texts: Kindle Fire HD (Tate) boot loop, after attempt to install CM

texts:
I attempted to install Cyanogenmod on my Tate, according to the directions in the Wiki.

https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_tate

At Step 3, number 5 (fastboot -i 0x1949 oem recovery), the kindle does not boot to recovery, but just shows the logo, and then goes back to Fastboot, even with a non-fastboot cable.

If I restart without a cable attached, I get a boot loop (even when I hold down the volume button, as described).

Perhaps this is relevant: before I started all of this, my Tate was already rooted. Was it stupid to apply the exploit in that case? I only realized this later. If so, is there any way out?

BTW, I'm on Linux, have a working adb and a fastboot cable.

Thanks!


texts: Modify settings parameters through database

texts:
I have been able to successfully modify and update the settings in the Android phone using ADB commands such as these..

Enable GPRS data:

adb shell sqlite3 -batch /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db "update system SET value='1' where name='gprs_connection_setting'";

Enable GPS :

adb shell sqlite3 -batch /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db "update secure SET value='gps' where name='location_providers_allowed'";

While these were successful, I couldn't find the database or xml where the option for enabling disable data while roaming can be modified. I have been trying with many databases one after another with no luck. Can anyone help me in pointing the database or xml which gets modified (from the settings are taken) for the data roaming setting:

I don't know exactly when it happened, but for sure after the upgrading to 5.0 Lollilop. Now, to open the pics, I have to launch camera and then swipe to the right.
Did it happen to someone else? Does anybody know how to solve it?
Thanks


texts:
I just started using TiddlyWiki, I appreciate very much its technology agnostic paradigm and am convinced it is the right tool to manage my notes. I need to access my notes from both my computer (Linux) and my phone (Android).

I have successfully created Wiki files with Firefox and TiddlyDesktop on my computer, that are being automatically synchronised to a ownCloud server. On my phone the ownCloud client synchronises these files correctly and I am able to open them with the browser. However, I am unable to edit the TiddlyWiki files with either Firefox or Chrome on the phone (none of the buttons functions).

How can I edit on Android these TiddlyWiki files synchronised from ownCloud?

texts:
I've been trying to restore contacts from a vCard backup I have (VCF file) to the SIM card.
So far I managed to do it, but only through an app called "Simple contacts - Easy contact manager" (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simplemanage.contactsapp&hl=en_US&gl=US). From there, I can click Import from VCF file and it will have the option to select the SIM card "account". When I try from the Contacts app, no such "account" appears, and I can only select PHONE or Google Account. So I think the app enables the option from the Contacts app, which might be locked because of any non-sense reason (unless it's because of what I'll say in a bit, and if it is, I'd like to know why they didn't fix it...). When I try to do this, all contacts are restored perfectly with absolutely no errors. Though, after a restart, all are gone from the SIM card. No trace. No explanation also...
From another idea, I've also not found another app that imports from VCF to the SIM card directly, so I restored to the phone (perfect restoration) and copied to the SIM card. This ended up in one of 2 ways only: either the names would be incomplete many when there are special characters on them (it would cut them for some reaason), or it would still cut the names, but less times and only with one app which I don't remember anymore because I've been trying various (if needed I can look for it).
In some cases, they will be shown perfectly on the app that copied them, but when I open the Contacts app, their names will be cut.
Since it seems to have to do with special characters, I've thought in being related with encodings (the encoding used on the phone memory). A wrong encoding could be taking too much space for the SIM card to store or something, but no idea, just came to my mind.
Does anyone know a decent way of restoring the contacts to the SIM card...? I don't want to be forced to go get my Nokia Navigator or another one even older I have from 2008 (the Navigator at least I know it can do this because I used to do it, the other one I'm not sure) to do something an Android phone (much more recent and more powerful) can't and should be able to do, every time from now on.
Thanks in advance for any help!

I just replace the screen+lcd on my nexus 6p and the compass stopped working (this is not just a calibration issue, it looks like the compass chip is dead).

I think that I might have damaged the compass chip while replacing the screen. Do you know where the chip inside the phone so I can check? I looked online for circuit labels, but could not find anything regarding the location of the compass. I hope it's not just embedded in the motherboard.

texts: Device always boots in recovery mode, but apparently there is no recovery partition

texts:
We have a BSNL Penta IS709c (cheapest tablet currently available / Oct 2012) running Android 4.0.

Feeling adventurous, I issued reboot recovery through adb and the device tried to reboot in recovery mode. However turns out that there is probably no recovery partition and the device is stuck at following screen. Rebooting the device doesn't help and it always boots to following screen.

So, what can I do to boot it back in normal mode? I'd also like to point out that this device does not has Volume Up and Volume Down buttons. Available 4 physical buttons are Power/Home/Menu/Back.

Obviously, that means that with the new version of the App, some configuration must be changed. Do any body knows what are these new configurations?

texts: Why does Android check email and play store when sync is off

texts:
At night, or at work, my Android is usually offline. For me it's enough to only check email when I like to do so.

However, every time (or most times?) I switch on mobile data on wifi on my phone, it also seems to sync email (corporate Exchange account only, NOT the gmail app), and also checks for Play store updates for my apps. Same goes for Cyanogenmod updates.

Why does it do so? What's the use in turning off Sync, when apps can just ignore the setting and run background checks whenever they like?

texts: Install Android TV app on mobile Android

texts:
I have a Wetek Play 2 Android media player. It has "normal"/mobile Android 6 as operating system. I would like to be able to install Android TV apps (the OS in some smart tv). However they are not visible for me in Google play store. Is there a safe way to get Android TV apps for mobile Android?

Edit:
As an answer to @beeshyams (who says it is not possible to install TV apps on a mobile device):
The alternate app market Aptiode has a TV version called Aptiode TV. From their web page it says:

  Aptoide TV brings you an app store that offers content with a rich
  user experience, optimized for the larger screen devices, such as
  high-definition televisions. Yep, it means that you can use Aptoide
  not only in your mobile devices, but also in the comfort of your
  couch.

I have tried installing two apps from that store and I could start them but they crashed when I tried to view some streaming contents. Probably because the versions of the apps supplied by Aptoide TV were outdated.

So I think that it is possible to install Android TV apps on a mobile version of Android. (I understand that they are not intended for mobile.)


texts: TWRP 3.0.0.0 Failed to Restore Correctly

texts:
I backed up my Nexus 9 and then did a CyanogenMod update, which then lead to me not being able to use WiFi. So I went back to TWRP and restored my backup which was 5GB. It consisted of my apps and games nothing major – but once I rebooted I had no apps or Gapps was like a did a hard reset. So I went and restored a even older backup which I call my baseline backup which is consists of a fresh CM13 and Gapps install, so I had to start over none the less and redownload everything.

Any ideas what went bad? I'm kinda scared to rely on TWRP backup now or to even update CM.

The SD card is a SanDisk microSDXC Class 10 64GB, which was initially formatted from within the Nokia 8 on first use, as was required for some reason.


texts: What Android device manufacturers supply their devices with longer software update life cycles than Google supplies its Nexus and Pixel devices?

texts:
Google's software update life cycle policy for Nexus and Pixel devices is that:
1. They "get Android version updates for at least 2 years from when the device became available on the Google Store. After 2 years, we can't guarantee additional updates."
2. They "get security patches for at least 3 years from when the device first became available, or at least 18 months from when the Google Store last sold the device, whichever is longer."
Source: https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/4457705?hl=en

Are there any manufacturers that give their devices longer life cycles than Google gives Nexus and Pixel devices when it comes to Android version updates, security patches, or both?

In addition, if possible, please tell me how rapidly these manufacturers provide Android version updates and/or monthly security updates, in comparison to how rapidly Google provides them to Nexus and Pixel devices.

texts: Copy files from Linux to Android without any OS

texts:
I'm trying to install lineage 15.1 on my old Sony Xperia V LT25i, which has had a couple of other OS's since the original. When I started the process I could not access the internal memory at all, neither from the phone itself or from my laptop.

I downloaded the OS zip file and the Open Gapps zip I want and started to follow this tutorial. I managed to run the $ fastboot flash boot boot.img command using sudo but now I need to copy the zip files to the phone memory which no longer has a running OS.

I tried using the adb push command but I get an error saying that the device is unauthorized. Running adb devices confirms this:

List of devices attached
CB5A1MMV58  unauthorized

I then tried to find a way to change it from unauthorized to recovery and found a
YouTube tutorial which is supposed to solve it, however when I put the phone in recovery mode and run the cd ~/.android && adb push adbkey.pub /data/misc/adb/adb_keys I get this:

adb: error: connect failed: device unauthorized.
This adb server's $ADB_VENDOR_KEYS is not set
Try 'adb kill-server' if that seems wrong.
Otherwise check for a confirmation dialog on your device.

I tried running adb kill-server and then running the above command but I still get the same result. As I do not currently have a running OS on the phone I can not enable ADB directly on the phone.

Any ideas on how I can solve this?

I'm setting up some devices with a custom rom and my own custom app zip. Generally it works fine but I've found that some apps misbehave when installed into the system partition. What usually happens is that the app starts successfully but later crashes or just refuses to work properly.

Why would an app work properly with installed to /data but not when installed to /system ?

The apk files are installed to /system/app or /system/priv-app and their libraries are unpacked into /system/vendor/lib.

(hopefully irrelevant to the question but the device in question is Amazon Fire KFFOWI with ResurrectionRemix custom rom which is Android 5.1.1).


texts: Annoying functionality of suggestions in newer version of Google keyboard

texts:
I recently updated my version of Android on my Nexus 4 and this is a really annoying thing I noticed.

In previous versions (I was on 4.0), the word that was typed displayed as the middle suggestion.  This was ideal, as I never had to advert my eyes from the soft keyboard (I use the swipe typing, so this makes a big difference.

The newer version does not do this; instead, it displays three possible alternates.  It's far less efficient and extremely annoying.

There's no specific setting I can find to change this.  Is there any way to change this back or some obscure commination of settings that will cause this functionality?

texts: Android tablet disconnects from wifi every ten minutes

texts:
I have a Galaxy Tab A Wifi only version (SM-T580), running Android 8.1.0. It is unrooted.

Every ten or fifteen minutes or so, the wifi drops out. After about 30 seconds or so, it reconnects. No other device on my network has this issue.

Less frequently, the Bluetooth connection drops out, which I suspect might be an associated issue. I usually have the tablet connected to Bluetooth speakers, and every now and the sound will cut out for about twenty seconds, then return.

I have searched online for solutions, and the general advice is to switch from DHCP to static, which I have done. Beyond that I can't get any more specific information.

Is there any kind of test I can run to determine why this is happening?

I usually use my phone without a lock screen, so I can start using it by just pressing a button. Problem is, the camera and volume buttons on my Motorola Milestone are really light, and are easy to press accidentally in my pocket.

Since it already has a proximity sensor, is there a way I can tell it to completely ignore key presses when the proximity sensor detects something? My intention is to keep it from activating the touch screen if I accidentally press one of the physical buttons while it's in my pocket.

EDIT To be clear:
I want the safety of not activating my phone when it's in my pocket, and I want the convenience of not having to go through an unlock-the-screen step when it's not in my pocket.

It might be asking too much, but I thought I'd give it a try. I've read that Tasker might be able to achieve that, but I don't really know how it works and have no idea if it supports that functionality.


texts: What are the implications of an old Android version?

texts:
There have been various bugs and security flaws found in different versions of Android. Many have been pached in newer versions, but the non-updated devices remain bugged/vulnerable.

My questions are:

Are all Androids with the same version bugged/vulnerable in the same way, e.g., does a Samsung running 4.0 have the same problems as a Sony running 4.0 or as a Nexus device running 4.0?
Is there an overview somewhere what bugs (and especially which security flaws) are there in which versions? Many devices sold today do not run the newest Android; can I tell before buying which bugs/security problems I might encounter? (I am not interested in missing features introduced by newer versions)

Just to make it clear: bugs that can be solved by updating some apps are not relevant. (They are relevant if the update solving the issue would require a newer Android version).

So far, using QR codes generated from two different sites (http://qrickit.com/qrickit_apps/qrickit_qrcode_creator_vcal.php and http://blog.qr4.nl/QR-Code-Calendar-Event.aspx), I've tried three apps. Two of them (QuickMark Lite and QR Barcode Scanner) misinterpreted the dates, and the one that got the dates right (AT&T Code Scanner) didn't know what to do with it after decoding (all it could do was decode it, and display it lamely in a text window).


texts:
I have a huge problem with my Huawei Y530 cell phone.

Today I received a phone call, but instead of actually ringing, it just vibrated once, and an error message popped up saying something along the lines of "the com. android. phone process has stopped".

No matter how many times I tapped on the OK, it wouldn't go away.

I naturally held the Power on/off button to reset it, but to no avail.

Since that moment, it's been stuck on the logo.
I tried to do a factory reset, but I am afraid it didn't do much.
It was stuck on a generic "android" logo for over 10 minutes.
Tried again removing the battery, doing the Power on/off and Volume up to get the system menu and reboot, but nothing.

It charges normally when I plug it in, if it means anything.

I tried the factory reset through the Power on/off and Volume up many times, and now it is stuck on the generic Android logo (just the word android, no robot anywhere).

I know it's an old phone, but I don't have money for a new one, so I am hoping that there maybe is something to be done so it can work.

Many thanks in advance to all who read and comment!!!


texts: Mount Android device directly in Mac OS X Finder

texts:
I have a Nexus 5 and I have to use Android File Transfert to copy/check my files.

It's working but it's not enough for me.

For example, if I want to see my picture, there is only a list view, no thumbnail. Also, if I want to upload a picture on a website, my phone doesn't shows up in Finder so, first I have to copy my file to my SSD then I can see it.

Maybe it's possible to use Samba or anything else to make my Android device shows up directly in Finder ?

texts: Call someone automatically after receiving an app notification

texts:
I'm fairly new to android, I just want to know if it is possible to implement a feature on an app that when you would receive a push notification it will call a specific number or send a sms.
Ive been searching through this site and what I found most similar to this it involves clicking on the notification so that it makes the call afterwards but not right away automatically as soon as you receive notification.
So the objective would be something like this: a cellphone or tablet is awaiting for a push notification from an app at night when it  receives push notification it sends a sms or call to another cellphone which could be mine or someone else, is ti something doable that call intents can do this automatically without you having to interact with the device that will receive the push notification?

texts: IMEI spoofing won't fix invalid Sim Card

texts:
I recently bought a second-hand LG Pro Lite. I restored it to its factory settings. For a few days, it worked properly. A week or so later, I had no phone service. Everything else works fine.

As I boot my device, the messages displayed are as follow (one changes into the next):

Service Disabled
No Service
Invalid SIM Card

I have tested the SIM card in another device and it works fine. I have tested other SIM cards in my device, none work.

My best guess is that the previous owner (which can no longer be found) reported it as Stolen and provided its IMEI No., thus rendering the device useless with the carrier. (?)

I want to make the best out of a bad situation, so I rooted my device and changed my IMEI using XPOSED Framework, rebooted it and... nothing. It was properly changed, but still no service. Is there anything else I can try to use it fully?

texts: UVC/UTV007/HTV600 driver support for Galaxy Tab S2 or Galaxy Tab E

texts:
I'm planning to connect a reverse camera to an android tablet.

I am using the famous EasyCAP device to get the analog RCA signal to USB input.

I have tried this with a few apps and turns out they rely on a kernel mode driver which may or may not be included in a given device.

My Nexus 5X works well, but my Galaxy Tab A 7" (2016) doesn't seem to have it. (Go FPV app says it can't find the driver)

So my question is, is there a list of device models that I can refer to, to find a device that has the driver? My target is to use a Galaxy Tab S2 or a Galaxy Tab E (due to another constraint for my project)

How can I find out which of these 2 devices will include the kernel mode driver I need?

Another option is to use the popular EasyCAP Viewer app which is paid, since Arksine's Easycam project here suggests that app uses a user-mode driver which doesn't rely on the kernel mode driver to be present. I'm not sure whether it is true.

texts: Mysterious heavy battery drain during device sleep since update to M

texts:
I recently updated my Note 3 to Marshmallow, using the resurrection remix rom, and I am experiencing excessive battery drain I cannot pinpoint the source of.

I am a very light device user, prior to updating to M I was using an Lollipop based mod - xnote, and my phone lasted for up to 10 days.

The drain appears to manifest randomly, I cannot tie it to anything in particular, sometimes it goes away after a device reboot, sometime it persists, it has triggered during my sleep, when the phone is completely idle, no wifi or whatsoever. I've taken care to prevent third party applications for running on boot and keeping the device away, and as the phone information shows, the CPU is in sleep 98-99% of the time. It is not the battery either, as until last week it could easily last a week, the battery itself has no more than 200 discharge cycles. I have disabled NFC, WIFI, GPS, bluetooth and pretty much everything non-essential yet the battery drains heavily while the phone is sleeping, doing nothing. Also the phone is set to "power save" settings.

Here is what I am talking about:

The image above shows battery levels from one reboot, with the drain persisting after the reboot, draining half of the battery in 12 hours of idling, as is obvious from the images below. Then shortly before 4 PM I did another reboot which removed the drain.

Here is another image, illustrating a longer period with and without the drain, absent the drain the phone loses 2-3% battery a day.

Any ideas how to pinpoint the source of the drain and prevent it? Marshmallow was supposed to improve battery life, but in my experience so far battery life with it is terrible.

Sometimes I find in sdcard files and directories for which I can't guess the app that created them (and I know they are not the default files created by the system).

texts: Restoring deleted video on Android Marshmellow

texts:
I accidentally deleted a video on my Nexus 5 running Android (6.0.1) Marshmellow. The device uses internal storage only. I'd like to recover the video and from what I already know from the Internet, there are desktop/mobile apps that can recover the file.

The problem is, all of the apps I've tried need root access to the system. Rooting the phone, on the other hand, will can wipe all my data (see the comments below), as far as I understood the process correctly. So, ironically, if I root, there will be no file to be restored.

1. Is there any way to recover the lost file without the root access?

or

2. Can I root the phone without deleting all its data?

texts:
I have been having a problem with my Android 2.3.3 Samsung Galaxy S, that it was shutting 2 essential applications down: messaging app and call protocol. I have been tracing the cause of that by looking phone logs with SDK in eclipse. I have spotted this error:
I/ActivityManager(524): Low Memory: No more background processes.

So I assume this is the reason for the crash... eitherway I want to understand, why I do not have enough memory. I do not have many apps running in the background and I am very careful with what I am installing. I have looked at the memory allocation in eclipse DDMS view and there were:
217 MB (75 %) was unknown,
8 MB (3 %) free
1 MB (0 %) buffers
35 MB (12 %) inactive
14 MB (5 %) slab
12 MB (4 %) page tables.

Of course now I want to know what that unknown place means. Because if I force close some system services or app services I can only reduce unknown allocation down to 55 - 60 %.

How can I find out what this unknown memory usage is?

My Android is 4.4.

Sometimes when I leave home, my phone changes from connecting to my home wifi to connecting to its mobile network.

When I arrive a place with wifi, e.g. an office or back to my home again, my phone sometimes can't connect to wifi, although sometimes it can. When the problem happens,  I refresh the wifi networks detected by my phone, and disable and enable the phone's wifi, but both doesn't solve the problem.

For my phone to connect to wifi again, my solution is to restart Android.

Is there a solution without restarting Android? For example, can I disable and then enable, and restart wifi connection?

texts: How to force Google Photos to sync photos to the cloud?

I just took a picture with my phone and a few seconds later I refreshed Google Photos on my computer and the picture was there.  But then I took a second picture and five minutes of refreshing later the picture is still not there!  This has basically ruined what I was trying to do, as I was relying on being able to quickly download pictures between shots.

I was on WiFi the whole time.  There was less than one minute between the first and second picture.  I don't see any indications that anything is uploading or that anything failed.  I have looked in both the Google Photos app and the web site looking for anything to force a sync and haven't found anything except for "Back up all" which did nothing.

How can I force my phone to sync to the cloud immediately?  In the Photos app the new image already appears, but on my PC only the first picture I took showed up.


texts:
For several weeks now my Android (Gingerbread 2.3.6) phone has been losing it's WiFi signal momentarily, typically at about 3 minute intervals (about 3 minutes, 1.5 seconds) and occasionally at some longer interval that always seems to be a multiple of just over 3 minutes. This causes an interruption of several seconds while the WiFi connection is re-established and typically fails any kind of download/streaming that is happening, makes web sites "unreachable" and generally makes the phone unusable as a data device due to the frequency. The signal remains down for about a second, but the phone takes a few more seconds to reconnect to the router.

This happens regardless of proximity to the router, which shows a very strong signal - usually -40 to -30 dBm or better in the same room, nowhere in the house less than -70 dBm.  It also happens regardless of whether the phone is plugged in or on battery.

Some specific things I've tried that had no effect:

Changing channels (I've tried 1, 4, 8 and 9).
Turning off the router's guest access.
Turning off the 5.0 GHz band.
Setting the router to Wireless N only (though that did prevent my laptop from connecting, which only supports G).
Changing the phone's wireless advanced settings sleep policy to Never.
Setting the battery mode to Performance mode.

Monitoring the signal on my phone with WiFi analyzer, shows all WiFi signals on all channels drop to nothing when the WiFi connection is lost (there are two other networks on different channels which are strong enough to be relevant, with about 6 others constantly fading in and out). WiFi analyzer shows 3 separate signals for my router, the main 2.4 GHz, the guest 2.4 GHz and the 5.0 GHz.

Using WiFi Analyzer on my wife's phone side-by-side shows no change in signal when my phone drops, nor does her phone drop.

Monitoring the signal using our laptop, side-by-side likewise shows no signal loss and likewise the laptop does not lose it's WiFi connection.

But, at work, the phone seems to not exhibit the same behavior, or, if it does, it's very occasional.  Monitoring it all day at work I only saw the signal drop 3 or 4 times.  The signal strength of the various networks there is comparatively weak.

AT&T were super helpful: "Sorry, we can't help you with WiFi problems. You could try doing a factory reset on your phone". </sarcasm>

The router is relatively new, but has been working fine with this phone since last Dec.

Phone          : Motorola Atrix MB860, System version 4.5.141.MB860.ATT.en.US, Android 2.3.6, Build Number 4.5.141.

Is it generally safe to assume that apps from the Market will work on a NC after it's rooted and the Market and so forth have been installed, or are there some gotchas associated with this? (Assume for the sake of this question that I'm talking about a 2.3 or earlier ROM, not a ripped-from-the-SDK 3.0 one)

texts: How to reduce RAM usage in the Samsung Galaxy Pro Tab 8.4?

texts: I own a Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4, and it came with 2GB of RAM (When I purchased the device I thought 2GB would be quite enough). However, after using it for a few days. I felt the Tab Pro was just too slow. After investigating my Tab Pro's RAM usage, I found the RAM usage was always higher than 1.5GB, even when I have no app running (except Avast Mobile Antivirus). What's the reason for this much of RAM consumption (yes, I heard about TouchWiz, but I've removed all tiles for the TouchWiz except one, because I needed at least 1 tile running.) I just think 1.5GB for the Android OS is too much and quite unacceptable =( Is there a way to get the RAM usage down? Thank you!


texts: is it possible for an app to crash the phone at the logo screen stage?

texts:
My wife has a Samsung Galaxy A5 running the carrier-supplied Marshmallow. Carrier is Tesco Ireland which I think is reselling the O2 network. Anyway the phone is completely standard in that respect, not even rooted, no custom ROMs or bootloader.

Edit: It may have just done an OTA update, as at some points it would start into the 'optimizing apps' sequence and get a certain number of apps into that, then reset again.

She had problems last week with it restarting itself and getting into some sort of boot loop. Sometimes it would just restart to the initial Samsung A5 logo screen, sometimes would start the animated 'Samsung' loading screen, and then restart again.

Initially I wiped first the cache then cache+data via the recovery menu, to no avail. It didn't seem like a battery or other hardware issue as it would quite happily sit in the recovery menu for any length of time.

As it's still under Samsung warranty I brought it in and got it back in a few days wiped and with Marshmallow on it.

She then went about reinstalling all her apps and that evening had it charging when it started into the reboot cycle again. The last app she had put on was the FitBit app. Eventually got it to start and removed the FitBit app and it has been OK since.

My question is - I can understand how an app could affect a successful boot later on in the process but could it affect things so that the phone won't even get past the initial switch-on splash screen which I assume is in the firmware?


texts:
I want to be able to have a 3-way sync for some files between home and work PCs and my Android (HTC Sensation, 2.3).  I want to sync a few documents and Keepass password database.

What options are there for this?  I found SMEStorage which looks very good, but I can't really see a good sync provider that does everything I need:

Windows Live Mesh: good for transparent sync on the PC, but I did read somewhere that docs synced from here would be read-only on Android (this doesn't apply to Skydrive, but can you sync to that like you can with Live Mesh?)
DropBox - hmm, I really don't want all my files publicly readable thank you...
FTP - I'd have to have a separate sync solution on my PCs
Google docs - not good on PC as I want a physical copy synced one each one.

Is there some other simple method I'm missing?  If there was a way of getting it to work with Live Mesh then that would be ideal.

EDIT:
  Looks like Live Mesh also syncs to Sky Drive, so Android clients that have read/write sync to Sky Drive may work, such as Sorami or SMEStorage may work


texts: Getting market error "Sorry there's not enough space to install this item."

texts:
Android Froyo 2.2 with 3GB available mmcblk0p2 space and over 3GB free space on MicroSD.

Have no idea from when it started. Since then, every time when I try to download/update an APP from Android Market, it prompted the "Sorry, There's not enough space to install this item." message for further action.

Have tried a few hints from Web, but yet no luck:

Format MicroSD.
Clean up Memory and Cache of Android Market.
Repartition the main storage from 4GB to 3GB.

Any body can give steps to overcome this?

texts: Different album art for songs in the same album

texts:
The MediaStore provider on Android is really screwed up.

On Android it isn't possible to define different cover art for songs in the same Album. Especially for compilations and "Various Artists" Albums. This is annoying!

PlayerPro was able to use ID3 Cover-Art instead of the MediaStore cover art, but this doesn't work since it has been updated.
Same goes for most music players for android, as they always use the MediaStore Class on Android to get the cover, and not their own implementation to get the ID3 embedded cover art.

To work around this issue, I can tag the Album-Artist tag on all files with the same Album tag:

Artist      Title       Album   AlbumArtist CoverTag    Displayed Cover
Daft Punk   Get lucky   Singles Daft Punk   get lucky   get lucky
Deftones    Bored       Singles Deftones    bored       get lucky
Avicii      Levels      Singles Avicii      levels      levels
Avicii      Wake me up  Singles Avicii      wake me up  wake me up

This work around will correctly display different covers for each of those songs, all in the "Singles" album, BUT not for the two different songs by Avicii. It's because the Mediastore Class will allow different covers for different "AlbumArtists" on a single Album. Since the AlbumArtist tag for both Avicii songs are the same, it will only use one of the covers for all Avicii songs in the same album "Singles".

Solutions not preferred:

Weird tag changes
separate folders on the phone

Any solution for PlayerPro, on Android itself, or my system of tagging? Or is there a different player which can handle embedded cover art correctly?

As in title: How can I turn off an Android phone in the same Ethernet remotely using a Windows computer?
They are in the same Local Area Network and connected to the same router, the Android phone is connected to the router via WiFi and the Windows computer is connected to the router via a cable.
I have tried numerous times to get a solution using Google search with different keywords, and objectively Google isn't very competent in understanding complex sentences and I can't get what I am looking for, see for yourself what the results Google gave: Google: How can I turn off an Android phone in the same Ethernet remotely using a Windows computer?, most of the results are exactly the opposite of what I intended to achieve.
I want to connect to the phone wirelessly and send commands through WiFi.
I figure I need to use either Telnet or SSH to do this, log into the Android device remotely and use
Android terminal commands to shutdown the phone.
Unfortunately I have tried telnet and here is the result:
C:\Windows\System32>telnet 192.168.1.3
Connecting To 192.168.1.3...Could not open connection to the host, on port 23: Connect failed

I know what this means, this is because telnet port is not open and the telnet server isn't online on the Android phone by default.
So naturally I need to install some application on the Android phone that runs the telnet/SSH server and opens the telnet/SSH port, and setup a login and password, so I can connect to the phone remotely and it has to somehow execute the commands.
The phone isn't rooted, but I have Android Studio and the phone does have USB Debugging, what tweaks do I need to make in order to enable remote logging?
And I don't know how to use Android terminal, is there even a command line interface shell on Android? I don't have any experience with this, however from what I have learned Android is based on Linux and I have some experience in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS WSL, I know I can use these commands:
sudo power off
shutdown -h now

Android must use something similar.
How can I achieve this?

The suggested duplicate: How can I shutdown my Android phone using an adb command? doesn't answer my question because it shuts down the phone through USB while I have explicitly stated in my question that I want to shutdown the phone wirelessly through WiFi connection.


texts:
I'm currently using a custom Android 5.0 ROM on a Sony Z1c and thoroughly enjoying the freedom.

Looking forward to a point very soon when I can install MultiROM and have the Ubuntu Touch installed aswell.... having OS specific for applications makes good sense.

However.... one thing I need someone clever to help me with is to write me some code I can install to Android that will allow me to hide the fact that I have root access so i can continue to benefit from using the incredibly convenient Barclays Banking app. I've unfortunately discovered that it is patched to check for root access and tells me it is 'unable' to work on rooted devices.

My current ROM is CyanogenMod 12 which has the ability to 'disable' root access, but even so, the banking app can tell that my phone has the access to root.

Hoping someone clever would appreciate the challenge of working out how to 'cloak' my root access ability and allow me to get the app working again on my phone and save me having to go the very long way around via browser login to my online bank account. I think Barclays is being unduly 'Paranoid Android'.... :-)

Whatever you need I can send..... having ES File Explorer installed allows me to pluck anything from the system

texts: How to completely save large chat history of WhatsApp in Android phone

texts:
To save a large (group) chat history of WhatsApp in Android phone I have looked to the internet for help - but still cannot save/backup the entire conversation/chat from the beginning.
For information, my example is a group chat with history composed of maybe a few hundred text messages (starting in 2017), contains maybe thirty images, a few videos and some short voice files. It definitely should not exceed the limits of the WhatsApp system. There is nothing rude in the chat but some strong feeling are expressed by some, in any case should not fall foul with any censorship.
So why the heck can I not backup the entire chat history???
I can see the entire chat (from beginning to current) in my phone but when I export the chat via email and Gmail it only shows approx. one month of chat!!!
Why? What is limiting and preventing seeing (exporting?) the entire chat history?
I use the procedure advised by the internet including this forum that I am writing in. I use the selections: More, Export Chat, Include Media, Send chat via (and each time click Email or Gmail), type into the To field, then send....it sends but in checking the sent mail, can only see recent chats.
Can anyone advise? Your help would be appreciated.


texts: Sync My Calendar with Outlook/Exchange 2010 using Kies messes up dates on Galaxy S II

texts:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S II running Gingerbread (2.3.5). I tried synchronizing My Calendar with Outlook/Exchange 2010 (Outlook running on Win7) using Kies (over USB).

I started with a clean calendar on the phone and the Kies indeed transferred all the appointments and events to the phone, however there is a problem interpreting the dates. Any appointment taking place on a day of the month up to the 12th - the day of the month is interpreted as the month itself, and the month is interpreted as the day. Thus - March 9 becomes September 3, etc. Oddly enough, March 15 stays March 15.

Any ideas what configuration needs to be corrected, and where?

Thanks!

I have reordered my mp3 collection with the excellent easyTag tool.

Now on my LG-430 and on my Xperia Z1 compact, in the native music players of the smartphones as well as in the external apps Equalizer+ and Poweramp, in many albums every song appears twice.

An example is Mick Jagger's "Goddess In The Doorway". I have checked with a file explorer that there is really only one mp3 file for every song. I have checked with easyTag that all tags are set correctly.

Another strange tagging error happens with the Stones' famous "Exile On Main Street" album (OK, I admit, I am a Stones junkie, forgive me). Here the very first song of this early 70ies double LP, "Rocks Off", is put into an album called "Exile On Main St. CD1". All other songs of the double LP are put into an album with exactly the same name.

What am I doing wrong or what is wrong with the mp3 collection apps?

On my tablet I have created restricted profiles for the kids. These restricted profiles have "app protection" enabled to prevent accidental uninstallation of apps.

Uninstalling an app that is enabled in the restricted profiles is quite cumbersome: I uninstall it in the owner profile. After this, it is still present in the restricted profiles. So I disable the app protection for all restricted profiles, then login into all the restricted profiles one after another, uninstall the app there, and finally I return to the owner profile and re-enable the app protection of the restricted profiles.

Is there a way to uninstall the app for all profiles in a single step?

texts: Undoing "Use network as is" for wifi connection on secured network

texts:
First of all, I am not a device expert at all! So I'll do my best to describe what's going on but I don't know all the fancy words and labels to these things... Sorry.

Recently I was having trouble with the wifi connection to my Galaxy J3 device. The network at the place I work requires a staff sign-in to get through the local network to the internet. Usually, right when I connect to the wifi, my phone prompts me that "This network requires sign-in" or some such thing, and directs me to the portal page. I guess this is called a Captive Portal?

I was trying to make this process quicker and as a result I pressed the "Use network as is" option in the wifi settings just to see what happened. Apparently that messed something up big time cause now I can't access the sign-in page no matter what I do or what I reset. In addition, my phone no longer brings up the sign-in page, and when I use a browser to try to force that portal page to come up (this usually works), it just times out. It seems to me the phone is now thinking that the wifi network has direct access to the internet so it won't go to the portal. And I can't find anything to undo what I did.

Here's what I've tried:

Forgetting network then reconnecting to it
Using Virgin Mobile's "Reset Network Settings" directions doing ##72786# on the keypad. That did absolutely nothing I could see. Didn't even remove remembered networks
Restarted phone
Tried adding the network manually
I don't know how to do this "root" stuff, but I tried to access the file under data/wifi/misc to delete it but I can't find it using the File Explorer (even with hidden files shown). This was from directions I found at How to reset Wi-Fi settings?

Anyway, I'm sure that's confusing but is there anyone who could help me with this?

Thanks!

texts: How to login to Oneplus OxygenOS after motherboard change with 2-step verification?

texts:
Last time, I had a similar issue with Oneplus 2, I troubleshooted the problem with OnePlus 2-level tech support (nicely organized by Amazon) and they decided after 3rd try that nothing to be done possible. Google said last time that the problem is OnePlus, because not pure Android. I have now troubleshooted the problem with 1-level Oneplus tech support, but they cannot diagnose the problem enough, but they note that it is not possible to setup the phone with 2-step verification at all.

I cannot disable the 2-step verification because of security reasons. The phone does not accept my password to my Gmail account, neither accept app specific passwords. I repeated the steps now at least 50 times now. I can login into pure Android phone with my login details at the moment: Samsung Galaxy S8.

I suspect that there is something corrupted in the hardware. Initially, the problem in the phone was that the sound  was broken: crumbless, regardless if you use loudspeaker or headsets. So oneplus tech support decided to change the motherboard. Now, the motherboard is new but I cannot anymore login to the phone.

I think to get the warranty is the only way to go or have 2-level tech support troubleshoot the phone.

Waiting 15 minutes, I get the screen

  Something went wrong
  Sorry, something went wrong there. Try again.

Then, pressing "next", it gives the login screen again where you have to put your email address again. I do it and give the password. It goes back to the loop where it says the password is wrong, although is not wrong.

The 1-level tech support decides to do the second motherboard switch. I am waiting for it and then troubleshooting.

Predictive text for Lithuanian is a pain for me as the language uses some special characters like ą, č, ė or ū which reduces the limit of characters in an SMS message to 70 instead of 140 and which I can easily substitute with Latin equivalents like a, c, e and u.

I did not uninstall it. The only unusual activity I did last night was install the 5 Guys app, Opera Mini, uninstall Opera Mini because I did not like it, install Dolphin Browser.

texts:
I travel a lot and having a constantly reliable Internet connection is high on my priority list.  Tethering from my phone is often times spotty.  Different carriers are good in some areas and poor in others.  To further complicate things, sometimes even a good connection can randomly hike packet loss rates and response times.

I'm searching for a solution.  Something with much more reliability and consistency to tether my laptop to.  I'm willing to pay for multiple carriers.  I figure I can set something up with multiple sims that supports multipath tcp and then use a VPN connection to a AWS EC2 instance I setup and control.

So what I'm looking for is a dual active sim device that supports simultaneous LTE on both sims.  So the first part of the question is what hardware device supports this?

According to Wikipedia there's a multipath TCP networking layer for Android.  Is this standard in the latest version of Android or is this something I have to manually install?

I figure Android is a good way to accomplish this goal, but in the event that the hardware just isn't available, is there a non-Android solution that would accomplish the same thing while being as portable as a phone?  I've seen professional units that accomplish this but they're bulky and have external power requirements that wouldn't fit in my pocket.

This means there has to be an extra choice pressed each time I want to make a call.
Is there a way to disable that ridiculous feature & still retain the Phone/Skype option.

Thanks for any help you can give.

So my phone (Samsung Galaxy Avant) was working just fine until last night where I keep getting this error. I can use my phone just fine for maybe,2 minutes,but after that,it crashes. I already tried looking around for a solution,and have tried clearing the cache partition,but no luck there. A factory reset of everything is my last resort option,so want to try as much as I can first.

I can use my phone in Ultra Power Saving Mode with no issues, so it has to be a third party app during that's causing the issue. Only thing I installed yesterday was just a battery monitoring app (Go Power or something to those likes). I already tried uninstalling that and my 3rd party launcher (Nova). Still no luck.

My phone was rooted (Or at least should of been or be) using the Kingo Root program. I did also uninstall that as well, so am not 100% certain if that is also the cause. Cant seem to reinstall it as the installation hangs and then the UI crashes. Also,did uninstall some stock apps I had no need for,but that was a long tome ago.I feel that it should continue to install,even without the UI,and have given it a few minutes,but when I restarted my phone to check,nothing. Maybe I didnt give it enough time or it just didnt install. Cant get into safe mode either (The method using Power Button and Volume Up),as all I get is a prompt for a custom OS installation with Odin,nor does it show up when I long press the power button.

EDIT: Also have tried resetting all App Preferences and also Uninstalling Malewarebytes which I just remembered I reinstalled yesterday too. I did last month also get the charger port replaced,or rather,the entire motherboard,but doubt that is the issue.

EDIT2: Found out I was getting to safe mode wrong. Still crashed.

My signficant other and I each have a T-Mobile-branded LG G2X P999.  An over-the-air update was recently released that upgrades the OS from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4.  She got the OTA update; I have not received it yet (and, given this problem, will refuse it until a solution is found).  Since the update, she can no longer install or update apps.  She gets the error (when updating Google Maps, for instance):

  Error downloading "Maps".  There is insufficient space on the device.

This is happening even after uninstalling some apps (which can no longer be reinstalled due to the error.)  Internal storage has 248 MB used and 1.2 GB free.  The SD card has 603 MB used and 4.6 GB free.

Some people on the T-Mobile support discussion board discuss a hard reset being a solution for this issue.  I would prefer to avoid that solution if possible, simply because it is a hassle and because we do not know what data she might end up losing.

How can she fix this issue?  Is there a way to fix it besides a hard reset?

texts: How to create a service without any /system/etc/init.d directory

texts:
I would to get a boot daemon service.

My android 6 device is rooted and I installed busybox pack on it. After remount my /system partition in read/write, I make /system/etc/init.d directory  and I put my shell script inside. I rebooted my android device and the script didn't start alone. I checked the executable permission as well.

I browse the web around the question and I should modify my /init.rc file trough modify the boot.img file and this is a few complicate and init.rc seems target one file not a directory.

Is there an other procedure?
Thank for your help.
