texts: Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 drops home wifi connection and and can't reconnect unless the router is turned off and back on.

texts:
My girlfriend has had her Tab 2 for ten months and only recently it has this problem. She will be using the tablet on the internet and the connection will suddenly drop. The signal is strong and the tablet detects the signal. It will try to connect for 10 or 15 minutes until it says it can't verify the ip address or something like that. Turning off and on the tablet doesn't work, neither does forgetting the network and reentering the name and password.
Turning the router off for ten seconds and restarting it does work. Laptops and playstation do not have issues with the wifi. Restarting the router is a solution except this occurs daily. I am wondering if the source of the problem is low internal memory. There are a ton of images because she takes a lot of screenshots.


texts: Only get sound notifications from contacts and certain apps

texts:
I get a lot of annoying spam calls and texts. I want my phone to only give me a sound notification when someone from my contacts list calls or texts me. So I turned on the Do Not Disturb mode, and selected the priories, so that I only get notifications from my contacts.
The problem with this, is that now none of my apps give me notifications. I still want to get notifications from certain apps, like Skype for instance. So I clicked on the app notifications, to select the apps that I want to override the do not disturb. But I am only given a few odd app choices, not all of my apps. (See photo) But if I turn off do not disturb, I get spam calls and texts all day, which is pretty annoying.
Can anyone help me figure out how I can get sound notifications from my contacts only (Call and Text), but still get other app notifications?
I appreciate anyone's help. Thanks!

I want to upgrade my Android version 2.3 to the newest firmware version. I am using Odin v3.04 but when I put file into the PDA section and turned the phone into download mode and started the upgrade process it FAILED. I then tried to reconnect my USB and try again, but now it hangs on SetupConnection:

<ID:0/006> File analysis..
<ID:0/006> SetupConnection..

It also doesn't turn on in download mode. When I turn the phone on it immediately goes to screen with a yellow triangle and computer and will not do anything else.

What can I do to fix this?

texts: Prevent autocomplete of addresses from gmail in android email application

texts:
I use my Galaxy S3 for both work and personal email messaging. I use gmail for personal and the stock email application, synced to Microsoft Exchange, for work email.

However, when I compose an email in the stock email application, it sometimes autocompletes with an address from gmail.  This is very irritating (and has resulted in some mis-sent emails), and I want to disable it entirely. I do not want to see ANY addresses from my "Gmail Contacts" in the stock email app. I only want to see suggested emails from my Exchange contacts. Possible?

Also, in the meantime I have enabled the "delayed send" feature to remind myself to check email addresses before sending.

Marketplace - Where can you get books?

texts: Manage file type or application defaults in Android 8

texts:
I am using Solid File Explorer to browse my files. Each time I tap an image, it is opened in Google's Photos. I would like to know where this relation is defined in my Android 8.0 and how can I change it (i.e. should I modify  defaults of Solid File Explorer or Google Photos or both)?

I am asking, because both applications defaults' settings doesn't suggest such relation exists:

I.e. Solid File Explorer doesn't open anything by default and Photos opens only some links and no file types. And the "Clear defaults" button is disabled in both cases. So, I am a little bit stumbled on how does my Android 8.0 know that it should open images in Photos and how can I change it.

Both questions that I've read so far (this and this) are seven years old and covers a very old version of Android. So brings no help here.

I am wondering if anyone else has this problem and if they know how to fix it?

Also, is there a way for me to remove ki from Swype's internal dictionary so it'll never attempt to write it? It might be useful to modify that dictionary for other reasons too, so I can add personal names, local street names, etc.

texts: Can ROM APKs self-update without violating Google Play policies?

texts:
Last year Facebook's hands were slapped by Google for updating their APK outside of the Google Play update process. Google then introduced language in their Developer Program Policies.

  An app downloaded from Google Play may not modify,
  replace or update its own APK binary code using any
  method other than Google Play’s update mechanism.

How is this to be interpreted across two cases?...

Is making the APK available for download for those that do not want to enable a Google account on the device a violation of this policy?
If an APK ships with the ROM, is it considered an "app downloaded from Google Play"? Can such an app be eligible for updating through other means? Can such an app update itself? In other words, are APKs originating from a ROM exempt?


texts: ADB restore: how do I restore the entire backup?

texts:
Before flashing a custom ROM to my Nexus 5, I made a backup of system, data and cache using adb backup --twrp; this gave me a 17GB backup.ab file.

Updating partition details...
...done
Full SELinux support is present.
Wiping System

It completed way too fast to have transferred all 17GB back. How do I get it to restore the entire backup?

texts: What is causing my audio playback to slow down?

texts:
I frequently play long playlists on my Nexus 9 tablet, while it sits unused in any other way. Since updating to Marshmallow, the audio suddenly slows down to (at a guess) 50% normal speed after 90 to 120 minutes of playback. The audio file needs to be stopped and restarted to restore normal speed.

What I tried:

My first thought was that Marshmallow's new energy conservation system, Doze, was likely to blame. Disabling it for the media player* made no difference, nor did
playing files stored locally or on the LAN or
using a wide variety of other media players.

As this behaviour only started after updating from Lollipop to Marshmallow, I still suspect Doze is somewhere at the root of this. That said, Google produced no obvious mention of anyone else running into this issue and it seems unlikely no one else would have bumped into this.

The tablet is not rooted and both the original Lollipop and the current Marshmallow were auto-updated from Google.

Whenever I come across a page with an embedded YouTube video and press play then the sound will be heard but the video will be blank (a black screen).

This problem occurs in Chrome, but also in any apps where the browser has been embedded (eg. Feedly and Facebook).

The aftermarket ROM I use seems to have the language list parred down to just a couple selections, probably to save space.

I would like to add a language back into the system. I can already set the locale using programs such as MoreLocale 2 so that applications with my language support start with the right locale code, however that doesn't add missing system languages. Having the system in another language would be nice, but the main thing is getting the dictionary files for the keyboard auto-complete. How does one go about adding the language support files for an input language to a system or ROM?

I can access other ROM's or the AOSP project to rip things out, but I don't know where to start. What files do I need and what modifications need to be made? Is there an easy way to do this with say a language-pack or is it hackery all the way?

My ROM is fully rooted and I have adb access if necessary. It's Android 2.3.7 (Unofficial CM 7.1 port for Dream/Sapphire) and I'm using the stock Android keyboard. The language I want is Turkish, although unless somebody has a download to point me to it's mostly the process I'm looking for here.

texts:
I have a Nexus 7 (Android 4.1.1) and I want to add a CA (Certificate Authority) to my device to use it for the ssl-connection to my mail server. The CA is self-signed. The Certificate does only contain the public key of the CA (of course!).

I also want to keep my screenlock disabled because on a tablet not leaving my house it does not make sense to have a screen lock.

Now the problem arises: Whenever I want to import the CA, Android wants me to change my screenlock to digits/password which I want to avoid.

Can this behaviour somehow be prevented? There is nothing security critical at a public key of a CA.

I know that when the phone is rooted one can add a CA, but I want to avoid rooting my phone.

Audio accessory mode at least on paper seems like a complete no brainer since it means the adapters are cheaper because they don't need to have their own dac.

This is really annoying, especially now when many people start using telegram.

texts: Simplest way to transfer files from PC to Android device (wireless)

texts:
What's the simplest way to transfer files (often around 100 MB) from PC to Android device, with wireless connexion ?

Should I use an application for this?

Remark 1 : I want to set "wifi=off" after the file transfer is done, because I never use it except for the file transfer. Moreover I really would like to do a direct transfer PC -> Android device ; no Dropbox or similar tool.

Remark 2 : I have a Samsung Galaxy 3.6 Player YP-GS1CB (limited to Android 2.x as far as I know)

Remark 3 : If possible, I would like to be able to see the Android device's microSD card filesystem from computer, access to subdirectories, copy files there, etc.    Would a FTP server on the Android device be a good way to do it ? If so, with which app?


texts:
I have got the phone of my sister in law. It is a LG Optimus L5  e610. While trying to flash CM it has been bricked. It is constantly rebooting after media scanning. It reboots even in the bootloader (CWM 6.2.8). The bootlaoder shows that the sdcard can't be mounted. The time the phone stays in android is to short to use adb.

The phone has been rooted using this guide. This guide has been used to flash CWM.

Well hence I can neither use adb to replace anything in the filesystem nor use the recovery to install a zip.

Is there any way to get this phone back working?

texts: How to turn off screen without affecting anything else?

texts:
When I press power button, it not just turns off the screen, but also locks the screen. I use WidgetLocker Lockscreen which is somewhat heavy. So, many apps stop working. For example, an in-app download is stopped after screen lock. The heavy foreground apps are unloaded from memory after screen lock.

When I need to run such apps for long, I make screen timeout period infinite. But, it consumes a lot of battery juice. So, I want to turn off screen and only screen. How to do this?

Please, don't suggest me to ditch WidgetLocker Lockscreen.

My device is Galaxy S which is rooted (ICS).


texts: Samsung GT-i9000 not detect USB connectivity in Windows 8

texts:
I bought a new windows 8 laptop and tried to install the phone driver to recognize it, but can't succeed: I installed and restared the Samsung driver package and restared my computer, I also tried to search through the device Manager on the web but it didn't find anything (which is strange because in Windows 7 it did find). I also have a Windows 7 laptop and it works there...

What Should I do?

found the solution!

First check if u have normal google adb drivers, if no then download them , put your device in usb debugging mode (this settings location depends upon your android OS version)

Go to Devices and printers in control panel -> go to properties of your device ( device should be connected) -> Change settings -> update driver -> Let me pick driver from my pc -> adb interface -> (it will give u list of adb drivers on ur machice) if you find any Samsung driver there click on it and click next or finish. Else choose google adb interface driver and finish.

Your device should be working properly with proper drivers installed :)

texts: Google Maps Location not working when offline

texts:
I have a Galaxy J7 Prime, android version 7.0. I'm abroad for a week and as such, am not using data. I can only use WiFi intermittently when I'm near a free hotspot.

When I had an iPhone, I was able to view my location even when offline. This was very useful for directions, as I could download an offline Google Map and figure out where I was. Now I can't seem to do that with my Android-- even with Location enabled, the location dot stubbornly stays gray (unless I connect to WiFi).

I've enabled Automatic date and time as suggested by this question. I have high accuracy turned on.

Is there no way to view my location offline in Android?


texts: How to know which applications are using "Recorder"

texts:
I've recently installed Automatic Call Recorder by Global effect on my phone which has almost 5 star rating and is working well for many people (as per the reviews).

But for me, it gets activated while an incoming or outgoing call is in process but at the end of the call gives an error message that it's unable to record as the recorder is used by some other app.

Firstly I do not have any other call recording app installed and Secondly, I have tried closing most of the active apps that I could. But still no luck.

Is there any way by which I can know which all apps are using the recording service of my phone and hence raising a conflict?

Thanks in advance!


texts: Why is Nexus 5 fail to connect Google Service?

texts:
I got my Nexus 5 two days ago.
So far everything was fine until one moment and without any apps I installed (until the day before) device hangs on connecting Orange (in NC).

What actually the problem:
The phone is not connecting in any way to Google Service, not through cellular and wifi   (Please note the connection of the wifi is used to a multitude of devices that serve me  and is completely works every time without any problems).

Things I've tried so far:
1. enter/exit flight mode.
2. turn off/turn on the device.
3. turn off/turn on the device in safe mode.
4. Stop the processes: "google play service", "google play store" and delete all of their cache memory.
5. Change the position of the clock time (I read somewhere that it might help).
6. Delete updates from google play (back to what came with the stock).
7. Delete the APN and restore it from 0.

Please note the device has rooted, If needed I will list exactly which applications got installed with root privilege.

Device version:
Kitkat 4.4.2 KOT49H

I have a Nexus One running Gingerbread (2.3.6), completely stock and unrooted. I would like to root my phone, and try installing ROMs like Cyanogen. However, as far as I know, the official way to do so, fastboot oem unlock, will wipe my phone, causing me to lose all of my data.

Is there any good way for me to root my phone without wiping, so that I can use something like Titanium Backup to back up all of my data before I unlock my bootloader and thus wipe my data?

If not, is there any good, automated way, to back up as much data as possible without root, and give me some indication of what could not be backed up? I don't want to have to go through every application and figure out if it has some way of exporting its data.

texts: Extracting firmware from a device for reflashing?

texts:
OK, so I have a Ubislate 7C+ tablet, and it's screwed up and the Wi-fi is unusable. See Tablet won't connect to any WiFi network anymore, always shows "saved" for details on the problem.

I've tried everything, and I've given up on it. But I'm sure it's a software issue. Factory reset didn't fix the issue either, so I guess the last resort is for me to re-flash my device with the original firmware. The problem here is that the manufacturers (Datawind) have HORRIBLE customer care, and they don't even have any software/driver/firmware downloads for any of their devices. (see petition)

So, since the stock firmware isn't available as a download... is there any way of extracting firmware from a device? I know someone with the exact same device as mine, and it's functioning perfectly. He could help me, but neither of us know any way of doing it. The idea is to basically "leech" the firmware from his device, and then re-flash my device using it. Of course, this whole thing may not even be possible, but I'm lost here.

Thanks.

EDIT: Ok, I just realised that a Nandroid backup would include all system data, and it's a complete system image, including the device firmware. The thing is, such a backup would be huge in size. Is there a way to specifically make a backup of just the firmware of the device or something?


texts: Why does my Android device slow down after successive ROM updates without wiping?

texts:
I have a 32 GB Verizon Galaxy Nexus (toro). I am running Cyanogenmod 10.1 ROM nightlies and I use CyanDelta Updater to stay up to date.

For a period of about 3 weeks, I updated to the latest nightly nearly every day using CyanDelta. Sometimes I'd download the full ROM instead of using CyanDelta. During this time, I never wiped the device (aka factory reset). I just applied the new release on top of the old.

Recently, my phone's performance degraded significantly. There were long delays unlocking, long delays switching apps, long delays doing just about everything. The phone would freeze up, and the OS would ask if I wanted to end a process because it wasn't responding. My podcatcher would stutter while playing.

Instead of switching to another ROM, I decided to first do a full wipe (factory reset). I used Titanium Backup to back up my user apps and data. In TeamWin Recovery, I did a factory reset, flashed the same CM 10.1 nightly I was running previously, restored my apps using Titanium, signed into accounts, etc.

My phone's performance has been completely restored. It's like night and day.

My question is: Why did that work?  What is it about applying successive ROM versions that could cause a slowdown that a wipe would fix?

I love my new level of performance, but I also enjoy keeping up with the latest releases. It would seem I can't have my jelly beans and eat them too. Now I'm reluctant to flash any updates without doing a full wipe.

texts: Need browser with websocket and full screen mode support

texts:
I need a browser that supports websocket and full screen mode and where I can set a default homepage.

The device that I am using is Rikomagic MK802 III. I am using a startup program to open a browser in full screen mode with a default URL when the machine is booted.

The default stock Android browser works fine, but does not support websocket. It also does not have a very good support for JavaScript.

Next, I tried with Chrome, Firefox and Opera. All of them support websocket and works fine. But none of them have a provision to set a default homepage and full screen also is not supported.

However I found an add-on in Firefox that supports full screen, but don't know how to make this a default behavior when the browser is opened. Setting default homepage is still a problem.

Please suggest me what option I am left with. Is there any workaround ?

texts:
When it comes to troubleshooting, I often read recommendations like "Use adb logcat to find some more details". Looking for a good way to backup all my apps including their data, Full Backup of non-rooted devices refers to adb backup and adb restore. In several places one can find ways to remotely do on an Android device with the use of ADB, such as transferring files using adb push or adb pull, accessing the command-line via adb shell, and more. So ADB seems to be a good thing to have for an Android user.

But how to get this "ADB thingy" on my computer? Not being a developer, installing the entire Android SDK seems a bit overkill. Is there a more minimalistic approach available?


texts: Barcode Scanner not working correctly on Galaxy S II

texts:
I got my Samsung GS II just recently and I was wondering if the problem I'm experiencing comes from my phone or is a common problem among GS II users.

Once I turn on the Barcode Scanner I'm able to scan QR codes correctly, but when I try to scan a barcode, it rarely works.

If I try to focus the bardcode for a couple of minutes it will work sometimes and scan the code. The camera seems to struggle to scan the barcode, from the looks of it.

Everything else on the phone is working fine so far so I doubt at first that it's an harware problem.

Does anyone know how to overcome this?

EDIT:

Barcode Scanner seems to be able to scan some barcodes if I can scan the code for about 30 seconds or more. This should be done almost instantly when the camera gets a clear vision of the barcode but it seems to take the phone quite some time to lock it down.

Any ideas people?

adb shell pm install /storage/self/primary/whatever.apk

They still don't go to the SD card.

Note that I'm talking about apps which support external storage, i.e. those I can move to the SD card from the settings menu.

texts: Fastboot Commands Via Update.zip To Unlock Pattern Lock on Asus Transformer FT201

texts:
I purchased an Asus Transformer Prime TF201 a couple years ago.  I added a pattern lock on this tablet so our kids would not use it all the time.  One of them decied to try the pattern too many times.  Now, it is stuck at the Too Many Pattern Attempts screen.  This has happened before and I was able to reset it by using my Google Account (wifi was on).  However, this time, I had to charge the device first before turning it on and discovered that it was in lock mode again!  I tried to get past the lock screen using Google credentials, but no go.

I am assuming the wifi turns off when the battery is drained.  And because wifi is off, it cannot authenticate using my Google Account.  I know my Google credentials and I also know the pattern, but I cannot use them!  I have pics and videos of our children that I do not want to loose.

I have been doing research for a few days now and it seems that if USB debugging was enabled, I could just run some adb commands (using the adb executable) and reset it to the point where I could try the pattern again.  But USB debugging is NOT enabled!

I am not sure this device is rooted??  I know that when I was using it, I was able to see all the directories (using the AndSMB app, but not sure if i was able to write to all dirs). It is a stock device with no mods.  It was upgraded to 4.1.1 (it was an update supplied from Asus).

Some good news: I am able to start the device in fastboot mode and it is detectable using the fastboot command tool (via Windows or Linux) while connected to supplied usb cable.

There is a tool called Android Script Creator (by Octanium) that can create an update zip file from custom commands.  I was able to create a zip file named Update.zip with the following commands..

ui_print("attempting to start wifi..");
run_program("svc", "wifi", "enable");
ui_print("done");

Questions

Am I on the right track?
Will the script I wrote work?
How do I run this update file I created?
Does the Update.zip file need to be flashed (or copied - what's the difference?) to an external SD card?
Can I use the fastboot tool to place this zip file on the internal memory and have it run?

Additional Info.. i found some links that may help.. but not sure what to do..

This link points to an article that describes how to use an update zip file, but it says to flash the CWM.  Is the CWM necessary to run an Update.zip file?

I have an old android tablet - Asus/Google Nexus 7 (2013) - which I would like to use with Touch Portal. The tablet was factory reset several years ago and has, I believe, the latest release of Android (6.0.1) that was officially released for it.
I've tried a couple of times to get signed in to my Google account on the device. It prompts me for my username and password and then appears to hang - currently over 24 hours as I write this.
I have a feeling that this is caused by 2 factor authentication which I have enabled on my account - the default of which is a security key, specifically a Yubico Yubikey 5 NFC.
I once saw a message about using a security key so I have attempted to use it via USB and NFC. When I tried this last time via NFC, I saw a new login in my Google Account at the same time but the screen still hangs.
I'm not prepared yet to disable 2 factor authentication (albeit temporarily) quite yet but may consider it if there really are no other options.

UPDATE Here's the confirmation that my Yubikey was used during the attempt to login despite nothing showing on screen prompting such action and nothing happening afterwards.


texts: How to check if somebody had done a data recovery on my phone?

texts:
So I recently lent my phone to my father. He broke its display and took it to a service center for repairs, all unbeknownst to me. I am kinda freaking out now because, only a few months ago, I had various nude photos of me and my girlfriend saved on its internal memory. Even though I deleted them before handing it over to my father, I am pretty sure they can be recovered using appropriate software. Is there anyway to check if such an attempt was made?

Model : Samsung Galaxy J1(2016) (pre-knox firmware)

Status : "unrooted" (checked immediately on deliver from the service center)

texts: What router setting blocks Google Play Store?

texts:
I have 1 year old router Zyxel NBG6604. My Android Phone (Xiao Mi A2) can use WLAN for surfing etc but it cannot download any new apps from Google Play Store nor any update either. I connected my laptop to the router via Ethernet cable and created WLAN hotspot with the same result.
Then I got another router Zyxel VMG3625-T20A. With it my phone can use WLAN also for Google Play Store downloads and updates, both directly and when using laptop hotspot.
It clearly looks as though some router setting blocks Google Play Store with Zyxel NBG6604 but what that is? Both routers were factory-clean, the only thing I have done is to set up SSID and Key for WLAN.

texts:
Background: I want a rooted Android phone, but I have never dabbled with rooting etc before. I own a YU Yuphoria device (which comes with Cyanogen OS).

It seems to me there are two ways to get root access:

install CyanogenMod on the phone, or
root the stock Cyanogen OS that comes with the phone

What are the pros and cons of either option over the other?

If I install CyanogenMod, will I get quicker updates to the OS (including new Android releases)? Does the update happen automatically (or at least very simply), or does it involve some procedure (using the PC to flash/run commands etc) to be followed each time?

Currently I am tilting towards CyanogenMod because I think (though I might be wrong) that it will allow automatic regular updates without having to re-root each time. On the other hand, I have read that rooting the stock Cyanogen OS will require the re-rooting each time after updating the OS.

Any differences in stability between CyanogenMod (the stable releases, not nightly) and Cyanogen OS?


texts: soft-bricked intex aqua young usb debugging disabled

texts:
I bought an Intex Aqua Young and got it rooted. I wanted a stronger supersu version app while the existing one was a bit slower in granting root access for the apps – so I uninstalled the present one and installed a new supersu app from the store. Then I rebooted the phone.

But now it hangs on the logo and doesn't boot. I had disabled USB debugging before it got bricked. I have the flashing tools and original firmware, but am unable to flash the device.

I came to know that I can flash through external sd, but how can I convert .pac to .zip (firmware with .zip extention is required to flash through external sd). Firmware is available only as .pac file for the model.

Please help me: I want to know if I can convert a firmware file having .pac extention into .zip? Or is there any other way to unbrick my phone?


texts:
Is it possible to edit a search that I have made previously when using Google Maps on Android?

The situation I have sometimes is that I make a search in Google Maps but it doesn't quite give me the results I want - perhaps because I didn't use the correct term or because there was a typo in my search. Or perhaps the search works but I want to refine it. As an example, I might first try to search for a street name just to get an idea of where the street is. Then later I might want to repeat that same search but also including the house number on that street because I want to get directions to a specific building on that street.

When I open Google Maps and press the search button I can see my previous searches in the history but I don't see any way to edit, select or copy/paste them. If I touch the search in the history it just repeats the exact same search as before without giving me any opportunity to edit or refine it.

My workaround is to manually type the entire search phrase again with the modification I need, but is there a better way?


texts: How do you prevent Google Music from importing all .mp3 files on the device?

texts:
I'd like to have several audiobooks and/or podcasts on my Nexus 7, but every time I put any MP3 files onto the device, even if I make my own folder for it or some such, Google Music detects them and then adds them to its list of files.

This is a problem, because I'd love to be able to use the "Shuffle All" feature, but then it ends up shuffling in chapters from the Audiobook. I don't want it to do that at all.

Any advice?


texts: Changing file permissions in SD card with my phone

texts: I have arch linux on a SD card and I need to change a configuration file. I can only do it with my phone (Android 6.0 cyanogenmod based). Problem is that the file manager (I'm using cyanogenmod default file manager but I tried ES file manager too) tells me I don't have permission to do it even having my phone rooted and having granted it superuser powers. I suspect it's an SD card thing, maybe it's Android that respects the fact that the file is a system file which was created in another environment. What can I try to do? I chose to post here instead on android network because I thought the permission thing was more relevant to this section

I have an application and I want to swipe all data after uninstalling. I have followed those steps:

public static void clearCookies(Context context) {

    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP_MR1) {
        Log.e(TAG, "Using clearCookies code for API >=" + String.valueOf(Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP_MR1));
        CookieManager.getInstance().removeAllCookies(null);
        CookieManager.getInstance().flush();
    } else {

        cookieManager.removeAllCookie();
        cookieManager.removeSessionCookie();
        cookieSyncMngr.stopSync();
        cookieSyncMngr.sync();
    }
}

But when I install again, application still remember who I am. (I don't log in, I just anonymous add some products to cart). I also reset OS and see that everytime I reset, application will load again from fresh state so it means application doesn't store any my private information such as device id ...

My question is: where can an application can store data. I have researched and cannot find more.

texts: How to migrate all your contacts between two providers on android?

texts:
Suppose I'm using an android phone running stock Android 6.0. Suppose further there are about 100 contacts and about 50 of them are with provider P and the rest is with provider G (as displayed by the default Google-Contacts app).

Now what I want to do is to move all the remaining 50 contacts which are still with G to P so I have every contact once and stored and synced with provider P.

How can I do this, preferably using only my phone?

Now I'd do this manually using the Contacts-App but it won't allow me change the storage provider for an established contact.

For clarification: the phone in question is a Nexus 5, provider G is obviously google using the device-default google account and provider P is posteo which is registered to Android as a "calendar service provider" via DAVDroid.

texts: ADB can't find Nexus 7 after bootloading

texts:
I am trying to update my (unrooted and unlocked) Nexus 7 2013 wi-fi to Marshmallow via OTA. My Nexus is in USB debug mode and I have installed adb on my system and download the update package file.

When I connect my Nexus to Windows 10, the system recognizes the device as Android ADB Composite and everything seems to be working as it should. I open a command prompt and type:

adb devices

and the device along with its id is correctly shown. At this point I reboot to bootloader, so I type

adb reboot bootloader

the Nexus reboots, enters in the bootloader and the following happens:

adb can't find the device anymore
the device manager puts the Nexus among the Other devices and so it appears no driver has been installed for it.

As suggested on numerous tutorials, I right-click on the device and choose to manually install an appropriate driver. And I expect to find Android ADB Composite in the list and instead the only possible choice is Samsung Android ADB Interface — which does not work, because, naturally, Nexus 7 is not a Samsung device.

I have tried to solve this issue by installing the google usb drivers using the 15 seconds install and it didn't help at all.

What can I do to overcome this issue?

texts: Soft bricked Moto G4 (XT1625) after SuperSU install

texts:
So, yeah. I told a friend I would root his phone for him... and I went and soft-bricked it. Haven't told him yet, because I'm hoping I can fix it before long, but I'm running out of options (and time).

Side note:

I followed this guide when trying to root:
www.reddit.com/r/MotoG/comments/22mimr/the_guide_to_rooting_the_motog_with_a_howto/

and got until unlocking the bootloader when I realized that instead of being a guide for the Moto G4, it was a guide for the Moto G on android 4.x.x.

So I did flash the wrong logo.bin, but hopefully that was the only issue created there. I got the correct one elsewhere and all was working fine.

End side note

So I moved to how-to-geek's tutorial here:
http://www.howtogeek.com/115297/how-to-root-your-android-why-you-might-want-to/

I got twrp installed, booted in recovery and loaded SuperSU (version below)

SR1-SuperSU-v2.78-SR1-20160915123031

Now it's softbricked. Kind of just hangs on the boot screen.

I can get into the bootloader and twrp, but that's about all I can do at the moment. I've tried reseting the cache and dalvik cache, and have tried formatting the device with no luck.

My next step is that I'm installing vanilla firmware from:

http://rootjunkysdl.com/files/?dir=Moto%20G%204th%20Gen%20XT1625

and I plan to try to flash that when It's all done. I'm unsure if that's safe, but don't have many other options.

If you know anything I can try, please reply. Any help is greatly appreciated

texts: Blue arrow pointer in Google Maps won't update whichever way I'm facing?

texts:
On the Google Maps app, I see a blue arrow pointer. I've seen this on a previous version of maps back in Gingerbread. I think at some point in time, they removed this feature and made it look simply like a circle. But now I see that it's back. However, it seems to be stuck on the same direction regardless if I rotate my phone in whichever way.

Android reports on the notification bar that the "Location set by GPS" already so that rules out the possibility that it's still waiting for GPS data. The weird thing is it will sometimes change direction but on random occasions only. Is there a way to force it to re-calibrate or something? I find it really useful back then for navigating places where I'm not familiar with and would like to use it again now.

I'm now on Ice Cream Sandwich. Same phone.

EDIT:
I have downloaded 3rd party compass apps from the Play Store and they work without problems. The phone is ST17i.


texts: How can I achieve operator agnostic call barring?

texts:
so, I've got a rooted Samsung G800F.

My objective:

The phone has access to mobile data (not WiFi). (Intended for
streaming Amazon and Youtube and maybe a bit of surfing or
tethering.)
The phone can not be called. Ideally the phone can not call or get/send sms and install other applications.
The calls do not get blocked. (They are intended for a second cell using the same
number/contract.)

What I tried so far and deem useless:

Call Barring (My operator does not support this.)
Call Blocking (My
other phone has no chance to answer the calls.)
Do not disturb/silent
mode (It could still be answered and the calls are still visually
signalled.)

What I'm trying now:
Fiddling around with the phone app.

And here I'm absolutely lost and hope you can lend me a helping hand.

So, I tried Titanium, but couldn't identify the correct app. I froze and killed some suspiciously sounding/looking ones, but calls still went through and the ringer went uninterrupted.

Next I installed "Root Uninstaller"
Here I found com.android.phone and had some partial success with killing this or some services.

There are two problems though:

I do not know what I'm doing. Not a clue. So, can you tell me what service to disable?
When I reboot the device it has problems and constantly displays an error message/is almost unusable.
(Falling under the "ideally"-category: can I just freeze some "Play"-App to prevent installation of messengers - relying on the phone number - and such?)

(Just FYI: I'm from Europe and might read and respond at odd-seeming times.
 I wanted to include the tag call-barring, feel free to add this.)

Scroll to the bottom and select About phone.
Scroll to the bottom and tap Build number 7 times.
Return to the previous screen to find Developer options near the bottom.

texts: How to know what triggered an apk installation

texts:
I have been trying to solve a malware problem for the past couple days in a certain chinese phone (Android system version=6.0), the problem I am facing is that a malware keeps being reinstalled even after uninstallation, I have tried a couple of methods to no avail.

First, I tried uninstalling using the pm command, rebooted the phone and the problem was gone but as soon as I was connected to the internet the malware was installed again. I didn't want to touch the system at first so I tried to start a fresh and performed a factory reset. I tried using the internet again and I was back to square one, this time with more than 5 malware apps installed. I checked the installer package for the malware packages using pm list packages -i and all I got was installer=null so I couldn't get the app responsilble.

After this I was sure the problem lied within the system so I took fresh system images from 2 different factory ROMs and flashed them separately to the device each time performing a factory reset before switching the phone on and believe it or not when I connected to WiFi again the malware apps were still reinstalled.

I then tried capturing the traffic using Packet Capture in hope to see what app was responsible for downloading the malware, for the entire time of the packet capture session (about 1 hour) I was using internet without seeing any malware, I stopped capturing packets and after a period of 5-6 hours of using internet the malware problem began again.
At this point I have really tried everything I know to spot the culprit app that installs the malware and I have run out of options, so is there really a way to get what process or app that caused silent installation of a package or should I just admit defeat and move on?

Here is a list of some malware package names:

com.yunshi.market
com.app.dov
com.glb.compass
com.loee.lv
com.androidapp.filemanager

My android phone is Samsung Glaxy Grand, aka I9082.

I rooted it and flashed google apps into it.

Everything works well except for this:

Google search just cannot find installed apps for me. I believe my settings are correct.

here are some screenshots:

as you can see in the screenshots, I have kindle installed, but google search simply cannot find it for me. Actually, it cannot find any installed app for me.

Any idea what could possibly cause this?


texts: How do I disable weird lockscreen camera shortcut in Emotion UI 4?

texts:
Device: Huawei Mate 8 EU (NXT-L29), EMUI 4.

When my phone is locked and I press volume down or up quickly, camera app opens, takes a photo and displays on the screen a time I don't know the meaning of (like 1.0s or 0.3s). I have searched through all settings but I still can't find this feature. When I listen to music this is VERY annoying: lowering or increasing the volume with the keys causes a photo to be taken. It happens both when the screen is off and on in the lockscreen, but never when the phone is unlocked.

Also before rooting my phone I did a factory reset (which now I can't do), and it didn't change anything, of course.

I have a HTC Desire, which has a limited space in the phone. Therefore I want to make all apps install to the SD card by default.

However, I can't make it work. I have tried the pm set-install-location 2 command, and I can also confirm that it is set to 2, but I still can't download apps that takes more space than available.

I have it rooted, and installed 4.1.2 on it.

Just wanted to see if anyone knows what is going on with my Samsung Galaxy S2.

The problem is that when I fully charge the phone normally at night I have sometimes turned the phone off after it is charged but then in the morning it is close to completely drained.

Does anyone know what is going on with it?


texts: Flashing BLU Life One X2 Mini wiht Stock ROM

texts:
I am experimenting with custom ROMs on my BLU Life One X2 Mini and had done the following:

Unlock bootloader
Root device
Install TWRP
Create a NANDroid backup

And was in the process of wiping the phone using TWRP to prep for the installation of LineageOS when my phone suddenly restarted.

It would appear that the wiping also cleared TWRP. I'm not sure why; I had specifically installed it on the recovery partition...

As a result, the phone now doesn't boot into Android, but it's still visible to my computer and as far as I know, I'm only able to flash it using QFIL.

I'm looking for options to either:
A) Use my TWRP backup and somehow deploy it from QFIL
B) Get a QFIL ROM that is made for Life One X2 Mini

Finding these is a pain with all the click bait websites and triple redirect download links..

Also if you know of any other alternative, I'd be happy to learn it.

Thanks

I tried out the Google Now feature that comes with Jelly Bean and it's not working as I expected. It answers my questions as a search result but does not show the exact result as a card nor does it speak to me.

I am using a Galaxy Nexus and 4.1.1 Jelly Bean. I checked the audio volume and I enabled Google Now. How can I get it to speak results to me?

I'm searching for a way to pause music playing on my DLNA sound system when a call comes in on my Android phone. Ideally, the music would continue as soon as I hang up my call.

Is there a way to achieve that?


texts: Can only boot into Recovery Mode on Nexus 9. Is there a way to recover my files before doing a factory reset?

texts:
An update broke my Nexus 9 last week, so now when I try to boot it tells me it's corrupted and then shows a "No Command" screen. I assume I'll have to do a factory reset, and if that doesn't work I'll send it into HTC. However, before I do one of those and erase the drive, I'd like to try to copy my AK Notepad files off of it if at all possible.

I can boot into Recovery Mode. I've googled and found that some Droids have a Backup option on this menu, but apparently not the Nexus 9. Also, as it's still under warranty I don't want to root it. Is it possible to get my files back?
