For those who have enabled download booster on your rooted phone, have you found that when enabled it does nothing. I'm under the impression that just b/c it is enabled due to ATT lack of software on their end the feature will not work no matter what.
Searching some year old threads state what is suspect the feature doesn't work b/c ATT isn't setup for it on their end.

I've installed it but am reading that there are modifications made for both to work.
How do you go about performing the tweaks?
You shouldn't have to tweak anything for your GPS to work. You may want to verify that settings> phone> location settings (get settings) has location "ON". There has been talk about enabling/disabling REV. A in the EPST settings (dial ##778#> edit> enter MSL# as unlock code> data settings> Rev. A). REV. A comes disabled by default. Some have said that it is supposed to be disabled, some have said it is supposed to be enabled. I've tested both ways. I get an average of 668Kbps d/l with it enabled, and an average of 460Kbps with it disabled. I tested both ways several times, soft resetting between them. I've levt mine enabled. If you need your MSL code, do a search for the MSL generator. I have it and can post it if you can't find it.
there are many posts here as well as ppcgeeks that are saying.... leave the espt thing alone. most people are missunderstanding this setting. it comes preinstalled enabled. when you see the disable in the espt settings this is not saying it is disabled. it is asking you if you want to disable.
mine was faster when left alone.
as far as gps.... should be good to go. altho some have said that the htc quick gps work good for getting a quicker lock on sats.
good luck, cody
I experienced slower speeds AND GPS issues when I changed that default setting...
By default, it should say 'Disable' in the area... but yeah, changing that value to 'enable' actually DISABLES the EVDO Rev. A, so it IS confusing yes...
Me personally, I did the stock ROM, no tweaks and I'm working perfectly. Leave it alone man
OK, so allow me to give the situation:
I have a stock build that I flashed.
However, after normal activation - you know how it should switch to Sprint boot and shutdown animations? Didn't happen.
Sprint Zone also doesn't show correctly, says it's still configuring. Network shows LG. Wifi calling, *2 and Connections Optimizer okay.
Other bloatware doesn't seem to have installed.
I'm pretty sure that the CSC/carrier data is missing but does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this - other than use a different build?

I'm not quite sure what you're taking about but...
if it's stock based, ##RTN# should help with activation. But...
If you're showing LG as the network, that's something that happens with a build.prop edit. I think it was OPEN and Global that caused that to happen.
Activates fine, just not applying the correct CSC for the apps. Functionally everything seems A-OK.
I'll just chalk it up to this particular build.
I'm not sure if this post is in the right section but just wondering if anyone that has already rooted the ROG Phone has tried the Magisk Module VoEnabler to see if it helps out in anyway?

Even if it doesn't work for your specific carrier does it at least enable the option or allow the use of the 800mhz for internet? As for a phone that is advertised that is is VoLTE compatiable I've noticed on mine it's completely disabled in the firmware. Can't even toggle it in the Android Hidden Menu. I'm a Three UK user and just wondering what the chances are of ever getting support for this.
if you go to ASUS's Zentalk forum this is a request by MANY users that own the phone. But we doubt it will be added.

Hello there! I was a relatively early adopter of Android and while I am not a programmer I am a nerd who can follow directions. I like to dial my devices in and maintain as much privacy as possible. I really don't like bloatware and when I was still working I would buy from Google rather than a pre-loaded cell. Now I am looking to get back to work and broke. I lost my last phone and got a lifeline (free) phone. It is a SKY Elite H55 with AndroidGo installed. The last time I had to use one of these phones I just took the sim card out and installed on a Motorola E5. For whatever reason I lost and had disabled location. While I am grateful to have cell service the Go phone experience is terrible and all I could manage to do is setup a wifi hotspot for other device. Just navigating menus was terrible and this one is newer but seems to have even more restrictions and less options. Also I have a thing for reading ToS and dont think anyone needs my data free. When I powered on the device I saw this as one of the only settings:
Allow Scanning: Allow apps to scan for wifi and nearby devices even when wifi or bluetooth is turned off.
What is the actual fudge is that? It BS and no I dont want that. I have not activated phone and qwould like to make this a more stock phone that just does basics. I can make calls with google voice on my iphone 8 all I need is this as a hotspot. The idea a default setting lets apps scanat will even after you turn of wfi/bt is offensive. Do I have any options.
Whatever I lack in skill I try to make up for by reading and following directions. I just did a complete softmod on a olld Nintendo DSI and it turned out perfect so I am ready to own my device. If possible. Danke.
First, to clarify, I have the Samsung Galaxy A21 (there is no dedicated forum, so it seems we A21 users must use the A21s forum.) Although this may at least somewhat apply to the A21s (it may actually have the advanced service menu, so may at least have that as an option. The A21 is considerably more gutted in even the most basic functionalities.) One bit of confusion on my part is the actual SoC is a MediaTek, not a Samsung Exynos. However, all warnings regarding these exploits list "A21" so I'm assuming that the modem may still be a Samsung modem. Though of course it may just not apply and they really mean the A21s (these models are so completely different they really should not have been given the same number,) I have no choice but to assume the A21 is included until someone says otherwise.
The main vulnerabilities are these four:
CVE-2023-24033
CVE-2023-26496
CVE-2023-26497
CVE-2023-26498
Apparently there are 18 in total, but these are the ones that allow "zero click" remote code execution (presumably with at or near root access.) One thing I've been unclear about though is if you have to actually accept the call or not. The implications of the warnings seems to be that all they need is your phone number to initiate the exploit (which would mean that bad actors could just simply use an automated system to run through basically every number if they really wanted.) Though to me it would make the most sense if it actually required you to accept the call. (I'd really like some clarity on this as that would mean simply rejecting any call not known to be safe would usually be sufficient.) For now I have to work with the assumption it truly is "zero click" as they describe it.
Given that VoLTE is normally not an option the user can toggle (especially in recent ROMs) there seems to be basically no way to turn it off these days. Phones used to sometimes have a toggle in the cellular settings, but not anymore it seems (probably due to it being basically required now.) I tried to enter the advanced service menu (*#26833662#), but it said not supported when I did. The standard service menu does not have any options or controls (let alone anything regarding VoLTE.) I remember in the past on an older (less locked down) phone I did have options to enable/disable VoLTE (though it didn't work due to the hot flaming mess that is VoLTE -- it really should have been required to be standardized and enabled across all devices physically capable of it before the 3G cutoff) via one of the service menus, but unfortunately this one doesn't seem to have that. Is there any other way I can disable it and at least keep my cellular access? I realize this means data only, but that leaves at least some possibilities such as VoIP calling like Google Voice and, more importantly, does leave me access to online things when I don't have WiFi.
It should go without saying, but I do have WiFi calling off, so no issue there.
Bump. There is still no security update on mine. There may never be. I wouldn't be shocked at all if it's abandoned at this point. Even just a data only connection would have to be sufficient until I can come up with a better phone solution if that's what it takes, but I need to at least be able to use it for some basics on data, so removing the SIM isn't going to work.
