If you disable auto-rotate (i.e., force portrait mode), a notification icon shows up. It looks like the vibrate notification, except without the vibration lines. Inside Settings -> Display -> System icons, I can disable other notification icons like the battery, battery %, wifi, etc., but not this one.

Is there any other way to disable this notification, or even other ones not present in System icons?

I'm on Android 7.0, Sony Xperia X Compact.


texts: where can a generic application write on an SD card?

texts:
I have a tablet running KitKat and face the problem of not being able to write to the SD card (specifically with QPython). I cannot root the tablet (yet).

My understanding is that an application can only write to a special directory which is created for the lifetime of the application in /extSdCard/Android/data.

Indeed, I can see there a bunch of directories, some of which have names which are the ones of my apps (it looks like a Java style way of naming, I do not know Java but I saw some spectacular stack dumps which had that nomenclature).

Now, I do not see anything close to QPython, which brings the questions:

do all applications create by default this special directory?
if yes: how can I match the name of the app to the directory?
if no: is there a way for such application to write to the SD card?

I used to use -  and loved - LBE Privacy Guard which allowed you to revoke specific permissions from specific apps.

Ever since AT&T finally pushed out Jelly Bean for the S3 though, it no longer works, and puts my phone into a endless reboot loop.

Searching in the market, I couldn't find any other app that does this (though the are plenty that just let you SEE the permissions of all your apps).

Anyone know of another app that does the same thing as LBE?

Everything worked fine after the update. However, my contacts and phone applications have stopped working. When I tried opening any of these apps I get "Unfortunately, contacts has stopped".

PS. I have never rooted / installed custom firmware.

texts: Cheap phone disabled flashing with mispelled error message

texts:
I have an 'Advanced A4 2019' phone from BLU, and it's known to have spyware. I wanted to flash the phone's recovery with TWRP to install a custom ROM, but I can't seem to enable flashing. It runs android 8.1 at the moment.

Commands I've tried in fastboot:

fastboot getvar all

all:
Finished. Total time: 0.000s

fastboot oem device-info

FAILED (remote: 'unknown cmd.')

fastboot flashing lock

FAILED (remote: 'Not implement.')

.

(This is the good one)

fastboot flashing unlock

FAILED (remote: 'Not implemet.')

That's not my typo, it says not implemet. Also, its worth mentioning that the screen that pops up in fastboot is different from the normal one. Has the binary just been patched and there's no way to put my own OS on it? Thanks in advance

So, I tried to do a clean wipe of my Galaxy SII I1900 variant and flash in Paranoid Android's latest build, and everything was successful, but I realised the clean wipe wasn't that "clean". It did not wipe out anything from my internal data, so my app data and photos etc were not wiped. I tried to wipe it again but it doesn't work somehow.

For some reason my brain thought formatting the sd card means formatting the internal memory (lack of sleep), and after formatting it, neither my phone nor my computer could detect the sd card anymore. I formatted it using the CWM I think (I held power button and chose reboot->recovery), there was no option to format it in any format, it just formatted right after I chose the option. I am not sure if I plugged it out safely but there wasn't any notifications about it being plugged into the computer.

I don't have a sd card reader and I don't think I have any spare sd cards lying around.. Any help for this poor soul here? :/


texts: Unlabled app entries appearing in battery history. Suspicious?

texts:
This morning I noticed weird untitled entries in my battery history, which I'd never seen before.  I'm also not sure why some rows were not showing the percentages. (When tapped on, the entry detail views show the percentages.) The entries have the same code/gear icon as the Android OS entry:

entries / detail / same icon as Android OS (click images for larger variant)

These aren't appearing in the last-hour view now, so it appears to be something that launched earlier, and then stopped. "Force stop" and "report" are grayed out in the detail views.

Is this suspicious? Is there some way of checking these further?

This is on a non-rooted HTC One M9 running Android 6.0

texts: Why does Android use fuse for internal SD card mount?

texts:
The android ICS or later version(JB) use /data/media directory for internal SD card, and use fuse for mounting the emulator internal sd card device (/dev/fuse).

As we know if we use fuse, the files access have to communicate with userspace with low effect, why android do not use a stackable passthru filesystem such as wrapfs(wrapfs.filesystems.org) to mount the /data/media direct to internal sd card path(/storage/scard0)?

Especially, we have the MTP option access internal sdcard and external sdcard for PC(windows)

I installed a JDK and then an Android SDK on my Ubuntu 12.04, 32-bit machine (2 GB DDR3 memory). The aim is to have an Android emulator. I created some Android Virtual Devices, one of which I named 'Andreud'. When I type in the command

emulator @Andreud

where 'Andreud' is the name of the Android Virtual Device I created. A blank window with a black backdrop shows up on which "android" word is visible, in its trademark font. This, I suppose, is the welcome screen. The home screen, icons, etc. don't show up. Also, there are buttons for volume control and also the power on button, all of which are enabled. Even the D-pad buttons which has 4 navigation buttons left, right, top, bottom, and a central button are enabled. There are other important buttons, home button, menu button which are disabled. It just shows a welcome screen and for minutes on end and goes blank again.

I would like (barest minimum) one of my Android Virtual Devices to work.

texts: Lost all my contacts after flashing custom rom (sg2)

texts:
I got a Galaxy S2 as an upgrade from my HTC Hero around January this year. My phone contacts have always been synced to my Gmail account and the backup worked since I got all my contacts on my SGS2 from my HTC Hero. However, I flashed a custom ROM on my SGS2 and since then only 14 of my contacts have been retrieved. When I try to manually sync the phone with Google it still only shows the 14 contacts. I visited http://google.com/contacts and to my surprise I only have the 14 contacts there as well.

How can I fix this problem? Do I have to flash it back to custom rom or is there any other way?

11. The Galaxy S III (International) now has a custom recovery installed.

I'm not sure whether this really is the case, since when I hold Home + Volume Down + Power to get to recover mode, what I get to is still Odin, eventhough I'd expect this to boot into TWRP. Odin lists the following

ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9300
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: YES (1 counts)
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official

Judging by CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD, something has been downloaded, but did something go wrong in its installation?

texts:
I have a fedora chroot running on an Android device and want to be able to plug a USB pen drive into the Android device and have it accessible to a user in the fedora chroot.

The pen drive is mounted to /mnt/usbhost2 within Android.
I have created a folder within /media of the fedora chroot as a mount point this folder (/usb) is owned by the user that needs access to the usb device.

I have then tried the following command the mount the USB device to this folder:

$bbox mount -o bind /mnt/usbhost2 $mnt/media/usb

Which does work however the usb folder is no longer accessable by the user (only root user has access).
Before the mount the usb folder ls -l out put:

drwxrwxr-x username username 4096

However after the mount the ls -l out put it:

d---rwxr-x username media_rw 8192

So the question is how to I get the owner to have access again, simply using chmod does not work. I guess it has something to do with that fact that the usb device is formatted FAT32.

Is there another way I could mount this drive in the chroot that would give the user access?

And I keep running into a roadblock on both tablets when I get to the point in the set up were it asks for my Google email address. See the screen capture.

Is there a way to around the "Factory Reset Protection"?

Update I now have what the eBay seller calls an "OEM MICRO USB male to female USB OTG Host Adapter For a RCA Voyager RCT6873W42 Tablet". I must be doing something wrong in trying to get the tablet to see the prog "Bypass any Samsung Google Account Lock.apk" or I am using the wrong APK prog.

Also I have found that I have full access via a back door to all non rooted files and directory's in the tablet via the USB cable when connected to my Windows laptop. What I can do with that back door, I don't know. But I can read and write to the tablets. I also have ADB/Fastload for windows. I have used ADB/Fastload to root a cell phone and a tablet before. But that cell phone and tablet didn't have FRP installed in them. They were older OS's.


texts: Simulate a keypress on Android tablet without a keyboard

texts:
This is a follow-up question to this question here.

This YouTube tutorial here outlines the process of installing Windows 10 on an Android tablet with an x86-based processor architecture. However, a crucial step of the process involves initiating boot mode on the tablet with F11 in order to select boot from USB as an option, and hitting F11 requires connecting the tablet to a USB keyboard via a USB OTG cable.

Since I don't have either an OTG cable or a USB keyboard, I'm wondering if there's a SuperUser (read: geeky and resourceful) way to bypass the need of the USB keyboard and OTG cable entirely (or failing that, just the USB keyboard)? Something like auto-running script on a USB device that could simulate the pressing of the F11 key on the Android tablet during boot for that one instance?

So I'm looking out for an Amazon delivery I don't want to miss, and the Amazon Shopping app puts up the message in my phone's notification area saying my package is 6 stops away, view it on a map.

But the notification makes no sound, so chances are I don't notice.

Similar to this question about Google Calendar notifications misbehaving in the same way. There are no answers to that one to date, and the person fixed it eventually by reinstalling the app. But I've already tried installing the Amazon Shopping app on three different Android devices (Samsung phone, Motorola phone and Amazon Fire tablet). On all three devices the issue is the same.

I've checked all the related settings I can find, both general Android settings and those within the app.

How is it possible the Android operating system can let the user configure audible notifications and it all works fine except for one app?

I just downloaded QuickPic and so far it's all good and fast. It has more features than the stock Gallery including the ability to include / exclude certain folders from view. For this reason, I don't need/want the stock Gallery app to still be open-able. Is there a way to hide it from the list of applications from the grid of icons? I want QuickPic to catch all tasks that Gallery does and at the same time I want to prevent others (namely, friends who borrow my phone from time to time) from opening the Gallery app.

Note:
My phone (Xperia Active) is not rooted and I believe rooting it will void my 1 year warranty with Sony.

texts: Installing Orbot as a remote SOCKS server for other computers?

texts:
I installed Orbot on my Android device and I want to make it a remote SOCKS server so that other computers can connect to it.

The TorFAQ – Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki suggests that for Tor on Windows, the user should edit Tor's directive file torrc. So I did the same thing with Orbot on my device. Here is the contents of my torrc file on Android:

SocksListenAddress 0.0.0.0
SocksPort 9050
SocksPolicy accept *
SafeSocks 1
Log notice stdout
ControlListenAddress 127.0.0.1
ControlPort 9051
CookieAuthentication 1
RelayBandwidthRate 20 KBytes
RelayBandwidthBurst 20 KBytes
AutomapHostsOnResolve 1
TransListenAddress 127.0.0.1
TransPort 9040
DNSListenAddress 127.0.0.1
DNSPort 5400
HardwareAccel 1
SafeLogging 1
TestSocks 1

I added the first and third lines to the original file. However it doesn't work. The SOCKS server refuses the connection all the time.

Can anybody help me please?

I have tried multiple SMS apps to see if they made a difference but they all behave the same way as the default text app.

texts: Why would the screen to a Droid Razr Maxx randomly break?

texts:
I read many good reviews about the Droid Razr Maxx which mainly focused on its large 3300 mA battery. All reviews brag about how long the phone lasts before running out of power.

Most reviews on Amazon speak highly of the phone too.

HOWEVER, I came across this blog Droid Razr Maxx – Broken Screen

Surprisingly, a LOT of people are complaining about having cracks in their screens. Some admit that their phone fell to the ground, but many others say the screen cracked without falling.

Does this have to do with the large 3300mA irremovable battery? I mean is this because of the battery heating up and expanding?

Is this a flaw in Motorola's version of Ginger Bread?

Note:
AFAIK, the screen is made of Gorilla -unbreakable- glass, so I think most people mean the LCD screen cracked.

UPDATE

Here is another link from Verizon's forums about customers suffering from the same problem. Some of them say it wasn't dropped.

I have a Google Pixel 2 XL and a Sony XAV-AX100.

More often than not, when I connect the phone to the car, Android Auto is unusable. Everything is sooooo slow, that I have to reboot the phone. I can struggle to get Google Maps to work and if it does, it's often lagging behind so directions aren't accurate.

Playing music through Google Play Music will work, eventually, but every few minutes, it will stop momentarily and then continue (much like a CD skipping). This happens to other audio apps such as Pocket Casts too.

Once the phone has been rebooted, it works perfectly.

I've removed all the apps I don't really need, as well as some that I found reported as bad for this online.

Is there a way I can find out what is hogging the resources of my phone when I try to use Android Auto? I think the phone doesn't run as well at times of normal usage, but nothing like what I see in Android Auto.

I have issues with the Sony XAV-AX100, which Sony are now refusing to resolve because my warranty expired, even though I reported these before it did!

I've been using a Nexus One for the past year and half and am very happy with it as a phone.  I am not, however, happy with my carrier and so will be trading up very soon.  Amongst the current crop of 4G phones, the Nexus S has caught my attention, largely due to its similarity to the Nexus One.

One major difference between the two has me concerned, however — I absolutely love the trackball on my N1 and am having trouble picturing how I'll be able to use a phone as effectively without one.  My main concerns are:

Text entry.  I tend to edit my emails / text messages / etc. as I write them by jumping back and forth frequently.  The trackball makes this very easy to do with great precision.
Games.  I play a number of puzzle games (Shortyz, Vexed Pro, Andoku, etc.) which all benefit greatly from the "scroll-and-click" interface of the trackball.

Does the Nexus S (or Gingerbread) offer anything to fill the holes left by the removal of the trackball?  I've seen mention of a "brand new text-selection paradigm" introduced in Gingerbread, but haven't the faintest idea what that's in reference to.

I had been hoping for something like arrow keys on the soft keyboard, but if a setting for them exists, I'm not able to find it.

My LG V35 was recently upgraded to Android 9 and after the upgrade app pinning stopped working. I can pin an app but it gets unpinned by the OS and removed from the list of my recent apps. This was never a problem with Android 8 before the update. Any app I pinned before the upgrade stayed permanently pinned even after restarting.

I tried adding apps I want to stay pinned to the list of power saving exclusions but that did not help.

Any ideas how to fix this or is this "normal" OS behavior with Pie?

Edit: This question is not about screen pinning, it is about app pinning (the little pin shown on the app title bar when app list is open).

texts: Power on when charging but only when battery level is greater than 20%

texts:
I have recently tried to fit a tablet into my car and I came across a problem with waking up the device
without using the power button. My solution is to boot the device whenever it is charging, but
I have noticed that when the battery level is at 0%, the device boots and then immediately shuts down.
I have used this adb option to trigger this behavior:

fastboot oem off-mode-charge 0

However this boots the phone without checking the battery level and as I said - if the battery is dead, the phone (or rather a tablet- Nexus 7 2012) turns off immediately - it drains the battery faster that I'm able to charge it.
Is there any way to make the tablet boot only if the battery level is greater than, say, 20%?

Hey there people of this.. site.
I've tried every "Real" method of rooting xiaomi 11.0.5 (My current ROM)
I've tried patched vbmeta images, TWRP, and all of the one click root apps ( Yes my antivirus did flag all of them), and I mean ALL of them. Kingo root, king root, whatever.
I've tried 2 TWRP methods:
The official one: I flashed the recovery partition with the "merlin" image (Yes this did in-fact worked, and my OEM is unlocked btw)
Result: The recovery partition DID NOT BOOT. simply stayed at ADB recovery for a while and rebooted.
An un-official method: I flashed 3 main partitions. Vbmeta, Misc, and recovery. The result? A firm-brick. Somewhere in between in severity of a soft / hard brick. What I mean by this is that it booted and just.. stayed black. There wasn't even a post screen saying "REDMI Powered By Android", luckily it somehow went into ADB recovery allowing me to go into fastboot and flashing the stock global ROM. And.. it worked, thank God.
Other recovery ROMS don't seem to support this device (merlinnfc) like orange fox for example.
In a sense, I've tried everything, and I am yet to defeat the 2020 November security patch.

I'm seeing the strangest activity on my mobile device, as well as my fiances. And I believe whatever is plaguing our phones is also effecting my PC as well.

After seeing the same things but worse in the S10's we actually switched carriers to another set of S10's and are having the exact same issues.

I noticed I was being properly updated either. And I couldnt view the previous update info which I should be able. And when we dropped our previous carrier the phone was able to update properly after about a day of being deactivated. Then with our new carrier, they rolled me back to the Feb edition if SE for Android status after already giving me March.

texts: ADB Wifi loses connection when device's screen turns off - Realme 7 - Android 10

texts:
I work on Android Studio while using actual device for ADB using ADB over tcp/ip through command prompt (no additional software). But, this new device gets offline the moment screen turns off. I've tried turning off everything related to Battery Optimization or Wifi. Although, there's no such specific setting to let the Wifi awake after device sleeps like my old phone Huawei.
I'd also posted this over the official forum of Realme about a week ago but no one has replied so far. Link - Wifi gets turned off after screen lock - ADB issues.
So, Device's status in ADB devices goes to offline the very moment screen locks and then I've to do the process of ADB Wifi all over again and I don't want to use cable all the time because it affects battery through that 0.5/0.9 mA slow charging through motherboard. It is already slow enough that battery gets discharged even after continuous charging. I use ADB Wifi for more than 14 hours per day hence I need a stable solution.
So, my question is how to keep the device's Wifi on even after screen lock? I know it's device specific because of the custom changes to the ROM but I really need something.

Seems like WhatsApp update has erased all my WhatsApp history. Is there any way to get it back? (Without paying for third party tools, if possible)
I bought a new Android phone (Realme 7 Pro) and wanted to transfer my WhatsApp data from the old iPhone to the new Android phone. Seems like there is no way to do it easily so I had to buy a third party app that helped me to transfer the data.
I connected both phones using USB, the app read WhatsApp messages from my old iPhone, then installed WhatsApp on my new Android phone and imported all the messages. After the successful migration I deleted WhatsApp on my old iPhone and all seemed to be fine.
Then I was experiencing certain problems with WhatsApp and got a suggestion that I might need to update it. I then found WhatsApp in Play Store and there was a button reading "Install" on it. I got a bit surprised about why it says "Install" rather than "Update" but I thought that's just the way it is on Android. I then downloaded WhatsApp and got 2 WhatsApps on my desktop. I tried running the new one and it asked me to confirm the number. I then closed it and wanted to open the old one and realised that it was gone...
I don't have backup of my WhatsApp history on iCloud either so I can't get it from there.
I have previously backed up my iPhone using iTunes though so I might be able to get something from there, but still wondering what has gone wrong on my Android phone. How could WhatsApp installation just completely bin everything from the previous version?..
Thank you very much for any information/suggestions :)

KingRoot's Superuser, while effective at its main purpose, is throwing up adware lockscreens.  I'd like to replace it with SuperSU but have had difficulty finding instructions detailed enough for my low level of knowledge.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 Duos, with two SIM cards set up. Each of them has a data plan. In order to switch the active data plans from one SIM to another, I go to SIM Card Manager under Settings and change the preferred SIM for Mobile Data Network. Is there a more convenient way to do this?

I can switch between active SIMs using the pull-down menu, but this does not switch the active data connection. Is there a setting or utility that lets me do this from the pull-down menu as well?

texts: Does any app allow schedule voice record except Cinixsoft recorder?

texts: I have installed cinixsoft. It can schedule time recording. However, it will randomly stop and then resume. For example, a 2 hour record may cut into 15 mins, 40 mins, 20 mins, 40 min etc. During every cut, it will lost around 3 mins of data. In other words, I will get around 105 mins out of 120 mins of recording. Does any other software do the same thing, but without that problem?

texts: "Cannot download, not enough space" when "Phone Storage" clearly lists enough space

texts:
I just installed Android 2.1 on my Pandigital Novel.  Anytime I try to download an app (via WiFi), I get this error: Unable to download.  Not enough space on phone.  However, the phone lists the free space as being 125.57Mb, about 25 times the size of the file I wanted to install.

I took the APKs I was trying to download and put them on my SD card.  I was able to install them to the device from there proving it does indeed have space.

What should I do?

texts: Is there anything malicious with play support libraries?

texts:
I was doing my daily stuff on my Android Nougat.

And then something started downloading, play support libraries. I think OK right. But the moment downloading stopped, and installation started my mobile's screen started showing black screen for 2 secs with of a interval of about 5 secs. It continued for about 2 mins. And then the black screen was no longer appearing. But, now my phone started lagging.

So, I was thinking if that was indeed play support libraries or something else.

I'd also noticed that the first character of any word was not capital, i.e. play support libraries.  Which is a small mistake lazy developers often make while making vulnerable apps with the name of any system app, e.g. phone / settings, so the user doesn't notice, after the app gets installed silently, and can do it's work without interference.

So, Is there anything I can do to check if my mobile's safe or not?


texts: Can't pair my phone with my Windows 8 computer on a Cyanogenmod 13 install without Gapps

texts:
Long story short, I managed to pair once, but I couldn't send files. I un-paired and can't re-pair to it.

The phone keeps saying "Failed to communicate, incorrect pin or passkey" and my computer says "Adding this device failed, please remove the device and try again" during the pairing process.

I have installed Cyanogenmod 13 over the Android 4.0.1 kernel it had before, but I haven't installed gapps on it yet. I've seen some other issues here and there, but they haven't really impacted much, but I'm worried it might have something to do with it.

Edit: I should mention that I want to send files both ways, forgot to in the original question.

texts: Phone stuck on bootloop after twrp flash by fastboot

texts:
I own a symphony v32 phone (5
1.1 lollipop) with mt6580 chipset.
 The other day, I downloaded an unofficial version of twrp recovery from  https://unofficialtwrp.com/twrp-3-2-3-mt6580/  I did exactly as it said on the site on how to flash twrp.img through fastboot. Not that I blame them as they said, they'll not be responsible if anything happens to my phone...and nor did I perform a backup...
so, as I ran

fastboot oem unlock

to unlock the bootloader, it showed success, and then to flash the twrp.img renamed to recovery.img, I used

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

and it showed success!! yay!! and then,

fastboot reboot

that's when it got stuck on bootloop! Well booting into recovery and reseting the whole device would've probably solved the problem, but little did I know that recovery mode got messed up..as in there was no recovery mode at all. What happens is that, there's 3 boot menu options, recovery, fastboot and normal reboot, now when I press the volume down and select the recovery mode, it hangs there for a couple of seconds, and reboots into bootloop.

Also adb doesn't seem to be listing any device attached

But the fastboot mode works just fine! I've been able to type in

fastboot getvar all

I could attach the output if it'd help in anyway..

I've been thinking if it was possible to fix this if I type in

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

in this case the recovery.img being the original recovery.img?

where do I get stock recovery.img from though...

texts: Is it possible to use Google assistant on an emulator?


texts:
I helped my fried to convert from Iphone to S4. I helped him with initial setup and gave some quick crash course. I visited him after a week and answered a few of his questions. I again visited him today after a week. But his Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 has developed a problem.

The WiFi would stuck on "Turning on" if Bluetooth is switched off.
The phone won't detect any WiFi. I tried with multiple AP with different settings and even without security.
It detected the APs for few seconds once during this troubleshooting time of three to four hours.
Resetting didn't help.

The phone is currently running Android 4.2.2. Any idea on how to make it detect the AP? I'll be trying to flash Android 4.3 via Odin tomorrow. I couldn't do it via Kies as it would say an unknown error occurred.

UPDATE: So I've pushed WiFi Analyzer and playing randomly with WiFi Settings and WiFi analyzer brings WiFi back for good. But same problem after factory reset. And again repeating above actions fixes it.

texts: Can system reserved memory be recovered after debloating?

texts:
Say I have a rooted phone, and I "debloat" it by removing some system apps. This means removing apk files from /system folder. On the other hand, user-installed apps on internal memory go to /data/app folder, according to this answer.

Does this mean the system reserved space is still not available for app installation unless I use something like an app-systemizer (that forcibly stores apk files in /system folder)?

texts: What is the command line syntax of ClockworkMod recovery?

texts:
Background: I recently broke my phone's touch screen; everything else is working - I can even send inputs using adb shell sendevent ... and view the screen with screencap. ADB while in recovery works as well.

however, since the recovery doesn't have the screencap utility, I can't really do anything in recovery mode. I have found the recovery utility, though.

The recovery command though has no help as far as I can tell; there is no man, and neither recovery -h nor recovery --help show anything. Unsettlingly, the command doesn't even terminate immediately.

Are there any resources on this utility, especially on how I can do a full system backup like I would using the options on the screen?

texts: Stop audio player from restarting music after a phone call

texts:
Whenever I receive a phone while listening music (with earplugs), I disconnect the earplugs and take the phone through the normal speakers.

The music is paused during the phone call, no problem there, but when I hang up, the music starts again, even without the earplugs. Which is kind of annoying at work, in an open space.

Is there a way to force the music to stay paused after the phone call?

I'm using the Music Mod app on an Froyo-powered HTC Legend, but I believe it has happened to me with every music player I've tried.


texts: Disable automatic system updates in Android One?

texts:
Is there some hack which I can use to disable automatic check and installation of system updates on an Android One device? I have my device rooted and the automatic installation attempt breaks my Magisk > Restore images functionality as the partitions are locked for editing when the system_updater puts it to use. And then does not leave them free until reboot.

The developer options do have a setting regarding "Automatic System Updates". I did diable it, but all it stops is the Automatic application of the update when I reboot. That is, it does check for the updates, it does the verification and installation and then asks me to reboot. The only difference the toggle makes is that the device does not automatically change to the new slot when I reboot normally.

I am looking for something which can help me in postponing the check for updates until I manually tap on it. If that is too much, at least the update should not download and install without my permission. Google seems to be copying the annoying Windows 10 kind of update process for Android One now.


texts: Series of application freezes and battery discharging fast after turning on flash in camera once

texts:
I have LG Optimus L9 P760, Swift L9 with Android system.

Few days ago I was using my phone camera and turned on "flash" under settings for it (the lamp). When I wanted to take a photo, camera application frozen. I restarted the phone (the lamp is not lighting). I cannot take any photo or video now, application freezes each time I try to run it (I only see the welcome screen).

From that day I experience also:

The standard music player - it starts, shows the title bar and freezes before displaying the songs list (the media explorer shows all the music files).
Battery discharges extremely fast - the phone does not last for even 8 hours on stand by (when I don't use it). And before that day I could use it for 2-3 days without charging.

Both that changes were rapid (before that the battery was working very well for several months).

Phone reset didn't help. Same for putting the battery off and on.

Can it be something related to Android/software? Or is it a hardware problem?

Can I somehow reset the camera/music player (even if I haven't made changes to music player)?


texts: Installing Google apps; "Google Services Framework has stopped" after installation

texts:
The following are the steps I took to get Google apps (Playstore mainly) on my Galaxy Mega 5.8

Root
Downloaded APKs for: Google Services Framework, Google Login Service, Google Play.
Using Root Explorer, I moved all three APKs to the system/app folder.
I changed the file permissions to match other items in the folder.
Reboot. (Saw "Optimizing apps 3/3")
Opened the Play Store and was prompted to log in.

During the process of logging in, a message, "Unfortunately, Google Services Framework has stopped". This message appears periodically, until eventually "Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped". When I try to open it again, I get a server error.

This phone did not come with any Google apps including the Play Store.

Can anyone tell me what I might have done wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Update: I'm not using any custom ROMs. I'd appreciate instructions on how to flash G-apps as well! My current software version is 4.2.2

I can't seem to boot into Recovery mode. Pressing the Power Button + Volume Up + Home Button simply boots up the device normally.


texts: MadTeam's CyanogenMod 7 restarting itself randomly

texts:
I installed MadTeam's CyanogenMod 7 on my Galaxy 5 few weeks ago. First time I root and install a mod, but fairly uneventful process. My phone got way faster, and except for maybe getting a little slower to connect to the wifi and/or obtain an IP address, it is better in every possible aspect.

What is bugging me is that it is prone to restart itself randomly, possibly many times a day, except that I don't notice it most of the time. Just now I noticed because it was in front of my keyboard, and it vibrates when showing the boot animation. The boot itself is quite fast, so it really never posed any problem so far, and it never restarted mid-use, only when inside my pocket or laying on the table (ie. during standby). I just worry that it may become too common or happen during a call, while texting or something.

I fiddled a lot with the configs after installing it to discover what it had to offer, but I avoided changing anything that wasn't UI/usability-related. I took the performance settings warning seriously.

Any possible explanation? Or is this somehow normal, like a hard memory cleaning procedure? I did some seaching, but nothing about such issue.

Phone: Samsing GT-I5500 (Galaxy 5)
Mod: CyanogenMod-7-20120912-MADTEAM-galaxy5 (Android 2.3.7)

Updated mod to 20121001 version.

Got two unresponsive events (once unlocking screen and another one activating wifi) which caused phone restart seconds later, and according to phone uptime counter, an spontaneous reset 2AM last night. Within 48h.

Wifi got awfully bad after update (same baseband I5500LUYJPE), took dozens of tries to get an IP, but apparently it was solved by forgetting the network and typing the password again.

In short: wifi improved, random restarts remain.

I've noticed today, that, if someone in my company is streaming music to our smartTV, my phone is able to interact with it and, for example, pause it or even fully stop it.

I don't know what causes this behaviour, even weirder, my colleague is casting using Spotify and I don't have Spotify on my device.

Needless to say we are using the same WI-FI. But, still, I can't figure out why I can access the stream.

Couldn't that even be a security flaw?

Cordially,

About a month or so after having dropped it I started using my mum's phone for a while, as the size was starting to be a problem and I was about to go to a festival. I have come to want to use my Note again and it hasn't let me charge it. Is this because of how long it has been since it was last charged or the strength of the charger that came with it?

How do I apply the update, if it's actually available? Or if that's not possible, how do I remove this notification? Is the phone maker/vendor responsible for this error? This is my first Android phone. Any help please?

texts: Why doesn't my screen lock work (HTC Wildfire)?

texts: I have a HTC Wildfire with android 2.2 (I can't remember if this problem started right before or right after upgrading to 2.2, but the upgrade was done recently and so was the first time I got this problem). Sometimes (and it seems completely random) the screen lock function never works. When pressing the power button and pulling down the clock it tells me the screen is locked, but there is no lock there! When I pull it down I get to my home screen instead of the screen where I need to enter my lock pattern.

texts: On Nexus 4, system still "up to date" with Kit-Kat

texts:
I would like to install Lollipop over the air on my Nexus 4. I know that there is a factory image available, but I'd rather avoid install that if I can.

I have a Nexus 4 that has been turned off from mid-September of this year to mid-December. It had a bad charger port.

I had it fixed, charged it, and updated everything. Android updated to version 4.4.4. And that was it. Now, every time I look at System Update it says "Your system is up to date". If I manually check updates, it doesn't change anything.

Did I miss some sort of window for Lollipop? How can I get the over-the-air Lollipop install for my Nexus 4? Or will I need to do a whole system update from a computer and reinstall everything?

Also maybe worthy of note: this phone is not currently connected to a phone carrier. It's just used as a wifi. I do intend to connect it to a phone carrier very soon, though.


texts: List of icons for Moto G 2nd Generation running Android 5.0.2

texts:
I have a Moto G (2nd Generation) running Android 5.0.2.  I am new to both the device and to the Android OS, and would like to understand the meanings of the various notification icons present across the top of the home page of the device. Is there a list provided by Motorola or Google?

Note: I know about this related question but that link is specifically for a Samsung Droid Charge model, and is also dated.

Update: The link mentioned in the possible duplicate is a list of "suggested" icons from Google, and is not helpful.

I want to test a website in Webkit.
I have an Android phone.
I know Google forked into Blink, and many Android browsers went the same way due to using Chromium, etc.
Are there any browsers(or another way if possible) for testing a website in Webkit available still(2021. Old links might not be valid anymore)?


texts: How do I change the spell check language independently from the hardware keyboard layout

texts:
I'm using an Asus Transformer Pad Infinity with a German (Swiss variant) hardware keyboard and with the standard Asus variant of Android version 4.2.1.

On a regular basis I need to type in both German and English, so it would be nice to have spell checking in both languages. However, whenever I switch to English spell checking, then the tablet assumes I'm using an English keyboard layout and swaps keys around such as the Y and Z keys. Is there any way around this?

I have installed GNURoot (Fedora flavour) on my Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 10.1 (2014 edition). I am trying to get GUI applications to work (gvim, for starters), but I've been unsuccessful so far.

I've tried several X Window apps, but I don't undersand how to connect to their display (all I found were instructions for the applications started on a Linux PC, not locally under GNURoot) and I tried installing XOrg under GNURoot.

I'm an Android beginner (this is my first "smart" device ever), so I might be missing something obvious or I might be searching in the wrong places. Also, because I am a beginner, I prefer to avoid rooting and installing Linux properly (for now).

I wanted to repurpose an old Gigaset tablet (I believe it is qv 830).
After trying to factory reset it, it just keeps showing text saying resetting and showing an android logo, but keeps it this way as long as it is connected to power/battery is alive. It wont finish resetting. It keeps this screen (part of it is moving so it aint frozen frozen) as far as it is on. After battery dies, screen goes black, and after connected to source it automatically continues "reseting".
I was looking online for solutions literally for days (how to do fix it/how to reset it via pc/how to reinstall OS) but it always included doing it

from phone (reinstall OS)
or through pc via adb (need allowed debugging which this tablet doesnt have and i cant obviously do it)
or with installing on pc specific soft from seriously weird websites.

Connecting it to a pc, the pc does not show it between connected devices.
Is there way to save this tablet?

I have a Sony Xperia P, with Android ICS. I have Ingress installed on my phone. Today, I synced my phone, and Ingress got updated. I had an icon on the homescreen. However - whenever I click on the shortcut, the toast message appears and says Application Not Found. I can't find the Ingress icon in applications list too.

I thought that it might get accidentally uninstalled, so I went to Play store to download it again, but I can see that it's already installed on my phone. I clicked on open button and Ingress got opened, and is still working fine.

So what is wrong here? I didn't yet try to reinstall the app, and don't want to do that. Where's the app-icon, and how can I get it back?


texts: Google maps keeps disabling Privacy Guard on cyangenmod

texts:
This is pretty serious

Rooted with Cm11. Google maps is on sdcard, play services and play store are on system.

I keep seeing google maps privacy guard getting disabled. Once in a while.
Is it possible to disallow this behavior?

There is no point in having PrivacyGuard if every system app can disable it.


texts: How do I tell Android to remember which client certificate to use for a given site?

texts:
I have a site that requires a client certificate in order to allow access.

I've successfully installed a client certificate onto my Android device.

When I access the site from Chrome, I'm prompted with a "Choose certificate" modal popup which lists the installed certificates on my device, asking me to choose which to use.

How can I get Android to remember the chosen certificate so that I'm not prompted each time I attempt to login to the site?


texts: How to mute sound just on Instagram stories?

texts:
I have an Android smartphone. I wish to mute sound on Instagram stories, which can be achieved easily by using the volume buttons.
However, in that case I need to unmute sound when I want to watch a video on YouTube or listen to a voice message on WhatsApp etc. and it's very annoying.
I want my sound to remain unmuted, but to automatically mute when I open Instagram stories without me having to do this manually.
How can this be achieved?
Edit: I'm obviously thinking about other people's stories, I wish to mute sound while watching other people's stories. It's fairly easy to mute sound when I am uploading my own story and this question is not about that.
