texts: SD card won't mount when Xperia Neo V is connected to Ubuntu 12.10

texts:
I upgraded my Ubuntu set up to 12.10 and realized that the SD card can't mount like it used to every time I connected my Neo V (running android 2.3.4). It can't be a hardware issue as it mounts successfully via a card reader. It also mounts successfully on Windows 7 too.

For some strange reason the phone charges normally when the USB cable is connected but Ubuntu just doesn't recognize the connected phone or its SD card. How do I rectify this problem? Thanks in advance.


texts: (Marshmallow) Microphone stops working randomly in Viber, Skype etc

texts: Every once in a while, the microphone on my S7 Edge (running Android 6.0.1) stops working, which I notice when someone calls on the phone/Viber/Skype, and the other side cannot hear me whereas I hear them. Rebooting always fixes it, but is still very annoying nonetheless. Has anyone noticed this and found a workaround? many thanks..

texts:
I have scratched my screen, however, when I look at it real close, it looks like a screen protection was pre-affixed to it... but to confuse matters, unlike other screen protections I had in the past, this one demands much force to be applied in order to slide a nail under it - so much force that I stopped trying for fear of breaking some kind of "integrated screen protection".

This feature is maybe 1/4mm thick, follows the contour of the top speaker, about 1mm under it, and follows the top edge of the plastic sides, roughly 2mm from them, and has a circular hole roughly 8/9mm around the front camera.

Can someone tell me if there is an "integrated (and not removeable) screen protection" on s10e phones, that looks like what I described, or if, for some reason, there was a screen protection affixed to my phone though I never asked for one?


texts: Can't reinstall an app uninstalled through ADB

texts:
I recently got a Huawei P30 and used adb to remove some preinstalled apps I didn't want to use. I went a bit too far and removed the system gallery app (com.android.gallery3d) which turns out to be problematic for multiple things, such as opening taken pictures directly from the camera app.

I've tried reinstalling it but I'm facing multiple issues:

When trying to install the APK that's still on the phone in /system/priv-app/Gallery2, I get a INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES error. The full error:

Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES: Failed to collect certificates from /data/app/vmdl30820468.tmp/base.apk: /data/app/vmdl30820468.tmp/base.apk: File res/drawable-xxxhdpi-v4/img_patten_7.jpg in manifest does not exist]

When trying to install a version I found online, I get a INSTALL_FAILED_VERSION_DOWNGRADE, which is odd as the app is supposed to be uninstalled. It doesn't appear in pm list packages, however running dumpsys package com.android.gallery3d does give a result, and the version is indeed more recent than the one I'm trying to install (9.1.1.309 vs 9.0.15.355). Using the -d flag when installing doesn't help as it's not a debug app. I couldn't find a more recent version online.

Is there a way to reinstall this app that doesn't involve a factory reset? Alternatively, is there a way to install a different version of it? It seems like com.android.gallery3d is a generic package name, I wouldn't be against having the "stock" Android one.


texts: How do I get my rooted Incredible to install the latest Verizon update?

texts:
Leaving aside the question of whether the update is a good idea or not -- I'm tired of seeing "update available. Install?" show up every other day. I click "Yes", and it tells me rebooting in 10..9..8...1 ..... only it never reboots.

This incredible forum post suggests that being rooted is why it won't install. But.... is there some way to force it anyway?

Or do I have to unroot, update, re-root?

the phone is under her own account we created on google.
no we had installed Whatsapp. but when we go to backup options in Whatsapp trying to backup the Whatsapp data to her google account, Whatsapp comes up with a comment that this can not be done. i suspect it is due to family link.

texts:
I noticed that a lot of descriptions of fastboot mention a command named setserial which not available in the current version that comes with Android SDK.

You can see the complete list of commands including setserial, for example here. The missing setserial command is not the only command missing in the current version.
The setserial command sounds very interesting for some tests I want to perform.

Does anybody has experience with that command and know where to get a fastboot binary that supports it?

Furthermore it would be interesting if current Android devices still allow to change the serial - may be this was only possible on the G1 and Nexus One?


texts: Working with Security Metadata in APK file

texts:
According to this Blog post, Google has added a Security Metadata on top of an APK to verify that it was originally distributed by Google Play. More specifically it adds APK Signing Block to the APK file.

I have some questions regarding this:

(1) How did Google insert this the metadata into APK signing block of the APK and how it verifies that metadata on the phone (technically)?

I guess it is possible to create custom content in this signing block? Let's say I want to distribute some APK privately in my company, when the user installs that APK then I can figure out if the APK belongs to our company or not, just like Google did with their apps in Play Store.

(2) If all developers use App Signing by Google Play, then does the mentioned security metadata above become unnecessary? Because Google can just simply verify the certificate inside each APK instead.

My apologies for the shallow understanding. Any comments are highly appreciated!

I need to replace a file in /data/data/... Is it possible with magisk? And if so, how?
I've read the developer guide multiple times, and it seems that it's possible using an overlay system - which I absolutely fail to understand.
Another way of replacing the file could theoretically be using shell during the module's installation process, but that gives me "operation not permitted" (+ it's not an "overlay" because we're directly modifying the file).

texts:
I received my invite to Google Music a couple weeks ago. I've been using it in the browser since then. My Nexus S however, refuses to sync music.

Some people on the web report the same problem but it always fixes for them after awhile or after they do one of the following steps which have not worked for me. The settings menu simply does not appear in the Music App which would allow me the option to sync music.

I have tried the following things to no avail with exception of factory reset which I do not want to do.

The Sync Music option is not available in Accounts and Sync so the problem is not that this is not turned on as the option isn't even there.
I have uninstalled updates and re-downloaded the updates and that didn't help.
I have cleared application data and that didn't help.

I've probably tried other stuff too that I can't remember, and FYI, I'm using Google Apps so I don't know if this is a piece of the problem as well.

texts: How to hide updates from market? (Given Titanium backup "detach from market" doesn't work)

texts:
I have an app that a recent update has removed functionality, so I would like to make the market think I no longer have this app so it'll stop trying to update it and I can safely use the "update all" feature again.

If this question looks like an exact duplicate of this question, it is because it is, EXCEPT the titanium backup solution which I've tried dozens of times, while android market is stopped, restarts, rom flashes, etc will not work under any circumstances.  The titanium backup "detach from market" doesn't appear to help in the slightest.  I'm not actually sure what that does.  My assumption is that recent versions of the market broke the detach functionality.

Titanium backup "Detach from market" doesn't work.

texts: How do I change the Battery Percentage that corresponds to a Voltage in Android

texts:
My original Li-ion has 3000 mAh capacity. I've modded my device to have a total of 7000 mAh capacity now.

The enhanced capacity means that my percentage is not displayed accurately anymore.

About 2000 mAh charge displays 75% charge. That means 5000 mAh are located in the top 25% of my battery indicator.

(Charging times confirm: 1 Hour @1800 mA goes from 25% to 75%, but 75 to 83 takes almost the same time and so on.)

I know a lot is possible with a rooted Android device but I'm not too much of a software person.

How can I change the percentages that display? There has to be some kind of lookup table where the Vbatt→"%" conversion is done.

Edit: If no one can help me, I am going to add a bunch of tp4056 chips to enable actually charging.

The software seems to mess around quite a bit.

Now my phone is charging the 2nd time, and (I assume because it is calculated that the battery should be “full” by now in terms of mAh) it has reached “100%” despite the Vbatt being 3.95 Volts. Actual charge is ~ 70% at max!

Here you can see it charged more than 2000 mAh after reaching “100%”. I stopped the charge at 4.2 V.

The lower portion reached 75% after 1000mAh and took 900 more for the rest. So this has lost all it's 'linearity'.

Can I (additionally to changing the display behavior) also change the charging algorithm?

Do I have to compile a kernel by myself? Is there settings for this? I want higher current first and very low current for the charging above 4.1 V.


texts: Video Player with support for audio channels?

texts:
I have recorded a TV show with dual channels (left is dubbed, right is original voice) and then converted into a mp4 file. The movie plays fine in VLC where I can choose the audio channel I want to listen too.

On my Galaxy Tab the movie plays fine too (with several apps: the built in Video app, Rockplayer, Doubletwist and Vplayer), but I haven't found a Video app that lets me choose the audio channel; it's a little difficult to watch the movie with two difficult audio tracks in your left and right ear...

Are there other apps I could try? Or is there some utility that would let me redirect only the left or right channel to both ears?

texts:
My company currently has 70 Samsung Tab E's (model # SM-T567v) that are FRP locked that we are trying to repurpose but are currently not able to. I have 1 tab e that is currently unlocked.

I have tried a couple of software solutions like imyfone lockwiper but even that comes back saying cannot find country and firmware version.

texts: How can a tabelt forget the SSID of a wifi network

texts:
We have a product that combines one Galaxy Tab 3 7"or Galaxy Tab 4 7" tablet, both wifi-only, with a Mikrotik RB951G-2hnd router. The Mikrotik has a hidden wifi network so we add it manually to the tablet. Most of the time it works great but for some reason, sometimes the tablet forgets the SSID of the hidden network.

According to our costumers, this happens when there's a power cut and the tablet looses its charge. After the power comes back, the tablet won't connect to our mikrotik device. When checking the WiFi connections on the device configuration the network won't even appear on the list.

This happens only sometimes in some tablets.

How can the device forget a manually entered SSID?


texts: Adopted Internal SD Card is mounted twice

texts:
I've adopted my external SD card as internal storage with the new feature of Android 6.0 (Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini with CyanogenMod 13). Since I've done this I've recognized that my stock image galery app and music player (stock and every other I've tried) lists every media file on the external SD card twice.

I know that these media files (pictures, music,...) aren't really duplicates because if I remove one file, the "copy" is deleted too. If I add new files it gets "duplicated" as well.

So I've tried to figure out the problem. I've noticed that the content of my external SD card is mounted under /sdcard/ with a symbolic link:

$ ls -la | grep "\->"
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root   root       21 2016-07-11 10:07 sdcard -> /storage/self/primary

And under /storage/emulated/0/ (I can't execute the ls command in /storage/emulated/) which has exactly the same files and folders.

So is there any way to remove one of these mount points safely (I don't know which App uses which of these folders...)? Or is there any other way to tell the media library to only scan one of these directories?


texts: Google Play store crashes and gapps process not working since upgrading to Jelly Bean on Samsung Galaxy S II

texts:
My phone is about 9 months old and has not given me any problems before I upgraded to the latest Android version - Jelly Bean 4.1.2. I downloaded an original version (not a cracked version) when I got an upgrade for my phone. However, since then, while I try to launch the Google Apps store, it just crashes and I'm unable to browse the store, forget downloading new apps!

It hangs often now - while typing a message or browsing on the phone, I randomly get the message - Something like, gapps.process is not responding and has stopped.

I reckon, I shall have to format and re-install the Jelly Bean again on my phone. I'm open to suggestions though :D

I do not have Kies pre-installed on my laptop yet. Will it cause an issue? If needed, where do I download it from?
My phone is not rooted - I would not like to root my phone as yet.
Would appreciate only legal methods, as I'm worried about my warranty on my phone.
My phone memory - contacts (extremely important) and apps(if possible) need to be safe.
I would like to keep the data on my data card ( music, videos ) safe.

I do a bit on my S II (I9100G), but I'm no real expert with the phone. Appreciate a tested way..!


texts: Why wont my device run Twrp img for rooting

texts:
Okay, happy post Vday.
So, Im trying to root an unlocked Blu J1, running Marsh. 6.0. I recently reset it, due to perf. issues & now trying to root.

My setup is Win7, w/ the latest Usb drivers through Sdk & UniversalAdb. I have Usb debugging active on the phone & the device shows at command level with Adb devices & in Fastboot mode. **Ive unlocked the bootloader on the phone itself, & then xferred the Twrp.img files different times.
The twrp files were the latest 2 off the site Twrp.me as of 02/15. Its a successful transfer on fastboot, which is good. but when I go to restart, it shows as stock recovery studio_j1_6.0/user/release-keys but not the touch responsive Twrp. ..

I eventually want to use Su or Magisk zip to gain root. The phone remains bootloader unlocked which is good. I've tried the Adb command, adb root, and then went through these steps, -still nothing. Im on the hunt for recent clockwork mod, to try tht way, only ones are like '11 or'12.

So, is the stock recovery hard coded. -it doesnt have 2 separate partit-I ran a partit check just in case.
I also went to grab the omnirom androidrecovery 6.0 off Github at github.com/omnirom/android_bootable_recovery/tree/android-6.0, but its .zip. And when I apply updates through Sd card update in stock recovery, I get install aborted across the board on any .zips..
Im on the waiting list for Kingroot to add my device. so thats good.

Either way Android SU shows as not rooted once fully on.
Any feedback greatly appreciated.

When I used Symbian, after clicking on the star to add the place as favorite, I could put name and description in the place, and in my Google Maps account, the places get the name and description I put.

In Android I can't find this feature, I can't write notes in a favorite place. Is this feature deprecated? How can I do this?


texts: how to fix resource error in android while installing a game

texts:
Android: 4.3 Jellybean

Whenever I install a game with an obb file in memory card, it says download failed because the resources could not be found, but that doesn't happen when I copy the obb file to internal memory.

When i first installed the games, everything was fine. But one day, I accidentally formatted my SD card and some files in internal memory. Then, the problem started. I can't install in my SD card.

Also, it doesn't matter if I'm online or offline. It still shows resource error.

texts: Skype integration with the native contacts?

texts:
I tried adding Skype information to my contacts and there's a gray circle showing up beside the Skype username. I can then deduce that it is indicating my contact as offline. However, there seems to be some inconsistencies. On some contacts, I can see three options below them namely:

IM with Skype
Call with Skype
Video call with Skype

However, on other contacts, there aren't any options below their Skype usernames. And also, another inconsistency is the status. My contacts would show up as online on the Skype app but will still show the gray circle on the Contacts app. This happens fairly most of the time which defeats the purpose of it having an indicator there in the first place. At times though, it would correctly and show a yellow circle on online contacts.

I want to know why it's behaving like this and if there's any way to make it less buggy than how it is right now.

Also, can't I just click on the Skype username on the Contacts app and have the Skype app open up their profile? It seems easier that way instead of adding the three Skype actions I stated earlier.


texts: CM 10.1.3 randomly freezes, and stock ROM phone does the same

texts:
Using a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (P3110) on CM 10.1.3 RC3, and a Sony Xperia E (C1505). My tablet randomly freezes with no reason. Sometimes it's 9 or 10 hours after it's last turned-on, sometimes it's 10 minutes. I would just put it as "normal side effects" if it weren't for that fact that my phone freezes at the same time.

They freeze within 3 seconds of each other, until reboot (remove and reinsert battery on phone, hold power for 10 seconds on tablet) and this seems to always happen on the same WiFi. However, this sometimes happens when "separated" (not linked via WiFi or Bluetooth), though a lot rarer.

Please help, I don't understand what is going on, or why.

I use Dvorak as my main typing layout. I own a Motorola Xoom tablet, for which I bought an external bluetooth keyboard.

It is clear to me that with a subscription to Google Play Music you can only play "your" music (either online or offline) with Google Play Music player (see Google music: offline listening after subscription expires?). De facto, music is not actually yours: you just own the right to listen to it.

What is not clear to me, and I have not been able to find an answer for, is: what if I actually buy a track on Google Play Store? Can I move the MP3 to any "dumb" MP3 player and listen at it there? In other words: is it DRM-free?


texts: Is there a an app for recording voice notes that syncs to cloud storage?

texts:
I have been using Note Everything for making text and voice notes.

However, the problem with it is that it stores everything locally, and if the phone dies, like mine recently did, I lose all the notes. It does have a backup function, but I have to take steps to save the backup files which I often forget to do.

What I really want is an application that will always sync every voice and text note with a server somewhere, so that it doesn't matter if the phone is destroyed.

I do not need to share these notes with anyone else, and I would rather that whatever service I used the default was that all my notes were private. However, if I could also access my notes via the web, that would be ideal. Critically, though, it needs to have both voice and text.

Are there any applications like that?

Many women I know carry the phone in their purse or other bag, and they often miss calls, not noticing the phone is ringing. At the same time, they don't want to have the ringer volume set very high, so that it's a nuisance to others.

texts: Phone won't connect to internet in the background! Why?

texts:
My phone (Galaxy Note 4) running Android 6.0.1 can't do anything internet related unless the process is running in the foreground. I've been dealing with it for so long, but now I'm stuck in the hospital after serious surgery for the second time and I really would like it to work this time... :(

This is the error script, from leaving Facebook in the background to post a video. My phone isn't rooted or anything so it's the best I know how to offer:

  9zf caught Execution Exception, com.facebook.tigon.tigon utils.TigonErrorException: TigonError(2): TigonLigerErrorDomain(2) AsyncSocketException: con-nect failed, type = Socket not open, errno = 111 (Connection refused) java.lang.RuntimeException: 9zF caught Execution Exception, com.facebook.tigon.tigon utils.TigonErrorException: TigonError(2): TigonLigerErrorDomain(2) AsyncSocketException: con-nect failed, type = Socket not open, errno = 111 (Connection refused) at X.9zF.D(1746707) at X.9zF.iyA(1746720) at X.24s.run(:497658) at java.util.concurrent.Executors $RunnableAdaptercall(Executo
  rs java: 423 *

{facebook cut the rest off, but the next line, I think, is this}

I'm tech savvy but not this tech savy. My phone will do nothing internet related in the background, nothing. Whatever it is, as soon as it's not running in the foreground, it zonks out. Screen turning off drops my calls (I use an internet number), messages aren't delivered unless I open the app, etc etc Messenger (for Facebook) in particular acts really funny about connecting; after it zonks out and I reopen it, I have to disconnect and reconnect to the WiFi or it'll just sit there telling me I have no Internet. Other apps basically do that too, though. Everything was the same even when I used to have phone service and mobile data, switching between them, I believe, would fix it too.

Not sure how relevant this is, but my phone totally rejected being rejected to "sign in" (I quote because it claimed I needed to sign in in my settings, but just wanted to redirect me to the hospital page before it would work) to the public WiFi network here, and it always has silly little troubles like that. It kept saying Google refused the connection or giving me the generic dinosaur error. Everyone else seemed to do fine with it, finally after a million times of trying things, going to Google.com manually did work.

I disabled a lot of system components once upon a time because there are a lot that i just do not need ever running on my phone and wasting my battery. My best theory is I selected one (maybe even more) accidentally and caused this but I have no idea which one. My fear is some kind of virus/hacker/personal data stealing something or other hiding in my phone. I used to install modded versions of applications from the internet because I'm a fool. This is a pretty old phone, my non-stone-age one is broken.

I also bought it used and clearly very refurbished (not even well) from a sketchy auction on eBay, so that's another reason I'm concerned. It's probably nothing, haha. My device status claims to be official, I couldn't find anything particularly sketchy in my phone's information.

I don't remember when this started happening but I feel like it wasn't after disabling anything or I would have noticed? I'm probably wrong, though lol

Thanks in advance! ♡Quinn


texts: Haptic feedback on samsung galaxy s3 mini

texts: I have recently bought a Samsung galaxy s3 mini and there is no haptic feedback on my soft buttons or typing a message, there is only a vibration key press on my lock screen. I have tryed going into settings, language and input, keyboard setting but there is no vibration on key press option in any of the settings I have looked through. Can someone help me please?


texts:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 Plus and I have one application listed in my Settings - Manage Apps list that I want hidden from the user.  This is not an icon - it is the application name in the list of apps on the phone under the setting section.  Is there a way to either 1. hide the app (make it not visible on the app list) or 2. lock the app list so the user cannot open it to see what apps are listed there.  I do not want to password protect the whole phone or individual icons, just the Manage Applications section under Settings.

Best solution is to figure out how to make that app name hidden from the Manage Applications list, but I am not sure that is possible without either deactivating or removing it.  Any help is appreciated.


texts:
In attempt to install 2.2  I've deleted all my contacts(contacts were saved on phone, not as google contacts)
I've done full nandroid backup while phone still had those contacts; however when I try restoring image; I get bootloop.
Nandroid backup contains system.img, data.img, cache.img and boot.img;

I'm wondering if I can restore only data.img to get contacts back.

I have thought of 2 other solutions:

a) make a new nandroid image of current status; verify that it's ok by doing restart; then open copy database with contacts from one backup to another.

b) open database with contacts from data.img; and manually retype 200 phone records.

Is there any smarter (quicker, easier) way??

P.S. The vibration intensity config is only applied for the vibration when hitting a button, not for receiving SMS.

P.S. 2: And the camera is extremly slow when taking picture..it is focusing everytime, and it takes 2-3 seconds to take a photo. Before the upgrade it took like millisecond:/

So, what key should I assign to the sensor?
I've tried avr, dvr, virtual, forward, media_close, meta_left, shift_left, escape, insert, button_l and a lot of other things. All of them wake the device, unfortunately.

P. S. Commenting or removing the line doesn't work either

texts: Is it possible to remove the battery percentage on my Samsung S5?

texts:
I have a Galaxy S5 running 4.4.2, unrooted.

In the top indicator bar, there is an icon of a battery, and a percentage of remaining battery life beside it (not inside of it, as I've seen other people mention).

I find the percentage being there kind of stresses me out. I look at it and wonder if the drop from 90% to 80% over the last little while is indicative of lots of battery use, and whether or not my phone will last the day.

Can I get rid of it? I'm okay with just a battery icon.

Ideally, a percentage would only show once I'm under a critical point, like 20% or so.

Here is what my battery settings look like:

texts: Will the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 Nook receive updates past 4.4.2?

texts: I can't find official information from either Barnes and Noble or Samsung one way or the other. It doesn't look like it uses TouchWiz like other Samsung devices, so it would likely be more effort to develop and test for future Android versions. I think that if it is going to receive updates, it's at a really good price point for a tablet, with the Barnes and Noble sales and promotions happening now. If not, I'm not sure if it's worth the cheaper price to be stuck on 4.4.2 forever - it seems like that will be behind the times rather quickly. Are my fears of that well-founded?

I see no new menu options either.  In the add-ons menu I see Firebug, but it only offers the choice to disable or uninstall, so I know it's there and installed.


texts: Routing uPnP over USB to ethernet on Ubuntu

texts:
My phone has a uPnP server app (MirrorLink) that should connect to an in-car dash via USB. However, for testing out I have downloaded the Nokia Qt Client, but as far as I can tell from the source code it only tries to find the client over Wi-Fi. How would I go about re-routing the USB to Ethernet so that the client can find the USB cable?

I've seen various solutions for tethering, but they involve using a proxy on the mobile device to re-route on the mobile Wi-Fi to USB, but the mobile app directly talks to USB.

(I'd like to create uPnP and MirrorLink tags, but I don't have the rep yet...)

I don't really trust the mobile manufacturers in my place. The first thing I bought a new phone is installing a trusted input method app (keyboard app) and switch to that keyboard app.
But I am wondering if this is safe to say no other apps (including system apps) can get my keystrokes?
I knew there were other forms of security issues I need to take care, for example, screen recording etc.. But that is not my concern in this question.
I only care if the system or other installed apps can get my keystrokes (key taps) or not.
Thank you very much.


texts: Android phoneGoogle contacts - usage model and best practices?

texts:
I am finally forced to admit that I'm completely flummoxed by the communication between my android phone and my google account's contact list.  I have tried various usage models and experienced lost/deleted contacts, edits made on my phone overwritten with unedited version from google account, random entries appearing on my phone(i now have 5 different entries for MYSELF)....everything BUT what I'm trying to do.

What I'd like for it to do is for my google account to be the system of record for my contacts, and sync with my phone...simple as that.  If I edit/add on my phone, I'd like for that change to be sync'd to my google account automatically.  If edit/add using my google account via the web interface, I'd like that for that change to be sync'd to my phone.  Obviously this is NOT the way that it works, and it is obvious that, after weeks of trial, error, and fruitless searching,  I do not understand how it SHOULD be used.

Does anyone know how Google wants us to use this?  How is it SUPPOSED to work?  Has Google published a guide for this?  FWIW, I have no problem going back and reorganizing everything  and adapting to a different usage model as long as I understand how it is supposed to behave and as long as it behaves as published.

My disabled child likes this game very much. But he can't handle the advertisement. It is just too much for him. I would like to get Angry Birds ad-free. I would pay for it, but there's no ad-free version on the Play Store.

The device is not rooted, and I'm not going to root it. So if possible, is there any solution for non-rooted device?

It seems impossible to disable ads on android games. Most of them are completely useless and some are glorifying war.

This is no problem for normal people.

For my disabled child this is information overload.

We bought an old standalone device. This kind of device where you need to buy games on cartridges. This solves my use case. AFAIK angry bird is not available for nintendo DSi, but other nice games.

texts:
I have an app that connects to an external piece of hardware via USB and communicates using ptp.  In Android 6 this app would automatically start when connected to the hardware.  The very first time you opened the app a window pops up that asks "Choose an app for the USB Device."  I would select the right app and click "Always".  From then on the app would start automatically when connected to the hardware.

This behavior changed in Android 7.0.  Now the app no longer starts automatically.  Instead when I plug in the hardware a small USB icon appears in the top left of the screen.  After opening the notification drawer there is a notification that reads:

"Android System
Connected to USB Function Filesystem
Tap to view files"

Only after tapping this notification will my app open.  This happens every time I connect my hardware.  I want to disable this notification so my app continues to open automatically.  How can I disable this notification?

texts: Android phone fails to communicate using IPv6

texts:
I observe the following problem with my Android phone (Sony Xperia XZ, Andoid Oreo 8.0.0)

Though the phone seems to have a correct set of IPV6 addresses it fails to communicate when I use IPV6. the phone works OK using IPV4.

Details

I have about 5 Personal Computers in a LAN which can PING each other via their IPV6 adresses, and communicate via IPV4 and IPV6. I added my Android phone to the same LAN via WIFI/WLAN, at it can communicate via IPV4, but not IPV6.

I have checked the IP setings of the phone, it gets a complete and correct set of IPV4 and IPV6 adresses from the local DHCP server.

To start troubleshooting somewhere, I installed a PING tool on the phone, and found that it can PING any other computer via IPV4, but not via IPV6.

On one of my PCs, I installed Wireshark to see what is happening, and this is what I found, if I PING the IPV6 address of the phone from the PC:

On the pc, I initiate a PING test:

ping [ipv6 address of phone] -6 -n 1

and this is what Wireshark revealed on ethernet level (with my comments):

  mobile mac address discovery via multicast

[pc mac] to [33:33:ff:4d:50]: Neighbor Solicitation for [mobiile IPV6] from [pc mac]
[mobile mac] to [pc mac]: Neighbor Advertisement [mobile ipv6]: [mobile mac]

  mobile phone mac address resolution success - try to ping

[pc mac] to [mobile mac]: Echo (ping) request

  response from phone: try to get PC mac address!" Has heard the PING request!

[mobile mac] to [33:33:ff:f4:fd:12]: Neighbor Solicitation for [pc IPV6] from [mobile mac]

  pc responds correctly

[pc mac] to [mobile mac]: Neighbor Advertisement [pc ipv6]: [pc mac]

  phone tries same again - has not "heard" the response !?

[mobile mac] to [33:33:ff:f4:fd:12]: Neighbor Solicitation for [pc IPV6] from [mobile mac]

  pc again responds correctly

[pc mac] to [mobile mac]: Neighbor Advertisement [pc ipv6]: [pc mac]

  3rd retry!

[mobile mac] to [33:33:ff:f4:fd:12]: Neighbor Solicitation for [pc IPV6] from [mobile mac]

  pc patiently responds correctly once more

[pc mac] to [mobile mac]: Neighbor Advertisement [pc ipv6]: [pc mac]

This is where the PC gives up and shows a failed PIING error message.

From what I see on the Wireshark trace, the phone fails to pick up the mac address resolution responses, and thus never knows about the Ethernet address of the PC, cannot send a response and and this is why the PING request fails.

Trying the other direction, when I PING from the phone to the PC running Wireshark, not a single packet is captured, seems like the phone doesn't even try.

To me ist seems like the IPV6 stack on the phone is dead, despite that DHCP has worked.

Anyone who has deeper insight into the implementation details of IPv6 on Android who can give me any info how to resolve this?

Thnx, Armin


texts: Is "Preferred Activity Setter" a malware?

texts:
I have noticed I have Preferred Activity Setter after the most recent update of Google Play Services, and it has been wreaking havoc on my Samsung Galaxy prevail LTE on my stock browser called "Internet" or "Browser" on older phones where it takes me to a site where there was moleculas content and Chrome loads the page then when finished it loaded page disappears except for the URL bar.

I have AVG Antivirus and it also says Preferred Activity Setter is considered a potentially unwanted program (PUP is now invalid, now considered malware). I have tried to force stop it, and it is still active while the "force stop" is greyed out.

Anyway to remove this without rooting it and doing it that way?


texts: Google Photos backs up only cover photo from burst mode photos

texts:
When I take picture on my Moto G5 Plus, I long press in my Camera app to get multiple photos. From what I have read, it is called burst mode. The photos are stored in the /storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera folder. The naming convention of the image files goes something like this.

Cover photo - IMG_YYYYMMDD_<SOME NUMBER>_BURST000_COVER.jpg

Other photos - IMG_YYYYMMDD_<SOME NUMBER>_BURST011.jpg

But when the photos are backed up by Google Photos, only the cover photo gets backed up. I lost quite a few photos this way because I thought the auto backup will backup everything.

I cannot find any setting that can backup all the photos along with cover photo also. Is there any setting for this?

Update 1:

I have auto backup enabled.

Update 2:

Added details for image file naming convention and folder details.

texts: Phone reports insufficient storage despite having a lot of free space

texts:
The problem I'm having regards a cheap Chinese phone which is rebranded and sold in my country as Manta MSP94501 Easy Selfie. It runs Android 5.1 (with a KingRoot which I installed) and lately, it started very aggressively reporting lack of free storage - the widgets don't want to start, I get constant alerts that this or that couldn't be updated because of insufficient storage, that Google Play Services won't work until they're updated (and yet they don't want to be updated cause - again - insufficient storage), I can't install any new app either and the phone started getting a bit sluggish on top of all that.

The problem is, this phone has 8GB internal storage (half of which is allegedly the one for the phone and not the system) and is virtually empty (a few photos and videos, literally not more than a few apps). When you go into Settings->Storage, it reports that there's 4.51GB total for the phone storage, with 252MB free and yet the specific list below doesn't reflect that at all, as it reads: 3MB for Apps, 601MB for Photos and Videos, 40KB for Sounds, 348KB for Downloads, 24MB for Cache and 8.3MB for Other. As you can see, this does not sum up to 4.3GB at all - and the coloured bar above the list shows the storage correctly (that is, 3/4ths of it is marked grey as empty space - which is the truth!) but still, all the readings show otherwise, alerting about the 252 free megabytes.

texts: Force Uber app to launch when requesting Uber ride within Google maps?

texts:
I am a fan of integrating ridesharing (Uber and Lyft) fare results into the travel directions interface of Google Maps, so that I may quickly compare the two companies to each other and to other forms of transportation.  However, I do not like having the entire Uber ride take place within Google maps.  I find the interface inferior to Uber's app (lots of info/options are missing), and I would prefer that the Maps app is available for other searches while riding in the Uber (e.g., looking up the exact location of a restaurant).

Is there any way to force Maps to launch the Uber app from within these search results?

The alternative is to

highlight the address
select "copy",
return to the desktop,
launch the Uber app,
clear out any Uber messages (e.g., rate your last driver),
paste the address into the Uber search (which doesn't work if you used something like "home" in Maps),
confirm that it's the same location on the maps you already found in Google (which might not be the case for overloaded place names),
confirm your current location,
and hit the "book"/"request" button.

Do-able, but inefficient.

texts: Remove TeleNav GPS app from myTouch 4G Slide

texts:
After accepting a system update, I found that T-Mobile installed TeleNav GPS on my phone. Tech tier support tells me there is no way to remove it since it is installed as a "system level" app or something.

I'd really like to remove it, because it interferes with the default Google Navigation app, coming up no matter how many times I set the defaults.

I planned to root the phone, following the instructions on rootzwiki, but after running Revolutionary I got this message:

  Your device: doubleshot, with HBOOT 1.45.0013 is not supported at this time

I've read elsewhere I can unlock my bootloader with software from HTC, but that this will completely format the phone, erasing all personal data, installed apps, and messages.

Do I have any other options to remove this hostile GPS application?

texts: Android box - soft bricked, but can boot Linux

texts:
Introduction

First of all I have quite old android box - Ferguson 3 TV. It's hardware based on platform very similar to MXQ/HD18Q with s805 processor. Stock rom based on Android 4.4 (not Android-TV). I was able to run LibreELEC Linux for this box in dual bot, or even from internal, so it is somehow compatible.

Now what happend...

I soft bricked it when trying to flash android custom rom from MXQ. The TWRP flashed just fine, and I flashed rom zip from this. After this procedure, neither system, not TWRP is not booting. After few tries I was able to flash LibrELEC to internal storage. I also booted Armbian (linux) from SD card. But recovery is still not bootable.

What I want to do

Is there any way to flash stock firmware from linux to unbrick the device? Or any other way? When I connect box to Windows PC, nothing happens, like Windows doesn't see it. So I think this booted linux is the only way I can modify the internal memory. I have stock firmware zip, from the Ferguson page. It is recovery zip, but contain inside boot.img and bootloader.img. The/system is just a folder. There are also /recovery folder which only contains some scripts to extract recovery from boot.

Any ideas how to save this box?

texts: dmesg unable to enumerate usb device on google nexus 7 2013 wifi version

texts:
I installed android file transfer and flashed the ROM of Google Nexus 2013 WIFI tablet by executing the flash-all script command on my macbook pro macOS Mojave. This tablet has issue with usb connection before and it will drop the USB connection after few minutes. I believe the usb connection disconnected while trying to write the firmware to the tablet. The dmesg shows the following now after the ROM flash failure

Hard reset and factory reset the tablet

Took out cover and then disconnect the battery connection and then reconnect

I have done all the above using raspberry pi with raspbian OS. However, the raspberry pi is still not able to recognize my tablet.

I did the following on the Windows computer as well. I plugged in the device and checked the device manager application. It says that the device is unknown. I downloaded the driver from the internet and then try to update it through the device manager. Computer tells me that there is no driver installed while simultaneously saying that the driver is up to date. I believe I have enabled the USB debugging method before the ROM flash but the tablet seems to be completely out of OS now. I am just wondering whether anyone has solution to this?I have tried a lot of method with no avail

texts:
I have an Android tablet and my PC running Windows 7 Pro. I am using ES File Explorer on Android to see shared folders.

I added some folders to the Music/Picture/Video libraries and shared them in a homegroup. I tried to make the homegroup not need a password and it'll let me access my PC from my tablet and view the root folders but as soon as I tried to access a folder (Music) it'll say permissions aren't available. It will work if I set a password and login with my account.

The second issue is that I'm seeing folders that I don't want to see. I can see a ADMIN$ folder (which is C:\WINDOWS), C$, D$, E$ (the HDDs), IPC$, print$, User. As well as Music, Pictures, Videos from the library. The folders in bold aren't shared so I don't know why I'm seeing them.

The last issue is that a folder (a whole drive actually) isn't being shared. I included the whole E: Drive in the Videos folder but it won't show up in the Video folder from the tablet. However if I include a folder from within the E: Drive then it will show up. Can I not include the root of a drive in a library? I mean it works on the PC.


texts: tasker to turn on do not disturb when plugged into charger

Possible Duplicate:
  Is a Class 10 MicroSD overkill or is a Class 6 adequate?

first of all I am aware that there are similar questions, I've read them but they don't totally apply here.
I own a powerful Samsung Galaxy S 2 and I am getting a 32gb MicroSDHC card, however, I'd like to know if class 10 cars are totally useless compared to class 6, or do they ever get useful?

My phone is able to take 8megapixel photos and 1080p videos, is a class 6 way enough or a class 10 would be more appropriate?

I am asking this because that market evolves constantly and the other questions I saw were asking about class 2, 4, etc. As of now, Class 10 cars aren't really expensive so I wouldn't mind paying for it, however if I can't profit from its enhanced performance at all (compared to a sufficient ? Class 6), I will save these extra bucks.

My Galaxy Note 2 N7100 has “Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue.

(2) The other questions don't ask about /cache and other partitions.

texts: Entering recovery mode when plugging powered off tablet to charger

The modification of the lpm file works great when I don't have Philz Touch 6.59.0 installed on the device. Every time the device is off and I plugged it to the charger, it starts Android just fine.

The problem comes when I install Philz Touch 6.59.0 which works great by it self but when I modify the lpm file, every time I power off the device and then plug it to the charger, it start in recovery mode which is incredibly anoying.

Next is my lpm file:

#!/system/bin/sh
/system/bin/reboot

Does anyone knows what can I do to solve this issue or change this behaviour?

EDIT

I also tried the TWRP and the same thing happens. When powered off and plugged in, the device starts in recovery mode.

texts: Replacing Malware System Apps with Clean Versions of Apps

texts:
I have many times found devices or ROMs that have malware installed as system apps.  This thread is intended to define a recurring problem and discuss and determine solutions.

Background:
In many cases malware apps can simply and directly be removed with root privileges.  A complication, however, arises when the app to be removed is: a rather important app, necessary to run or boot the operating system, or an app of its kind is necessary to run or boot the operating system.  Only removing such apps may resolve the malware problem, but creates other major problems such as an inability to meaningfully operate the Android environment or an inability to boot the Android operating system.  A few typical examples of such apps are the Settings app and the Package Installer app.

Wherefore, to perform a proper repair, a malware app must instead be patched to remove the malware or replaced with another clean and compatible app.

For basic Android apps, such as the Settings app and Package Installer app, that are malware infected, I would think that the best course of action would be to replace the infected app with a clean AOSP version or clean OEM version.  Using the OEM version of the app would only be acceptable if the app were available and the OEM is believed to not have or be the source of the malware.

The Problem Being Considered:
For a malware infected system app to be replaced with a clean AOSP version, my impression of the most obvious option that would be most likely to work would be to build Android from source against the target device and for the same architecture and Android version as the malware-infected system, and then donate its apps as replacements for the malware-infected apps and replace the malware-infected apps.  Unfortunately, while the method should be effective, it comes with considerable costs.  The sizes of the various Android source codes are quite large and it can take a rather long time to acquire and process it.  It is worth considering other options.

Questions to Resolve or Related to Problem:
Instead of building Android from source against the target device and for the same architecture and Android version as the malware-infected, AOSP-based system to use as a source for donating replacement apps:

Should it be sufficient to use apps from an AOSP or AOSP-based build of Android, such as LineageOS, with the same Android version and architecture as the build of Android of the infected device?

Should it be sufficient to use apps from an AOSP or AOSP-based build of Android for a different device, but with the same Android version and architecture as the infected device?  Is the matching of the SoC or processors of the donating Android build and the target Android build important for donation app compatibility purposes?

Is it acceptable to use a build of Android of a different minor version to acquire an app for donation to the malware-infected app build?  (For example, malware-infected build may be of Android version 7.0, but other, clean Android build may be of Android 7.1.2)

Can just single Android system app be compiled?  If so, would it still require acquiring the source code for the entire Android version?

Are there any generic, pre-built offerings of Android that may be used to donate replacement apps?  If so, where?

Any other recommendations or things I may not have thought of?

texts: How do I make Whatsapp read multiple similar databases?

texts:
Recently I got a new phone,and finally discovered that the Whatsapp FAQ teaches how to transfer messages from one phone to another,assuming both is android.

So, I managed to transfer from my old phone-1 (Samsung Galaxy Ace 2) to my new phone and the Whatsapp manage to read it(with 9 Databases).

Then I use my old phone-2 (A type of PHICOMM phone made in China but it is an Android phone) to transfer the messages to my new phone.The problem is,when I try to transfer the old phone-2 database,the database have the same name as the old phone-1 data base,so the file manager says to overwrite or replace but I didn't do both of them because if I overwrite, I doubt the Whatsapp being able to read it. Instead, I renamed the file to msgstore.db2.crypt8.

The Whatsapp read the msgstore.db2.crypt8 instead and cannot read all at once.

Here is the 10 database names:

msgstore.db2.crypt8 (The Old Phone 2)(3.44mb) msgstore.db.crypt8 (The
Old Phone 1)(And all below this onwards is also Old Phone 1,but
during the time I use Old Phone 1,I already tranfer them to the SD
card to release space.)(10.48mb)
msgstore-2015-06-16.1.db.crypt8(10.48mb)
msgstore-2015-06-16.1.db.crypt (Hm...no "8" at the back?)(9.22mb)
msgstore-2015-06-11.1.db.crypt8(12.70mb)
msgstore2015-06-13.1.db.crypt8(12.73mb)
msgstore2015-06-14.1.db.crypt8(12.75mb)
msgstore2015-06-09.1.db.crypt8(12.66mb)
msgstore2015-06-12.1.db.crypt8(12.73mb)
msgstore2015-06-15.1.db.crypt8(12.76mb)

  Question is, What name should I keep to the file msgstore.db2.crypt8 in order for the Whatsapp to read all these 10 databases?

FYI: I transferred all of the database files to my new phone's internal storage.

Update 1:Done an extra research only to find out that the file named "msgstore.db.crypt8" can only be read and those with format "msgstore-YYYY-MM-DD" are the backup messaged done on 4am and will show up for 7 days.So,how do I rename such that Whatsapp read both "msgstore.db2.crypt8" and "msgstore.db.cyrpt8"?(FAQ Link: https://www.whatsapp.com/faq/?forum=android&entry=20887921&l=fi)

Update 2:I used Old Phone 1 first,then Old phone 2 then the Old Phone 1 back then the New Phone.

The Old Phone 1 databases is from 2011 to 2014 December then Jump to 2015 May-June.

The Old Phone 2 databases is 2014 December-2015 May.

As shown on pic called "2016-02-02_14-06-42.png",everything works fine. I'm not sure that everything works fine,because the pic called "2016-02-02_14-04-41.png" shows the reason because the backup process can't continue. I suspect that "Windows 10" is responsable for this behaviour. Infact,as shown on the pic called "2016-02-02_14-08-20.png",everytime that I attach and detach the cable that connects the usb port of the tablet to the usb port of my PC,two windows appears and I think that they could interfere with the communication between the tablet and the PC,but I'm not sure. I have also tried to install the "CWM recovery" instead of the "TWRP recovery",but the first has been removed and the second one has been reinstalled and the problem is not fixed. Can you help me ? Thanks.

texts: How can I access the contents of the main disk on my Android device, for data recovery purposes?

texts:
I'm trying my best to determine a method of recovering some deleted data on my Samsung S5.

I've used tools such as Recuva in the past to recover files on flash drives and devices of that nature. However, when plugging my Android device into the computer, it seems I can only select options such as Charging, MTP, etc - none of which actually assign a drive letter to the device and therefore make it impossible to run these recovery tools. I see USB Mass Storage used to be an option, but appears to have been removed from the Android OS at some point.

The device was accidentally wiped and reset. It is rooted with SuperSU installed, and I've been taking special care to not use the device so I can avoid overwriting data. I've tried multiple Android-specific recovery tools, though they either don't recognize that the device is rooted or never prompt for root permissions, and therefore haven't been of any use.

My question is this:

Is it somehow possible to mount the device as a drive so that I can run recovery tools against it as I would a flash drive.
Otherwise, is there some way to mirror the entire disk so I can run recovery tools against it separate from the physical device?

Thank you!

Update

I've figured out how to make an image of the disk, I believe (it's a 14.7 GB image, and the internal disk is only 16GB, so I'm thinking I imaged the right partition), and that seems to be some progress. I did the following:

adb pull /dev/block/mmcblk0 mmcblo0.img

Now that I have this image, I've tried scanning it with a tool called Autopsy, but I don't see many deleted files listed. How should I proceed given an image of the disk?


texts: ADB version of these terminal emulator instructions?

texts:
I have the "Insufficient storage" bug on my Moto G X1032. This answer fixes it with the terminal emulator app, which i can't install.  They recommend performing the following commands in adb if that's the case. These commands aren't working, so i assume ADB uses different equivalents. Hopefully you can translate:

"After browsing around, I found out that the cache folder (that I assume used by the market) is using small partition (around 20mb in my case). So to solve this we need to change it to bigger partition.

You gonna need Android Terminal Simulator or equivalent terminal app. This will also require your Android rooted."

su                                    // Root permission request will be shown: you need to approve it.
cd /
umount /cache
mount -o rw,remount -t rootfs rootfs  // To set the folder access to rw – read and write
rmdir /cache                          // Delete cache folder. I'm personally using root explorer to do point 5-6.
mkdir /sdcard/cache
ln -s /sdcard/cache /cache            // To link cache folder to /sdcard/cache – which should have bigger partition size

(Text next to // indicates a comment above. Text before // is the command to be used.)

texts: Acer liquid e600 won't start after rooting

texts:
I have a problem with my smart phone Acer Liquid e600.

I followed a procedure to gain root access in my phone, during the procedure, the phone was restarting twice, then it shut down and couldn't start, and my PC doesn't recognize my phone anymore.

I tried to press both volume and the on/off button simultaneously for 10 seconds to start the safe mode but I failed to do that as well.

Can you show me how to do a flash or a recovery to restore my phone?


texts: Blu Dash JR K locked-out; "Yes" confirmation option to reset is not present in recovery mode

texts:
I have my sister's Blu Dash JR K at the moment. She forgot her lock screen pattern, and there is not an option to recover via Gmail.

Phone comes with stock recovery. when I go there and try to apply factory wipe/data, all I get are a bunch of:

   -- no --
   -- no --
   -- no --
   -- no --

There is no yes option.

Second attempt, I tried to reset the phone using ADB, as I don't have the phone with debugging mode active. when I type adb devices, no device is detected.

Phone is not rooted so I'm not sure if I can install any custom recovery. What should I do now?

EDIT

I'm not able to use "official" recovery modes (Gmail Based) since she never synced with a Google account.


texts: How to find exact HTC One S version (S3/S4)

texts:
I have begun doing research about rooting my HTC One S phone (HTC Sense looks so nice but unfortunately is so unstable) and one of the first things I've noticed is that there are two versions of HTC One S. One has a 1.5gHz dual core CPU, the other has a 1.7gHz dual core CPU.

I went through all the information I could find in my phone's "about" menu, but the CPU section only specifies "dual core". The packaging also has no further details than this.

The only reference I have is that the (online) shop I bought it at, has 1.5gHz in the spec. That would mean I have the S4 which is the most common version. But the vendor may as well get that information from somewhere else rather than the actual product, so I want to be sure before doing anything.

I've already searched google and can't find anything, but I hardly know what to look for either. Seems like no other website knows of this distinction.

On a side note, if anyone knows (has experience with) any good and reliable guides about rooting the HTC One S, feel free to post them as well.

texts:
Occasionally I wake up and find out that I've missed an alarm. I'm considering using a different program that is more likely to wake me, for example Math Alarm Clock. However before torturing myself with mathematical problems every morning I would first like to find out why I missed the alarm to see if there is an easier solution to the problem.

Did I try to hit the snooze button but accidentally turned it off?
Did I not hear it even though it rang 5 times?
Did I set it for the wrong time and it didn't ring at all?
etc...

In order to help investigate what the problem was I'd like to see a list of alarm related events. Is there any log where I can see all (or recent) alarm clock events, including changing alarms, alarms ringing and being turned off?

I use the currently use the default alarm clock on the HTC Desire, but if the logging feature is only available in another alarm clock application I would consider switching.


texts: Is it safe to manually delete the contents of the .Trash-1000 folder on my SDCard?

texts:
Can anyone please provide an explanation (or a good resource) of how the folder /mnt/sdcard/.Trash-1000 functions and whether or not it was safe to manually delete its contents?  Based on the name and the way it seemingly acts it would be logical to assume that it's a garbage folder, but you know what happens when you assume...

In case it matters I'm running CyanogenMod 6.2.1 (based on Android 2.2.1) on my Motorola Droid.


texts: I would like to setup fingerprint unlock on my Nexus 6P. I believe I have it setup correctly, but when I go to unlock the phone by putting my finger on the sensor, it vibrates once then makes me put in my pattern to unlock the phone. Isn't there a way to unlock with just the fingerprint and not have to do the pattern also?
