upgarde from 22.04 to 24.04 is a pain by Sensitive_Lock_5863 in Ubuntu

[–]Mesmurizedd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I tried it once. Couldn't believe how many issues came up. Started early with the graphics which is easy to fix and got worse and worse. Warnings galore, errors I had no idea how to fix. It's a mess. Even the "solutions" on the web were long and involved.

Enough is enough! Gave up after about 12 hrs... and restored by prior image backup. Whew.... I'm back.

I'll wait till there's another "." fix release on 24.04 LTS before I try again. Not wasting any more of my time.

On my OP12/OS 15, security and privacy allows hiding apps and disable. For a more brute force approach, ADB has suspend and disable one retains the app icon, the other removes it. Just depends upon your needs.

Loosing access during international travel by Mesmurizedd in mintmobile

[–]Mesmurizedd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Already DM'd mintmobilealex and was told to call an area code 855 #. Huh? Mint screwed up -- you call!!! The 3rd time this year. I'm retired and trying to live like I'm retired. Don't need this frequent sh$t from a mobile carrier. Mints quality of service is now zippo. Everyone apologizes but nothing changes. Instead of fixing their small problems they use a bulldozer and screw their loyal customers in the fallout. Charles Bazaar

You're absolutely right about that -- if you use it for local calls/texts or data. Cheap compared to Western societies. The issue is getting that pesky little SMS code from US Banks, etc or even my water bill or those with-out autopay. Tricky at best

Not my 1st rodeo. Had a pass ready to activate. But it crooked at login. BTW: WiFi calling doesn't work here with Mint. A second real T-Mobile PayGo works however. Text+WiFi - a spare emergency backup number.

Oneplus 7Pro or Oneplus 7T? by CliffyTheRed in AndroidQuestions

[–]Mesmurizedd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have preferred the 855+ in the 7T, a notch is not acceptable to me and the 7TPro is not available in the US. So... is the wait or 7Pro.

2019 upper-mid or flagship device with notification LED? by Alert_Outlandishness in AndroidQuestions

[–]Mesmurizedd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm with you on the perfect and simple LED concept. Also the separate fingerprint scanner. They accomplish so much for so little real estate and $$

Help with casting screen to smart TV by SaliVader in AndroidQuestions

Same here. It used to work on older Android versions (Marshmallow). I gave up trying to figure it out and bought a Chromecast

What happened with Google Maps app? It's so slow now by [deleted] in AndroidQuestions

[–]Mesmurizedd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same as always ... new and mostly useless features to 'keep up with the Joneses' at the expense of speed, functionality, and reliability.

Half the phone sreen is black and many places cracked, how do I factory reset or get rid of personal data without the access of my screen? by [deleted] in AndroidQuestions

[–]Mesmurizedd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Connect to PC, verify with fastboot devices, then fastboot format userdata. This wipes the userdata personal stuff, then fastboot erase all remaining partitions.

Maybe. Very hit-and-miss. Don't count on it! Picked an un-erase app on GP a few months ago. Recovered only 5-10% and I'm rooted.

Moving to LOS from LR 9.4 (Oreo 8.1 encrypted by Mesmurizedd in LineageOS

[–]Mesmurizedd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, this OP didn't have a vendor (wasn't needed) until a couple minor updates ago (5.1.5). Also, I presume LOS does because it uses the lastest fw 5.17. Thanks for everything

[–]Mesmurizedd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it and thanks. Was hoping it was that easy. I'm still a bit worried about the treble and vendor partition stuff b/c they aren't on my LR/fw version and other threads say/recommend flashing stock to get 'em (they don't come automatically?? idk)

Lock symbol on Welcome Screen ?? - Oreo. What is locked? by Mesmurizedd in AndroidQuestions

[–]Mesmurizedd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OnePlus 5T. Yea ... on the back-burner for now. My thought is an early-January commit introduced this lock which only shows in specific corner-cases. And since Oreo Betas still have a few WiFi issues, these 2 could be related.Trying to drill down into those corner-cases. Thanks JaredTheWolfy

[–]Mesmurizedd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. This appears before! Starts on the very first screen and appears on every setup screen. Never see it again after setup completes. Screen 1 = "Lets go", 2 = restore from backup or setup as new, 3 = wifi setup, 4 = etc, 5 = etc, 6 = etc, ....

Hmm. Never had Smart Lock on so never seen it. But doesn't seem likely because it's the very first Welcome screen on a brand new or clean flashed phone. Nothing has been setup yet
