texts: "Signature verification failed" when trying to install non-official Cyanogenmod 10 ROM for Sanei N10 Android tablet

texts:
Let's see if anybody can help me, because I'm pretty stuck with this.

I've tried to install the following ROM from xda-developers in a Sanei N10:

Unofficial CyanogenMod 10 for many AllWinner A10 tablets

I've installed it following the usual procedure:

Press Vol+ and Power to get the Recovery menu
Select Wipe data/factory reset
Select Wipe cache
Install the three ZIP files: "cm10_a10_20120913.zip", "gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip" & "n10_compatibility_1.2.1.zip"

The problem is, even though the first ZIP with the ROM installs successfully, the second one (the one with Google's apps) refuses to install, showing instead the message "signature verification failed". The same happens with the third ZIP (N10 compatibility).

So the installation doesn't actually finish. If I reboot the tablet, it runs Cyanogenmod 10, but the touchscreen doesn't work (I have to plug a USB mouse to interact with the operating system).

So what do I do to avoid the dreaded "signature verification failed" message? Just in case if it's of any help to identify the problem, I'll mention that I can see the Android bot laying down with a red triangle with an exclamation when entering the Recovery menu.

I've tried to use the ROM Manager which is preinstalled with Cyanogenmod 10, but when choosing "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" it says that "The SD Card needs to be mounted to use ROM Manager". Of course my MicroSD is properly mounted (I can see its files in the card from console, from the "Terminal Emulator"). I think this happens because the MicroSD is mounted in /storage/sdcard1 instead of in /storage/sdcard0, but I can't change that. I can't download APKs from the browser, either, because it also says something similar about not being able to access the SD (even though it's correctly mounted and I can see it mounted from Settings > Storage).

I've also tried the CyanogenMod A10 ROM available in this page, which is more recent (October instead of September):
http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/3870...mod-10-tweaks/
But the same happens.

I've even tried installing the CWM Recovery ROM, but it doesn't let me installing that from the Recovery either (same message about the "signature"), and with Odin3 it doesn't work either because I don't know how to reach the "download mode", which is needed for Odin3. Pressing Vol+ and Power I get the Recovery, but not the Download mode. Does anyone know how do I get to the download mode in the Sanei N10?

Any idea about how to solve this? Right now I have a tablet with no touchscreen and not even Google applications (so I don't even have the Play Store), so it's practically worthless (at least the WiFi works). How can I get this tablet back to being usable?

texts: Is it possible to flash a custom ROM without a custom recovery image

texts:
For an un-rooted device, almost all articles/forum posts I've read say that in order to flash a custom ROM you first need to flash (or boot) a custom recovery image like TWRP.

I'm not sure I understand why. If the bootloader is unlocked shouldn't it be possible to manually flash images that make up the custom ROM to the required partitions with fastboot flash <partition> [ <xxxx.img> ], and leave the stock recovery untouched.

I realize that this may be difficult and that there is no benefit in doing it this way, but I'm curious to know whether or not it is possible, and if not, why?


texts: What smartphone and/or app support voice dialing on speakerphone like Moto X 2nd Gen?

texts:
My last phone was the Moto X 2nd Gen.  The entire reason I bought the phone was to use its voice command features so I can call for help with my voice.  I'm in a wheelchair, and I refuse to pay for a life line if a smartphone has this capability.

The way the Moto X 2 worked was that you trained a voice command code phrase (with your voice) into the smartphone to unlock the phone.  When utilizing the phone's voice dialing feature, you'd say that code phrase (with your voice) to unlock the phone (or bring it out of sleep mode), and then say "Call {contact}" where {contact} would be the name of an Google Android contact.  The voice command result(s) get verbally read back to you.  If there are multiple, you have to repeat the correct contact.  It would then dial the primary phone number of that contact while also enabling speaker phone.

I tried the Google Assistant and Google Now and I'm unable to find a way to set things up with all of those features.  Google Now can call someone if you say "Google Now.  Call {contact} on speakerphone.", but you need to wake up your phone from sleep mode before "Google Now" will activate.  I've even tried Open Mic for Google Now, but it doesn't solve anything.

If anyone knows how I can get the features of the Moto X 2 on any other smartphone that has Android installed, or knows of an app with these features, with the use of speakerphone, please let me know.  I also would like to buy a phone with high quality microphone and audio hardware.

texts: Copy pictures to Windows with some files broken/corrupt

texts:
I want to backup my pictures from my Android 4.4 phone to my Windows PC but I'm struggling to copy them the normal windows copy way. It seems that at some point many of the images have somehow corrupted and since I have hundreds of pictures on my phone, finding the images one by one in File Manager (CyanogenMod) is a real hassle.

The normal windows copy mode fails when I try to copy the files off the device through USB which actually crashes the entire Windows Explorer process and I have to restart it from task manager.

Then I thought trying to copy in segments by going in to the Camera folder and copying piece by piece. But windows fails to fully read the directory (probably due to corrupt files) and again crashes Windows Explorer.

I also tried creating a zip file from the folder on the device but it seems to also fail making it.

How could I copy the folder to my windows pc even if it has some files corrupt/broken?


texts: Is there a location tracker installed to my Android phone?

texts:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 phone running stock Android 7.0. It's not rooted. I've left my phone unattended for 10 hours. I don't have a PIN code or any other security measure to unlock the phone, anyone can unlock it with a swipe.

How can I easily figure out if someone (possibly with physical access) has installed a location tracker or some similar unwanted app to my phone? Let's suppose the attacker is not working for Google, Facebook or Samsung, but may also have access to my Google or Facebook account (e.g. by stealing or guessing my password -- I don't have two-factor authentication enabled).

Please note that in this question I'm not looking for advice for protecting my phones and my accounts, I only want to learn about the presence of location trackers and other similar unwanted apps on my phone.

texts: The old AnkiDroid for Kindle Fire had an option to sync via AnkiDroid which imported decks from AnkiDesktop (super fast and used less data).  The thing is, I can only download about 2 gigs of data per month before my internet speed drops to 14.4kbps (which is like no Internet, honestly).  So, is this still possible in AnkiDriod 2.3.1?  If so, where is it?  And can't I interrupt the sync that's happening now without corrupting anything?  Because it's already 120 mb deep.


texts:
My Moto Droid has seen great performance improvements with each new Android version, and has been much more stable and reliable with each version release.

Recently I was in a situation where the phone just didn't think it had a cell signal, and then wouldn't disconnect the call that it couldn't place because of the non-existent cell signal.  Ultimately I had to reboot the phone to get it to be usable again.  This happened when I really needed to make a call and was a huge hassle.  Having a smart phone with tons of data network features is great, but I still pay more for minutes than I do for data (thank you US carriers...) so not having it function as a phone when I need it is very frustrating.

I'm running Android 2.2 and don't use many widgets nor do I keep many programs running that use background services (don't usually keep GTalk connected, etc)

Does anyone have any general tips or apps to avoid to help keep my phone stable and reliable?


texts: Android - how to keep launcher setting after reboot

How to keep a launcher after reboot?

(Android 5.0.2 - API 21)

EDIT:
My Phone is a Medion X5004.
I tried via the settings menu in MS-Launcher, and via system settings.

EDIT2:
I tested installing "Apex Launcher" and set it as default - also resets to Launcher 3. So it doesn't seem to be specific to MS-Launcher.

EDIT3:
MS-Launcher does not sit on SD-card.

EDIT4:
Wiping cache has no impact...

EDIT5:
Tried to chmod 440 /data/system/users/0/package-restrictions.xml while launcher set to MS-Launcher - after reboot the file has write permissions again and Launcher3 "greets" me.

texts:
I have a really weird issue in connecting my Samsung GS2 to my Ubuntu 14.04 system.

I found the ID via lsusb at first, and added a udev entry. Everything was perfect and I was happily ADBing away for a few minutes. Thereafter, I begun getting "Unable to mount samsung device" (or something similar) popups.

Since then, my GS2 doesn't even show up in lsusb. When I plug it in, the phone behaves as if it has just been connected to a wall charger; MTP doesn't work any more, while it used to fine. I've tried removing the udev config file, restarting phone and pc, and enabling/disabling debugging mode, but still there's nothing in lsusb. Everything works perfectly on my other windows machine.

What on earth is going on here?

I can't figure out how enable those rules outside of a working boot?

texts: Custom font in AnkiDroid in Android 9? (Kanji Stroke Order)

texts:
Short version
How to use custom font, namely Kanji Stroke Order, in cards in AnkiDroid which is running on Android 9?
Full version
I'm learning Kanji characters. It's important to learn also how to draw them - the order of strokes. This is shown in Anki cards by using a special font - Kanji Stroke Orders - and simply printing the character in card with this font. However, I'm unable to make AnkiDroid to use the font, but it was working on my previous device (Android 5.1).
The deck describes that the font file should be copied to fonts sub-directory of AnkiDroid directory. And that it might be needed to remove version part of file name. So I copied the fonts to following paths:

/storage/emulated/0/AnkiDroid/fonts/KanjiStrokeOrders_v4.002.ttf
/storage/emulated/0/AnkiDroid/fonts/KanjiStrokeOrders.ttf

Doesn't work (the character is drawn simply with Arial or something like that).
I found another way - Installing Fonts in Anki documentation. This guide describes following approach:

Add underscore to the font file name.
Copy it to "collection.media" sub-directory of "User 1" sub-directory of AnkiDroid directory. I couldn't find the "User 1", but there was "collection.media" in AnkiDroid directory, so I used that.
Add @font-face { font-family: myfont; src: url("_arial.ttf"); } to style section of a card and use font-family: myfont in style of the kanji text block.

So what I added to the style section is:
@font-face
{
  font-family: KanjiStrokeOrders;
  src: url("_KanjiStrokeOrders.ttf");
}

Then I added to card text:
<span style="font-family:KanjiStrokeOrders;">{{Expression}}</style>

And copied the font files to:

/storage/emulated/0/AnkiDroid/collection.media/_KanjiStrokeOrders_v4.002.ttf
/storage/emulated/0/AnkiDroid/collection.media/_KanjiStrokeOrders.ttf

And just in case, I also created files:

/storage/emulated/0/AnkiDroid/fonts/_KanjiStrokeOrders_v4.002.ttf
/storage/emulated/0/AnkiDroid/fonts/_KanjiStrokeOrders.ttf
/storage/emulated/0/AnkiDroid/collection.media/KanjiStrokeOrders_v4.002.ttf
/storage/emulated/0/AnkiDroid/collection.media/KanjiStrokeOrders.ttf

Still doesn't work, the text replacing {{Expression}} placeholder is still rendered in Arial (or similar).
Other notes

The /storage/emulated/0/AnkiDroid directory was already created and contains Anki data, similar to what is in ~/Anki/User 1 on my PC (Linux, Ubuntu).
I'm sure the cards/notes are correct (correct format, content, etc.), because it works on PC and worked on my older Android 5.1 phone (I used export/import to migrate and for backups). (I don't rember where I put the font file in my previous phone; the device screen died and so I cannot check now.)
It seems that the AnkiDroid actually see the font; in settings / Appearance / Default font, there actually is option to select Kanji Stroke Orders (all four versions - with/without underscore and with/without version suffix). When I choose it (and set Default font applicability to Always), nothing change. But the font is also available under Browser and editor font - when I set this one to Kanji Stroke Orders, it will change questions and answers in Card browser and field values in note editor. So the font seems to be recognized by AnkiDroid and working.


texts: Netflix over mhl (usbC to hdmi aadapter) what could cause fail?

texts:
I am wondering why when I start Netflix's app it fails to playback any video (even downloaded ones).
Youtube works just fine, it's only an app running on Desktop looking environment.

So is it the DRM that could forbid that without an app knowing, I am not trying to ask an app specific thing, but globally for any app if DRM framework is the cause. Like for instance when a banking app blurs out, it's not the app causing it, but the category of the app.

The full setup looks like this:

1 Samsung S10
A smart tv (MHL compatible)
1 cheap usb-C to HDMI adapter
A long HDMI cable
(which doesn't matter at this point, since we have a connection to the tv)
A Samsung Dex running
Target app is in maximized window

(Please don't flag the question if it's poorly written, I really think this is a problem that some people will find it useful if solved, especially if they want to watch videos using some evil DRM based apps)


texts: Do all current Android versions require rooting for bluetooth tethering (PAN)?

texts:
Looking at apps like "Wireless Tether for Root Users" and "tether Blu", and questions like "Are there any Android phones that allow Bluetooth PAN off the shelf?" it seems that Android would require rooting for providing Bluetooth tethering (PAN).

However another app "PdaNet 3.02" boasts that it "supports both USB Tether or Bluetooth DUN" and "does not require rooting". Also, coming from Symbian it would seem weird that what I've considered a basic feature isn't available without hacks.

I would try the PdaNet app myself, but the unfortunately it is incompatible with my phone, which is still running Android 2.2.

So what's the deal? Is bluetooth tethering available in 2.3 or will it require rooting even then?

(Apparently in some countries tethering as a concept is restricted, and thus blocked from phones. However, I live in Finland so my phone is not tethering-restricted in this way, e.g. Wi-Fi tethering (creating a Wi-Fi hotspot) is a feature available for me out-of-the-box.)


texts: Is there any old style keyboard (numpad style) available for Android?

texts:
I have a smaller screen Android Phone (LG Optimus One P500).

Does anyone know whether there is a keyboard available for Android phones that has an "old phone" style? Like a numpad style? Here's an image example:

The reason I'm asking for this style of keyboard is:

This style uses only 12 buttons. So the buttons are large and very spaced out. You can click on them easily without having to strain your eyes too much.
You can quickly keep clicking away without having to spell out each word because the dictionary will take care of that. So "moon" becomes 4 clicks on the numpad 6. How fast is that?

I sure personally feel that lots of people are used to this kind of keyboard layout (from the times before Android became so popular). I don't understand why I can't find keyboards with this kind of a simple layout but I would be very grateful if someone could help me find an app like this.

Edit: Forgot to mention. I'm not looking for paid apps right now but would consider it if they have a trial.

texts: Did the meaning of „Protection Level: signature“ change with Android 6?

texts:
The Developer documentation writes on the protection level "signature":

  A permission that the system grants only if the requesting application is signed with the same certificate as the application that declared the permission. If the certificates match, the system automatically grants the permission without notifying the user or asking for the user's explicit approval.

This was as I always knew it. But it seems to somehow contradict what the same documentation writes about WRITE_SETTINGS, which is marked as "Protection level: signature":

  If the app targets API level 23 or higher, the app user must explicitly grant this permission to the app through a permission management screen.

Does that mean the behavior towards this has changed with Marshmallow – and a non-system app using a different signature can still access functionality covered by it, provided the user agrees? Also, with the new "mentality" of automatically granting permissions of a group where the user already has another permission granted: is this permission also granted automatically then (like with all permissions of the protection level "dangerous") – or is the difference here that it always requires the user's agreement, no matter what?

Note 1: there were a lot of changes towards how permissions are dealt with in Android 6+. To not make a "too broad" question, I've tried to split it up; so for the other parts, please also see: Permission system changes with Android 6.0: What are the implications for us users? and Android 6+ and account permissions: where have they gone to?

Note 2: This definitely is of relevance to the end user, as it's about his/her data – and cross-checking permissions for possible implications should be part of the installation or rather app selection process. I'm not asking from the perspective of a developer on how to deal with that when writing an app (though that might be interesting at well ;)

texts: The current version of Firefox is not available from Google Play

texts:
I use Lineage OS on a Motorola G4 plus phone. I have Google Play installed and I can install and update all kind of applications (like Stack Exchange for instance).

I can also install Firefox but only the version 59.0.2. According to the Mozilla website the current version is 60. Until I updated Firefox manually (using side loading) the Firefox website warned me that my Firefox version was outdated (which it was).

Again Google Play does not show any issue on my phone. Other applications are installed normally and updated on a regular basis, even after finding the issue with Firefox. I tried to delete the data of the Google Play application on my phone, it did not change anything.

Do you have any idea why Google Play is offering me an older version of Firefox? Does anyone have the same issue? Could this issue be linked to regional or device restrictions?

It contained a shortlink (no, I didn't open it). I called the bank to notify them about those attempts and wanted to hand over the number, so they can try to take the account at its origin down. The problem was: I could not retrieve the number.

The device runs on Android v10.
Normally you can look up contact details by clicking on the senders name on top. This does not work for this kind of notifications.
It's not a Flash SMS. It's stored in the inbox permanently.

Note: I know this question sounds basic, but neither me nor other colleagues I ask (who also work in tech), could find out anything about this … not even an approach to take. So I thought to ask at the collective brain of technology: StackExchange.

texts: Samsung Galaxy S stuck in boot loop when 100% charged

texts:
Before we start I should mention that I have not messed with the firmware in any way. But it seems that whenever I put it on charge and it reaches 100% capacity I turn it on and it gets stuck in a boot loop. I have turned it off and on while it hasn't been on charge and it worked fine.

This happened once and I wiped all user data from the phone and it fixed it. But it's doing it again and I have tried looking around on Google but I cannot find a solution at all.


texts: How do I repair my Motorola Defy rebooting instantly after start-up?

texts:
I installed a few different operating systems (“ROMs”) on my Motorola Defy and I decided to (temporarily) go back to the original one, also known as “stock”, by using an SBF file. But now, whenever I try to start up my phone, it reboots almost instantly. I cannot do anything.

I tried booting in “Safe mode” as explained here (Power button + both volume keys). But that did not change anything. I also tried reflashing my SBF files multiple times, to no success.


texts: How can I fix Google Speech Recotnition misbehaving: When it starts SR it freezes

texts:
Symptoms

If I launch Google Now it seems OK (I can scroll the list of Cards, etc.) but if  speak "google" it does not start voice recognition and it freezes (can't scroll the 'cards' down, etc.) or simply exits.
If I manually touch the mic, it sometimes works but usually it just exits without doing anything.
Google Chrome search (entering search term as text) works fine.
Google Speech Recognition freezes similarly in other apps when I choose the Mic from the keyboard (I.e., SR instead of keyboard for text entry)

Update:
This seems to be a general problem with Speech Recognition. SR isn't working in any other app I tried it with.

What I've tried:

Verified that Bluetooth is disabled.
Factory Reset
Cleared all Cache
Updated Google Now
Verified the Settings>Voice>Hotword ("google') detection is enabled.
cleared the App Data (not just the Cache) (for Google Search)
I'm going to try to figure out how to disable the offline Speech Recognition next.

Any other suggestions?

I have a HTC One M8 and I split my adopted storage with adb like this:

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.10586]

shell@htc_m8:/ $ sm partition disk:179,32 mixed 80
shell@htc_m8:/ $ sm list-disks adoptable
disk:179,32

It seems to work, no error, and the phone shows the SD card as internal and external, but both as "beschädigt" - it doesn't work.

So I have to format one partition with the phone. And the result is, either the whole space of the SD card is internal or external; it depends on which part I choose to format.

Is there any help for this problem?

My screen on HTC Wildfire has gone blank and so have got my phone upgraded. Whilst the guy in the shop was able to transfer my pictures and video, when he tried to transfer my contact phone numbers he said he couldn't do that without putting the phone into debug mode, and he could only do that if he could see what he was doing on the screen.

PROBLEM: When I enable POI display, tons of orange circles make the map unreadable. 99.99% of these POIs are not from my OBF file, they are from the base OSM map.

QUESTION: How can I show only the POIs from my OBF file?

I can modify the OBF file if needed, for instance adding attributes or changing POI type if needed.

In the layers settings I see a "Create POI filter" dialog with a "User defined" item, might it be part of the solution?


texts: HTC Magic with OpenEclair: Factory reset doesn't work!

texts:
today I got an old HTC Magic phone with OpenEclair (Android 2.1-update) installed on it. Unfortunately there is still the Gmail account of another person linked with it, which I'd like to remove. However, for doing so, you need to do a "factory reset" on the phone. So did I, the phone rebooted, but the data (apps, settings and the account) was still there. Nothing had been removed!

Anyone has an idea what could be the problem and how to fix that?

Thx a lot!

I am using samsumg galaxy s3 mini. Couple of days ago, I changed the GSM operator I am using which has more signal strength and internet speed than old one. But I realized my phone's battery life decreased. With old GSM it was about 1.5-2 day. Now It takes about 1 day. When I look battery usage, It seems 'android OS' is most battery consumer.

Is this about GSM operator, or it is just a coincidence that my battery life decrease after I change GSM operator?

I have following Scenario:

I have two laptops (one have internet access while other do not), both laptops are on remote location (one in office and other in home).
I have to download some files on daily-bases (3 ~ 7 file having 500MB ~ 2000MB file size) for my office project and need these file in home as well.
I do not want to re-download these file in home so I use following procedure:
1) Download file in Office Laptop
2) Copy in (android) mobile (via SHAREit App)
3) Past in home Laptop (via SHAREit App)
4) Delete from Mobile
5) Delete from Office Laptop

Is it possible to do all these steps automatically?

texts:
On HTC one 4.3/5.5 I get a list of about 20 apps asking for permission to Android services.

These apps want access to your google account from now on
They are requesting permission to:
Android Services

If I select no thanks, it comes back a few hours later.   The other option is allow access

Some of the apps are - System UI - Android System - Key Chain - HTC Function Test v4.03.04g - Keep Alive - Settings

And so on.  While im not against allowing acess, Id prefer not to, but dont want to say no twice a day.

Why do all these apps want or need access to my google account?  Can I make it stop without granting access?  What happens if I grant access?

However, WhatsApp displays this as 2 contacts with the same name and no way of distinguishing between them. If I want to add them to a group I have to guess which one it is, then go into the group and select them, then I can view more details to see if I've picked the right one.
Is there any easier way to distinguish between them in WhatsApp?


texts: Phone keeps crashing and restarting after rooting

texts:
My phone (Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge SM-G925F) keeps crashing, freezing and/or restarting after I rooted it. Previously I also updated the firmware but the problem only rose after rooting it. I have tried both wiping cache and factory reset. Should I reflash firmware/unroot or try to re-root via Odin. I also checked it with Root Checker and it says it is properly rooted. Thanks

Update: I reflashed firmware again after phone shut down by itself and went into a bootloop, phone stayed frozen on the recovery screen for a long time giving me a mini heart attack. Could it be that Knox is making problems, the counter was tripped when I first rooted the phone.


texts: Does Andriod have an event viewer and how do I access it?

texts:
I have a new Samsung S7 for 3 months now - My phone crashes in a big way around once a month, I mean I can't even do the factory reset because I cannot get to the recovery screen, no buttons are responsive so holding them to get to the recovery menu is useless, I have to wait till the battery dies before I can recharge it and switch it back on so I can carry out a factory reset before it will crash again (usually 20 minute time frame before it will crash again).

I barley have anything installed (as this is my 3rd time of factory resetting my phone it gets boring re-adding apps etc so only the essential apps are installed whatsapp, bbc news, stock apps)

I work in IT, if this happened on a server I would go view the event viewer to find out what exactly was the root cause, or at least a clue towards why, my question is do android phones have an event viewer hidden away or is there something that I can install that will capture information?

The phone is on the latest firmware & android version and has not been modified or tampered with in any way shape or form.

Kind Regards

texts: Random crashes on Nexus 5 after installing (and uninstalling) Lollipop

texts:
I had been happily using a Nexus 5 for the past year until I did an OTA upgrade to Lollipop, after which it began crashing (powering off) multiple times per day without apparent pattern (sometimes during GPS navigation, during phone calls, while taking a picture, etc.)  In addition to requiring a reboot, these crashes sucked down battery.  I did a fresh factory install of Kitkat, which I expected to fix the problems, but they continued, even in safe mode.  Is there anything else to try, or is it time to buy a new phone?

Update: After posting, I installed the latest version of CyanogenMod, and my phone only crashed once, right after enabling location services for Twitter. Besides that, it worked fine, although it was not heavily used (on vacation) and battery life was poor (lasting only an hour or two). After getting back from vacation, I did the full wipe and factory install of Lollipop 5.0.1 suggested in comments. The phone crashed twice (sucking down battery) during the subsequent setup, although I made it through on the third try.


texts:
I have been using an IPSec Xauth PSK VPN connection via the built in client on Android for work since 2014 and have never had any problems with being on the VPN to connect to my workstation and still be able to access the internet at large at the same time. We do not forward traffic meant for the public internet through the VPN connection and nothing has been changed in our firewall config (Cisco ASA). My provider is TMobile and always has been. I use the same VPN on my other computers (Mac and Linux) without any issues still.
However once my phone was upgraded to Android 11 this stopped working correctly and it appears the built in client is now trying to route all traffic over the VPN instead of using the routes provided by the firewall. I've tried adding a specific forwarding route for the subnet my workstation is on but that didn't seem to do anything.
I have searched around several times since this has started but have as of yet to find any solutions that aren't the exact opposite of what I am trying to do (seems an awful lot of people want to route EVERYTHING over a VPN) or are for older versions of Android or talk about settings that don't exist. I have zero options for controlling whether all traffic is sent over the VPN or not aside from adding a forwarding route but of course that doesn't seem to make any difference with the connection.
I've tried both on wifi and on LTE with the same results. This wouldn't be such an issue if I could at least keep my Duo 2FA working but that has to work over an internet connection as well so it too is blocked while I am on the VPN.
Since I have to use an IPSec Xauth PSK connection I have as of yet to find any 3rd party VPN client's for Android that even support that option. Apparently most are meant for their own services or very limited VPN types. Plus I am not thrilled about allowing a 3rd party app any kind of control over the VPN I use for my job as a sysadmin.

texts: Dimming service still works after app uninstall

texts:
I have installed a sleep monitoring app (Sleep as Android) on my LG G3.

It has a feature that dims the screen when the monitoring starts.

It was very annoying, so I disabled it in the settings of the app.

In the mornings I stopped the monitoring and resumed using my phone.

For a few days now, in normal usage (even if I read emails, or even play games!), my screen dims until it becomes dark grey (it is not locked) and I can't undim it, just lock and unlock.

I stopped the application but the dimming kept happening.

So ultimately, I uninstalled the app.

The dimming still happens, so I presume the app had some service installed that makes the screen dim.

When my phone tries to lock itself (after 2 minutes of idle screen time), the dimming wakes it up and they fight! You can see how it looks:

Can I somehow uninstall the dimming service?

I have a Weimei We, it's an Spanish-Chinese brand, yes, really odd, anyway the other day I touched something in the system partition trying to remove the root (I rooted the phone a few months ago) and the phone wouldn't turn on again, so I started thinking how it could be fixed and it occurred to me that maybe flashing fastboot would be helpful, so I tried to flash the partition with an image that I downloaded from the internet(not really trustworthy but it was my only hope) but I was unable to write on the partition, I thought that maybe the bootloader was locked, that will explain it, I tried to unlock the bootloader using the fastboot commands

  fastboot oem unlock

and

  fastboot flashing unlock

a disclaimer appeared saying that it would void my warranty, etc... and when I pressed okay..... this

  Bootloader cannot be unlocked(or something like that)

I've emailed the manufacturer but they said they cannot provide me with the info to unlock the bootloader because they do not recommend doing that and telling me would be incoherent (asshole move)

I don't really know how the locking of the bootloader works, I guess the manufacturer has a private key zand cannot share it, but all the phones I had in the past, let me unlock it, I guess this happens to me for buying a "non commercial brand"

So my question here is, is there any way I can unlock it?

Thanks in advance

texts: Settings get global mobile_data always returns 0

texts:
On a rooted mediatek 6580 phone running Android 5.1.1, if data is enabled using svc data enable or even pulling down the notification bar, the command settings get global mobile_data shows an output of 0 instead of 1. As a result if running from a script, such like;
while true; do
sleep 10
if [ `settings get global mobile_data` == "0" ]; then
svc data enable
else
svc data disable
fi
done

This script turns on data successfully, but couldn't turn data off after 10 seconds, since settings get global mobile_data always returns 0. Where as, I did the same with wifi as in replaced mobile_data with wifi and svc wifi enable/disable Wifi seemed to do the job as expected. Turned on after 10 seconds, and after 10 seconds turned itself off and repeat. I wonder why it isn't the same with mobile data. Manually running svc data disable turns off data, but running from a script seems to be a problem in this case.

texts: How does android transfer with bump apps work?

texts:
I've come across several apps which allows the user to transfer data (like files, photos, contacts) when they "bump" their phones.

An example is Bump, which use the the bump to transfer files and add friends. The FAQ stated that this app uses various sensors and algorithms to "feel" the bump and the server will find matching bumps according to the sensor reading and algorithms. The FAQ also says that this app was designed with personal and data security in mind.

How exactly does it work? How does it know that I am toasting/bumping with another person? I mean I don't think GPS can track the phones that accurately. And how does it transfer the contacts and photos? And how can it correctly determine who is toasting with whom if there are multiple users in the same room? How is the security and confidentiality protected?


texts: Enable USB Debugging with broken touch screen and no physical buttons

texts:
I'm trying to fix a phone (LG G3 Stylus) that has been badly injured, so now the touchsreen doesn't work, and the only button that works is the volume-up one.

I need to backup some stuff (notes, calendar, contacts, and some apps data), so I was trying to add a Google account to sync the data.

Now I was going to do this by using an OTG cable, so I bought one (USB 3.0 A to USB C that has a USB C to micro usb adapter) to connect a mouse, but it didn't work.

Now I found this solution to control the phone with a Windows PC but it needs USB debugging activated.

Now that's the problem. How do I activate USB Debugging without the touchscreen. I read that I could get into recovery mode, but the power button doesn't work. What can I do?

EDIT 1: I found another app that allows me to control the device: Vysor. Now I still require USB Debugging enabled.

Now I tested the other OTG cable (usb 2.0) and it didn't work either. But I found something: USB debugging was already turned on, but for some reason I can't find it when I run adb devices.

Anyways there are some random touches so I am waiting until the screen unlocks.

I have a cheap generic Android tablet (a Groupon special) that won't boot. My theory is that the storage is full because this happened to two different tablets after installing apps. update: I learned how to use adb to remove apps and this problem persists.

It gets to a Android logo screen in the boot process and hangs there. The only hardware buttons available are the Power and Volume buttons. I have already tried holding down the Power + Vol Up + Vol Dn buttons, and that does not reset the device.

I tried adb reboot recovery, but that only reboots the device and then continues to hang at the same screen.

I tried adb shell recovery --wipe_data. This causes the screen to flicker a moment, and then I get a Segmentation fault.

I'm stuck. I'm not a big Android guy so all this is from searching online and I don't quite understand what all is happening. Any other tips are GREATLY appreciated!!


texts: How to search contacts with T9 dialer on Nexus 4

texts: I had a myTouch Slide 4g rooted and running Android 4.0. I was using the default dialer that came with CyanogenMod's Google Apps ROM. I recently picked up the Nexus 4 (not rooted and the bootloader is locked), but it doesn't search through contacts when I put in numbers. Is there a way to use the default dialer to search for contacts by name or number?


texts: My HTC EVO 3D is unresponsive after charging

texts:
For about the past month or so, whenever I pull my HTC Evo 3d off the charger (wall primarily, haven't tested against USB yet) the phone is unresponsive for anywhere between 15-60 seconds, and it's getting worse.

If I pull the phone off with the display turned on, it will stay turned on in a frozen state; it does the same if I pull it off with the display off, just frozen with the display turned off. The battery is frequently incredibly warm but not quite hot. The unit is running stock Android (after a couple of updates; 2.3.4 Gingerbread, Sense 3.0).

What could be causing this? To me it sounds like some kind of power regulation problem, perhaps from it switching from AC to battery power.
How can I diagnose what is going on that is causing the overheat (is overheating a regularly reported defect of the Evo 3D)?
I am becoming more worried about long-term damage not only from the freezing, but from just charging my phone. So, most importantly, what steps should I take to fix it?

texts: How to upgrade to Android 2.2 [Samsung GT i5800]?

texts:
I have a Samsung GT i5800 with original Android firmware and an offical Windows 7 PRO/64bit machine and a Samsung USB cable that I got with the phone.

How can I update it offically to a fresher version of Android? [I read that Android 2.2 was alread out for this phone at Jan-Apr this year..so I thought it would be a very wise thing to upgrade it! OK.] Because it looks like Kies can't upgrade the phone....this is "funny"...

Here is what I have on the phone: http://i.imgur.com/Zho9Q.jpg - Android 2.1update1

Here is the Kies version on the machine: http://i.imgur.com/I6R4q.jpg - 2.0.3.11082_152 up-to-date

Here is the message from Kies that it cannot update the phone: http://i.imgur.com/VeGUE.jpg sorry, it's in hungarian..

:(
p.s.: I tried to: reboot the win7 machine, Kies has a troubleshooting part, I tried it. What else are there?


texts: Siri-like answers in Google Voice Search on 4.2

texts:
On my Nexus 7 (4.2, all updates, German), I can start searches using speech in Google Now, but I can't get it to do anything else. In particular: It never opens cards when I ask about the weather for example, it never answers with speech, and it doesn't perform any commands (like call/text somebody). I've seen all these functions in videos promoting Jelly Bean features, and believe they should be there.

Basically, instead of working like Siri, I just have a search textbox with the voice input method.

I've searched the Play market, but didn't find anything that looked like it might help. How can I get Google Now / Voice Search to answer me?

Edit: If I switch the language to English, I get the Weather card (in a German-English mishmash), but I still don't get any spoken answers.


texts: Is it possible to preemptively block an app's permissions to certain things before installation?

texts:
I just bought an Osmo Mobile (a gimbal for smartphones). It uses an app called DJI GO to communicate with the phone via bluetooth. The problem is, the permission list the app requests before installing is extensive. In addition to the expected permissions like camera and microphone, it wants:

Device & app history

Location

Phone

Wi-Fi connection information

Device ID & call information

I'd be happy to completely avoid the DJI GO app but the gimbal won't work until it's activated by the app. So I'm wondering if there's a way to both accept to allow installation to proceed and preemptively block it's access to the above list of permissions?

texts: Milestone rooted with the Universal Androot, can I install ROMs?

texts:
I rooted my Motorola Milestone 2.1-update1 with the latest beta of Universal Androot, and it seems to have worked fine. I've installed busybox, used titanium backup, and installed a couple root-only apps.

Now I'm thinking about using ROM Manager to see what custom ROMs can be installed. However, I'm worried because I've read the milestone has some sort of lock in the bootloader, and I never actually unlocked the bootloader while rooting it. Am talking sense? Will I run into problems if I simply install ROM Manager and try to install a custom ROM?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm under the impression that rooting and unlocking are separate issues. And so I'm wondering if I don't have to unlock my phone before messing with ROM Manager.


texts:
My Android GS2 Skyrocket problems began with battery error "Charging stopped due to battery temperature" so I bought a new OEM battery which I hoped would solve but it hasn't.

Phone is not rooted and I'm not sure what processing is being used. Every time I've checked for an update...never had to since I received my phone.

The phone powers up with new battery but now I can't get past the unlock pattern. It doesn't recognize my gmail login or password. I bought an app to help with the unlock pattern but its not working as it should due to phone error somewhere. It won't even let calls ring through, goes straight to voicemail.

I noticed the when the phone restarts, the date and time are not current anymore. It resets to January 1st, 6 pm. I have notice a Google Play error now when it starts back up which may be reason why the Unlock Pattern app I just bought isn't working properly.

Not quite a brick, I don't want to do a factory reset because I will lose everything new since last backup.

Any ideas or solutions, before I send off for repair or buy a new phone..I really don't want to..

Thanks

texts: HTC ONE last update. Bootloader claims tampered

texts:
I have an HTC One bought unlocked (i.e. no simcard) with Android. I swear on my grandma's tomb that I've never tried to tamper it (I don't even know what that exactly is, I thought that made only in very closed phones such as iPhone). It was updated to the last version until a couple of days ago I got a notification to install the last update. After downloading and clicking in install it reboots the phone and I come to a bootloader which says

tampered
locked
security warning

some other data and gives me usual options for reset. I have read online that this happens when one 'tampers' the phone, which I haven't. There are solutions to 'untamper' it online, but I am afraid that attempting any of those solutions

As a side note: the phone was bought from HTC's US website less than a year ago, so it must still have the warranty running but I am not sure if I should contact them (I fear they say the warranty is invalid if the phone says tampered).

I believe all the apps were installed from the Google App Store. I installed F-Droid because a friend recommended it, but I never used it.

Any idea on how to get rid of this silly message, keep my phone under warranty and install the update?

texts: Phone borked after clearing dalvik cache

texts:
On my Huawei G300, I cleared the dalvik cache from CWM and on rebooting, Android recreated it as expected but once the OS finished loading, all the apps started throwing up "Unfortunately x has stopped" and in particular Google Keyboard is doing that every 5s or so. On the first boot, it then dropped back to the Android boot animation, so I pulled the battery, rebooted into CWM and cleared the dalvik cache again and after that, at least it hasn't done that.

From System Settings - Apps I can see that Internal Storage only has 12MB free and 744MB used (it was actually 84KB free at first!). System Settings - Storage shows the Internal Storage has 137MB Free and 2.05GB Total though, so I guess they're referring to different things by "Internal Storage".

I use Link2SD and so most of my apps are linked to the 2GB Internal storage. I also have a 32GB SD card installed.

So if anyone could advise what I can do to fix this screwup, I'd be grateful as it's unusable at the moment. I managed to get Titanium Backup to run and update my backup, so I've got a current backup of my apps and data. ES File Explorer works as well but not much else.

texts: Saving contacts to SIM / view SIM contacts

texts:
I've just bought a new Android phone (Wileyfox Swift 2X) and updated to Android 7.1.2.

Up until now I have always saved my contacts to my SIM card, which saved me a great deal of trouble with past Android phones that had broken screens, as I only had to insert my SIM card in a new device and voila, all my contacts are there.

However, on Android 7.1.2, I am unable to view SIM contacts or save new contacts to the SIM card. My only option is a Gmail account (linked to the device) - which is not what I want. I am even unable to save new contacts to the device itself.

In the 'Contacts' app, the 'Contacts to display' menu item has 3 options:

WhatsApp
Google (....@gmail.com)
Customize (no SIM options here either)

I'm pretty sure that in all my Android phones up until now I had a 'device' and 'SIM' option.

In the 'Contacts' app, I do have the option to import/export:

Import from .vcf file
Import from SIM card
Export to SIM card
Export to .vcf file
Share all contacts

So for now, I imported my SIM contacts (to the GMail account), so I can use my device for now. However, I want to only store my contacts on the SIM card.

I've checked out some apps in the Google Play Store that read the SIM contacts and they work fine (although with ads) so this is not ideal.

Did they remove the SIM contacts option? Is there a way to enable it?

Thanks in advance!

texts:
My Samsung's screen (Samsung S-III mini) seems to be dead (it suffered mechanical damage at the top, mostly the right corner).  I can't really tell if the phone boots completely normally or not, tho it does generate the usual little tune that it does at boot, so it seems like maybe it does boot more or less normally.

When I connect it to the charger, it does give me the usual "beep".

I tried to access it via adb but adb devices doesn't list anything and adb shell says error: device not found.  I did access it via adb before, and IIRC it required some interaction on the phone to enable incoming access via ADB, so maybe the problem is that I'd need to perform this interaction but without seeing anything it's rather impossible.

So I'm looking for some kind of "secret handshake" I could use to get access to the machine, so as to extract the data it has on the internal flash?

Maybe some tool that can just extract a raw image of whole flash partitions (i.e. the reverse of rom-flashing)?

texts: A swipe on status bar opens on quick setting instead of notifcation panel

texts:
In short: any idea how to set a swipe on the status bar to open the notification panel, not the quick settings one? (It was the default setting before I installed/uninstalled an app)

The whole story:
Samsung Galaxy SIII 4G GT-i9305, Android 4.4.4, rooted
Nova launcher

Xposed messed up my settings. Before I intalled this app the notification panel, was fine, it opened the notification panel by default (not the quick setting one). So I had this panel:

Now when I open the notification panel, it opens on the quick setting panel so I have to click on the lines icon (top right) to get back to the notification panel.

This is annoying. I did restart, pull the battery, restart, pull the battery, but the change made by Xposed remains: my notification panel open on the quick setting panel. See here:

I'm not looking for an app, but the right file I should edit to get back the settings I had before installing stickmount. Any idea what files could have been edited, could keep this setting modification even after uninstalling the app?

Thanks for your help!

EDIT: in Safe Mode, the problem is solved because the Xposed update is removed

texts: How can I debug degrading performance for my Shamu device?

texts:
I've had my Nexus 6 since it first came out and will be replacing it with the new Pixel anyway but I want to get to the bottom of this.

In the last 6+ months the phone got increasingly slow and unresponsive at times. Especially when using the camera but not only then. Battery life remained constant so I don't think there's something using all the CPU. Another symptom was that when having the Android 7 beta installed and being in low signal areas, it would restart randomly but that could've been just the beta part of Android 7.

I've noticed that factory resetting the phone or installing a new version of Android (such as Android 7) improve performance for a while after which it degrades again.

I've tried connecting the phone to adb but haven't noticed anything suspect in the logs. But then again I'm not an Android developer so I'm not sure what should I be looking for.

So my question was: is there any tool or procedure by which I can monitor the device and identify the cause of the issue?


texts:
I sent my broken phone to repairs, and they lost it. So I'm awaiting a replacement and in the meantime, I have a bog-standard non-smart phone. My mum very kindly said I could borrow her Samsung Galaxy Ace while I await the new phone. I don't know if the change in SIM cards has triggered boot looping issue.

So, I'm busy using the phone, deleting data from Facebook/whatsapp periodically because the storage on the Ace is low, then suddenly it starts boot looping. Not sure if I inadvertently cleared data from somewhere I shouldn't.

I have tried clearing the partition cache and factory restoring with no luck.

I followed some instructions to download Odin (not the latest version but 1.7 or something such), set it up as instructed in the particular video I was watching, but when I connected the phone to the computer it didn't connect to the program.

I tried to download a newer version of Odin, but got a virus on my computer.

I would appreciate any help to resolve this issue!

texts: Is an android 5.1 adb backup incompatible with android 6.0?

texts:
I recently loaded Cyanogenmod 13 on my nexus 4.  Prior to flashing, I did a full adb backup and an app data backup for com.king.candycrushsaga.  The only thing that seems to need restoring is the candycrush data, but adb restore doesn't seem to do the job.  It simply creates an empty folder in /sdcard/Android/data.

I used the abe.jar expander app to extract the .ab contents to a backup.tar file to see what was really in the backup, and there's an extensive set of files there, but they are all relative to apps/com.king.candycrushsaga.  I can't find any apps/com... structure on my phone now.  And since there's no 'data' component to file paths in the adb backup, it would seem that Android 6 stores app data in a different location than 5.1 did.  Is that true?  And if so, can I just use my .tar backup to restore the data to the correct location?  Or rebuild the .ab with a new top level directory?

texts: Google Play Services only recognizes deleted account; cannot update any apps

texts:
I got my Samsung Galaxy J7 in September and signed in using my primary, personal Google account ("A"). In early November, I downloaded Skype for Business for my job purposes, and created a new Google account out of habit ("B"). I DID NOT DOWNLOAD ANY OTHER APPS USING THIS ACCOUNT. A few weeks later, my boss informed me that a Google account is in violation of company policy, so I apologized and permanently deleted the account.

After the account was permanently deleted, I got an unclear-able notification saying "Account Action Required." Going to Google Play Services (which I didn't even know existed until then) led to a screen which "prompted" me to sign in with account B, but highlighting the email address does not pop the keyboard up. I have no choice but to sign in to that account, with predictable results.

Now account A is experiencing issues, which I'm positive are linked to this problem. I cannot check for updates, updates in general seem to have been disabled, and my list of installed apps appears to be blank, even though they all show up in my library. Again, all of these apps were downloaded on account A.

Does someone help me resolve this issue? Thanks in advance!

Could anyone please give me some hints about that problem?


texts: Could malware be persisting on a tablet after factory reset?

texts: Is there any other solution for my Sprint Slate besides factory reset?  When using certain aps the screen goes black even though sound can still be heard, it stutters and lags and freezes.  I used to be able to restart it and that would work but now even that doesn't seem to work.  Also when I tap icons the one that opens is often not the one I chose.  It worked for a while after the factory reset but now it is back to the way it was before.

I have a note 1 N7000, and each time the screen began flickering and after that it shut down. This got worse after flashing a cyanogenmod rom. By plugging in the charger the battery seemed empty, but wasn't. After a while the battery indicator used to show charged 70 % or more. Put the charger cable off and the situation repeated after a short time of usage.

Last night it started turning off at boot and wouldn't turn on unless on charge. I flashed a original JB rom since the problem doesn't happen when on recovery/download mode. but now it does it even when connected on charge.

How can I fix this?

Almost all the posts I saw imply that WhatsApp does not use GCM. Instead, it uses two sockets to communicate using FunXMPP.

Then how is the App active on Marshmallow even in Doze mode ?

I don't remember giving the permission REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS to the Application. And yes, the app is not whitelisted


texts: About Extracting & Replacing files in a Custom ROM

texts: Custom ROM's come in as a .zip file. Is it good to extract those and add a few apps like Settings.apk(replacing), MMS.apk (replacing) with the existing one? Doing so and after that compressing it back to a .zip file would work when i try to flash it or not?

I recently got a Vodafone Smart Prime 7 smartphone. I want to extend the internal storage of the phone to 32 gb using a MicroSD card.

When I insert the card, the phone detects it "New SD card detected". Then i try to setup the card and choose "Use as internal storage".
Then it starts "Format as internal storage". I choose "Erase and Format".

Then it starts "Formatting SD card". It takes some time but then it finishes and asks me to move data. As the same time i get a notification on top saying - "SD card unexpectedly removed"

So on the "Move data now" i choose "Move" and get a message - "Not Enough storage space". After sometime i get a notification - "Could not move data. Data is in original location". Now ig i go to Settings > Storage and USB - I see "SD Card - Checking"

When i remove the SD card from the phone and put it into the PC it gets mounted as 2 drives. One is 16 mb and the other rest of the space.

How can i fix this? Any help is deeply appreciated.

texts: I bought the LG Velvet 5G because it has a 5MP depth camera, whuch sounds good for taking 3D photos. All the guides I can find suggest that the 3D photo option should appear in the menu below. But I have looked carefully and I cannot find it.


texts: A strange circle keep appearing since Android 11 Beta update

texts:
Recently I updated my Oppo A9 to the Android 11 beta. Since then, a strange sign keeps appearing in the centre of my screen at random intervals. It appears at the centre of the screen, then it stays there for 1 or 2 seconds, and then it disappears.

What is it? How to get rid it?
