texts: EeePad Transformer ADB problems with drivers on Windows7 x64

texts:
Sorry for the cross-post (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8185773/eeepad-transformer-adb-problems-with-drivers-on-windows7-x64)... I was told this is a better place for my question.

I have 2 Windows7 x64 machines.

One of them has got both drivers (ASUS Android Composite ADB Interface and Transformer TF101) and when i run adb devices I get the device listed as expected.

The other one has only got one of the drivers (ie. the ASUS Android Composite ADB Interface is not there and there is no unknown devices or apparent problems in Device Manager).

Any ideas?


texts: How can I set a custom screen resolution for my Android TV box?

texts:
I am trying to use a new-ish Android TV box with an old projector. The devices in question are an M8 Android media player and an Optoma EP719 projector.

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00KNL4GLK
http://www.projectorcentral.com/Optoma-EP719.htm

The media player is connected to the projector through an HDMI to DVI adapter. The media player is rooted and I have adb access to it over the network. It is running Android 4.4.

The problem I am having is this:

Part of the image is repeated on the right side. This does not appear in screenshots. I believe this is due to the 16:9 aspect ratio of the resolution. Technically this resolution should work, but in any case my preferred solution (and I hope the easier one) is to set the resolution to 1280x1024. I know this works with my raspberry pi already, though I have a similar distortion when trying to set it to 720p resolution.

The problem is, I can't seem to set the resolution to this value. I am able to select resolutions by going to Settings > Display, toggling HDMI auto-detect off, and picking from a list of HDMI resolutions but neither 1280x1024 nor any other resolutions commonly available for monitors but not televisions are listed. I can choose, e.g., 480p, 720p, and 1080i all of which should work with this projector, but all cause some manner of distortion (usually stretching one side of the screen way out instead of duplicating it).

I've tried to manually set the resolution with a few different apps and via the CLI with wm size as in the related question Change the screen resolution to 1024x768 on Samsung Galaxy S3. This causes the screen to become much smaller than it should be, occupying only a small portion of the screen (e.g. the top left quarter).

I've also tried setprop hw.hdmi.resolution 133 (with 133 being the code for the 1280x1024 resolution, I think) then disconnecting and reconnecting the adapter as suggested in the other related question How to change external screen resolution?. That didn't work either.

Is this possible and, if so, how can I do it? Getting the projector to handle 1280x720 resolution would also be acceptable but I am not sure whether that's a problem on the projector end or the device end.

EDIT: I tried flashing the media player with an OpenELEC image. The same issue occurred even with Kodi's resolution changer. For some reason, it insists on detecting the device as 16:9 even though it reports itself as 4:3.

texts:
I was able to install android x86 on my laptop with a 20GB partition and configure the system according to my tastes yesterday.  Also yesterday, I tried using this app to uninstall some bloatware on my system, such as:

Browser
Calculator
Gmail
Keyboard
Youtube
Velvet (I think this is the google app)

I tried getting rid of this stuff since it's all either unimportant or I have better apps instead, such as opera, hacker's keyboard, and deepstack calculator.  When I tried, google's services started dying, and then larger apps like atom launcher started dying.  Now, whenever I try to boot into android, it's stuck at the loading screen, though I do have access to a root terminal.  Luckily, I still have the '.apk' files available as well as the configuration files.  I tried to fix this by using 'pm install', and, even though it starts to install the package, it isn't able to.  When I try to pass other arguments to 'pm', it just says that the service isn't available.

Now, I don't want to have to go through a re-install and configure android again, so how do I either:
1. Start the service so that it works
2. Manually re-install the packages?

The device is still bootable to some other OSes.  All help is appreciated.

EDIT: I did not delete any services, only these apps that I have uninstalled from a separate tablet of mine and know to be unimportant.

Is there a bug report feature which can be used to report bugs with any app hosted on Google Play?

I'm thinking that most developers will welcome feedback on their apps, so would expect this mechanism to be built into the Play platform; or at least for a service to be available for this purpose.

I've found options to report issues with Google's own apps / the Play platform itself, and obviously some apps have built in a feedback feature, but for many I can't find any way to feed back to the developers.

texts: Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 - 2014 Edition (Chinese version)

texts:
I live in China. Just purchased a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 - 2014 Edition (SM-P600) tablet. Since I have other devices that came with Google Play Store, I had no idea that Samsung's wouldn't.

I was wondering, is there a way to get Google Play installed and working on this device? Is it possible to purchase the Samsung/Google version and replace the Samsung/Baidu one that it came with? Or, is there some other workaround for this specific issue? I live in China, and so I don't have many options to buy products designed for Westerners.  Hope someone can offer some assistance. Thanks! ~Anthony

texts: Why am I getting an 'Invalid Server Certificate' error when retrieving email even though I have the 'Verify Certificate' setting disabled?

texts:
I'm trying to configure my phone to sync with my work email account.  I'm accessing it through OWA (Outlook Web Access).  With the default settings, when the phone attempts to retrieve incoming mail, I get an error stating that there is an 'Invalid Server Certificate'.  This persists even if I disable the Verify Certificate setting.  Why is that?  How do I avoid the 'Invalid Server Certificate' error?

I do not receive the error if I set 'Use secure password' to Never.  But, that doesn't seem too safe.  Would that mean my password is sent in plain text?

I have recently (since ~1month ago) experienced the following problem:

When I get new mail on my gmail account, Gmail will usually not autimatically retrieve it (e.g., no notification; and when I manually open GMail app, the mail will NOT be in the inbox)
However, manual mail retrieval/sync DOES work fine, for example if I click on "Sync" (retreieve) curcle icon within GMail app; or on Elixir 2's "start background data sync" icon; or check-off-and-back-on on the "Mail Sync" in Settings->Accounts for relevant Google account.
Also, sometimes Gmail does get retrieved/notified; I am not 100% sure but there seems to be a very strong correllation between that and having recently opened GMail app (especially in foreground).
GMail sync worked perfectly find till ~1 month ago
The background sync does not work for ANY of the 3 Gmail accounts I registered.
OTHER mail apps seem to sync perfectly fine (e.g. Hotmail or Yahoo mail) in the background.. So I have a hard time believing it is a problem with overall sync.
The issue is independent of network - it doesn't work on WiFi or 3G.

System details:

Droid X, running rooted stock Froyo 2.2.
I have gone through 100% of intents in Autostarts and made sure every single intent is ON for both Gmail listener and Google Framework.
Gmail version is 2.3.6 (it has a 7/1/2012 backup in Titanium Backup Pro, so I'm assuming this is when it was last updated. BUT the problem existed before 7/1)
Background sync is turned ON - confirmed via Quick Settings app as well as widgets from Elixir 2.  (also, as noted above, Hotmail and Yahoo mail seem to sync fine)

I am a proud owner of Motorola Defy. A few months ago I upgraded my defy from 2.1 to 2.2. Although it had new features it became a bit laggy and so finally I decided to root my defy and install MIUI Gingerbread.

I was using MIUI Gingerbread all this time and suddenly it started itching me and a thought came to my mind that I want to experience Motoblur again.

I had already created an image of my Motoblur Froyo before installing MIUI Gingerbread. So I went ahead and reverted the Froyo image back on my defy.

But then some of the things stopped working: e.g. Camera is not working now.

I found that the Foryo image did not copy the Motoblur Froyo Kernel and when I reverted back my defy is still having the MIUI kernel.

Can someone help me getting back to Motoblur Froyo or can I download the original kernel and re-install it back to my defy?

Anything would help....

Thanks.


texts: Cannot disable MMS link sharing without creating Samsung account

texts:
When I try to send a picture using the standard SMS/MMS app "Messages", my Samsung S20 does NOT send it as an MMS.
Instead, it sends a plain SMS with a web link to a deep subdomain of 3gppnetwork.org (for example https://ftcontentserver.rcs.mnc001.mcc288.pub.3gppnetwork.org/cs/...etc. ).
I found these Samsung instructions on how to disable this "feature". But when I click on the "Off" icon to disable link sharing, I come to screen offering "Connect to your Samsung account" or "Continue with Google", and no other option to continue.
So how can I disable this without creating a Samsung account or giving Samsung access to a Google account, which should all be completely irrelevant to sending MMS messages.

I started to receive notifications urging to install the official Huawei app store, kind of alternative to Google Play Store. I would be glad, but the app immediately requires to give about all permissions that ever existed for the phone. Is it malware or just unprofessionally written? Please do not hurry to install the app if you just do not know.

One thing that made me suspicious is the app requires permissions right after start and refuses to do anything if not granted immediately. I would expect well written app to have some functionality available, and permissions box popping out only when the permission is really needed. At least could allow to browse over apps in the store - not any single permission is required for that.

texts: Best way to play a long audio file cleanly

texts:
I have a 12 hour audio file that contains ambience that I listen to while sleeping in noisy places.  My old phone running Android 2.something can play it without problems using MX Player.  My newer phone, a Galaxy S4, running 4.something, can play it with MX Player but it will occasionally glitch, causing the sound to drop out for a moment before resuming.  This wakes me up and is thus unacceptable.  At this point this is about the only use I have for the old phone and I'd like to stop using it, but I need this functionality.  The other apps I tried seem to hang on the file's long duration or size (500MB).

I'm not sure if the glitching is due to MX Player or if other phone processes are interrupting the sound access or processor usage.  Is there a better way to play large audio files?  Or is there an app that can seamlessly loop a shorter audio file?


texts: Link2sd, partition unmounted itself, can't mount back

texts:
I have Sony Xperia M2 (D2303), and i have had Link2sd for quite some time.
A while back I created a partition in Minitool and mounted it as ext4 in Link2sd. Sometimes it crashed, but usually waiting or restarting would help, because all it needed was to link lib, obb and dex files. However couple days ago i set up Sleep as Android, and before i woke up a family member took the phone for a while (Facebook, Candycrush - which heat up the phone a lot). So when i woke up and tried to shut down the alarm i couldn't, Sleep app kept crashing.
After that I rebooted the phone, only to find out i have 10 installed apps showing, apps showing crash messages, even if i didn't have them in the background. On top of all there is an alarm icon below the clock which i can't turn off because Sleep app is not showing in app drawer.

After 2 days I figured i might flash SuperSu again from twrp, because it wouldn't update binaries.
Tried turning Link2sd into a system app to mount ext4, it only shows some grey screen for a second, nothing changes.
In settings there is Sdcard present with similar space i had before(1 GB more space- probably just app data wiped)
In Link2sd there is Sdcard, as well as the second partition which is showing as unmounted
In DiskInfo app i see partition by its name and allocated size(mmcblk1p2)
I see Sdcard in computer when plugging in usb.
However, I don't see it in Minitool, Disk Management or when running cmd - "diskpart" - "list disk" commands
SDHC card is Kingston 32 GB class 10. Total commander app allows exploring Sdcard which is not appearing in Minitool. Not only is partition missing but Sd card as well.

Thank you.


texts: How to use/install Xperia lock-screen on any Android?

texts:
I'm trying to see if there's a way (maybe an app) to change the built-in lock screen to one that either imitates or full-on emulates Sony's Xperia's lock-screen.

Forewarning: I'm not going to root my phone for this. I have enough problems with Google snooping around. Don't need malware getting more than it needs.

I understand that there are plenty of apps that include a customized lock-screen UI/design, but I specifically want the lock-screen that Xperia uses/implements.

What I don't get is if people have been able to come out with the apps that do this, what's stopping someone from porting the code or creating an app that let's the user select from different themes with regard to lock-screen design?

What I'm asking for seems to be possible by rooting my device, but I'd rather not do that.

For reference, I'm running Android Marshmallow on my Samsung S5.

texts: Map Whatsapp media to external SD on rooted Lollipop

texts:
I've wanted to create a symlink from the Whatsapp media folder on internal storage to external. So I installed FolderMount from XDA, which is claimed to work. Instead, what I've seen is that Whatsapp is unable to write to the new location on the external SD card. When I click on a picture or other media file sent by someone, it downloads it but the blurred thumbnail persists, and when you click on it, it says 'the file was not found on SD Card' or similar.
Does Lollipop deny writing to the external card for apps somehow? The other option I've used is Link2SD to a separate internal partition, but that doesn't work well with Whatsapp either.

Do I need to make sure I'm mapping the actual path to the internal/external storages and not symlinks/aliases, and in that case what would the actual path be?

texts: Text Messages Sporatically Get Stuck In Unsent State On Droid 3

texts:
I have been having this issue for a long time on my rooted Droid 3 using the ROM it came with and this happens daily with relevant logs being left or any clear trigger.

Basically what happens, and it tends to happen after the phone has been on for a few hours, I will send a message, usually with Handcent SMS (though I've experimented and tried other apps including the stock SMS, still happens) and occassionally a text will get stuck.

Now one of two things generally will happen. Either it'll sit "sending" for about 5 minutes before finally failing. This acts like a text bottle neck, because if, say, I have a multi-page text being sent, the other queued messages will send instantly when the initial text fails.

The other thing is that the text message will just sit sending indefinitely until I notice it hasn't sent and I delete it manually. If I resend it, sometimes those subsequent attempts will also hang.

And once this starts happening, it will continue to happen until I restart my phone, resulting in my restarting my phone several times a day.

An interesting observation that could help diagnose is the issue is once when I observed this happening, I open up a SQLite debug app and when I try to open up the mmssms.db file, it cannot read the file, which makes me think, perhaps the file is locked which is why the SMS process cannot commit the change to the database. Just an idea; don't know if that's at all related.

Edit: This does seem to happen more often after heavy usage, say playing a game. Could it be that' some sort of SMS-handling daemon gets killed, perhaps?

I can't remember if it was a custom system of an old phone, or just an app, but instead of a bubble, it used to appear a new bar at the top, with those options. That bar was awesome, unlike the bubble that appears on the most inconvenient places, and disappears when you need it...

There is a problem though. When I press the gallery button in Viber in order to send a photo I have taken, it tells me that there are no photos/videos.

If I go to Google Photos or in file manager, the photos are there.

I also had the same problem with multiple gallery apps (they couldn't find my photos as well). After I uninstalled and reinstalled QuickPick it found them for some reason.

Why is this happening and how can I fix this?

Steps I have already tried:

Connect the phone to my PC (make it show hidden files) and search for .nomedia files. Nothing was found.
Deleted cache and also deleted Viber's cache.

texts: Vibrator not working after upgrading to ICS - Samsung Galaxy S2

texts:
I have upgraded to the latest official version available through Kies. And I have noticed that after the update the vibrator of the phone is not working. Actually its working but not in Silent mode on receiving a call. When we switch to vibrating mode or at the boot-up the phone, the vibrator vibrates. So the vibrator is functional.

I have searched a lot and I could not find any valid solutions.

texts: Phone on Bluetooth acts as if making a call but no actual mobile call - Bluetooth HFP

texts:
Summary

Samsung S8 when connected via bluetooth will randomly open an HFP SCO connection without initiating or receiving a mobile call.

Bug Description - User Story

I listen to music with Bluetooth headphones (Sony SBH60) all through my workday, and my phone will automatically connect to my car's media headkit (Kia Cee'd) when I am driving for handsfree phone calls.

I first noticed the problem just over two weeks ago.

When listening to music with my headphones, I would hear a 'click', the music would become flatter and external sounds would be louder sometimes. At first I thought the music codec used by A2DP was changing. After a while, there would be another click and the music quality would improve again.

When in my car, I listen to the radio but my phone is connected for handsfree (HFP/HSP). I noticed the radio would cut out and the head unit would display:

Calling...
07564627133

However, my phone's display has NO indication of a mobile originated or mobile terminating call. If I hit the 'call hangup' button control on my steering wheel (AVRCP Bluetooth control), the radio comes back on and the  head unit display goes back to the radio station display.

Eventually, I put two and two together. When on my headphones at work I realised that 'click' and strange audio quality is actually mono not stereo.
* I am not sure if the headphone mic becomes active or not.
* I am not sure if the audio is mono because it is now SCO and not ACL A2DP streaming.
When this happens, if I click the 'user action' button on my headphones, it acts like a call hang-up and audio quality is restored.

Again, the phone does not indicate an incoming our outgoing mobile call.

Theory

Some aspect of the HFP Call Setup procedure is occurring on Bluetooth, without a call actually being in place.

Since two different Bluetooth remote devices have exhibited a variant of this HFP behaviour, the issue is with the Samsung S8 gateway not the headset.

Since this behaviour is recent, a recently installed application could be doing this and it may not be the phone or Android that is responsible.

Background

I am an embedded software engineer, I work for Qualcomm on System on Chip Bluetooth Devices and my area of speciality is Bluetooth Profiles above HCI. That's lucky... or suspicious.

To be clear, I know about Bluetooth but I don't know much about Android or Bluetooth on Android (Bluedroid). I have messed around with Android, written some simple apps and I know a little about Android Debug Bridge (ADB).

Yes, it has occurred to me that one of my colleagues has done something to my phone as a prank.

I am posting this to see if anyone else has seen this issue, and as an initial investigation bug report.

Next Steps

Look up the phone number.

Nothing comes up from an internet search
Call the number (UK mobile call).

'The number you have dialled is not recognised'.
Use a Stereo Headset Dev Kit and Frontline Sniffer to get an airtrace.
Enable developer mode, use ADB to get the BTSnoop log from the phone.


texts: Dialer problem with Galaxy Y after rooting

texts:
I recently rooted my Samsung Galaxy Y. I also used Link2SD to move some of the apps to the SD card partition to free up some space.

Since then I notice this weird behavior. When I go to Logs or Contacts and swipe on a number to place a call, the dialer will not get initiated. The screen will remain unchanged and the call will not get placed. And I will not be able to make calls for the next 5-10 mins.

Then when I try again, the call will get placed normally. But, when I disconnect the call after speaking, the dialer will try to dial the number which failed earlier and I need to disconnect it from dialing.

Also, If I had swiped on the contact more than once when the dialer didn't inititate, then after I disconnect, the dialer will try to place the call the exact same number of times I tried to swipe, in quick succession and I need to disconnect it during each time.

This happens often and is quite frustrating. Has anybody else faced this issue or can anyone suggest how I can solve this? I cannot unroot because I have less memory on the in built memory and I need link2sd to keep the apps installed.

Thanks in advance.

My question is,

Why is this such a hard thing to do?

How come it's much easier to switch from Windows to Linux on a PC? Or even switch hardware product and download a driver? Why aren't the drivers or hardware products in our phones compatible with every operating system or phone model just like a PC?

Okay, screen sizes may differ, but a vibrator will still work as a vibrator.

YElp!


texts:
I have my SIM card set to block the number I'm calling from when calling out. I need this due to work.

What is annoying is that some contacts I need to get a hold of will usually not pick up "Unknown numbers" that call, requiring me to leave a message. I know if I turn my Call ID back on, they pick up right away. I understand this behaviour, and I do it as well.

My issue is that on my phone, I have to go through 5 menus before my number is unblocked, then back to the main Phone screen, then make the call, then back to those 5 screens to turn the blocking back on.

I know I can block per call, but then I need to remember to turn this on. Is there an easy way I can quickly enable/disable the Call Block setting? I'm on an Asus ZenFone 3 on the Telus network (purchased through 3rd party supplier, not from Telus directly)

texts: Downloader app failing to download apps over a specific wifi hotspot (Error 495)

texts:
This may look like it's beating a dead horse, but it's not.

All of my Android devices of different brands and different chipsets, from Exynos, Snapdragon 820, Snapdragon 435, with stock or custom ROMs, AOSP-based and manufacturer-based ROMs, all fail to download apps on a fully functional WiFi connection that has no problems with accessing every possible resource that I ever needed.

Updating/Downloading apps fails with Error 495. I had done everything I could to mediate this, but since this is happening on all of the devices that I tried, with more than 1 Google account, it's safe to say that it's not the device's fault.

The fault is in the Downloader app (the one that downloads the apps for Google Play), in communicating with my Asus RT-AC66U router with Asuswrt-Merlin on it. Everything else works fine, including when I connect to another WiFi hotspot on the exact same internet connection. But it also doesn't work if I connect to a WiFi repeater that's hooked up to the same problematic WiFi hotspot on the Asus router. (Both the 2.4 and 5GHz hotspots fail)

Rebooting both routers, and making them go a power-off/on cycle, had no effect. Unhooking the repeater off didn't help either. As I've said, everything works fine. Other WiFi devices on the same hotspot have access to HTTP, HTTPS, with no reported broken keys that would suggest a security risk or anything. I didn't change any settings, and updates used to work just 4 days ago.

So the question is: What is so special about the Downloader app, or about Play store, that makes it the only thing that's failing?

Or how can I diagnose this? Maybe an easy to use packet sniffer that's able to show the failing request and allow me to reproduce it outside of my phone, and figure out what exactly about my router's settings it doesn't like. I promise to share my findings, and will describe in detail every step that I took, if it helps me fix this issue. Because right now I don't even know where to start looking.


texts: Does Ice Cream Sandwich support native screen capture?

texts:
I understand that earlier versions of Android do not support a native screen capture feature, unless provided by the specific device, or you have a rooted device, or you have the Android SDK and link via USB. However, I have read that ICS should support a native screen capture, but the suggested volume down + power combo in that article does not work for me.

I have also tried home + power, as seems to work on other devices, but that does not work for me either.

The official Android Developers site for 4.0.x states that this should be possible, but doesn't say specifically how...

  Users can now share what's on their screens more easily by taking
  screenshots. Hardware buttons let them snap a screenshot and store it

texts: Hide Whatsapp profile picture from a certain user

texts:
I want to hide the profile picture in WhatsApp and still be able to message this person.

As far as I've understood, to message someone on WhatsApp, you need to store his/her number in the phonebook. Once you do this, you can't stop this person from seeing your picture, because WhatsApp does not have this options under the privacy settings.

Changing the "Who can view my profile picture" to nobody is not an option.

Also, if I delete the person from my phonebook, I will not be able to message his/her anymore. Same problem when using the app WhatsNot.

Is there a workaround or an app hide your profile pic from individual users?

Thank you for your help!

Sorry if the pic is too big.
I also asked this question here but haven't gotten much help and copied and pasted my question from there, so if you go there, you can skip the first post.
I have a rooted LG Tribute LGLS675516100eb running Android 5.1.1. A few days ago I was looking through some settings in Andromizer and turned the DPI setting all the way up just to see what it would do(confusing DPI for resolution:o), but it said I had to reboot for the change to take effect. I didn't want to reboot at the moment so I cancelled**. But when I rebooted to wipe the Dalvik cache a few minutes later(what I installed Andromizer for), the DPI setting took effect and now I can't get past the lock screen because the button you push after you put in the password is off the side of the screen.:laugh::o
I don't understand what these have to do with the DPI  setting but:  Also, nothing happens when you push the emargency call button so I can't use that glitch to bypass the lock screen:(.  And when I call the phone, the Call app crashes.:confused:
I want to fix it without losing data.
I tried ADB but it says "LGLS675516100eb unauthorized" with the devices command.  I thought I had USB Debugging on, but apparently I don't?
I tried Dr. Fone but It gets stuck at 99% for 10 minutes then it says "Install Model Failed", while on the phone, the firmware update(that's not actually a firmware update for this operation I assume) is stuck at 0%.
I think Tenorshare 4uKey and iMyFone would work but I won't go past the screen that says all data on the phone is about to be erased.
I'm not gonna have to send my phone to that company in Isreal that can unlock iPhones am I?:p:laugh:
**If I remember correctly,  I selected OK when I changed the setting and then the reboot notification happened when I left the page. So apparently cancelling the reboot only did so for the moment but not completely.:mad:
[End Of Pasted Portion]
Also, I tried side loading TWRP in recovery mode (in order to change the DPI setting via command line) but I got: E:footer is wrong E:Signature verification failed.

My problem :

Hello friends. I use Asus zenfone go T500 android phone. My problem is, my phone often gets affected by some kind of virus which sometimes installs some chinese apps without my knowledge and sometimes it causes troubles to other system apps and because of this i fequently get a message displaying unfortunately stopped working.

What I have done:

I tried resetting my phone(factory reset).
But even after resetting after a few days the same problem occurs again. So i thought of reinstalling my stock rom and hence i downloaded the stock rom from the official asus site and reinstalled it. Everything was fine. But again after some days the same problem. What i mean here is no matter any time i scan my phone with some antivirus or factory reset or reinstall ROM the behavour still exists.
I tried updating all my system and installed apps but no use.

My predictions:

What i predicted as a problem was this that my phones private ip address must have been stolen somehow and some idiot from some country is DOS attacking my phone.

Other info

  NOTE: I once rooted my phone and then later i reinstalled the stock
  ROM to get rid of it

Here is an example:

@Izzy Sure, when I type "business" into GooglePlay search, this app comes up as #5 for me. But when I go through Categories --> business --> free, I have to scroll all the way to #140 to see that app. Why does difference happen?

texts: Can I update to the latest version of Android on a generic off-brand tablet?

texts:
My question is related to this community wiki. I found an affordable white-label Android tablet for €99 a few days ago and I'm considering buying it. Its specs seem fairly decent for its price range, especially given that I'd prefer a 10-inch tablet. Unfortunately it's a very generic brand (IT WORKS), so I don't think that I'll get any OS updates.

Is it possible to install the latest version of Android on an off-brand tablet? I'm fine with vanilla Android or a popular custom ROM like Cyanogenmod. I'm asking specifically about off-brands because there's a big chance that the modding community doesn't have a ready-made solution for that specific tablet. The device comes with Superuser already installed, so I'm assuming that it is pre-rooted. I'm not familiar with the ROM flashing process and I've never done it before.

  Easiest way for testing the internal GPS

My new Samsung Galaxy i5500 (or Galaxy 5 or whatever other name they confuse us with) (android 2.1) has a build-in GPS. However, I somehow think it is not working correctly or at all. Whenever I use Google Maps (in open air) and select 'My Location' the GPS icon appears in the top bar but keeps blinking (I waited several minutes), and it seems my location is only determined using wifi or mobile network wizardry.

Can I somehow easily check if the build-in GPS is working correctly? Is there some page that shows the longitude/latitude location it has received from the GPS?

(BTW: turning on the GPS in the power bar, or in the settings page, does work, but still leaves me puzzled if the GPS actually works)

texts: Exchange Services and Android OS/System draining battery

texts:
I'm using Samsung Galaxy S4 with Android 4.4.2, for about 5 months.

I've experiences before some problems with battery, like sudden crashes when using apps intensively using graphics, but today the battery started to be discharged very rapidly, 10% an hour, or even more, without device being used. I've found out, that Android System and Android OS are responsible for that carnage. But after restart and charging the phone I've found out, that Exchange Services has also significant part in it.

After browsing internet I've found topis like that: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=37437 suggesting, that Android OS/System battery drainage is connected with Exchange Services. But that topic is very old, and people are writing about older version of Android.

Can this behavior be connected with the linked issue? If so, why it happened now, and not previously? Can the previous crashes of Android be somehow connected with ExchangeServices behavior?

Can I do anything now to prevent at least memory drainage? It renders my phone unusable as mobile device...


texts: Play Store (web) doesn't show my device on my default Google Account

texts:
So I had three different Google Accounts set up on my Nexus 4:

personal google account - personal device
personal google apps account
company google account - two company devices (both no longer active)

Until 4.3 I had absolutely no problems, with the 4.3 update - some of the apps stopped updating (Error RPC:S-5:AEC-0).

I removed all of my accounts of the device and then re-added only my personal google account.

Now my Nexus 4 won't show up in my personal account's play store on the web but looks to be attached to my company google account, so I can install apps from the play store on the device but not through the web interface, which simply states: "You don't have any devices". Although on my personal google account I can see my wishlist being sync'ed between the two, and apps I install on the device show on the "My apps" screen, I cannot locate my device either through the android device manager.

What could be the cause, and how can it be fixed?

Extra Info

I currently only have my personal google account set up on the
device.
I've tried setting the default account through the Play Store app, but it still doesn't work
Locate my device settings on the device are active, and I'd assume it to work with my personal google account as there aren't any others active.

Now i guess i got too "over-excited" deleting the malware/adware apps, that i mistakenly deleted a clean system app. Now my phone doesn't pass the boot stage and hangs after playing the intro animation. I hope you guys can help me since i didn't totally wipe off everything. Plus the phone is exactly like Google Nexus 5X.


texts:
I have a Galaxy Note 10.1 (GT-N8013EAYXAR).

I have tried literally everything, and I am at a loss. I have tried SuperOneClick which didn't even come CLOSE to working. I tried using Odin which seemed promising, so I went with it and kept trying. I tried stuff that was downloaded. I tried converting the official CWM to a tar.md5 (this made Odin crash). I tried adb methods (maybe I'm doing something wrong).

All I ever get is the factory recovery. I can't run Titanium Backup (or really any other decent apps) without su.

Please help. I'm at a loss here.

EDIT -- SOLUTION

If you have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, and are looking to root, here are some useful links.

This is the post where I found the link to the superuser file that is to be flashed via Odin. The post describes the process. NOTE: You do not need to flash CWM to get root.

Here is the link to the actual su file that has been prepared for use with the Odin utility.

Hope this helps anyone that gets caught up in the process of rooting their Note 10.1. =)


texts: What exactly happens when I use Kies to perform a "Firmware upgrade and initialisation"?

texts:
I bought an unlocked Telstra Samsung Galaxy S3 4G, and it's loaded with some Telstra software. I wanted to get rid of those, so I loaded up Kies and it gives me the option to perform a "Firmware upgrade and initialisation". I don't want it deleting everything off my phone and I don't want to do anything to my phone to mess with it so I wanted to be absolutely certain I understood what would happen. I tried googling this subject but couldn't find any useful information.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can give me a detailed, clear and concise answer.

texts: Change default calendar used by Google Calendar from "Phone" to my Google account

texts:
When I create an event on my phone, by default it is created in the "Phone" calendar, unfortunately:

Which means the event is not synced to google.com/calendar.
I have to switch manually every time.

QUESTION: How to change the default calendar?

"Sync Calendar" is enabled.
In the app I have no "Settings > General Settings > Default Calendar" setting.
"Home > Settings > Applications > Calendar Storage > Clear data" did not solve the problem.

I'd rather stick with the official app, except if it is unfixable.


texts: How can I add fonts to my Android phone to view characters that are appearing as X boxes?

texts:
I am frustrated with the apparent inability to figure out which charset or language I need to install to view characters that appear as "X"s on my Samsung GS6 phone.  I am running Android 7.0.  Non-rooted phone.
For example:  On Twitter, when I use the app on my phone, someone's name appears entirely in Xs.  I assumed it was a multichar language like Korean or Japanese (both of which I have installed) but it turns out it's just bold face Roman.  (Which I see when I pull up the user via Twitter's web interface on my computer.)
Other times, I am sure it's an emoticon or such that someone sends that doesn't show properly.
How can I know which languages or icon sets to install so I can view these?
(Note, my computer, a Lubuntu machine, usually displays things fine.  So this is a phone question.)
Thank you so much for helping with this.  Driving me nuts.


texts: marshmallow and personal security/privacy

texts:
I've been reading the news in the US about a court order for Apple to help the FBI bypass the security check present on devices running iOS8+. Since iOS8, Apple has stopped storing encryption keys on the cloud.

I'm just wondering how does this apply to Android. I believe Nexus devices that came with Marshmallow out of the box (6P and 5x) have full disk encryption thus these will have the same security as iOS8+ devices.

How about those that were upgrade to Marshmallow? I know my G3 was upgraded to Marshmallow but encryption is turned off. Also, does turning it on make a difference? Or perhaps the 6P and 5x has extra hardware so encryption keys aren't stored in the cloud?

Thanks for reading and your replies :)


texts: Can I set up two children on one device both managed by Google Family link?

The Google Family Link FAQ says you are only permitted to have one child per device.

Does this mean two children share one device under Family Link? Or that there can be one Family Link account and one other account?

What are the limitations / implications of a second account?


texts: Buying games for my kids, without me "attaching" a credit card

texts:
My child has his own email address and his own account on a tablet that we share. He wants to spend his allowance on a video game, and I wish to trade his allowance cash to me buying this game for him somehow.

I refuse to enter my credit card or use PayPal on that tablet, because, well, Android, as much as I like it, given the apps my child installs randomly at will, and given that Android clearly is not a secure system at all, I feel I'd be running a major risk entering any passwords on it.

So, I envision me on my secure Linux system, purchasing some sort of Play Store currency, which I can hand over to my child somehow, like through an email or something. I don't want to physically go to a store to buy a gift card which can then be redeemed. I want to buy something, once, online, that allows my child to then purchase the game he wants.

Is this possible?

P.S. I'm in Canada.

texts: Prevent a specific app from being updated on client side

texts:
I want to prevent a specific app from being updated by Play Store and Package Installer, preferably by refusing updates. Whenever I want to update it, I am supposed to be required to revoke the prevention manually, or the app cannot be updated. It should be a system tweak or a change somewhere in /data.

Things I've thought:

Tweak somewhere so the system reports the app to be infinitely new
Make the app "invincible" and cannot be modified

It doesn't matter if the app can be removed by regular means. Any thoughts?

texts: Why is Google Keep's use of background data suddenly through the roof?

texts:
I just got a warning from my provider that I had already used up 80% of this month's data plan. So I checked my data usage and saw that Google Keep had used a whopping 201 MB in background data, since april 8th.

Needless to say I immediately turned off background data, but the damage has already been done.

What on earth can have caused for Google Keep to use such an enormous amount of background data? I hardly even use it, only as a clipboard (since sharing to clipboard isn't always available, while sharing to Keep almost always is).

Also, in a case like this which looks like a malfunction, is there any chance for me to get a compensation from the app's maker - Google?

texts: Searching Call Logs in Android 10 Dialer app

texts:
Had a query-
I've been trying to find out how to search for numbers in the Dialer app (Android 10/Nokia 6.1). It searches only contacts & places.
Eg- Let's say I received a call today from a number say 535-555-5555.
Since the number isn't saved as a contact, if I try to dial the number, the number does not show up at all (barring similar numbers from my contacts).
As you start entering the digits, it would narrow down the choices and show you the correct number, when you dialed it (or received a call from). In my previous phone (Vivo /Funtouch OS), this was a very well organized function.
I've tried a few dialer apps but all look only through contacts.
Is there a setting in the native Android 10 dialer app that I can change to allow it to search through call logs? OR Is there a Dialer app in the Play store that can do this?
Sharing links of those who have had similar issues.

texts: Does uninstalling apps leave any traces?

texts:
I come from a Windows background where anything you install-uninstall usually leaves traces which are sometimes hard to detect and remove.

Does the same happen when you remove Android apps? I know there is no registry in Linux/Android, but is there any place where traces can still remain?

I have seen some apps creating folders on the SD Card, but that's easy to spot and delete.

Thank you.

texts: Microsoft Exchange bandwidth out of control?

texts:
Yesterday afternoon I synced my Galaxy S II with Microsoft Exchange and my multinational corporation's exchange server. Mail settings were to push at all times.

Over night my phone drained its battery completely and rang up 550MB in mobile upload charges via Exchange. I'm certain it was exchange because I have a traffic monitor tool and that particular email client is only holding my exchange account.

This was, to understate, surprising.

Is this normal behavior for Exchange? I only received 8 emails over night, none of which had any attachments to speak of.

My device is Oneplus One, I installed Android 7.0 on it, then I installed OxygenOS 3.1.3. Then I thought to get back to CyanogenMod 13.0 with SultanXDA 3.4.0 kernel.

I installed TWRP successfully and pressed Reboot -> Recovery but after that I can't get access to TWRP anymore.

Fastboot says that USB Debugging is disabled.

How can I enable USB Debugging in this situation?

texts:
We are going to have an online poll using SMS in an upcoming ceremony. We also want to show the result of the poll on a large screen using a video projector. The idea that I have is to use an android phone to receive text messages and forward them to a PC using a TCP/IP connection. If the message is forwarded to the PC, I can handle the rest of the things easily. Now, I have two questions regarding the above idea:

Do you know any application of piece of code that forwards any incoming text message to a given ip address/port number?
Is an android phone capable of handling a large number of text messages? That would be 100-200 messages per minute. The latter issue is a more important one since I have no clue about the number and I cannot test the scalability of the system since the day of the ceremony.

texts: Quickest way to sync video taken with Android to computer

texts:
I'm taking a video on my Nexus 5 and I want to view it on my computer immediately afterward. What's the quickest way to do that? Here are the options I know about, please tell me if there's something faster.

Connect the phone to the computer with a USB cable: Transfer would be blazing fast, but having to connect the phone physically would suck.
Use Dropbox's auto-upload to get that video automatically to my Dropbox: This is great in that there's no need for fiddling, but it takes way too long, as Dropbox is not smart enough to transfer the file directly from phone to computer through the LAN, but rather first uploads the entire file to the Dropbox servers, which can take hours. (The file is a few hundred MB big.)
Use AirDroid. The upload transfer is reasonable, but having to turn on the app, go to the browser, navigate to the file in their interface... That's annoying.

Isn't there a way to have the video automatically transferred to my computer over LAN after it's taken? Or better yet, while it is being taken, to make it even faster?

2) Will Android 7.0 take up that amount in #1 PLUS what Android 6 takes up already, or will it replace what Android 6 takes up and hopefully leave me with very little decrease in storage?

Add to home screen

However, if I navigate to a specific URL within some sites, like Weather Underground (https://www.wunderground.com/) and follow the above process, it doesn't add the specific URL, it adds www.wunderground.com and doesn't seem to give me any way to edit that URL to reference the specific subpage (e.g. www.wunderground.com/my/specific/url).
Why, and how to solve this?


texts: How does Android's FBE store each key used to encrypt each corresponding file?

texts:
I am very new to Android's FBE and still learning the basics.
From what I could understand, the way FBE works is that for each file to be stored on the disk, the kernel requests for a key from some secure hardware logic. The kernel then assigns this key to the file to be encrypted and is then stored on the disk. When that file is read from the disk in future, the kernel will use the same key to decrypt it.

Since there are multiple files that use multiple keys, who keeps track of the key used to encrypt each file?
Are these details stored in some secure non-volatile memory? If the device is reboot, and the keys removed from RAM, how is this information mapped again?
If some files are deleted on the disk, do the keys get re-used?

else,but I cannot figure out how to reboot in recovery/cwm mode. There is no hardware button other than the power button on the Mele A1000


texts: How can I patch Stagefright on an Elephone P6000 Pro?

texts:
According to this xda post the Elephone P6000 Pro stock ROM is vulnerable to Stagefright. A Stagefright detector app confirmed this on my phone.

The Post links to this patch, but also mentions that the partitions do not match this phone.

I tried both flashing the linked modified version, and moving the files manually into the system.

However, the Stagefright detector app still shows that my phone is vulnerable to CVE-2015-6602.

What else can I do to fix Stagefright vulnerability?

texts: Formating and reinstaling OS on Galaxy S4

texts:
Someone put CyanogenMod on my T-Mobile Galaxy S4. So I tried to unroot and return to the original by watching this Youtube video and using this method.This is what I have gotten from the phone:

Odin Mode
Product Name: SGH: M919
Current Binary: Custom
System Status: Custom
Knox Kernel Lock: 0X0
Knox Warranty Void: 0X1
Write protection: Enable
eMMC Bust: Mode: Enable
Start [224, 1440]                                           in red
SW REV. CHECK FAIL : fused : 4, Binary: 1 in red.

On the PC screen, in red, it says Fail!

In the message box, the last line read: All threads completed: (succeed 0 /  failed 1).

Now I tried to reboot the phone, I got the same Odin Mode thing plus: CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0X30 minus the two lines in red.

In the middle of the screen, a phone, a yellow triangle with an ! mark in the center, a PC screen.

Below says: "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."

I have no phone now. I know I didnt reset binary flash. So people told me to format and reinstall the OS. Please help me to go back to stock version.


texts: How can I access my Galaxy S5 from a PC to retrieve all of my files?

texts: I broke the digitizer (LCD display/touch sensor underneath glass screen). The phone still turns on and can connect to computer but I can't access it because I have a passcode lock on it and it doesnt give me the option to type it in on my computer. The screen is completely blank and un responsive. Is there anything I can do to retrieve my files?

Weird :

My phone suddently stopped being detected by my phone.

So, I hard formatted it in windows, in FAT32.

It didn't work, but windows detect it well, I have no problem to read / copy files in it.

I tried my SD in another phone, and it works.

I tried a new SD in my phone and it works.

I don't really know what to do, it is a 32GB SD, so I would like to keep it.

Any idea????


texts: App Data Not Restored After Copy From Nearby Device

texts:
When installing a new Android 7.0 phone I chose the option to Copy From Nearby Device. All the apps on the older Android 4.4 device were copied and seem to be working but only 4 actually have any data in them: Gmail, Calendar, Hangouts (but not Hangouts Dialer) and Contacts. Every other app is an a cleanly freshly installed state: No accounts, no data, no saved games, etc.

What happened and how can I correct this? The older device is not rooted and neither is the new one yet (but I intend to do so once I figure out why).
