I’ve never had an app frozen through ADB get auto-updated by the Play Store or Google Services and get re-enabled because of it. An app with an update available will even disappear from the Update list if disabled, and in order to update it you have to enable it first.
You can’t search for it. You have to open a direct link.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.safetycore
Using ADB:
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.safetycore
If you have Shizuku and aShell/ShizuShell installed, then just run this command in aShell:
pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.safetycore
Alternatively, for a GUI method, setup Shizuku and then use an app like Hail or Ice Box
You can freeze using ADB/Shizuku as well. No root needed.
People have been able to extend the electromagnetic effect to a few feet, but yeah, there’s a reason why most just use the close range version we have today.
Here’s a demo from 2009: https://youtu.be/MgBYQh4zC2Y
Microwave transmission has also been explored in addition to lasers, as you say, but either way both methods involve power loss in energy conversion, and they both are very directional, making it impractical for consumer use.
But anyway, just wanted to say that the tech technically exists since it’s funny when normal people bring it up without knowing the limitations of current technology and physics.
I mean, wireless electricity tech does exist, it just sucks and is horribly inefficient at any reasonable distance.
By upgrade, do you mean OS upgrade?
