texts: Firefox for Android mysterious connections after turning everything off in settings

texts:
I created a user.js that incorporates support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-stop-firefox-making-automatic-connections and other tweaks, yet Firefox for Android still attempts to connect to several addresses that appear to be Mozilla updates related (63.245.217.* aus4.mozilla.org).

Review of about:config confirms user.js was recognized.

user.js: http://pastie.org/private/syyzqotsooclhwnuoxqo7w

This is just for establishing a baseline where no connections are made without user consent and not for regular use.

Question 1: Does anyone know of another tweak I should make that could solve this?

I posted this on a Mozilla support site (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1088951):

There are no responses so far. As I understand it, that's a volunteer run support site and it possibly focuses on simpler questions.

Question 2: If this isn't solved here, where should I try next?

Note: I'm not suspecting something nefarious. The merits of that particular user.js are out of scope for this question.


texts: Accepting Calendar invites not showing in calendar

I wanted to install Global Developer ROM for my Redmi 3s Prime which I downloaded from their website. So I started with installing TWRP custom recovery and completed successfully.

After this blank screen appeared for very long time and nothing happened.
So, I long pressed the power button and now my phone is not booting up at all.

I tried the following things but none of them are working.

Fastboot mode by pressing VOLUME DOWN + POWER buttons.
Recovery mode by pressing VOLUME UP + POWER Buttons
Also tried by pressing all three buttons.

I also ran these commands adb devices and fastboot devices, cannot see my device.

And even the battery charging indicator is also not showing up.

Is there any tool or something which can help me to fix this problem?

Any help is appreciated.


texts: When app is removed from the play store, is it removed from everyone's phone that downloaded it?

texts:
I woke up this morning and noticed a missing icon for an app.  I don't know which app; it's just a missing position in a grid of icons.  It made me wonder...  When app is removed from the Play store, is it removed from everyone's phone that downloaded it?  Does having auto-update matter at all, and in any case, what happens to the user data?  Will I receive an email notification of the app's removal?

It's disconcerting that someone else could have uninstall power over apps on my phone.

Device: Pipo N7 MT8163
Android 7.0

I am using a Micro SD Card (128GB) in my tablet. As far as I know the device is supposed to be able to handle this card. The tablet recognizes it without a problem. What I am experiencing is, that I find different areas of the tablet malfunctioning. for example I can't download or install new apps while the card is mounted in the tablet. If I unmount/eject it then I'm fine.

I also find that most of the time I can't delete data or cache in the Settings -> Apps. Even when I can delete it doesn't update the data and chache amounts.

Usually when you go to the apps in settings it shows under each app the amount of space the app is taking. When my card is mounted I don't get this info.
These are only a couple of the problems I seem to have. As soon as I eject the card all goes back to normal.

I have tried to google this problem but wasn't able to find anything related to my problem.

Please if someone can advise on what I can do

texts: Is there any downsides to rooting the tab s?

texts:
I was recently given this stunning tablet from my company I work for, in the hopes that it could be turned into an offline development platform. I have been looking at alternatives to gain this setup without the requirements of root.. Whilst there are options out there, I always find myself resorting back to the original trail of thought of being manually installing necessary packages to achieve a stunning development platform.

I come here today to ask the following question: Is there any downsides to rooting the tab-S?

As lets face it, unlocking the maximum potential for a tablet is a brilliant feeling. The unrestricted usages it provides & the removal of the touchwiz bloatware.

Now, I have done alot of research into the rooting process done on the tablet, it's fairly straight forward and can be acomplished with minimal effort with the use of the auto root tool available, or rooting with the odin tool.

But, the downsides are vaguely listed, most of which revolve around tripping KNOX.. Which in turn makes the use of Samsung pay useless, but on a tablet.. Is it really necessary? On a mobile, I can understand the slight inconvenience it can cause as with the S6 will support Samsung pay and what not.. But regarding the tablet.. What actually are the real reasons to why most people avoid rooting Samsung products?

In the past, I have rooted a selection of Sony mobiles and a few Lenovo tablets, without a problem as they all came with an extremely short list of downsides.. regarding Samsung though.. There are quite a few documented downsides for this process, which are not properly explained.

I've heard that it might be due to the Push Notification not working so, I decided to download from Google Play the app PNF No-Root which changed the heartbeat interval to 5 minutes (I use WLAN connection) and it didn't work at all (the same for similar apps). I tried looking for other solutions. I went to Settings > Data Usage > WLAN > WhatsApp to check if the Restrict background data box was unchecked, it was unchecked.
I also went to Apps > WhatsApp to see if the box "Show Notifications" was Checked. Went to WLAN > ADVANCED and set "Keep WLAN on during sleep" as "Always". Finally, I launched WhatsApp and all the settings are correctly set for me to receive, but I don't. When I go to Apps > Running > Whatsapp it says that there is 1 Process and to Services (although it shows 1 service sometimes), ExternalMediaManager and MessageService.

texts:
I have rooted my Nexus 5 and installed CyanogenMod (Android 6) a few months ago.
It has always been running fine, but today while scrolling a web page it froze, so I long-pressed the power button to reboot it.

The phone started rebooting, showing the Google logo and unlocked lockpad, then the CyanogenMod robot head, as usual.

It then rebooted by itself, once again the Google logo and robot head, and got stuck there.

After 5 minutes without visible progress I long-pressed the power button again.

Now it does not go further than the Google logo screen. I tried again rebooting it a few times, it is always stuck at that screen.

Starting in recovery mode just turns the screen black (the screen is active but only showing black pixels).

When I signed into my e-mail for work (we're on Microsoft Exchange) there were a number of server-specified security policies (See below) How do I avoid these?:

I just received a Nexus 7 and signed into my work's exchange server. When I did so I told me that the server was requiring some security settings. I don't really like those. Especially the one (not really mentioned in the image) which disables NFC which I wish to use for Google Wallet.

So my question could be answered by:

A non-rooting method to disable these settings;
A different app which would allow me to still connect to the server but not enforce these security settings;
Anything else which I may be missing.

texts: How to disable battery saving when battery level is below 15%?

texts: I used an old tablet to operate a smart home. In order to work continuously, I took the battery out of it and connected it to a 4V power source, which works continuously.

After this treatment, the tablet works properly, only despite the constant voltage level, the battery level drops after a few hours to 1%. I would not have a problem with it if the battery saving function did not limit the capabilities of the device. Is there any way to turn it off? The tablet has root access.


texts: How to add secondary patition on sd card to internal memory?

texts:
I have a Samsung Galaxy Y GT-S5360 which I have rooted. I have partitioned my 8GB class 10 SD card to have two partitions on it using AParted:

A 2GB FAT32 secondary partition.
The rest of the SD card into a primary partition.(FAT32)

The problem is, even after doing this and installing Link2SD and changing the install location to external, the apps are still being installed into the internal memory and I get a "low on internal memory" message every time I try installing new apps. When I check the Link2SD app list, many of the apps are showing that they have been already moved to the SD card and my secondary partition on the sd card is still pretty much empty.

What have I missed over here? (Sorry if this is a lame question. I'm new to rooting and stuff)

4- I removed the battery to force shutdown
5- I got a soft-brick (I suppose that reason is because I interrupted the update)

texts: Suspicious directory ".MySecurityData" in internal storage

texts:
I have a Galaxy Note (N7000) device running stock Android 4.1.2. I was browsing the internal storage and noticed a directory named ".MySecurityData", which contains one single directory "dont_remove", which contains multiple directories whose name consists of hexadecimal characters of length 32 (presumably MD5 hashes). All those 3rd level directories contain three directories - ".image", ".thumb", and ".video". A search through find command reveals that all the directories are empty containing no files.

Fact that the parent directory is hidden, directories have suspicious and obfuscated names, and a web search returns no results for ".MySecurityData" has raised concerns of some malicious activity.

Can anyone identify the application that may have created these directories? I'm a paranoid person and usually shy away from installing apps, and double check the ones that I'm installing.

There is also a SQLite3 file inside "dont_remove" (name is again in hexadecimal characters of length 15). A SQLite3 .dump on this file results in following:

PRAGMA foreign_keys=OFF;
BEGIN TRANSACTION;
CREATE TABLE android_metadata (locale TEXT);
INSERT INTO "android_metadata" VALUES('en_GB');
CREATE TABLE medias (_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,album TEXT, from_path TEXT, dest_path TEXT,thumb_path TEXT,file_name TEXT,file_type TEXT,file_ext TEXT,timestamp LONG,rotation INTEGER DEFAULT 0);
COMMIT

UPDATE:

After a grep through dumpstate logs in /data/log, I noticed that the SQLite3 file was being accessed by com.domobile.applock. I've emailed the developer asking for more information.


texts: Can the on-board ADB Server find the device itself?

texts:
I know that Android devices have an on-board adb server.  I am able to start the server through the terminal emulator and run adb commands, but the device itself does not show up in the device list.  The ultimate goal is to capture a logcat and store it locally, as I am having crashing issues that don't occur when it's plugged in, so I need to capture the logcat without plugging into USB.

I want to ultimately be able to run $ adb logcat -v time > /sdcard/logcat.txt and have it create the logcat text file that I can retrieve and view the next time the device crashes.

I'm running Jelly Bean 4.1.2

EDIT

I managed to track down a solution to my specific problem:

Locally, adb is not required to gather a logcat.  From within the terminal emulator, you can simply execute logcat > /sdcard/logcat.txt to gather a logcat.  However, I'll leave the question up in case someone figures a way to get adb to recognize itself, as it might be useful in the future.

texts: Deleting Pictures through adb - Yet They Remain in Gallery

texts:
I'm attempting to write a script to test out a camera for long periods of time, and one of the issues right now is the fact that it runs out of space when pictures are taken. My initial approach is to remove the picture using adb after its taken. The issue is, even after I remove it from the location it is saved in, it remains visible in the gallery, and I assume it's taking up space somewhere. The properties associated with it (such as width, height, flash info, etc) all get deleted as well, except for the size.

What I'm currently doing is deleting all files in the DCIM directory (where the camera saves the pictures) after every time a picture is taken, using adb. Additionally, when I search throughout the phone using adb, I cannot find anything similar to the pictures anywhere in the file structure.

Is it possible to fully delete the pictures using adb? Is there a cache where the images are stored somewhere? The only way I can get the pictures to fully be removed from the phone are to either reboot, or use monkey runner to delete the pictures through simulated touches in gallery (which is tedious for a large # of photos).

texts: Why is Call Waiting not available on Android 2.3.4 (Gingerbread)?

texts:
From my Samsung Galaxy SIII's Phone application (on Android Jelly Bean 4.3), as long as my phone has credit, I can access the application's "Settings" screen via the menu key and then tap on "Additional settings" to check the "Call waiting (During a call, notify me of incoming calls)" feature. With this feature, when I am on the phone, if someone else calls me, then the speakerphone emits two beeps, followed by a pause, followed by two beeps, and at the same time displays a screen where I can answer the incoming call. The beeps are not audible by the party already taking part in the phone conversation. I then have the option of answering the new call, while putting the old call on hold, or reject the new call, optionally rejecting it by also sending a text message displaying the reason for the rejection (e.g. busy, etc...). In case the new call is answered, the other call is put on hold, and I can then either swap which party is on hold and which party is online via a button on the screen. I can even merge the two calls in which case I will be hearing both other parties at the same time and they will also be able to hear each other.

So, all in all, Call Waiting is a great feature because when someone calls you and you're busy on the phone, you still have a chance of at least answering the new incoming call if it is more important than the current call. However, this feature seems to be lacking on Android Gingerbread devices.

So, my question is, why is the Call Waiting feature missing from older Android devices? After all this feature has been available for a very long time on phone networks (including those times when there were no cell phones and this feature was available on landlines and was used mainly by people at work who made use of the feature at an additional cost)?

Thanks.

texts: Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro 2017 (SM-J730GM) doesn't seem to support partitioned SD cards

texts:
I have a Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro SM-J730GM purchased at a Sanborns shop in Mexico, running Telcel's stock ROM, rooted, with TWRP recovery and Link2SD. A couple weeks ago I repartitioned my SD card in order to use Link2SD's app linking function. I remember having to reboot my phone a couple times before it picked up the card, but at the moment I thought it had finally worked. However, apparently it was just a fluke, because today I restarted my phone in order to flash TWRP, and when I started my phone back it didn't detect the card anymore.

The card is fine, as it can be read with no problems on a PC running Linux. The card reader is fine too, as the card is legible from TWRP and can be formatted without a hitch from Android. With that in mind, I tried formatting the card using my device's Set Up function, then I repartitioned it with my computer. When I inserted the repartitioned card, that's where my phone began refusing to mount it.

Has anyone had any luck mounting a partitioned SD card on this model? Am I going to have to flash an aftermarket ROM into my phone?

(PS: I'm going to try to reproduce it with a different card)


texts: Phone favorite - remove picture icon due to screen real estate

texts:
Using a new Nexus 4 with OS 4.2.2.

I've pulled my contacts onto the phone (from Exchange/OL using Companion Link) and they are synchronized to the phone's Contacts (people?) app.  I can see them from both the Google People app and from the phone app.

I have over 3000 contacts, and am trying to set up my favorites for people I call regularly (a list of about 20 contacts.)  This was very easy to do on my last Android phone, and the favorites would show me a list of contacts.

On this 4.2.2 phone, the favorites area is displayed with the contacts' pictures as a huge tile, with the contact names at the bottom of the tile.  I do not maintain pictures for my contacts, so I do not want to take up all of this screen real estate for non-existent pictures.  And, even if I had pictures, I wouldn't want them to appear as these huge tiles when I'm trying to look at a list of contacts.

How can I do one of the following things?

Force the phone/people apps to not show the picture tiles in lists.
Remove the picture tiles altogether.
Ensure that the picture tiles do not appear when there is no picture.

I have a Casio G'zOne Commando C771 phone. It only has 400 MB of internal storage (!!!). I want to connect to my email, but if I use the built in email app, it will very quickly fill up what little storage I have left.

In most cases, I have to use "App2SD" apps and never use the built in apps that come with the phone (outdated, and if I even download the updates they will immediately take up that little bit of space - so I only updated the Play Store and nothing else). I have tried downloading other email apps but have been unsuccessful. None of the ones I have tried have the "Move to SD" button enabled. Alternately, if an app is minimal in size (< 10 MB) and allows me to store the emails on the SD card, that would also be acceptable.

Here are email apps I have tried so far: GMail (maybe it would work, but since it comes as a system App I can't move to SD), myMail, Aqua Mail, and "Mails" (by Apyfie).

I have a Roundcube server, so I have also tried the Roundcube app, which IS surprisingly app2SD compatible - unfortunately it's broken in almost all other aspects - for instance, I can only see my last 5 emails and no others - so I still can't use it.

I also tried to locate "K-9 mail" but it says it's not compatible with this version of Android.

This phone has Android version 2.3.3.

I am aware that I could probably root the phone and do it that way, but I would prefer not to.

texts: How to have Android use one ext3fs partition instead of going rogue with virtual partitions for apps on the external sd card?

texts: As this answer pointed out, moving apps to your external sd card decreases your overall system performance due to the tens or hundreds of partitions created for those apps.  Now I wonder, is there any way to avoid this and have the system use a single partition, maybe formatted ext3 or xfs or the like? My devices are rooted, if that helps, but I'd prefer sticking to the stock (samsung galaxy) OS.

I have gone to "Manage Calendars" on my device and 'turned off' the calendar for the other account.
I have cleared the cache & data for the Cortana app and signed back in with the correct account.

I do not want to remove the other Google account from the phone completely, as I still use it (primarily for YouTube and games), but I do not use that account's calendar for anything ever.  I have no clue why Cortana insists on using it or even knows it exists.

I found tips to improve battery in this link: http://www.gottabemobile.com/2012/10/30/hurricane-sandy-crisis-map-puts-shelters-storm-info-alerts-power-outages-on-mobile/

In this link - author said we can turn off Notification of android/iOS applications to save battery.

I have an Android phone. If I go to Settings/ Personalization / Manage Notifications (Sony Xperia). I will see all Applications/ Android Services that I can turn off notifications

My questions is CAN I turn off all application notifications (downloaded / built-in apps) / android service notifications (app services/built-in services)? If I turn off all of them - Does this affect operation of the phone? I understand that I will not receive any notifications (news/updates ... ) if I turn off notifications. I can check updates manually.

Thank you!

  Hello. Here is the [illegible]

  Eva green
  This is the last remind message

Based on these messages featuring John Smith, John Doe (I assume this was intentional, though it could be intended as someone with a surname of Doe choosing an English name of "John"), and Eva Green, I suspect that they were intentionally fake names.

Clicking on the preview item opened it up, and it was empty.

I wiped emails from the GMail application, and wiped the tablet clean, prior to seeing these fake messages.

The tablet isn't intended to send or receive text messages, though it received a few in the past prior to me wiping it.

How can I stop these fake messages appearing?

texts: Any way to make Text to Speech not mute the background audio, but just turn it down?

texts:
I'm coming back to Android from iOS, having been a heretic for a few years.  I'm using a Nexus 6P.

The most jarring bit of the transition has been my phone's muting of music being played over bluetooth for text to speech.  I use Waze for driving, and listen to either music or podcasts during the drive.  Waze is a rather chatty program, but on iOS it was only slightly annoying.  iOS reduces the volume of whatever you're listening to when speaking;  my 'Droid is just flat out muting everything else to speak.

I find my Nexus' system to be really disorienting, especially during podcasts.  Suddenly, the voice I'm listening to changes, it's at a much louder volume than whatever the mixer on the podcast was set at, it shouts some street names at me, and then I get back to the podcast, and I've lost where the speaker was at in their point.  While I couldn't understand the podcast under the directions on iOS, I at least didn't get disoriented, because I could hear that the conversation was still "flowing" behind the directions.

Android's incredibly flexible, so I'm holding out hope that there's a setting or software I can install to do this.

texts: Initiate voice recording via Bluetooth dialling in car

texts:
I drive a car with a built-in hands-free interface to a Bluetooth phone (it's a Volkswagen Passat).  From the "on-board computer" interface in the dashboard, I can select an entry from my contact list and dial that number to talk to them.

I often find that, as I am driving along, I have a thought that I would like to remember by recording a voice memo to myself.  The only way I know of doing this is to unlock my Android phone, start a voice recording application and hit the record button.  By the time I've typed my pin number into my Android phone to unlock it, this is already very unsafe while I'm driving along, so I don't want to do this!

Is there anyway I can set up my phone such that if I dial some "special" number (#*#*# or whatever) that, when I call it will just record my voice rather than actually dialling an external number?  I could then program this number in to my contacts list and access it via the buttons on the steering wheel of my car.

Ideally, when I hang up the call I'd like it to email me the recording, but that may be going too far...

This would also be useful on the motorbike where the phone is in my pocket, but I can dial numbers (when safe to do so) via the Garmin Zumo 660 GPS.  If I stop at some traffic lights, I can quickly dial a number on the GPS, but I certainly wouldn't have time to take my gloves off, unzip my jacket, take my phone out and run a voice recording application!

texts: Android keep saying "SD Card is mounted, do you want to change your default storage"

texts:
About two days ago, I received this notification. At first, I just click on "Change",and in setup, set default storage to SD Card. I'm using Android 4.2.2.
But, this is happening in every half hour... I rooted my phone about 2 mounts ago,installed link2sd,and created second partition on my 16Gb SD Card. Both partitions are marked as Primary and both are FAT32. It's worked very well until 2 days ago. When I receive notification about SD Storage, my whole second partition stop working. Every apps on second partition is "unreachable" and I must restart my phone.
Do you know how to "fix" this, because, my SD Card is ok,it's seems that android unmount and mount SD Card and show this notification automaticly.

EDIT:
I forgot to mention, when I format whole SD Card,and delete second partition, this notification is not showing,but,again,when I create second partition, notification is shown on my home screen,and keep asking me to change default storage.


texts: Nexus 6 NFC & Phone Stop working on setup. Cant flash!

texts:
Basically when i start up the device right after a factory reset, it boots up just like it should, but it then says that Phone stopped working. Then it says the nfc process stopped working. The second you press ok, they pop up again. BUT there is a split milisecond before they pop up again. SO, for the past hour, i have been pressing the ok button twice, then dialing in one key on the keyboard before they pop up again.

However i have ran into an issue. The bottom buttons "next" dont work. I have tried many times but it seems like i cant continue :(

The OEM is LOCKED
Since it is reset, i cant unlock it without going into the settings

How am i supposed to get the messages away? Fix? Anything?


texts: Stuck in a boot loop with no explanation why

texts:
Device: 2012 ZTE Score
Android version : Stock 2.3.4 Gingerbread
Status : Never rooted

I was right about to charge it when the battery died and the OS shut down the power. I reconnect it to charge while it's off, and unplugged after about 30 minutes. It starts up and works fine, but stays in a loop between the MetroPCS bitmap shown before loading the lock screen and the ZTE animation binary that comes after the initial Android logo. I left it sitting and it did those 50 times in a row.

I have tried clearing the Cache in Safe Mode and rebooting but nothing helped.

Note: I do not want to Factory Restore it because nothing is backed up and there are important files in the Internal Storage which cannot be accessed externally (at least from what I know).

Can anyone explain why this is happening?

All boot loop issues I find online are occurring and circulated around the notion that this only happens when files conflict, usually associated with custom ROMs and such but I have never done any of that or altered anything, as well as any program I'm aware of.

It has done this boot loop error before but it would always eventually get out of it, but this time it's been doing it non-stop all day no matter what I've tried. What could I do?

texts: What are the contents of ipconfig.txt file on Samsung i9070?

texts:
I've got the aforementioned phone, Samsung i9070. However, for some reason (after mucking around with various ROM's) wifi stopped working at all. Theoretically I can turn it on and off, but no networks can be found.

When flicking the wifi switch on, following log gets written to adb logcat:

E/WifiConfigStore( 2341): Error parsing configuration: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /data/misc/wifi/ipconfig.txt: open failed: ENOENT (No such file or directory)
E/WifiConfigStore( 2341): readNetworkHistory: No config file, revert to defaultjava.io.FileNotFoundException: /data/misc/wifi/networkHistory.txt: open failed: ENOENT (No such file or directory)
E/WifiConfigStore( 2341): ctrl_interface=/data/misc/wifi/sockets

D/wifi    ( 2341): getting scan capabilities on interface[1] = 0x469e95f8
D/wifi    ( 2341): failed to get capabilities : -95

I'm guessing the missing /data/misc/wifi/ipconfig.txt file is the problem here (Or something's wrong with the radio, but I'd rather not try to reflash OEM's 4.1 yet, as it's a hassle installing recovery and cyanogen again), and other roms I tried do not have that file, it seems.

So, anybody that has that phone could please copy me the contents of that file?

texts: Run downloaded shell command without root?

texts:
My phone is a Galaxy S3, not rooted.  I have "ES File Explorer" and "Terminal Emulator" installed.

I downloaded an Android build of 'wget', intending to execute it from the Terminal Emulator app.  The file currently exists in
/storage/sdcard0/Download (which is an internal partition, not a physical SD card) as:

-rw-rw-r-- root sdcard_rw 241974 2016-03-11 wget

./wget gives Permission denied.  chmod o+x wget gives "Bad mode"; this is apparently because Android's chmod only accepts octal digits; chmod 665 wget gives "Operation not permitted".  I can copy the file with "cp", so the filesystem is writable.

Other Q&A's here give several possible reasons for chmod failing on Android.  One is SD cards formatted with FAT which do not support permission bits; but as I say this is not actually an SD card. Another is the filesystem being mounted with "noexec".  My Android/Linux knowledge is way too lacking to check such things.

Is Android blocking me from executing wget by design? Is there a way to execute it without rooting my phone?


texts: How to add route with busybox (for specified destination and gateway)

texts:
I tried the code:

alias netstat='/system/xbin/busybox netstat'
alias grep='/system/xbin/busybox grep'
alias awk='/system/xbin/busybox awk'
alias route='/system/xbin/busybox route'

gateway=`netstat -rn | grep ^0\.0\.0\.0 | awk '{print $2}'`

route add -net 1.0.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw $gateway

It doesn't run and print out the manual for route command...

Does busybox support route add -net $des netmask $mask gw $gateway? If so what did I do wrong?

Update: I tried to update to magisk 12.0, and now it just shows applet not found instead...

So I did try /data/magisk/busybox route This gives me applet not found again. Then I tried /dev/busybox/route It prints '/dev/busybox/route not found'. I checked and the file '/dev/busybox/route' exists (as a shortcut), so I am not sure what is going on anymore. BTW, I did run su before I tried to run these commands.

Also if I run these commands line by line, I will get different error message than "not found" when I put them in a .sh file and run sh script.sh


texts: How to receive Whatsapp notification without vibration?

texts:
I am using Sony Xperia X, Android 6.0.1.

I have only managed to turn off the vibration of single and group chat messages by selecting "Off" under Vibrate and "Silent" under Notification tone.

The phone will still vibrate if I choose off under vibrate, and other than silent options under notification tone.

However, now without vibration, there isn't notification either whenever someone sends me a message. I am trying to receive message notification without vibration.

Such a simple permutation and I can't believe that I am still having trouble doing it.... OMG

Just tried on my Windows phone, same situation. Have to switch off whatsapp notification and vibration. Switching off vibration alone won't stop the phone from vibrating.


texts: Is there anyway to access and write data to the internal storage or System Storage from PC?

texts:
I tried to detect my Android storage in Windows. But Windows only detect one storage device, which is my external storage (when activated). How do I actually activate or share the internal storage, so that I could gain access the internal storage and write data onto it?

Final Objective:

Write binary data from PC into both internal and external storage.

Note:

For External: I found several ways of doing it. One is to Remove the external memory and plug it into the PC card reader and start writing. or we could share the storage media.

For Internal: I couldn't even detect the storage from the device nor I don't know how to remove the memory. Should it be while the power is off or on to be able to detect the internal memory from PC? Should I have a root access to the phone before able to do it? (I tried rooting the phone, but no luck)

first of all everytime i reboot i find the same apps installed , pics and missed calls no matter how many times i erase all that and if i installed new apps every reboot it's not there, I wanted to get it back to stock as new but i couldn't and here what i have tried :-

1-couldn't flash stock or custom recovery [failed (Remote : Not allowed)] cuz bootloader is locked, And i couldn't unlock bootloader .

-(after getting unlock code from HTCdev.com and installing it and after selecting yes on the phone to unlock bootloader, phone just reboots)

2-tried to flash RUU (3.30.651.2 & 4.25.651.14) Wizard while phone was on fastboot mode

https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=AC7BF...d=root&o=OneUp

-Phone couldn't boot into bootloader while on fastboot mode so it reboots regularly.

3-tried to flash RUU (3.30.651.2 & 4.25.651.14) wizard while phone was on

https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=AC7BF...%21341&o=OneUp

-did the first steps ok but again when wizard is waiting for bootloader while phone was in fastboot mode, it just reboot regularly.

4-tried renaming another (4.25.651.14) RUU to 0P6BIMG.zip and put it on sd-card and went to Hboot.

https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=AC7BF...%21341&o=OneUp

-after clicking yes to confirm the update, Phone rebooted in the middle of the steps .

5-tried flashing same 0P6BIMG.zip from recovery mode.

https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=AC7BF...%21341&o=OneUp

-after 3 mins of hope crushed by verifying update package.... - Installation aborted....

6-tried flashing RUU.zip via fastboot

texts: Data still in storage after factory reset

texts:
I am trying to sell my Note 3 and performed a factory reset both from the Home + Power + Volume Up menu, as well as the settings -> Factory reset menu.

Both approaches seem successful at resetting the device as nothing remains on the phone's interface and I go through all the screen like the first day I bought it.

The only issue is when I connect the device to the computer via USB, it appears all the data is still in storage, just not on the user interface of the phone. Any idea why this is?

I would like to completely wipe everything off the phone so the storage is as empty as it can be.


texts: Security on a Nexus 6P purchased on Ebay

texts:
I purchased a used Nexus 6P on ebay to replace my current 6P, because the camera has failed.
The seller indicates that the new phone has been factory reset, but I'd like to be sure that there is no spyware hidden deep in the system.
On a desktop machine I would erase the hard drive, install the operating system of my choice, and be confident that most reasonable vectors of attack were removed. (Sure, he could've hidden something in the firmware of a device or whatever else, but I'm not worried about that level of sophistication).
I'm not sure how Android factory resets work, but given that the phone's memory is never completely erased, I worry that a malicious actor could have put bad software into the image that the factory reset restores from.
Is this a valid concern?  If so, is there a way to address it and be sure that my phone is not sending all of my information to some one else (other than google)?

texts:
EDIT: I think the question is more confusing than helpful. I leave it up simply because something else has been closed as a duplicate to this.
My problem was finally solved by flashing a completely fresh stock android.

With my Galaxy S i9000 (galaxysmtd), I can only access download and recovery mode after flashing some recovery kernel via odin.
The latter was done to escape the boot loop that my installed cyanogenmod 9 was stuck in.

Installing the cyanogenmod cm-9.1.0-galaxysmtd.zip from the sdcard from within the recovery mode gives me an error 7.
This is supposedly because the recovery kernel I flashed was unfit.

My idea now is to flash only the kernel of the cyanogenmod-9.1.0-galaxysmtd as an odin-pda file, boot into recovery again and to then install the full ROM that is still on my sdcard, which should be possible then.

Because I can't boot the phone normally, I don't know how to put anything on the sdcard manually and have to use odin.

I have been reading though a lot of threads now, but the nomenclature seems to be used in such an inconsistent way that googling the right thing is almost impossible. I hope I expressed myself in sufficient clarity.

I'm working on a hobby project to stick a tablet in a car to replace the factory head unit. For this, I need to connect the reverse camera to the tablet (via USB, using something like an EasyCAP adapter), while the tablet being charged.

So far, I found that Lava SimulCharge adapter claims to do this. Although it's very picky about the devices it works with. (Exclusively a few Samsung Galaxy tabs with strict OS versions and even cable lengths)

I would like to know what other alternatives I have which can do this. (Prefer not being locked down only to the LAVA supported tablets, as they're quite expensive for my purpose.)

Is it a Samsung only feature? (seems like most Windows tablets support this out of the box across a number of OEMs. But haven't seen any Android device that isn't Samsung supporting this.)

Can I check which tablets have the support?

I prefer to do this without rooting the device.

texts: Google Sign-in not working in new Huawei devices: "There was a problem communicating with google servers"

texts:
Between the 11th and the 13th of September 2020 something has changed around the method used to log into Google accounts from new Huawei devices after installing Google Mobile Services (GMS).
Before, the method involved installing GMS-related apps and signing into the relevant Google accounts using browser sign-in (a legacy sign-in method kept for old android versions). However, it seems like just after Huawei announced Harmony OS, that backdoor was closed.
Is there any way to sign into Google accounts for GMS from a new Huawei device (such as a P40 pro)?

Disclaimer 1: I hope no one gets offended by this question being asked... I think that from a consumer perspective it is legit to try to find solutions to the side effects of what effectively seems to be a trade war.
At the end of the day, there are hundreds of thousands of users
affected by this situation and they are not the ones to blame for any conflict between governments and/or companies.

Disclaimer 2: The consequences of the ban get to an absurd level, is not just not having Google Play Store, but for example not being able to log into your Google account from your browser to sync passwords, history and bookmarks... Hope this helps people not experiencing the ban understanding the extent of it.


texts: Is there way to switch between proxy settings on ICS?

texts:
I have an Xperia S running 4.0.4. I often need to switch to a proxy for accessing a test server. I can do this fine by modifying my Wifi connection, selecting to show advanced options and then entering the proxy information manually.

The problem is that if I then need to disable the proxy, ICS 'forgets' the settings so I have to enter them manually each time. I need the proxy to work with Adobe Edge Inspect and so browser-specific proxy options are not the answer.

Is there a reputable third-party app which will let me switch between proxies for the current network connection?

After upgrading Marshmallow to Nougat I found that hosts-file based ad blockers do not work.
I have tried AdAway, setting it to use a symbolic link to the hosts file, and verifying via file explorer that the /etc/hosts file contains the desired content. AdAway also reports success in its ui.

But annoying ads continue to appear in my apps, interrupting my experience. AdAway DNS logs also continue to report hosts that should have been blocked, no matter I manually enter them in blacklist.

Did Google change the DNS resolution mechanism like Microsoft did in the past for Windows Update hosts (bypassing hosts file, source not yet available the time i am writing this post)?
Can I do something else to block annoying unwanted advertising?

texts: How can I selectively delete hundreds of SMS conversations?

texts:
I work in IT and I'm part of an on-call rotation.  Normally we use a dedicated on-call phone, but that's not available since covid, so I'm using my own device right now.  We had a major networking outage tonight which resulted in roughly 600 SMS notifications from our monitoring service to my phone.
The problem is that each one of these notifications comes from a different address (I don't know why/how that works).  So rather than 600 new messages in a single conversation, I now have ~600 new conversations in my Messaging app with a single message each.  I would like to delete them so I don't have to scroll through 600 conversations to find my conversations with friends.
Is there any way to bulk delete conversations based on some kind of search filter?  I did see this question, but the answers only address how to delete all SMS messages.  I would only like to delete the conversations which were generated by this incident.
I'm on a OnePlus 3T with LineageOS 17.1 (based on Android 10).  My phone is rooted so I can run adb commands on it from my Linux desktop.

texts: How to Limit Number of Recent Activity Screens

texts:
I'm amazed that A) I haven't looked for this sooner, and B) I couldn't find something that does this.

I simply want to limit the number of recent activity screens (cards) that appear when I hit the □ button.

EDIT:
My phone is an non-rooted LG Stylo 3 Plus, Android version 7.0 Software version TP45010m.
(Also, if anyone knows how to root this phone specifically, I'd like to hear it... I haven't been able to find a method that works for LG Stylo 3 Plus and have seen that this phone specifically is unable to be rooted.)
**

TL;DR:
Any time my 80-year-old mother asks me to help her with something on her smartphone (Does the day of the week end with "y"?), I tap the □ button to see her recent screens. She generally has like 47 recent cards listed there, as she never swipes them away or clears the list.

I'm aware of the concept that (generally speaking) these are more or less shortcuts to apps that have run, and that they (generally) use no memory while sleeping in this state, so swiping them away often won't conserve significant resources.

I'm also aware that I can "CLEAR ALL" cards (the button can be seen in my animation), but I don't want to do that, either.

The problem is that this is supposed to be an "easy" way to jump back and forth between apps that you use often, right? Doesn't it defeat that purpose if there are 47 cards to look through? Easier just to find the app in the app drawer and "restart" it.

I looked, first on playstore, then just searched the internet at large for something that would simply limit the number of recent cards on that screen to, say 5. Whenever you have 5 cards (or 10 or whatever) and you open a new app, the oldest would disappear.

I found a bunch of stuff that would "kill" an app or all apps, but this is counterproductive in my case, right? Doing this would reduce battery charge life because I would be using resources to turn it off, then use more resources to create a new instance of it the next time I want to use it—as opposed to just letting it sleep, where it uses very little resources and comes back to life quickly.

Bonus, same thing goes for her Chrome browser. 63 open tabs??!!??!! I found how to close all open tabs, but it would be nice to only have the 5 most recents there and remove the older ones.

I need to use of Google Play Store app for my project. This app is prepared by unknown to me Chinese GPS devices' manufacturer and I want to use it to communicate with device.

App is published on Google Play Store but uses old type of privileges. With installation I would agree to share "Device & app history", "Contacts", "Location", "Phone", "Photos/Media/Files", "Camera", "Microphone", "Device ID & call information" and more.

I don't feel comfortable to share all that data with unknown to me manufacturer and with untrusted app (1 star in shop), but I need to use this app (because it connects to my physical device).

Is there secure way to install that app? Can I be sure that for example app won't copy all my contacts to some shady server? (I can't block network for app, because that would also block communication).

How can I mitigate some risks or limit app capabilities? Should I be aware of some other risks (like app accessing Android Pay)?

texts: How can I disable automatic OTA updates on a Nexus device on Marshmallow?

texts:
With Google's new policy of issuing monthly security updates to Nexus devices going on from Marshmallow, me, the proud owner of a Nexus 9 (16GB,WiFi, Build version: MRA58K), has to dirty flash all the factory images every month just because Google issued a 4.0MB update, and I had to connect my tablet to WiFi just because I needed it.

Rather, I prefer to go manual and flash factory images to upgrade between major releases, and ignore those which come in between. So, these monthly OTA updates are a nuisance, even if all I have to do to not install it is ignore the notification it poses. The nuisance being that I have TWRP, root and ElementalX, and prefer to use OfficeSuite over Docs and have no use for Fit - hence I've uninstalled (removed) those system apps, which makes the updates unable to install anyway.

So, the question:

What service(s) or process(es) is/are responsible for downloading this update? Which app are they a part of? And, most importantly, Can I Disable the offending app/process/service without otherwise affecting my system? (That includes interfering with GAPPs in any way)

NOTE: I know the notification is presented by Google Play Services, I checked that. I want to know what processes/services are responsible for downloading the update, not showing the notification.

Edit:

For all those voting to close the question as a duplicate, I have not encountered an answer which satisfies my requirements in the referenced question which this has been thought to be a duplicate of. For future notice, I not only wish to disable the notification, but the updater service as well. Also, the answer provided in the linked question will potentially affect other components of my system, not just the OTA Updater, as it involves disabling all or just notifications from "Google Play Services", which is not at all what I want (I understand what that app is, and disabling any part of it is not in my best interests. So, anything not involving GAPPs is a better solution (since I am heavily dependent on them, excepting the Docs suite).

Edit:

I had since moved on to the PureNexus ROM and rid myself of these issues. Now I have manually upgraded to Android 7.0, and I don't use the device as much anymore. So these answers are not applicable to me any longer, but this question is a good reference point for others with a similar concern.

texts: General difference in read/write speeds for internal memory vs SD card

texts:
I understand that read/write speeds are dependent on what the phone is, and what the SD card is, but since both are flash memory, I thought the read/write times would pretty much be around the same. I also understand from this question, why it's safer to keep apps on the internal storage: internal memory Vs SD card

But then I learned that “Flash memory speed is not tied to a maximum data transfer speed like USB standards.” source, which I guess is something I should have guessed from just knowing how the read/write speeds vary wildly across from devices. From reading a lot of other material online, I have also learned that apps generally run better from internal storage than from SD cards, except for cases where the SD card I/O speed is better than the phones'. However, looking at this article, it seems most of the phones' write speeds are slower than a Class 10 SD card's minimum write speed, and I couldn't find minimum read speeds for SD cards, so couldn't compare those, so I'm wondering why everyone's benchmark tests showed wild differences between the 2. My question is, in general cases with modern phones, is reading and writing files and media (not Apps) to internal phone storage faster than to an SD card?

On a thread on [XDA forums][3], I saw that rooting a phone allows one to increase the read/write speeds of a phone to an SD card. What happens to the phone that allows the jump in read/write speeds?

texts: Is there a way to get my android phone to stop going back to the beginning of a song when I disconnect my bluetooth audio?

texts:
I have an Android phone (a Motorola Droid, running android 2.2) that I use with my car's bluetooth audio.  When I turn on the car, it will automatically conenct to the Droid and tell it to play, which automatically starts the music app and begins playing.  (I like that--that's what I want.)  Then when I turn the car off while playing, the music app automatically stops.  (I also like that.)  But when it stops in response to the car turning off, it goes immediately back to the beginning of the song, which I don't like.  I'd like it to pause when the car is turned off, and pick up in the middle of the song where it left off.

I don't even know exactly what's happening behind the scenes to cause this.  Is the car sending the phone a "stop" command when it turns off, which causes the phone to go back to the beginning of the track?  I'm not sure how to find out.  While the car is on, the only commands it supports are "play," "pause," "next," and "previous," which which do what you would expect.  I don't see any options available on the phone or on the car that would obviously control this behavior.

So I guess I'd like to know a) if there's a way to change this on the phone, and b) is there a way to tell exactly what commands the car is sending to the phone and when?  Some sort of log that can be enabled maybe?

My phone should have rotation completely disabled - i.e. "Auto-Rotate" icon in fast settings pulldown is grey, "Settings->Display->When device is rotated" says "Stay in portrait view", "Settings->Accessibility->Auto-rotate screen" is off. Actually they seem like shortcut to a same single setting, because they all change simultaneously when I change any of them.

Despite all that, when I turn the phone upside down or when vibration makes it think that it was turned upside down, image rotates upside down too.

It is extremely distracting, as I never actually do it myself - it would be uncomfortable to use hardware buttons - but pretty much any vibration in application makes phone think that it was turned for a moment. I always have to shake it a few times to make it turn back afterwards. Disabling vibration is not an option because it is used for important alerts and I often use have volume down or use phone in noisy environment.

Is there a way to completely disable this rotation?

texts: how to delete system apps from stock rom before flashing in windows

texts:
I want to remove apps from stock rom.

Tool that I used is "MTK extractor".

I unpacked system.img using MTK exractor tool, after unpacking I got "system " folder.

One youtube tutorial told me if I want to remove system apps, all I have to do is to delete apps from system/app folder.

I deleted browser.apk(built in browser), drive, google sheet, doc. And repacked the system folder.

I got system.img file again.

I flashed it using sp flash tool.

But now when I powered on my phone, it stuck on phone logo and its not powering on.

Please guide me how to remove system apps from stock rom, also I want to add some additional apps to stock rom like messenger. So how to add custom apps into stock rom

I mostly use my computer for email, but obviously when I'm on the go it's good to have my email accessible at all times. That's what the email app is for, right?

So I have it set up to download emails, but to never delete them from the server. Essentially this is the same as I have on my laptop. Only my main computer is set to delete emails from the server when I delete them from my inbox.

The point is, while this works fine on my laptop, my phone will keep downloading the same emails, even when I hit the "Delete" button to remove them from my phone's inbox. Strangely, though, it will only do this a few hours after they were deleted (the mailbox is set to update every 15 minutes), and usually only when I receive a new email or two.

In other words, when I get a new email, the phone will start downloading some old emails seemingly at random.

What gives, and how do I fix it?


texts: Barcode scanner and touch keyboard in Android

texts: If I connect the barcode scanner via blue-tooth with my Android tablet, the soft keyboard will be switched off and I can not visible the keyboard any longer. I have to disconnect the barcode reader first. Is there a way to use both (barcode scanner and touch keyboard)in the same time?


texts: Force single application to communicate over data plan -- NOT Wifi

texts:
This is the opposite of most questions out there.

My friend's work has blocked a chat application, but she still wants to be able to use the wifi there for the rest of her internet needs.

Is there any way she can have just the chat application use the cell network (getting around the block) and have the rest of her browsing routed over wifi?


texts: Is there a way to auto-reply to blocked SMS messages?

texts: I wish to block numbers from text messaging me, but with an auto-reply. I tried every single suggestion here and other places and for one reason or another, they would not do this for me. The built in spam filter, or call reject, won't reply to text messages that are being blocked in it's spam list. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy Avant.


texts: Why does my HTC desire mount the SD card in read only mode?

texts:
I have a new HTC desire. After 3 days of use it started mounting the SD card in read only mode. I couldn't mount it in read-write mode until I formated the card in another phone.

I read somewhere on the HTC forums that this may be caused by plugging the phone in a Mac. But this doesn't make any sense to me. I did plug the phone in a Mac the first time, but this didn't start happening after that. It started happening after I've plugged the phone in a Windows 7 pc. I've never used the phone plugged in a computer in sync mode, it was either used as a mass storage device or in charge only mode (which was the case before this problem ocured). Of all the portable devices I've used that could be used as a mass storage there's never been a problem if I've used them with OS X, Linux or Windows. So I don't find the OS X explanation satisfactory. From what I know all operating systems will handle mass storage devices in the same way more or less especially if it's a FAT filesystem.

Has anyone else experienced this problem?


texts: Dragging home button opens Google Search - How do I remove this?

texts:
Ever since I bought my tablet, this has been the default action whenever I drag the home button up (this is a soft button: on screen). I do not want this functionality because I frequently drag it by accident whenever I play games. This will bring up Google Search and interrupt my game.

Screenshots:

When dragging homescreen, a half-circle with Google on top appears / Google Search brought up (click images for larger variants)

Again, how do I disable this behavior?

If it helps, I am using a Pipo U1 Pro tablet with the default OS (not rooted).
