Liveness check was a standard feature of android 4.2. Google implemented it as a response to people complaining that ICS could be unlocked with a photo. The liveness check could be fooled with a photo and a finger briefly covering the eyes

[@darksill]

for anyone wondering why this thing started lagging so much.... from my experience with old low spec phones its most likely the playstore and google services once you start the playstore its gonna update and the new version is like 100times more bloated than its original state so the phones are just runing out of memory constantly lagging as hell

[@muhamadrizkyananda]

Google Play Services can take like entire your storage phone, mine in xperia z5 is like 1 GB

[@qwertykeyboard5901]

Not just the memory! It also chews up the cpu leaving almost nothing for the system itself.

[@joemck85]

My first smartphone was an HTC Design Evo 4G. It was a decent midrange phone at the time, but by the time I replaced it in 2017 it had this problem. I would uninstall updates to Play Services and it would become at least somewhat usable again. Then it would silently update itself after some time and it was back to telling people I missed their call because by the time the "answer" button responded the call had gone to voicemail.

Regarding dialer codes, because the modification apps are generally made independently by each manufacturer, there is no universal code that will work on many devices. To find the codes you usually have to dump the ROM and decompile the apps that do the changing, but there are apps that will poll a list of secret codes from the device. Those lists may not be super comprehensive (some of the logic for determining what a code does might be compiled instead of listed in the app manifest), and could be dangerous (wipe phone without confirmation), but it's a start. I'm around if you want some info on how to dump ROMs from MediaTek devices. I make a ROM dump of every knockoff MediaTek phone I get, and you don't actually need the original scatter file to make a dump (but you will need to create one if you want to flash modified ROMs back).

If you want a phone that works for $40 to $60 you should get a Samsung J2 especially the Samsung J2 2019 version.

It's my only phone and I use daily and a lot. Like a hell of a lot and it lasts almost all the day for me other then when I game.

qHD screen 540 x 960 resolution? Does the "q" stand for "quite"?

[@hitot7426]

qHD is an actual spec, if I recall correctly it stands for quarter HD because it's 1/4th the resolution of 1080p (960x540 vs 1920x1080). I remember buying a qHD phone advertised as being qHD from a reputable brand back in 2014, and it was pretty popular in the Android world (particularly the budget sector) from 2011-2014 or so.

The ghost touch thing, the non-responsiveness and randomly doing what it wanted, I also had with my Asus Nexus 7 2012 after less than a year of use. Amongst many other issues. Cannot stretch enough how crappy Asus' products were back then. Edit: Actually it also had the "battery died even when it was charging" thing, where you could have it plugged in to the charger and it still lost battery percentage. (Amongst other issues) Maybe the phone in the video is secretly made by Asus 😂
