texts: With headphones plugged in, set incoming call ringtone to play through speaker

texts:
I use my phone to play music at work.  When I wander away from my desk, I often leave my headphones plugged in.  If someone calls my phone when the headphones are plugged in, the phone rings, but only through the headphones and I end up missing the call.  What I would like is to be able to set different audio to play through different outputs: my audio player through my headphones and my ringtone through my speaker.  I've looked through the sound settings and haven't found much that seems incredibly useful.

Are there any apps that currently support doing this?  Does the android api even support multiple audio output targets?

Phone info:

HTC Evo 4G (Rooted)
FreshEvo 3.5.1 (based on android 2.2)

texts:
Ive been using this MotoG for 2 years now.
Recently, all the Apps started to Crash on opening and on Restarting the Phone it would always show the "Optimizing xx Apps of xx" .I then did a factory reset through Settings.

The App crashing problem still persisted after i installed Snapchat,Facebook,WhatsApp. SO i fastbooted the phone and Wiped Cache & Did a factory reset . After rebooting now, it is stuck on the Blue "M" Screen and would restart to the same if i held the Power Button for 7-10 Seconds.

Please Help.

PS: No Rooting Performed. Phone not under Warranty. Unlock Code:0.

texts: Is there a way to deactivate LDAP contacts suggestion on android 6.0?

texts:
When I write emails, android suggests plenty of contacts as recipient because my email is connected to an exchange enterprise account. But the company is very big and at every mail, I have suggestion of plenty of contacts before to see my personal contacts. This behavior is not very efficient : if you write a lot of emails to a person, she would be in your contacts list and you don't want other suggestion before her!

So, is there a way to deactivate LDAP contacts suggestions on android?

Will I be able to receive the update? If not, is there a way to update this app?


texts: "Fingerprint hardware not available" after TWRP restore

texts:
A couple months ago I had to get a replacement for my Nexus 6P, so I did a full TWRP backup, copied it onto the new phone, and did a restore (note that I had to rename the backup folder so that TWRP would recognize it). Since then various things haven't quite been working correctly, but one of the most annoying things is the fingerprint reader.

Whenever I turn on the screen, a red message appears at the bottom of the lock screen that says "Fingerprint hardware not available". In addition, when I go to Settings > Lock screen > Fingerprint, the fingerprints I had set up are listed (and I can rename them), but when I try to delete one, nothing happens. Additionally, when I tap "Add fingerprint", it goes to the screen to set up a new fingerprint but then a message immediately pops up that says "Fingerprint enrollment didn't work. Try again or use a different finger." Also, when I open the fingerprint screen (even while it's still prompting me for my PIN), I get this:

05-28 21:33:20.343  3787  3787 V fingerprintd: authenticate(sid=0, gid=0)
05-28 21:33:20.352  3787  6214 E fpc_tac : fpc_tac_send_get_uint32_cmd failed with retval: -3
05-28 21:33:20.352  3787  6214 E fpc_fingerprint_hal: do_identify failed -5
05-28 21:33:20.352  3787  6214 D fingerprintd: onError(1)

repeated endlessly in adb logcat.

Deleting a fingerprint results (AFAICT) in this:

05-28 21:37:15.506 22939 22939 V FingerprintSettings: Removing fpId=983097043
05-28 21:37:15.506  4852  6197 D AudioService: Stream muted, skip playback
05-28 21:37:15.508  3787  3787 V fingerprintd: remove(fid=983097043, gid=0)

05-28 21:37:15.515  4852  4852 W FingerprintService: startRemove with id = 983097043 failed, result=-1
05-28 21:37:15.526  3787  3787 V fingerprintd: authenticate(sid=0, gid=0)
05-28 21:37:15.527  3787  3787 V fingerprintd: stopAuthentication()
05-28 21:37:15.529  3787  6214 E fpc_tac : fpc_tac_send_get_uint32_cmd failed with retval: -3

05-28 21:37:15.529  3787  6214 D fingerprintd: onError(1)

and from there it repeats endlessly again.

There's nothing else in adb logcat when I tap "Add fingerprint" besides a log entry about the Activity being started.

Any ideas? I've searched the web extensively and even poked around in the source, all with no luck.

I'm on CyanogenMod 13.0-20160522-NIGHTLY-angler, but this is definitely unrelated to the fact that it's a nightly.

texts: Replicate Chromecast bootstrap behavior on Android TV Stick

texts:
Chromecast and a few other devices have the following behavior.

Upon either first start or (I want to do) when known wifi APs are not present, they host a Hotspot which can be connected to from your phone to configure it, possibly to setup the AP that it should connect to.

I would like to replicate this on an android stick I have.

Usecase: I take the android stick on holiday, and I plug it into Hotel TV, but I cant control it, necessitating me to bring along my remote.

I am hoping I can set it up so that it can, in that case, host its own wifi, so that I can connect to it and either operate it from there, or configure the hotel wifi and switch to that. I have limitless remote for controlling the stick once wifi is connected.

Tl;Dr Is there an app/way (can be root only) which I can autorun on my tv stick which checks if there is a known hotspot, and if not it hosts its own Wifi hotspot so I can connect directly to it.

I cant have it just permanently do this because I also use it regularly at home, where I do not want this behaviour.

texts: How do I reduce the amount of storage my Email application data is taking up?

texts:
I’m using an LG Tribute phone (Virgin Mobile service).  The default email app installed is synced with my Microsoft Outlook account.  I only use this account for ticket confirmations, boarding passes and the like.  However, recently I noticed it is taking up the following storage:

Total: 635 MB
App: 24.5 MB
App (SD Card): 0 MB
Data: 610 MB
Data (SD Card): 0 MB

Considering my phone only has 2 GB of storage, the above is a heavy price to pay.  When I hit the “Clear Data” button, I get the message “All this app’s data will be deleted permanently.  This includes all files, settings, accounts, databases, etc.”  I don’t want to delete my account so I was wondering if there is any other way to slim down how much data my Email application is using?

Apparently gingerbread stops charging when the battery gets to 100% . I guess this puts less wear on the battery. But it is kind of frustrating to wake up with a battery of only 70 or 80% given the that the battery life on these devices isn't great. On mine I never get 24 hours anymore, but that's probably due to daemons.

Maybe a charging schedule could be implemented in some way, like "next Alarm minus average charging time" ?

texts: Why does multi-user exist in Android if it doesn't work?

texts:
/sdcard -> /storage/sdcard0
/storage/sdcard0 -> /storage/emulated/legacy
/storage/emulated/legacy -> /storage/emulated/0

Based on the above, if all the locations point to the same virtual storage, what's the point in having separate storage locations for each different user?

If /storage/emulated/0,1,2,3,etc. all point to /storage/sdcard0, and saving files in any storage location make it appear in all other locations, how is it possible to have user designated storage if all information is the same for all users?

Or is it not supposed to be designed this way...that every user's storage should be the exact same, but if that were the case, then why does having multiple folders with different numbers for multiple users exist? Am I missing something here? Am I missing some key piece of information? Why allocate folders for a specific user if they all point to the same location and contain the same exact information?

I got my first tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab A (2017), running Android 7.1.1).  I am physically disabled, and I'm unable to actually touch the screen.  But I can use a computer mouse, so thanks to Android's support for mouse control via a USB OTG cable, I'm able to use the operating system and do most everything.

One thing I haven't found in the operating system, though, is a Menu button like this:

texts: Android 9 set volume keys to adjust ringer by default

texts:
I have a OnePlus 3T, and recently updated it to LineageOS 16, from 15.1 - however I imagine this applies to any device with Android 9.

I realise that Android 9 has changed the default behaviour of the volume keys, to adjust the media volume by default. Whilst I can appreciate that some users might find this useful, I much preferred the ringer volume being changed by default and the media volume changing when media was being played. It seems like now there is no way to change the ringer volume using the hardware keys.

Is there any way to undo this change in defaults and make the volume keys adjust the ringer volume by default? Essentially I want to do the opposite of this question. Ideally I'd like not to have to install some questionable app to do it, I have root access so can use that if there's some command that I can change.

Or at the very least, is there a way to stop the ringtone from playing when I change volume from the "Sound" setting menu? Typically when I am changing the ringer volume I'm trying to reduce the amount of noise I might make, but changing the ringer volume through the "Sound" menu causes Android start playing my ringtone, which is very annoying.


texts: Linux on Android - viewing file structure

texts:
I have installed Linux (Ubuntu distro) on my Android tablet, a Nexus 7 (no SD card at all), in a so-called CHroot install.

I am a Linux beginner, so my understanding is quite limited.

When in Linux (using a terminal emulator on the SSH service, logged in as root), I list the contents of the top level "/" directory and can see 18 directories, including: bin proc sys mnt srv home srv ..... and others

When using the Android app "ES File Explorer" (aka FX), I can only see 13 folders.
There is some overlap, but some directories are unique to the FX view, and some are missing.

For example, the folder '/vendor' is visible in FX, but not on the linux terminal.
Also, the folder /mnt shows different contents when I check it in FX versus the linux terminal.

I created a new test directory on the linux terminal, but cannot "see' it when I use FX.

I should note that my Android tablet has been rooted (verified), and I have turned on the Root option inside ES File Explorer, which allows me to successfully browse the "/" directory and subdirectories.

Why do I see a different directory structure when I view it via linux terminal versus the Android File Explorer?

Hours later:  Having read up more on Linux Deploy, it seems to me that use of the "chroot" feature is part of the explanation - the root level and tree structure for the Linux environment is located at a lower level somewhere within the Android 'main system's tree structure - a "virtual" root so to speak.

However, that still means I should be able to "see" it using FX, shouldn't it?  And how do I know where this virtual root is located within the Android tree?

texts: Unknown apps - My Consumer Cellular and Prip

texts:
I've purchased MotoG4 Plus (Unlocked) around Summer 2016 at Amazon(India). I've been using the phone since then and have been extremely cautious about the apps I use on my phone.

Whilst playing through some settings on Pushbullet (under setting: Notification Mirroring > Choose which apps to enable), I've noticed an app named My Consumer Celluar who's logo looks similar to this playstore listing and two apps named Prip who's logo looks similar to this listing.

I've never installed these apps before and these apps are not listed under Android App Settings for me to simply uninstall.

Atleast, the android app id for Prip is com.motorola.ptt.prip which makes sense because I have a Motorola phone. But, I have no idea about Consumer Cellular.

My questions:

Why did Motorola install these apps even though it was sold in a different market ?
How are these apps not visible under general android app settings ?
Do these concealed apps work in the background thus invading my privacy? If so, How could one know that the apps are running in the background ?

I intend to keep the device, as the only real issue is the default players launching.

My question is this: How can I prevent the default player(s) from launching and playing music ever?

texts: Is there any way to tell my tablet to ignore pixel density?

texts:
The pixel density of my tablet is 166.66666... (infinite 6) ppi.

It has a pixel density much higher than my PC and should read perfectly, but reading is a pain because the pixels that are set by software are different to those in the hardware, so the letters are sometimes crisp, sometimes have a shadow on the left, sometimes on the right and sometimes they are split between two pixels.

I have seen there are apps to change the pixel density, but I doubt this would solve the problem because the pixel density is not an integer, and these apps will probably not accept 500/3 as the pixel density.

I have seen that 2X Client (a remote desktop app) can connect to my computer and (apparently) ignore the pixel density, displaying 1024x768 pixels of my remote desktop in 1024x768 pixels of the screen of my tablet, everything looks perfectly crisp in the tablet (as much as in the PC) because of this.

I would like all apps to work in the same way and to ignore pixel density, this would use the screen in the best possible way, everything would be crisp, etc. I don't mind if letters like "i" are only one pixel width, I'm used to that in my computer and that would be just perfect for the tablet.

PD: a test for your android device, look at this:

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

(or better, check the comment with this text, the smaller font helps to see the difference). They should all look the same. In your computer you will be able to see they are all one pixel width and they all look the same. On your android device you may notice small differences between them. If you use a program that ignores the pixel density settings (like I'm guessing 2X Client does) then they should all look equal and perfectly on your android device, except maybe quite small.

I personally don't care if they look small, I'd like that. That's the point of the question.

Try to do a factory reset through recovery mode. I notice that the progress bar freezes unlike the resets I've done before. Takes a while. I get a bunch of errors in red with failed to mount on E/ and invalid arguments (this is the best I can recall).
Now when I turn it on the Galaxy S2 logo will blink in 3 second intervals.
Tried using Odin to root it and install fresh firmware (followed this guide). I also used  Siyah v5.0.1.tar as directed. Using latest version of Odin.
After clicking start (auto reboot, f. reset time and PDA checked) Odin gets up to NandWrite. A couple of minutes later I get an error message that it failed.
After unplugging my phone will show phone...orange "!"...PC. I can't get into recovery. When I go into Odin mode it detects a custom binary.

I'm afraid that my phone is bricked at this point and I don't want to get myself into further trouble without consulting someone who actually knows there way around these things.

What are my options here?

Questions explains it all. I don't use any kind of lock screen on my phone. A home screen appears directly if I wake up the screen. So what's better? Using lock screen or not using it.
Note - Security is not my concern.

texts: How to pull only newer files with “adb pull”? (Android SDK utility)

texts:
With the command "adb pull /sdcard/" I can copy all the contents of the internal memory of my Android phone into my current local directory (and "adb pull /mnt/extSdCard/" does the same with the external SD card). But that command always copies everything, even files I already have stored locally.

Is there any way to copy only new and modified files? (files with a newer date)

texts: How can I switch from WiFi to mobile data without interrupting my current download in Chrome?

texts:
I am currently downloading a roughly 50 GB file in Chrome for Android (10). I am on my home WiFi. Given the speed of my network it should take roughly 8 hours. It is a regular file download which is being handled in the default way, just like when you download any file in Chrome.
I will have to take the device out of my house (thus outside of the WiFi range) later, and I do not wish to interrupt the download.
I have 1000 GB mobile data plan so I could just continue the download over 4G/LTE as I go out. But, as my internet connection switches to mobile data, will that interrupt the download, forcing me to start over again?
If so would it help to pause the download? I could then either resume it when I get back home (on the same WiFi network) or even if it would work to resume it once I am on mobile data?

texts: How does emulated storage actually work?

texts:
I recently bought a Xiaomi Note 4G. An amazing piece of technology. I transferred the apps I had on my previous device to it.

The reason I bought it was partially to have a good gaming experience. But what I witnessed is after you have filled your internal memry with apps and games you cannot free up space: there is no option to move apps to SD, a big disappointment. Even third party apps with root permission don't seem to work, but they hinted that my device uses emulated storage and that it treats both the storage spaces as one.

My question is, then: why can't I install apps anymore if I have 23 GBs of free space? Is there any workaround to this problem I am not able to see? I will be grateful if someone could help out here. Thanks!


texts: Why can I move apps to sd card when using adopted internal storage (sd card)? Does it makes sense?

texts:
I formatted my sd card as adopted internal storage as possible in Android 6.

However in the settings I can still move (some) apps to the "external storage".
This is quite confusing as I thought they would be automatically placed on my sd card as this sd card is my "fake internal storage".

So I have three questions:

Why can I still move them there?
Where are they moved exactly to?
Currently I noticed that the app data was stored in /storage/emulated/0 respectively /sdcard (which is a symbol link to /storage/emulated/0)
Does it make sense to move the apps like this?


texts: How to get Huawei Product ID without stock ROM?

texts:
I have Lineage as opposed to the stock ROM, so putting:

*#*#1357946#*#*

does not work for me.

Recommended on alternate posts were downloading a program called "Huawei Product ID Generator", but this does not work for me as my device model is not an option listed (my device model is KIW-L24).

And this generator (http://www.rootjunkysdl.com/files/) does not have my phone listed either.

Do any of you know how I can get my Product ID since these three methods do not work for me?

Thank you!

If I'm away from my saved Wi-fi networks, and have the Wi-Fi radio on, I'm always getting a "Wi-Fi networks available" notification. I can dismiss the notification, but then it comes back within a few minutes.

I can't figure out how to disable that notification. I'm on a Sprint Epic 4G Touch  (Sprint's variant of the Samsung Galaxy S II), recently updated to ICS.

I remember this being a simple setting in Gingerbread, but I can't find the appropriate setting in ICS.


texts: Can't connect to Play Store. Asks to sync app data instead

texts:
Device: Droid Razr Maxx

Every time I go to the Google Play store, a dialog box asks if I want to turn on background data. So I click enable, and it just brings up popup of a bunch of apps I have on my phone and whether or not I want to sync them. Then my phone gets all glitchy, like the background turns black and the drop down bar doesn't work. I don't understand why it just won't let me use the play store. What does syncing Facebook and Twitter have to do with downloading a game or an app?

I feel like the fix to this is simple, but I don't get it. My service has 4 or 5 bars 4G LTE, yet I can't download a little app.


texts: Can't change security settings due to VPN setup

texts:
This appears to be a duplicate of this post, but the solution there didn't work for me. Clearing the credential storage wasn't even an option -- it's greyed out.

Starting at the beginning -- I started to set up a VPN on my phone (Note 3, Android 5.0) but cancelled the operation halfway through, yet the OS still enforced the security settings (a PIN). I have tried a few things trying to disable the PIN lock, but the only option I have is to upgrade the security to a "password" which is even more unacceptable.

So far, I've tried finishing the VPN setup (it worked) then removing it, also force stop/disable of the VPN app, and quite a few other things that I can't recall at this moment.

I think part of the issue is that a certificate was installed when I started the process, but I have no idea which certificate it was. The System cert list is populated with tons of entries, but the User cert list is completely empty. Is there a way to determine which certificate was installed so I can remove/disable that one? I'm concerned with choosing the wrong one, as who knows what it might break on the phone.

texts: Why Does My Samsung Note 4 Shut Off When it Reaches Around 20% Battery Life?

texts:
My Samsung Note 4 will work until about 20% battery life.  At that point I usually receive the low battery warning but then it just dies almost immediately after notification with hardly any continued battery drain.   This has been a progressive issue and I believe it is linked to battery health.

I've had it die at even higher battery % at about 30% but that is really rare.

I have owned my Samsung Note 4 for about a year now with the original battery as its only used battery.  I preordered it and received it on release day. The battery has gone through many cycles.  I estimate on average 1 to 2 full drains per day everyday for about a year now.  At this point I tend to just leave it plugged in while I'm near an outlet continuously now.

I charge it with and without the fast charger.  When not in bed I use the fast charger.  When I'm sleeping I use a standard basic charger.

I'm currently using an app called Battery Monitor Widget to monitor my mAh with this battery.  I also just received a second battery that I will test too.

Does anyone know what could cause my phone to die at around 20%? Is it battery health?

texts: Synchronizing S-Note notes between S4 and Note 10.1 2014

texts:
Some time ago I used a pair of devices: Samsung Galaxy S4 and Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1. I noticed, that they synchronized the notes in S Note nicely: even though S4 was unable to edit complex Note's notes, at least it was able to display them. And they were synchronized with my Samsung account as well.

I've replaced the 10.1 with the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition1 lately and I've noticed, that it no longer synchronizes notes with my S4. Do you know maybe, why is it so? Is there a way to synchronize notes between my devices automatically?

texts: Is it possible to put a password to let usb debugging work?

texts:
So, I learned that, if we have a broken screen, but had the usb debugging enabled, we could do a lot of things, and even use its apps from a desktop computer, until we can get it properly fixed.

But, also, if my phone gets stolen it just sounds like doom to me...

The alternative I thought was: keep usb debugging enabled, but limit it completely, requiring some kind of password or trick to let everything else work.

Is it possible to do that? and how?

I understand this question complements this one.


texts: Google Play Music - Edit tags of Remotely Stored Music?

texts:
I am often surprised by the treatment of MP3 names by the native music player, Play Music. Fairly frequently albums are split, or unexpected titles pop up, etc. I am pretty meticulous about ID3s in my collection, and I often can't exactly determine the reason for the unexpected behavior.

Luckily, for those files I copy directly to the phone (Nexus 4), I can fix the issue fairly simply with an app called MP3dit (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ADnet&hl=en). For those that I upload to the cloud via Google Music Manager I am not aware of any such option. Is there a method for changing these? I can't find any alternatives/plugins to Google Music Manager, or at least not yet.

I thought of trying the "Keep on Device" thumbtack button - doing keep, making the edit, and then unkeeping it. However, this is would be tedious and unwieldy, plus I can't seem to find the location of the file once it is downloaded.

One, but far from the only example. Tags looks uniform, but player splits album. And that one funky artist name with all the extra spaces!

So...

1 - Is there a way for me to change the artist/track/album info on these cloud-stored songs?

2 - Can anyone shed some light on the naming system in general? I'm fairly certain it isn't simply ID3s. Some albums that look totally uniform on my hard drive are then split when copied to the Nexus 4 (both on device and remotely stored, but at least those on the device are fairly easily fixed)

texts: What is this annoying sound on my S3 running CM 11.0?

texts:
I'm running CyanogenMod 11.0 on my Galaxy S3 I9300, Android version 4.4.2.

I didn't have this issue before installing CM, so I'm thinking it may be a CM sound. Basically, sometimes this sound keeps playing when I have my phone on loud.

It sounds like an error sound, as if I'm trying to complete an action that's not allowed. It plays even when I'm not even touching my screen, and I think there is actually a small issue with my screen.

I'm not too fussed about any issue with the phone, I just want to delete the sound so it can't play anymore! It really drives me mad because sometimes I can't have my phone on loud without this sound playing constantly.

I tried looking and listening to all the sounds on my phone to try and find it, but I didn't have any luck.

The sound can be heard here (at about 0:02):

texts: Is there any way to root JB without losing all data and settings?

texts:
Is there any technique to root Jelly Bean (perhaps temporarily) without losing all data and settings?
The phone is Nexus S i9020 with Android 4.1.2.

The phone has a bad case of the "Lag" problem - AndroBench reports:
Random rd 4.4 MB/s  (1127 IOPS)
Random wr 0.18 MB/s 49.86 IOPS.

I have found "LagFix" as a possible solution but it requires root.

I have no other reason for root, and would be happy to have a "temporary" root that would let me run LagFix to solve that problem, and then be back to unrooted after restarting.

I checked the suggested answer (This question already has an answer here:) If I root my Android phone, will I lose all of my data?, but it is from 2010 and recommends a tool (Unrevoked) that only supports specific phones (not including the Nexus S).

I saw a different approach here but it appears to be for Gingerbread 2.3.3 and prior. I'm running JB 4.1.2.

So I'm still looking for a way to root JB without losing data.


texts:
I've got an ir touch frame which is properly detected on android, but its coordinates are not translated properly on the system - the input is rotated by 90 degrees and the coordinates are interpolated accordingly.

I've tried to force rotate the screen by 90 degrees and set the touch.orientationAware = 0 in the idc file for the device. The coordinates are better (moving finger in x axis actually moves the pointer in x axis) but the values are incorrect and it covers only part of the screen.

In here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21564830/android-touchscreen-position-off I read about someone's attempt to change the output.x value, however it does not work for me at all. Changing this value has no effect whatsoever on the values reported.

Is there anything I can do using the IDC files?


texts: Is it safe to restore the phone.apk from a stock Samsung ROM to CM9?

texts:
I was using the stock Samsung ROM on my Samsung S2 i9100. Changed over to Siyah Kernel and then made the leap to CyanogenMod 9.

Although I prefer and appreciate the myriad settings and usability of CM, there are a couple of issues where I preferred the functionality of the stock ROM:

The phone.apk - not just the dialer, but the incoming call screen
and the large size buttons to answer a call or to bring up the
keypad etc. I know I can use an alternate dialer like DialerOne or dwContacts but that doesn't help me to change the incoming call screen.
Pressing the physical home button to answer a call. There are times
when it's exceedingly difficult to use the onscreen slider and a
press to answer the call is far easier.
FM Radio - although Spirit Radio works as an alternative.

For items 1&2, can I overwrite the existing phone.apk and contacts.apk with the previous ones that I have backed up using Titanium Backup to return this functionality?

And when I tap it, it opens up Google and asks me to sign in again and says it can't find the account. All this is just an inconvenience but what's really making this a problem is I can't update any apps in the play store until I get rid of this account somehow. I've tried looking in the android file explorer for some sort of accounts system file or even a google accounts system file to delete and can't find anything of the sort on the S4. I don't want to have to factory reset and get all my stuff back over this. Oh yeah, this is what shows up for the accounts settings now.

texts: Factory reset a Panasonic Lumix DMC-CM1 - can't start settings to enable USB debugging

texts:
A recent update to the Panasonic Lumix DMC-CM1 seems to have broken something fundamental.

System apps will load but the screen will stay blank. e.g. Settings loads up and shows the header with 'Settings' but the rest of the screen is white. I have left it 30 mins and it stays that way. It frequently stalls and has to be rebooted, sometimes you see Launcher3/Settings/etc is not responding, neither wait nor close help. Same in safe mode. I have turned on airplane mode, turned off basically everything I can, removed SD card and SIM etc. Still the same. Google Play wont load so I can't load any apps that might help.

Unfortunately that means I can't turn on Enable USB Debugging, and so I am limited in my options. It seems like the only options are the following:

Using a 'secret code': *#06# works (shows IMEI num) but nothing else seems to, though I did find an info window in the background one time (I think must have been *#*#4636#*#*). I am going off a list of codes I found here.
Using Recovery Mode: There seem to be a lot of different ideas on how to get into recovery on this phone, but none of them work for me. It seems like it's possible to get into a fastboot mode and from there you can do adb reboot recovery but only if Enable USB Debugging is on! :/

Is there anything else I can do?  I am not even sure what version of Android is on it, perhaps 4.4

texts: How do I force a hard shutdown of a phone with non removable battery?

texts:
My phone is Samsung Galaxy S7 with Android 8, and any phone specific answers are welcome but I am looking for a general solution
A few days ago  my phone screen went crazy and started detecting touch events all over the place when it was just left alone on a table. The home button seemed to be unaffected and brought the phone to the home screen, but it didn't stay there long enough for me to be able to do anything. Long pressing the power button brought up the (power off, restart, emergency mode) interface, but it turns out touching anywhere on the screen other than the three specific buttons causes the buttons to disappear, and since touch events were getting auto generated, the shutdown option kept disappearing. Eventually I managed to stay on the shutdown interface long enough to press the shutdown button.
Is there any way to forcefully cause a hard shutdown on a phone that does not have a removable battery? I am looking for a general solution that works on all phones, if such a thing is possible. I would also like to know if this is possible from adb on an unrooted phone.

texts: Where in the Nexus 4 is the wire wireless charging coil?

texts:
I've just received a "smartfox qi" wireless charger as a gift, but it won't charge my Nexus 4 despite its indicator light turning on, and the Nexus 4 says "charging wireless". Still, it doesn't charge, the battery graph shows a power depletion just as if it were just lying on a desk.
It's running stock 4.2.2 without a case.

The charger has the exact same dimensions as the Nexus 4, so I just placed it exactly on top. I'm thinking that the wireless coils didn't match up well enough. So my question is:

Where in the Nexus 4 are those charging coils? How do I have to place it to ensure maximum-efficiency charging?

Bonus questions:

Wireless charging heats up the Nexus 4 a lot. Is this really healthy? Won't it significantly reduce the lifetime of the (non-replaceable!) Nexus 4 battery?

texts: Third party apps installation when 'unknown source' option is disabled

texts:
Instead of using my company phone, I set up my company email account (MS Exchange Active) on my personal phone. So now I can organise and overview my private and work events in the calendar etc. Also reply to work emails from my personal device.

However, our IT department is pushing the company policy onto my phone and disabling the option for "unknown sources" (third party apps installation using apk file).

Does anyone have a workaround to be able to install third party apps on my phone while the policy is enforced? In other words, I can't enable the "unknown source" option on my Samsung Galaxy S8.

Thanks in advance.

texts: Where can I find local installation files?

texts:
I'm rather new to Android development.
Where I work there are pretty tight security measures (firewall etc) preventing me to download API 15 from within Eclipse. We configured Eclipse's proxy settings to match IE's, but this didn't fix the issue. Finally, I took my laptop home to circumvent the issue. Everything works great now, except for the fact that my colleague has a company desktop and needs to work with android as well. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to perform an update on his pc? / Does anyone know in what system folder the Android SDK stores the API15 installation files?

Thanks alot!

Almost every time I take a picture by camera hardkey, burst mode is activated automatically although I released the key immediately. I don't expect such a short press to activate burst mode.

All of that make photo managing and syncing really frustrated.

How can I disable that feature? I don't want to disable burst mode completely.

Some information:

I have 1 gmail account for my business/work related emails only I
have an outlook.com account for my personal emails
I have another gmail account for non-important things i.e. newsletters and freebie
sites and other 'spam' type mail.

I would like to use the gmail app on my phone for the business emails only and
I want to use the outlook.com app to take care of both personal and non-important emails.

Steps taken so far:

I have installed the outlook.com app on my nexus 5, running the latest android.

I have then added a secondary account to it, via the web interface on my computer. This is my second gmail account that is used for non-important things and is linked via the POP3 settings, and shows up as a separate folder next to the inbox/outbox in the outlook app.

The app is configured to notify me by both sound and vibrations (both options checked in the settings) - and it is configured to receive push notifications.

However, the app behaves quite strangely. For the main account (my @outlook.com address) the push notifications are pretty instant and the phone vibrates/makes a noise. For my secondary account (gmail linked via POP3) there is no notification, I see these updates when I open the app (it shows unread count). How can I make the phone notify me of ALL messages that appear in the outlook.com app.

texts: Developer options switch is disabled, hence not able to turn it on

texts:
I'm having a Samsung Galaxy S5 Android phone. All these days I was able to debug apps using USB debugging from the Developer options menu in my phone. But suddenly I noticed the switch in the developer options screen is disabled (See Screenshot). Only Running services item is enabled in the Developer options screen.
Note: I have a "Software Update" system warning, which is an update that is already automatically downloaded but not yet installed. I'm wondering if the developer options is disabled because of this system
Has anyone faced the same problem ?
Do you know what to do to enable the switch, so that I can turn on the usb debugging ?
Thank you.

texts: Is it possible to root directly custom rom?

texts:
I have bought Xiaomi Mi 5c (bootloader unlocked) and tried to root it. I think I've used every possible software available on internet for rooting (like TWRP+SuperSU, iRoot, KingRoot), even tried to modify a system and boot image from custom rom by placing there SuperSu app and su binary. Also I have used some script which patches sepolicy and ramdisk with tools available in SuperSU app and do other necessary things to root the device, but after that my device does not even boot (stuck on fastboot).

I was wondering if I can use the same script (with some small modificatoins) to root directly a custom rom and then flash the whole custom rom with available root inside.

Intuition tells me that this should be possible, but till now I did not found any custom rom with root inside (except dev chineese roms which are already pre rooted, but that's a different story).

I want to root directly a custom rom and then flash it as I hope this could be the last chance to make it to work. So again, is it possible?

texts: Recovery of QuickMemo+ data via SD - LG LEON bad screen

texts:
I have an LG LEON which has a damaged screen & digitizer. USB Debug is off. I can access somewhat via PC. I tried a USB OTG cable & mouse as well as various software to get some critical data from the QuickMemo+ app.
I have a new LG LEON, all updated & I noticed all the data for the QuickMemo+ app seems to be on the SD card.
Ive used various apps & the LG software to attempt to get at the data for the QuickMemo app off the old phone.
Under Internal Storage/data there seems to be a folder for QM+ but all it contains is images & screencaps not the .db I need.
Question: can I swap SD cards & have my old QM+ data? Or will that just over write the data I want?
Should I get a MicroSD to usb adapter & attempt a backup first?
Other options besides spend more than the phone is worth on a digitizer repair?
I will, sa the data is critical...
Also - I attempted to use the LG PC backup software to transfer the QM+ app to PC & restore to my new phone.
I just got an empty Qm+ with no memos. I hope that i didn't damage my memos on the old system.
Thoughts?

texts: Hidden gesture to scroll to top of SMS list, or glitch?

texts:
I've noticed that sometimes my phone (Samsung Galaxy S3, Android 4.3) jumps to the top of a SMS list. This is a useful feature that I'd like to reproduce but I never found a gesture or option for that.

According to these answers, there is no predefined gesture on Android and the solution is to install an app on a rooted device. However, a couple of times it worked as such by tapping twice on the top edge of the phone; I don't know if it's an undocumented feature and is supposed to work this way, or it's a glitch.


texts:
When I plug my [Android 9] phone into my [Windows 10] PC, it appears in the Windows filesystem within This PC and has a (virtual) folder within it called Internal shared storage, with various folders within.
I can copy files/folders to/from there no problem.  But if I want to use an application that references a folder (e.g. WinMerge, to check that the files I copied have actually all been copied), when I select the folder on the phone, it gives an error: "Folder Selection.  File not found.  Check the filename and try again."  If I try and copy the path of the phone's folder from Windows File Explorer, I simply get This PC\[phone]\Internal shared storage\[folder] which is obviously not a UNC path that any application or the system would recognize (and isn't).
There must be some UNC representation of the path to a folder on the phone (which Windows uses internally), and a means of determining it.  What is it?
An alternative approach would be if there was a way of cajoling Windows to create a 'mapped drive' for the phone, in the same way as would happen when plugging in a USB stick (or an older phone or camera).  Suggestions in this department also welcome.


texts: Partially dead digitizer - any way to change slide to unlock?

texts:
The middle third (long-narrow thirds way) of my digitizer seems to have crapped out. Diagnosed from having vary hard time unlocking and weird selection issues, to suspecting digitizer, to getting a drawing program installed and seeing no record of movement over that part of the screen when drawing.

This makes unlocking (non-secure) with the "slide to unlock" tab almost impossible - takes 20 or more tries to get it to work sometimes. Since that button does not move when the screen rotates, I can't get it to live where the digitizer works. I thought I might be able to make it work with "pattern unlock" but that won't set a pattern with the middle third out of operation. Same issue affects the sound on/off (and trying to unlock often sets the sound on or off instead.)

So my answerable, stack-exchange-ish question, essentially, is whether there is any way to move/reorient the "slide to unlock" tab, or let the keyboard do that function.

Phone has not been wet, but I tried drying it anyway since many digitizer problems seem to be water related. No help. On/off/reboot battery in/out also make no difference. While it's irritating, if I could get something else (like the keyboard) to do what the slide-unlock is doing, but reliably, I could live with it as is for as much as I use the touchscreen.

I'm on a rooted (basically so I could install AFWall+, as I'm using it on a prepaid service primarily to make/take calls with, and really wanted to make double sure that any data use was restricted to WiFi, ONLY.) "Gingerbread" (2.3.4) Motorola Droid 2 Global if it makes a difference. I'm no great shakes at android-ness, I basically tracked down a root tool method that was purported to work, and after finding that many versions of it didn't discovered one "not the most updated" version that did work, despite dear old VZ making it more difficult.

(I'd also like to ask about replacing the digitizer, but after reading the help page 3 times I'm still not sure if that's considered on or off topic, since it's more about "hardware running android" than about "android as such" but it is "a problem I'm trying to solve on my android device")


texts: Galaxy note 8 battery drain with mobile data

texts:
I've confirmed that battery drain issue in my Note 8 is because of mobile data and hotspot. I have evidence.

Here is battery usage with mobile data and hotspot ON. AOD was OFF

As you can see it shows battery usage over 7 hours going from 100% to 35%.

Here is the usage of screen. As you can see it was only on for 2 hours. As I said always on screen is disabled. That leaves 7-2= 5 hours of screen being OFF

Now here is 4 hours battery usage going from 100% to 95%. Screen was on only for half hour but mobile data was also OFF. That means my mobile data is literally draining as near as display. That's a huge amount of battery getting wasted. Any ideas? What should I do?

My note 8 is only 2 weeks old but ive confirmed and its original. Only mobile data seems to be doing bad job (battery charges fast and seems good)

I mean even if LTE consumes high battery it should not consume as much as display.

What is the logic here?

texts: Media scanner will not recognize NEW music

texts:
So I have a bunch of music already, all in /sdcard/music that scans just fine. When I add new music to the folder, the scanner does not recognize it even though I can see them in the folder in My Files. I have ran Rescan SD, it does not help. I am also using the standard Music Player that came with my Droid Charge (2.3.6, I know, it's ancient). Any ideas?

EDIT: Yes, all files are .mp3, there is no .nomedia file in it, ID3 tags are just letters and numbers, and all my music is in /sdcard/music/.  This is only happening to new music I've been putting on, all my existing music works fine.

EDIT: From what I can gather, it's a problem with the actual scanning feature. The new songs do not show up in other players and rescanning doesn't help either.


texts: File-based encryption security and backup/restore considerations

texts:
I'm evaluating making the move to file-based encryption on my device, but am having trouble finding satisfying answers to the following questions:

Apps can place data in either a Credential Encrypted (CE) or Device Encrypted (DE) storage, but does this necessarily mean all files in /data/ are encrypted? What if I run echo 1 > /data/test.txt from a shell? Is test.txt encrypted via CE?
I want my data to be protected with more than a four-digit PIN. Can a separate boot passphrase still be used to unlock encryption?
To enable FBE, /data/ needs to be wiped. Can I restore a pre-FBE TWRP backup after enabling it to fully restore my data?
Does TWRP still prompt for encryption password at boot as it does with full-disk encryption?
Can I make TWRP not prompt for encryption password so I can run automated backups via OpenRecoveryScript?
If I create a backup without providing my encryption password, is TWRP smart enough to restore the encrypted data as-is on restore?
Are there any other TWRP backup or restore caveats I should be aware of before diving in?


texts: Galaxy s4 mini (GT I9192) - Android 4.4.2 .... Storage space depleting even though data being deleted

texts:
So this is a recent development since last night.. when the phone suddenly started misbehaving. Hanging, apps crashing, working really slow, screen going blank, Vol / Power key  buttons not working etc.

Messages kept popping up that storage space is low.. with great difficulty managed to delete apps and other data. Images, audio, video etc. The instant I clear up and check storage it will indicate the appropriate amount - 200 mb, 300 mb...

However in a few seconds, the same issues of hanging reoccur, and upon checking storage I see that it has gone back down to 180 mb, 700 kb n finally now its showing 56 kb despite having removed more than 2 gb worth of data and apps. CACHE continually being deleted, best I can do since the phone is barely functioning, but it keeps filling up to about 1.84 mb (not that it matters).

Help! I cannot purchase a new phone as I do NOT have the funds for it.
I also get a pop up which goes something like android.acore stopped functioning. Sometimes "process system" stopped functioning along  with the usual pop ups of Whatsapp, Google apps, Touchwiz not functioning.


texts: Better Autocorrection on Galaxy Note similar to Blackberry?

texts:
I got my first android device ever and it is the galaxy note.  Previously I was on a blackberry.

At the moment, I dislike the auto correction on the Galaxy Note.  If I want to type "and" but accidentally typed "abd", the autocorrect puts "abduction".  With my old blackberry, typing "abd" will display the suggested autocomplete inline.  If you press the space bar, then "abd" remains.  If you press enter key, then it will display the suggested autocomplete of "abduction".  This is great, because you can easily choose between abd or abduction without needing to look to a separate userinterface control for autocompelte suggestions and moving your fingers to a separate userinterface control.

Can anyone recommend a blackberry like keyboard for android?  Or just somethign that let's me easily choose "abd" instead of "abduction" when I mispell "and"?

texts: Device Steadily Discharging While Plugged Into AC?

texts:
Question: My device (Galaxy Note 2 running the stable CyanogenMod release) is charging extremely slowly and discharges while it's plugged into AC power.

What happened to cause this and what's happening now:
My device has been wonderful for over a year. Yesterday it ran down to about 10% and I borrowed a friend's charger. It charged up to 100% surprisingly quickly. I then let it drain down to about 3% before putting it on the charger. I came back to see the OS wasn't booted and it was in the charging screen (provided by the BIOS?). I then left it to charge for several hours and it only got about 10%. Then I was using it and it drained down to 0% while it was plugged in the entire time. The icon showed the charging animation and the Battery Status page (the one with the graph) said that it's charging on AC. Every couple minutes the battery loses another percent even while it's plugged in. While in the BIOS charging screen, I left it to charge for about 6 hours and it ended up with only 34% charge. It would normally be fully charged much earlier than this. Plugging it into my computer via USB seems to also make it discharge. I have tried two different chargers (but the same cable for both chargers and the computer).

Home screen icons and widgets
Login settings for apps such as DropBox and Remember the Milk.
Wifi settings

My contacts and installed apps are carried over automatically as soon as I've connected the phone/install to my Google account.

Is there a convenient way to get the above points carried over automatically?

texts: Nexus 7 2013 wi-fi stuck at google logo after rooting

texts:
I downloaded AOSP (5.1.1, API level 22), made changes in the init.rc, and added the su binary / SuperUser packages to the build. I also added proprietary binaries relevant to nexus-7 flo (for Android 5.1.1 (LMY47V)). I then built the entire source tree to get a package (.zip) containing the required .img files and Android-info.txt. I then do a fastboot -w "zip file name with all imgs".

This runs and the device gets stuck in the "Google" screen with a lock icon. It does not go beyond that even after hours. However, I can access the tablet via ADB and I also get root shell. What am I missing here ? Is there a version mismatch somewhere ? How do I check if that is the case.

Additional details :
Device is "flo". At the launch menu I selected "flo-userdebug".
Repository sync is to the latest android version I think. I checked the version in build/core/version_defaults.mk.

I have a Shield Android TV (first version with 5.2 installed).  I'm trying to install Half Life 2: episode one from the play store.  But it's not working properly.

The app is 2.6GB and over DSL it's going to take a while.  I'm not getting any errors, but after a while (something more than 50 minutes) when I check I find the install has stopped and I'm back at an "install" prompt with no indication of any saved progress.  Selecting install just starts the process from the beginning again.

As this is a paid app, I doubt I have the option to just download an APK via a different tool and sideload.

Is this a timeout on the system?  Any workarounds likely (short of a faster network)?

ADDED.
On earlier attempts, when I cleared the screensaver, there was no message.  On my most recent try, I kept the screensaver off and around (exactly?) an hour into the download an error appeared.

  Error

  "Half-Life 2: Episode One" can't be downloaded. Try again, and if the problem continues, get help troubleshooting. (Error code: 495)

The phrase "get help troubleshooting" in the message appears to be a link, but the virtual cursor doesn't appear here, so I can't click or inspect it, only dismiss the entire dialog.

  “SD card is damaged - You may have to reformat.” How do I fix this problem?

I have a Sprint Kyocera Echo.

I accidentally pulled out the micro-sdhc card when in use. When I put the card back into my smartphone, it said "Damaged SD card, you may need to reformat it". When I pulled down the notification bar, it gave me the option to format my SD card, with a warning also of losing all my data. I formatted it and it said "erasing sd card", finally, a message "SD card is currently being checked" appeared.

When I placed the micro-sd card into a SD card adapter and put it in the digital camera, nothing seemed wrong. My camera took pictures like normal and made no complaints about insufficient memory. The logic is in to see, how the camera would react.

I put the SD card adapter into my computer and it read normally. My computer fully recognized my micro-sd and the files, along with the pictures I had just taken on my digital camera.

I took it out and placed it back into my phone, yet my phone still popped up with "Damaged sd card" message. I put the card back into my computer and formatted it through the PC, saying it successfully reformatted my card. I think its fixed or so I thought.

But no, still "Damaged SD card" error message on my phone.

I do have Google Voice, and GrooVe IP, but the likelihood that a call will actually ring the phone is.. unreliable, at best. I've given up on it as a method of locating the phone.

So what I need is a way to "ring" the phone over Wi-Fi. I've set up a static local IP, and I set it not to ever disable Wi-Fi during the daytime, but I need some way to contact the phone.

The phone is a Rooted Droid X with Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread. I am fairly tech-competent, and enjoy tinkering with electronics, so if the solution is difficult or complicated, don't knock it immediately.

The phone is lost extremely often while at home, but never while out, so it's perfectly OK if the solution requires a Wi-Fi connection.

P.S., this is not a duplicate of Question 2603, that concerned phones with the ability to recieve Calls/SMS/Data, and as such, all its answers are irrelevant to this question.

texts: As the title says, the screen is completely broken. Apart from a few pixels lighting up when I turn it on. How can I make a backup without enabling USB-Debugging and unlocking the screen?


texts: What could cause a page opened on Firefox to have an enormous data usage?

texts:
I have opened the rather innocuous page on reputable website Quanta Magazine using Firefox Android 65.0.1 (with NoScript installed) and left it open.

The data usage rapidly burned through 1 GB of data transfer via the mobile network, which is more than I use in a month in general.

I closed the page, stopping data usage. Reopened it, and on it went. It has blown my data usage for the month out of the water.

The graph from "Settings > Connections > Data Usage > Mobile Data Usage" is eloquent:

I have pumped the URL through Sucuri just to make sure whether there is a known evil in that page but it comes up blank.

What could be going on, and do I find out?

Gingerbread on board :-).

I try to customize ringtone, so I copied files to "/system/media/audio/ringtones". Depending on the app, either the copy is forbidden or the copy is ignored.

Next try -- as with Galaxy Ace, I created directory "/mnt/sdcard/media/audio/ringtones" and copied the files there. This worked, however Android does not pick them up when selecting audio for a ringtone.

When I first customized my phone (around 2 years ago) I used the app "Tone Picker" to help the system to select the customized audio, maybe something was changed in the app, I don't know, however this also does not work.

I would prefer to copy somehow the files without need of external application anyway.

So how to do it?

I have to set up and configure a thousand devices that use Android Go 8.1.
Every device is the same brand and same model.
I have to install two third-party APKs that get thrown a warning by Play Protect. I also have to configure certain settings, Pass Code, disabling background mobile data for certain apps....Notification settings and so forth. Everything on every phone needs to be precisely the same, down to the pass code, and down to the GMail address the device is logged in with.
I have no experience in Rooting. I need some advice on how I would achieve this in the fastest way possible. The device is a generic Hisense U605 with 1GB RAM and 8GB internal storage.
