

So BuzzKill can clearly see the notifications, but it's not sounding the alarm.

I should mention I did try just having BuzzKill sound an alarm for any and all notifications Jiobit sent me. That works, and the alarm does sound. But I don't want to go that route, because Jiobit does send me notifications unrelated to my cat's whereabouts. For example, it will send me a notification when I've been charging the battery on the GPS tracker and it's full. I don't want an alarm to sound when the battery's full.

Thank you in advance for whatever ideas you might have for how to fix this.

PS: I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S9, model number SM-G965U, running Android version 10. It is not rooted.

Is there a forum for Maps.me?

Thanks for the information. I tried 3601 Plymouth Rd (rather than 3600) and Maps.me found that. 3600 is a building housing two rental car agencies, etc., which Google Maps is able to find. I see now it's helpful to try other nearby street numbers in hopes that Maps.me/Open Street Maps lists those.

I'm interested that you use OSMand+; I think I will give that (or OSMand) a try.

Help I accidentally removed "Samsung_default" under User Certificates. How can I retrieve it?

Accidentally removing "Samsung_default" user credentials can have consequences. It's a default security certificate used for authentication and encryption. To restore it, go to Biometric and security > Other security settings > User Certificates, and look for an option to import or install certificates. If it's not available, contact Samsung support for assistance.
