texts: Did Google change the codec for the Google Podcast App?

texts:
I have been noticing recently a significant degradation of sound quality especially in spoken-word podcasts.  It is characterized by very aggressive clipping of silence leading to unnatural speech cadences.  I also notice abrupt changes in volume across those gaps.  I suspect that someone at Google is trying to save some money in transmission and storage expenses.

texts: Google+ data connection issue on Samsung S4

texts:
I'm having a strange problem with my Samsung S4 using the stock, current firmware. The phone is new and straight out of the box. Updates have been allowed to proceed and now report current.

Google+ reports 'Data connection error'. This error should not be taken literally as there is very clearly a fast network connection available: on both 4G and wifi. Every other network accessing app, including other Google apps (including those using the Google user account) work fine.

I've cleared the app cache and data without effect. The issue existed prior to and after a Google+ app update.

Any suggestions?

texts: Frequent audio dropouts on bluetooth, is it possibe to increase BT emission levels

texts:
I have a Xiaomi Note 7 and AKG Y500 headphones. I experience very frequent audio drop-outs unless I keep the phone close to the headphones (in my shirt pocket...).  The same headphones work flawlessy with my PC. Experimentally, checking at home how far I can go before getting drop-outs I have a lot more range with the PC (at least 8 metres) than with the phone (3 meters tops), so I conclude that the emission level of the headphones could be insufficient (the other hypothesis is that the phone isn't sensitive enough to get the return signals from the headphones).

Is there any way to increase the BT emission level of the phone?

texts: How did I get my Nexus 7 homescreen into landscape?

texts:
I was playing around on my Nexus 7 today and somehow ended up in a landscape version of the homescreen. I haven't downloaded any apps that mess with it like Ultimate Rotation Control, or rooted it or anything. Somehow though, it was in landscape and I thought it looked pretty cool. As soon as I switched into a different app and came back it was stuck in portrait again though.

Does anybody know how that would have happened? I'd like to at least mess around with it in landscape, especially since it seems to be built in.

EDIT: It looks like if you open mVideoPlayer and lock the screen, then it will open up to the landscaped homescreen when you unlock. However it rotates back. It doesn't look like the orientation being in landscape messes up anything, so why would it be locked in portrait?

EDIT: The above method worked the first three times but doesn't seem to do it at all anymore.

If I am unable to use my eyesight¹ and also unable to use my mouth², then how can I comfortably enter characters into my device using only one free hand?

Is there gestures I can perhaps (set up or register and then) use to enter characters or Chinese idiograms into the device (without using the keyboard given that hovering over keyboard keys and having each key sounded out by TalkBack seems awkward and using the keyboard with TalkBack seems unnatural to me at least)?

¹ for instance because my screen may be blinded by a very intense outdoors sun or because my eyes may be undergoing adaptation from intense light to dark light environments or vice-versa or because of an accident or because I may be taking part in an experiment requiring me to have my eyes covered with a bandage wrapped around my eyes or because I may have headphones on so as not to make noise and may be sleeping in a place with beds sharing a common room and the light coming from my device would wake others up and lead me into trouble

texts: Add repeating tasks using stock calendar

texts:
Is it possible to have repeating tasks using the stock calender program?

Sometimes I have a task I want to show up each day for a month or something, but I don't want to have to stick with a photocopy machine and handwriting a task list when I have a Galaxy Note 3, running android 4.4.2 kitkat. I don't want to have to root and use questionable programs, just stock android. However, I don't mind, but would really rather avoid, doing something on a computer such as a Perl script and then syncing with wifi or or pushing through usb. I would think that the calendar program would have this feature, but I can't find it anywhere.

The event-type in the calender program can handle repeating events, but not task-type. Events just fill up blocks of time, I want the ability to check off a task, so events wont work.

texts: Can I safely delete .facebook_cache folder if I don't have a Facebook app installed?

texts:
I have noticed that there is a folder named .facebook_cache in /storage/emulated/0/

I have never had the Facebook app or the Facebook Messenger app installed on the device and I don't intend to. At first I thought it must have been put there by the Facebook website, which was concerning, or been set up as default by the Android OS. After reading around I assume it was imported as a backup from the Google cloud from an earlier device which had the app installed.

Can anyone confirm the reason that it exists on this device and if it is okay to delete the folder without causing any issues?

I'm trying to set up my Google Assistant to play some Spotify music. I've linked Spotify in the settings, and when I say a command like 'OK Google, Play Some Music' it responds 'OK, Playing music on Spotify', but it won't actually start Spotify app, it just opens the Music settings.

It does display a link to open Spotify app if I manually select it, but surely it should open Spotify itself?

You can see it recognises my command. But then it opens this Settings screen instead:

Incidentally, I can just ask it to 'OK Google, open Spotify' and it will open it that way, but it won't if I ask it to play any music.

Is there a setting somewhere that I'm missing?

This is on an S8+ so it's pretty up to date.

Up to this point,  I've been happy with my setup, but now I'm reading that I am the only exception to the HB vulnerability on Android. I'd rather not upgrade, or flash a rom if I don't have to.  Is there a way I can replace the lib file in es file, or some other tactic? Where would the file be,  I can't find anything familiar in /system.lib.
Am I understanding correctly that it is only vulnerable through browser, not apps? I changed all my passwords on app services that were susceptible. Trying to get a grasp on it all.
Edit 1:
I found Bluebox's heartbleed scanner in the Playstore via Android police.  It says I'm running 1.0.1c but heartbeat is disabled. It did report that Netflix app was running 1.0.1e and was enabled/vulnerable. PStouch, Google+, my VPN app and xbmc all have openssl too, but supposedly safe.

texts: How to watch photo sphere taken on another device offline on android?

texts:
Short

I have taken several photo spheres on my old Nexus 5.

Now I have migrated to the new Nexus 5x, how can I watch the photo spheres offline?

Detail

Since the mobile internet is really limited (something like 2 gigs per month if you're lucky, my private account has 500 megs) I don't want to use a large part of this contingent just for viewing one single sphere. And W-Lan isn't always available.

Furthermore: The downloading time is really annoying, it takes so long even with a fast (100 mbit) internet connection via wlan - I'd like to zap through the spheres just like I did on my old Nexus 5.

I only use google's own "Photos" App and google's cardboard app for viewing a photo sphere.
They don't seem to chache anything, as soon as I switch off wlan and mobile data spheres that I have just opened a moment ago using wlan are not available.

I found no matching entry in the preferences of the "Photos" App and the "Help and Support" pages are just as helpful. This is getting really frustrating and I'm starting to wonder how stupid an app can be :-(

There is an option to "Download" the spheres but all that this would give me is a plane image.

My Motivation

Actually I'd like to show my family these spheres using the pretty decent card board vr :)


texts: Many apps crashing on phone after Google app disabled and re-enabled

texts:
The Google app was taking up half a gigabyte of storage even though I never use it, so I cleared its data and disabled it. After I did this, Gmail and Outlook crashed, so I re-enabled the main Google app. Gmail and Outlook were still failing, however.
Since the main Google app was now an earlier version, I thought maybe I should update it. Although I can open the main Google app, it crashes as soon as I switch to the "Update" tab, so that's not an option. I also tried clearing my Gmail and Outlook data to see if that would help, as well as disabling and re-enabling Gmail, but neither had any effect.
I've also cleared all data from Google Play Services and restarted my phone to no avail. If I try to visit Google settings from the Settings app, then the Settings app freezes. What can I do to make these apps operable again? Note that not all Google apps are afflicted. For example, I can still use Drive, YouTube, and the Play Store.
For a little more detail, the Gmail is receiving data. I can see new messages for the half-second that the app is open before  it crashes. If I try to send a crash report, the crash-report-sending services crashes too.
I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge running Android 8.0.0.
EDIT:
Previously I wrote of only a few apps that have crashed. As I have tried to use more, I have found that apps unrelated to Google have crashed -Stack Exchange being one of them, as well as an open source reader app (that wasn't even installed through the Play Store, it was installed through F-Droid), a game, and the built-in Samsung text messenger app.
In recent verbal conversation, someone suggested that I may have unintentionally deleted a security token, and that is causing the widespread malfunctions. However, he does not know how to get a new one if that is the case, and of course neither do I.
EDIT 2:
In the early afternoon today, about 24 hours after the initial problem, the main Google app managed to update itself without any intervention from me and everything came back online. Perhaps there is a 24-hour check for updates that Google performs for built-in apps automatically outside.of the app store. In any case, once this occurred, the other apps which had been compromised began to function as well, so now everything is back to normal.

I recently purchased a 2018 Pacifica Hybrid with the U-Connect Theater system. This system allows mirror casting with compatible Android Devices. Miracast is available on my LG G Pad, but it can't see the car's WIFI network.

After some trial and error I realized that the on-car WIFI only puts out a 5.0GHz signal, and not a 2.4GHz.

I have a LG G Pad F7.0 that according to the specs is 802.11 b/g/n, so I should be able to access the 5.0GHz frequency. I've done some tests with various WIFI apps and it seems my unit can only see the 2.4GHz frequency currently.

In searching online I found that there should be a setting for WIFI which allows you to manually select 2.4 or 5.0, but my unit doesn't have this option in the menu. I am wondering if that has something to do with with the version of Lollipop installed?

So I guess my question is two-fold: Is there a way to enable 5.0GHz visibility with the 5.0.1 version my LG G Pad is running?

If not, would I be able to change android versions to see this frequency? Any recommendations/guidance here would help if this is my best bet.

texts:
I pickup up a Motorola Triumph (running Froyo) for Virgin Mobile a couple weeks ago.  I like the thing, but I just don't understand Android's sound management.  Let me explain:

Setting SilentMode turns off ringer, but not Media or Alarms.  While this is annoying in and of itself, it also disables the volumn control in the Settings, meaning I can't change the Media volume before something using the Media volume is actually playing!
Occasionally, the media volume will be waaaaay loud, even though it's only one click away from off.  Furthermore, changing the Ringer volume will then set the Media volumn to a lower level - changing some sort of multiplier, perhaps?  I notice this mostly when using Pandora (it can change volume between songs, and I'll have to go nudge the Ringer volume again to get it to quiet down).

Is there any way to fix these issues?  Make SilentMode silence Media as well as Ringer, AND still allow me to change the Alarm volume?  Or simple make SilentMode ACTUALLY silent?

Thanks in advance for your help!

texts: S8+ stock always on display not showing notifications

texts:
I recently got myself an S8+ running Android 7.0.

One of the most (arguably) shallow reasons for getting this nice new phone was for the always on display it offered, where it would show the clock, your battery and the date.

It also promised to show me my notifications, and for about a week or two, that's exactly what it did.

It would show everything, from missed calls, to applications from the store, to weather updates. It showed every notification I had from any application without doubt or question. And I loved it.

Recently however it's just stopped. It doesn't show anything except the time, the battery and the date. No notifications. No missed calls. No new texts. No nothing.

I have my always on display checked as "on", run a default theme that came with the phone (although I have tried others). I have it set to show "Home button and clock or information" (which is the default) and have "Show always" on too.

I'm not that much of a power-user and I haven't tampered with the phone's services or anything, so I don't really know what else I can tell you about the problem. If I'm leaving out some key information please tell me.

How can I go about bringing my notifications back to the always on display?

The only thing that is not an option is resetting the phone.

I am using TeamViewer for Android to remotely control my computer and it works great, but I recently noticed it uses up a LOT of bandwidth, even in Optimize Speed mode. I have a limited 3G plan and I would like to reduce TeamViewer's bandwidth consumption as much as possible, at the expense of image quality. For example, I would have no problem with going to grayscale, or 256-color mode, but this option is not available on the android client, as far as I can tell.

Is there any way to optimize the bandwidth consumption of TeamViewer for Android, beyond choosing the Optimize Speed quality setting? If not, is there any other remote desktop client for android that you can recommend which does a better job that TeamViewer in this category?

texts: How to copy Unity Game (SpaceFlight Simulator) from Galaxy S6 Edge to S9?

texts:
I have been looking for a way to transfer game progress of Space Flight Simulator (made by Unity) from a Galaxy S6 Edge to a new Galaxy S9. Please note that /data/data/ directory does not exist on both devices, there is no PlayerPrefs folder, I can't root the S9 as it's still new and under warranty (so can't use TitaniumBackup) and the game isn't connected to an online server (no Google Play Account). I copied whatever files related to the game I found on the S6 Edge (all under Internal storage/Android/data/) to the S9 but it didn't work. I have also tried Helium Sync and Backup (free version) but it seems that it creates backups to be restored on the same device, not a different one.

I have been looking for a way for about 2 weeks now, but haven't found naything. The game developer isn't sure where saved data is stored on the S6. I have also looked in this forum and couldn't find anything useful. Is there any way that doesn't involve writing code (I'm not a programmer), rooting any of the devices or buying paid apps?

Any help is much appreciated!

texts: Tethering a "reversed tethered" data from a pc?

texts:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S 4G mini (GT-I8190) and I know I have the hotspot feature built-in which transforms my phone into a modem. I have used it plenty of times to tether my phone to other devices (tablet, laptop, etc).

I have discovered recently that it is possible to do a Reverse Tethering and plug the phone to the computer via the USB and get data running on the phone from the PC.

Now, I am interested to combine the two - in order to transform my phone into a real router. I tried to enable the hotspot while getting data from the PC. The phone has access to the internet. And my tablet was able to join the hotspot Wi-Fi network - but it has no network access.

Can anyone shed some light on:

How USB-tunneling works as far as transmitting the data from the
PC? All I know is that it forwards data from a certain port on the
PC. I tried to find an "open code source" for the USB Tunneling app but could not. I wanted to have a look on how they manage the data.
How does the built-in hotspot feature functions? Does it only forwards the Mobile Data to the Wi-Fi? Can anyone share/direct me where to find an open code source for a  tethering app? (the built-in hotspot works perfectly - but all downloaded tethering apps fail to run on my I8190).
I tried to find a tutorial, app, or anything that can explain on how to Wi-Fi tether a Reversed Tethered data without great success. Can anyone help?


texts:
On my Atrix running 2.3.6, there is a permanent icon in my notification bar saying that I have unread voicemail. I understand that this icon is flagged on the SIM card itself: sure enough, if I pop the SIM card into another phone, the icon shows up there too.

How do I get rid of it? I've tried every suggestion on Google, which amounts to leaving myself a message and then deleting it, or calling customer service. The only kosher method of getting rid of it is to have my carrier send me the special SMS that clears the icon, which is normally sent when you listen to your messages (but it's not happening for me). Customer service reps seem to have no idea what this means so I can't get them to manually send that SMS. For what it's worth, I'm on Rogers in Canada (but my Atrix is running the AT&T build of Android).

Some versions of Android allegedly have a "Clear voicemail indicator" setting, but I have no such thing.

If it's possible through executing code on the Android, then:

Has someone written an app to clear it from the SIM card? I can't find anything, but I can't imagine something like that would be allowed on the market since it would use hidden libraries.
Does anyone have experience writing apps that use hidden libraries and can point me in the right direction? I've been able to follow tutorials that set up an Eclipse environment  for compiling apps that use hidden libraries, I just have no idea where to start with the SIM card stuff.

If not, then do I just have to live with it?

EDIT: Using standard carrier voicemail, not Google Voice.

texts:
Let's say I have a fixed line phone, say 2xxxxxxx1. I have set this phone to forward all calls to my Moto G, say 9xxxxxxxx2. Now whenever I receive a call that was forwarded, I see two numbers in the caller Id. Say the original caller was 9xxxxxxxx3, then I see the caller id as 9xxxxxxxx32xxxxxxx1, i.e. the actual caller's number, appended by the number that forwarded the call to me.

I understand this can be a great feature to know the actual caller and the forwarder. But, it does not go well with the contacts and apps like True Caller. Also It becomes a pain to quickly save the received call to contacts.

Is there a way I could completely get rid of the forwarder's details from the caller id? Does it happen on all android phones? Is it specific to Moto G, or the OS it is running? Can it be carrier specific? Does anybody know an app that could override the default phone app and provides what I want?

PS: I am having a Moto G Dual Sim in India, running one SIM on Loop carrier, same issue when I tried a Tata carrier. The fixed land line that forwards to my Moto G is run by MTNL

So I had an Android phone stolen - nearly two years ago now. When it was taken, I immediately reset my Google account password (and most others). I have 2-factor auth on my Google account. I have changed my password multiple times since then too.

I can't remove the device from my account - it is deselected in Google Play Devices. It also does not show up in Android Device Manager (and never has from the moment it was stolen) - even when I enable it again in Google Play Devices.

For a project I am sniffing bluetooth communication between an embedded device and my android phone. To make this work I enabled the Bluetooth HCI Snoop log option on my Android phone in developer options. The bluetooth used is Bluetooth LE (Bluetooth Smart)

The embedded device communicates through bluetooth with an app installed on my Android device. Opening the created log file with Wireshark I found some interesting results. I compared my results to that of an example bluetooth capture file and noticed that about half of communication is not present in my capture log.

In my capture log there is no PIN code request/reply, no connection events (only disconnect), no link key messages and no SDP or L2CAP protocol usage.

I don't understand why I am getting these strange results and I  wonder if the entire bluetooth connection and communication process between embedded and android device (including the app) is not captured

On Oreo, the only way to do this seems to be to change the system language to English(Australia).

Possible Duplicate:
  What is the difference between: Rooting, Jailbreak, ROM, Mod, etc.?

I'd love a reference (or an explanation if anyone has the time) on what characterizes these different concepts, in what order they start and what role they play. I think I'm fairly certain of kernel and ROM, but the lines are a bit blurry when it comes to the bootloader and the recovery. Basically I have about ten questions related to this, but I think it would be best if there's just some pedagogical article somewhere that lays it all out :)

All the results I've found on Google basically explain it as "when you choose boot into recovery it boots into CWM if that's installed" and that doesn't really help me to understand the purpose of the different parts and how they work.

Thanks in advance!

edit Some questions I feel wasn't answered in the linked thread:

1) The difference between bootloader and recovery

2) CM states that improper ROM flashing can brick a device, how? Shouldn't recovery be left intact?

3) Can you install a custom recovery (CWM) without unlocking bootloader on any device?

4) Is fastboot the same as recovery?

5) What component is "responsible" for the SIM lock? Why doesn't it go away completely if that part is removed?

Thanks in advance for your patience :)

texts: What is Marshmallow encryption protecting?

texts:
I installed CM 13.0 onto a Nexus 6, which includes Android 6.0.1, and I have set a PIN. The Settings UI reports that my phone is encrypted.

However, my phone is able to boot all the way to the lock screen without entering my PIN. This seems to imply that only /data is encrypted. I was expecting that I would have to enter a PIN at boot time, the way I did with Ice Cream Sandwich and Lollipop. Furthermore, when I go to TWRP, I can see all my files without ever entering a PIN.

My understanding was that Marshmallow required full disk encryption, and that full disk encryption would require a PIN at boot time to decrypt anything useful.

What did I misunderstand here? If someone stole my phone and didn't know my PIN, what would they have access to?

I got a used LG K4 off eBay and I'm looking to flash a Marshmallow ROM. I tried downloading the SuperSu ZIP file and booting into recovery, but the only option was factory reset.

Is there a good way to manually unlock the bootloader? I have a raspberry pi 3 and my mother has a Windows 10 laptop, so either can work. Thanks!

My question is, how is this Voice Dialler app opening and how can I disable it? I haven't installed any third party app so I presume it's a part of Google Now, or some Motorola app that came with the phone...?

I haven't been able to get a screenshot, but the app opens and a voice prompts me to say a name or phone number to dial.. Very annoying as it cuts off Spotify and I have to unlock the phone and hit the play button again.

I am looking for more detail information regarding the process mentioned here:

1 https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2058944

2 https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2307355

(1) says that selecting "apply zip from sdcard" in the recovery screen will run the script and perform the mentioned commands. I suppose at this point there is no concept of  android OS's root user? Is this correct? Am I allowed full access to all the files and folders in the sdcard and phone memory at this point?

The script in (1) also mentions BusyBox. I know there is an app called busybox which provides some tools, but since the android OS has not loaded up to this point, I guess the busybox in the script represents something else? Wikipedia says busybox is an old set of linux tools, so does this mean it is present by default in all android phone firmware?

The zip file containing the script in (2) contains a file called "busybox" in the zip file root (no extension, binary file) and the one in (1) doesn't. What does this mean? (1) and (2) seem to be for different phone models, but shouldn't all phones have the run_program() and delete() commands mentioned in those scripts? Would these scripts work on a different phone model? How much chance is there of the phone getting bricked? (I have stock firmware + Odin for my test phone and I am ready to format and reinstall if needed, I just want to know if there is a possibility of bricking it so badly that even Odin wouldn't recognize it)

Regardless of whether I am able to mount the sdcard/phone memory and run programs on the sdcard or not, I suppose the commands in the script such as ui_print() should work on any phone. Where can I find more commands that can be used in such a script file, and more details on how such scripts actually work? The answer can be limited to samsung phones if there are no general answers.

texts:
My Android 4.2 phone only has an option Erase SD card under System Settings, but not an option to format.

My card has read errors on some files I want to fully format it to check if it's just a case of logical disk errors (those would go away) or if it's hardware and I should replace it.

I did try this (what's to lose?) and it said Checking SD card and was done in a few seconds; that's what makes me ask the question.

Would plugging it into my Windows computer and formatting it there be better? Or running chkdsk?

I know that there is not really an old-fashioned formatting going on on SSD devices, but I want all card logical sectors to be scanned (read) for errors. Will 'erase' do that?

texts: Do widgets run if not on current home screen?

texts:
I have the EA daily deals widget installed on my second home screen. The widget is basically a rotating banner of deals in the Play store. Since it is constantly rotating the displayed banner I assume that it is draining more battery than a static widget (it also doesn't have any options for rotation or network updates).

My question is, are widgets suspended when they are not being displayed i.e. when I am on the first or third home screen? Or, does it depend on the implementation?

texts: What file systems can I use for a 128GB sdcard on Android 7.1, used as portable storage

texts:
I can't find an answer to this on StackExchange. I have a phone running beta LineageOS 14.1 (Android 7.1), and a 128GB SDXC card which I want to use as portable/shared storage between devices.

I know that the built in Settings -> Storage -> "format SDcard" chooses a default file system (FAT32 with large clusters or exFAT?), but if I wanted to, could I manually format the card via Terminal to use a proper journalling file system for better data safety?

If so, what file systems could I use and what would the appropriate commands be? Would there be any other benefits or disadvantages? Would it still be portable or would I have to do something to stop ACLs/permissions being set up by default that would prevent it being swapped to other devices?

Update

Regarding comments below, it sounds like more context would help.

I'm not looking at NTFS/apple NFS as other file systems. My main "other devices" for portability would be other Android 5.1+ devices and Windows 8.1/10 (via microSD USB adapter). I'm comfortable that Windows would need an ext2/3/4/other driver or to host a Linux VM in order to read or write a microSD card that isn't in FAT* format. (I'm much more comfortable about adding ext* handling to a Windows machine than to add NTFS capability to Android, and its also simpler and less likely to give me problems because Windows would only need to access it for file management/copying, not via multiple apps of various generations on Android)

The point underlying the question is that portable storage uses FAT32/exFAT by default, without offering alternatives, and these don't have any especial data integrity provisions such as journalling, that would be integral to (and included by) several other file systems.

So its a natural question whether, by using a different file system from the default - which would of course require manual formatting and perhaps manual permissions setup - I can get the effect of universal read/writeability and portability (as with FAT*), but also gain in addition, enhanced integrity via journalling in case of crash or other data issue, which FAT* doesn't provide.

texts:
About two months ago (just over 60 days so they are no longer in Trash), I manually deleted thousands of photos off my Google Photos account due a problem I had with duplicate files. I had a back up of all the photos on SD cards which I needed to clear. I moved the photos to an external hard drive. Later, I discovered that Windows had somehow decided to not copy about 1600 of the files.

The only trace I have left of the missing photos are the cached images on Google Photos on a broken android phone (LG G3) which I've turned on without any access to the internet. Even if they are low quality, I am desperate to recover these photos. Does anyone know how to access the cached photos (or thumb nails) of Google Photos?

My plan, if I can access them, is to create a wifi hotspot with another android phone without access to the internet and use something like airdroid to move the images to a computer. I could also maybe put an SD card back in the phone and move the files there instead?

The phone is not rooted. I've looked around using the file manager but have not been able to locate them. Does anyone have any suggestions?

texts: My Moto 4G is caching everything. Is it a normal behavior?

texts:
I bought a Moto 4G few days ago and I feel like it has a strange behaviour.
My problem is that the phone is not handling multitasking as I would expect it to.

Some examples:

I use Chrome as web browser. Each time I switch between tabs, the tabs are refreshed.
So if I am writing something in a form and need to check something in a other tab, then when I'll come back to the form the text I typed is lost with the refresh.
I have the same problem with forms inside apps. I wanted to sell something using a classified ads app. And I experienced the same. I switched on chrome to check the spec.
When I switched back to my ad, the app completely restarted!
I don't play often but I tried to see what the phone is capable of. I tried with Plants VS Zombies. And it is the same. If I switched back and forth the game will restart.

To sum up, I feel like the multitasking on my Moto G is only remembering the list of apps in use and restart them when needed!

I read that this may be due to a lack of RAM (the Moto G has 1Go of RAM). But I never experienced that with an old Galaxy S with Cyanogen ICS (512Mo RAM), nor with a more recent Nexus 4 with KitKat or older releases (2Go of RAM).

So I just made few tests:

The classified ads app + chrome with with one tab + the task manager => no problem when switching (and the phone has ~300Mo of free RAM)
The classified ads app + chrome with with two tabs + the task manager => apps are cached and refreshed if needed (and the phone has ~300Mo of free RAM)
A game + the classified ads app + chrome with with two tabs + the task manager => apps are cached and refreshed if needed (and the phone still has ~300Mo of free RAM!!!)

I feel like the hardware of the Moto G is exactly what I need.
So do you think that this behaviour is due to a specific issue of my Moto 4G or it will be the same with any other one.
At the moment I think the problem comes from Android. But since the phone is praised everywhere on the internet I don't understand.

I feel like Google completely screwed up their last release of android (It is another problem but they probably destroyed the battery of my Nexus 4 with Kitkat).
I can't understand why a phone like this shouldn't be capable of real multitasking.
Depending on your answers I'll sent back my Moto 4G or not!

Thank you for your help.

texts: Outlook keeps asking for login credentials during setup

texts:
I'm trying to switch from a windows mobile to android. My main problem is moving contacts which are saved on windows mobile in an outlook account.

Therefore i tried to download and configure outlook on Android, but have no luck on entering the user credentials.

The following happens:

I enter the email (which does NOT end in '@outlook.com', i used a normal mail address to sign in at outlook which works with outlook on windows 10, windows mobile and web).
I enter the password.
After entering the password the outlook app authenticates on android and gives a message, that the server configuration is updated, and i need to re-enter password.
I reenter the password.
I'm asked if the application is allowed to access outlook and answer yes.
Password question step 2 appears. From this moment step 2-5 are endless loops.

What i've tried so far:

Delete the app cache
Delete the app, reinstall it from play store

Both did not work, same behaviour as before occurred.

I have tried to enter another outlook account ending with outlook.com - only one time password was needed and everything works - but as this is not the account with contacts it is not so useful.

So how can i enter my main outlook address to outlook? Or is there another way to get windows phone contacts to android?

texts: How to install Cynogenmod on a Galaxy S w/ Android 2.1

texts:
I got a Galaxy S today. It shows a "Firmware version 2.1-update1", which I suppose is Android 2.1.1. I want to install an up-to-date Android version on it, so I thought I'd turn to Cyanogenmod. I have never done this. (In fact, I am still at the state where I am a bit hazy about what terms as "rooting", "flashing" etc. exactly apply to.)

I have found this step-by-step guide to install Cyanogenmod on a Galaxy S and tried to follow it, but I failed miserably. I got as far as #5, where I would put the ClockworkMod recovery file onto the phone, but there
heimdall flash --kernel zImage --no-reboot
gives me a
Initialising connection...
Detecting device...
Claiming interface...
ERROR: Claiming interface failed!

I have put several hours into this, but now I am stumped for good. I used to get failed to detect compatible device when I started this. After lots of searching the web, installed Samsung's Kies software, because it is supposed to allow the phone to be updated to Android 2.2, which some guides seem to presume as a starting point. However, I was unable to get Kies to even recognize the device. But its installation seems to have gotten me past Heimdall's error. At other places, however, I have found statements saying that one should uninstall Kies in order to get Heimdall working...

So what did I do wrong? How am I to proceed? What should I try next?

texts: How to mount two USB drives from same device on Android?

texts:
I'm wondering how I can mount two USB drives from a USB device on Android.

I have a Garmin Oregon GPS device with a USB port. When I connect it to a Windows PC, I get two drives: one for the internal memory and one for the removable SD card. When I connect it to an Android tablet (Asus TF700T, running Android 4.2.1) I get only one drive 'USBdisk1' which represents the internal memory. How can I mount the second drive?

I suspect that both drives are properly detected by Android, but just the first one is mounted. I conclude this because when I attach it again to the PC, both drives have a new LOST.DIR folder created by Android. Btw, the filesystems are FAT and FAT32, so that shouldn't be a problem.

On my rooted Asus pad, I tried modifying /etc/vfold.fstab from:

dev_mount usbdisk1 /Removable/USBdisk1 auto /devices/platform/tegra-ehci.2/usb1/1-1/1-1.2 /devices/platform/tegra-ehci.2/usb2/2-1/2-1.2 /devices/platform/tegra-ehci.1/usb1/1-1 /devices/platform/tegra-ehci.0

To:

dev_mount usbdisk1 /Removable/USBdisk1 1 /devices/platform/tegra-ehci.2/usb1/1-1/1-1.2 /devices/platform/tegra-ehci.2/usb2/2-1/2-1.2 /devices/platform/tegra-ehci.1/usb1/1-1 /devices/platform/tegra-ehci.0
dev_mount usbdisk2 /Removable/USBdisk2 2 /devices/platform/tegra-ehci.2/usb1/1-1/1-1.2 /devices/platform/tegra-ehci.2/usb2/2-1/2-1.2 /devices/platform/tegra-ehci.1/usb1/1-1 /devices/platform/tegra-ehci.0

...this was just "try and error" and it ended with a severe error :)

I got this keyboard from China that has holder for a phone, but has USB-micro cable.
My phone (Huawei P20 lite) has USB-C, but that's not an issue, since I got usb-micro to usb-C converter. I tried to connect the keyboard through 3 different usb-micro to usb-C converters, but in any case the keyboard didn't work.

A friend of mine tried on Samsung S5(usb-micro) and S9(usb-c) aswell, using another 3 different usb-micro to usb-c converters. It worked well on S5 (usb-micro) but didn't work anyhow on S9(usb-c).

Tried aswell as downloading Swift keyboard (just in case it has any features) and
go to Settings > Language > Default keyboard > Input settings, but there was no options whatsoever.

I can't figure out what could possibly go wrong, while it's totally functionally working on all usb-micro devices and never on usb-c.

How to solve this problem, what to do about this?

The app is one of those applications that keeps the screen on and doesn't permit it to turn off. It's killing the battery and I shouldn't have to simply manually turn the screen off constantly. Every other app simply lets the screen turn off once I stop interacting with it like a good app should.

Hence my question: Is there any setting/app/widget/button/magic wand of any kind that will let me block this application from keeping the screen on. There has to be some kind of permission I can revoke to stop it from doing this.

The phone is rooted.

I have a Nexus 5X running an unofficial Pie build (https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/development/rom-android-source-project-t3827122)

PS: The phone supports VoLTE, I've used it before, but this particular ROM doesn't.

I'm looking for a way to disable VoLTE so that the app can work.

texts:
I am able to log wifi probe request with script like hoover, probeSniffer, and my favorite for the moment probemon on my ubuntu machine with a card able to run in monitor mode.

Is it possible to do the same on android ? a rooted android is not a problem.

But I guess one major problem would be to be able to switch the wifi card in monitor mode, if it is possible at all, depending on the driver.

Is there even script or software or app to be able to log the wifi probe request ?

At the very least, one can try to use the script I mention above but there are not meant to be run on android.

My question is perhaps too general. I use a moto G 4G (XT1039) with LineageOS 14.1 (peregrine)


texts: Huawei Ascend G630 shows on the display: "Recovery image verify failed"

texts:
I've spent much time reading up on my issue with no progress at all.
I have a problem with a Huawei Ascend G630.

I have never rooting my phone or flashing a custom rom. The phone does not work, I can’t reset it by pressing volume up, down and power, and only when it’s on charge, it shows the message:

"Recovery image verify failed
Please update to the authorized images”.

I removed the battery, then, I tried getting it into the recovery mode to reset It or even flash its stock firmware following this instruction to solve it:

1)  I downloaded HUAWEI G630 Firmware from here:
http://consumer.huawei.com/kh/mobile-phones/support/downloads/detail/ascend-g630-kh.htm?id=26062

2)  I extracted Huawei Smartphone firmware (UPDATE.APP) on my PC and then I have pasted it on micro SD card.

The process doesn’t start and the phone returns to the first message
“Recovery image verify failed”.

I think that bootloader is locked.

I enclosed a picture.

Please help me.
Thanks.


texts: How to get the data about which Android devices have certain vulnerabilities?

texts:
I am doing security research on Android devices.

However, I do not know which Android devices have which vulnerabilities.

For example, CVE-2013-2597 and CVE-2013-6123 work only on specific Qualcomm chipsets. If I want to buy a device for testing, I do not know which one to buy.

Is there any data available on this kind of mapping or statistics?


texts: Text bubble randomly changing color on Galaxy S6's stock Messaging app on Android 6.0

texts:
I have a Galaxy S6 through Sprint and just upgraded to Android 6.0. Since the OS upgrade, my text messages have been seemingly randomly changing color. The text is always the same color, but the background of the bubble will change (yellow background on my messages, white background on incoming messages).

I thought initially the color change was caused by message status - sending, sent, received, etc. This does not seem to be the case, as once one turns yellow or white, it stays yellow or white.

I also thought that the colors corresponded to messages that I or my texting partner had not responded to (I sent 2 in row to her 1 incoming or vice versa).  This also does not seem to be the case, as I have been able to send multiple in a row without the color changing.

Do you know what the different background colors signify and how to turn them off?
