Hey all
I have a process running on my device called "OnePlus System Service"
Couldn't really find any description. Does anyone know what it does?
Bump same here.

The OnePlus System Service is responsible for collecting and sending time-stamped data about your device (phone serial number, IMEI, SIM cards and their phone numbers, battery level, the ESSID and BSSID of the wi-fi network you're connected to if there is one, etc) and how you use it (unlock, screen on, screen off events; how long you spend in which applications and in which Activities).

Is there a way to change a device's name, such that a carrier can't tell what kind of device it is?
I'm a bit concerned that Cingular is showing which of my phones I'm using when I login to their site. I'd rather not have them know I'm using an 8125 most of the time, instead of the 2125 I purchased with a data plan and such.
I'm running one of molski's roms now, so if there's something that could be changed and reflashed, I'd do that too...
Ideas? Or is it all IMEI based, and is being determined from that?

Hush and don't fret about the website, it's in the User-Agent portion of the HTTP call to the server. It intelligently pulls the name of the device from it and then displays information relevant to you. Kind of like if you go to Google.com while in japan, it redirects you to google.co.jp, they traced the IP back and found it was based/located out of Japan and forwarded the client accordingly.
It's all IMEI based for device authentication, and unless they bothered to write down the IMEI number from your 2125, they won't be able to tell. I had a SideKick2, an NGage, and SE K750i all at the same time on my account. They couldn't tell what was what, but knew I was a phone fanatic, most carriers aren't alarmed when you have 2 or 3 IMEI number associated with your SIM card, it's not weird, however they will start to wonder when your SIM is tied to say, 10 IMEI numbers, all recently.
The only other way they might be able to tell, is if the device has a "heartbeat" where it connects to the network to pull data down for one reason or another, and is very specific about where it gets the data from. Then they might be able to track what device you have, but that level of scrutiny into your packets, is illegal for any provider, and only obtainable by FBI or other such agency, and only if you're a bad bad evil person.
So now the question comes down to, do you have 10 phones you plug your SIM into, OR, are you a bad bad person who deserves to be in jail? If the answer is 'no' to both. Breathe a sigh of relief just as much as we all do, because we know then we don't have a criminal in our midsts.
I'n not terribly worried about legality, more them bumping my plan to the $40 PDA connect, instead of the $20 Smartphone connect. Or even worse, disabling the data plan, and setting it pay-as-you-go. That'd be a nasty suprise.
It's just a bit weird to have the 8125 show up, when they shouldn't know I have one.
Dear Samsung Focus users,
I really need your help and suggestions. I bought an unlocked samsung focus last week and I love it! But I have this problem:
- I cannot receive text messages until I reboot the phone
- After I reboot the phone, text messages will start flying in to my inbox
- Then the problem starts again and I have to reboot the phone to retrieve new text messages
I live in the basement but I have no trouble calling or sending and receiving SMS with my previous phone.
I hope it has something to do with the OS thus they can fix it.
Thanks!
Sometimes I get it where the device thinks it's on the network, but won't use cellular data or SMS. I'll see this after being in the basement for a few hours with a signal that fades in and out.
Try turning on Airplane mode, wait 5 seconds, and turn airplane mode off. It should reconnect to the network and start running again.
I've seen this on 'droids, WinMob 6, and on the iphone 3 as well. I've just sort of figured it was the radio chip giving up on retries. I could be wrong, but recycling the radio seems to work for me.

when you have no signal, the operator will keep trying several times during different time spaces until your phone gets it. the problem with focus is that they quit trying to received. i dont know but only works after a reboot. In other phones you just need to wait till next carrier push try. i think its a bug, probably to unlocked phones. I have an At&T unlocked focus.
I am having the exact same problem. I dont know what to do
Count me in.
I am also experiencing this issue.
Here are my thoughts on the issue.
1. I bought the phone from Rogers (GSM)
2. I bought an Unlock code from the web (SIM Unlock only)
- You know you're device is carrier locked if you cannot run Samsung's Network Profile App, or if it shows no other profiles in the list. The app is available on the marketplace.
3. I use the phone on SaskTel's 4G network (Saskatchewan UMTS/HSPA+)
Now my thought is this.
Whichever settings are not provided by SIM are set by the Network Profle xml that is specific to each carrier.
My assertion is that if you cannot change Network Profiles via Samsung's app, you cannot use your 'carrier free' (AKA SIM unlocked) device on another network without some hiccups.
If someone can figure out how to enable Samsung's Network Profile on a carrier purchased device, I'd be happy to hear how it's done.
I should also note that I've since developer unlocked via Chevron's WP7 tools with no change (Installed NoDo right after).
If someone knows what the network profile xml actually sets and can figure out an alternate way to set the settings..... ie Registry editor, etc. We would appreciate this.

you may try the fix posted on page 2 of this forum for sms not receiving. It worked for me and not having any problems since.
Hi all,
This is my case with the hope of getting any help or lead in order to solve my problem:
After a long research I bought an brand new LG D800 already sim unlocked in the US and brought it to my country (Costa Rica). I made sure the frequencies supported by the D800 are the ones used in my country. In fact 2 years ago I bought another phone that uses same frequencies and had had no problems ever.
As soon as getting in my country I placed the SIM card I'm using in my current phone into the G2 and it recognized the signal and connected to the operators network. I started to make and receive calls almost immediately, and also SMS' without issues. So I started to migrate all my data from the current phone into the G2. I used Titanium Backup for this, so I rooted first the phone using the guide I found here, and basically what I did is installed the apps from Google Play and then restored data using Titanium.
After the second day of use suddenly I found out that I wasn't able to make or receive calls since the phone lost connection to the operators network only allowing emergency calls but the signal bars were full (see scren capture). Sometimes when restarting the phone I get "Phone not allowed MM6" message just after the phone tries to connect to the operators network.
Went to the phone company offices and they tried to help me and made some simple tests, without changing anything inside, such as checking Android's network configurations, checking in their system to verify the IMEI wasn't blocked or reported (the IMEI is clean), also checked the sim configuration and after more than 45 minutes they were not able to find anything wrong in their system or with the phone itself. They also made a final test taking a working sim and put it into the G2 and gatting same emergency calls mode, and took my sim from the G2 and put it in another phone and that phone was able to make and receive calls. So they concluded that the phone has a "built-in" configuration or damage that impedes the phone to connect to the network. They finally suggested to ask the seller to apply the waranty, which is not a viable option since I'm not in the US anymore. This G2 is using the stock ROM (see screen captured).
I've been in close contact with the seller, and he had shown interest in this case but unfortunately hasn't been able to provide much support or help to solve the issue. He reports that he has contacted other buyers of this same phone, also sim unlocked by him, and they all are using their G2s normally. Didn't provide where their locations are tough.
My own conclusions here are that the G2 IMEI is not blocked by the phone company, that there is some kind of fault in the phone that when trying to connect to the network, the network doesn't "like" and rejects connection, althought it worked at the begining, and I'm not able to determine if the fault is software or it's in the hardware of the phone.
So I'm trying to understand what my options are at this moment:
Try to return the phone to the seller, or ask an LG representative in my country to change the unit. Which seems to be very difficult.
Reflash the unit with a stock ROM and reestablish the warranty. But being unsure if this will solve the issue.
Reflash the unit with a new ROM and loose the warranty, and again, being unsure the issue will be solved.
I'm really frustrated and at this moment and have no idea on what to do.
Any ideas or insight will be appreciated.
Thanks.
NOTE: I reinitialized the unit and lost any signal (see screenshots) but received update notifications from Google Play and was able to upload the screenshots into my Dropbox although no signal is shown in the status bar and no WiFi connection is established, only data connection thru APN (I Assume).
Go into status, what's IMEI say?
Sounds like EFS issues. I take it you didn't back it up after setting up on carrier and flashing?
Of so, you have some manual work to do with diag mode and a couple apps via pc.
Hi Steamer;
Under status I see 3 items:
1) Phone Number: shows"Unknown".
2) IMEI: shows the number printed on the box, on a sticker on phone's back.
3) IMEI SV: shows"03".
Where can I learn more about EFS issues? Are there tutorials?
As you say I haven't done any backup thing.

Hi again Steamer:
After reading quite a bit about EFS issues now I understand much better what you meant with your post.
And as you said I didn't back up efs folder, I even didn't flash any ROM yet in the unit. The only thing I did was a 'hard reset' to the unit using the Power + Vol. Down method, after having several 'com.android.phone' errors due to backing up data from Titanium.
The phone went to factory state, I put the sim card and everything went back to normal again, meaning that I was able to make and receive calls. Like 4 hours later the phone went to emergency calls only mode, and from then on I'm not able to take it out of that mode.
So I wonder if the efs folder could corrupt after that factory reset. Is it possible?
Thanks again and any light is greatly appreciated.
It is not in its own partition on this device, but in system. A hard reset shouldn't have caused corruption, but it is not impossible. Your IMEI is intact then, that is good. From what you said about it working partially, your EFS is most likely fine as well. There is a thread here to get files with custom recovery zip file, or you can use adb commands to do it yourself. I don't have guides off hand, but Google is your friend, just specified this phone in searches. Try a new SIM. Sounds more like SIM /carrier issue now as you are out of "activation". That is why emergency is popped and unknown number. The SIM itself may and most likely is bad(or carrier has an issue with your account), in turn it can't communicate with the server causing non activation on network search. Priority to SIM.

I had the same issues. Bought in Us using now in India. Go to settings..tethering&networks.. mobile networks... international data roaming and select standard data. Switch off and switch on your phone .
This will happen when you use, internet over gsm. If you disable internet or if your phone loses signal while switching between edge and 3g/4g data, this is tend to happen.
Similar Problem
I have an lg vs980 and I was using it with H2O wireless and later I changed to Simple Mobile. I'm living in Puerto Rico. The phone was working all right and, suddenly, one day it was always displaying 'emergency calls only'.
I did factory reset, then I reflashed stock lollipop and it was like nothing happened, keeps displaying 'emergency calls only'.
Then I found this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2394689 and applied the patch but didn't seem to resolve the problem.
As a last resort I tried flashing cm 12.1 and before first boot applied the patch from the cited thread but no result, keeps displaying 'emergency calls only'.
Has anyone found a solution to this problem?
Greetings, friends!
I seem to be having an issue with my Galaxy S5. Many times when I receive a message (via WhatsApp or Snapchat for example)
my phone does not show any notifications. However, when I open the app manually, it recalls to use it's mobile data and only then,
when the app is running, I receive all of the notifications I haven't received yet.
This does not happen when my phone is connected to my house WiFi. My phone can receive data from my mobile network,
and my data is always turned on, but for some reason it's shut down for most of the apps (if not all of them) unless the app
is running (not in background).
I have tested this without power saver mode and app power saver, same result.
Is there any way I can get my phone to enable mobile data at all times?
So I'll be able to get the notification the second someone sends me a message.
Things worth mentioning:
Phone model: SM-G900P, unrooted.
Firmware: Sam Mobile's stock Sprint (G900PVPU3CPCA)
Hardware version: G900P.04
Android version: 6.0.1 (Marshmallow)
Baseband version: same as firmware.
Kernel version: 3.4.0-7603580
[email protected] #1
Build number: MMB29M.G900PVPU3CPCA
My device was bought in Europe (in Russia), but I use it in western side of the middle east.
That means I cannot activate my device via my network (using the hands free activation).
Whenever I restart my device, the "activating your device..." notification pops out.
It retries 5 times finally it opens the "Activate this device" app (from settings) and it says
the activation was not successful and that I should contact costumer support.
I have already set up my network's APN with their provided settings and it is the one
I currently use. I tried changing the APN type to " "(empty), "default", "internet" but it doesn't help.
My carrier provides a 3G network. The phone always has some bars and it shows the 3G sign in the
network icon in the status bar.
My network mode is set to Automatic (although I've tried all of the others and it didn't fix it).
I don't have a roaming option at all... ?
I can use my phone properly to make phone calls in an average quality.
This problem started only AFTER updating to marshmallow using Sam Mobile's firmware (via odin).
Resetting my cache partition did not solve this problem.
I will contact my carrier and ask them, but I'm pretty sure it's something in the new firmware that prevents
mobile data without forced usage (or is unable to connect unless a request is forcing it to change network type).
Any help will be much appreciated!
Update: Even when my phone is connected to my home WiFi, it won't show the notifications before I open WhatsApp.
Could it be a firmware issue?
I am also having massive problems with the APN after flashing my G900P with ANY custom rom. Have yet to find a fix for this.
Hi,
I have noticed the following: if I put an active googlefi sim card in any android phone, it will show me the actual network the phone is registered on. However, if this phone has ever had the googlefi app installed (even if subsequently uninstalled) the network name that is shown is always "googlefi". What does the googlefi app change in the android settings? Other than a full reset, what can I reset to get the phone to show the name of the network it's registered on instead of "googlefi"?
Many thanks to whoever has a clue!
