texts: Why does my phone keep asking me to select an input method?

texts:
I bought a Samsung Galaxy Nexus a couple of days ago, and set it up so I can use both an English keyboard and a Russian one.

Since I did that, though, my phone asks me over and over to select an input method. There is usually a notification in the bar at the top of the screen, and if I set an input method, it will go away for an hour, but then it will be back.

How can I get it to stop asking?

texts: Mounting external sd-card on rooted Android 7.1 tablet fails, but only if partition not empty

texts:
Edit: I have tried mounting the sd-card with an empty ext4-partition, and it worked just fine, but after I ran debootstrap on the sd-card, the problem reappeared with identical symptoms.

I want to mount an ext4-formatted sd-card, but

 # mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 mountpoint

returns

 mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 on mountpoint/ failed: Invalid argument

So far I have:

made sure the sd-card itself is OK (mounts fine on my debian laptop)
made sure the block device is the right one
replaced mount with busybox mount , which is a different binary, but gives the same error

The mountpoint exists, and the kernel supports ext4. My device is a rooted Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 running a Lineage OS 14.1 ROM (Android 7.1), SELinux is set to permissive.

Any pointers are appreciated!

However, when I click on DCIM or Pictures nothing comes up. Similarly, nothing happens when I click on Camera.

texts: MyMobiler unnable to connect to device (via WiFi)

texts:
I have a task for my company to remotely control Android devices in the whole company from PC. So I need an app which could control Android Device from PC (not vice versa). I found an app called MyMobiler (http://mymobiler.com/index.html). This app allows me to view/control Android device from PC. You just need to download an app from Google Play and standalone program for PC.
Everything works fine with USB (I can control and view the device from PC), but when I try to connect it via Wifi, I am unable to do it. Basically I get an IP address on my Android device, and I write this IP address in the "Connect IP" window (http://mymobiler.com/android-wifi-keyboard.html). But when I press "Connect", I wait for about 30 seconds and get an error which say "Unnable to connect your device ..... [my IP address]". Any ideas? Thank you for any responses and appreciate any help :)

EDIT: This is how I get IP address of the network on my Android phone:
I downloaded MyMobiler app from Google Play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mymobiler.android). When I first launch it, I have to turn big blue button ON (http://mymobiler.com/android-setup-start.html) and when on my PC, I have to press "Connect" button to connect with USB. When in my Android app the screen changes from localhost to IP address. This is how I get IP address. When back to PC I press "Connect IP" and typ this exact IP (for ex.: 192.168.2.132). When I press "Connect" and after 30 seconds waiting, I get "Unnable to connect device ...[my IP]"

texts: Problems rooting Samsung Galaxy S: SuperOneClick stops responding at step 7

texts:
I am having an awful time trying to update my new Galaxy S to ICS. I found a well rated ROM .zip on code.google.com but first I need to root the phone so I can unlock the bootloader. I have been googling all week and read lots of posts saying SuperOneClick is the way to go, but it keeps freezing. It gets to step 7 and stops. There are many threads out there where people say they have the same problem as me, but there is no answer to these posts, or the response is 'well it worked for me', which isn't much help. I also thought of giving Odin a go, but I do not believe my ROM is compatable (doesn't have PDA, CSC etc. elements to select). There must be something I'm missing or the tutorials I've read have left out. Or something else stopping SuperOneClick from finishing it's task.

I get no error messages during the rooting process. SuperOneClick just plain stops responding.

Samsung Galaxy S i9000
Android Gingerbread 2.3.6
Bootloader 3e
ROM ICS_4.0.3_MR1-RC4.2_I9000.zip from code.google.com (http://code.google.com/p/ice-cream-sandwich-sgs/)

texts: How do I prevent Whatsapp displaying entries in the contacts app?

texts:
Whatsapp is creating duplicate contacts on my Android phone. I know that the duplicates belong to Whatsapp because:

I have checked the Android contacts storage database, which confirms the duplicates come from Whatsapp and
By going to Settings > Users & accounts and deleting WhatsApp, all of these duplicate contacts are gone. They re-appear when I restart WhatsApp.

The prevailing wisdom (e.g. this answer) is that to rectify this issue just go to the contacts app, click on the three dots, select "Contacts to Display", and deselect Whatsapp. However, when I do this, I select "Customised view", but Whatsapp does not appear in the list of accounts which I can show or hide.

Is there any other way to hide Whatsapp's contact list from within the default Android contacts app?

Things I would rather avoid:

Revoking contacts permissions for Whatsapp. If I do that, I won't be able to see the names of contacts any more from inside Whatsapp.
Using a different contacts app. This is just avoiding the issue, rather than trying to fix it.

The phone is a Xiaomi Mi A1, and the OS is Android One, version 8.0.

So to turn on I am having to restart the device and make sure it is awake

So factory reset didn't help (erase all data).


texts: Can I flash an unlocked G900T bootloader on a G900A?

texts:
I have a G900A and a G900T (short story: couldn't live any longer with the locked bootloader on G900A so I bought a G900T to use on AT&T). It's possible to flash a custom recovery/ROM onto the G900A, but it seems that the bootloader will recognize things as not being signed on boot and will not allow booting.

However, if I were to flash the G900T's bootloader onto the G900A, I could potentially bypass this restriction. Since it's basically the same hardware, it should theoretically work. Not wanting a hard brick, is my logic correct? What facility examines if the bootloader is signed? Will it allow me to flash an unsigned bootloader in Odin? Is the bootloader truly the source of the locked problem?

texts: Unlock Bootloader on Samsung Galaxy S6 AT&T

texts:
I'm trying to root my phone, and I was told that because I own a Galaxy S6, I need to unlock my bootloader. My carrier is AT&T, which makes it apparently even more difficult. I've tried things such as fastboot, which will get stuck telling me waiting for device input. I'll look that up, and it turns out I need to install PdaNet if that happens. Of course, PdaNet is blocked by AT&T and there's no way to install it.

I've found at least a dozen articles and the like on the matter, and none of them have worked. If anyone's got some advice, or even just a flat-out "it can't be done", I'd greatly appreciate that. I'd also like to know if unlocking the bootloader is necessary, and if it isn't, I'd love to know what I've been doing wrong, and what my next steps should be or what guides are good and up-to-date. Thank you all in advance!

texts: Reviving my phone after a small part of it (eg the processor) overheated

texts:
I tried to compress my 1.6GB video in the Media Converter app by exporting it to mp4(h264,aac) on my OnePlus 3 as per https://www.quora.com/How-do-I-reduce-video-size-on-Android. However, approximately 75% of the way through the conversion (after about 30 minutes) my phone overheated and turned off (with the screen going black immediately and no shut-down procedure). I tried to turn it on in the normal way, but it would not turn on. After leaving it to cool for 5 minutes, I plugged it back into the charger and it immediately turned on automatically (displaying battery at 30%).
I tried to compress the video a second time, this time putting my phone on an ice-pack to keep it cool and leaving it on charge. I touched and checked the front and back of the phone regularly to ensure it was remaining dry, was not cooling too much because of the ice pack, and was not overheating (it remained at something like 20 degrees C, approximately the same as the top of the ice pack, through most of the process - although the bottom of the ice pack remained cold). This time it turned off after 45 minutes, 1 minute before the conversion was due to complete. Immediately after it turned off I noticed a very small area near the speaker (I assume near the processor) was overly warm (though not hot). I assume the heat could not escape fast enough from the hot processor into the body of the phone. Maybe the internal thermometer was closer to the ice-pack than the processor and 'tricked' into thinking the processor was cool. Now my phone is not turning on, displaying anything on the screen, or vibrating, even after plugging it into the charger and unplugging it many times over the past 12 hours. What can I do to try and revive my phone?

Except, I know the phone can do this without an app - I know this because it actually started to, and managed to unzip a few files before I hit the "back" button (on accident; I was trying to back out of something else when it popped the unzipping on me). I have those files in a directory next to the .zip file.

I found out about this website through androidguys.com and I'm giving it a first shot. :)

I remember when I had my Fascinate which is Samsung Galaxy S, I had Voodoo Sound Control app which helped to improve the sound quality tremendously. So you can imagine my surprise that when I got my Galaxy Nexus(Verizon), the app wasn't supporting it.

My question is, will we ever get Voodoo Control support? It's been awhile since the phone came out but the app didn't get updated yet. This led me to assume that it's either impossible or the developer dropped its support. If it will not get Voodoo Control, what other choices are there?

I'm currently using Volume+ and have tried PowerAMP, Neutron, and PlayerPro. All these do are some EQ and volume increase. They have nothing to do with hardware level sound modification.

texts: Can't change stock bootanimation to something else on my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge

texts:
So I rooted my device and I downloaded this app called "Boot Animations" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.apps.boot.animations&hl=en
I found one I liked and installed it. From what I've seen the bootanimation.zip is in system/media. Which is where mine got installed so I placed the right permissions for it and rebooted my phone but my provider's animation keeps playing. So I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if it is located somewhere else? My phone model is SMG935.

I just got a new MacBook 2016 with Mac OS Sierra installed, after setting up my complete development environment and all required tools via Android Studio, I tried to flash a new Android Wear release on my watch.

ADB is working without issues, but as soon as I try to run any fastboot command (other than fastboot help) it will completely freeze and never finish.

It is just stuck with no output at all.

I already tried to run it with sudo or reinstall it via the SDK Manager, I also tried different standalone fastboot binaries provided on XDA developers.

There is nothing which seems to make it finish. Even "ctrl + c" won't exit the running command. Only killing it via the process list will work.

texts: How can I automatically re-connect to a WiFi network?

texts:
In this question I am asking about how to stop my WiFi from disconnecting.

If I won't find an answer to that, the next best thing is to get my phone to re-connect automatically. The disconnect reason is: "Class 3 frame received from nonassociated STA"

I am on a rooted device running cyanogen mod on Android 5.

I'm using AFWall+ and OpenVPN, if that is relevant. OpenVPN is set to re-connect automatically already, which works.

Due to AFWall+ blocking non-vpn traffic, whenever I connect to WiFi it says "There is no Internet connectivity, do you still want to connect? [Yes/No]", ticking the "Don't ask again" box has no effect.
This might be relevant and if the phone does automatically reconnect, I obviously don't want this pop-up to prevent an automated re-connect.


texts: What's the perfect internal storage preserving technique? Does link2sd and data2sd interfere?

texts:
I have a rooted ZTE Blade with a fast 8 Gbyte SD card (it's fast enough, and partitioned to 6G + 2G) running on CM7, and I'm using LINK2SD, but I'm not perfectly happy with it. Altough, LINK2SD is far better than APP2SD I've used before, and all the apps are now linked to SD card, but somehow, I'm just getting low on internal space. I've read somewhere that private data is what remains on the internal storage. How can I kick everything out of that internal storage?

Can I use DATA2SD and LINK2SD together?
What about Simple2Ext?

Also, I've read that Titanium Backup can install stock app updates to the System partition. (That one thing I haven't done yet, my System partition on internal storage is "too big", I should repartition it.)

Is there a solution for this?

texts: Stolen phone - does Android Device Manager's lock override the thief's password?

texts:
I'm currently trying it on another phone and it seems that as long as I have a pattern lock set up, the ADM lock screen shows up but the old pattern is requested instead of the remotely set password. The stolen phone had a simple swipe lock (Android 5.1) - if the thief set up a pattern/pin in the meanwhile is the ADM lock basically useless?

Okay, in my case the thief can definitely still use the phone - he receives WhatsApp messages and can read them eventhough I've set up the remote lock over 50 times. This is absolutely revolting - an utterly useless feature. I can guarantee he's not circumventing it another way - if they were even at the least bit technically savvy they would have wiped the phone, switched the Google account or at least disabled ADM long ago.


texts: Samsung galaxy ace s5830 in boot loop and usb download doesn't work

texts:
I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace s3850 which had a problem with the wifi connection. As described on many forums the solution is to root the phone and then enter a code into the phone. It is needed to reload the wifi driver and is explained here

Needless to say driver loading was unsuccessful after rooting and entering various code combinations. The phone has always been low on space and having recently found how useful link2sd was as well as the possibility to have a custom rom which increases performance I tried this route.

On this page they describe how this could be done on my phone:

I tried following the steps exactly, except that there was never an option to clear dalvic-cache (no advanced settings) on the phones recovery menu. Also, the phone needs the home+start combination to go into recovery, not volume(up)+home+start (which takes one to the quick download I think).

It seemed to go well except that on reboot it didn’t go out of the Samsung logo screen after about 20 minutes. I read that this is too long and thus took out the battery and restarted. This didn’t help and the loop continues.

I thus tried to restore the factory stock rom using odin but every time I set the phone to download mode (volume(down)+home+start) the yellow download text comes up but windows comes up with usb device not recognised. The usb drive worked well before this when I needed to upload the google apps and custom rom file to sdcard as required before upgrading to custom rom. I even tried kies software (also removed kies from tasks when trying odin again so as to not clash).

I also tried various other custom roms to see if this does the trick but every time I go into recovery mode I get the following screen text:

  Android system recovery <3e>

  Reboot system now.

  Applying update from sdcard

  Wipe data/factory reset

  Wipe cache partition

  Test redbend

  …….Green icon……

  -- Appling Muti-CSC –

  E:failed to mount  /system (Invalid argument)

When I select “wipe data/factory reset” I get:

  -- Wiping data…

  Formatting /data…

  E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/stl13

  Formatting /cache…

  E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/stl14

  Data wipe complete.

When I select “wipe cache partition” I get:

  -- Wiping cache…

  Formatting /cache…

  E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/stl14

  Cache wipe complete.

Rebooting goes into the same logo loop screen.

Now I am stuck with a phone which I suppose could be called a tile (not brick, its too small for that). Any help would be much appreciated.

texts: Can I recover the events deleted from my phone local calendar?

texts:
I have an LG P700.

Yesterday I tried to use LG PC Suite to back it up. PC Suite got stuck at some point of the process and asked me to disconnect the phone and restart it, in spite that the screen of the phone had a warning not to touch it. I rashly followed the PC Suite instructions and restarted the phone. After doing so, I found that no backup had been created and all the events in Google Calendar had disappeared. Everything else in the phone seems to be working fine. I was using the phone local calendar, and I didn't have it synchronized to the cloud.

About an hour before I started the PC Suite backup I set up the Backup & Reset options for my Google account (Settings -> Backup & Reset), so I understand that the phone started to back up itself automatically at that point. I don't know if this might help.

So, is there any way to recover my lost events? I'm really crossing my fingers here 'cause I lost around 400 - 500 events.


texts: How to keep the extension code of outbound dialing?

texts:
We can dial (555)555-5555,2000 so as to reach the extension code 2000 on Lollipop and later.

However, the call log shows only (555)555-5555. I tried a couple of call log apps and dialer apps, but it seems the same. This results in an inconvenience: I can not see to which extension I dialed when I see the logs (e.g. ext 2000 to John, or 2001 to Bob, etc).

Is there any setting or way to keep the extension number for outbound calling in the log?

texts:
I am having problems setting the kernel to permissive (SElinux). I have already tried the setenforce 0 command with terminal but it immediately goes back to enforcing as soon as I set the setenforce 0 command. So I finally got fed up and decided to monitor what was actually going on in my phone by using a logcat. After looking at the logcat, I found a line of code that could be setting the kernel to enforcing by default.

Here is the code:

/audit   ( 6001): type=1404 msg=audit(1479393162.929:264): config_always_enforce - true; enforcing=1 old_enforcing=1 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295

The config_always_enforce is set to true so that means I should probably set this to false.

Unfortunately I don't know where this value is in my system. Does anyone have any idea? I have a Galaxy S6.

Also, I removed all the Knox apps, but everytime I reboot, I get Knox folders reappearing and a file called knox emulated in the /storage folder. Have I not removed all the Knox apps?

I will post my logcat that way ya'll can take a look at it.

I hope you all can help me because I really want a custom ROM so I can use Xposed.

I have recently submitted an app to the Android market to quickly realize that I had left in a bit of code that needed to be removed. I quickly re-submitted a new version but was wondering if the market makes you download version 1 and update.

If anyone has any ideas or would like to help me out by maybe downloading the app and letting me know which version you were given that would be great - App Link.


texts: Google Play store asks to uninstall apps on sd card to free up space for new installations

texts:
My phone internal storage has very less free space (about 450 MB), which is why I cannot install any new app, or update existing apps.

When I go to play store and click on any app to update, it asks me to uninstall apps to free space. However, the list also has apps that are completely on the sd card. When I click on the check box adjacent to an app that is on sd card, play store says that the required space has been freed.

But how is this possible? Apps on sd card should not take any space on internal storage other than cache. On the other hand, updates are always installed on internal storage. So, how can an app on SD card free up space on internal storage?

For example, consider the following app which is on SD card:

I want to update an app, which requires 46MB storage space:

When I tick the check box adjacent to it, play store says that space has been created for update to get installed:

texts: Why does Android drop files I transfer to SDCard while in recovery mode?

texts:
Here's my situation:

I have a Sprint Samsung Nexus S 4g.  It is rooted, unlocked, and loaded with CyanogenMod 10.1.
I am attaching it to a Windows 8 machine via USB cable.

Recently, the phone went into a boot loop, and thus I can only do anything with it in recovery mode.

I'm trying to transfer the stock ROM to the phone for loading.  I follow these steps

I boot into Recovery mode
I go to Mounts and Storage
I mount the USB card
In Windows, I open up the phone in explorer, and copy the update.zip file to the root of what is now the G: Drive on my phone.
I  try to load the ZIP file for processing.  Recovery says "Can't open file /sdcard/update.zip"
I reboot into recovery again to 'refresh' things.

At this point, the file that I loaded is gone!  It's not on the SD Card anymore.  I can't find it via Recovery mode, and if I remount the USB disk, it's not visible in Windows either.  Weird, huh?

One other thing to note:  I've wiped and reformatted everything I can via Recovery (Cache, system, data, Dalvik, everything) and yet when the phone occasionally manages to boot all the way to the OS, I can still see my wall paper.

How can I get the files I copy over to actually stay on the phone?  Any ideas on what is going on?

I just want to wipe this phone and start over, but I can't seem to make that happen.

Thanks.

More:

Okay, I formatted and wiped everything that I could.  And now the phone only boots to fastboot mode.  I mount the USB card, move a ZIP over, and double check it in Windows.  I can open the file on the phone.  But when I unmount the USB card (I have no choice), the ZIP is there, but the phone won't read it.  It says "Can't open  (bad)".  This is trying with CM9.1 and I'm 100% sure it is the right version for my phone (crespo4G)

texts: iOS' Quick Reply feature on WhatsApp for Android

texts:
Recently I got my first Android phone, LG G3 and updated to the Android Lollipop, the latest OS ver. The transition from iOS isn't smooth as I thought and this because I'm trying to find how to enable simplest features that came with iOS as default.

One of them is the option of receiving message in WhatsApp. In iOS, if the screen is locked and I get a message, I can see a preview of the message and by swiping, I can get to write back to the sender (whereas user or group). In Android, I just see i.e "50 messages from 3 conversations".

"Slide to reply" on lock screen

I saw that I have the option in WhatsApp to "Always show pop up". Well, this brings any message from group (which I disabled) or users (which is enabled) with popup window and waiting that I'll type my response, I just want to see the little preview and if I want to respond I'll click on the specific message.

Is there any way (alternatively, 3rd-party apps) to have that feature? I have tried an app called NiLS & Notification Toggle, but it doesn't feel like this is it.

I have a Galaxy S3 mini (running 4.4.2).  I configured my SIP account in the corresponding part of the settings, I told Android to accept incoming calls over SIP, it is properly registered.  I then told Android to use SIP calls (it calls it "Internet calls", apparently) whenever I have a wifi connection.

This seems to work OK: if I'm connected over wifi I can make phone calls even without a SIM card.

But now "Messages" doesn't seem to obey those settings: if I don't have a SIM card, and I try to send a text message, it just tells me "No signal found for mobile networks".  How can I tell "Messages" to use SIP when I'm connected over wifi?

Alternatively, I see in contacts that I can add an IM address, so I figured maybe I could add SIP address in there (would be less convenient since I'd have to remember whether to send over SMS or over SIP), but SIP does not appear among the supported protocols in that field (it does include many protocols, tho, including Skype, Jabber, Hangouts, AIM, Yahoo, ICQ, and then some).  How can I add a SIP address in there?

Ok.  So, lucky me, I just got a galaxy s4.  Unfortunately it's the AT&T version, already updated to MK2.

It is rooted, and I've gone through and removed all the bloatware apps through Titanium backup.

My question is, now that I've got this basic stock system, how can I make a Odin flashable tar out of it?  I mean a complete one... bootloader, system, phone, etc...


texts: How to fix “fastboot FAILED (command write failed (No such file or directory))” error?

texts:
I was trying to flash TWRP recovery image in my MI 8 SE on my windows 10 laptop. I can detect my device in fastboot mode, but when i try to flash the image i get this error

target didn't report max-download-size

finished. total time: 0.008s

My phone then exits from the fastboot mode and i get a black screen with a tiny text at the top left corner of the screen "Press any button to exit" or something like that. When i try to flash the same recovery imaget on my windows 7 pc it flashes without any problem. Not sure what the problem is i've tried installing drivers for the phone and trying different usb ports but nothing help. I can detect the phone when it's turned with no problem.

texts: How to record videos with LG G2 Mini with a lower quality or resolution?

texts:
Is there a way to force the camera app of the LG G2 Mini to record videos that don't take up a large number of mb for just a few seconds of video? I think it's recording at 1080p, or some other high number. I can't record pass 1 minute it seems, or it'll take up near 1gb of memory (or maybe 500mb, I can't remember).

I looked at the settings of the camera, and apparently there's no other resolutions available, aside from the one that allows for records of .3gp (I think?), but it has a 30 second limit.

Is there an app that allows one to record videos at a lower resolution?

I believe I tried months ago to follow some tutorial where you'll have to edit a system file, but it doesn't work.

So if someone can direct me to a tutorial to deal with this issue or an app it would be greatly appreciated :D I can literally not use my cellphone for video recording for any normal purpose due to the recordings hogging up a huge amount of memory. It's been months since I last attempted to video record anything.

texts: What's causing the Sirius XM app to stutter even with a good 3G signal or WiFi connection?

texts:
More often than not, the Sirius XM app has trouble streaming content when the screen turns off - it will replay the same buffered audio in a loop (usually 20 or 30 seconds worth) until I turn the screen on and unlock the screen.

This happens even when using WiFi - when going 8 feet to my PC (where the wireless router is) and logging into the XM Radio Online site, there are no problems streaming content.

Is there a way to give network priority to an app when the screen is off? Is this a common problem with other apps?

I have an HTC Droid Incredible (with the 2.2 update).

texts: Bricked phone due to cut-pasting of apk files

texts:
I accidentally cut all the .apk and .odex files from /system/apps/ and pasted onto the SD card instead of copying and pasting them. My phone is totally bricked. Stuck in a boot-loop and factory reset doesn't work (as I had assumed it wouldn't). I cannot connect ADB to it because Android OS never actually loads (hence the boot-loop). I know there's a way to fix this I just dont know how to do it yet. PLEASE HELP ME DO THIS! This is a learning experience for me (good and bad).

The phone in question is a Kyocera Hydro C5171 from Cricket. It has Android 4.0.4 ICS. It is rooted (that's how I was able to accomplish this horrible act of murder to my precious phone). I need to figure this out please and will do all the homework on the subject myself if only I could get pointed in the right direction! I just don't know where to begin. I believe that I have only one option (this is just an assumption, please don't judge me):

I have to flash the stock ROM onto the phone. If, indeed, that is the case I require a copy of the stock ROM first (I may not be searching for it right, but I can't seem to find it anywhere on the web. Any help on where I can find this is GREATLY appreciated!!).

Second, From what I've been reading Kyocera has locked the bootloader on this particular device and flashing the ROM is extremely difficult for seasoned veterans of this game (If this is true I will definitely need an instructor to properly guide me through the process).

Third, I have no effing idea how to even begin flashing ROMs, so, here also, I will require some form of instruction or at least be pointed to a URL that contains a decent guide to accomplish what I'm trying to do.

Updates (from the comments):

I've got neither custom recovery nor a Nandroid backup
I can boot into stock recovery (wipe cache, wipe data, or reboot, see this screenshot), but my device is not discovered in this mode by ADB (latest drivers installed on my PC)


texts: Google Pixel video camera keeps freezing and audio often doesn't get recorded

texts:
I have a Google Pixel running android Pie, and lately I've noticed that when I record video, the video intermittently freezes, and audio also intermittently doesn't get recorded, with an error message informing me that the mic is being used by another app. I've checked and no other app is using the mic. The video camera freezing happens maybe a few times a minute, and each freeze could be a split second up to a couple of seconds.

I've done some informal testing on CPU usage while using the video camera, and the top 2 processes (according to top) are the following:

android.hardware.camera.provider@2.4-service
com.google.android.GoogleCamera

The first uses about 60-75% CPU, and the 2nd uses between 20-30% CPU. Is this normal?

Another possibly related symptom is that taking pictures on my camera is also pretty slow, and it could take a few seconds while I wait for a just-taken picture to be processed before I can use it.

What could be causing the freezing?


texts: Can I use my Nexus7 charger to charge my Android phone?

texts:
The Nexus charger has an OP Amp rating of 2A. The charger that comes with the phone has an OP Amp rating of 1A. Both have the same voltage. IP voltage is 100-250 V for both.

I googled and came across various posts saying how Li-ion batteries are smarter and how the phone will only draw as much power as it needs, and not more.

So essentially, the phone takes what it needs, and the charger is capable, but doesnt force its rated voltage on the device. Is this correct way of putting it?

Will it damage the battery in anyway? Or the charging circuit?


texts:
Does the Android OS allow for screen recording with audio? Is there an app that can do this?

I have been using android debug bridge to capture video of the screen, but that comes without audio.

I have tried a couple apps , but have not found any that do audio. I found one that uses the mic to record the speaker, which is obviously pretty crappy.


texts: Phone lists saved WiFi network that I do not recognize

texts:
I know my phone will not store WiFi hotspots unless I connect to them, but I've noticed one on my phone that I have no recollection of ever connecting or saving. It's out of range yet saved on the list.

I am wondering if there is anyway this is possible. Obviously if WiFi is on it will scan whatever is around, but will not store any of them unless told to. I'm wondering why I have one stored that I've never connected to or saved. Nobody else has used my phone.

texts: How to manage settings on an Android device remotely

texts:
I need to manage an Android device remotely. It is a tablet running Android 6.0 used by an elderly person, which alters the setting from time to time. (Or maybe the person does, who knows). I live very far away and need to manage this device remotely.
- check if WiFi is on and if not, turn Wifi on (already found an app for that)
- check if the location service is on and if not, turn it on
- restore the default launcher
- restore the Default keyboard

The device uses a slow mobile connection, so remote-desktoop as VNC/Temviewer is a no-go. Despite that, I do not want to manage the device over remote desktop, i only need to check the settings and alter them remotely.

texts: How to increase internal memory of the HTC Wildfire S finally?

texts:
I've been spending a lot of sleepless nights trying to fix this. I know there are a lot of threads like this on the internet, but I want to go a bit deeper.

I have an HTC Wildfire S with only 512 MB internal flash memory. This internal memory has a partition layout allocation around 130 MB for the /data partition and around 290 MB for the /system partition. Both of them are full. (In addition I got a 16 GB SD-card.)

Installing apps, upgrading apps, running most of the apps - impossible.

Now, I knew it's possible to move apps to SD-card, the so called apps2sd procedure which offers very limited functionality to move some of the application data to the SD-card. Anyways after moving every possible data to SD the internal memory was still full and the phone unusable.

I was reading about more sustainable methods like data2sd. I gave it a try. I used the instructions from htcdev.com to unlock the bootloader, I installed the latest ClockWorkMod Recovery and rooted the device permanently.

Finally, I used the rooted device to install Android 4.1.2 AOKP Jelly Bean Custom ROM and Data2SD like discribed in the linked articles. But I was stuck the device was not booting until I removed Data2SD. The AOKP-ROM was working pretty well and stable, but installing Data2SD simply did not work in combination with Jelly Bean (SD-card formatting: 11 GB FAT23, 4GB ext4 and 256 MB Swap).

Now, I tried to go for the link2sd approach. I reformatted my SD-card (14 GB FAT32 and 2GB ext4) and installed Link2SD on my phone as described here. I was able to move additional data and apps to my SD-card and could link some apps to the card.

And now after some days playing around with all that usefull tipps from the internet, for example this thread: What can I do to manage my phone's internal storage? - I am at the point where I started. This is my result: Internal memory is still full and the phone is still unusable. (I would love to post a screenshot, but taking screenshots simply does not work currently.)

How to finally fix my internal memory on the Wildfire S? Why is Data2SD not working with the Jelly Bean ROM and why is Link2SD so ineffective? Is there anything I'm doing wrong?

The main problem seems to be the Dalvik Cache on the /data partition (around 100 MB). Is there any way to completly use the SD card to somehow get partitions mounted at /data and /system?

texts: Photos made this afternoon disappeared after I rebooted phone - how to recover them?

texts:
This morning, since the memory of the internal storage reached its limit, I moved all the pics in the Camera album to the SD card. In the afternoon, I took a couple of pics which if I remember correctly were stored by default in the same album Camera (in the SD) in which I moved the other pictures in the morning. I checked them on the way home and they were still there. At some point, I wanted to edit one of the new ones but it kept giving me errors (no connection and "you can edit only pics larger than 50 x 50 pixels"- and I was surprised since they are always larger than that!).
I rebooted my phone, and when I opened the gallery the pics taken in the afternoon were gone (not to consider how many pics got corrupted among the ones I moved in the morning). I took other pictures, still ended up in the Camera folder (in the SD!), still editing error. I rebooted again, and they disappeared again.
Even weirder, after some time a retook some pics and these were saved in the Camera folder in the internal storage (Not in Camera SD!), and they are not disappearing anymore.
I already tried re-inserting SD. What can I do?


texts: Want to sync data (music) to sdcard on Android 7.0

texts:
I'm looking for something that would allow me to keep a folder (music files) in sync between a main folder on a PC and a folder on an external SDcard in a (not rooted) Android 7 phone.  Would prefer wireless, but at this stage would be happy with USB connection as well.

My attempts so far:

Run SSHDroid on android and rsync from PC.

SSHDroid lets me see everything, but any time I try to write to the external SD card, I get permission denied.  I can write to internal memory only.

Run network server from ES Explorer.

Same problem to SSHDroid.  Can't seem to write to the external SD card.

Mount phone on windows via USB and use PC sync tool.

While I can see the folders in Explorer (and can copy files to them), I can't seem to access them from any other windows app.  When I do "Save As..." in an application, I can't see the phone in the list of devices that I can save to.  So I can't seem to point any of the windows sync tools to it.  With Cygwin-based rsync, I don't have a drive letter to access.

MyPhoneExplorer.

This is a client/server app for the PC and the phone.  It's easy to configure access to the SD card and can sync data back and forth.  So this seems perfect, except the file sync portion doesn't like large folders. Small syncs succeed, but when I ask it to sync my music folder (over 15GB and 9000 files), the program crashes while trying to analyze stuff before the transfer starts.

Any other solutions I should be trying (or anything I might be doing wrong with the previous attempts)?

Actual phone is LG K20 V

Is it possible to Boot into Safe Mode on an Android Device, similar to booting up into safe mode on a Windows PC ?

An example being In Windows if you were infected with a virus you may want to immunize it in safe mode ? Is the same scenario likely with the Android OS ?

Perhaps it can be resolved in Safe Mode, if it exists ?

It is just something that came to mind and I thought might be worthy of asking !

Holding a 4.2 Galaxy Nexus still and taking a picture with auto settings and without flash in a relatively-very-well-lit nightclub takes about 3 seconds, and taking another picture right away takes another 3 seconds, seemingly indicating that both features are completely absent in stock 4.2.

texts: Tasker stops executing tasks after a certain period

texts:
For some reason I'm having problem with using Tasker on my Huawei Ascend P6:

Android: 4.2.2
My phone is running the official ROM (but rooted!)
Run Foreground is checked under Menu / Prefs / Monitor /Run Foreground

I had set up a simple profile that would enable wifi, enable data, turn on auto sync, .. every X minutes. After trying this out it became clear that after a certain period Tasker would simply stop running this profile.
For testing purposes I have:

Double checked that there are no task killers installed
Created a
profile of type "Time" that will Vibrate for 1 second from 07:00
every 2m Till 22:30
Enabled the "log to sdcard" functionality

After monitoring the log I have seen that there are no error but Tasker simply stops running the tasks after a certain period.

PS: I must say that I'm having the same issue with all other battery saving applications too (Juice Defender, GreenPower, Deep Sleep Battery Saver). They work perfectly until after a certain time they stop firing their events to enable the connection in the background.

Edit1: Below you can find a partial dump of the log that illustrates that it does actually run but that after a while it take way longer than configured.
As you can see at first it runs fine every 2 minutes while at some point it only runs every 10 minutes...

I also disabled the stock power manager using the below 2 methods to see if this might be causing the issue but it didn't not solve it:

1) Setting it to normal mode which results in the Power-manager doing no killing what-so-ever...

2) Removing the app (mv /system/app/hw-powermanager.apk /system/app/hw-powermanager.apk.backup) and rebooting the phone...

Any help?

I'm seeing problems identical to this issue, where Chrome either crashes, becomes unresponsive, or the screen goes black if I switch between tabs.  Logcat shows:

  OpenGLRenderer is out of memory

According to the Chromium issue, this stems from bugs in the Tegra video drivers.  For the Asus Transformer, it was fixed by a system update.  (I'm running the most recent ICS update on my Iconia Tab.)

Is there anything I can do to get Chrome working reliably on the A200, and is there any hope of Acer fixing their software?

My lock button was having some problems such as when I clicked it it wouldn't do anything or it would glitch and hold down, so I restarted my phone now nothing is happening, I can't get anything on the screen to work at all
I tried to boot into savemode, and download mode, dev move, nothing is working. I tried taking out the battery then trying, still didn't work. The most I can do is have it show "Samsung Custom" and then turn back off.

I was just trying to flash Lineage OS on my new Redmi Note 7, since MIUI kinda sucks, and it didn't really seem to work. So after a few tries and restarts, my phone started requesting the password for an email address I entered into my lock screen when I first got the phone, in case I'd ever lose it and someone would find the person could message me. But as it turns out, the m in my email address' .com is missing and the phone keeps asking for the email's password to start Android instead of the usual PIN code.

I figured I should just try wiping it completely, but after a lot of wasted time and energy, I still haven't found a method to factory reset it. Please help, I know this is a very specific issue, but maybe there is someone here who could just help me out.

texts: Is there some trick to block the Netflix "BangBang" sound?

texts:
That horrible sound that hurts my ears, on the start of every episode with Netflix logo...
I would even root my phone if that sound could be detected, filtered and blocked...
May be some app that when there is no sound playing for 10s, auto lowers the volume to a minimum?
I use headphone always - I need to - but that just worsens the problem...
These big companies and their lack of config options are quite annoying...


texts: Android 2.3.3 on Kindle Fire - lost internet conectivity after modifing /etc/permisions/platform.xml - FIX?

texts:
I tried to install an app that requested com.google.android.maps.jar.

It gave me INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY and after i runned adb install, logcat showed:

Package se.norstedts.svenskastora requires unavailable shared library com.google.android.maps; failing!.

So I copied com.google.android.maps.jar to system/framework.
Installed Google maps v5.12.0.apk from the device.
I tried to install the app again. Got the same error INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY because of the missing com.google.android.maps
Modified /etc/permisions/platform.xml. I appended at the end of the xml file in the "list of all the libraries available for application code to link against." :

<library name="com.google.android.maps"
        file="/system/framework/com.google.android.maps.jar" />
restarted device and discovered that i lost internet conectivity!!

I am still not able to install the first app, and didn't regain internet conectivity after i restored platform.xml to it's original form.

What should I do now? It seems to be a permision problem. Wifi connects with no problems. The apps cannot acces internet.

texts: THL W3 with v4.0.4 - periodically getting "Restricted Access Changed" and losing all SIM services

texts:
What happens exactly: when I use my SIM's data connection, after 1-5 minutes of operation (be it while the phone is active or locked), I get a notification "Restricted Access Changed", losing all SIM services -- voice and data. And I get prompted for my PIN. This only happens when I use the SIM's data connection. Using my home router's Wi-fi never introduces this problem.

I had this out of the blue since several weeks ago. I didn't drop or hurt my phone in any way.

I tried using SIM cards of 2 of my friends on my phone. They never had problems on their phones (their Android versions are more recent than mine, just pointing that out). Again, after 1-5 mins of idle/active operation on my phone, we get presented with the same error message and PIN input dialog.

I tried these:

Reset to factory settings -- no apps, nothing. Only started Play Store and locked the phone. Just a minute later, boom, the same problem.
Removed my SD card. No change.
Tried putting the SIM more firmly in the slot (used some paper to make it fit tighter). No change. Though, I only tried that once and not very stubbornly. I guess I'll try that again in the meantime.
In my mobile network, I only have the options of "GSM / WCDMA (auto)" and "WCDMA only". Using either of both doesn't change anything.
Switching off 3G seems to "fix" this, which is of course no fix at all since the network gets at least 3 times slower. Not to mention I can't view any video, etc. I can't count that as a solution.

Here are few links from my google hunt:

Restricted access changed (XDA-Developers)
Unlocked Chinese Android/Restricted Access Changed (Howard Forums)
"Restricted access changed" + "Voice call service blocked" (XDA-Developers)
Restricted access changed (XDA-Developers)
HTC One S is showing, Restricted access changed. Data service is blocked (XDA-Developers)

Some thoughts:

I didn't manually install new applications by the time the problem started occuring.
As said, I didn't drop or hurt the phone in any way.
My data plan is having a limit of 1.5GB. I rarely go over 500MB, and the last month was no exception (I am regularly checking the used bandwidth and traffic on the phone).
The phone is rooted. I am periodically getting BusyBox updates -- I suspect that might be the culprit since it updates a plethora of system files. But I admit that I am no expert in rooting and/or flashing Android phones, and the last sentence might have been an extremely nooby statement. Sorry if that's the case.
The problem is consistent: with 3G enabled and only using internet from my SIM (again, not through Wi-fi, the problem is not present there). However, there's no fixed period. It varies between 1 and 5 minutes, even though I had 2-3 cases where it worked properly for ~15 mins. I am suspecting that the moment the phone's networking hardware/software goes over a certain load, the problem occurs.

Steps I didn't try:

Flash a new ROM. Thing is, THL don't have more recent ROMs than the one I got the phone with when buying it off a friend. He downloaded the latest image from THL's website and flashed it, then rooted it. We never tried using unofficial ROMs.
Flash only the radio software. (I don't have an idea how this could be done, though.)
Call my mobile provider to ask if my IMEI is blacklisted. Or if they have a malfunctioning cell in the area. (Still though, that can't explain why the problem does occur 6km away in a park as well, so I don't think a malfunctioning tower/cell is to be blamed).
Go to repair shop for diagnostic/repair of the internal antenna. I would like to leave that as a last resort. From what I hear, this could easily cost $100. And that phone costed me $200. If I have to do this, I might just go and buy a brand new Galaxy S4 as well. Still, I don't want to just throw it away. Obviously, even if I replace it, I'd like to be able to sell it and not burn the guy I sell it to.

I am out of ideas now. Even though I am by no means an Android expert, I have tried quite a few possible solutions without any effect so far.

Can somebody help with this, please?
