Resetting phone, unlocking?

.....
However when setting up i skipped the setup and never signed into my google account on either phone.
......

Unless you've gone through the process of loading a custom, third-party ROM on an Android phone, the first time you start it up the setup process requires you to enter a valid Gmail address and password. It's not something that you can just ignore and skip past.

When you just did the Factory Reset on those phones,what you should have done is go into the Settings menu and remove your Google account first, and then do the Factory Reset.

Help Change Knox Guard State

lol.....the op already has a post there:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/how-to-change-knox-guard-state-from-active.4520279/

so a "custom FW" means a custom firmware, correct? which basically means you have a custom rom installed, yes? if so, do you have a custom recovery as well?

Its actually a stock firmware which is basically an intermediary FW to prepare the device to be flashed to the final FW of this provider. However, to flash the device to the final FW, I need to get rid of this Knox Guard in Active state. Not sure how to do it. I tried somethings I saw online like changing the date to avoid the 7 days lock in period but got no luck.

32gb phone + micro sd 64-128gb expandable storage use

The camera has an option for saving to sd card. And files select all photos has an option to move all to "internal storage" im guessing if i had an sd card inserted then it would possibly have the move to sd card option.

That would leave me with 22gb taken up with 7 apps i use that dont come installed on the phone and 10gb free.

One thing i will say is my zte quest 5 would often crash and this one has snapdragon 662 processor either 2.0ghz motorola had told me and seems alot faster then the 16gb quest 5. It is a bit larger by 1.5"

Possible to cast from Android smartphone to Chromecast 3 without use of dedicated WiFi/router



This looks promising...!!

Nice. I'll try this out as soon as I get the time.

Also a big thanks to all the others in here, sending advice and even screenshots.

Thanks so much for helping out and pointing me in the right direction. :) Highly appreciated.

And apologies for answering a bit late but I was a bit tied up in the past days.

I'll report back here with the result.

Thanks to you all once again...!:)

How Does Google Assistant Track Stocks Daily?

Somehow I set up my Google Assistant to track a particular stock symbol every day, and Google sends me the price as an Android notification once per day. How do I maintain that stock list?

Various references online suggest you need to maintain a watchlist on Google Finance. That is definitely NOT the source of the stock I am tracking. My Finance watchlist has a short list of stocks created years ago and Google Android seems to have no knowledge of that list, or at least it does not use it for daily notifications.

In "All Assistant Settings" there is a section named "Stocks" but when you enter this section there are no controls, and nothing is listed. It looks like the section has been disabled somehow.

So where in Google Assistant am I supposed to maintain a list of symbols to track daily? I am running Android 13 on Pixel 6.

How do I disable emergency calls in emergency mode

This is going to be a problem. Emergency phone calls are an integral feature to all smartphones so disabling it will be difficult.

It's not managed by the Lock screen, nor is it a function that you can tweak elsewhere in the Settings menu. Nor a parental control app. The thing is, even if you remove the SIM card, Emergency phone calling is still functional, it's a part of the phone's firmware. Inside your phone, soldered to the main logic board, is a cellular radio chip. That's what your phone uses to link itself to a carrier's cellular network. Your SIM card only stores your account info with your chosen carrier, it authenticates you to use their particular cellular network to get online access. So even without a SIM card, Emergency phone calling still works because again, it's that cellular radio chip that does the actual connection,

There's also a hypothetical issue to consider. even if you were able to easily just block Emergency phone calling on their phone, if something were to occur and your child can no longer use their phone in an emergency situation, that's a potentially bad trade-off.

Tmobile simcard from redpocket compatible phones

AH OK THANKS IS IT POSSIBLE FOR SOMEONE TO STEAL MY IMEI AND ATTEMPT TO REGISTER IT SOME TWO BIT JIHADGEE HAKER OR SCAM ARTIST?

ALL OF MY PRIVATE INFORMATION HAS BEEN REMOVED CORRECT? DONT WANT ANYONE STEALING IT.

See i have a zte quest 5 as well 2 of them i used but is locked to qlinkwireless. Qlinkwireless programs the sim to the one imei. I had dropped it a few weeks ago cracking the screen but when attempting to put it back in my old qlink wireless zte quest 5 it reads "INVALID SIM"

I used that phone with service cutoff qlink sim for wifi home use and messenger apps. Qlink wouldnt let me register the other imei to that simcard that would work with wifi just couldnt call out as my service was cutoff.


I asked if they could unlock it to use with my new t mobile gsm network simcard said all qlink phones stayed locked as well as i think tmobile.
Boost will unlock their phones after 12 months of service even on prepaid network and consumer cellular told me after one month of service they could unlock their phones.

Now with that being said a t mobile locked phone use to just need my original simcard from 2006-2016 i was able to use the walmart off the shelf tmobile phones with my old simcard would function and operate without any need to contacting tmobile to change imei. Just pop in locked tmobile phone t mobile service simcard and go.

Now this is a redpocket simcard that operates off t-mobile network gsmt or gsm t-mobile.

Not sure if a locked t-mobile phone would function with the sim or not.

I think the TCL 30A phone is nice its a bit smaller 5.5" i think and not 6.5" and has 3gb/32gb same as the g power 2021 just not as big of a phone.
