I think the dimensions are the same, other than the camera shape. However if anyone can confirm for me that would be much appreciated.


texts: Why does it seem like I have less RAM than advertised?

texts:
Why is that on my Galaxy Note 3 (3gb RAM) I only have .91 GB free, 1.5 GB used while doing nothing, meaning only 2.41 GB total. Is that because the rest (~.6 GB) of my memory is used for the OS? And the reason I only have .91 GB free when doing nothing isn't because 1.5 GB is cached because I cleared my cache and the number did not change.

Why does it seem like ~0.6 GB of RAM is missing?


texts:
I use the Kindle app for Android. I had 'bought' one of the classic titles which they have - War and Peace, which, like many of the classics, had no cover image.

They have since updated the title on the Kindle store with a picture for the cover. I would like to update the title on my device so that it shows the cover art. How can I do this?

I tried "deleting" the title (it then goes to "archived items") and then redownloading it but this did not work. I also checked in Quick App Clean Cache to see if there was a cache I could clean, but Kindle is not listed. I also tried doing a 'sync' from within Kindle. None of these steps has helped.

My device is a Samsung Galaxy S Captivate, running Eclair yet (I think I'm getting my Froyo sometime this month).

If possible, I would certainly prefer to do this in such a way as to not lose my positions in the books I'm reading.


texts: Does Froyo include full Hebrew support for all devices?

texts:
I was under the impression that Froyo includes full built-in Hebrew support for all models.

I'm looking into buying a Samsung Galaxy S, and I called up a store about it. At the store they said that if I wanted it with Hebrew support, I would have to add about $75, since Froyo includes Hebrew only for some HTC devices.

Is this true or are they trying to fleece me?


texts: Reduce video call quality in messaging apps while using Data Connection

texts:
I see that most of the messaging apps that support video call, set the video quality automatically. Whatsapp, imo, skype are the most famous examples.

That is bad actually... I have high speed data connection. So the apps increase video quality to the best level. What is the result? Some hundred mega bytes data transfer durin some 10 minutes and that means more money to pay. I don't want that. I prefer medium quality.

What is the solution then? Any tweak for the apps? Any other alternative messaging app?


texts: Apps randomly crashing on my ZTE Blade 3. How can I fix this?

texts:
Applications on my Zte Blade 3 (ICS) crash frequently. They just close without an error message. How can I know if it it's a bug in the app, or a bug in the Android or a flawed device?

Edit: Apps that are crashing most frequently are ones which I use the most: Friendly fire game and stock web browser. Per suggestion from comment I've tried clearing data/cache but it did not make a difference.


texts: Android: An app failed to download/install - what do I do?

texts:
Sometimes I download an app but it fails to download or install. The message just says that, no further details. It generally seems that the app never installs after that. Is there anyway I can find out more details about why it failed? Is there any good way to get stuff to install after this has happened.

I am using Android 1.5 on a T-Mobile Pulse/Huawei U8220


texts: Sudden loss of contacts on my Samsung Galaxy S - running Gingerbread

texts:
I have recently experienced that all my phone contacts suddenly disappeared from my internal phone memory.

I could still see the 2 contacts that were on my SIM-card, and I have no contacts on my external SD-card.

I have looked through the different contact display options under settings, and they were all on.

The contacts disappeared without me installing or deleting anything, or any other provocation. And while I was browsing through my call log, I could see the contact names being replaced by the underlying phone no, like a slow delete, very frustrating.

I tried to Google it, and found that this has happened to many other Android users (and not just Samsung phones), but I couldn't find a suitable solution to the problem anywhere.

It's not catastrophic since I have all my contacts synchronized with Outlook, although, I will be losing the contacts added after my last sync.

But I would really like to avoid to have this happen again in the future, and if possible recover my lost contacts.

Does anyone have an idea of what has happened, what to do about it and how to avoid it in the future...?

texts: Blackview BV6000 rooting problem / spyware removal / SP Flash Tool freeze

texts:
This is my first time here, so please be patient ;)

Recently I bought two smartphones, Blackview BV6000 for me and my lady. As I did some research I noticed that some Chinese brands have pre-installed spyware in Android build. Few days ago my girls' phone started to engage wifi, bluetooth, data transfer, precise location search and more on t's own. Quick scan with ADB through Command Line (CMD) on my Windows 10 x64 and I found these bastards:

1) com.adups.fota

2) com.adups.fota.sysoper

And I only scrached the surface. I wanted to root our phones so I could get rid of them, cause these apps are in .system directory and I have no access to them.

Here comes the hard part:
First I tried Kingroot. It failed. Then dr.phone, it failed too. Then I tried this solution:

https://dreamworks75.blogspot.co.uk/2017/06/blackview-bv6000-smartphone-mt67xx-twrp.html

But no luck either. Every time I try to flash TWRP, so I can root from SuperSU it won't start after plugging the USB cable. So, in summary:

Yes, I did read a lot stack exchange posts, YT tutorials and internet guides before I wrote my down here :D
Android version 7.0 Nugat, Windows 10 64-bit (PC), USB cable provided with Blackview set, SP Flash Tool 5.1624 and 5.1720
I am sticking to the steps in guide from link
Phone is turned off
Phone is not plugged to PC before clicking "Download" icon in SP Flash Tool
I accessed developer options on phone with enabled USB debbuging and OEM unlocking
I'm using ROM, recovery image and scatter file provided from needrom.com (this one exactly: https://www.needrom.com/download/blackview-bv6000-4/) and I tried few more from various sources
I have drivers installed on PC (checked with USBDeview), MT67xx included
I tried SP Flash Tool both with and without "authentication file" field
After clicking "Download" button in SP Flash and plugging phone via USB nothing happens

If you have any advice, hint or other means to get rid of this unwanted apps I would be grateful. I spent already two days trying to figure it out.

texts: AVD camera configurations and key mappings

texts:
AVD: Android Virtual Device
Currently available AVD camera configurations are...
Front Camera:
None - no camera installed for AVD
Emulated - use a simpulated camera
Device - use host computer webcam or built-in camera
Back Camera:
None - no camera installed for AVD
VirtualScene - use a virtual camera in simulated environment
Emulated - use a simulated camera
Device - use host computer webcam or built-in
I want an option... say...
HostSystemScreen - capture your host system's screen
Which simply means that the AVD camera can act as my desktop screen-recorder. For an app that scans a QR code from the web-browser for some verification. installed in AVD, its will be super helpful if its camera opens to view my desktop.
How can I do it?

System Info
OS: Elementary OS 5.0 Juno
Kernel: 5.1.0-generic
CPU: i5-2410M
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT 525M
RAM: 12GB
AVD:
API: 28 Pie

Couldn't find the tag android-studio
Edit
I've got an idea to link up AVD to any native screen-recorder, but I really need help on it.

I'm not perfect in playing with picture editors

One more thing...
Can I map the HOME & END button of my physical keyboard as start and end of the line being typed in the AVD?

Currently the HOME key navigates to the home screen, and the END key does nothing particular.

texts: Finding reason why app stopped in background?

texts:
Some apps such as system statistics loggers or third-party voice recorder apps (used due to additional functionality and formats) may stop in background without the user noticing it.

The user notices it when trying to read the saved data, play the audio file, or open the app, just to see that the data logging or recording has stopped at some point, which diminishes trust into the app.

How do I know the reasons for why the app quit in background, while the phone was not being touched, just placed somewhere?


texts: Way to prevent the noise when 2 phones together

texts:
In using an app, for example Wechat, to have video chats.

Two Android phones A and B are sitting in the same room. The two users of A and B stated video chat with mobile phones C and D in another city, when two users of C and D are also sitting in the same room.

That is, phone A is calling phone C; phone B is calling phone D.

When the video chats started, because phones A and B,  C and D are close to each other, sharp noises started to appear.

What's the way to prevent this noises in the video chats?

Thank you.

texts: Phone Reboots on Installing/Launching Certain Apps

texts:
So i'm having this really baffling issue. I was using CM13 before and now using CM12 and both of them are facing the same issue.

I am using Galaxy Mega i9152.

There are certain applications, that have been causing my phone to reboot upon install or launch. Previously, it was Yahoo Mail (which i have not used since), then it was some other games (names of which i don't remember) and now it is WhatsApp messenger.

I thought the problem was with the CM13 rom, so i did a clean flash ( wiped data, cache, basically everything other than internal/external storage) of CM12 (hoping to get the 'move to SD card' feature as a bonus).

But, it did not resolve the issue. I just tried to install WhatsApp on my new ROM and it restarted as soon as WhatsApp finished Installing.

This has me thinking that the issue is not with Apps, but something to do with a deeper level. I'm not an expert in Kernels or such.

So please, can someone help me out here? Any insight i can get into the issue ?

WhatsApp is really important for managing day-to-day affairs, so please help me out.

There have been questions about the old sdcard turning into sdcard0, which I understand to be part of the multiuser feature.

What I don't understand is the 3 paths in the questions. Some of them look like symlinks to me, since files copied to one place show up in another.

Could anyone systematically explain the relationship between those 3 (and any other storage path)? Given that relationship, where should I store my files (e.g. Firefox's Download location, Aldiko's ebook storage directory, etc.)?

texts: Password not working / changes after update from COS 12.1 to Cyanogen OS 13

texts: I've encrypted my OnePlus One a long time ago. Now I want to perform the update with the new released Cyanogen OS 13. The problem is that the phone don't want to validate the password from the previous version. The pin or pattern works perfectly in TWRP (v2.8.x). By booting with COS 13 it isn't working anymore. After a flashing the old COS version the password or pattern is working fine. I've changed the pin several times and also tried to use the lock pattern but there is no difference. Has someone a clue how to fix this problem. I don't want to set up the whole OS again. Thanks!

texts:
I have a HTC Legend with Android 2.2. My contacts usually have first name and last name filled in. The ordering and display consists of <first name> <last name>. Since I know most of my clients by last name primarily, that doesn't really help.

I know of the combobox when editing a contact name where I can switch that. However, the last time I received an update of Android that was changed back to <first name> <last name> for all contacts. Obviously I want to avoid that.

Is there a way to change the display and hopefully the sorting order to <last name> <first name> that survives updates and whatnot?


texts: Huawei Ascend P7 locks out after months of usage

texts:
I have been using my Huawei Ascend P7 for months. It was acquired unlocked, I've been using the same SIM card from a prepaid carrier since the very beginning.

Today, without any action taken on my side, no application installed, OS not upgraded recently, the phone locked.

The device prompts me to enter a code, with the following message:

  Please unlock your phone first

I've been looking it up online and stumbled upon some websites that offer release codes for money (or other dubious favors), but it just doesn't make any sense:

The device was never rooted
I haven't upgraded my OS lately
It's not about a SIM card lock
I talked to my carrier, they haven't been able to help
The phone worked for months, unlocked, exactly the way it was purchased from an authorized Huawei seller in Germany

Does anybody have any idea what could cause this? What could possibly lock an originally unlocked device without any action by the user?

I should note that I don't wish to root my P7.


texts:
I am having internal memory grab, typically eating about 3gb.  Similar to this problem on a tablet Something is secretly eating up my Acer Iconia A500 internal memory and I need help finding it

However my device is a Moto X second gen.  I though it might be device specific, because after a factory reset and then a reload, I find the memory grabbed sometime later, usually 3 to 5 gb.

Then I saw the same thing happen for 1gb on a Samsung tablet with some of the apps I have on the Moto X.  So I am currently thinking that this is application specific.  However, without a rooted device I find few tools or methods which appear to be able to help me.  Hence my appeal here.

Any suggestions as to how to get to the bottom and resolve this?  Loading apps one at a time could take months, until they are all loaded and the problem pops up again.

I may have to root the device, and then I will look in /data for growing subdirectories.

Addendum 1.  I used another utility, DiskUsage, and saw that there was 5gb in system storage allocated.  It appears that this could be something such as logs or some other cumulative data managed by the system.  So it appears that I will likely have to root the device to dig deeper.

And provide me suggestion if it is possible (1. detect available wifi printer 2. connect to one 3.give command to print)

I found similar app PrintBot, PrinterShare , iCanPrint, but unable to guess "How they accomplish this?" I found some are using Google Cloud Print!

Something similar to Apple AirPrint

I was watching videos on m.youtube.com and got this System UI error. Video kept playing, until I pressed ok and everything crashed and 5 seconds later i see the lock screen. I unlock with my fingerprint and anytime I put play it does the same. I tryed other videos and the same thing happens, restart fixed for 5 mintues then I re got the glitch and any other html5 video doesn't work anymore. Also sometimes the home, back and recent apps button and the top bars disappear after this glitch before the screen going black etc. Youtube app works fine though...

P.S. This happened on a Wiko UFEEL Prime running the latest update (6.0.1 [21]) I don't think it can be the hardware because I have 4GB of RAM and a 1.3GhZ octa-core processor.

texts: Is there "select all" functionality in the GMail app?

texts:
I've previously used the default Email app on my CyanogenMod 7 EVO because I had an Exchange account at work. However, I switched jobs recently and my new place just uses GMail corporate accounts (which I enjoy). Since I don't have the Exchange account anymore, I'd like to move over to the GMail app because I prefer the UI and whatnot, but I can't for the life of me find any kind of "Select All" functionality in it.

The Email app allows me to do this from the options menu (Menu->Select All selects everything in the current folder). In GMail I noticed that if I select one or more items, then "Deselect All" becomes available in the options menu, but not "Select All". I've also tried various forms of long-pressing on messages, accounts, and folders to no avail.

Is there any way to do this in the GMail app, or am I just stuck without it? I searched the issue tracker and didn't find anything relevant, which surprised me a bit, to be honest. Obviously I can do this from a computer if I need to empty a folder/label, but I'd kind of like to retain the functionality on my phone, too. Am I missing some non-obvious (or perhaps even obvious) menu item somewhere?

texts: Samsung - Change password / log-in method with NFC

texts:
I had some NFC tags with my Xperia Sola. It could change settings if I touched the tags with the phone, and it was pretty useful.
Can one use this "technology" with modern Samsung phones?

Both removing/setting the password (with two tags), or just unlocking the screen (one tag) would be awesome.
The first would be better, of course. As I could just get home, touch the tag, and then I can use my phone real easy. When I head out or just leave the house, I can touch the password tag and get it locked like I use it on the street.
Changing the password/lock settings by hand each time is a real hassle.

I have done "clear cache partition" in recovery mode but still the issue is same.
I googled this problem but there was not any matter of this kind.
Have you people any suggestion for this?


texts: Where did my purchased Apps go when I upgraded my Phone?

texts:
I have read through many questions here and totally understand that when you upgrade your phone your purchased apps should be accessible for reinstalling at https://play.google.com/store.

I upgraded my phone yesterday from a Galaxy SII to a Galaxy S3 and I was given a guarantee in the shop that all the apps I purchased would be available when I log into to GooglePlay.  The fact that they are not there is the reason for this question.  I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1 and was using the same Google Play account to manage my apps.

Im guessing that because my Android platform v4+ and my old phone was v2.2 that some of my apps may not be compatible but I wasnt expecting not to be able to see them (after all they are apps I purchased).  Any help would be much appreciated, because the apps for my Galaxy Tab are not available either.  My login details for Google has been the same through out.

texts: Nexus 6P - cannot turn off Developer Options

texts:
On any other device, I was able to go to Settings, scroll to Developers Options and toggle it On/Off. On Nexus 6P, this toggle does nothing. If I turn it off, next time I look at it, it shows as on even though I turned it off minute ago.

I am building Android app so I do need Developer Options.  I dont want to disable or hide it, I just want to be able to use the toggle to turn it on or off as I need.  Just as I did with many other android devices.

Anyone else noticed this?

I tried suggestions from this link http://visihow.com/Disable_the_Developer_Options_on_Nexus_6P but that did not resolve anything.

I would also like to note that until very recently, perhaps 3 months ago, I was able to disable Developer Options by simply going to Settings->Developer Options -> Turn toggle Off


texts: Mount image of encrypted internal storage data partition from android P

texts: (Samsung) Possibility to check bootloader status using PC

texts:
Is it possible to check bootloader status using adb of a samsung device back from 2014 or older?
(s5 and below) there's no fastboot, and no "OEM Unlock" in developer options
and since i need to get the info using pc

Do I need to program an android application to go with my desktop one to detect bootloader status?
If so, is it even possible to get bootloader status using an app?

Context:
I'm creating a desktop program which needs to determine bootloader status to do certain tasks. I have searched for ways to do it, i found 3 only, none work in my case

Using dialer to find it, I get no output at all..

Using fastboot, There's no fastboot, only download mode

Using an adb command, it helped but it did not output the bootloader status


texts: How to paste a text on non-pasteable (tap & hold pasting) text field?

texts:
My problem is that I have no way to paste a text in an app because the app doesn't allow tap & hold pasting. The keyboard I use (Google Keyboard) also does not have a clipboard button anywhere. The personal dictionary shortcut entry length is too short for what I'm trying to do and even if it were long enough, it doesn't work (doesn't even replace a simple "brb" with "be right back").

Can anyone suggest a way for me to keep using my Google Keyboard while being able to paste in a text field that doesn't allow for tap & hold pasting?
Is there a way to somehow add a clipboard button to my current (Google Keyboard) keyboard?

I ask these two questions as if there are simple answers to them because every single tool for a rooted phone boasts unlimited access to the user over your device, yet not a single tool that I've used has been able to provide me with a simple workaround to this simple issue of being able to paste in a text field that doesn't allow tap & hold paste.

I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy S4 on a CM11 ROM running Android 4.4.4 KitKat. I also badly want to keep my Google Keyboard, so if possible, I don't want to download another keyboard.

texts: Wifi keeps dropping and switching to same SSID but different channel.

texts:
My Wifi keeps dropping when I tried to connect at places where there are multiple connections with the same SSID but having different channels. What it happens is that it will first connect to the SSID, then after 1 second it will disconnect and connect to the same SSID but from another channel. I observe that it does so even if the new connection has a weaker strength then the previous. This will not happen at home where there is only 1 router. Is there any way whereby I can force android to connect and stay without dropping?

My android is 6.0.1, my phone is Samsung A3(2016).

Thank you.


texts: Take a voice note without unlocking the device

texts:
Sometimes, I want to take a voice note quickly. My ideal approach will look something like this:

Take the phone
Push a button
Speak a sentence (without unlocking the device)
Done

Later, I want to see a list of open voice notes (not handled yet) and reply them. No speech-to-text magic is needed. The primary focus is on speed.

Background: If I am talking to someone and want to take a note, I don't want to disturb the conversation since taking the phone, unlocking it, opening a note app, and finally typing it takes too long.

Best solution would be this: Start recording without looking at the phone. Like a dictaphone.

Anyway to get this thing get done?


texts: Does Accelerometer Sensor work on my Samsung Galaxy S2?

texts:
I have Samsung Galaxy S2 and i'm experiencing with an issue that is annoying me very much.

When I do \auto rotate\ , the rotation happens after 4-5 seconds.

I've done the calibrations and all that stuff that you will find on google or forums.

After i checked secret code *#0*# , i noticed that: at Accelerometer Sensor I get:

  ACC Raw Data - X: changing numbers, y: changing numbers, z: 1024

( z is not changing like X and Y)

After this test i noticed  that somthing is wrong with this phone, and i doubt that the problem is with the sensor.

The strange thing is that sometimes my phone and accelerometer WORKS JUST FINE, but most of times it doesn't work at all!

So, does my phone have problem with sensor or something wrong with the software?

Here you can see in the graphic Accelerometer values

At one point screen just become bit higher. Buttons gone, and it's not that funny, as it can seem. Phone become literally single-task and I had to reboot just to switch application. Found some software emulator that helps me to survive at the moment, but question is how to get buttons back? No, reboot obviously didn't help, I also flashed new version of CM just in case (was CM 10.1.3 stable, upgraded to 10.2 M1). Same shit.

Thought about may be I'm darn stupid, and somewhere there is just single option in setting. Either there is no it, or it's name really differs from what I expected (or I'm really darn stupid).

Any clues, guys? Next obvious step is factory reset, but I'm not mentally ready yet.

texts: Samsung S7 Downloaded Photos are Corrupt on PC but view OK from Android Gallery. Issue started after Android internal storage got all full

texts:
So I usually take videos and photos and then get a message from Camera app that I can't use the app anymore since phone memory/ram is full. I usually connect to PC and download and delete from phone and am back and running fine. This last time when it was full I noticed it was going to take forever transferring.

I checked PHONE DCIM Camera folder and noticed some 8GB jpeg images! Wow strange, and I'm thinking they were created while I was "shooting video" and the phone may have been low on space already and I was hitting that PHOTO button during video shooting to get some photos also during the video shooting.

Interestingly in Windows folder preview I could even see a small "preview" of the actual JPEG image even though it was 8GB in size supposedly, but I could not "open it", may have complained of ram or some other issue can't remember.

I also noticed there were some files that had corrupted file names like:
2018Ȱ620_160140, basically after the 2018 somekind of strange mark above O.

The ISSUE/complaint is, well I can't really remember for "sure" if even the 8GB file photos displayed perfectly fine on my Android Samsung S7 Edge phone, but all the others at least I know for sure looked all great on the phone but were CORRUPT if I tried to view them on my computer. It didn't matter if I viewed the version I copied to my computer, OR if I viewed on PC directly from phone.

The phone is not using any SDCARD only the built-in ram/memory it came with etc.

Why are my Photos all being CORRUPTED when I transfer/copy them to my computer?

texts: Fastboot Xiaomi system partition problem

texts:
I am trying to upgrade Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite to Android Pie via fastboot ROM images. It was on Oreo, initially. Had TWRP

installed in boot.img because it is an A/B slots device. TWRP is officially supported.
Had made a full TWRP backup, also system_image and vendor_image, which are exact copies of the whole system. Then

tried official Xiaomi fastboot Pie images, and system.img doesn't flash. Other smaller in size system images I flashed to see

what would happen do go through, but they don't work. Pie image is 2.1 GB. Other partitions are all flashed.
Each attempt via Xiaomi flash tool ends with: Chunk data size exceeds partition size.

So, what gives? Any ideas greatly appreciated. Oh, TWRP boots, but can't use touchscreen at all, no response

whatsoever, can't restore my perfect Oreo backup, and wanted to go to Pie and cutom ROMs anyway.
If anybody can shed some light, I will be grateful.

Also tried flashing different boot images from Pie and Oreo and different TWRP versions than the latest, nothing works.

I tried to root my new Samsung Galaxy S II today using the instructions in the CF-Root thread and in the videos provided by this guy on YouTube.

I was nearly across the finish line, but when I click the big "Root" button on SuperOneClick, it freezes at "Running psneuter" and won't go any further or shut down (without Task Manager intervention).

I've tried leaving it for > 10 mins, turning off all antivirus and I've tried 2 different SuperOneClick versions (1.9.1 and 1.7) to no avail.

Because of this, I'm pretty sure my root isn't going through properly. Mainly because when I check if my phone is rooted properly I can't get su access in shell.

Any ideas/thoughts about what to do?

texts: Is it safe to delete all empty folders in Android?

texts:
Almost every Android "cleaning" app (such as SD Maid) includes the ability to delete all empty folders.

In operating systems such as Windows, this is generally not a good idea.  Windows applications sometimes expect certain folders to be present; although they should handle a deleted folder gracefully, sometimes a deleted empty folder will result in a crash.

Given the number of Android cleaning apps that delete all empty folders, is the story different on Android?  Is it safe for the user to delete all empty folders in Android?

Update:

By "all empty folders", I refer to all empty folders inside /storage/emulated/0.  Note that this does include /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/*.
The folder /storage/emulated/0, and its subfolders, can be located on the internal memory of an Android device or on an external  memory Card.
If you can also provide an answer for all folders beginning at the root, that would be very useful, but is not required.

(Please, do not diverge answers into a "why would someone want to do that" discussion.)

Tried various notification settings, battery percentage show/hide setting, etc. didn't help.
Tried restarting the phone, it did not help.

texts:
I would like my phone to execute certain shell scripts via Tasker if my phone is on the same wifi network as my laptop. My initial idea is to edit the /etc/hosts file, but this wouldn't work since neither device is constrained to be on only one wifi network.

A much more costly idea would be to just ping every possible address on the network from my phone, then attempt to send a command via ssh (say, echo $ANDROID) and listen for the response.

The best way to do this is to just be able to see if a device named "myLaptop" exists on the network.. (or, actually, I could use MAC address too.) but I have no idea if this is possible in bash. Is it?

(I'm also open to implementations in Perl, since I can use SL4A to implement Perl scripts.)

String[] command;

SHELL_CMD(String[] command) {

It has a setting for fetch images, which I have set, but I'm not really sure what it does. Images in HTML messages are still not fetched. At the moment the message is displayed the images are loaded. If there is no Internet connection at that time, there are no images.

Is there any Android email client that can be configured to fetch images when fetching the messages?

texts: What's with all the "unnecessary" data in Android 6?

texts:
So I just finished updating my phone from Android 6 to 7.

Before downloading the update, I had two point something GB of free internal storage space.

The update was one point something GB of size, and I expected to get about as much back after the update was concluded.

Except, I have now - even after updating all my apps - five point something GB of internal storage available ... and no, I don't think I'm missing any apps (nor personal files, since I'm in the habit of storing as much as possible [read: everything] on my external SD card).

I'm certainly not complaining, but I'm curious. What's the (most likely) data that's been deleted? Is it really possible that Android 7 is that much more efficient?


texts: my device got a ROM flash by the seller prior to my purchase?

texts:
I bought a Galaxy Tab S6 a few days ago and I am going to verify if it is really brand-new.
Some facts: The production date of this device is in July 2020 and my purchase date is in February 2021.
First of all, the system date and time is not up-to-date and even confusing. The system date (on the day of my purchase: February 19, 2021) was January 3, 2019 (that is, 7 mounths prior to August 2019 when this device model released by the manufacturer for the very first time).
Besides, the system time doesn't match the device region (UAE) local time and there is about 9 hours difference.
Finally, dates of files in Android folder are mostly January 1, 2019 (which indicates two days prior to my purchase and boot up) and other file dates are for two days later (January 3, 2019) corresponding to when I purchased and booted the device.
Therefore I'm going to conclude that the seller might had flashed ROM into this device a couple days before he sold it to me and this device is not brand-new.
What is your opinion?


texts: Allwinner A13 tablet stuck on boot screen

texts: Okay, here's the deal- I received a generic Chinese tablet from a friend in early January, and it worked well for about two-and-a-half months. Then, just recently, I discovered rooting and the wonderful things it allowed you to do, and my problem followed shortly after. I decided to download a system-tweak app, which included a CPU control. I was a little wary of overclocking my CPU, having heard it may decrease its life expectancy, but finally I thought "What the heck?" and in a brilliant stroke of genius cranked my 1Ghz processor up to 1.5Ghz, and it promptly froze, forcing me to power it down. When I turned it back on, I discovered that it had been factory reset. I re-installed my apps, including the system-tweak app, and decided not to touch the CPU controls for a while. Soon after, while at my sister's talent show, I discovered I had about 30% battery life, and I was still supposed to record her. So I figured I'd underclock it to save the battery. Unfortunately, as my finger touched the slider, my brother bumped my arm and caused me to lower the CPU frequency to its lowest setting. It became extremely sluggish, almost to the point of being unresponsive, and finally I had to shut it down. When I restarted it, it started to boot but then got stuck on the shimmering Android logo, and now that's all it does. I can't even boot into recovery mode, and unfortunately I had just turned off USB debugging that same day. I would like to know if there's any way to get it working again, and if so, how. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

texts: Function of back button after opening URL from (Twitter) application

texts:
When opening a URL in the official Android Twitter app it opens the native browser, showing the page for that URL. If I tap the back button in the browser (Galaxy S, 2.3.3, should it matter), one of two things happens:

The browser goes back in its history opening the previous page/url it had opened.
Android switches back to the Twitter app, back to the tweet with the URL I opened.

It eludes me what triggers either situation, it's seemingly random. I prefer option 2 when I'm reading my Twitter feed, can someone explain the logic behind this and perhaps even tell me how to make sure I trigger option 2 while reading my Twitter feed?


texts: Is it possible to/how do I change the CSC of an android phone

texts:
I apologize if I did not formulate the question correctly however I'm a 'noob' regarding Android versioning and Android ROM software etc. Here is some background regarding my question.

I bought a 'not simlocked' phone from a retailer here in the Netherlands. With the intention to buy a sim only subscription from a network carrier as this was 50 euro's cheaper. Note that the network operator is also Dutch.

On the website of the network operator it shows that the Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 supports Wifi calling at that provider. However I do not see WiFi calling in the options. I suspect this is because the CSC on my retail Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 is not the same as a Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 bought at Tele2. The Samsung helpdesk of my country says it should be possible if you insert a Tele2 simcard.

My question is, is it possible for me to change the CSC of my android phone to that of the CSC of Tele2/My network carrier as I would like to use WiFi calling. Inserting the Tele2 simcard does not change anything with the software.

texts: Microsoft apps always eating up space with data, for apparently no reason

texts:
Microsoft apps (Excel, PowerPoint, Word) use up space apparently for no reason.
At this point, I do not use them.
I am using a Samsung J7 with Android 6, with 16Gb internal storage and no SD card.

Since I often run out of space, I check which apps are using it. I always find Microsoft apps are taking up space for data, and this seems strange to me.

For instance, I go to Settings -> Applications -> Application Manager -> Word -> Storage,
and I see:

Total 256 MB
App 104 MB
Data 152 MB

Why would Word use 152 MB of Data, if I did not read/use any?

I hit CLEAR DATA not long ago, and I checked that the corresponding storage space was actually freed to 0 MB.
Now it is taking again 152 MB.

What are those data?

It is not that much space, but in my case it makes a difference.

Excel and PowerPoint behave similarly.

A stranger case seems to be OneNote, with

Total 3.89 MB
App 0 MB
Data 3.89 MB

EDIT: Now, two days after the initial post, Word takes up 16 kB. That is fine. I will check periodically to see when it increases Data size.

EDIT: A couple of months after the initial OP, without using any of the apps, Excel had 251Mb of Data.

texts:
To start off I am not really sure if this is hardware (headphones or the phone) or android specific issue/feature. Maybe there is an android workaround for the hardware feature hence this kind of fits here the best.

Google is full of similar topics, but all I've seen are related to windows and not really this kind of delay.

Up until recently I've been using wired headphones, but I started using bluetooth ones and I hit this weird delay when using an app like Duolingo.
When there is no sound for a few seconds playing there is a slight delay when the sound is actually played.
Let's say I do 5 exercises in a row and I do it very quick- no issue.
Then I come to a more complex one that I need more time to do, the sound that plays after submitting an answer is slightly delayed.

When listening to music there are no issues, which would point me to believe that the headset is actually going to some sort of sleep mode when there is no audio played from the source device.

Headphones are Marshall Major II wireless

texts: Can't Unlock Phone Because Don't know Work Profile Password

texts:
I can't unlock my Samsung S10e after enabling my company's work profile. I learned from here that this is because my work profile password has usurped my personal passcode for my unlock screen. Further complicating things is that I restarted my phone and everything is very locked down. Is there any way I can either remove the work profile or at least access the files on the phone before I do a factory reset?
I have tried called my company's tech support but they claim that what has happened cannot happen and when I ask them to reset the work profile password (which I never knew and none of my work passwords work), they say that they don't have that ability. They have claimed that they have revoked my phone's permissions to have a work profile, but the problem still persists. I have tried letting my phone die and then charging it back up to see if maybe it was some kind of caching issue. No dice.
Does anyone have any ideas? As long as I can recover the data on the phone I'm will to try jail breaking it or basically anything.
Edit: For clarity, this is my personal device and my company requires a work profile to use various apps with my company issued email address. That is why I enabled it when prompted.

I'm looking for a music player for Android that supports smart playlists and play count metadata like the iPod and iTunes.  Ideally I'd like something that:

Keeps track of statistics like last played, play count, last skipped, etc.
Allows rating of songs from Android.
Supports smart playlists that are live updating (for example, if I have a smart playlist to match all songs I haven't played in a month, and I play a song from it, the played song drops off the playlist without having to sync back with my PC since it no longer matches that criteria).
Is supported by a desktop PC media management application such that these statistics are synchronized back to the PC.  (I'm open to switching, so as long as it's supported by a stable, relatively featured desktop app, I don't care which).

I've tried the stock music player, which doesn't support any of these (to my knowledge), and doubleTwist, which supports ratings but doesn't support smart playlists or play counts yet.

backs up, however, most phones only keep a limited number of calls

logs.

This is the first of a series of questions about "the broken tablet saga". Basically I have an Acer A500 with broken touchscreen to get ready for warranty. I won't ask all of my questions in a single topic.

I want to make a full backup of my tablet without using the touchscreen. The tablet is rooted.

How do I - without using the touchscreen - make a NANDROID backup of it to be restored on the replacement device Acer will hopefully send to me? (Or just to restore the repaired tablet)

I currently don't have the device in my hands. I suppose it is equipped with the classic ClockworkMod recovery. As a backup plan, I would like to know what can I do to install ClockworkMod without touchscreen support.

I'll have the device in my hands in a few hours. I would like to be prepared for that (including downloading any additional software or firmware from an unlimited data connection)

[Update] I must install CWM without using Acer Recovery Installer. I can't find a link to a binary and instructions on how to flash a recovery (there are plenties of tutorials for download mode on Samsungs)

texts: Properly migrate to larger SD card on Android 6.0?

texts:
I've got a Samsung S5 (T-Mobile SM-G900T)that's rooted on Android 6.0.1 and I want to upgrade my 64GB card to a 128GB one.

There are a few reasons I don't think a simple copy and paste will work:

The SD card itself has a unique name now (6CAB-391A). Any new SD card I put in will have a different name.

I've used the built-in feature of moving apps to external storage in Android. I have quite a few apps that have been moved off of "Internal Storage" and into "UsbStorage" using Application Manager > [app name] > Storage.

My SD card has not been adopted as internal storage. It's still labeled as an "external SD card" and has not been encrypted. There is also no option to migrate.

I suspect that a simple copy and paste will break a LOT of links and my apps will no longer work.

So what's the proper procedure on Android Marshmallow to migrate to a larger card?

I'm unable to access files on an Moto G3 updated for Marshmallow 6.0 ("this folder is empty" when connected to a pc, tried on several computers). I tried several fixes and guides but nothing out there seems to work.

https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/6pbWH1yvPMs

Swiped down after connecting to pc, there are no notifications nor options to choose from.

SD card not showing files when connected to pc

Been there, did that. Rebooted, waited... once again, no files & no notification to change USB connection mode. I did the wipe cache partition part too and waited for some good 10 minutes after doing it before connecting USB

I wanted to try more options via USB debugging & such, but I cannot enable that either. I tap a bunch of times on top of the "build number" option in the menu and nothing at all happens: http://wccftech.com/enable-developer-options-in-android-6-marshmallow/
I went on to search how to root the device which seems to require USB debug mode which I could not enable on 3.

I'm not sure if I'm missing something obvious here but none of the answers/guides I tried so far seem to work. Anyone knows what's going on?


texts: Why does Samsung Kies say that my device does not support software upgrading via kies?

texts:
I bought a Galaxy Ace. It initially came with:

Gingerbread 2.3.3
Build is GINGERBREAD.XWPKY, for regions France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Turkey, UK
Unrooted

With that, let me add that I am from the Philippines. And I know that there's a 2.3.4 Asian ROM update (DXKPD) as per here:
http://www.pinoytechblog.com/archives/have-you-updated-your-samsung-galaxy-phones-to-gingerbread-yet

But Kies doesn't show any update. So I thought that Samsung has not released an update for that European region, and concluded that I might need to change it to my region. (Although my local carrier was able to send me GPRS settings while under this region).

So that's what I did. I used Odin on 2 attempts I did so far. I flashed it FIRST with a different region ROM (Germany, I think). SECOND time, I got it right. I now have 2.3.4 GINGERBREAD.DXKPD via Odin and using an OFFICIAL 2.3.4 Asian ROM from this page (MediaFire link):
http://rumah-android.com/new-stock-rom-android-2-3-4-s5830dxkpd-for-asia.html

Here's what troubles me.

Regardless if there's an update or not, Samsung Kies tells me that I couldn't update my firmware even if it's an official ROM.
I can't get GPRS settings now that the region's changed.

Finally, the questions:

Is it possible that my phone is locked to that European region? Is there such a thing?
Or did I use an unofficial ROM?
What should I do next from here?

I'm sorry this is too long. I'm confused and I just need clarifications. I hope I made myself clear. Thanks in advance.


texts: i'm not member anymore in groups after moving from the modified to official whatsapp

texts:
I installed whatsapp plus year ago or so. I entered several groups did some conversions. a month ago whenever I press or go to the app it showed me you can't use it anymore after the 1st of April and I have to revert back to the official, but i could get in yet after 1st of April I'm only stuck at that page.

i tried several thing none of which worked fully and here's what mostly worked

1-I had edited the date so it worked and did a backup and refused to restore it as normal
2-so, I got the whatsapp folder and uninstalled the whatsapp gold

3-took the files from the \abo3rabBackup\databases and put them in /data/data/com.whatsapp/databases
and key from \abo3rabBackup\files to /data/data/com.whatsapp/files
keystore.xml from \abo3rabBackup\shared_prefs to /data/data/com.whatsapp/shared_prefs
of the official whatsapp newly installed because they seemed from the system I assumed that because the msgstore.db was not encrypted

4-and whatsapp asked me to set it up once again and I could see all the messages of people and groups again as normal and make a back up although is shows I'm not a member of all these groups anymore

so my question here are there anything that i have to else transfer to make whatsapp recognize I'm in that groups

and thanks for any help and patience in advance


texts: I just recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Star S5280 which runs on Android OS, v4.1.2 (Jelly Bean) and it keeps indicating that my GPS is on. I already deactivated my mobile network on both SIM cards. I have also deactivated my location services. Can anybody tell me what to do about this because it drains my battery without me even using it a lot.


texts: Whenever I tap the empty space below the spacebar, while using Chrome, the keyboard closes unexpectedly

texts:
Ok, so this has to be the most annoying thing for me about Android phones. If you look at my screenshot, I've circled the empty space below the keyboard. I am ALWAYS accidentally tapping this empty space, and when I do this... it acts as if I had tapped the little downward arrow to the left of that empty space!!! I'll be typing in some search terms in Chrome, only to accidentally tap the empty space, and there goes everything I was typing. Poof. It's INCREDIBLY annoying, and I just might buy an iPhone if I have to continue to endure this. It is SO easy to accidentally hit that empty space.
It happens with both Gboard and the stock keyboard, and swiftkey. It seems as though this is an intentional feature.
Is there anyway to completely disable that little downward arrow?


texts:
I've just got my phone upgraded to Android 2.1. It's a HTC Hero running HTC Sense. One of the features I was really looking forward to in Android 2.1 was the microphone button on the keyboard which you can use to dictate into any text field.

However, this button doesn't seem to be there on the HTC Sense keyboard. Is there any way to enable this?

Is there any other way to download the android sdk platform other than using this URL

My ISP has blocked the URL's starting with https://dl.google.com/.


texts: Merge two Google play/apps accounts into one list

texts:
Is there a way to merge two Google play accounts into one or at least have two common lists?

I have two Google accounts I routinely use on Android. One for business and one personal. That said I wasn't always consistent in my usage. Now when I add a new android device, I need to pick through both accounts to load the android apps I consider essential.

I'd be open to a onetime merge, even if it involves exporting and reimporting.


texts: Meaning of lines in Charging History details view in 4.2.2 Jelly Bean

texts:
In 4.2.2 Jelly Bean when one goes to Settings -> Battery Use and tap the graph at the top can find the History details of the charging/discharging of the battery. There are some other historical data below the diagram:  - Mobile network signal was cleared  - Charging seems to be clear (green when charged, black when discharged)  - Screen on is also OK (blue when lit on, black otherwise)  - Wi-Fi may be similarly indicates the On/Off state of the function  - Awake is a mistery for me I can not see any correlation between the graph and the On/Off state of the phone  - Finally What does the GPS on line exactly indicate?
I have some GPS problem and try to report it. I need to know whether this line indicates the On/Off state of the GPS module or the positioned/lost position state. On my screen it is almost totally black however the module was switched on a day before. There are two or three momentary blue ticks. What do they indicate anyway?


texts: I can send links via WhatsApp but no other social media apps

texts:
I've tried to send songs from Spotify through Instagram, articles from Facebook through Messenger etc., but the apps just crash, or say 'Something went wrong'. Spotify says the song has been sent, but it hasn't. The only one that hasn't is WhatsApp.
I've tried clearing the cache and data, resetting my apps to default settings, and even uninstalling and reinstalling the apps but it's still happening. It's also affected the myMail and Microsoft Teams apps, but I think I've sorted them now by uninstalling and reinstalling. Has Samsung done an update I haven't seen? I'm on Android 11.
