Hello everybody,
I'm trying, as a proof of concept (for me), to use my phone without Gapps installation.
A lot of things I use could be found without Gapps.
BUT, one application, my bank application, is not functioning well without Gapps.
The bank application is working well for most of the features. Only one feature isn't working ==> QR code reader (to process online payment or between friends payment)
When I press on the feature, I receive an error message: "Google play services: O.OX depend on Google play services..."
So, here is my question:
Does someone know how to install this O.OX apps ? Or have a workaround to make this work ??
That would be really appreciated !
Thank you beforehand :good:
Hi,
I was surprised today to see that my android firewall (afwall+) blocked several communications from the SMS/MMS application (ID 10068).
The following IP address were blocked, all on port 443
216.58.213.142
216.58.215.46
172.217.19.238
172.217.18.206
These IP belongs to google hosting, have self-signed certificate (and redirect to google.com if blindly via https://[theip] ).
Does anybody have clue about this?
Thank you
Kriss
PS: my phone runs lineage os 15, updated on Sept 4th. It is rooted, runs microg, fdroid and xposed, and has very few apps on it.
Hi ,
I have a question if someone can help or explain me.
I have a OnePlus 5t and got an id for nfc not changing with Los 15.1 and now with LOS 16, the id of nfc changing each time I use it.
Is it a normal behaviour ? and is it possible to get back a fixed nfc id ?
(I used my phone with my work printer reader, to get my documents)
For information, I made some tests:
Wiped all partition of my phone, flashed official LOS 15.1 (nothing more) and with my prox reader it give me always the same ID.
Wiped all partition of my phone,I flashed official LOS 16 (nothing moreà and each time I put my phone on the reader I got a différent ID.
(Seems to be a software setting/feature/issue .... )
Thanks for help / understanding / advices
As after the stable release of Android 10 to our device, there is a "+" icon next to your network setting.
But i am just not able to get it configured.
At the beginning of the process it says.." download your sim" if u don't have a physical one and when i proceed with that option it loads for a while and pops up cannot download..SS attached.
And while doing this you have to be on a wifi network as it disables your currently inserted sim..thats that.
Are you sure it's going to work for P2XL? Was it working in any of the betas?
It happened to me in beta i guess you have to factory reset your phone and everything should be ok it worked for me just don't forget to back up your data
No need for factory resetting just download the latest sim manager from the play store or if it's not available to you yet you can also download it from apkmirror,i am referring to version D.1.5.73, now you should be able to scan a qr code to setup esim
P.S if you have any problem setting up esim keep us updated
The latest sim manager version available on apkmirror is D.1.5.71
Can you post a link to version 73? Because 71 shows same error as shown in a screenshot in the first post. Can you guys use other carrier that Google Fi on Pixel 2 xl?

Wow! Just wow, it works!! At least QR code scanner, I'll need to go to my operator to get a QR code to try it of course.
Great change, huuuge thanks to @kastik4, I was waiting for it in Android Q release, but problem was obviously in esim-manager.
Ok then back to the thread topic - anybody has DSDS (Dual sim dual standby) working on Pixel 2(XL)?
I checked with two of my operators.. They gave me the QR codes, but our phone isn't able to download the profiles. I keep getting "Network not activated" error.

That's exactly the same that I experienced today - I went to a Czech Vodafone and they told me that Pixel 2 isn't able to use Czech e-sims, but Pixel 3 does. I tried to reach Google, but they just ignored my call request, will try tomorrow.
Anybody was successful in downloading e-sim? Is there any physical difference or it's just a software certification? In latter case we could overcome it with software hacks.
According to Google support, it's error with network operator and I'm to check with them. Network people say p2xl isn't in their list of supported devices. WTH. I'm sure it's a software thing.
P.S. It's not going to be DSDS mode, it's DSSS mode only. Only one sim/connection active at a time
@xnova35 , did you get any response from Google?

@hymnz, Imagine, Google is ignoring me!! I request a call from Tips&Support section in my phone (btw it says nonstop 24/7 help), several times it confirmed me that "Specialist will call you as soon as possible" and nothing.
I searched for number I could call, but didn't find any which would lead to Pixel help. Does anybody has a number to call, preferably in US or Europe?
I didn't find any proof that Pixel 2 and 3 in e-sim are physically different. So my guess is if phone will report itself as "Pixel 3" (can be done with rooting) it could work. I was surprised that there are no "Pixel 3" Roms for Pixel 2 - all features and structure ported to our model.

Did you try text chatting with support? Do you have that option?

@hymnz, no, there's no chat option anymore (however it used to be there), of course I would have used it.

Any update from anyone who has tried?
I have just tried to install the latest version of SIM Manager by Google from APKMirror on Lineage OS 18.1 (Android 11) running on Google Pixel 2.
With the updated version of the SIM Manager, I was able to get the phone to display a new user interface for adding an eSIM by scanning a QR code. However, the process got stuck on the spinner animation immediately after scanning the QR code. The phone did not freeze but it would never move on to the next part of the eSIM provisioning process.
In the adb log, I could see messages like these:
Less:
W GooglePlayServicesUtil: com.google.android.euicc requires the Google Play Store, but it is missing.
which I do not understand because I *do* have Google Play Store and Google Play Services installed. I have also tried to update them to the latest versions available on APKMirror but the behavior remained the same.
During an attempt to provision an eSIM, the following messages seemed to be relevant:
Less:
I EuiccGoogle: [2] CarrierInfo.createCarrierFromJson: Received empty carrier jason string
I EuiccGoogle: [182] EuiccServiceImpl.ensureSlotIsEuiccAndActive: Passed in slotId=-1; euiccIsActive=false; targetSlotIsRemovable=false; forceDeactivateSim=false.
I EuiccGoogle: [182] EuiccServiceImpl.onGetDownloadableSubscriptionMetadataInternal: onGetDownloadableSubscriptionMetadataInternal: slotId = -1, forceDeactivateSim = false, ensureSlotIsEuiccAndActive = Pair{-1 false}.
I EuiccGoogle: [182] EuiccErrorMapper.mapErrorCode: Result: EuiccServiceError - -1
I EuiccGoogle: [182] EuiccServiceImpl.onGetDownloadableSubscriptionMetadata: onGetDownloadableSubscriptionMetadata errorCode: -1
...
E EuiccGoogle: [134] ClearcutServerLog$1.doInBackground: Cannot connect to GMS API client.
E EuiccGoogle: com.google.android.gms.common.api.ApiException: 17: API: UsageReporting.API is not available on this device. Connection failed with: ConnectionResult{statusCode=SERVICE_INVALID, resolution=null, message=null}
The part which seems suspicious is "Received empty carrier jason string" but I am not sure what it refers to exactly. It seems like getting the eSIM metadata fails for some reason.
I have root access via Magisk so I have installed the MagiskHide Props Config module, changed the device fingerprint to Google Pixel 3 and also activated the device simulation and enabled the simulation of all the related props. Then I have tried to repeat the eSIM provisioning again but the outcome remained the same.
With the root access, I believe that I should be able to somehow arrange that the regular eSIM provisioning via QR code works. But I do not know which parts need to be adjusted and how.
I recently downloaded TousAntiCovid which is the official French Gov Covid-19 tracker.
It allows you to add vaccination certificates etc.
The app required Bluetooth to be enabled to work properly but everytime I try to do this I get the message
"Bluetooth activation failed. Please try again or restart your phone. (null[2])"
Has anyone successfully run this app on an M8 ?
My phone is running LineageOS 17.1
