Hi people,
Some days ago Qualcomm said that the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 has an intergrated iSIM (eSIM).
Now i see people want to know more about it, and thats why i stuff this question on the forum here.
Has anyone checked, or is anyone able to check if the iSIM is able to be enabled by only a software update, of hack?
More information from Qualcomm:

While mobile technology continues to advance at a breathtaking pace, security solutions must also evolve quickly to address increasing security challenges...

I think it has to be enabled with Oneplus itself. Usually i thought e-SIM is separate from the processor but Qualcomm as you have shown has support for in-built iSIM in their processer.
Oneplus themselves have to utilise this feature with the guidelines that Qualcomm would've outlined in making ROMS that can utilize the feature.
If there is a hack that can utilise it, I’m not sure it can be created without thorough knowledge of the ROM and the way the iSIM is implemented in the specific processor.
There is a pdf detailing about drivers and uses but I'm not sure how it can be implemented.

Hello guys,
I have been searching, studying and asking people already about this, but couldn't find help.
I recently bought a Xiaomi Mi Band, for those that does not knows about this great device I will say It's features, It is a wrist band that uses bluetooth LE (Bluetooth Low Energy):
- 3 multicolor LEDs
- Vibration, pedometer and other sensors
- 30 days battery
- IP67 cert
And all this with an official price of $13.
Sadly, this device got a very poor official application for now. It just acts as a pedometer and leaving It full potential away.
I have thought on making an application that makes the wristband to vibrate/turn on leds when a notification comes out for the phone. I have more ideas but this would be already awesome. Unluckily the official app does not offer any kind of SDK or API so I find myself in a dead end.
I have a lot of experience in Java but not in Android's app, my idea is to sniff the packet sent by the official app to make the band vibrate and replicate it in every notification the phone receives, then implement a white/black list so you can choose which ones are allowed to do so or not. Just this would give an amazing life for such a cheap, beautiful and useful-probably device.
Thank you in advance

Thread Closed. Thank you.
So I am going to post this here, because the development section is ferboten to people trying to offer useful suggestions. Geez, I hope this is the right section.
Let me set it up. ANDROID IS BASED ON THE LINUX KERNEL. Everything, and I mean everything after that fact becomes android and bloat. Given this as the basis of all things android, I have a simple set of guidelines that should be used to create a solid, reliable, bullet proof operating system for devices able to use the android operating system.
#1. Create the kernel boot section of the basic platform that supports the very basic hardware features, including touch screen, radios, power/charging/battery management, wifi, bluetooth, nearfield, audio, microphone, s-pen,etc. Basics only. Root access is standard and can be turnd on/off just like developwer functions. No special tricks or addon hoops to jump through.
#2 At this point STOP. Every single process or service to be run on the device from this point forward should be able to be individually selectable - or not. Yes, I understand that individual services or apps may have dependancies to other processes and that thouse need to be functional in order for a particular app to work. That is why, each additional service or app must list the dependencies and in the selection process, the installion will be required to verify you have the proper services installed and functioning, if not to list them and allow you to make the decision to proceed. Viola, we have NO MORE BLOAT WARE.
#3 Make selecting additional services/apps selection process a menu driven, tag selectable process. Make the unselection process smart to verify and identify the other apps dependant on the item you are killing/removing.
#4 Allow a built in snapshot option to capture the entire system as you have customized it for yourself and allow it to be backed up to external memory with the ability to bring it back, AT WILL. With no big hassles.
Those 4 items are a good start. By themselves alone, it would put all of us in the drivers seat of controlling and living with our devices.
I am aware that such a system is not for everyone. It does require some basic technical understanding of the process. But for the vast majority of users, I am certain, that an a la carte system is far superior to the bloated monstrosities being forced down our devices.
I would appreciate any refinements to my suggestions.
The silence is deafening. It has been days. Kind of says something, don't you think?
I am so very happy (not) that these boards a compartmentalized to the point where you can't get through.
Pretty much a waste of my valuable time, especially considering the fact that if my suggestions where applied, people would be clamoring for an installation with those features. I guess there is not much true "developer" in xdadevelopers anymore.
Funny guys, with the pay to remove ads spam here. Really? Why? For what.
I leave here disappointed. Not angry. Just sad.
I'm not a developer so I have nothing valuable to contribute to your suggestions in your original post but I can offer an observation regarding your perception of the level of contribution to your thread and that is the fact that is particular area of the forums probably isn't the ideal spot to have a discussion such as this. You figured that out already so sure you can call me Capt. Obvious if you wish but I'm just pointing out that yes the forums are compartmentalized (as you've stated) in such a way that development for each device is separated out. This development is centered around AOSP based ROMs or "stock" ROMs (using manufacturer released source) so if you're looking to have higher level discussions about what AOSP should look like then deep down at this device specific level probably isn't where you want to be. So there's that . . . then there's the fact that for this particular device you can basically hear a pin drop in the sub-forums as it is since nothing much is going on by way of development.
Where specifically such a discussion would see more input I'm not sure, perhaps the main general discussion section?
Thank you for your sobering reply. I get frustrated. Already had my post bounced out of "wrong" forum while trying to speak directly to "developers" (i wanted air quotes because the term does not accuratly describe its target) So I tried this. The note pro 12.0 is still the best hardware giving the ipad a run for its money. The problem its monkeyshines kiddie software running it, or not running, or barely running it. ANDROID, indian word for crappy wannabe software, developed by clueless kids.
Again, thanks for the gentle nudge. I appreciate someone willing to conduct a conversation
Are you looking for an Ubuntu or SUSE type of setup?
I think what you are looking for is similar to apt-get type of installs, I could be wrong of course. This might be helpful for many "users". I think one of the barriers is that there are slight differences between the models of tablets, and creating the logic to put in for the sub-dependencies might prove problematic. You might get more answers to this possibility by asking one of the developers directly and sharing with them. Not a developer myself.
Hi,
I want to know if i encrypt my Galaxy S7, if it's possible to remove lock screen with dr.fone toolkit ?

Hello,
The Galaxy S7 has multiple variants and builds. Normally when asking this kind of question, you should include the model of your device. That way anyone wanting to help you actually has the knowledge to be able to do so. Phones have different internal parts, memory space, and so on. You can find your model number by doing the following:
- slide down the notification bar, sometimes you may have to slide down twice depending on the device. Click the gear in the upper right hand corner. "Settings"
OR
- Access your app drawer or all apps section and find your "settings" section/app. Most of the time it will have a icon of a gear, or three lines that resemble on off switches. Older androids sometimes use just have three lines (as the settings icon)
- Find the section labeled "About Device / Device Info" its usually labeled something similar if not exactly. Open this section
(Galaxy phones usually have this section at the bottom of your "settings" section)
- Somewhere within this section, there will be a label that reads "Model" and that is your specific variant which is needed in device specific situations.
* Take Note of this for future reference. You might think okay ill remember that. But when you come to realize your devices model number may be XDA-2017T1 and you look for something pertaining your device. You will also find something like this:
XDA-2017
XDA-2017YP
XDA-2017YP2
XDA-2017T0
XDA-2017T2
XDA-2017T10
Assuming that you will continually update and/or customize your phone. You will probably just memorize this, along with other important information. Some important things you should include while researching is as follows (the top two are very important)
1. [Model Number] ex) XDA-2017T1
2. [Android Version] ex) 6.0.1 Marshmallow
3. [Baseband]
4. [Kernel]
5. [Chipset]
6. Is device "rooted?"
7. Is the bootloader unlocked?
8. GSM or CDMA. Older devices even use IDEN
Those are only some.
* I also want you to know that im not trying to lecture you, or give you a hard time. I am honestly trying to help you and in order to successfully help you I have to ensure that you know things, or mention things, that is important to do. So your device isnt broken, or you get information that is correct but incorrect for your specific device.
But back to the topic originally referenced.
Q) "Is the program Dr. Fone able to bypass the screen lock security measures on the Samsung Galaxy S7?"
A) Based on limited information that is device specific, and the current Supported Devices section from Dr Fones documentation
"No"
• Dr. Fone doesnt have the capabilty to bypass your screen lock. They will probably include the S7 within a period of time due to it being a main stream phone though.
• Remember this; locks can and will be broken. Just because a vulnerabilty hasnt been exposed or discovered doesnt mean that its 100% secure.
• Keep current with OTA updates, keep in tune with tech type news.
• Encryption is vast subject, but I can refer to it like the "invisible magical ink" That was popular in the 90's. The light that reveals the ink to the naked eye, is your password. The inabilty to see the ink normally without a specific tool, would be encryption. So if someone cracked your password, your encryption would also be disabled. I linked more information below, for you to read. I still dont fully understand encryption myself, nor do I believe or trust it.
I based this information assuming your device is the SM-G930. It is accurate as possible but not guaranteed. Do realize with the information I mentioned and with the question you asked. I was able to do a simple Google search and almost immediately found the answers. Try to figure things out before you ask in the future. You can repeat the process of not researching prior to posting but typically your post will die. If you get stuck and have put forth honest effort, the great people here at XDA will probably help out greatly. I hope I have helped you, and you now feel better about your concerns. please pay it foward.
If you feel ive helped or gave a honest attempt to help. Hit the thumbs up, that is the thanks button.

I'm sorry, I completely forgot to mention the model of my S7, it is the SM-G930F on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow, thanks for answering me.
On the other hand, I'm disappointed that a commercial program can unlock a phone.
I hope that this way of circumventing the locking of smartphones will be solved, because malicious people could use it to unlock phones that do not belong to them ...
The only way to protect yourself from this program is to install an application that protects personal data.
Thank you again for answering!
Wondershare Dr. Fonefor unlooking thr screen.
Wondershare Dr. Fone is a powerful instrument to regain iPhone lost information, it can help scan and recover them from iTunes or iCloud copies in case you've got backup your iPhone into iTunes or iCloud, or it helps you regain contacts directly from the device. Besides it's harmonious with iPhone 5s/5c/4S/ / 4/3GS and it might recover 18 kinds of content such as pictures, videos, contacts, messages, notes, and phone log, voicemail, voice memos, calendars, reminders, etc.. :good:
I agree with you. A commercial program available for a few dollars can unlock a password protected phone. What is Android/ios waiting to solve this threat?
It is widely known that Whatsapp does not support dual sims in one phone. There are numerous workarounds for this (some more shady then others), but that is not what I started this thread for.
I am asking myself why Whatsapp does not support it. I mean: the amount off questions and information that is spread around the internet clearly indicates a wish for this feature from the users, and to be really honest: it can't be that difficult to integrate it in the app (just allow for a second phonenumber to be authenticated, that's basically it...).
I have searched for the underlying reason why Whatsapp does not want this, but I can't find anything on this. Does anybody know why this is?
I'm looking for information pairing bluetooth hearing aids with the 8T. Evidently there is something known as ASHA that the phone needs to be compatible with.
My problem is, I just got hearing aids for the first time and the app from the manufacturer connects fine to the hearing aids and allows me to control the volume but it does not stream audio to the devices.
Anyone with knowledge of this?
Go into accessibility, hearing enhancements, hearing aid support. Your Bluetooth should be on and link it to the device.
Does the aid manufacturer have an Android app?

They do have an Android app. I was able to find in the accessibility settings an option to enable hearing aids, but so far still no streaming audio.
Look in Developer options too.
Sound and connection settings.
Android tends to bury advanced settings well.

I think I'm finding out from the manufacturer of the hearing aids that it's only compatible with Androids with a separate device that goes between the hearing aids and the phone.
What do the specs for the hearing aid say?
There is only a small statement on the manufacturer's website that lists the devices they are compatable with and the 8T is in their list. It is compatable with their app that controls the volume of the hearing aids. But there is supposed to be more options like streaming media and phone calls. I'm just going to have to switch brands of hearing aids to one that works because I am not switching to an iPhone, I refuse!
You'll need to do some heavy reading to sort this out. I know very little of the protocols and what's available. Start doing searches and collecting links etc...
I am in the same boat - I have an Umidigi A9, and the Chinese devs have not yet included ASHA support (even though ASHA is available as of Android 10). I am exploring the possibility of rooting my phone to manually include ASHA support.
Do a Google search for "Android ASHA compatible phones" and see what devices your manufacturer supports.
Samsungs tend to have user and bt friendly/customizable UI's, however not sure if this extends to ASHA devices.

You might find something specific for that device on the Samsung or similar forums.
The Samsung one is fairly large and occasionally helpful. Not the right manufacturer but it may give you some ideas.

Sorry for another response/question - the Samsung forum is HUGE, with a ton of subforums. Have any specific forum in mind that I can post to? I was not able to find a general Samsung forum - seems like I have to pick a specific product first.

Use Google search, that's what I do.
Just add "samsung forum" or such to the search.
Playing around with the search parameters may lead to other sites as well.
When I tried a search not a lot popped up, but I only tried for a few minutes.
Try this search if you haven't already: "One plus phone,ASHA (Hearing aids)"
