texts: Is it possible to use the phone’s hardware through Asterisk?

texts:
I would like to convert my android phone into a personal pcbx (being able to perform basic automated answering based on speech and who is calling and performs hang up). Something requiring the power of Asterisk (unless you know an alternative designed for android of course).

There are a lot of tutorials on how to this through sip on rooted devices, but in my case, I want to do it using the phone number of my sim card which of course is tied to a provider that doesn’t give such option (they gave sip credentials during years but this is something now terminated) in order to reach the public switched network without any additional fees.

This wouldn’t be a problem on Linux as virtually every Linux compatible phone modules have a bridge for Asterisk.
But for Android devices, I read (I fail to remember where) that not only the modules designed for android phones aren’t provided with an Asterisk bridge, but that almost all the drivers controlling them are so closed source that it’s impossible to compile a custom kernel using them (that building is still possible but without support for the modem) and that while everything related to telephony is controlled by a daemon (I don’t remember it’s name), it has to be patched by oem because the kernel interface exposed to userland is closed source too and undocumented.

So that no apps allow controlling the hardware phone besides calling numbers and that even being root doesn’t change it.
If not, how can I perform such advanced usage?


texts: Is it possible to default to a host name instead of a search query on Chrome for Android?

texts:
I would like to type in "server" in the address bar in Chrome on Android, and have it go to http://server (like things worked in the old days) rather than searching Google for the word "server".  Is this possible to do?
I'd also consider other browsers, such as Brave, if they have this feature.  Thanks!

In order to save some volume on my data plan, I'd like to limit updates from the market to the times when I'm connected to a WiFi. And as every good geek, I want this to be automated, in other words, if I am connected to a WiFi network, check and install updates from the market (for those apps that I allow to automatically update). Is there a way of doing this?

I'm running Android 2.2 on an HTC Desire. If it helps, I have Tasker installed.

Update: I don't want to change the autosync settings.

Update II: I'm not rooted and am looking for a "stock" solution.

texts: Does the Android Complete Backup in debug functions is real "COMPLETE"?

texts:
My android phone is going wonky since I washed its surface yesterday(Hey, where's my IP68?), cannot picking up any WIFI or 4G signals even I restart or go into safe mode(my SIM card and WIFI are good on other device). Now I'm trying to find a way to do the COMPLETE backup of my phone before I can do further actions like reset to factory default.

When I look into the debug mode, there is a "Complete backup to my PC" function got my eyes, and I'd like to know is it really COMPLETE? like I can back to my usual use immediately without re-enter my APPs login credentials after restoration?


texts: How to make the lock-screen keyboard accept the first touch of each key?

texts:
I like to use a password for my lock screen, but my podgy fingers are defeated by the kind efforts of whoever built "intelligence" into the keyboard. However hard I concentrate on being accurate, my finger may touch an adjacent key as I lift it to move to another key. The keyboard interprets this as "ah, you are SLIDING FROM ONE KEY TO ANOTHER. You must be CHANGING YOUR MIND. So instead of taking the key you touched, I will TAKE THE KEY YOU SLID TO."

While I imagine this could theoretically be a feature some people might want, I am not one of them and it only causes grief.

Is there any way to get rid of this feature? Either through settings or by writing an app? I've searched but had zero success.

texts: How to uninstall Button Savior (non root) from Samsung Galaxy Note 4

texts:
I asked this question here and somebody suggested to me that I should asked here.

A friend of mine installed an app called Button Savior (non root) from google play and then decided to uninstall it for whatever reason, but he was not able to uninstall it from his phone, he then asked me to help him to uninstall it from his phone. I searched in google for how to do it, and I found this link.

On this link it was suggested that I first should remove the app from the device administrators list (settings - security - device administrators) and then and uninstall it and if this fails then I should reboot the phone into safe mode and repeat the process. I tried both methods but when I try to remove the app from the device administrators list the setting crash and I got an error message "unfortunately setting has stopped working".

Any suggestions to resolve this issue ?


texts: Why do my headphones stop working on my LG Android?

texts: About yesterday, my headphones randomly started pausing my music. At first, I thought it was my headphones which are Apple iPod/iPhone 5 headphones that I've had for a few months from an old iPhone, so I tried another pair that are brand new and only used once or twice and the same thing happened. It would pause the music and it didn't show the headphone icon at the top like it should on both pairs. And then when I'd go to my music player to start up the song, it would play the music through my phone speakers when the headphones were plugged in. Why?

texts: "Please select a keyboard layout" notification on wake?

texts:
I have an RCA brand tablet that came with its own physical keyboard.  Whenever I connect this keyboard or turn on the screen while the keyboard is connected, I get this notification:

If I click on the notification, I am brought here:

So, the notification doesn't take me anywhere where I can select a keyboard layout.  I've tried to go into the individual settings for each keyboard and found an option to select a layout, but if I click on that option, it sends me right back to Screenshot 2.  Therefore I can't select a keyboard layout and I can't get rid of the notification.  It is incredibly frustrating to have to keep clearing out the same notification over and over.  How can I stop the notification?

Note that it does the same thing if I am using the AOSP keyboard instead of the SwiftKey keyboard.  I am running android 4.4.2.

texts:
I'm looking to factory reset my Nexus 4, which is currently running CyanogenMod 11 M7, because of an issue inside the ROM that requires a reset (Themes Provider crashing on every launch). I have Titanium Backup, and have created a backup. How do I now back up (or put onto a computer and then return to the phone) the backup and restore it once I've resetted?

Mount warning
The 2nd partition wasn't mounted during the start, it was mounted after the system finished starting. With that reason your linked apps aren't visible for the system right now. To make them available again, please try "Quick restart".

The buttons are: "Quick restart" and "Cancel". After I make a quick restart all apps work good.
The second problem its that the launcher (not the default one) can't load widget. At the beggining I thought this one was easy: I unlinked the launcher and the apps which made widgets. But nothing, still can't be loaded.
Note killink the launcher and starting it again doesn't solve the problem
Please any help, thanks!


texts: Regular voice calls stopped working, was earlier. Maybe Skype related. Android 4.0.3

texts:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S II with Android 4.0.3.

The problem:

It was working fine until today, for both voice calls and Internet use, as well as for Skype calls. (I had installed Skype for Android on it some time ago after buying the phone). But only used it for Skype calls once or twice.

Since it supports both regular voice calls and Skype calls, when I go to call log in the Phone app, and touch or swipe a contact name to call them, it earlier used to give the option of calling that person either via a normal phone call or via Skype.

Today, while trying to call a person, I think I was absent-minded and may have accidentally pressed some wrong option. As a result, from then on, when I try to call a person, from the call log list in the phone app, it does not show the normal call option and the Skype call option for me to choose from. Instead, it directly goes to Skype and tries to do a Skype voice call. So I am now unable to make regular voice calls with it.

I looked in the Skype app settings as well as in the Call menu under the main Settings app of the phone, but could not find any way to restore the earlier behavior, where it allows me to choose whether to make a normal phone call or a Skype call. I also looked at all other options in the main Settings app, at the top level, but could not see any other menu that seemed as though it may be relevant to fix this issue.

Any suggestions on how to solve this?

Thanks.

I have set up a local Funambol server and created an account. Then I installed Funambol Sync 9.0.1 on my android device (HTC Desire, CyanogenMod 7.0.3 stable (Android 2.3.3)) directly (by APK) because I don't have (and don't want) The Google App Pack.

I configured it and it syncs contacts fine. However, it only gives me the option to sync contacts: my user interface looks different than the screenshots on here. When opening the sync app I have only one big button that is labeled "Sync Contacts", I don't have a list like in the screenshot. Also, the 'Settings' don't have an "Account" tab.

I wish to sync calendars (at least). What could be the cause of this? Have I installed it incorrectly?

So I have looked into disabling this, but to no avail. I am trying to find were this is happening in the code but I cannot find it. I am fairly sure it is somewhere in SystemUI, but I don't know exactly where. I have searched in com.android.systemui.keygaurds two classes, and cannot find it. I have searched in every class that looked relevant to my problem.

I absolutely cannot find it. Can anybody help me out here please? I want to be able to have my phone boot, and I can automatically unlock it with my fingerprint, but I always have to enter my pattern before I can use my fingerprint.

Thanks!

texts: Do I need an SD card to add apps to an Advent Amico Android Tablet?

texts:
The Advent Amico Android Tablet PC arrives without an SD card, and has 487Mb of internal ROM available.  Plenty for a few apps surely?

There is no Android marketplace or alternative marketplace app visible on the tablet to get new apps from.  The nearest thing is PK Manager.  That offers an option to install apks from a micro SD card.  It doesn't offer an option to install from internal ROM.

I can upload files to a limited area of the internal ROM using USB, with USB set for mass storage, using either Windows file explorer or 'Amico Transfer Companion'.  So far this doesn't appear to be very useful as besides not being able to install from this limited area, none of the pre-installed apps see the files I put there, even when configured to use internal ROM!  Putting apks in the top level of this directory does not install them.

I don't seem to be able to use the tablet for app development either, without an HD card.  I'd need to use the USB in ADB mode, (and on Win 7) I need a USB driver which does not appear to be available.  The support site, [http://support.thetechguys.com/amico][1] doesn't have any support and just says 'coming soon'.

So without an SD card is there no way to add new apps?  Is there some setting or method to do this that I'm overlooking?

EDIT:

I've now found that the USB uploaded files not appearing when viewed from the tablet was down to me looking for them with USB still connected.  Once the tablet is free floating again, not USB'ed to the PC, the tablet can see the files.

texts: How to force android to use Bluetooth for telephony? (if bluetooth is connected)

texts:
I have some problems with Android telephony in my car.

I connect my android phone over bluetooth with the car (the radio has a build-in telephone function).
Since the car does not support bluetooth audio, I connect the phone to the 3.5mm jack of the car.
The audio works pretty good, music, navigation, etc. is sent over the 3.5mm jack.

Now when I want to call someone (or get called) I have some annoying bugs.

With my old smartphone (Sony Xperia X Compact, Android 8, using the 3.5mm jack of the phone) I had a 50% chance, that when I start a call, the phone chooses the 3.5mm jack as an output, so while dialing I had to switch to bluetooth in the dialer app.
Now, with my new smartphone (OnePlus 8 Pro, Android 10, using a USB-C to 3.5mm jack adapter) the bug got way more annoying. When the call starts and is dialing it always uses bluetooth but as soon as the call partner takes the call it switches to the 3.5mm jack and I have to switch back to bluetooth manually (resulting in me not hearing others until I switch).

Now my question is: Is there any way to force android to use bluetooth for calls when bluetooth and 3.5mm jack are connected?

I found some pretty old questions here (the other way round) where apps have been suggested that don't exist anymore.

I also already tried the following with tasker (without any luck):

I created a new task that sets Bluetooth voice transmission to on
I created a new profile that executes this task when I'm connected with my car's bluetooth
I created a new profile that executes this task whem I'm connected with my car's bluetooth and a call has been accepted

Sadly this didn't work.

Opera is not the default handler, but because Android handles incoming link like any text file on file system, the default browser is not offered at all. Picking the other option works even less.


texts: Command has different output when running in a shell or in script

texts:
I'm trying to run a script on the Nox emulator through adb. After connecting to Nox via adb with adb connect localhost:62001 and copying a script into a /data/scripts/script.sh folder, executing it gives me different outputs. The script contains the following:

#!/system/bin/sh
dd if="/data/scripts/screen.dump" bs=4 skip=540503 count=1 | hd

# Expected output: 00000000  08 04 1D FF

Now, here is the problem: I'm getting different results depending where/how I run the script. For it to work, I need to open the shell first with adb shell, and any of the following commands work from within it:

dd if="/data/scripts/screen.dump" bs=4 skip=540503 count=1 | hd
. ./data/scripts/script.sh

But I need to be able to run the commands from within a script without having to type them. All of these don't work:

adb shell sh ./data/scripts/script.sh
adb shell . ./data/scripts/script.sh
adb shell 'dd if="/data/scripts/screen.dump" bs=4 skip=540503 count=1 | hd'

The main error I'm getting is Usage: hd [-b base] [-c count] [-r delay] file (which is weird because I know it's correct), and occasionally also dd: stdout: Broken pipe. I've spent about 5 hours today trying only to solve this and I'm out of ideas... If anyone has one let me know!

texts:
I have a Samsung phone J3. just recently started not recognizing mobile network - sometimes I cannot make phone calls and send SMS messages. WhatsApp works ok, WiFi as well.

Different sim cards from the working phone did not allow calls and SMS sending on mine.
I had suggested the mechanical connection on the chip in the phone is damaged.
But I think, could be a software issue - any suggestion?

Please keep in mind I have a Mac OS and know nothing about ADB commands or fastboot other than what the sites told me when I was about to unlock the bootloader.

Edit: When I run ./adb devices no device is shown. Does this mean my computer doesn't detect my phone?

1) The code that show logo (or battery charge in percents when power cable is on) and respond to USB (when phone is off but battery is inside) ? Where it is ? It should be postioned before Boot ROM - but how you name it?

2) who are responsible for handle "on + volumne down" to switch to "bootload" menu ? BootRom or Bootloader?

3) "preloader" how it is positioned there? (I'm not sure that I understand what preloader is).

4) Twrp ? fastboot ? odin3  does they replace Dalvik or run over it? twrp by itself look like full OS.


texts: Phone stuck on "Sign in with a google account that was previously synced on this device"

texts:
My Motorola Moto G3 was stolen yesterday (a man on a moped grabbed it from my hand). When I got home I changed my google account password and then went to Android Device Manager and requested that the phone be locked and erased if it connects to the internet. Today someone found it on the street and contacted me (my email was displayed on the lock screen). I retrieved the phone. When I opened it the phone did a factory reset as expected.

However now when I try to login (using the account I was using before) it won't get past the "Sign in with a google account that was previously synced on this device" phase. I input my email address and my current password but it brings me back to the same screen (if i input the old password i get an "incorrect password" message). Google won't allow me to revert to the old password because it's been recently used.

Is there a way out of this?

EDIT:
I waited the full 72 hours and then the phone let me continue with the setup process. I'm leaving the question open just in case someone has a better solution.

texts: Error installing CyanogenMod: Unsupported bootloader

texts:
I am trying to install CyanogenMod 12 on my Moto G 4G XT1040 Peregrine by following this guide from the Cyanogen Wiki.

I have:

Unlocked my bootloader
Installed a custom compatible recovery (TWRP v2.8.7.0)
Downloaded the nightly into a SD card

When I try to install the custom ROM using the recovery, I get the following error:

  This package supports bootloader(s) 0x411A; this device has bootloader
  0x4113.

If I try to use the official Cyanogen recovery present in the image page, I get a similar error message containing the same line above.

I found this tool for upgrading the bootloader, but it's a very unofficial tool and I'm afraid to install a random bootloader found on some forum; I don't know what kind of malicious consequences it could have in terms of security.


texts:
I have a Lenovo A526. In storage settings I've selected SD Card as the "Default Write Disk".

The phone storage is 2gb and I have ~150 MB available, whereas the SD card is nearly 15GB and has most of that available.

The problem is that when I attempt to download any app, I get an error saying that there is not enough space available and I should make some room.

Why is this happening? There's plenty of room if the phone simply decided to use the SD card.

How can I make it use the SD card instead of always using the smaller (and full) phone storage?


texts: What permissions are granted to an app with device administration privileges?

texts:
Does a Device Administrator application have any/all permissions such as contacts, storage, etc.. ?

It's not clear from developer.android.com device-admin whether or not these admin rights also imply application permissions.

Or does device administrator simply mean that it can only do the things in the policy it's allowed to such as lock the screen, wipe the phone, prevent (easily) uninstalling the app, etc.. and that permissions to access private information is managed via the permissions settings only ?

texts: where to find the folder "/driver/net/"?

texts:
I am trying to build an adhoc network using Samsung Galaxy S4.

Having established the network on the first handset, I am trying to connect another SGS4 to the same network.

The second SGS4 seems to discover the network and connect to it, however it generates, locally, a different network MAC address (BSSID) and hence can't actually connect to the same network, though it is connected to the same SSID (network-name).

In order to set a fixed BSSID in the second SGS4 I need to change some flags on the wireless-driver which usually is located in /driver/net/wireless/. Nonetheless, looking around, I can't find this folder in my rooted Samsung Galaxy S4. I've searched almost everywhere but can't find it.

If there is any other way to set a fixed BSSID, I'm of course open to that as well.

I have not been able to find an easy way to transfer events from this calendar to my Google account, and hence it is not syncing (it seems you have to choose the right calendar to get it to sync).

Is there a way I can transfer my calendar entries to my Google account without manually re-entering everything?

texts: Some JPEGs from micro SD card munged, others OK

texts:
Relevant contents of micro SD card:

437 files in DCIM > Camera directory

177 JPEGs can't be read (HEX dump begins with 0000 instead of FFD8)
138 are damaged (HEX dump includes a series of 0000 bytes)
118 photos are intact
3 videos can't be read
1 video is intact

548 files in LOST.DIR directory

Photos viewed from card in camera or PC yield same results, as do photos copied to hard drive.

Damages to photos include

blank pixels, sometimes of a single color
chunks of photo out of order
chunks of photo missing colors

Are damaged/illegible photos/videos hopelessly munged or can they be recovered?

Here is a sample image that shows all of these problems, along with its thumbnail that I recovered with JPEGsnoop.

texts:
I have an old YU Yureka piece, and it has gone into a boot loop.

What happens is, CYANOGEN logo comes up in the beginning, and then "Android is starting - Optimizing x/123 apps" comes up. As x reaches 123, the phone reboots again, and the same thing starts all over again.

One thing note worthing is that it's not always x/123. Sometimes it goes till x/9, x/29, x/27, x/120 etc.. It's not in any decreasing/increasing order. I have let this thing run many times, and for many hours (I was hopeful it would just magically show up my home screen after x reached whatever).

But thanks to my hopefulness, Once it so happened that when it was x/9, and x reached 9 and the phone rebooted, it did not do the same thing again but the phone started!! But only until I connected my cable to get all the data, it rebooted again and the boot loop continued from x/123 this time.

Other things you might want to know:

My phone is pattern protected (locked)
It is not rooted
ADB was not set up from the settings
AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY DATA, so no wiping/formatting of Internal SD card!

Oh, and Cyanogen rescue mode has the following options:

Reboot system now
Apply update
Wipe data/factory reset (I want to avoid this)
Wipe cache partition (I have tried this)
Wipe media
Reboot to bootloader
Power [???]
[???] logs

Sorry for [???] as whatever is written there I can't read it due to a screen display problem.

Right now I am just waiting for that magic to happen again, hopefully if the home screen comes up, this time instead of connecting it with cable, I will first remove the lock pattern, and set up ADB. But I have no clue how it happened last time, or how/when will it happen again.

Also I am unable to connect with fast boot, as I guess we need ADB set up for that. Is that right? adb devices does not list my device. I haven't really worked much with fast boot, flashing, etc. But I will be comfortable to follow instructions. All I want is to rescue my data.

Any help is appreciated :)

I am benchmarking an app using the batteryhistorian.
The result is a chart where every percentile is a "tick".

After I've measured the battery consumption

the deviced back to full.

Is it a fair approximation to assume that a drop from 85% to 84% is the same

Formerly I did it by holding notification for a sec and then pulling it down to enlarge or up to shrink. It seems like it works down to enlarge but I cannot shrink. Is there a different way to do it? Or does Android decide when to make it large or small (if yes that is a sad thing)

texts: Is it possible for Purchase Authentication to be disabled without user knowing?

texts:
I've got a Samsung tablet, and have always had the "require authentication" for purchases, as it's mostly used by my young kids. We've never had a problem, until this month...

We went on vacation and took the tablet, in this time my son was able to rack up $1500 worth of in-app purchases in just a few days (when we noticed what was happening).

I was wondering could an auto-update of OS/Play Store have changed the setting?

My wife actually spoke to somebody at google support, and there was mention of cache being cleared? (I'm not sure, I only heard second-hand). And I haven't been able to find an update log of sorts?

It's a Samsung Galaxy Tab A(2016), Android 8.1.0
Play Store is currently, 18.4.15 (though was 18.3.13 the other day).

Like I said, it appears authentication has become disabled without our realisation around January 5, 2020. (All transaction prior to this were intentional)

Any genuine advice or suggestions are welcome.

I recently goy myself a Moto G3, that is running Android 5.1.1.

I have 3 e-mail addresses, all of those I wish to keep in my Gmail app (I did that in an older phone I had), so I go to "Add Account" in the Gmail app, click "New Account" and...

I'm taken to a "Confirm your Password" screen. And there, I type my password... Only to see a "try again" prompt. And no matter how many attempts I do, all I see is a "try again" prompt. My research led me to know that a "2 step verification" can be the issue, but turns out it's deactivated on ALL 3 OF MY ACCOUNTS!

I also can't add other accounts to my Youtube app, which I need since I need to publish videos while away from my PC. Here's an image of that confirm your password screen. If anyone has any suggestions, I'll be thankfull (just a warning: I'm a noob, so I'd appreciate "simpler" language if possible).

Also, if it helps, the main account is my personal e-mail. I'd like to add 2 "workplace" e-mails to the Gmail app, and one of those is linked to a Youtube Account.

If I create a folder: /sdcard/mypictures/, it's show the images in an album called mypictures.  It doesn't show that the mypictures folder is off the root of sdcard.  If I make a subfolder in /sdcard/mypictures/march2017, it shows the images are in march2017.

I'm trying to figure this out because browsing a friends phone, we are trying to grap pictures from it.  We see them in Gallery, but can't figure out, of his years of storing and sorting pictures on where they are actually located.

I'm sure there is a way to get the path.  Hopefully someone can help.

Long-press then copy link gets Google's indirect links instead, like:

This is most ridiculous when installing a new Marshmallow app, since this includes initial permission requests even for basic behavior:

I'm an advanced user, and I can smell when a malicious app is trying to fool me, so I feel reasonably safe disabling this. Is there any way to disable this kludge?

I know that there is the float option for GBoard, but that doesn't really work for me, as the app gets full screen in the background, which makes it hard to see what you type or generally blocks information.

Is there some way to add dead space beneath the Gboard?


texts: How can I flash ClockWorkMod on my Samsung Galaxy Fit running froyo?

texts:
I was following instructions on xda-developers to install a new ROM, then it linked to these instructions about installing CWM on Samsung GT-S5670. The problem is, there's a Warning there that says:

  I take no support for RFS file system So this Recovery will not work
  for Stock ROM or Custom ROM that using RFS file system. Also this
  Recovery will not work for froyo baseband

My device matches both conditions.
I did a mount and checked the output, both /system and /cache are RFS. And I'm running stock Android 2.2.1 JXKA4 baseband (And there's no official update from what I know).

Now, I searched everywhere, and found someone who ported this to support RFS filesystems. I'm not sure that's what I want though, because I will be installing an ext4 ROM.

I also read in the forums about people bricking their device with ROM Manager, as it is not currently supported... (and with the method I linked to also with android 2.2)

I guess I definitely need Odin, but can't find the right version (official or not) of CWM to flash? What do I risk trying to flash the one on xda-developers forum, most probably bricking right?

Or maybe should I use another recovery for my device?

UPDATE:
I just read this thread. It seems there is not other way but to:

  First of all upgrade to Gingerbread via Kies/ODIN. Then, install CWM
  via ODIN. Download any ROM and flash via CWM.

So, for CWM 5 on Samsung Galaxy Fit to work, you need to have Gingerbread flashed, and ad my phone has never had the Gingerbread official update, I think I will have to flash another stock ROM (another region), then flash CWM, then probably flash a custom ROM.
Additionally I thought I might install that RFS based CWM to backup stock ROM, then go on flashing a custom ROM.

I'll try it, and if it works, I'll post an answer and accept it.

texts:
I see there are a lot of articles about the restrictions imposed on JavaScript in Windows Chrome. It can't access the filesystem of a user without the user himself uploading it to the server of the PWA. But I see none about JavaScript running on Android Chrome. Are there the same restrictions on JavaScript in Android Chrome as that of Windows?
For example I open a PWA on my Chrome, suppose Telegram, so will Telegram be able to access my files like my photos, videos, documents etc. without my permission?
Concisely, if I grant storage permission to browser X and open a web application Y in that browser, does that mean that Y can also access my media, files etc?
JavaScript aside is there any other way for any PWA or web app or website to view the contents of my internal storage without my permission?

texts: Any chance to unbrick relocked HTC One M7 with S-on and a old copy of the RUU.zip

texts:
Background

After 1 year of use,  the most recent OTA to my HTC One rendered several key features,  including the notification bar and the home and back buttons, unusable , effectively soft-bricking my phone. Although it was still under warranty, I decided to fix the matter myself,  and also try a custom ROM. Unfortunately, I was unable to make a backup with ADB,  because that was one of the functions the OTA update rendered unusable.

First,  I tried a few factory resets,  to no avail. I decided more drastic measures were needed and unlocked my bootloader using the instructions at HTC Dev and installed a custom recovery, ClockworkMod Touch.

I then tried to flash a new ROM, the newest snapshot release of CyanogenMod, via ADB sideload. Unfortunately, I was not aware of the need to change the CID,  and thus rendered main ROM completely non-functional. Around this time,  ADB also ceased to function in recovery, and my device was no longer detected.

A week or so later,  I flashed a different recovery, TWRP and again flashed it with fastboot. This restored ADB functionality, however,  ADB still failed to detect my device in sideload mode, which caused me to be unable to use the Guru Reset tool I managed to download. I then searched for and found a RUU.zip for my CID, VODAP021, at XDA forums. I then tried to flash it. I re-locked the bootloader and tried to flash it with

fastboot flash zip RUU.zip

after putting the phone in RUU mode, which returned

load_file: could not allocate (filesize) bytes

presumably because 1.5 GiB was too much to handle.

My question

Is there and hope of unbricking my phone (HTC M7_ul) now that I can't access recovery or normal ROM, and have a relocked bootloader with S-On? If so how,  and if not,  what do you suggest I do with it?

texts:
I have a Samsung SM-T110 (android tablet) and I was having WiFi problems so I decided to Factory Reset it. It shutdown and it booted into some different place where I wiped something (I wanted to wipe everything, so I probably did). Then I rebooted it into the bootloader and now it doesn't start. Maybe I deleted the OS too? I doubt it but I don't know... This is my problem right now but I know the WiFi problems will come back, so I need help.

I don't know what happened for it to stay that way. I was able to connect to the WiFi but the connection would be so slow that I couldn't do anything. An average image would take like 3 minutes to download. I had about 5 updates in the play store that never downloaded because it took too long. For some reason my tablet has always had problems with the play store... I have to uninstall its update or else it doesn't work or drains all the battery in 1 or 2 hours, but then it installs it again...

What do I do about the tablet not turning on? How do I solve the Play store issues forever?

Thank you.


texts: Data connection takes a long time to start up

texts:
My tablet has a SIM card that gets data over AT&T's cell network. Once the connection gets going it works great, but connecting to the network takes about 5 minutes. This is strange because it only takes a few seconds for the tablet to determine that it can detect the network at full strength; it just takes a long time for the little "H" to show up next to the signal-strength icon, at which point data exchange can occur.

What can I do to accelerate this? I'm running CyanogenMod on a Nexus 7 2012 tablet.

texts: How to put Google Nexus 7 securely in my car for use as sat nav?

texts:
I know this question isn't about Android per-se, but about an Android device no less.

I recently got a new Google Nexus 7 tablet.

Now, I'd like to use it as car sat nav, but I couldn't find a decent holder for my car. I'm using a car power strip that also has two USB sockets acting as power outlets for USB devices. Powering the Nexus is no problem, so I don't need a holder/cradle, that supplies power to the tablet.

I was considering building it myself out of a dock or something, but even that I couldn't find. So, how should I put it in my car then? Should I just build myself a car-dock for it?

texts:
I have been using VoIP for my landline for years, with an analog telephone connected to internet via an ATA.
Recently, this Grandstream GXV3175 PoE video phone sparked my interest in upgrading and getting rid of the analog phone and ATA, but now I wish to upgrade to an Android system with camera and market.
It could then also serve as a simple always-on portable PC for quick lookups or web browsing, and basic organiser/games/multimedia…

There already are several ideas for using Android systems as a desktop phone:
  - Android desk phones with Power-over-Ethernet
  - Android desk phone tablet+dock, for landlines with xDSL

Budget/specs-wise I like the Archos 80 G9 tablet. And ideally, there would be a Telpad-like dock but with PoE, but since that is not available for the moment, I was thinking about just connecting an external handset to the tablet in order to have proper microphone quality. Here I see 2 possibilities:
  1. via an USB port, e.g. Tiptel or Digitus
  2. via an earphone port, e.g. iPego or Moshi Moshi

However, if I read up correctly, none of the above seems to be supported on Android tablets?!
  - Does the OS (3.x/4?) actually support the USB handsets or are there drivers readily available?
  - Are there Android tablets that have a 4-band or 4-pole earphone port with support for an external headset/handset with microphone?  (Above-mentioned iPego or Moshi Moshi handsets are for iPhone/iPad only…)

How can I do this? Any suggestions/alternatives?

PS: sorry, new users can only post a maximum of two hyperlinks :/

Samsung A40 OneUi 1.1
Connected to wifi
After an email arrives to inbox, the phone (screen turned off) will not register this and no notification is given. After waking up it will sometimes sync but not always, after opening Gmail app it will usually sync but not always. Waiting for dozens of minutes and still nothing.

In such case, when I go to Account > (account) > syncing then Gmail syncing is enabled, but "last synced" can be e.g. 20+ minutes old.

Clicking to sync icon manually there or by pulling down in Gmail app it would sync successfully. I've read that the info about new mails is supposed to be pushed to the device so not sure why syncing is necessary actually, but it works like that...
2 Gmail accounts are bound to the device, but both have the same behavior

I tried (when account-related then was done for both accounts)
- Re-enabling syncing of Gmail
- Global auto sync is enabled
- Mobile data background usage is allowed (it's on wifi, but ... just to be sure)
- Wifi works correctly
- Checked battery settings - changed global to optimized mode (which is the most performance-focused and least battery optimization-focused mode available despite the name)
- Gmail is not set to be forced to sleep
- Gmail working in background is not disabled
- Checked memory-related settings, not seeing anything off
- Syncing is enabled within Gmail app itself > account settings.
- Notifications within Gmail app's own settings screen are enabled
- All notification options are enabled for Gmail app in the system screen for notification settings of the app
- No optimization 3rd party app etc. is running there
- Restart didn't help

Any idea how to fix this? Thank you

texts: Best way to transfer photos from Android 4.4.4 to Windows 7

texts:
I just upgraded to a Samsung Galaxy s5 running android 4.4.4. On my old phone running gingerbread, I was able to use the USB Mass Storage Device (MSD) feature to browse, delete, and copy photos (to a Windows 7 PC) very quickly since that phone basically acted as a standard USB drive.

On the Galaxy s5, it uses MTP, and trying to perform these same functions is painfully slow. I have over 1,000 photos on the phone, and it takes several minutes for them to be all listed in the DCIM/Camera folder. And even longer for thumbnails to appear. Nothing appears to be cached for quick access.

Considering that MSD is no longer available, and MTP is excruciatingly slow, is there a better way to handle accessing photos on the phone and transferring them to a PC? I would prefer to avoid cloud services/features.


texts: Wiping Motorola Milestone without working display

texts:
A pretty funny and tricky situation: I've got a Motorola Milestone with almost completely not working display. I know that it was a fall that probably damaged some cabling inside and now display only shows some colorful garbage on the top 5-7 mm section and everything else is dark or almost dark.

Everything else seems to be working on this phone: i.e. touchscreen is working (for example, I can blindly unlock the phone - according to haptic feedback, it unlocks), hardware keyboard is working, sound is working, etc.

I want to send it to service center, but I want to wipe sensitive phone contents (i.e. messages, contacts) first.

I also know that this phone was flashed with Cyanogenmod 7 for Milestone and OpenRecovery. USB connection yields proper USB storage device with inserted MicroSD card exported on it.

What I've tried:

My first instinct was to use USB debugging, just logging into the phone with adb shell and then running something like recovery --wipe_data. Alas, it doesn't work - this phone doesn't seem to have USB debugged turned on. Without any visual feedback, I guess I have no chances to travel through all the menus (Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB debugging) to enable it.
My another attempt was to log into recovery (given that this phone has OpenRecovery, it should be a breeze to use it to wipe the phone or at least access USB debugging bridge). While pressing "Camera" on power on seems to be working to get that "triangle" screen (at least I don't seem to get regular boot), I find myself struggling to press VolUp+Camera to get to recovery menu and then blindly selecting any items in probable recovery menu. May be a good visual guide with screenshots would help me here?
My last attempt was using Google's Play settings to control this phone to remotely install some sort of remote control application - but, alas, it seems that this phone is long gone from my Google account.

What I've also thought of:

Going to fastboot. Alas, it seems that Milestone does not have fastboot.
Making screenshots to get some visual feedback. Long press on "power" seems to show some kind of 6 items menu, but when I select last menu item (I thought it's "Screenshot")
Installing something using SD card - such as creating custom "install.zip" in SD card root with clever instructions to install remote controlling software - but, alas, I don't know anything about these mechanics.

So, anyone has any more ideas what can I do, given these funny limitations?


texts: Thumbnail image different to actual image

A similar question has been asked previously, however the answer is not relevant to my problem.

I have a number of photos where the thumbnail in the gallery does not match the photo displayed by the viewer (HTC Sensation, stock gallery and photo viewer).

for instance, take a picture of a child on a swing.

The thumbnail appears to be an image taken a fraction of a second earlier than the photo the viewer presents. The child is framed to the right of the photo in the thumbnail but to the left in the full view.

Is anyone able to explain why this is the case?

Also, am I able to rescue the image presented as the thumbnail (which is a better framed image)?

texts: Cannot add Google account for Playstore, SSL not working

texts:
I had Google Playstore installed on my Android 2.2 mobile. But unfortunately when I went to service centre the mobile was resetted to factory settings and all my data was lost.

Thereafter when I restarted my Internet, the default browser is unable to connect to any secured website. Even my news and weather is not getting connected. But the browser connects to other un-secured sites.

When I tried to reinstall Google play I was asked to add a Google account -- but it gave me an error that it cannot establish a secured connection.

No Google website except google.co.in is connected. However when I use the Opera mini browser I can visit any secured sites including GMail and Playstore.

But when I tried to download any apk from Google store it does not show any error in my PC but software is never downloaded. When I tried to use deviceID apk it is showing me nothing.

I think because I am unable to add any Google account the data file contains nothing.

Can anybody tell me how I can start secured connections in my default browser so that Google can connect to its secured server and I will be able to download from Play store?

Can an app run code if you don't open it?

As part of this question, the topic of an app downloading data without ever being explicitly opened by the user was mentioned briefly.

It got me thinking: is it trivial for an app to run code without ever being opened by the user?

Obviously, an app could just be set to launch on boot, causing it to run on the next power cycle.  But even easier, couldn't an app just have a receiver for a very common function (such as turning the screen on), thus running itself without the user being aware?

Is it even possible for an app to act as a receiver to an alarm timer so that it automatically gets run every minute?

Many people run App Ops right after installing an app to limit exposure.  But it seems like it would be almost trivial for an app to run code immediately after being installed.

Is this correct, or are there safeguards to prevent this?


texts: How do I force quit an app while it is on the foreground?

texts:
I have a malfunctioning security app. It's benign, but it has enabled its proactive security mode when I removed it from the device administrators. This is good, and what that means is that it put the phone in sleep mode and overrid the lock screen to require my password. This what it's supposed to do, but it doesn't accept my password.

Here's the situation:

I removed the app from device administrators.
It put the phone in sleep mode and changed the lock screen.
It disabled the menu buttons.
I cannot exit the screen without entering my password, which it does not accept.

So my plan is to force stop the app, like you can do in iOS. For obvious reasons, I cannot enter the settings app and force quit the app conventionally.

texts: Bypassing account verification on a Nook BNTV450

texts:
I recently bought a Nook BNTV450 from someone on Ebay, to replace a like model that I used for years until it was damaged in a fall.  I got stymied early in the setup by the message "This device was reset. To continue, sign in with a Google Account that was previously synced on this device."

I reported this to the seller, who simply apologized and offered a refund.  Probably I should just give up and buy a newer model Nook, but I really liked my old device, and this is also my third attempt at replacing it (don't ask) and I hate to admit total defeat.

First, I contacted two separate chat support people via the Barnes and Noble web site, who both told me to do a factory reset from the recovery menu.  That didn't work, of course.  Then I called and spoke to a real person, who just flatly told me it was impossible to use the device without the previous owner logging in.

Nearly all pages I've found when searching for the lock message have focused on phones, not Nooks, but one answer on this site got me reasonably far; I'm able to access the general Settings menu.  However, when I repeatedly click the "Android version" button on the "About tablet" menu, it doesn't activate the developer settings.  Instead, one of the following two images fills the screen:

All I can do at this point is click the back arrow to return to the "About tablet" menu.  Develop settings are not enabled.

Other pages suggest one should click repeatedly on other "About tablet" buttons to activate developer settings, such as the "Build number," but only the "Android version" button has any effect on my device.

Even if I were able to turn on developer settings, the Stack Exchange answer I linked to above says the next step is to attach the device to one's computer with a USB cable, but the Nook doesn't have a USB port.  Then one is supposed to run an adb command.  I've installed Android Studio for Linux, but it doesn't come with an adb command.

Is there any way to reset my Nook so I can use it, either by continuing the process described above, or any other way?

when starting one of my rooted Z740 AT&T phones, it, after about 30 seconds, starts by stopping Google play services, then after about 5 consecutive of those most apps start crashing and the only way to open any app is using iSwipe from Clean Master.

I cannot to a reset as in the way through the settings won't do anything, and my volume keys are broken.

any Idea to suppress the notifications, or better, reset the device is greatly appreciated.

Usb debugging has been enabled before hand and works fine

texts: How to determine what if any charge will actually occur when sending to an SMS short code

texts:
I keep getting texts from a short SMS number asking me to fill out a survey, or reply "STOP" to stop getting these messages.  But when I reply "STOP", Android gives me the message:

this may cause charges on your mobile account

I did a Google Search for this message and found one specific service which said this is just referring to whatever charge your provider assesses to send texts, so with unlimited texting there would be no extra charge.  But the number that is sending me this message is not the service the web site is referring to, and I want to make sure that I'm not charged some extra amount just to opt out.

Is there some place I can do a lookup on the number that is texting me to see if there will be a charge and if so how much?  I have replied to other short codes before without ever having got this message so I assume there must be something to this number that I might need to worry about.


texts: Can I route a call via SIP based on a phone number?

texts:
My Android 4.0.4 phone supports SIP. However, the options when to use the "Internet calling" are very limited: "For all calls", "Only for Internet calls", "Ask for each call".

I would like to use Internet (SIP) calls for all calls outside of my area code (e.g. all international and long-distance calls should go via SIP, and local calls should go via my regular voice account).

Is there any application, patch or tweak that can help me with that? My phone is rooted.


texts:
I'm trying to get the hang of Tasker but failing a bit.
I was wondering if somebody could explain how to create the following profile? I think if I manage to go through an intermediate profile, I'll understand it better.

So basically, I want a profile that duty cycles my Wifi/Location/PowerSaving mode when the display is off or the device is locked and do so differently depending on the time of day.

What this means is the following:

If day (say from 6:30-22:30)

=>Then if the screen is locked or the display is off for longer than X seconds (say 60s)

====>Then disable wifi, location and enable powersaving

====> And

====> Every 3 minutes, activate wifi and location for X seconds and turn off again(enough to ====>retrieve email, facebook messages,  etc... I think 15 seconds?)

Else (so if it is night, not day)

=>Then if the screen is locked or the display is off for longer than X seconds (say 60s)

====>Then disable wifi, location and enable powersaving

====> And

====> Every 30 minutes, activate wifi and location for X seconds and turn off again(enough to ====>retrieve email, facebook messages,  ====>etc... I think 15 seconds?)

So, can somebody help me set this up?
