I installed ADB AppControl and removed some bloatware. Apparently something wasn't as bloatware as I was expecting and I lost my wifi calling on AT&T. I wanted to know if anyone knew of the files related to that functionality?
I know I should ask in that ADB AppControl thread(and did), but I'm not sure how responsive of a thread it is(doesn't seem to be very so far).
If anyone happens to know, I'd appreciate the help, thanks so much!
Just go to the disabled list in adbappcontrol and enable everything
Did you disable IMS settings?
I was able to figure it out. It was a combination of the overlay app and one other "sec" app. Thank you

Im using a Samsung Focus bought from Rogers but using with Fido. It's NOT unlocked however, but works though.
I heard that MMS wont work if I use Rogers phone on Fido, and that's true, it doesnt.
But I have 2 other problems, and Im not sure if they are my Samsung Focus' problem or a Window Phone problem.
1) I tried the group chat feature for the first time a few weeks ago and turns out it doesnt work! When I try it out, it tells me there has been an error or something.
2) I noticed that when I go to the original Marketplace app, it doesn't show the updates for my apps. I remember it did before and it updated all my apps, but last month I found out some of the apps I had have been updated but yet the Marketplace doesnt tell me that and I have no idea how to update them. I have a lot of apps and I don't want to go through each one of them to see if they have updates and then reinstall; that would be terribly tedious.
So does anyone else have one of these 2 problems and does anyone know how I could fix them?
Thank you!
ETA: also just for your information, my Focus has the latest update I believe. the 7740 version
MMS works on ATT if you run att connection setup. Does samsung have something similar for rodgers?
updates should work... what if you use wifi?
Maybe something has them hung up along the way. hard reset to fix it?

I dont mind not having MMS. I dont use data, I only use wifi. Yea, so far, it seems like the only way to fix the app update problem is by resetting the phone. But i still dont know whats causing the group chat to not work; and yes, I did turn group chat on in the settings.
thanks for the reply
I don't know what to do at this point. I can't successfully receive nor send mms messages. This goddamn phone keeps causing me problems all the time with simple things...
If on wifi and mobile data is off it might do that
Hey I've rarely posted, but I had the same issue as you and thought I should shed some light!
Solution 1. Make sure your APNs are correct for your current carrier.
Solution 2. If AdBlocker is installed: uninstall it. Use Adaway, it doesn't mess with your localhost.
Solution 3. If neither fixes the issue, try reinstalling your radio by searching these forums(google is your friend) for flashable radios for your specific version of android.
Hope these solutions help!! Get back to me and tell me what the issue was for you

I did all those and neither worked, until I tried sending with the default SMS/MMS app. For some reason custom SMS apps don't seem to work.
I'm in a bit of a pickle. At some point in the last week I did something or put something on my phone that's now occupying my camera and preventing me from recording anything. Pictures still work. Whether this means something is recording, I don't know. I disabled the camera with another app, but that's no solution.
I'm not rooted. I need an app that can log at some level what apps are using my camera so that I can uninstall the offending app. My wifi also recently started disabling itself during use, and I can't figure that out either. If you know of something that can inform me on both problems, please do pass that my way. I've been unsuccessful on my end so far in my search.
I just don't have enough information to troubleshoot these issues, the only viable option I have atm is a factory reset, and that's not a solution, it's just a shortcut.

The same thing happened to me, Turned out Google Now was causing the problem however It's been resolved now for me as i have it enabled again
Allowing "Google Now" voice detection "From Any Screen" seems to be the culprit. Set "From Any Screen" to off to take videos.

It doesn't seem to have been fixed for me yet. I just verified that's the cause, that's a relief. I really like that feature, how unfortunate.
My wifi hasn't been disabling itself today, but how would I troubleshoot it when it does? It's a really annoying problem, I don't tend to use data.

I'm not entirely sure what's causing your WiFi problem, However to see if you can recover the Google now feature make sure your device is up-to-date and your app is up-to-date, Have you tried Rebooting the device :/ Really Not sure on the Wi-Fi buddy

Thank you, I'll post a separate thread if it reappears. My phone locks itself whenever my wifi is disabled or I'm disconnected from my home network, so it's quite annoying. Much thanks for everyone's help.

I have tried to make the edits the OP of the above thread illustrated but for the life of me I can't get any of them to work. Just curious if any of you guys have tried it and got it to work?
FYI the "hidden features" include things like Call Recording, Camera Sound Toggle, Removal of NFC icon and a few other things.
Didn't work for me either..
Only thing that kinda worked was the camera shutter sound can be gotten rid of by turning the ringtone or media volume off before starting the camera..
If you go into System-Media-Ui you can delete all the annoying boot sounds and camera shutter noise
So after messing with this stuff for hours i finally figured it out.
The guide tells you to alter system/csc/others.xml
however in my trials nothing would work - so i did my thing and found out at least on the sprint variant here you have to put the edits into this file --> system/csc/feature.xml once i did the edits to that file and rebooted everything works now, so try that out and let me know how it worked out for you guys
Ah, excellent detective work there. When I have a chance I'll check that out!
EDIT: I followed your instructions and I still couldn't get those features to work. I have no idea what I'm missing.
Where do you find the Wi-Fi Calling after you enabled it? Can you upload your FEATURE.XML file for me so I can compare it to mine? I must be missing something

I think the wifi caling option is in the phone app but i could be wrong sonce i dont use that feature. The only other thing i did was put my new code in the middle of the featre.xml instead of at the end and i made a new section that i named custom edits. From something i read somewhere u have to make sure your edits are before the very last few lines that say </feature> and </Samsung>

Do I need root for this? If not could you help be get voice with net working?

Yes you do need root, we are modifying a system file here. With sprints spark you can only get data and voice if your connected to wifi, or you are on a voip call which uses data so then its all the same. No other way around it.

OK so even with root I can't get voice and data without Wi-Fi?
Dear all, I am writing here because I have a very specific issue and I need to deal with it myself.
I have Xiaomi Poco x3 nfc, and I love this phone to bits. I never bothered rooting or flashing any roms so far because I was always happy with stock. Recently however, an issue has popped up.
Grindr, an app I use regularly, has recently pushed an update down our throats that cuts off your access if you are spoofing your location. This is a hazard for me, because I cannot have strangers know exactly how many meters I am from them. So far, I've been able to use mock gps fine, until this update. Mock GPS works even if your phone is not rooted so I used that. However, it no longer serves me now
How can I workaround this? Would root/installing a custom ROM, help with this? Is there a superior way of spoofing your location that Grindr wouldn't be able to detect? Please advise, I literally have no clue how to do this, the last phone I rooted and flashed was the Galaxy S lol. (Original one)
Appreciate the views but a response would be helpful. I can't be the only person on this forum interested in spoofing location

The app is detecting that you are spoofing the location. To bypass that in unrooted device, you will need to decompile the apk and remove the checks which do that. If you are in rooted device with Magisk, you only need to install this LSPosed module: https://github.com/ThePieMonster/HideMockLocation
If you can't find a modded apk or made one yourself, you will need to root the phone
Ok thx for the help. Will Grindr detect magisk?
Or maybe are you able to provide me with a modded Grindr apk?
Lastly. I'm in stock. Never rooted or unlocked anything. How do I get started?
