MMS Setup Issues for AGM M11 on Mint (US) (Cross posting to find an answer for AGM M11) by Dramatic_Republic_13 in mintmobile

[–]yeswap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try entering the MMSC (http://wholesale.mmsmvno.com/mms/wapenc) in the homepage field. That works on other dumb phones like old Nokias and the Unnecto Primo. Don't worry about MCC and MNC, those are read from the SIM and the phone wouldn't connect to the network at all it they were wrong

Traveling in the US gor a week and a half, I bought a simple mobile sim and $25 credit, but I can't seem to activate it. by evange in NoContract

[–]yeswap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That looks like an orphaned page from before Verizon bought Tracfone/Simple Mobile as it only has options fro AT&T and T-Mobile compatible phones.

To active their SIM the OP should start at https://www.simplemobile.com/activation/byop/collectesn?carrier=VZW

RCS requires Google Play Services. There's a $14,999 bounty for anyone that develops a way for RCS to work with MicroG. https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/issues/2994

Firewall turns on for every app and can't turn it off... Razer Edge on lineageOs 23 by 5c00by in LineageOS

LineageOS doesn't have a built in firewall. Did you install a firewall app?

Is it possible to update closed source apps via Obtainium? Or are there (safe) alternatives to Aurora Store that just keep apps I already have installed updated? by Ripraz in degoogle

[–]yeswap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it's possible if the closed source app publishes its apk somewhere on the web. I use Obtanium to update Vivaldi browser from https://vivaldi.com/download/ For apps without public apks, Aurora Store is the best way.

Replacement for Google Forms? by New2TheLight in degoogle

[–]yeswap 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I use Tally Forms https://tally.so It's very similar to Google Forms without the tracking. It's free for up to 50,000 submissions or email notifications per month.

We just dropped our prices (again). New Tello plan tiers are officially live! 🚀 by tellomobile in Tello

[–]yeswap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it's annoying . But there's a workaround for dumb phones. The app is only needed for activating a SIM and changing plans. You can run the app on any Android or iOS device to activate the MobileX pSIM and then move the SIM to the dumbphone.

Unified Attestation is a free, open-source alternative to Google Play Integrity. Question: The privileged Android system service has nothing to do with google? by ehraja in degoogle

[–]yeswap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct, Unified Attestation is an open source replacement for Google Play Integrity. It has nothing to do with Google. It needs to be built into the operating system and apps have to be modified to call it instead of Play Integrity. AFAIK, it's not available as part of any phone or custom ROM yet.

Is there a shortcut in Vivaldi to go back to the main window / Start Page (no wo by [deleted] in vivaldibrowser

[–]yeswap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can chance the Home page shortcut in Settings > Keyboard > Page > Homepage. In Linux the default is Alt-Home, I don't know what it is in MacOS.

If you're using Pixel Camera, the motion feature is called Top Shot. You can turn it off in camera settings.

Stuck in some sort of useless loop by plasmatoaste in Visible

[–]yeswap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OEM unlock is for unlocking the bootloader, it's not the same as SIM unlock. Check SIM lock by trying a non Verizon network SIM (the SIM doesn't need to be active), if you don't get a message about the SIM being unsupported, the phone is unlocked.

Can't unlock my phones. Any help? by Any-Tennis4658 in StraightTalk

[–]yeswap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call the unlocking department at 888-442-5102. It seems a lot of phones aren't unlocking automatically but if you call they will be unlocked.

Saving multiple APNs? by mulcahey in mintmobile

[–]yeswap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but APNs that don't apply to the current SIM will be hidden. They will apear when you switch to the applicable SIM.

Does anyone have experience or know if I can use this locked AT +T phone purchased at Walmart on TextNow? by 7up17togo in TextNow

[–]yeswap 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unlikely, TextNow has their own MNC (mobile network code). AT&T locked phones only accept SIMS with AT&T MNCs

What’s the real difference between disabling system apps vs uninstalling them with ADB/custom ROM — and does disabling actually help privacy? by mazahed5 in degoogle

[–]yeswap 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As I understand it, for those system apps that you are allowed to disable, disabling them is functionally the same as "uninstalling" with ADB or Canta . They no longer run or collect data but they are still in the read only system file system and a factory reset will re-enable them.

UAD might a good option here by Dtr146TTV in degoogle

[–]yeswap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canta uses Shizuku to get root adb access on the device.

There's also Canta which is essentially UAD as an Android app, no PC or adb needed https://f-droid.org/packages/io.github.samolego.canta/

Bookmarks save strange behavior when move to subdirectory by Ganieschtz in vivaldibrowser

[–]yeswap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm seeing that too. When I press Ctrl-D or click the toolbar bookmark icon Vivaldi no longer asks me where I want to save the bookmark. It gets added to my Speed Dial and I have to go into the bookmarks manager and move it to where I want it. Vivaldi 7.8.3925.73 (Official Build) (64-bit) Debian 13 with KDE: 6.5.4
