texts: How can I read my text messages from another device?

texts:
I have been using my country's local network for quiet some time, this number is used for all my transaction and other otp authentication stuff, also i use this to track incoming text messages from different services that i have subscribed to.

This number is currently used in my nexus, however i have plans to travel to another country (long time) where i need the otp and auth stuff. The country where i would be travelling would not support this cell network or its too expensive to have it supported.

Essentially, is there a way I can read my Nexus 5x's messages remotely I.e. from another device?


texts: How do I unpair my Bluetooth Headphones from my phone without access to my phone?

texts:
I've a complex problem.

My phone refuses to turn its screen on. Its touch screen has proven to still work, but it just simply refuses to open the screen.

I bought a new phone, but my problem consists of the fact that my wireless headphones are still paired up through bluetooth to the phone that wont open its screen anymore.

I dont remember how to navigate to the bluetooth screen in the settings with a black screen.

My problematic phone is an Allview P6 Qmax.
My headphones are a Panasonic RPBTD5K.

I would like to know if its possible to use... Maybe a third party program, thats capable of unpairing my problematic phone from my headphones.

Or if my headphones have a command to unpair from what they're paired with.

Thanks.


texts: Headphones buttons don't operate on current app

texts:
I have a Samsung s3 phone (rooted Cyanogenmod). I like to listen to audiobooks on Overdrive Media Console. I also have Poweramp installed for playing videos and songs. The problem I face is: Whenever I connect my headset and operate the play/pause buttons, they are intercepted by Poweramp, and not applied to Overdrive. Even if I've removed Poweramp from the currently running apps, using the headset buttons pops open Poweramp instead of playing/pausing the audiobook I'm currently listening to on Overdrive.

I wasn't able to find settings that would make the headset operate on the current app. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

texts: When extactly does the hangouts_video_call.ogg extracted from hangout.apk?

texts:
Two ringtones are extracted from Hangout.apk to /storage/ringtones folder during some system setup phase.

To analyze that,  I manually deleted the ringtone files from my_files >> Ringtone. Now, no hangout ringtone in settings->sound->ringtone.

Then, done "Factory reset" from settings. Now, hangout ringtones didn't restored.

Now, i did "Factory reset" from recovery mode.Those hangout ringtones are restored again. That is visible through MyFiles as well as RingtoneChooser.
So, it turned out that "Factory reset" is somewhat different between "recovery mode" and from "settings".

I need to know when extactly does the hangouts_video_call.ogg extracted from hangout.apk? How can i find the log ? Any clue will be highly helpful.


texts: Updates reinstalled bundled apps I have uninstalled

texts:
I've recently purchased a Samsung S3 Mini, and as I do with all my new devices, I go through and uninstall applications that I know I will never use.

Twice now since I've owned the device, there have been android updates, and in both cases it has re-installed the apps I removed (as well as add a few new ones that can't be uninstalled but that's another question).

So is there a way to configure my phone to not install these unwanted applications?

texts: All android processes crash when booting device

texts:
Today I turned on my tablet (a Samsung Galaxy Tab A6). I was expecting to see the usual home screen, but as soon as the operating system loaded, I got a lot of process crash errors. Please note that I'm not opening any of these apps, the error messages are appearing by themselves.

All the error messages are overlapping.

Here are some of the processes that are crashing:

system
android.process.acore
android.process.media
External Storage
EmergencyProvider
LogsProvider
BadgeProvider
AutoPreconfig
Google One Time Init
Samsung Push Service
Bluetooth
Camera

These are just a few, the device suddenly reboots after a while (it doesn't always reboot automatically).

When I boot the tablet, it shows, behind the error messages, a welcome screen (the one that appears when you buy a device and boot it for the first time). This welcome screen is unusual, as I never formatted the tablet's memory.

Here's a photo, so I can explain better.

Without knowing how, I got to the main screen, requiring me to put the SIM Card code. As soon as I put the code, other process crash messages kept appearing, so it's impossible to go even to the Home Launcher.

I'm wondering if there's a solution to this big problem, and what it has been caused by (a virus, file corruption...).

Please, I need help. I don't know why I get these error messages, and I didn't find any solution to this problem on the Internet.

Thanks in advance.

texts: How to check if application on Google Play would work on other (not own) phone?

texts:
Is there a way to (at least approximately) check if an application I have found in Google Play store would work on friend's phone.  I'd rather not suggest an app that would not work on friend's phone.

For example is there a way to check if an application would work on Android 2.3, when my phone has Android 4.1.2?

Nowadays Google Play store has (in the web version) "Additional information" section, with table (actually: divs) containing structured information about an app, with the following 'columns': "Updated", "Size", "Installs", "Current Version", "Requires Android", "Content Rating".

While usually the information I want is in "Requires Android" field (e.g. '4.0.3 and up', '2.2 and up') sometimes it is just 'Varies with device', e.g. SoundHound.

only thing i can do is get into flash boot menu and when i select normal or recovery the phone restarts and again goes blank. it gets warm when charging or when its restarting.moto care has asked to take it to their centre but theres none within a 100km radius

texts: What's the easiest way to add files to the Android system partition?

texts:
I need to add a root certificate to Android systems. I hope to achieve this by copying the appropriate file the following path: /system/etc/security/cacerts, or using a flashable zip.

Due to the fact that applications from Android version 7 and upwards no longer trust user-added CAs by default, I will need to do this to many tens of devices from multiple vendors.

Possible methods:

Rooting the devices
Via a custom recovery

Drawbacks:

Rooting:

I will need to separately find a method of rooting each device. There
is no generic rooting method that will work for all devices.

Custom recovery:

I will need to obtain multiple customized TWRP (or other) recovery images, one for each device model.
Not all devices have custom recovery images available.

Is there an easier and more generic method to achieve my goal?

But soon I found that it does not delete the system files, because that is not possible without root.

I also found that I can root my phone using adb. The procedure (on a different phone, though) is here:

Video 2

After rooting and installing magisk, I want to delete the system files from adb using the following command (say, to remove google photos):

Two questions on this:

Is this possible to be done on my device? Any precautions?
Is there any way to backup the system files before deleting it?

texts: How can a lost locked phone in airplane mode be unlocked?

texts:
I lost my Android phone on vacation that was in airplane mode (Moto G5, v7 updated). It was protected by fingerprint and swipe. I almost always use the fingerprint to unlock, but do very occasionally use the swipe.

I locked it online remotely and remotely logged out of it when I realized it was lost several hours later. The timeout interval should be only 1 or 2 minutes.

I was hoping to recover it in some fashion, so I didn't remotely wipe it, secure in the knowledge that it couldn't be unlocked.

So I was surprised to be contacted two days (!) after I lost it on my other devices and accounts via an instant messaging app on the phone by someone who claimed to have found the phone and was looking for the owner.

In shock I didn't reply and quickly used Device Manager to remotely wipe the phone immediately. I also changed all my Google passwords for the accounts on the phone. I checked the Gmail logins and noticed none outside of my possession. I also checked Google Maps timeline and didn't see anything outside of my possession. Oddly, though, in Device Manager I clearly did see the phone located in the city I lost it, but a distance away from where I was.

A few questions:

How could a locked phone with a recent Android OS be unlocked, taken out of airplane mode, and home screen accessed?
How could the remote lock not work, assuming somehow someone opened up the phone within the lockout interval?
I saw the phone in the city I lost it on Device Manager (where I executed the remote wipe). How could it be there, but nowhere visible in my Google Maps timeline or Gmail login history?
Is there something I might be forgetting to do security wise?

Thank you.

texts: Accessibility services get disabled automatically

texts:
This Christmas I gave a Wiko Lenny 3 to my son, it comes with Marshmallow.
When trying to install a parental control I sadly discovered that there's a bug (I suppose) that is well documented for Lollipop/Samsung, that prevents accessibility services to be activated.

In other words, as soon as I activate the parental control in the settings/accessibility/services option, it always appears off, although it's on, and resets to off randomly and at every reboot. This makes totally unusable the parental control.

The questions are:

is there a fix for this? (Any solution with battery savings was tested with no success)
is there a way to understand, via logs or monitorings, what is preventing the services to be activated?
would rooting some how change something?
is it safe or even possible to install a different and clean Android version?


texts: Why does every app has/needs the permission "Send MMS" and "Send Email"?

texts:
So, I recently bought Elephone P8000 which has Android 5.1 installed. One of the first things I noticed was the new "App Permissions". After installing a few of my standard apps, I was curious and checked the app permissions, and I was quite surprised when I saw that every app had the permissions "Send MMS" and "Send Email".

I could understand that if it were only WhatsApp, obviously, a chat app might need this permission. But even my GBA Emulator or the Fallout Pip-Boy app had this permission even though they don't have any kind of communication functionality.

So what is the point of these 2 permissions? Why does every app need those?

Has someone tried successfully saving browser sessions on Android?

Edit

Seems that Tabboo plugin is working. But still I will welcome any recommendations, as it does not let us import, export sessions. Ok, it seems to be buggy. We cannot open saved sessions. Can only delete url from session, rename session name, cant open session, cant open url from session.
Also tried tabSession, Saving sessions and opening them working. But it shows only name you gave to the session while saving in its UI. So UI is just a list of names of sessions. It does not show URLs within each session.
Just came to know we can use kiwi browser on android which can install extensions from chrome store. I tried installing session buddy in kiwi. The extensions worked quite well, with some limitations. Able save, open, export sessions. Seems that session buddy cannot capture tabs in incognito. Also there are some UI glitches, may be since the plugin is built for desktop screen asect ratio.

Yesterday I unexpectedly got an error message on my 1 week old LG Optimus L9 saying "CP Crash: Don't Power OFF & Contact us" with a timestamp and lost contact with my SIM card.

Here is a screenshot of the error:

The time displayed in the message was 2 hours ago, the phone was in sleep mode, and I saw the message when I unlocked it.

After restarting the phone, everything went back to normal, and the message has reappeared 7 times since then, even after 2 factory settings resets, LGMobile Support Tool emergency recovery and SIM replacement.

What could cause such error and how can I prevent it in the future?

Android version is 4.1.2 (the latest official update).

texts: How to insert 2 sim cards on ulefone armor 9

texts: I have the ulefone armor 9. It states it has a Hybrid Dual SIM (Nano-SIM, dual stand-by). In the settings it seems it says there are 2 slots for sim cards. But for the life of me I cannot figure out how to put in 2 sim cards. Opening the slot seems there's only place for 1. Anyone seen this before? How is it supposed to work?

I have a Tesco Hudl 2 running Android 4.4.2. I have 9GB of total storage. But little free, despite not using much.

It shows a few GB in-use and 0.5GB free. The usage bar shows 80% available, but the table shows 581MB available. I used to have many apps installed, now there are fewer apps, and no room for more.

Total space 9.12GB
    Avalable 581MB
    Apps 1.58GB
    Pictures 12.46MB
    Audio 496kb,
    Downloads 35.61MB,
    Cached data 59.51MB
    Misc 113MB

That is less than 2GB in-use, and 9GB - 2GB = 7GB ≠ 0.5GB

I have no idea what has happened to the rest of the memory. Can you tell me how to fix, or diagnose?

Note: I have read insufficient-memory wiki.

It has 16GB of internal storage, and according to various websites I should only see about 9GB of this. The storage tool shows about 9GB of total storage.

As requested, I ran Diskinfo & DiskUsage. DiskUsage shows System data of 6782 MiB, this appears to be the problem, but what is system data, and why so much?

When diagnosis email display issues everything is fairly straight forward because everything is sent as plain text(or HTML+CSS) which allows you to determine the issue.

How can I get the plain text version of text messages being sent from an iPhone.  Right now images are often not coming through to the Android phone when being sent from my iPhone.  I would diagnosis the issue but I am not sure where to start.

Does anybody know the memory limitations of websites running AOSP back to 4.0?

We often see sites using around 30MB-60MB in Chrome's heap inspector (which seems kind of random). Sometimes upwards of 100MB.

Does anybody know if there's a hard limit? Or a common limit where it gets crashy?

At my work we all have Android devices which are used to dispatch jobs to us. It uses a web-app accessible through any web browser. When a new job arrives we are notified with an audible alert. However, because of the way Android handles the memory, it often "sleeps" (don't know the proper terminology) the web browser so if we get a new job through, we aren't notified unless we manually re-open the web browser to "wake" it.

Is there any workarounds for this issue?

Cheers

texts: Why does Android GMail app pop an icon for new mail when I delete a message in web GMail?

texts:
I have my GMail Android app set to notify on new messages.

However, it ALSO pops up notifications when I simply delete an existing (new or read) message from the web-based gmail.com

Is there an explanation of why this happens and how to stop it?

I saw a related question on A.SE -  Gmail notification sound only for new mail - but it was for notifications when marking messages as unread or moving the messages into Inbox.

Also, it wasn't answered and the only helpful comment wasn't something I can use (Turn on "Notify Once" setting) since this would ALSO stop per-new-message individual notifications which I need to have.

UPDATE: If it matters: Droid X, rooted stock Froyo 2.2. Gmail - latest version but this behavior was the same for the last year, with all versions of the app (likely since day 1, I just didn't use gmail on the web back then too frequently).

texts: Android 8 / LG 6: Add next alarm to lock screen?

texts:
On my previous Nexus 5 (which was running Android 6), the lock screen displayed this: 19:05 ⏰ 7:30 (indicating that it's now 19:05 and the next alarm would be at 7:30).

Now that I'm on Android 8 (on a LG G6), I cannot find any way to display the next alarm on my lockscreen. I've seen some videos about Facewidgets, but that only appears to be for Samsung phones. Even the "Always-on-display" doesn't include the next alarm.

Is there a way for me to do that? I've tried even looking at the Android API to see if I could build my own app to customize the displayed clock (there are functions allowing me to get the next alarm clock). I just can't find a way to manipulate what is displayed on the lock screen.

Any ideas is welcome!

I've even tried installing TWRP and rooting via odin which was successful, computer recognised it via USB. I then tried installing a custom ROM and gapps which was also successful but still have boot loop issue.
Possible water damage, if so what part will be faulty?

If I add a new app, its icon will appear where put after a reboot, but it's as if a subset of old icons have been remembered somewhere or a config file has become read only. I have tried manually deleting the backup files from the SD card but this doesn't help.

Any ideas?

I guess this has to do with our habit on desktop computers where we

open an application
use it
close the application

AFAIK there's no direct way from within the application to close it. And by pressing the Home button app just gets into the background. Still running.

I got a habit of pressing Home, then Recent apps and flicking all open apps out.

Is this a bad habit? Should I leave applications like GMail, FB, Currents, GNow, etc. running or is it better to close them and have as less apps as possible running?


texts: Can Android and/or Apps handle switching an SD card temporarily?

texts:
I have a lot of apps and app data on my SD card. I know Android handles unmounting and remounting that card very well.

However, what if I temporarily insert another SD card onto my Android device - will the system handle this OK and be back in the same state when I reinsert my original card? What about apps, should they in most cases handle this well too?

What I'm worried about is that Android seeing the empty SD card decides that I've removed all the apps that I had on my SD card, and any apps I have left will also think I've removed their data and rewrite some internal indexes accordingly...

*Additional Notes :

Actually I don't give a limit which version of the Android (so if it's just compatible in higher version e.g. 4.2, it's okay for me), but I prefer it works on 2.3.x (Gingerbread)
Some explanations of how to make APN (Infrastructure Mode) on Android (just like Wireless Router/[netsh wlan hostednetwork] on Windows 7/8) might be really helpful too.
And also some explanations about how to masquerade (internet sharing) between two interfaces in Android. (such as ICS in Windows or Masquerade/iptables thingy in Linux-based)


texts: How to fix the infamous Nook Color / Nook Tablet charging USB cable for good?

texts:
The Barnes&Noble Nook Color / Nook Tablet have a proprietary micro USB charging port which is longer than normal and allows power charging with 2Amps.

The charging/data cable from BN is infamous to break after some time, most probably the cable's primary plastic coating is not very flexible and starts to split at the point where it enters the micro usb connector and leads to a visible secondary shielding. If nothing is done the situation worsens and in the end the internal power cables may short.

I got my used B&N Nook Color with a beginning coating split and cannot get a replacement from B&N because I live outside the US and have no invoice.

Seems like this problem is a common one, there are already discussions about a class action lawsuit.

What can I do besides looking for a replacement?

Both batteries must be good because I can turn on the cell with them (even though with one of them I can't boot past download mode) and the rest of the hardware must also be fine because phone works fine.

texts: What determines which application acts to a bluetooth AVRCP command?

texts:
Background: I have a A2DP/AVRCP bluetooth headset (Nokia BH-505) which I use actively to listen to both podcasts and music. Of course, I listen to these with different apps. The bluetooth headset has some "command" (AVRCP) buttons, relevant to audio - in specific: "next track", "previous track" and "play/pause"

Currently whenever I press any of the commands, one of the music players I have installed (Meridian) always gets the command - even when it's not active. So when I click "play/pause" intending to pause a podcast (DoggCatcher), instead Meridian is activated and starts playing music along with the podcast.

Both players are set to be using the headset: DoggCatcher has "Bind to headset" turned on, and Meridian has "Headset Buttons" turned on. I'm currently using unrooted stock Android 2.2.1 on GT-S5570 but may be rooting and upgrading to 2.3 CyanogenMod (or such), in future.

Ignoring the specifics, my question about this is more general:

How does Android determine which app gets to react to these commands? I'm interested even in a very techincal answer.

On the practical side I'm interested in:

Do I have to fiddle with each applications settings to determine which application takes the commands, or is there some general way of determining this?
Is there a way to configure this so that the application that's actually active would automatically always get the priority? (as was asked partly in another question)

How this question differs from similar questions:

"How to Set 'Play' Button Behavior on Bluetooth Remote" - only practical, different focus, so far has no answers, and I'm also interested in answers that would require rooting or custom firmware (especially CyanogenMod).
Change default application for handling headset controls - an exact issue that got fixed, the but not in a way that would answer my questions, though it does gives some hints as to how things work.
How can I make the button on my headphones control something other than the stock music player? - partly similar question on practical side, but no focus on explaining how it actually works, and the only answer is focused on the part I'm not asking about (making only one app receive the commands).
why do all sound apps get bluetooth button events, all at once - very similar, but asking about a specific issue (all of the media players getting the AVRCP command)


texts: Apps cannot be installed due to low memory, although plenty is there

A friend of mine has a Samsung Galaxy S2 with 16 GB of internal memory and a 8 GB SD card. I have installed Cyanogen Mode 10.1.3 (Android 4.2.2) a while ago with the Google Mobile Services.

I do not see how this adds up to him having to more free memory to install new apps. How can this be fixed?


texts: Create persistent wifi direct connection / reconnect after boot

texts:
I have a Samsung tablet and a Samsung Phone with Android 4.4.2. I can create a wifi direct connection between both devices.

Now I would like to keep this connection after reboot. I know there are persisten groups for this connection and that I can create those with wpa_cli but I don't have wpa_cli, only wpa_supplicant.

Is there an app or trick to recreate the wifi direct connection after reboot? Or do I need to root the device and start hacking around with wpa_cli?

texts: Where is the file description field on the Android Drive app?

texts:
I'm looking for the description field which is easily found when using Google Drive on the web (from a desktop). The field is shown here: http://gappstips.com/google-docs/add-a-description-to-your-google-docs/

When going to the Drive app (on Android 5.1) and going to the file information I just don't see it. I've been using the field extensively for my files and not being able to use it on the mobile version just renders the whole app useless for me.

Much appreciated.

One night After midnight it showed her not online anymore until 7 am in the morning and she said she had not hooked up her phone to the charger that night . Does that mean viber was not online because of power saving mode or she was out of range of wifi or what does it mean when this viber online status changes ?

texts: Android boot architecture compared to desktop boot process

texts:
After reading this answer and pointing article: Can somebody explain the boot process of an Android device?

My Samsung S3 have CyanogenMod installed. There is probability while installing custom recovery via Odin to brick your phone.

How does boot process relate to installing custom recovery? Is custom recovery stored in device's BIOS (CPU ASIC??)?

I'm looking for information, about how bricking works (in analogy to PC).
On PC you "brick" computer when your BIOS flash fails rest is handled by bootloader. It could be recovered by dismounting and reflashing bios chip.

So I assume Android devices must have some kind of BIOS also and switch at some point to start booting from media. Is it correct?

On PC if you do not have any OS or it is corrupted you can use different media (floppy, CD) to boot.
Why is it not possible (from what I know) to do such a boot from Memory card?

By my undersanding, as long as BIOS is not corrupted it should be of no problem to boot/reinstall system?

Person installing my recovery told me to ONLY clear cache folders while chaning OS using recovery. So that would mean I cannot touch any core OS functions? Why is that. On normal PC I could just insert CD with new software and install OS from scratch.

The only explanation comes to my head is that BIOS and System is same thing?


texts: Where is info from /proc/dumchar_info used, on MediaTek devices?

texts:
There are plenty of instructions for changing partition layout on Android, including MediaTek devices, and they say I need to edit MBR, EBR and a ‘scatter file’ and to feed the latter to SP Flash or MTKDroidTools. However, as noted in an answer to “Where does the partition information in /proc/dumchar_info come from, on MTK devices?”, the MediaTek-specific /proc/dumchar_info can't be changed with those means.

Thus the question, where is info from /proc/dumchar_info used? And if it doesn't reflect the actual partition layout and doesn't agree with MBR, EBR and the ‘scatter file’ then what effects should I expect?

texts: SD Card keeps getting unmounted on my HTC Desire

texts:
The SD card in my HTC Desire keeps getting unmounted every now and then and it's very annoying. From what I'm seeing, the SD card is removed only when some kind of multi-tasking with the files on it happens.

Example - Listening to a song that's stored on the SD + Using an app that's stored on the SD.

I haven't rooted my phone and don't intend on doing it. The phone is currently on the official Android 2.3.3 build.

I've tried another SD card but the problem still persists.

It's still under warranty, but I thought I can fix it myself with some help from you guys. :)

texts: How to move /data from internal storage to external SD card?

texts:
Apologies if this question was already asked.

Is it possible to move the /data directory to the external SD card?

I want all apps, app data, downloads and files to be automatically saved to the external SD card, instead of to the internal storage.

Information:

The internal storage is 178 MB, where 157 MB is used by apps. There's no internal SD card and my external SD card has 32 GB.

/sdcard is a symbolic link to /storage/sdcard0 which is the 32 GB external SD card.

The device is rooted and uses CM11/4.4.2.

Tried:

Used Link2SD but could only move the APKs and dalvik. The app data and system apps couldn't be moved. Unfortunately I can't buy the new Link2SD.
Tried FolderMount but it doesn't allow access to /. It only allows access to the SD card.
Couldn't find fstab in /etc or /system/etc
Tried Root External 2 Internal SD but there's no internal SD card, just "internal storage" (shows 178 MB) and "SD card" (shows the 14 GB FAT32 partition on the external 32 GB SD card).

Considered:

su -
cp -r(p?) /data /storage/sdcard0/data
rm -r /data
ls -s /data /storage/sdcard0/data

However, I'm new to modifying Android and don't want to accidentally brick my device. When I tried to copy the data directory as root, it said that some files/directories did not exist.

Does anyone have suggestions?

Thank you for reading.

Edit: @programming Thanks for your help. I can't find the option on the storage page.

The storage page looks like:

Storage (clicking on `:` gives the option "USB computer connection")
Internal storage:
Total space ...
SD card:
Total space: ...
Erase SD card

There are no additonal options, as in: http://teckfront.com/use-external-sd-card-primary-storage-android-4-4-3-phone/

It's a Samsung smartphone with Android 4.4.2 and CM11 rom.

texts: Need a file explorer that supports root as well as showing the folder size

texts:
There seems to be a serious dearth of quality apps on Android. I'm having memory issues in my Xperia L phone and I'm trying to determine the root cause. (No it's not the Album memory leak issue - I've already fixed that). There is a folder that's taking up a horrendous amount of space for some reason and I need to locate which one it is.

So my requirements are:

A file explorer so i can check out different folders
which supports root access so I can check out all folders
which shows the folder size
which allows me to sort folders by their sizes

So far I tried File Commander since it was so highly recommended. Weird that it doesn't support root.

Then i tried a couple of more file explorers each of which had 1-2 of the above features but doesn't have the others.

I also come across one file explorers that did have all these features but almost everything was locked up for "pro access".

Is there any File Explorer that supports all these functions? (IMO these are all basic features but maybe I got spoiled by Windows).

texts: Samsung Galaxy S3 not connecting via USB

texts:
Since about a week, my S3 doesn't connect anymore via usb to any computer.
I don't think it's driver related as it was working before and I didn't change anything on the computers.
It now runs Jelly Bean but it didn't happen right after the update (only after a week or so it stopped working).

The S3 doesn't even show the notification with the usb icon nor the possibility to switch between PTP & MTP...

I tested with 3 different usb cables, on vista, win 7 and mac os x.
Tried to activate / deactivate usb debugging, restart the phone and event done a hard reset, it's still not working.
Phone is not rooted

Maybe it's hardware, but the phone didn't fell or anything like that...

Do you have an idea ?

I am trying to create and run an AVD from command line using Android's Command line tools.

This means I used the sdkmanager to download the following modules:

platform-tools
emulator
build-tools;29.0.2
platforms;android-29
system-images;android-29;default;x86_64

Afterwards I created an AVD using call avdmanager create avd --name android29 --package "system-images;android-29;default;x86_64" where I selected no for Do you wish to create a custom hardware profile? [no].

When launching the AVD using emulator @android29 and booting it up afterwards I get an old-fashioned bootscreen followed by an old-fashioned homescreen. The settings page however shows that Android 10 is in use.

What is the meaning or the reason of the old-fashioned looking UI?


texts: Strange/troubling behavior when putting phone in car dock

texts:
I have a Galaxy Nexus (rooted, running stock Jellybean).  When I place it in the car dock, my screen gets flooded with notifications for "shell granted superuser access," and after a few minutes something attempts to send an email, which I know because it raises the "Select an application to continue" dialog box with choices between Gmail and Email; if I allow it to continue, it simply provides me with a bug reporting email message with no pre-filled recipient, a screen shot of my lock screen, and a 4.7MB(!) textfile.

When I check the superuser log, all of the last 200 events are for "shell," all within a second of each other, which tells me that the actual count of superuser accesses is far higher than that.  Consulting the log indicates that the su process is being used to run a bunch of different diagnostics (one for lsof, one per running process, one per sqlite database, and so on).  So this tells me that it's actually the bug reporting process that is causing the "shell granted superuser access" messages to pop up.  Also, the su instance being used is not the third-party root one but /system/xbin/su - and this process is terminating with exit code 127.

I have never seen this behavior occur anywhere else - it is only when I dock the phone to the car dock when plugged into my car (plugging it into a USB AC adapter doesn't cause this behavior, which is especially strange).  I have written a small application that uses UiModeManager to artificially enter car mode, but doing that does not cause the issue to occur; aLogcat doesn't show anything interesting while the issue is actually happening.

I am running Apex Launcher instead of the default, but these notifications occur regardless of what's in the foreground (the first time it happened, Maps was running in navigation mode), and whether I have a Car Home-specific shell installed or not.

texts: "Warning: camera failed" after update to marshmallow

texts:
The update to marshmallow (finally) came through on my Samsung S5 mini yesterday. The update seemed to go smoothly, but now starting the camera app or the torch app immediately gives a "Warning: camera failed", and exits the app.

So far I've tried everything on this list, which is the most comprehensive I could find (short of a factory reset - I'd like to avoid that if possible)

restart camera
restart device
clear camera cache and data
clear gallery cache and data
smart stay was already off
safe mode (same error message)
wipe cache partition

What else could I try?

It may (or may not) be relevant that I took advantage of the major new feature of marshmallow to restrict permissions for many apps, and to disable some of the bloatware. Of course, the camera app still has permission to access the camera. As part of my troubleshooting I have restored full permissions to the camera and gallery apps.

If nothing can be done, is it correct to assume that it's impossible to roll back the update? And that Samsung/Android developers won't release a fix unless there are a large number of people with the problem?

Sometimes it happens that all image files (JPEG, PNG, etc.) and videos (3GP) are erased automatically in the SD Card. So they are removed from Gallery also.
This means I risk to lose documents and photos I shoot with the phone camera, unless I make external backups.

I noticed that sometimes it looks related to fast mount/unmount cycles via USB cable to a PC (due to unwanted multiple pressure on the 'Activate/Deactivate media archive' soft-button on the phone)

Does anyone know what happens? Is it a known bug, some misuse from my side, etc.

My phone model is LG P962, with Android 2.3.4 and a 32-GB SD Card.

texts: How To Quickly Turn Off Audio On Nexus 6P (Android 7.1.1)?

texts:
My phone is locked (pin required) and the volume is on.  I receive a text message and the appropriate sound beings to play.

How can I very quickly acknowledge the text message, and get the phone to shut up, but still play the audio when I receive the next text?

Hitting volume up/volume down while the screen is locked do nothing for me.
Hitting the power button only turns the screen on and off
If I turn the screen on I can see the text, but if I touch it, I need to enter my pin.  Only after I successfully enter my pin will the audio stop.
If I turn the screen on and then hit volume down, the audio will reduce in volume.  But I need to hit it many times before it gets silent.  Beyond that, the audio hasn't stopped playing, so I now need to wait for the tone to complete and then remember to turn the audio back up on the phone, or I will miss a future audio alert.

I have to imagine there is a better way.  My previous phone would simply treat the message as acknowledged with a pressing of the power button.  The best I can come up with is to replace my audio alert with a very short sound - but then I risk not hearing it/missing it.

So I want a long sound to play when I receive a text, but I want to be able to immediately acknowledge it, leaving the volume of the phone at it's current level.

I've looked in the Settings area of the phone, but haven't had any luck.


texts: Unwanted folders showing up in Gallery. Can they be removed?

texts:
I'm enjoying Bejeweled 2, but don't want the 'backdrops', 'fonts', and multiple 'images*' folders in the Gallery. They're a pain to wade through when I'm trying to see my own pics.  Is there any way to remove them?

I've Googled a bit, but have only found other people complaining about the issue--no real solutions.


texts: Missing icons at the bottom of the home screen with TouchWiz

texts:
My son has recently got a Samsung Galaxy Ace android phone. Somehow he has managed to remove three of the four icons that are normally at the bottom of the screen ( typically the green icon for making a call, the contacts icons etc ).

The bottom screen has now only one button a blue box with four small white squares in it.

How do I get the missing buttons back?

To be specific the buttons that have gone are "Phone", "Contacts" and "Messaging". Instead of being on the bar at the bottom of the screen they are now on the wallpaper with all the other icons.


texts: Two Asus Transformer TF300s, same JB version, different skin

texts:
A friend has two Transformer TF300 tablets, both upgraded OTA to the (apparent) same JB 4.2.1 version, but one has tablet-style notifications (lower right corner) with the Home, Back, and Recent apps buttons left justified on the bottom, and the other has notifications on the top (like a phone), with the back, home, and recent buttons centered at the bottom.

Is there a setting that controls the notification style, or is there some non-obvious difference in the software versions?

In the knowledge base of the Vaulty app to answer this question:

I wonder if Vaulty is really safe and specifically whether this app uses AES encryption or not?

texts: Can I 'trick' my device into thinking it's unrooted?

texts:
I rooted my Nexus 4 in order to install a custom ROM, which I'm quite happy with. However, there are a couple of apps that I want to use but refuse to work because the device is rooted.

Is there a way for me to trick the device into thinking - or telling apps - that it is unrooted?

texts: Samsung Galaxy S2 upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich now Bluetooth headphones won't pair

texts:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 which has just received the upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich (I'm on T Mobile in the UK if that matters).

I have a set of bluetooth headphones. They worked fine before the upgrade, they would be detected by the phone and would pair with it without my having to enter a PIN code.

Since the upgrade to ICS, they no longer work. When I turn on Bluetooth, the phone detects the headphones but won't pair with them. When I try to pair them I get an error message that there is an incorrect PIN entered or an unknown PIN.

I know what the PIN is (0000). The problem is, the phone doesn't give me an option anywhere I can see to actually input this to allow the phone to pair with the headphones.

Samsung have advised me to do a factory reset of the phone, which I've done, but the problem remains. ICS is still on the phone and I still have the above problem.

Can anyone help?

texts: Bypass "Swipe up to unlock" on Android Lollipop lock screen

texts:
I recently flashed my Nexus 4 to Android Lollipop using the factory image.

I have set a pattern lock for unlocking the device. But whenever I turn on the phone, I have to click on the little lock icon or swipe upwards to bring up the pattern unlocker dots.In KitKat or earlier versions, those dots would come up as soon as I turn on the phone.

Is there any way to set the pattern dots visible on lock screen by default? I went through all the settings but in vain.


texts: Using your smartphone as Laptop and Desktop with a DisplayLink-Setup (with S7 for example)

texts:
I want to buy an Samsung S7, but I also want to use it as a laptop and desktop replacement. What I have in mind is a workflow like seen in this youtube video. After some researching how this could be done with the S7 I found out that it hasn't MHL (which might be problematic), and that what is done in the video might not work. Luckily I came across the DisplayLink technology.

So I want to buy a compatible docking station, for example this one. And as I read with USB OTG the phone could not charged I would use a wireless charger. Then some mouse and keyboard (bluetooth or usb with the docking station) and I would be happy. Also I would buy me a portable display and a power bank.

But before I go and buy it, has anybody experience with such a setup? I find it rather difficult to find information on these setups. I found this post here, but it is from 2011 and so not very up to date. So will this setup work? What solutions have you guys for such a setup?

If it might not work, or might be problematic, please feel free to offer alternative solutions, also suggesting different phones, as despite the S7 is my favorite up to now I am still open for other options that do what I want them to do.

EDIT: At the end of this post a user confirms that the Lenovo's DisplayLink (AN9017A1) works with the S7.
