I admit I am a newbie.
Background- Had my wizard for a couple of weeks and love it. I have flashed several roms (Touch, Wis-Flo, SNN Diamond and TnT), for my needs I have to have tasks and calendar info on my today screen. So I settled for SNN Diamond.
My problem- at some point I set up an email push via SMS and now I want it to stop. I searched here and have tried reg-editing (even though there is no sign of the email account on my wizard), the email return utility, hard reset (clear storage) and even reflashed the Rom. Nothing has worked!
even more info:
I tried to reset the email up, change the collection to manual and then delete the account but that didn't work.
The SMS's come from "700".
Tried reflashing back to factory rom- Still happens
Flashed to SNN Diamond- Still happens
Is there someway to reset my wizard so this will stop?
Please help- the amount of spam hitting this email is killing me.
Thank you for your time,
Dan
I am sorry, but I cannot help.
I am replying though to give you the names of a few VERY smart people here who may be able to possibly help you. Just don't nag them and say I passed on their names.
First off, I believe it is Newbie who cooked the rom you mentioned. You may want to verify that and if so, possibly make contact for help.
its right is a brilliant person here, as is mestrini (off the top of my head--they have both been incredibly helpful to me in the past). There are MANY others here who are both sharp and capable, but I have never been great with names...so forgive me.
I hope this gives you a jumping off point, and you can make right this issue. I use a fairly old rom (by today's standards) it is Jag 3.1 by NTS, and it is pretty nice, but lacks any and all of the bells and whistles...but is really stable and quick.
Good luck.
Thanks for the info- I'm still a little hesitant to contact anyone.
I'm just a newbie,
Dan
your best bet is to contact your operator - this looks more like an phone company problem than a software, much more a hardware problem (instances of direct push buttons getting stuck have been accounted for, doesn't hurt to mention that). i imagine that you just need to have them unsubscribe you from that service or something. other than that, i'm all blanks.
As ditch_azeroth said.
This e-mail push service is a non-ROM related service.
You are subscribed to it, even if you would pop your sim into another phone you'll get those messages (and probably have to pay for them).
Thus reflashing your phone doesn't work, you need to unsubscribe yourself from this service.
Best regards,

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
That worked- took me all of 3 minutes!
Thank you again,
Dan

I've searched for this topic and any information on it and I apologize if I missed something in advance. I LOVE cooked roms, the only problem I have ever had with them is that they do not work too well with ATT navigator. I really enjoy this program as it gives me traffic and other features. I know there are other programs out there, but I would like to keep this one. With most cooked roms however, it always tells me that it cannot connect to the server. My "Quick" fix is to go into the comm manager and shut off the data connection and when ATT Navigator starts the data connection again, it's all good. I don't get it but whatever.
At any rate, I am just wondering if there are some other users out there who prefer ATT Navigator and if they have found a way to make it work seamlessly on a cooked rom, or a cooked rom that works well with it on its own.
Again I apologize for any redundancies, I hate them too, but I'd really like to have the best of both worlds.
Thank you all SO much for your help in this forum, I'd be stuck with stock if it weren't for you guys and your hard work!

Try going to Connections in settings. Hit Advanced tab then Select Networks. Make sure that both options say Media Net. Hope this helps.
Thank you for your help. I've played around every which way with the settings there before, but right now I'm just wondering if there is a rom out there with this already taken into account. I guess another question is, why are there so many setting changes like that in a cooked rom?

Try mine--I cooked it and I use ATT Navigator or Garmin which both require the data connection for traffic info. They both work great. I used one on one leg of a 2 hour drive I took today and the other on the way home and both worked perfectly. Use the most up-to-date version of my rom. I also am releasing a new version tomorrow night.
One other thing--always make sure that the proxy box is deselected in the media net connection...That will help immensely.
You asked why there are so many setting changes in cooked roms. Once you try the rom I link to below, you will understand why. The chefs tweak these roms to improve overall performance. The rom below is cooked with the objectives of stability, reliability and performance...which I believe we are achieving. You have to try many roms to find one that works for you. I have tried hundreds of them before I started cooking. I got into cooking to help mbarvian because his device was not working and he has done so much for the community and found out I really like cooking. Anyway, I hope that gives you some insight into why we tweak.

Make sure you read the first 5 posts...lots of info in there and report back. I have time cold starts of navigator with the quick gps data already downloaded and they come in under a minute inside my house...most of the time 30 to 40 seconds. Garmin is even faster.
Hi everyone
So I am new, not to the forum but new to the Windows Mobile platform. I am so excited about a new device but i've been so irritating to figure out how to remove some items on the today screen (not the start menu). I've repeatedly hard reset the phone hoping to remove some of pre-install softwares from att and samsung (Xpress mail, Instant Messaging, Att mall, Att music, etc). I have no idea how to put more or less item on the today home screen nor remove all those pre-install softwares. You little suggestions are much much appreciated.
If this topic has been asked already, please don't be upset and link me to the that existing threads. Thank you so much for all your help.
'Not new to the forum' (Join Date:Jan 2009), right!
Doing a hard reset will not remove the preloaded garbage from AT&T. That you will have to rip out yourself. You may be able to uninstall some of it from settings/system/remove programs but not likely. Most often you will have to use a file browser and delete the software itself and then do a registry cleanup. Or you can try a tool like SKTools or Pocket Mechanic.
Adding and removing items from your today screen is simple. Go to Settings/Personal/Today and uncheck anything you don't want on your today screen.
If any of this sounds too difficult, you have a lot more reading to do!

If in fact you are not new to the forum, then you should know that all the information that you asked about is contained in the wiki. Since you have AT$T, you have a TILT, FUZE ? Look in the wiki for removing bloatware.
Any many other answers to questions unasked.
I have ATT Samsung Epix (unlocked to Tmobile). I have tried several ways from hard reset and soft reset at the customization screen to visit all the folders and delete each individual file doesn't really help. I guess the last step would be using a third party software which will perform this task? or am I missing something?
I have noticed Samsung Epix has more ATT craps than any other phone, it bothers me so much >.<

majorassface told you exactly what to do, why don't you read???
Hi derekwilkinson, Go through all folders and delete each individual file won't help to remove these bloatwares completely from the rom nor give me more spaces. Secondly, I took a look at these software majorassface mentioned, and but I haven't tried them yet, I hope they will solve the problem.
P.S. I did my readings, and I tried the all the methods, most likely in the wiki contains no information about the epix. Hard reset and soft reset does not work on epix.
THIS IS BASED ON SUSPICION. TOO MANY COINCIDENES FOR IT TO BE LUCKY GUESS. I HAVEN'T READ OR HEARD OF A PROGRAM LIKE THIS. COULD THIS BE POLICE INVOLVEMENT?IF ANYONE HAS ANY IDEA EVEN A GUESS PLZ COMMENT. TIA SORRY FOR SPELLING
Recently I found that someone close to me had been using a purchased spy prog. Thanks to Google alerting me that unauthorized login and sync occurred.
I quickly recognized the phone found the program and cancelled their membership since I originally made the account/email address for them and they told me what password to use. But somehow that phone has continued to sync from their phone.
To this point I've been being safe; I've been messaging or texting lies along w/ truth. Yet somehow all that information makes it back by a simple slip up of words by the other person in house. They accidentally repeat in general something I mentioned in text/fb message/phone call/information/etc.
I've literally deleted everything I could find that was left after factory reset. (EVERY FILE!!) I had root and end up with a virus I couldn't remove & didn't want to factory reset. The virus took over screen and no matter what, I couldnt get it off. In the end, only way phone company could get it off was gain access with use of a computer & prog to factory reset. While talking, it updated from 6.0 to 7.0. So I'm going to have reroot.
QUESTION FINALLY: How can I remove or atleast find the hack or exploit ( or whatever it is) that is reporting or cloneing everything word & information? Yes, I've tried every possible virus/spy pro/spyware/malware/hack/exploit detector remover I read about. PLEASE advise.
The person( I suspect) is currently charged with domestic violence w/ prejudice, I cannot drop the charges they won't allow me. Due to it being domestic violence against someone disabled.
The person is beyond clueless about technology but their brother worked for govt many yrs ago installing, none other than CAMERAS. He now prides himself as being a computer expert & dev.(he's not bad at it). He knows LINUX exceptionally well. Also I found an old outdated voice recorder. I took it to a shop then to some who is genius with things he agreed. Both said it went with a small old spy camera. I have it still it. Since I am a "rentor/tenant" (correct if wrong) using audio with recording is illegal. Also video recording if used for a malicious or personal gain/pleasure without letting the person know is illegal. I'm a man so man things would have been recorded.
Quick Question...should I go ahead with rooting or wait?
PLEASE HELP AND IF POSSIBLE FIND THE FOOTPRINT HE MIGHT HAVE LEFT BEHIND. PRIVATE MESSAGE ME IF NEED MORE DETAILS ON PHONE INFORMATION

Hey there, got a few questions that I'm hoping someone knowledgeable could answer for me. If this should be posted elsewhere let me know, any advice would be great! DM replies are welcome.
I'll be vague but recently I've begun to notice inconsistencies on my phone that I share with someone very close to me. They are more technologically capable than I am and have so far protested their innocence. so I'd really like to know what's happening if at all possible, may be nothing but I don't have the experience to know either way.
1. Found a series of txt logs that I didn't seem to be able to open, they appeared - after my phone powered off - in my documents folder with time stamps that appear to be shortly before the phone was turned on again (images included below). What are they? I have never noticed these before.
https://ibb.co/DV512T4
2. Whether coincidentally or not I also noticed 2 entries in my notifications for "download.bin" and "unknown" each from before the power off however when searching my download manager, found nothing, what could this be? Come to think of it I have noticed very similar occurrences in the past however didn't think of it as odd until recently.
3. My notification history has reset about 4 or so times in the past few months, to my understanding this should only be possible when disabling and reenabling the setting - I am referring to the 24 hour breakdown. I cannot find any mentions of this and with other things I've noticed recently (permissions manager being accessed multiple times during the play time of one particular game interspersed with the use of chrome observed through app manager, empty notification categories etc). Phone has been out of my possession each time. Am I correct in saying that this is evidence of the data being manually cleared/affected, can I even find evidence as to whether or not that's happened? I have not found any information on the 24 hour breakdown disappearing other than "turn it off and on again to wipe" - If so, is there a way of accessing or restoring old logs so I can check the days where the history went?
I had a talk with the person about things like hidden apps, operating system changes and a load of other stuff that went over my head so I really don't know what to expect but I've since changed my passcode and restricted their access until I have a better view of how my phone's been used.
Final question, I've noticed a large number of screenshots and camera photos being taken according to my device care setting and history, problem is when I go to access my gallery, recycle bin etc - They aren't there. I haven't yet tried recovery methods as I am unsure about my options but advice on that one would be good.
Thanks for your time and any help offered in advance!
I remember a similar post not too long ago, that was almost exactly the same. Now it seems the same post, but posted as a first post of a new member. I find this dubious...
My advise: do not share your phone with anyone, especially when in doubt what they do with your phone.
If you are suspicious of what they may have done/installed on you phone, do a factory reset and continue with a clean phone. Before factory reset, back up only files/data that you trust.
Finaly, this post seems to have no relation with the S21 Ultra, so you're in the wrong forum.

This reminded me about my ex wife who always protested her innocence.
Do a factory reset (hard reset) and NEVER EVER give your phone to anyone!

Problem here is that I can ask her about things like this and get an "oh I don't know" etc etc. When you lack the technical knowledge to know for sure it's a real downer because frankly I could be staring evidence dead in the face and be unable to see it. Looking at these logs, what would you say is going on here? I need someone that actually understands this stuff to put my mind at ease, or alternatively tell me exactly what's gone on.
I've asked about the facebook downgrade attempt and simply got asked "Why would I do that, there's no benefit to it. Wouldn't even know how". I am not having a fun time right now lol.
Thanks a lot for your reply

You seem to have missed the point, the idea is to try and gain understanding on the log and to determine what process would have caused it to generate and contain the data it does over 3 months after purchasing the phone. I don't know if I explained that well enough so if so my apologies.
I don't know how to answer that myself so I used a public forum to try gain the answer, I don't feel like that's wrong?
Also this is a log from an S21 Ultra 5g so it made sense to post it there

Hi folks,
a family friend inherited an A22 from a deceased friend, but she did not have the password for it.
As I had never heard of FRP before, I advised her to reset the phone, which is how the FRP took effect. I now feel guilty for giving obviously wrong advice and would like to fix it.
I guess there is no proof of purchase for the phone anymore and all the passwords from the documents didn't work. A Vodafone employee advised me to scrap the phone, but I don't think so.
I found the software "**** your FRP" here in the forum and tried it, but the A22 is not on the list of Knox-compatible devices. Therefore, the code #*0#* does not work either and I can't get any further.
I got a little further with the talkback function. I was able to open the Google Assistant and navigate to Chrome or the settings. Unfortunately, I could not activate the developer options, couldn't navigate to the app settings or allow the installation of apps from unknown sources.
After about 8 hours and several attempts, I am at my wit's end. I have the deceased's email address and name. Unfortunately, this was not enough to reset the password. If I am informed correctly, his number has also been deactivated, so I can no longer receive SMS. I don't have the SIM card either, but I might be able to get it.
I hope you guys can help me.
Best regards,
Felix
Contact Samsung service / a phone service.
You could so it yourself, but the time needed will be too much
As I said, the people at Vodafone said you can only scrap it. I had read that you can get the device unlocked with the help of the proof of purchase, but no one knows exactly where the receipt could be.

I'm not in a hurry, I'm just looking for a tool to do this with, or instructions on how to bypass the FRP.
I can forget Google, as 99% of the results are scam and the remaining 1% did not work.
Ive heard that YouTube has just the right type of guide for almost exactly those probs, and by all accounts very very simple to follow, as I did recently on my sister's device she left at home, no longer wanted, ditched for an apple contraption. I will add, no one with nefarious reasons, stolen devices should use the helpful tools there. Getting a job and buying a device the bloody deviants should....damn the swines.

The problem with YouTube videos is that Samsung (and pretty much every other major manufacturer) has teams of employees whose sole job is to look through the internet for how-to videos and posts, make a note of how the trick/bypass works, and submit it to the software development team to be fixed in the very next update. That's why the how-to videos are full of comments saying "this didn't work for me" or "I don't have that option on my device".
There's a professional 3rd party business that I've used for things like this before. Discussion of paid services isn't allowed in the forums, but anyone who wants a recommendation can DM me
I completely agree mate, it's hit and miss, there are plenty of other sources out there. Just coincidentally, I found myself reading a comment that was the exact situation I was in yesterday. Obviously, not wanting the member to be struggling I gently nudged him towards a simple and 100% idiot's guide that will put him right. Admittedly a large majority of these things are countered/blocked or absolute bollox as I have encountered many times lmfao

Also mate, getting to chrome is most of it done. 4 files to download, 2 through the galaxy store which allows them to install, then through those, sorry, plus ios14 launcher allows you to activate unknown sources etc..it's not difficult. Worked like a charm. Just find the Samsung a22 5g frp unlock, activate unknown sources how to.
