texts: How to Put PDF on SD card for use by Adobe Reader

texts: I have phone tethered to PC, and on the "G" drive I can see the phone directories and files.  Another post, said that you have to put PDF files on SD card.  How do I navigate to the SD card, is it the "DCIM" directory?  I tried putting a file there, but Adobe Reader still says "No PDF Files Available".


texts: HTC G2 Phone randomly turns off w fully charged battery on Gingerbread 2.3

texts:
My HTC G2 running Android Gingerbread 2.3 randomly turns off while running applications such as the camera with full battery. After the random turn off I try to turn the phone on again and it won't turn on. I have to physically remove the battery, wait 30 seconds, put it back in, and turn on the phone to finally get it to work.

Is there an app to prevent this or software update or do I need a new battery?

PS: My previous phone, the Motorola Cliq w/ Android 2.1 and Motoblur also had this problem.


texts:
Why does Google intentionally disable features in most countries? Prime example being, Google Pay for Wear OS.

Background: Google Pay actually works just fine in most countries as far as I can tell, but with the Oreo update the app is constantly being disabled. If you enable it, it still continues to function as per normal.

Question: What benefits do Google get for locking this down in countries other than their selected handful?

texts:
I have a 3 week old Sony Xperia Z3 Compact (D5833). However, it suddenly turned off and refused to charge.

The phone was at ~10% charge before I plugged it in using the cable and adapter that came with the phone. I didn't notice that the charger light didn't light up because I was busy. Half an hour later, I noticed, and the phone refused to power on and also was unable to be charged.

I've attempted to follow the FAQs located on the Sony Support website:
(Main Page --> Z3 Compact --> Troubleshoot --> I cannot power on my device) and
(Main Page --> Z3 Compact --> Troubleshoot --> The phone doesn't seem to charge) but to no avail.

Is there anyone out there who can help?

Thanks in advance.


texts: How to delete a date and time tab in setting to prevent user from changing it?

texts:
(Please understand me about my broken English.)

I am a student in South Korea.

I am making a quite restricted Lenovo tablet, to make it a perfect education device. The goal is to "help" students to study hard.

To do that, I have to prevent the users from changing the system time in the "Settings", Because changing system time is a easy way to pass my time-dependent application block.

So I am trying to delete the date and time menu from the system settings, to keep only auto time:

By an experience of deleting a guest mode in the system, I think I should use the Buildprop app. But I don't know, what I should delete and change in the system.

Of course it's okay not using Buildprop.

I have a rooted device and my Android version is nougat, 7.1.1.

I'm sorry for using broken English and thanks for reading this.
Have a good day!

texts: Moto G 2nd Gen - looping on optimizing apps

texts:
I believe I have a Moto G 2nd Gen (may be 1st or 3rd, not really sure). When I turn it on, it displays the Motorola splash screen animation and then displays "Optimizing app 1 of 150", then 2 of 150, etc. until 150 of 150. Then it restarts the process from 1 of 150 again forever. I have run it overnight and it still keeps repeating.

I have all my data backed up already, so I wanted to try an external factory reset. However, following the instructions (pressing power button and volume down, selecting "Factory") only led me to a picture of a green robot with an open chest plate with the caption "No command." This forced me to restart and led me nowhere.

When I tried to boot in recovery mode, the white notification light began blinking slowly, but nothing really happened.

What should I do next?

texts:
My phone reports 131MB internal memory use but when I add up the sizes of all apps in internal memory, it doesn't add up even to 100MB. I don't have any media whatsoever in the phone. What is the culprit for my ~30MB loss?

Edit: The storage space started to drop significantly after I have upgraded the stock Android Market app to Google Play Store app. After this, I think Google Play Services has been downloaded, which takes up a lot of space. Still, it should not be taking up that much space. Strangely, when I plugged my phone to my PC via USB, the reported internal storage dropped to 70MB again. I can't find an explanation for this.

texts: How do I enable/fix cloud/use saving in Parallel Space?

texts:
so what I feel is the main issue is that, when the games in Parallel Space attempts to retrieve connect to the account, it just somehow fails. I've already tried different methods, and the most reasonable so far but still didn't work was to clone Aptoide into Parallel Space and from it update it(it somehow was install for me though)
The reason I believe it is because it fails to connect is due to the next message:
"Google Play Services won't run without Google Play Services, which are currently updating"
First before anything, it says won't run without it (and also says it will update it, update something that isn't there, fuq logic. Probably one coder slacked in there)
When I "Try"(who knows what's Parallel actually attempting) to connect to my accounts for cloud saving, it just kinda stucks with above message, and a loading animation god knows what's actually happening in the background.
My old attempts were restarting phone, clearing caches/formatting of Google Play Services and the Playstore or formatting/reinstalling Parallel.
Most solutions I've found were "Google Play Service won't run without updating Google Play Services" which is close to Parallel's Space statement, but not necessarily the same. Any help?
Please help and Thanks!

texts: Forgot Pattern and now cannot Erase Remotely

texts:
So I ended up forgetting my pattern lock. (I'm sure I remembered it yet no luck.  Maybe too many attempts and no info from google)

I went to Android Device Manager and tried the lock function to set a password, but received the dreaded "this device is already locked" so the password I set isn't used.

Then I rebooted the phone.

Then after some more pattern attempts I decided to just erase it and hope the google backup sync has my data, otherwise my adb backup from 1 month ago should be good.

So I went back to Android Device Manger to try erasing it, and now it cannot connect to the phone!!

The sim is just fine.  It is connected to my home wifi and has full bars on cellular.

What are my options?

How can I contact google?  There is no contact phone or chat support!

texts: Forgot alternative password for encrypted & fingerprint-protected Samsung Galaxy S5: how to reset it?

texts:
So I have an encrypted Samsung Galaxy S5 with Android 6.0 and set fingerprints for its lockscreen (fingerprint is set as lockscreen-type for the setting device encryption). Now it seems like I forgot my alternative password - or at least what I tried didn't work.

I can still unencrypt my phone with my password and unlock it with my fingerprints. I didn't need the alternative password so far.
But I'm not sure if it's possible that this could change - e.g. if I happen to make too many false fingerprint-attempts(?) What would you recommend me to do?

I'd prefer changing / resetting the alternative password only if that's possible.
This page has some info which could be relevant here. However that's not for encrypted phones plus I'd like to make sure that I'm not breaking anything.


texts:
I'm using the app Endomondo, to track my cycle training. Almost every second time, I forget to stop the time taking. And the app does not give a warning or anything, so it can keep recording for even hours afterwards before I notice. It is possible to edit the recording, but only by exporting, editing locally, and importing to webapp again. I think it's "impressive" that Endomondo does not notify of not moving, nor allows easy editing, since I know many people make the same mistake again and again. They started talking about this back in 2012, but haven't gotten to it yet.

A solution could be installing another app, that I can start at the same time as when starting the recording in Endomondo. And this other app should then notify me when I'm not moving, to remind me to stop recording in Endomondo. Does such an app exist?

When I'm on my work computer, I'd like to connect my phone via USB and have the possibility to answer calls or initiate calls directly from my computer, using a microphone handset directly connected to the computer, not the phone.

How can this be done?

It would be great if this would be directly connected to Google+ (like initiating a Hangout that would automatically use my phone, or a GTalk call that would use my connected phone insted of a "web" phone number).

Thanks for your help!

As many new infotainment systems in cars support Android Auto, but not wireless. I was wondering if I could program something that would allow to use a cheap Raspberry Pi as a gateway. Effectively emulating a phone on the usb side, but recieving the real data from a real phone through wifi. I'm a programmer, but I don't understand the inner workings of Android's USB system to know if it's possible or not (with or without root).

If I know where to start, I can create an open source project on github. I have experience in both a little Android programming as a few languages like .net core or python to make it work on the raspberries side.

texts:
I have an HTC Droid Incredible. I bought the "Seidio Innocell 1750 mAh Battery for HTC Droid Eris/Droid Incredible", and the instructions that come with it say...

  In order to obtain the full capacity of your Seidio battery, we highly recommend that you leave the battery/your phone on the charger for an additional 2-3 hours after the charging indicator turns green or the battery status shows full.

Does this advice apply to the Incredible or is the phone smart enough to charge the battery to full (or at least near full) without any extra charge time? If not, does the battery keep getting charged up after the light turns green?

I have a Samsung S3 which I have installed Cyanogenmod on with a view to carry out some procedures with root permissions.

At the minute I am trying to create a .img file of the userdata memory block using the DD command in the adb shell. I have a 32GB SD card which initially was formatted as FAT32 and therefore failed once the .img file reached 4GB. I expected as much but I wanted to check things were going ok before I reformatted the card.

I then formatted the SDCard as ext4 using gparted. I noticed on my ubuntu machine that the card had root ownership so I changed that to user and I can read and write files in nautilus fine.

Switching back to the adb shell, I carried out the same command as below (which is what I previously used when it was formatted as FAT32) and I get a permission error. Its driving me insane, I've tried chown'ing and chmod'ing till the cows come home and still nothing working.

Commands I'm using

$ ./adb shell
shell@mo:/ $ cd dev/block/platform/dw_mmc/by-name
shell@mo:/ $ su
root@m0:/ # dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 of=/storage/sdcard1/userdata.img

#error message is
/storage/sdcard1/userdata.img: cannot open for write: Permission denied

I've tried

chmod 777 /storage/sdcard1

and various other chowning, but still get the same issue. Am I doing something stupid (probably!) but any tips appreciated.

texts:
Unfortunately my carrier charges €0.10 per MB of data -- and I've found out the hard way that Android is a data hog.

As a result I keep my mobile data almost exclusively off.

Is there a way, perhaps through an app, to only allow some apps to use mobile data? For example I'd like to be able to use Whatsapp and Opera Mini, but disable every other service.

I've found that without wanting to, apps like eBuddy and (especially) Google Talk always want to re-connect, even when they haven't been directly run.

I am aware that as from 2.2, Google tightened security on app capabilities (especially task managers and home screen selectors). For what it's worth, my device is rooted and running CyanogenMod7 RC4 (based on Gingerbread) so this might break compatibility with pre-2.2 apps.

texts:
I just acquired a newish Kindle Fire, software version 10.2.6. Normally when I plug a Kindle or any USB device into my laptop (running Ubuntu 12.04) I get a popup screen asking me what I'd like to do and the device mounts. It has worked this way with 2 previous Kindles but they were software version 6.x.x.

So my question is, how do I mount this device so that I can move my books and files onto it from my computer?

I have ADB enabled and allow installation of applications from unknown sources. I don't have ADB installed on my computer because until now it wasn't necessary to move files back and forth in a Linux computer.

On the notification screen the Kindle says "connected as media device." I should also note that despite using Ubuntu I'm relatively unskilled when it comes to the terminal.

#define SENSOR_ACC_LABEL “LSM303DLHC 3-axis Accelerometer“
#define SENSOR_ACC_INCLUDE_FILE_NAME “lsm303dlhc.h“
#define SENSOR_DATANAME_ACCELEROMETER LSM303DLHC_ACC_DEV_NAME

#define ACCEL_MAX_RANGE 16*GRAVITY_EARTH
#define ACCEL_MAX_ODR 400

My Galaxy S3 has developed a graphics fault (see image) and I don't know the cause or the cure.  It has not been exposed to humidity or any thing magnetic and to the best of my knowledge it has not been dropped.  Im not sure whether its a hardware or an Android OS issue.

The fault is a purplish blemish that seems to be getting darker and bigger with time.  Has any body got any idea of the cause but more importantly the cure (if any).  Many Thanks

I'm trying to access a remote server using SSH on my phone but it dosent seem to work no matter the method/app I try.

I've tried various SSH apps in the play store and recently tried Termux's CLI (which seems great may I add), it successfully got the openssh packages for it, but I still can't seem to access my server from my device using the generic ssh username@domain/ip:port.

I can confirm SSH works fine from desktop using Putty on the same LAN as my phone. I can ping the server from my phone too using both the server's IP and domain.

Termux throws an error when I attempt to connect, something to the effect of Cannot resolve hostname even when using the IP address? Though, like I already said, pinging it works fine. The port is definitely open on the server as well since well, I can connect from my desktop perfectly fine.

I'm running Android 6.0.1 (latest build), my device is rooted and Busybox is also fully installed.

Any help getting my phone connected would be much appreciated!

texts: Can't install apps anymore - only via adb

texts:
I recently tried to extend my internal memory of my Moto G5 with a 128 gb sd card, so I backed up the previous smaller card to my pc, switched cards, formatted the new card as internal, copied back all the files and thought I was done. I wasn't.
I noticed that all the apps that I had parked on the sd card were not installed anymore, so I thought I'd install them again. When I tried to do that, the usual installation dialog opened but ended with "App was not installed". The
is happens whether I use Googley Play, Amazon App Store, or a local apk. With F-Droid it's a little different: It shows me that the installation failed because of an unknown error.
The only thing that seems to work is installing via adb, but that is rather impractical on the long run.
The phone is a Moto G5 running vanilla Android 8.1, and has about 1.5GB of free space in the internal storage. I tried the usual: empty cache and delete data of Google Play Store and Services, and rebooted several times before and after that.
Any ideas what I could do next?


texts:
I have a raspberry pi: it is normally run 'headless' (sans monitor).   I would like to be able to connect the video output on a Samsung Galaxy Phone.  For this exercise, the solution must use a wired connection (HDMI, USB) and not rely on a network connection (SSH / VNC or similar).

My Google search brings up articles of how to cast video from the Android device through HDMI.  I would like to wire and direct HDMI into the Android device's display.

Questions:

Assuming there is a cable that can bridge HDMI into the Android device: does Android support wired HDMI capability?  What is the nomenclature for the capability?

Bonus: can the same thing be done from the raspberry pi's USB port?  That is, direct the video out through a USB port, through a USB cable and into the Android device for display?

The SMS notification behavior is inconsistent on the Samsung Galaxy S2 after upgrading to 4.0.3 ICS.  When receiving a text message, the phone does not make a sound or vibrate, regardless of the notification settings, and regardless of the sms app used (including the default).  The screen will turn on.  This problem will go away after rebooting, but then it will return after time. This is a problem that has been discussed in several forums.

Is there a fix for this?  I'm open to rooting my phone.  I have already done a factory reset since upgrading from Gingerbread to ICS.

texts: How to download all my apps in google play when I have flashed a new ROM?

texts: When I have flashed a new ROM, I have to download all the apps I need in google play one by one, which is very inconvenient absolutely. Some of you may recommend "Titanium Backup", but it will lead to some errors with my device sometimes. So I want to download all my apps using google play in one time, instead of downloading my apps one by one. That is, I want google play to download and install all the apps in my previous ROM automatically after I have flashed a new ROM, Is that possible? Better if you have some more convenient methods.

texts: Automate: Enable WiFi Calling in GPS Coordinates

texts:
My goal is to configure my Android LG G5, running the stock ROM, to enable Wi-Fi calling when I'm at home.

I downloaded the Automate app from the Google Play Store. Next, I created a new workflow, and searched for a "block" (workflow step) to enable/disable WiFi calling. I searched under the Connectivity, Telephony, and Settings sections, and couldn't find this block type. However, there are all sorts of other settings for setting the cellular network type, enabling / disabling WiFi in general.

Is this a gap in the Automate app?


texts:
I bought a new XOLO Q700 last week, with Android jelly bean 4.2.1

I found out two ways to root the phone.

First, as per the instructions given in this website

[ROOT] Xolo Q700 Rooted before it hits the shelves!

  As quoted in the website...

  The process is really simple for rooting the phone:

  First what you need to do is download "MotoChopper" on your PC.
  Extract the .zip file  to a specific folder Install the USB drivers      using PdaNet+
  Enable USB Debugging mode on your device.
  For Windows  users, execute the "run.bat" inside the contents of the    extracted    archive. Be sure to run it as admin.
  For Linux or OS X users, execute “./run.sh” via terminal window.

  And its done! I have tested this method on windows and it is working.
  It will continuously repeat that adb server is outdated and it is
  killing it but don't worry about it, it will still continue...

  Follow the steps carefully in the terminal window. After the window
  closes itself REBOOT YOUR PHONE!!!

  To check if the phone is rooted correctly or not use, Root Checker
  Basic from the playstore, it should do your work

Second, is using the software UnlockRoot

  Though the second method is pretty simple, connect your phone and hit
  ROOT and UNROOT to revert

While the First method is a little more tedious.

So I would like to know what is the difference between  the two methods. Also which would be safer.


texts: How do I clear clipboard contents on Samsung Galaxy Tab S?

texts:
I use a Samsung Galaxy Tab S tablet running the official non-rooted ROM based on Android 4.4.2 KitKat. Sometimes i copy-paste sensitive data (like passwords etc) that i would prefer to disappear from the clipboard once i'm done using it. So i was looking for a way to clear clipboard contents on demand.

I've tried looking for existing answers to this question, but most of them share the same misconception: that clipboard can only hold a single element, and one should copy something new into it to clear what's been there before.
It's not true in my case. For example, look at the screenshot from my device, it shows something i would call a "clipboard panel" that contains eight of the most recently copied elements. This panel appears to be the only way to actually clear the clipboard contents, i.e. the 3rd party apps like Clipper or Clipboard Contents can only clear their own copies of clipboard but never the system one.

Unfortunately, getting access to the clipboard panel is a somewhat convoluted process for me. It can be accessed via Samsung Keyboard (which i don't use in favor of SwiftKey) or via some other apps, but not in a straightforward way.

So my question can be summed up to two items:

Is there a way to clear the clipboard contents other than with help of the clipboard panel?
If not, then is there a way to access the clipboard panel directly, e.g. via a shortcut on the Home screen?

Thanks!

texts: How can I mirror something on a PC's display to my Android's display?

texts:
I'm currently setting up a Pivos XIOS DS as a driver for a wallboard (which is a TV mounted on a wall). Normally this is just displaying a web page with status information (currently using Kiosk Browser for this), however, we were thinking it would be nice to have the ability to display a screen/app from someone's PC on the wallboard.

The challenge here is that this is not a touch-screen device; all we have is the Pivos IR remote. I am looking for a way of:

Remotely, from one of several workstations, initiate the display -- ideally without any action needed on the Android device, or at least with something simple like a 'Yes/No' confirm prompt that can selected using the Pivos IR remote.
Ideally once the PC ends the session, the wallboard goes back to Kiosk display. Less ideally, it's easy to return using the IR remote.

This may be a combination several things/apps that need to be done, I am just not sure what they'd be.

Remember, I am trying to display something from a PC on the Android device, shared among several people. This means:

Something that uses Google Accounts for authentication/connection won't work, since this is shared among several people (who likely are logged into their own Google accounts using Chrome)
I want to mirror the desktop display so it's displayed on the Android-connected TV. I am NOT trying to remotely control the PC from the android, or the android from the PC.

texts: mi5 screen turns off after I touch the home button / fingerprint reader

texts:
On my MI5, if I touch the fingerprint reader on the home button, the
screen turns off. Then for 5-10 seconds nothing happens, and afterwards I can click the ON button, which shows the lock screen once again.

It appears that others have hit a similar issue with the screen turning on: XDA post, MIUI forum post.

Questions:

How can I stop this from happening?
I don't use the fingerprint reader. Is there a way to disable the reader completely? The only ways I found require either root and fiddling with system files (miui post above, StackExchange question), or applying duct tape.

More details:

This started just now, not after any specific action (didn't update/install/etc)
I don't have, and never had, any password/pin/drawing/fingerprint - I only slide the lockscreen up to unlock the phone.

I tried setting a pin, and also pin+fingerprint - same behavior

texts: Apps will not auto start on Android 9.0 Pie

texts:
I bought a cheap Blackview BV5900 running on Android 9.0 (I assume a custom ROM) as I needed something rugged and with long battery life for testing purposes. I'm struggling to find any answers as to why apps won't auto start when they are supposed to. The app in question primarily is Grandstream Wave - Video which is effectively a SIP client. It auto starts just fine on an old Samsung Galaxy V6.

I've tried various auto-start apps to see if I could get around it, but it would seem they fail to load as well on boot, so they don't do the task they are intended to perform. I've been in contact with the manufacturer and their answer is it just won't do it.

As it's a test phone I'm quite happy to root it, although I'm completely new to Android, I'm sure I'll find enough info to get started with a bit of googling.

What I'm after is a bit of help on what to look for and how to find it. From what I gather, the app is looking for a BOOT_COMPLETE message of some sort, so I'm guessing that is disabled somewhere? Any answers, please assume I know nothing, you will be correct.

EDIT 11May2020

Tried the shell command as requested here - no Joy. Result from shell below. Not sure whether this just means I don't have enough privilege to run it or it's disabled in some way?

texts: Any way to force "USB debugging enabled" status using adb commands, with broken phone screen

texts:
I am trying to access my phone, after screen is broken (no way to enter swipe access or pin). I have installed Android Studio and am able to navigate to the folder containing adb in a command prompt, and enter the "adb devices" command where it shows an alpha-numeric return (I am assuming representing my phone) with an "unauthorized" status (which I am assuming means that USB debugging is disabled).

I get this returned when I try to access it via the "adb shell input text xxxx" command:

Try 'adb kill-server' if that seems wrong.
Otherwise check for a confirmation dialog on your device.

texts:
Stupidly locked boot loader and now device now won't boot.  I didn't realise I was running Nougat so now the verified boot checker prevents device from booting altogether, "Your device is corrupt. It cannot be trusted and will not boot".

All I can do is get get the devices to stock recovery which is pointless as it is not picked up in ADB and I can reset to factory here either.

I don't need to retain any data I just want to get the device working again.  Any tips? Help?

Thanks

texts: Restore app data from a copied 'com.company.appname' folder

texts:
Before wiping my 2012 Nexus 7 I created an app backup using the Backup function of the Nexus Root Toolkit (v1.8.2). This produced a large .ab file.

I want to restore a single app to the newly back-to-stock tablet.

I extracted the .ab file to a TAR using Droid Explorer and from that extracted the particular 'com.company.appname' folder. I tried simply copying that into the sdcard/Android/data/ folder but the app doesn't see the data.

Any ideas?

texts: Asus Zenfone Max Pro (M2) forced into CSC Fastboot Mode

texts:
I have Asus Zenfone Max Pro (M2) running on Android 8.1 Oreo and it was working fine, no viruses, no malware. When I was playing a game on the phone, I put it on the side, then I went to play a game on my PC. When I came back to my phone, it was turned off although it had plenty of battery left. When I tried to turn it back on, it launched into "CSC Fastboot Mode" and it will not boot normally anymore.

I have not rooted my phone either or even tampered with it. Currently, it's plugged in on the PC and in recovery mode. While the phone doesn't boot into Android, it does boot into recovery when pressing down on launch. When it's plugged in (when turned off) on the PC or in a wall plug, it turns on by itself.

I've already been searching for some similar options, but the closest post to the problem of mine was not solved or I think so:
What is CSC Fastboot Mode, and how to get rid of it?


texts: Nexus 4: Can't get phone into vibrate only mode

texts: After a recent Android update, my toggle keys for the Nexus 4 will not let me put the phone into vibrate only mode.

texts: Moto e2 doesn't recognise mobile network, what can I do?

texts:
My wife has recently switched mobile operator and now can't get mobile data. Phone calls and text are OK. WiFi is OK.

Going to Settings -> More -> Mobile Networks -> Network Operators shows a list of possible networks (The usual UK ones: EE, Vodafone etc) but not the one she's with. We've been through the APN settings and they are identical to the settings on my phone, which works.

If we turn the phone off and on again, or switch it into airplane mode and back again we get the following message:

  You have lost data connectivity because you left your home network with data roaming turned off.

I have no idea what this message means.

The operator piggybacks on EE and the name at the top left says "EE - plusnet", but there is an "R" over the mobile signal strength indicator - which we've worked out means "roaming".

I'm also with Plusnet and if we swap sims hers works properly in my phone but mine still shows the "R". This make me think it's something wrong with the phone itself.

The phone is a Moto E2 on Android 6.0 Marshmallow. It had no problem with mobile data on the previous carrier (giff-gaff).

We haven't tried a factory reset of the phone yet.

Other than that, is there anything we can do to get the phone to recognise the correct network?

At present I have

screen with some apps
weather widget
Main screen
screen full of apps

But now it is the other way round. That is 4 and 1 have been reversed.

Also notice the buttons at the bottom have also been reversed, the back button is on the right side now instead of the left

When I drag down from top of the screen, to see notifications, the icons are on the wrong side.

texts: Android phone, recover photos or messages after factory reset, is it possible?

texts:
I recently bought an Android phone on a site similar to craigslist or ebay but more locally based. After buying it, I somehow got it into my head that the phone might be stolen goods. In hindsight, the price negotiation, periferals and seller history is what got me suspicious, though I must say I'm not a 100% sure.

The seller did a factory reset, obviously, it's what you do when you give the phone to a new owner, so that's not suspicious. But I was wondering, is it possible to undo the factory reset and recover any photos or messages, even is it's just partial, maybe this could give some clues to confirm my suspicions.

So I did a google search and there are many programs that claim to do this:

www.androidrecovery.com
www.recovery-android.com
www.tenorshare.com
7datarecovery.com
www.jihosoft.com
etc.

They all offer a program with a very similar GUI, the basic structure of them is all the same, so right off the bat that's a bit flaky and not very reliable. But I tried one anyway (jihosoft.com see here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TdLzu_Q2C4 ), which seems to install an Android app on the phone, does some more stuff, and in the end it just says "gallery(0), videos(0), audio(0)". So the program might actually work as advertised, but the previous owner erased the phone properly and thoroughly.

So my question is;
Is there any way to (partially) recover photos or messages after a factory reset? Or maybe do some digital sleuthing using the IMEI nr?

It does say that some locks require setting up in Google Nest, which I downloaded and installed, but I can't find anywhere in there to add a device.

texts: My router has an adblocker, such that any request to a blacklisted domain is redirected to a port that returns a 1x1 pixel gif (pixelserv). At the moment, whenever my Galaxy S3 (with 4.3 Jelly Bean) connects to Wi-Fi, it asks me to sign-in, but my network requires no sign-in (via webpage redirect). I understand that when connecting, Android connects to a website or domain to ensure that it is not redirected, and that there is an internet connection. I think my adblocker is redirecting this request to the pixelserv, and the device therefore thinks that I must sign in to the network. I want to whitelist whatever IP or domain it is looking for. What is that domain or IP?

I recently bought an Xperia X to replace an older sony phone I had.

Does anyone know how to permanently stop this application from showing in the notification bar?


texts: Note 5 Android 6.0.1, photo import Windows, PTP does not limit folder access to camera photos

texts:
I have a Note 5 running Android 6.0.1 when I try to import photos using Photos in Windows 10 it finds all of the image files on the phone.  This is not affect by choosing PTP or MTP in the USB settings on the phone.  Trying on different PC running Windows 7 has the same result.  To me this seems like an issue with the USB Setting on the phone for PTP not limiting the PC's access to only the photo folder.  It seems like I have not had this issue in the past unless I'm completely "mis-remembering".
I've seen this question asked before but the only solution seems to be to manually move over photos using windows explorer.  Is this really the only solution?  By not using the photo import option on Windows you are loosing the ability to auto-rotate, easily organize folders, name files, and only sync new images, to name a few.
I would really appreciate any help anyone has on this.

Thank you.

texts:
Short question:

How can I obtain detailed information about my SIM card, using Android apps and/or adb (possibly root)? I'd like to diagnose mobile data connection problems possibly caused by SIM card defects.

Extended context:

I just changed my mobile operator and got a new SIM card, and everything seems to work fine except that I cannot access Internet using mobile data: whenever I try to go to any site or use any app which requires network access, a "Login required" notification pops up. Activating it opens the browser in my mobile operator's homepage, and every other site is redirected to this one.

The thing is, I do have mobile data credit, but my provider seems to be blocking it. I suspected an issue on their side, but after explaining it to technical support, they dismissed it as "probably a faulty SIM card" and told me to get another one (free of charge).

However, I can still make calls (local calls are included in my plan) and access EDGE/3G antennas (they are detected, and I can access my provider's homepage via them). I do not understand how could a defective SIM card allow this kind of behavior.

I had Wifi disabled during my tests. The APN has been configured as defined in the SIM card and checked twice to match the one suggested in their website (resetting the APN or putting the SIM on another phone reverts to the prescribed settings). Indeed it's a captive portal, intended for when you run out of mobile data (so that you can top up using your mobile and credit card), but in my case I do have available data.

I would like to know if there are apps or some adb commands which could provide more details about what's actually happening.

Note: the issue is not Android-specific (e.g. an old Symbian Nokia phone exhibits the same behavior), but I hope that a (rooted and unlocked) Android phone can provide me more detailed information about this situation.

texts: What app is activating all of my apps in turn?

texts:
Something on my phone is repeatedly cycling through all (or most) applications. Several times a day, it activates an app for a couple seconds, then moves on to the next app. It will continue doing this for many apps (maybe all of them) and it will repeat apps. Eventually it stops, but it will start again later in the day.

I notice the behavior because the rest of the phone, including the dialer, crawls to a halt. If I look at Apps -> Running I see the cycling app at the top. The screenshot shows that the cycle is currently on Facebook - an app that I have literally never used on my phone. It will cycle next to YouTube, Slacker, etc.

How can I figure out what's doing this, and how do I make it stop?

I've tried the following with no effect:

Repeatedly killing all Google Play services or processes that might be checking for updates.
Ensure that some of the activated apps are fully updated. They still appear in the running apps cycling.
Disabling Google Settings -> Verify Apps
All antennas and GPS on/off.

texts: How can I cancel an ongoing OTA update download?

texts:
Edit: Apparently this question was marked 'popular', so I thought I would mention that I found my solution, which has worked without issue: An app called DisableService which let me disable the Motorola OTA Update service. Root is required.

I've been trying to avoid my phone updating for about a week now. Every few minutes I'm switched away from whatever app I'm using to an update screen. Originally there was an option to update later, but now it's gone and I simply switch back to the app I was using. Obviously, this is quite disruptive.
Unfortunately, I tapped the 'Okay' (something to that effect) button and now it's attempting to download the update in the background. I've been able to mitigate this by stopping the MotorolaOTA app, and disabling Wi-Fi.

I'll be clearing out all my Wi-Fi connections in case my phone connects to one and continues the update.
I'll also see if I can introduce something which blocks the update servers.

How can I cancel this so I don't have to worry about the update completing? I have compatibility concerns.

How else can I battle this OTA terror? Please, you're my only hope!

I have a Motorola Moto G, XT1031.

Edit: I have multiple ideas.
One is to, and I don't yet have extensive knowledge of how SSL certificate authorities work, but to introduce a custom root CA, with a CRL including the update server.

Cruder methods include:
running a nameserver to use when on Wi-Fi, which blocks the update server, or a proxy/VPN which could filter requests.
Maybe I could create a fake update server which says, "all good, no updates" and make my phone talk to it with a custom root CA certificate.

While they used to be taken as they appear on the screen, they are now stored with "extra space", i.e., as if zoomed out further than was apparent while taking the photo. This is very annoying when I'm trying to frame a shot in some particular way. To get the photos I want I am now forced to take the picture, hope for the best, and then crop it to how I wanted it to be framed in the first place.

Has anyone found a way to change this back to "normal" what-you-see-is-what-you-get style photo shooting?


texts: Delete the "Phone" part of a contact whilst keeping the "Google" part?

texts:
HTC Hero with HTC Sense - Android 2.1.

Contacts can be either stored on "SIM", "Google" or "Phone". Many contacts are duplicated on "Phone", but I want them all in "Google" so I can manage easily. I've managed to copy all "Phone" to "Google", but now want to remove from "Phone".
However, whenever I try to delete a contact (e.g. Bob), it deletes Bob from "Phone" AND "Google". I can't find a way to delete Bob from just "Phone" - any ideas? Factory reset is throwing the baby out with the bathwater, and not a great technical solution...


texts: How to turn my android to a wacom tablet?

texts:
I want to try drawing digital but I don't think I'm ready for something like wacom tablet and it's kinda expensive so I don't want to waste my money for something I can't use well. I have a samsung galaxy tab and when I search for a way to avoid buying it, I found that I can turn my tablet to something like it but when I try to download the programs that they recommend in the playstore it said that I have to root my tablet but I don't want to root it.

I was wondering if it is possible to use a tablet (i.e. my samsung galaxy tab) as a Wacom-esque drawing tablet when connected to a hp laptop (without rooting my tablet)?

texts: Generate a location intent to share to other apps from a Google Maps

texts:
Normally, the share mechanism in Google Maps Android App shares text (containing an URL pointing to Google Maps website).

There is though an specific location intent in Android, that any app can catch. When I send such intent from other apps, I can embed a location in messaging apps or open that location in different map apps (including Google Maps).

How do I generate such intent from a pinpointed location in Google Maps, from the user interface?

For example, I have installed Maps.ME which does accept location intents too. How do I start a location intent with Google Maps and catch it with Maps.ME, to share a given location? I'm also interested in workarounds if no in-app solution is available.


texts: How to a flash the rom.zip file to my Android phone?

texts:
I extracted the rom.zip from the HTC RUU installation and I want to flash it to my phone.

In case it matters, it is an HTC Desire HD, rooted with Cyanomod and ClockMod Recovery on it.

All I want is to flash the original stock firmware back to the phone. Because the phone has now a different firmware RUU will not recognise it.

What I need to do?

PS. I tried to rename the file to PB32IMG.zip and use the update from zip option but it doesn't work.

Hey guys i just rooted my Motorola Droid RAZR (HD) with kingroot and i want to install CM 12.1 nightly. Before i proceed, i need to unlock my bootloader. After sitting infront of PC for 3-5 hours now, i finally give up.

I downloaded Android SDK + fastboot. Enabled USB debugging and booted phone in fastboot mode. The problem is, when i try the oem commands, get_unlock_data for instance, it says "unsupported command". I am really sick of it, i need serious help.

Any alternatives to get unlock data or unlock bootloader would be appreciated.

texts: ''insufficient space on the device'' – but my sd card has plenty space?

texts:
I bought my Android phone a month ago (a Prestigio 3350 Duo) and installed maybe 5 apps on it, so according to the memory card I have almost 2 gb of free space, and 28 mb on internal storage. But when I try to install some apps it keeps showing off that message.

I don't know why, tried to clear cache (which helped a little) – but still I can't install an app of about 34 mb.

Can someone help me fix this problem? I know there're similar posts but I appreciate any help. Thanks :)

With the "Google Podcasts" app, I have been downloading episodes of several podcasts that I listen to, but am months behind and the podcasts only leave a month's worth up.

I thought that downloading them to my phone would keep them around even after they expired from the Podcast's stream, but apparently it doesn't, because the old, unlistened to, downloaded ones are not there.

What the heck?  How do I keep old episodes until I am ready to listen to them?

(Attention: Samsung's 9.0-Pie / One UI is different from stock Android)

Is there any way to completely disable vibration in a Samsung phone running their flavor of Android Pie (9.0)?

I already have Settings / Sound and vibration / Vibrate while ringing tuned OFF, but the phone still vibrates for various notifications.

The problem is that vibration makes this phone slide off whatever hard surface it's on.
