Hook

So this is strange and I can't figure out what to do about it. I can receive text messages but I can't send or reply. I don't send many texts, so my last text sent was Dec 14th which was the same day I discovered Verizon "worked." It appears to have been a test of send on Verizon, so I think it was working. I have been receiving texts just fine. Phone calls are good also, making and receiving. If there is a setting that affects this, I can't find it. I tested another SMS app (I use Google messages) but no change. I tested my Wife's Pixel 2XL which is also Verizon prepay and it worke

Actually, just holding the power button will get you a reboot.

I just wanted to note that I am suddenly starting to see this bug with much more frequency. Getting close to once a day. No, it's not terrible, an easy reboot, but I am concerned about the possibility of losing data if I am working on a document when it happens. Also, @EskeRahn can this thread be pinned so people don't have to hunt it down?

4 posts. That'll show him. 🤣 The change resolution drop down is nice. In Gallery Pro, that is on the main menu, not the editor and, yes, you have to type in numbers. I still don't trust Cheater Mobile. Or maybe I don't trust my firewalling skills. 😉 And I'm happy with Gallery Pro, but yes, I *was* very happy with QuickPic.

It's strange that Aquamail doesn't do PGP since I believe it was adapted from K-9. You might want to take a look at FairEmail (both F-Droid and Play Store). I haven't used it, but looks interesting and have been thinking I may try it. I don't use PGP and am pretty happy with Aquamail, but this has tempted me to think about open source more.

Doh! Apparently I have the Pro version. So long ago, I didn't remember and it only identifies itself as Pro on the about screen. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simplemobiletools.gallery.pro Lol. In fact, reading through the description for the non-Pro version, but apparently they are now only supporting and updating the Pro version. Of course, I can't see the price since I have it installed. I just know I've been very happy with it and I tend to buy Pro versions if I really like an app. Sorry, Sir.

A lot of the apps that are my go to apps are apps I have been using forever. I can't very well say they are the greatest apps, just that they have always worked well enough for me that I haven't been tempted to go looking for replacements. Also, I'm not an IT person. I am a writer (not published but something I've taken on in earnest as I approached retirement and a phone with a hardware keyboard fits well in my scalable write/edit anywhere plans. Otherwise, my phone is mainly a PDA My key go-to apps: DropBox - Really, this is the thumb drive in the sky that lets me keep all

Odd. Not what I get. I get a sliding bar of aspect ratios, a rotation arrow that does the 4 standard rotations and a finger slider that lets me to make any rotation I want.

If I'm understanding what you are describing, Simple Mobile Gallery does that as well-- Hit edit pencil, tap transform. It is pretty close to a free QuickPic knockoff without ads. Not trying to get you to change, just info for others. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simplemobiletools.gallery&hl=en_US

I would stay away from QuickPic. I used to swear by it, but it is now owned by Cheetah Mobile a notorious spyware publisher. I replaced it with Gallery Pro by Simple Mobile for which your description is appropriate. If you are using an old pre-Cheater Mobile apk, then you are ok, but folks should be careful.

I think the others above have been making this point, but while I understand this thinking (I also remember JFK), I think smartphones have hit the same CPU plateau computers hit in the mid 2000s. Succeeding generations of chips get faster on the benchmarks, but in real life, performance isn't getting that much better and, in fact, battery consumption may be getting worse for what little performance benefit you get. I don't think there is a lot that an 835 SD CPU and 6 Gb won't be able to handle for some time to come. For the same reason, I don't even care if I have the latest version of And

I'd guess their cheapest LTE capable pre-paid phone. 😉

What I was told was that the Pro1 could not be activated on their CDMA network-- they tried to do it and had to give up. The impression I got was that if it was an already approved Phone, it could still be activated on the CDMA network but not a non-approved, untested phone. (This was before January 1st). I also got the impression that it is only the CDMA network that requires some kind of certification or verification, not LTE. I agree with Richard that there is great variability in how good the techs are, but my shop is pretty good and I had 3 different techs really trying hard, So

I'm certainly having no problems with Magisk (first time using. My previous experience has been with SuperSU), Safetynet is good, no complaints from my bank app, Netflix works. The only thing that remins untested is taking OTAs. Have to wait for an OTA... 😉

I have ordered one that is much narrower and long rather than round and will see if that works out better. I'll take pics if it does.

That's pretty much what I did, as described in my earlier post in this thread: The tricky part is that they won't officially activate the Pro 1 on their network because it isn't certified by them. This was working with them in the shop. So my pro 1 has the sim from my Moto G6 and the network thinks my Pro 1 is my Moto G6 (which Verizon is fine with-- they know). It's something to do with, until they convert fully over to LTE and ditch the CDMA network, the phone has to be certified on the CDMA network still, but only certified phones are allowed. But, yes, the phone works fine as a

I tend to think Chen wouldn't have put this out there on his personal twitter unless he was very sure. But, sure, no one knows. There have been a flurry of TNs this morning, as promised, probably the small batch Erik referred to.

From Chen's Twitter...

Okay, that was weird. Noticed this morning that my phone wasn't working. No calls, no texts, etc. It occurred to me to try what @EskeRahn suggested above, but when I went into the phone menu, I discovered all the switches had been turned off. I switched them back on and everything is fine. It's tempting to think this was some side effect of rooting, since that is the only change I have made lately. I'm not sure how (these hidden settings are stored in boot sector?), and to be clear it may be coincidence. However, I would prefer that to be the case rather than "There's this weir

It does. However, as I don't use a case, it isn't a problem. In fact, I hadn't even noticed that-- it isn't by much and does not make a noticeable difference typing on a surface (which I don't do often). It has the advantage of giving me a little additional purchase while holding it and thumb typing ( right index finger wraps it). EDIT: Yeah, okay, so I failed to notice this was a thread about cases when I was looking at the magnetic USB posts. Lol. Sorry.

I am using this one, which works very well for charging and file transfer and ADB for rooting 😉 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Q3F33H5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I haven't had any of the problems described with the camera and in fact find it a good camera. On my unit, the thumbnail shortcut to my gallery always shows up unless I activate camera using the button while locked. Changing from rear camera to front camera in HDR works fine. Are you sure you have latest update (December 10th on mine)? I hope I'm not just lucky and this is a QC issue. By the way, the Yellow F key is just a Home key. It can't be assigned (I'm now using Nova Launcher, so I don't assign keys at all-- that is a function of the stock launcher)

I finally got around to doing the steps listed in the OP and it worked flawlessly. I'm now rooted with Magisk. Thanks, @Craig

On #2. The phone is compatible with Verizon but that doesn't mean Verizon is going to support it and there is very little a small foreign company can do to change that. Mine works fine where i am, probably because we have good VoLTE coverage and don't need Verizon's CDMA network, which is where the problems with Verizon arise. Knowing Verizon well, I anticipated the problem and made a plan B (AT&T Prepaid) when I made the decision to buy the phone. I am grateful my area seems to have good VoLTE coverage, so I didn't need my Plan B after all. #12 probably deserves it's own th

Yeah, I have a different preferred network set in settings (no CDMA). What you see in my screenshot was the default setting and I didn't touch it because everything worked after throwing the switches.
