is there the possibility to activate it? doesn't work for me
Yes
How?
You probably need to give it location permission all the time; and allow it to run in the background I would have thought; and you might have to make it one of your 5 apps that is allowed to auto start.
Sure but doesn't work for me
I'm the only one with this problem?
I can start Timeline in Google maps but when I go into Timeline settings it say that location history is off and cant change it
The same problem. I think it is the problem of all Chinese phone. Because last time, I used Vivo, Oneplus or Xiaomi with Chinese version, they have this problem. When changing to global/eu rom, timeline works again with Oneplus, Xiaomi. But Oppo and Vivo, we can not unlock bootloader. I think maybe root can help, but I did not try yet.

I have a really annoying problem, and sorry if this is a trivially easy beginner's problem - we all have to start somewhere near the bottom - but I can't seem to find any useful information out in the wild, so I guess my best chance is to ask in a developer forum.
I have bought two phones in China - a Xiaomi MI 5 and a Huawei EVA-AL10 - and although I have managed to installed the necessary components to make google play work, they still keep opening the Xiaomi rsp Huawei app stores, when I download from within an app. Most recently I bought a dictionary - when I open it, it tries to download the relevant data files, but can't find them because it looks in the wrong app store. Is there any way of changing that default? It seems to be a system wide setting. It would be great if somebody could shed at least some light on this problem.
Long press on xiaomi/huawei app stores and go to app info
Scroll down and above permisions you will have a clear defaults button.Just click on it
Hope this solves your problem

Hey all.
Within a couple of days I'm getting my new Galaxy S9+ (Exynos) phone.
I made a year break from Android and switched to Apple, and now I'm back.
Unfortunately, I know nothing about newest Galaxy phones.
Maybe anyone has suggestions what should I do (download) when I'll set-up my phone (I've watched all the reviews of "must have" etc., don't suggest me to do that)?
I used to root and unlock bootloader for each my android phone, but I won't do that to my Galaxy S9+ at least for 6 months.
Hence, many root apps not working: "AdAway", "Viper4Android" etc.,
Maybe anyone knows Ad Blocking app without rooting a phone?
Or just mention anything that newbie to Galaxy S9+ should know.
(If you're wondering why am I "spamming" with these "stupid" questions: And no, I didn't find any similar thread to this)
Thanks in advance!
I use to root and rom all my phones, but I don't think it is as necessary as before.
I also use to download all the tweaks, but I don't do that either.
Non-root to block adds try Blokada it is in the F-Droid store.
It is Free and it Works.
I also swear by ES File Explorer to view and move files on your app. Also to sync any cloud storage you have.
If you have a regular phone number and google voice number going to the same phone
Voice Choice 2.0 is a nice app that allows you to make calls with a specific number
i.e. family and close friends have you carrier number
work partners, resume, business line has your google number
when you make a call you don't have to select anything, based on your rules set up it will dial out using the appropriate number.

check out this thread at your own risk. It works I disabled Facebook (don't see why that would be on and unlocked phone fro Samsung, but i digress)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s9-plus/how-to/s9-s9-bloatware-removal-thread-g960u-t3817810
Be careful with the commands and understand what is being done before you hit the enter/return key
Good thing about disabling is if you fubar the phone you can do a factory restore and start all over
I only disabled Facebook. will investigate the other software as i play with the phone. Only had it 2 weeks so far.

Hi everyone.
First of all, I am new and this is my first post so please do not bite my head off... I didn't know where to put this... Be nice
I've been fighting the pesky 'OK Google' not unlocking our phones conundrum tonight and I have a thought that maybe someone with much more knowledge than I can follow up on. I wrote a lengthy note explaining it to google but now I can't copy paste from app store. /Facepalm
Anyways.... It goes a little something like this. On my LG V30+ with Android 8, the newest Google app breaks the ability to unlock the phone with voice... It will wake up however. Rolling back Google app and disabling auto updates in store makes it function again. The same cannot be said for my Mate 20 Pro and my Gfs P20 both running Pie. It will wake the phone but not bypass the lock and goes straight to PIN.
For some reason I was on my V30+ looking at Package Disabler App and while scanning through it found an entry called LG Voice Recognition. One of the permissions there is Android.permission.TRUST_LISTENER. and then I remember seeing on my Mate 20 with Pie that there is a section in settings called Trusted Agents. Under trusted agents I see Huawei's Smart Unlock, which is the only thing that will unlock the phone with a voice command.
I looked at the permissions in the Google app and nowhere do I see the line Android.permission.TRUST_LISTENER....
So now I'm thinking if we could somehow get Google app or Assistant into this Trusted Agents, shouldn't it, then, be able to unlock our phones?
Make any sense or am I just being a spaceman?
I just have this feeling that someone at Google didn't get the memo about the new security layers implementation and totally forgot to code something mundane into the app.
Edit: I am in Canada on Rogers network, phone LYA-L0C. Pie 9.0.0.146
So... Like... No one can look .. or tell me I'm full of ****. I really do believe there is a solution here.
Hello friends,
A small glitch I found on my reno 10x, (pcm00) google map doesn't know my location and no matter what permission i gave to google map, it still does not auto locate and update my location.
When i was using nokia 7 plus (which i also bought in china), google map worked fine and were able to auto locate my location, as long I am using a vpn.
Normally this is not an issue since other local Chinese map apps work perfect, but i am travelling to Germany soon, so this gets me worry a bit.
I have not had a chance to try google map outside of China yet, and am wondering if this situation will remained even if im not in China.
Anyone else have this phone that is currently in a place with firewall-free internet access and can give me any conformation? Thanks, really appreciate it.

I'm using the same phone in the US. No vpn on AT&T. I don't have a problem with Google maps except that I can't turn on location history for timeline. Otherwise location works fine. I've used Google maps dozen of times for directions and no problems locating me.
I had the Find N in January before returning it because I couldn't use Android Auto on it. Now my Fold 3 has got some dead pixels and Samsung's customer service sucks and are refusing to fix it. I see that the original Oppo Car app can now be disabled, does this mean that Android Auto can work once this has been done? If so I think I'll buy a new Find N
No. Android auto will only work once it has been installed and configured as a system app (as detailed here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/android-auto-on-chinese-rom.4407021/ )
The only way to do this is by rooting the Find N and unlocking it's bootloader, which hasn't yet been done that I am aware of. I do know that a lot of people are trying though (myself included), but this will not easily be achieved (if it is even at all possible) Only time will tell
I need Android Auto !!! My Find N is a dream phone but my EyeRide V2 don't work !
i bought carlinkit tbox plus and now i can use may phone connected by bluetooth with the box and waze or google maps installed in the tbox . its a workaround who works.
