Droid X Checkin "FORCE UDATE PUSH" - Droid X General

To do this, open your dialer and dial:
1. Open the standard Android Phone (Dialer) application
2. Enter *#*#checkin#*#* on the dialer keypad ( *#*#2432546#*#*) DO NOT PRESS CALL
3. On the last entry of the *, your phone will pause while it is checking for updates.
4. Once it has completed, you will see a yellow exclamation icon in the notification bar letting you know that checkin has been completed and if an update exists you should be notified.
5. It also appears that Market updates are also rechecked as part of this process, so any new updated applications will also notify you to update your applications
You'll be "checked in" and any available updates will be forced to your phone instead of waiting for your turn during the roll out.

Very cool for stock users. I would totally do this if I wasn't using a ROM.

Thank you this is very sweet.I have never seen a website like this damn there is some smart people out there and there is some smart people on this site site.Awesome site thank you

Appreciated!

I have been running JIT on VanillaDroid since release. I would get random reboots 1-2 a day. I removed it this morning and has been stable since. I know Vanilla isn't Sense based but wanted to give you some input.

The Red (Manual) Update app now showing in Market

Hey guys, Ever since going to FRF83 ad now FRF85b FroYo I've been getting this weird Manual Update listed in the market. Does this mean that certain app cannot be market as Auto Update.
I don't have Any apps checked to Auto Update, so why would I be getting something like Manual update, has anyone seen this?
It's not just the Flick It Game (Great Game, Get it) it's happened about 5 times in the last week or so while updating. I'm not sure what is causing it. I just want em all to say update like before.
Also, when this happens. There's no longer the Update All button at bottom, and I have to do them both one at a time.

I'm guessing here but I think when something is flagged as Manual Update it means the permissions of the app has changed and must be approved again. This would prevent a dev from making an app update do something you don't agree to..
But like I said thats just a guess.
Well, I don't think anything changed. but it's possible.
Yeah, I saw one of those, it won't include that one in update all because the permissions changed.
are you sure thats what it is, a permission changed. if so thats fine.
I'm just trying to figure it all out, thats all

Nope which is why I said it was a guess. It seems to make the most sense to me. If a app only checks the weather but the developer releases an update that wipes you SD card I'm pretty sure you are going to have to approve the permissions.
So like I said I think it's a manual update because you have to acknowledge the changed permissions.
When the permissions change, you must manually update the app, even if you have automatic update checked off. Just a security feature. Going from stock 2.1 to Froyo, you will even get the manual update dialog for Google Maps.
From page 308 of the Android 2.2 Manual:
Market 308
AUG-2.2.0-100 Android User’s Guide
If the application is not set to update automatically, or if the update changes the
permissions it requires, you’re notified you have updates available. Touching the
notification opens the Downloads screen in Market. Each application you’ve
downloaded that has an update available has an Update or Update (manual)
label.
S Touch an application with an Update or Update (manual) label to update it,
after reviewing changes to its permissions if necessary.
S Touch Update all to update all the applications with updates that don’t have
permissions changes.
The Update all button is available only if you have more than one update that
doesn’t require you to approve changes to permissions.
To set whether you’re notified about updated applications
1 On the Android Market home screen, press Menu and touch Downloads.
2 Press Menu and touch Notifications.
3 Select whether or not to be notified of updates to the applications you’ve
downloaded.
4 Touch OK.
K Thanks guys!

In the hope that this might help you (if it's not too late) or anybody else who reads this, give the following a try:
-- Enable Developer Options (tap Settings > About Phone > Build number 7 times).
-- In Developer Options, tap "Running services".
-- Look for either "Motorola Update Services" or "Device Management" or something similar.
-- STOP the Ota service.
-- You'll have to do this every time you restart the phone.
I haven't gotten an OTA download yet, even when connecting to PC and running Motorola Device Manager and letting it check for updates. The result I got for that was:
There are no updates for your device at this time.
Current version:
24.14.24.griffin_verizon.verizon.en.US
Disclaimer: This seems to work on a (Verizon/carrier-unlocked) XT1650 that's still running the original (MCL24.203-22) first release for the Moto Z Force Droid. Depending on version and exact model, your mileage may vary.

That loading a different version of motocare & motochekin no longer works, the phone says "app appears corrupt", unless the downloads are bad it won't load on my Z force. Verizon really sucks , I buy my own device and they tell me what I can do with it, really blows, hate verizon

You tried both fake checkin apps?
Post your your stock motocheckin app please.
Use Super Manager, app manager. I linked it in my op.
I was able to go into my settings and disable all permissions for the moto care update app. If it still pops up a notification that the install is ready, you can long press on the notification and then click the little "i" symbol on the right and disable notifications for that app. Unfortunately it has already downloaded the update so it's on my phone as 3.6GB worth of space being used and I'm not able to click the options to remove the data. It's not installing, but still taking up the space.

You mean Checkin app not Care, right?
So you installed motocheckin after the update got downloaded to (/cache?) the phone.
Well that sucks!
You have a Force? Which app did you use?

Do you need help in getting the update to proceed?

Annoying " Unable to resume the download. You need to restart the download "

Annoying " Unable to resume the download. You need to restart the download "
I keep getting that banner pop up at the bottom middle portion of the screen. It happens at various apps and places like the app drawer. I don't know what download it is and how to stop it? I was almost certain that there's no active download every time that message pop up.
Same. I searched the web for this and this thread is the only thing that came up. I wonder if it has to do with apps auto updating in the background or something... Although if it was just a google play store thing then it'd probably be more widespread across other phones, and we happen to have the same phone. So maybe it's some zte thing. I'm trying to think of what of theirs auto updates... Maybe the lock screen backgrounds.. I know those update periodically. It's not a system/os update cuz I have none of those available.

What does it say?
It says "Unable to resume the download. You need to restart the download", just in a rounded rectangle box near the bottom of the screen.

@ZTEUSA Support,
Hi, I worked in ZTE, and focus on AXON 7, are you the same position in USA like me? I hope we can join together to provide better service to customer. Yet I am not a hotline agent, are you?
Also getting this on my Axon 7.
@Gryphticon,
hi, have you tried factory reset your phone? I guess the problem is related with the APP. You may replace the APP or upgrade it.

Okay, let's try to find the culprit. Do you guys have root? I believe those are toast notifications. Download "Toast Source" from the Play Store and see which app is bothering
I don't have root. I just installed the Toast Source app but I haven't seen the notification in a while so I'll have to just wait and see.
Ok, Toast Source just caught it and apparently the built in Download Manager app (orange icon, I'm assuming it's from zte) is giving the message. The last two times it showed up was i think after i had left range of a wifi network (screen might have been off), and after waking up in the morning and unlocking my phone.
I also had no active downloads running, and don't see anything in the list in the download manager app, so it's gotta be something happening automatically in the background.

Latest ATT Update (March '18) - new Messaging/Gallery apps?

Did anyone get the latest security update yet from AT&T?
Looks like it was security patches, but my Messaging and Gallery apps changed.
I am OK with the gallery app, and the Messaging app is OK with the exception the text is pretty damn small! I know you can pinch to zoom, but I am unable to find anyway to keep the ZOOM setting I selected in the new Messaging app, as soon as I back out and go back to a person I was chatting with, the text is back to being small.
Just confirming I'm not the only one with this issue.
Chris
Oh, believe me, you are not alone. Mine is doing the same thing. It is also showing replies to texts in white text boxes with white type. I had to switch my purchased themes 4 times to find one that didn't do this! I also lost the ability to schedule messages, and lost all of my quick responses! This is VERY annoying.
Krista
Ditto here, white text on white background for incoming texts. Exceptionally annoying.
A few people have complained on the AT&T support forums (https://forums.att.com/t5/Samsung-Discussion-Support/Text-bubble-issue/m-p/5452599/thread-id/35765), but it seems the forum moderators are going thru and deleting threads and replies. And so far, the only "answer" wasn't an answer at all, just a canned response pointing to a tutorial (that wasn't there last night, btw) on how to change messaging settings.
If anyone has any ideas, please let us know.
Using pulse for messaging. And sungstratum for theming. It's a part of substratum. No root.

I don't understand what you mean, please explain.
It's another SMS app, you can download it on the playstore.
Thanks everyone for confirming it wasn't just me. It's a shame because the stock txting app wasn't pretty bad for the past ~2 years....here's hoping AT&T steps up, otherwise I will go third party too...
Pulse is awesome. I have the paid subscription and can access my txts from any device.
First, new "update" fubared text messaging; now, there's something running in the background that's turning it into a hotplate & sucking the battery down in just a couple hours, instead of decent consumption all day long. Even after a reboot & running the "save battery" app in Settings, it's still warm to the touch, & draining the battery too quickly.
Does AT&T have plans to fix this, or is this a push to force an upgrade? (this I put to them on their forum)
SAMSUNG-SM-G891A
Android. 7.0
Patch level January 1, 2018 (so no shenanigans about "security enhancements" in this one, they ain't there)
There were betas for these updates for several months now. There must have been some big changes under the hood and this one came as a 500MB update rather than a 35MB security patch. Probably stuck with any bugs until the next major update which will most likely be Oreo. All of this is just speculation on my part.
I didn't receive any notification on my S7 Active regarding BETAs - how do you sign up for those? I would have gladly given feedback on this Messaging app....
They don't have a beta program open to the public as far as I know. Over on the firmware update thread, user khaliullov posts a link to firmware and uncovered a way to directly download firmware from ATT's servers. That's where I've seen betas for this update for the past few months. You don't want to have those betas installed as they offer no upgrade path, so you would be stuck with the issues that whatever beta you used came with.
Got it - thanks for the info!
Looks like time to investigate rooting the phone...
Just got prompted for another update - let's see what this one does...

Same here, can't really see any difference in anything so far.
No difference here either, unfortunately. I was really hoping the Messages app would be updated. This new one SUCKS.
Is there anyone would could grab the old messaging app, make it a APK and then let us sideload it? I would be VERY interested in this, as would others.... this new Messaging app is junk!
The new messaging app is really weird, but all the features are there.... you hafta hit the + sign & the features come up. To schedule messages and more.
Could be worse, half your account could be stuck in Spanish. It's been well over a year and they still can't do anything about it. Lol.
