Phone: Nexus 5
OS: 5.1.1
I have a lot of apps on my phone: probably 100+. A lot of them I use only once or twice a month.  I hooked up my phone to ADB recently and saw a ton of crashes, etc.  But what worried me most was New Relic.  I have 2 questions

How can I find out which app installed this New Relic Agent?
How can I uninstall the app?


texts:
Two months back from now I installed LightROM oreo, it was fine then but after two months it started to get slow. So I decided to flash pie or Q rom, but from my previous experience whenever I install a pie or Q port of note or some else model it started to get hot or lag. This time I for some reason thought, lets try NOUGAT but it ended up horribly as my phone now keeps on restarting and rom is either not flashed. It stucked in bootloop so I flashed stock rom with REPARTITION OPTION checked in Odin with pit file. Tried every trick in the book that I knew of but it keeps on restarting, meaning if I go to recovery(TWRP flashed via Odin from AP tab) it restarts after couple of moments or became hang in recovery mode. In OS mode keeps restarting after every couple of moments. I have attached the last_kmsg file.

What things I have tried;
Flashing BL separately.

Flashing them together.
Trying old TWRP versions.

texts: How to avoid the screen turning on for each notification?

texts:
Problem

I have a Nokia 3 with stock Android installed, not rooted. Whenever the phone receives a notification, the screen turns on. I wish to change this, mostly because it drains the battery and causes me to activate the camera in my pocket.

In fact, I would appreciate if the screen only turns on when I press the power button.

Edit As was said in the comments, the Nokia comes with Android 7 (Nougat) installed.

What I have tried so far

Just for the record, I did browse through the settings of the phone looking for an obvious choice, and could not find any way to turn it off.
I have tried every possible setting for lockscreen notifications to no avail.
There is no Ambient display option in the Display section of my settings.
There is a screensaver option there, but whether it is on or off makes no difference.
After reading this, I tried using another text message application than the default. That also did not help.

texts:
Recently I have noticed that my cellular company (TIM, I'm in Brazil) has been charging me for network connections daily. I rarely use cellular network since at home and in my job has wifi and I don't mind being 30 minutes without internet.
I called them and they said it's due the device having its preffered network at 4G, not 3G. When I changed the preffered network to 3g, it stopped charging me. They won't retrieve my money because they received a signal so for them there was an internet connection (even though the data received is like 1kb). It's horrible to keep changing it to 3g/4g every time I need to turn it off or on.

But anyway, my device is a Motorola X Play running Android 6.0.1.
The question is: does Android send 4g signal even with mobile data turned off? If so, is there a way to make it stop?

Edit: Following some comments, I lsoe signal a lot due the subway and closed places. That could explain it?

texts: Data recovery on boot-looped Samsung Galaxy S II GT-i9100

texts:
I have a boot-looped Samsung Galaxy S II GT-i9100, running the Android 2.3 Gingerbread it came with, unrooted and unmodified (although Optus-branded).
The phone's battery depleted while the phone was running; now, any attempt to boot the phone results in the boot sequence looping indefinitely.
I wish to recover data from this device (before attempting to solve the boot-loop problem later via factory reset or other method).

I read the boot-loop tag information but the instructions have not been helpful for me: I have tried to boot into Safe Mode, but my attempts also trigger the indefinite boot-loop; I wiped the cache via stock recovery but that had no effect; and, the last recommendation was a factory reset which I won't follow until I have recovered the data.

I believe USB Debugging is already enabled. I have an 8GB external SD card and I have Linux Mint 13 as my desktop operating system.

This answer indicated that it should be possible to root the phone and recover data via the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) for a different Samsung Galaxy S version, but I need instructions for the Samsung Galaxy S II GT-i9100 if this avenue is worth pursuing.
This seems related to this question but could be a different variant and issue. It's not the same as this question because I need to recover data.

texts: OnePlus One: Multiple issues involving MTP and Google Play on updating to CM13 via OTA

texts:
Device: Oneplus One

Android version: 6.0

Cyanogenmod 13.0

Today, I saw there was an update for 20151203 OTA and decided to download it and flash it via TWRP like I usually do. Before that, I was running on 5.1.1 (I think) and I didn't realize that it was updating me to Android 6.0 until my phone rebooted. Upon flash and reboot, I have the following errors

Google Play Services has stopped working: The popup is constant and annoying, sometimes stacking up and by the time I close one stack, another one appears! Makes the phone impossible to use. I read up on a few solutions, where one said - set your location services to "Device Only" and the other was go to settings → apps → reset app preferences. Tried both, didn't help much, still have the annoying popup.

Also, in my notification tray, there is a message saying "Google Play Services won't run unless you update Google Play Services". Everytime I click the notification, it opens a few activity which is just blank, I can't do anything. Google Play is present in my app drawer but on clicking it, I get the same blank screen.

Ever since I flashed, I'm unable to browse my files via my computer. I connect it via the USB cable and while my system is able to identify my device and even asks me if I'd like to browse it's files, when I click "Okay", I get a blank page as if my device has nothing (not even an internal storage option like before). However, my files are intact on my device for I'm able to use file manager and browse it on the device itself.

The problem I kind of solved partially by toggling the USB Configuration type (which was on MTP by default) to something else, then toggling it back. Not quite sure why it happened, but that's how I fixed it for the time being. Although, the second bug isn't completely gone. On rebooting the phone and the connecting it to my system, I'm presented with the same problem. However, on toggling that config type again, it appears, but one can't be expected to do this everytime he wants to connect the phone to his system right?

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

EDIT: Shout out to Tamoghna Chowdhury for the quick help. Finally resorted to wiping, and clean flashing CM13 along with GAPPs for MM. Everything works fine now. Thanks for all your help!

texts: How to install SuperSU using adb while the phone is in TWRP recovery with a broken screen

texts:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 SHV-E330S with a broken screen (cannot see or touch anything). Please see this and it's comments for more context

I have managed to flash TWRP on this phone (https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxys4ltea.html) and now I can boot the phone into recovery mode and during this time I can use adb to get a root shell on the phone

I would like to find a way to stream it's screen to the laptop monitor and control it using adb, but I suppose I will need to root the android OS first to this more easily

I cannot use the phone screen so I am not sure how I can install SuperSu.apk from the phone itself. Is there a way to install it through adb? I think the adb shell I get while the phone is in recovery is not the android OS if I understand it correctly, so I don't know adb pm install while in recovery will install the apk correctly. Using adb to control the phone while in recovery is the only I can do anything at all with this phone at the moment so as far as possible I don't want to do anything wrong which might make me loose control of adb during recovery. What is the best way to go about this?

Or is there any way to get adb authorization for android OS, without root and completely through adb while in recovery?


texts: how can I control the second internal clock

texts:
My alarm clock app has been occasionally failing to ring in the morning, but I don't believe the problem is due to the app.

In other news I recently added a lock screen app that happens to display the time in two locations on the screen (one from app itself and other my widget) and on days when the alarm fails to ring I noticed that the second clock just stops, (which today says 3:52 am)

I have been checking the two clocks before bed, but last night when I checked it was good, yet the alarm failed this morning and now the times are different

I presume there are two internal clocks and the lock screen and alarm app are both using the problem clock, which is probably being killed by some task killer.

I can't afford to oversleep again!

texts: SU binary exists, but not executeable (no error while executing from terminal, just empty)

texts:
My friend is having a little problem with his phone where he can't update or use banking software on it because of root even though he has never rooted it and root checkers gave me mixed results, some says its rooted and some says its not rooted. So after looking around i downloaded a terminal and ran "su", it ran without errors, but it didn't do anything and didn't output anything.

Now, im not fully sure if this is what is causing his phone to not be able to update, but it does seem odd to have the su file on the phone without it actually being rooted, my guess is that the phone was bought used and the previous owner was attempting to root the phone but failed and just gave up. So, now me and my friend are trying to find a way to get his phone "unrooted" even though its technically not rooted. What should we do?

I am using a Samsung Galaxy S4 running Android 4.2.2. Currently both SMS and Email notifications have the same sound. Before I was on this phone I was on an iPhone and this was easy to change. I cannot find a way to distinguish between alerts.
In browsing this site for an answer I came across this question which had this answer:

You can customize the Notification settings for both Gmail and Messaging in each of the apps separately.
In Gmail press menu and go to More->Settings and look at the Notification settings section.
In Messaging press menu then Settings and look at the Notification settings section.

I assume this answer is out-of-date because it doesn't work on the Galaxy S4.
I am using the Stock Gmail App for email and I use GO SMS PRO for messaging.
How do I change to separate alerts?

texts: Bug or feature? Android ignores DNS servers with IPv6 ULAs when in an isolated ULA network?

texts:
This has cost me some hours of finally tracking it down, but I would like to know if someone can please shed light on this issue?

Android 6 and 7 do not accept DNS servers with IPv6 ULA addresses. Using some diagnosis apps, I can see that Android does in fact learn the DNS server addresses from router advertisements. But after some seconds, Android deletes them. But it keeps any SLAACed ULAs. Unfortunately, without DNS, these devices are pretty much useless in IPv6 networks with ULAs.
(But see note below.)

In contrast, when using GUAs for the DNS server address, Android 6 happily learns and uses them.

Any reason why Android dislikes DNS servers with ULAs and only accepts "real" global addresses? Seems to take the meaning of "globalization" to a new level... ;)

Update 2: Android 7 in general does not accept ULAs, but instead considers such a network as not working and won't connect to it (tested with an Ethernet-wired Samsung Tab S7 running Android 7.0).
Update: Android 6.x actually can accept DNS server ULAs, but I'm seeing this only when the network interface not only has an ULA, but also a GUA assigned. No GUA, then DNS server ULA get rejected. Now that is strange. I've updated the title to reflect this finding.

texts: Nandroid Backup Fails with extractTarFork() error

texts:
Long story short, I tried to install MultiROM on my Nexus 6P, and it failed.  So I tried to restore my backup using TWRP 3.0.2.0, and it keeps failing at exactly 7800MB with the error E:extractTarFork() process ended with ERROR=255.  I have seen posts talking about checking the log when this happens, but I'm not sure exactly how to do that.

What exactly do I need to do to restore my backup?

I guess I should add some detail.  I first tried booting to recovery and restoring the backup.  The phone rebooted into a boot loop part of the way through the restore process every time I tried that.  Then, I tried flashing the phone completely back to the stock image, and then restoring.  I got the error 255 above.  Then, I tried flashing back to stock completely, wiping Dalvik/cache, and restoring the backup.  I still get the same error message.  I tried restoring everything except userdata, and the phone reboots part of the way through the restore.

I could easily reroot, reinstall Xposed, and reflash TWRP if for some reason my system backup partition is corrupted.  However, I don't want to lose my data partition at all.  That was the whole reason I made the backup in the first place.

texts: Strangely colored boot backgrounds after crash of stock 6.0.1

texts:
A few days ago my Nexus 5 running stock Android Marshmellow 6.0.1 crashed. Some application, I think it was Google Maps, got 'stuck' in an animation, after which the phone shut down. It wouldn't reboot until I connected the power adapter (despite the battery being at 50+%).

Ever since then, when I boot the phone, the background is bright green instead of the usual black. The edges of the boot animation are slightly jagged and when the home screen is initially shown, the colors are all weird, as in a old photo negative. A single button press redraws the screen and after that everything works fine.

To be absolutely clear about that last part: the phone is completely functional, except for the weird boot background colors described in the previous and following paragraphs.

I do no succeed in entering recovery mode: the phone only shows a plain coloured background. If I press the power button once in that state, the phone does boot, suggesting it actually is in recovery mode, but I just can't see the menu.

Now for an interesting thing: the background colour varies between 4 or 5 different colours. I've seen the same green as during 'regular' boot, but also a bright blue, a blue-green, a somewhat purple blue and a yellow-brownish background (I'm not certain all blues are actually different, there are at least 2, maybe 3)).

The same colors are shown when, during boot, I press the power button and keep it pressed until the boot sequence is interrupted and the phone reboots. If I repeat the rebooting a couple of times, the colour of the background may differ from reboot to reboot. Sometimes the same shade of blue appears 4 times in a row, sometimes followed by a green, rarely by the yellow-brown, etc.

It's a complete mystery to me what is going on. Google doesn't give me any useful results and I cannot find any documentation that explains what is going on. Has any of you seen this and can you explain how I can get out of this situation?

How to install the Apps directly from PC ?
Ans: I have a Google Account. I open the https://market.android.com/ site on PC and login with my Google Account. I have set this Google Account as  Primary Google Account in my Android Phone.
Now if I Click on Install of any application on my PC, I can see the same application downloading on my phone's notification bar.

I saw the application 100% downloaded. And I wait for the application to be installed. Of course after downloading the application my phone will automatically installs the application. We need to watch thats it.

But most of the apps are getting downloaded more than once. I don't know why it is happening ? I saw the application downloaded 100%. But again starts a fresh download without doing anything.

I remember while updating the Google Maps and Facebook had the same issue.

My Rear Camera doesn't work and the Firmware version for it is null and I think I need to install it manually. How do I do that in a Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9515L with PDA I9515LUBU1BOJ1 and CSC I9515LZTM1BOI1?

Everytime I open my camera app, I get a black screen and some of those times it shows a Updating Camera Firmware. Please Wait...

When researching the web,  I found the *#0*# code that tells me Data Line Fail and Camera Failed when I hit the Mega Cam buttom.

Also, the *#34971539# code shows me that I have no firmware installed:

Rear Camera (Main)
Cam FW Ver: null
Phone FW Ver: S13F0LAGE10

What I tried:

Factory Reset. After this, the Google Account got in and re-installed every app and restored every data, but I didn't consider this being the problem due to the Cam FW Ver: null appearing to state that I have no Camera Firmware currently installed.
Phone Firmware Update. I found a Firmware on SamMobiles that matches my Country and Carrier dated 2 weeks ago for Android 5.0.1. I know I hadn't gotten this from OTA because although I use TIM carrier, my phone had the Claro carrier logo, so technically my provider and the firmware didn't match each other. I successfully installed the 5.0.1 firmware and the phone works perfectly, except the camera problem that still persists (no Firmware version).

My guess is that I have to install the camera firmware manually, but I have no idea how to do it. I'd love if somebody could point me to the direction in which I can find the solution.

When opening the app, it gives some freezes, but it's possible to hit the switch camera and use the front camera regularly.

Thank you very much.


texts: How to switch to vibrate mode using only hardware keys

texts:
I have a Nexus 4, and I would like to be able to switch it to vibrate mode without having to look at the screen or unlock it. My previous phones had this ability (my iPhone had a switch dedicated to this on the side, and on my flip phone before that I just held down the volume down button). I've found this feature pretty useful in many situations where I realize after the fact that I want my phone to be silent, but I don't want to show that I'm silencing my phone (movie theaters, churches, meetings, etc.). I keep my phone in my pants pocket, and the other two phones allowed me to silence them without even removing them from my pocket.

I've tried holding down the volume up, volume down, or power buttons, but that doesn't do anything. I know that there are apps that I can configure to automatically silence based on my location, time of day, and/or calendar items, and while those are useful they still don't give me a universal way to silence the phone with minimal interaction. A home screen or lock screen widget won't work for me because my work requires that my phone lock itself, and doesn't allow me to put widgets on the lock screen.

I'm also not interested in rooting my phone, but a free or paid app (preferably on the Google Play store) is fine. Really, an ideal solution would be an app or setting that allows me to press and hold the volume down button (while the phone is still locked) to put it in vibrate mode.


texts:
I am using latest android on my phone. One issue I face is that I have a lot of apps installed. Many of them generate notifications which I dont want to loose. If I leave notifications unattended for a day or two, a lot of notifications get stacked up (almost 100+). I dont want to turn off those notifications. I just want better way to handle those notifications:

is there any way (or app) to archive notifications
is there any way to group notification belonging to same app (so that I may decide to archive or delete all of them)
is there any way (or app) which allows me to archive or delete all notifications at specific dates or dates older than the specified one
For many months my phone has issue of restarting and with each restart the notifications get cleared. So I also want to know if there is any way (or app) that can periodically backup/archive notifications so even if my phones restarts I can always pull them up.

texts: Exporting call records with phone call recordings from Mega Call Recorder Advanced app

texts:
This is a long-shot, but I really hope someone can help.
I was using the Mega Call Recorder Advanced Android app to record phone calls for quite some time.  Its official package name was com.callrecorder.procallrecorder and the developer's name was MEGA Clip.
Although I still have the app installed, it disappeared from the Play Store a while back.  I'm not sure why, as it worked quite well.  I did notice that its UI is very similar to many other call recording apps, and so I wonder if perhaps it was based on another project.
At this point, I have many GB of recorded calls stored by this now-defunct app.  The calls are stored in standard MP3 format, and the filename of each is the timestamp of the call.  So far so good.  The big issue is that the filenames do not indicate the phone number (or contact name)  of the caller (for incoming calls) / call recipient (for outgoing calls).  That data is visible in the app's UI, but I don't see any export function.
I want to backup all of this app's data and have the backups in a usable format.  To do that, I need to somehow have a record of which contact (or at least phone number) each recording is associated with.  Ideally, I would like the MP3 filenames themselves to include that essential information.
I'm hoping someone will have a good idea of how to proceed, or perhaps recognize the UI and know of another app that can perhaps export the data.
I have a strong hunch that there are other call recorder apps out there that are based on the same code.  Someone even wrote a review on the Google Play store noticing the same thing (see last screenshot below).  Perhaps one of those apps has a good export function and could read the data files from this app.
Here is what the app looks like (screenshots courtesy of the Google Play store), as well as other relevant screenshots:

texts: Broken OnePlus One - Data recovery possible?

texts:
So I've got a OnePlus One that's been badly smashed up (no screen or digitizer), and I was wondering if there's any hope of trying to rescue some (or even all) of the data off it?

Some details:

1 - The device still switches on

2 - It's running the latest version of Cyanogen OS (I think 13.1.12)

3 - It's still recognized by my PC when I connect it via USB. (I can't retrieve any data from it because of that annoying thing where you first have to give it permission when you plug it in)

4 - USB Debugging wasn't enabled, so ADB isn't picking it up either.

Any help/advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

texts: Location high accuracy mode with wi-fi turned off

texts:
My understanding: location mode «High Accuracy» is more efficient than «Device only» because it unburdens some of the GPS task by using Wi-Fi networks information.

Consider these settings:

«Scan always available» is set to «off»
«Keep Wi-Fi on durin sleep» is set to «always»

If «location» is enabled in «High Accuracy» mode, but the Wi-Fi is disabled, does this mean that location works as if in «Device Only» mode?

So in order for the «High Accuracy mode» to actually work you have to have either «Scan always available» «on» or the Wi-Fi on. Is that correct?

texts: How to see YouTube video title in landscape mode?

texts:
Scenario: Playing a mix playlist in car dock in landscape mode. Like current song and want to see name.

How do I do this?

Things I've tried:

Collapsing the video just shows the mini player in the corner with playlist in background, no video info.
Onscreen menus have no choices that show video info.
Tapping while playing also shows no video info.

Workarounds, sort of:

I can turn the device to portrait and info shows. Not convenient when in dock or while driving.
I can share the video with myself via email then scroll down and read the email body without sending it. Also inconvenient and stops the song since YouTube can't play in background. (And, philosophically, this is a goofy way to do this.)

How can I see the name of the video (song in my case) currently playing? I'm sure there is a simple way that I am just missing.

Android 4.4.2, and whatever the latest version of YouTube is at the time of this writing, with the new fancy red top bar.

texts: How to prevent the use of a phone as a second-factor security confirmation

texts:
Mobile phones are frequently used to read email and access secure online accounts.  So the average phone contains both the account signon usernames and the associated passwords.  Email has been used for resetting a password, and is also accessible using the phone.  Recently many host sites have started using text messages a second factor security mechanism.
The popular use of mobile phones as a second-factor security mechanism has inadvertently caused a huge security problem.  The odds are much higher that your phone will be lost or stolen than you becoming a victim of an online attack or suffering the compromise of your online account password.  Since a typical phone grants access to everything, including the ability to reset passwords and get past 2-factor security based on your device, the phone has become a valuable target for theft much more than ever before.
So now if your phone is lost or stolen, the attacker will be able to access everything the phone has been enabled to access.  And you will not be able to access ANYTHING without your phone.  You may not even be able to reset your password or lock your accounts.
Is there any way to stop the use of a text message as a second-factor account confirmation?  I would prefer the use of personal questions to confirm my identity.  The only alternative I know of is to not use your phone at all for email or accessing high-value online accounts.  And I highly recommend you enable tracking to allow you to find a lost or stolen phone quickly.

My issue now is that I can't use 'fastboot' anymore as my device isn't being recognised and so wondering if there is a fix that can be applied from twrp recovery itself.

Also must mention that device has been rooted (though not sure if it still is as I can't boot into a ROM) & has an unlocked bootloader (which can't be locked either).

Thanks in advanced.

texts:
I need to recover data from my AT&T LG Thrill Android Phone

Background:

My AT&T LG Thrill phone's battery died a couple of days ago because I forgot to charge it. When I charged the phone and tried to turn it on, it showed the LG logo followed by the dropping balls and the AT&T "Rethink Possible" screen. I then get a mesage that the Application Google Services Framework has crashed and the phone goes into a loop with the dropping balls showing again followed by "Rethink Possible" screen. This sequence repeats itself over and over and the phone does not get out of this loop.

I have been able to go into the recovery screen (both Safe Mode and the Android Recovery Service) and have cleared cache, etc. However, I DO NOT want to wipe user data and restore to factory settings as this will wipe all of my data (pictures, application data, etc).

Solution Needed:

I need a suggestion to a way of accessing my data so that I can back it up onto an SD card/computer. I DO NOT want to root the phone as this may void the warranty. What I'm looking for is a way of perhaps putting the original flash image on the micro SD card and then have the phone read that image. Or some other similar solution that will get the phone out of this loop and allow me to get to the data.

texts: Problem running z4root on Galaxy S GT-I9000

texts:
I installed Z4root on my Galaxy S (the original, not the S II) after reading this post, using the APK file attached to the post (can't find it in market). The thread leads me to believe that the process is as simple as installing, switching USB debugging on and pressing the root button. Not in my case.

Results:

First time, the app didn't get further than the "running root exploit" message (waited 30+ mins)
After rebooting the phone out of desperation, when I press the permanent root button it gets as far as the "acquiring root shell" message and the app either just disappears (with no results) or the app stops working and I get the force close window.

I've tried this many times with reboots in between, both plugged in and unplugged and no different results. Do later SGS models have some anti-root hax built into them? Have I missed something obvious about the process?

Extra info:

The phone does not have three button recovery mode
The author of the app claims to be from the same country as me, and his phone is also SGS running Froyo. If we are cursed with weird "international" hardware I would've expected the same to happen to him.
The thread talks about a superuser app being installed after the phone reboots. I already had Superuser installed (but never been able to use it because I haven't successfully rooted ever). I uninstalled the app and tried z4root again, but nothing different happened.
The thread suggests using adb logcat to get debugging info, but logcat spews an endless stream of info that is much longer than the examples I've seen in the thread (long enough that my terminal buffer loses the top info before it finishes). What I can see doesn't seem like it is related to z4root.

texts: USB-C port not working as a host to use with USB OTG or HDMI adapter

texts:
I have a Samsung Galaxy A9 which I'm trying to connect to an external HDMI display by the means of a commonly-found USB-C to HDMI adapter like this one. Connecting the USB-C input "lights up" the adapter, and Android shows the adapter as charging, but it does not work with multiple HDMI cables and monitors.
After searching everywhere with no avail, I noticed that the notification area shows that adapter - briefly - connects and disconnects multiple times before it disconnects permanently (while still showing that the adapter is being charged).
Some screenshots:

Here the USB connector is shown connected (it disconnects soon afterwards, but I couldn't get a good shot of it) and charging.

Now the device has "disconnected" (I presume?) yet still charging.
I also tried forcing the phone to act as a host of the connection in the settings, but that also fails.

How can I enable USB OTG in my device (if it's not already enabled)? I take that the device should be able to do this screen sharing since it was produced in 2018, and I've seen older devices in videos performing it just as well. What can I do to fix this USB error and enable other things (such as a USB hub or a keyboard) to be used together with the phone?
Similar questions to this one are very old and not quite close, so that's why I'm asking again.
Many thanks, feedback is appreciated.

texts: Xperia L C2105: Wifi not turning on after installing Android 5.1.1

texts:
I have installed latest Android 5.1.1 from the website https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=taoshan. I have done this with the help of the following steps.

Unlocked the phone and root it with the help of flash tool before it I have latest stock ROM installed on my phone.
Using flash tool I flashes the CWD recovery.
Downloaded the ROM from the website mentioned before and copied to SD Card.
Rebooted the phone and by press volume + goes to CWD recovery.
From recovery menu I did "Wipe data/factory reset", "Wipe Cache partition" and "Wipe delvik cache".
From recovery menu I select "install from zip"->"install zip from SD Card" and then selected the ROM zip file.
I Also installed gapps zip file after. Both are installed successfully.
Rebooted the phone and the apps installation completed.

Blue-tooth, Camera, mobile data and all others apps working good. Also the speed of my phone greatly improves and the phone memory shortage issue solved. The only issue I have is the Wifi and hotspot is not turning on at all.

texts: I am using Android x86 4.4 RC2 (Dual-Boot not Virtual) and I can't connect to the internet. Whenever I click Wi-Fi, it stays on "Turning on Wi-Fi" and the Wi-Fi button is grayed out like the option is not available. I opened the terminal and used netcfg to see if the Wi-Fi driver (wlan0) was on but it wasn't so I turned it on by typing "netcfg wlan0 up" and it was up so I went back to the Wi-Fi settings but it still wasn't working. What do I do to enable Wi-Fi?


texts: What is the difference between NB and WB entries in mixer_gains.xml?

texts:
LineageOS for my phone has these sections with entries in the mixer_gains.xml file:

<path name="gain-incall_nb-handset-mic">
<path name="gain-incall_nb-handset-mic">
<path name="gain-incall_nb-speaker-mic">
<path name="gain-incall_nb-speaker-mic">

<path name="gain-incall_wb-dex-speaker-mic">
<path name="gain-incall_wb-dex-speaker-mic">

But I can't find what NB and WB stand for, or their difference, which makes it hard to know which to alter.

(I'm guessing they could stand for "no <something>" vs. "with <something>" but that doesn't help much)

texts: How to get Google (Play) Services on Huawei phones bought in China?

texts:
I have bought a Huawei Nova 3e (aka Huawei P20 Lite) from China but it does not include Google Play Store / Gmail and other Google services.

I have tried several things

Installing and running "Google Installer" (version 1 and 2.0)
Installation Google Framework, Google Play Services, etc. in different orders (as seen on different websites), either by copying from a phone with a working Google Play Store or from apps.evozi.com

Previously, I was using some Xiaomi and I had to install a Global ROM which included Google stuff.

Shall I also install a new ROM on my Huawei phone?

Or shall I root it?

Thanks

texts: Some songs don't show up in Google Play Music on phone?

texts:
Before I start, no this is not a duplicate of this question. They just happen to have similar titles.

Anyway, I wanted to listen to music on my Moto X smartphone. So like I have always done with every MP3 player and old phone I've had in the past, I just connected the phone to my computer with a USB cord, and then used Windows Media Player to sync the music files to the phone.

As far as I can tell, Google Play Music is the only app on the phone that allows you to play music files. So I opened the app up and set it to "Downloaded Only" in the sidebar menu. Then I went to "My Library," but to my surprise many of my songs weren't there!

With the phone hooked up to the computer I can look in the Moto X's "Music" folder, and all my songs that I synced are there. But inexplicably some albums don't show up in the Google Play Music app. Can anyone tell me why this is and/or how to get it so I can play these files? Thanks!

texts: Is it possible to disable Google Play indefinitely?

texts:
I have an HTC Desire. This phone sadly has very limited internal memory although plenty of memory card memory. Since owning it I've become accustomed to moving any apps I download onto the SD card and using the internal memory as little as possible. Unfortunately some applications insist on being installed in the internal memory. Some of these applications (Adobe Acrobat and Google Maps for example) have become larger and larger as more updates have come from Google and I've had to uninstall all updates for them, settling for the basic versions which came with the phone and cannot be uninstalled. (In the two cases listed these versions are far leaner and better anyway).

Unfortunately Google is working against me in my crusade to continue using my phone. A year or so ago they forcibly upgraded the simple Market app (which took up very little space) with the 10Mb "Google Play Store". I had sufficient space for this until they also forcibly installed "Google Play Services" which uses a further 6Mb. This now causes my phone to be unusable every morning (low disk space) when the update happens and every morning I uninstall it again before I go to work.

Does anyone know if it's possible to disable the updates for Google's own market place? The old Market app does still work very well once you've uninstalled Google Play but I can't find a way to make that permanent.


texts: GO SMS conversation grouping by number, not contact

texts:
I installed GO SMS pro today and it looks good, but there is one thing that is a deal breaker for me.

Some of the people I know use different numbers (grouped under one contact) to text me, however when I open GO SMS conversations aren't grouped by contact, but instead it looks like they are grouped by number (3 separate conversation threads for one contact).

Is there any way to group them by contact? This is how the default messaging app works (conversations grouped by contact, reply goes to last number used from the conversation).

Using Academia free app and downloading papers: where are these papers downloaded on the system? I don't see a specific setting for that in the app, at least not in the free version.

For now, what I do is open the PDF in the app and use the "share  file" option.

Thus, I can get the pdf file with the app to which it is shared (whatsapp, gmail, sms etc).
But I would prefer to know the download path  - if there is one.

Solutions already tried:

1) Rebooting both device and system multiple times.

2) Select/unselecting "USB Debugging" in developer options.

3) Connecting device as "Media Device(MTP)" and "Camera (PTP)"

4) Installing Kies and trying to access device from there. I get a perpetual "Connecting..." message.

5) Plugging/Unplugging device from Mac. I get the message "Try reconnecting or restarting your device."

The device is definitely getting detected by the system as its shown in DDMS. But what could be the possible cause of not letting me access the storage?

P.S.: Device works fine in Windows, both storage duly pops up in the "Computer" section.


texts: Internal memory (sdcard0) not writable - Android 4.3 - Xperia T (LT30p)

texts:
After a bootloop that I experienced after messing around with Android, I flashed a stock ROM to my LT30p using FlashTool.

Everything went smoothly, except for the fact that I can't create files in the internal memory (/storage/sdcard0) with any file explorer. This includes trying to download files from browsers, they fail instantly. So I figured it's a read-only situation going on.

I also flashed another stock ROM, clearing all data, but the problem persisted.

The funny part is that the mount command gives me this:

rootfs / rootfs rw,relatime 0 0
tmpfs /dev tmpfs rw,seclabel,nosuid,relatime,mode=755 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,seclabel,relatime,mode=600 0 0

so, from this

/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/SDCard /mnt/int_storage ext4 rw,seclabel,
    nosuid,nodev,relatime,discard,noauto_da_alloc,data=ordered 0 0

I conclude that I should be able to create files/folders as normal (since it says rw).

What am I missing? I googled this in many ways but to no avail.

Thank you for any help in advance!

texts: Why don't the percentages on the battery chart add up to anywhere near 100%?

texts:
I'm trying to figure out what's using my battery life by looking at the battery page in Settings. (I don't know if this screen is Cyanogen specific, or a stock Android feature.) Here's a recent screenshot of that page:

Transcript:

  Current battery level: 67%

  Use since last full charge:

  Android System: 3%
  Screen: 2%
  Cell Standby: 2%
  Ironclad Tactics: 2%
  Google App: 1%
  Android OS: 1%
  Google Play Services: 1%

(It may not be clear from the screenshot, but that's the end of the list: there's nothing off-screen.) I don't know whether those percentages are supposed to add up to 100% (logical) or to 33% (the amount of battery used so far), but either way, they actually add up to 12%. No amount of rounding error can explain that. At best, 2/3 of my battery usage is totally unaccounted for.

This is a common occurrence. I have another screenshot where my battery level is 18%, but the sum of all the used apps is only 44%.

What could be using up so much battery that wouldn't show on this list? Or alternately, could some battery usage pattern could cause this screen to grossly underestimate usage of a particular app? Or could a faulty battery, that drains more quickly than it should for a given load, cause this?

I received a message from a new phone number about some advertising information.

In the menu there is an option to block that contact. However, I feel that blocking a contact is personal choice of an user of whatsapp. And blocking the contact is different from reporting the contact as a spammer right? Or Does the "Block" and "Report Spam" option does the same job?

I haven't added that contact in my phone yet. But I want to report that number as spam to whatsapp. Now that Report Spam option is gone, Is there any method to report a contact as spam even after replying to that contact?

texts: What's missing to run Next Radio, and how can I get/install it?

texts:
I've got a Samsung Galaxy S4 (Verizon), currently running Lollipop as provided by the carrier -- not rooted.  Verizon has apparently recently begun to allow NextRadio to run on some of their phones, including the S7 and S7 Edge, but the app (which plays FM radio off the air) still reports something about required software missing when I try to install it.  I presume, at this point, that this is a missing driver or similar that would normally be supplied in an update from the provider, but of course Verizon is barely updating security on Lollipop and S4 platforms at this time.

Is there any way to get the required driver on my phone so I can use NextRadio or some other FM radio app?  Ideally without rooting the phone, but if rooting and updating to a newer Android version is required, a recommendation on rooting app or method would be appreciated as well.  If it matters, I run Kubuntu 14.04 on my computer, though I also have Kubuntu 16.04 installed; there's not a single Windows machine in my house.

I was given an Archos Diamond S phone to repair. The phone can't boot after an OTA update, it's stuck on the booting screen (no boot loop).

When it's stuck on the boot logo I can access the files however this is really slow and make explorer.exe crash everytime I want to perform an ation. Furthermore I want to access the root of sdcard so I can backup some apps data.

The only think I can do is boot in factory or in recovery mode. However in recovery mode I can only use adb in sideload mode and can't pull anything. I could try to force the OTA update via adb but I can't find the firmware for this model.

I then wanted to install a custom recovery that would enable android debug mode (like TWRP) and pull files with adb but I didn't find any for this model.

Do you know any way I could access the phone storage and create a backup of thoses files before wipe data/factory reset ?

Thanks

texts: Log out from Google account on Android 6.0.1

texts:
How can I log out from my Google account on Android 6.0.1 in my Galaxy A5?

I tried the following:

Settings -> Accounts -> No such option anywhere...
Settings -> Cloud and Accounts -> Accounts -> Google -> [three dots top right] -> Remove account -> [some warning] -> Remove account (to confirm) -> [hint saying "Account is needed by some apps. You can only remove it by resetting to factory defaults..."] -> [back to square one]

Which defeats the point because then I'd need to re-install my apps, for which I'd need to re-login.

I'm happy to take unusual routes, i.e., brute force log out by deleting files, tokens or even the entire Android tree in the file system etc. if that's an option.

Fun fact: I managed to log out (I'm pretty sure it was via the second option from above) last time I logged in, which was about 2 months ago. Has something changed recently? Did Google become even more adamant in pressing down its surveill^Wservices down its users throats?

In addition, when I check for software updates through settings it tells me my phone is up to date
Has the update applied, or only in part (in addition to the Android OS update it fixed the StageFright vulnerability), or not at all and the system version number is wrongly updated?

Edit: after a while on Motorola's waiting list, I received a message saying:

  We would like to confirm that your phone now supports the latest software version available for it

However checking for software updates still returns the "your devices software is up-to-date" message

Thanks in advance

texts: Unable to backup/export/access an SMS conversation on Android

texts:
I am attempting to use "SMS Backup and Restore" to backup 2 particular SMS conversation threads from my phone. The SMS app I use is Textra. My problem is when I go to select the conversations (or export ALL conversations), it seems to NOT include the conversations I'm after in the list. In fact it appears to show every conversation (in descending datetime order, UNTIL this conversation, and then no more before that)

I don't know why this is the case. It almost appears like there's an issue with that conversation, and when it gets to that thread, it can't get beyond that. I understand that Texta supposedly inserts a copy of SMS's into the android's main SMS database. I'm not sure if the issue is with the backup program, or the data in the internal SMS database, or something Textra has done.

Two possibilities came to mind:

These 2 conversations are VERY large in size, thousands of messages, and a number of MMS/images/etc. Could this be the reason they're not available for exporting? Perhaps too large in size or something?

I switched to use an SD card at a certain point. Is it possible SMS Backup and Restore is only looking at SMS records that have been inserted into the SD card database and not the internal storage? (assuming that's how it works?) if that's the case is there a way I can have it look at internal? Is there a way to test this?

Note this is actually a very critical issue, involving a fragile, legal situation. I need to export/access these SMS's so I can access/format/print them out etc.

I have in the past been able to do this with SMS Backup and Restore without any problem.

I basically want to know how I can access and export these conversation threads. Does anyone have any suggestions? Would be extremely grateful and appreciative for any advice.

If there's another way to access the SMS data and get it onto my computer (raw data??) I would be willing to explore that if there's no other options.

I'm using Sony Xperia z3, with Android 4.4.4.

I am receiving more than 100 notification alerts for cell broadcast on my Lenovo A7000 with Android Lollipop. I did not found any settings for cell broadcast.

Can anyone please help me in disabling this to stop these alerts?


texts: How do I identify apps or settings that cause performance problems?

texts: If I am having performance problems, what tools can I use to identify where my performance lags are coming from?  I have used a System Panel Task Manager, Android System Info, System Manager Free and some others but none of them have really identified the problem children.  System Panel Task Manager came the closest with it's historical look at CPU and memory usage but it didn't let me look at which apps were using how much resources over time.

texts: How to browse Android mounts like /system on a PC?

texts:
I know that AndroidCommander works but its site is offline so I can only download version for windoze.

I ALSO want to do this if possible the other way round too (access PC files in Android not only Android files from PC)

How else can I do this?


texts: Increasing my phone's charging rate while tethered

texts:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 and a laptop with 2 USB 3 ports.  When tethered to my laptop (to provide Internet access via GSM/HSPA data), the phone charges very slowly, especially if I am using it for anything else in addition to data tethering.  While connected to a USB 3 port using the OEM cable, it took about 5 hours to charge while tethered but not otherwise being used.  Given the 2100 mAh battery, this works out to a bit under 500mA¹.  It has a micro-USB 2 port as its sole means of power input.

The S3's USB-to-AC Adaptor indicates that it provides 5.0 V at 1.0 A.

The Battery HD app, when running on my phone, tells me that an S3 will charge just under twice as fast via AC power as via USB.

I haven't found any apps which indicate, or any other way to determine, the phone's current draw from the power supply.

If I'm reading wikipedia correctly:

Maximum current draw for a normal USB 2 port is 500mA.
Maximum current draw for a normal USB 3 port is 900mA.
Dedicated Charging Ports (which I gather is what the Samsung USB-to-AC adaptor has) can provide over 500mA but do not support data transfer.  I didn't see any indication in the article of a maximum current.
Charging Downstream Ports can also provide over 500mA along with high-speed data transfer.  It sounds like the maximum current was originally 900mA in the 2007 spec but was upped to 1500mA when version 1.2 was published in 2010.

¹: Wikipedia gives battery specs for the S3 as "2,100 mAh, 7.98 Wh, 3.8 V". The rate of charge of the battery over 5 hours works out to 420mA at 3.8V.  At USB voltage of 5V, this is only 320mA.  I'm not sure what the efficiency ratio for charging a Li-Ion battery is—80% perhaps?

How can I increase my phone's charging rate when connected to my computer?  Is it possible for a USB 2 device to draw 900mA from a USB 3 port?  Is it possible (and safe) to connect my phone to two ports at once to increase the total current?

texts: Why am I finding what looks like phone numbers in my metered connections settings?

texts: I find these 10-digit numbers in my metered wifi connections panel. The second number I ran a google search on and was informed that the area code does not exist. I dont know if these are phone numbers. The same search also showed that this impossible number was tagged as harmful as well as scammer calls. Can you guys tell me if these "networks" are somthing to be concerned about or normal. After many searches worded many different ways I could not find any information about ten digit numbers in the metered wifi connections setting panel. They do not show up under saved networks so Im stumped here. Thanks for your time.


texts: Offline Italian translate - error message "no connection for speech input (E4)"

texts:
I've downloaded the italian translate package for android, the voice recognition does not work offline.
i get the error message "no connection for speech input (E4)"

the following work-around does not work
Open Google Translate > Settings > Speech Input Italian would be set to Default Dialect. Just set it to Italian (Italy)

there is no option for italian dialect in the menu.
