I'm trying to export the complete chat between a user on WhatsApp. I have tried using the "Email Chat" option, but it seems this feature does not export the complete conversation. I believe it has some sort of size limit. I experimented with several large conversations (dating back to 2 year ago) - they should definitely be 4 MB+ in file size when exported, but when I export them via Gmail, the file size is always 2 MB. The messages before that are ignored.

I also tried using web.whatsapp.com and scrolling upwards using iMacros and then selecting the text using jQuery  but that is proving to be difficult. Browser crashes after a certain point.

I don't believe the database backups in /sdcard/WhatsApp/ are of any use - they're heavily encrypted.

Any interesting work-arounds or solutions?

texts:
I just recorded an audio using an app on my phone, The audio file has an extension .WAV, but when I try sending it via WhatsApp, I get this error

  Failed to process audio, please try again later, If you keep seeing this message, please restart your phone

Things I tried so far:

1) I restarted 4 times

2) Updated Google Play Music and WhatsApp as given in this site

3) Cleared Data, Cache and restarted WhatsApp

But nothing seems to solve the problem

I have enough memory on the phone, I can successfully send instant voice messages, PDFs, pictures and videos and contacts, I have read that WhatsApp supports .WAV so I dont think its a problem with the audio format, the audio plays well in my phone, so the audio file isnt corrupt or anything,
I have a strong Internet connection too.

Surprisingly I did not find any info on this particular error on the internet, It would be great If someone could tell me what the problem is.

Phone Details:

Phone: Xperia L

Android version: 4.2.2 (JellyBean)

WhatsApp version: 2.16.207


texts: Select IP phone account for native dialer

texts:
I have two different SIP accounts: one is my favorite, but is only available from my home network. The other should be used from all other wi-fi networks. In case that I do not have any wi-fi connection, I would like to use the regular telephone service.

I managed to setup both accounts as IP accounts in android (4.2, G Nexus, native SIP support). However, I can only define one of the IP accounts as primary. This means that I need to change the primary account manually whenever I leave or come home. Android only asks whether to use IP or not, but doesn't ask which IP account to use. Is it possible to change this behavior?
If possible, I would like to use the native dialer and no SIP app.


texts: Can I perform phone tasks through a Windows 7 PC directly?

texts:
As an developer and QA tester, spending hours on my Xperia Z1 Compact isn't too cosy. Therefore, messing around with android emulation software like BlueStacks, I run into compatibility problems, mostly GAPIs (Graphic Application Program Interface).

Therefore, I was wondering if there is a way to connect my phone to my Win7 PC with the USB cable, and have the phone do all the android processing, and all the PC will do, is enable USB keyboard and mouse as input devices for the phone, and an external monitor as the output device which the PC will boost the resolution from the phone into something that's a decent resolution on the monitor.

But I don't know if the USB poll rate on the Z1 Compact is high enough to deliver all that information both ways without too much latencity.

So, is this possible and is is already done?

Is there any app that doesn't have this problem? Alternatively, is there any other way I can delete that sound? I don't really need it anyway.

texts: Blank screen when trying to boot into recovery mode on Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1

texts:
I am in the middle of trying to install Cyanogenmod on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 according to Wiki instructions and I'm getting stuck when I try to go into recovery mode. I tried to flash it to koush's ClockworkMod Recovery (recovery-clockwork-6.0.2.3-p5110)

I've tried using Power + Vol Up and by using adb reboot recovery in the terminal on my PC. It seems to start into recovery mode with a message in blue stating it's entering recovery mode, however, it just goes black and I can't progress passed this point.

I can still boot into the stock and into Download Mode fine.

It's possible there was a problem installing the custom recovery as I never saw a progress bar as described in the wiki. Instead, it seems to stay at the "Don't power off target device" screen, despite the message in my terminal stating that it was finished. If the custom recovery was botched, how can I remedy it?

What can I check to narrow down the problem?

I'm running off a PC using Linux Mint in case that helps.


texts:
I have seen this problem on a Nexus 4 and Nexus 5. Bluetooth is switched on unexpectedly. It can be turned off, but will come back a minute or so later.

Googling around, it seems that this could be due to a misbehaving app, but there doesn't seem to be a good solution for finding out which app.

texts: Alldaymall A88s tablet popping up junk from PornClub. I have it rooted. Now what?

texts:
On eBay I picked up one of those cheap Chinese 7" Quad-Core AllDayMall A88s tablets for $25, WiFi-only.

When it comes on all is fine unless you try to open the browser.  Then things start popping up that are quite unsavory.  So I did a factory reset but it seems all that junk is built in.

I sure hope the kid's version doesn't have this firmware.  There are some things you simply cannot un-see.  Perhaps the pink ones are different.

Going into settings, apps, I was able to identify and stop a lot of it.  But as soon as I opened the browser it went nuts showing more.

I got the unit to tell me to sideload a file via the menu that comes up when you hold down-volume and power.  Cool.  Following somebody's advice I installed the Android SDK to do it.  But then found out that all I needed was the ADB Platform Tools with adb.exe.  (Don't need the SDK at all it turns out)

So I plugged it into my Win7 machine which installed an Alcatel driver for it.  I could see it in device manager.

Typing

adb device -l

gave me a long number then the word sideload (instead of the name of the device)

Pushing on, I found out for positive certain that it needs Alldaymall-A88X-android 4.4.2-bsf.rar and thought I was on a roll.
All I had to do was download the file, unRAR it to get the ROM image, then refresh the ROM with the command it was asking for:

adb sideload Alldaymall-A888x-etc-etc

-- But no, the download link is to a dropbox account that says not found.

It can easily be set to receive a sideload.  Driver installed and working. Daemon program installed and working on the PC to handle the work.   Necessary file identified.  Seemed like a slam dunk.  But no.  Not available.  Dead End.  <sigh>  Lots of smoke but no fire.

Switching gears, I used the Windows version of one-click KingoRoot which said it succeeded.  Went to the play store to get Kingo SuperUser and a good file explorer so I can seek and destroy.

During the process of setting up for Play Store it wants to log in, so I let it connect to WiFi.  Big mistake.  I never even got to the part of credentials with Google.  Pop-ups on every screen and unresponsive touch panel.  OK, reboot.

I installed a mouse via an adapter into the USB port but it worked the same as the screen.  Just fine.  Until it didn't.

Rebooted; Shut off WiFi then with the stock file explorer I went into the DCIM directory and under Camera there were a bunch of porn photos and a video, which I successfully deleted.

I am not sure how to find the built-in junkware so I can remove it.

I made some headway but this has taken hours.  So now I turn to Android Stack Exchange to get some expert opinions.  You can see that I have done my homework before asking for help.

Last thing to do tonight is to uninstall the SDK.

The question is in the title:  Now what?


texts: Since which Android version does it started emulating the SDCard?

texts:
I know it's emulated in ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH_MR1 and over but I would like to know since which previous versions and preferable from official sources.

EDIT1:

Not an official source but I guess this answer my question (from The Commons Blog):

  Android 3.0 changed this around, allowing internal and external
  storage to each be on the same partition, just in separate directory
  trees. This provided a lot more flexibility for users, as now there
  was no artificial hard distinction between space for internal storage
  and space for external storage. Device manufacturers still could elect
  to have external storage be a separate partition, or even be on
  removable media, but typically they did not.

texts: What does Android rooting imply in terms of user accounts?

texts:
I've read dozens of articles about rooting Android, all explaining how and why, but couldn't find one explaining what really happens to the user.
I don't have an Android device, I'm writing in a Linux user perspective.

Which one (if any) of these scenarios is true:

Once rooted you always log in as root. It's the end of individual users.
Once rooted all user accounts still exist as before but now have full root privileges. Created files still get the user:group of whoever is logged in.
2.1. If the above is true, can it be enabled for some users and disabled for others?
Rooting is nothing more than having access to a 'sudo'-like command. You can use it when and only when you decide. All user accounts are unchanged.
3.1 If the above is true, can it be enabled for some users and disabled for others? Is there a 'sudoers'?
If none of the above, what?

texts: Reality check – Has ES file explorer abandoned its pro version?

texts:
Has anybody else wondered if ES Global decided to make money with their Explorer app by abandoning the pro version altogether and milking the free version?

I have used ES file explorer for a long time. I've been having more and more problems with the pro version with regards to cloud networking, which is one of the features that I use most. Sometimes it grants me access to all Google Drives, other times not at all, and most frequently only to some drives.

I decided this morning to try their free version. Their free version  not only worked extremely well with Google Drive, the connection is much faster than the pro version. In contrast, they have apparently spent a lot of effort updating the crapware. Today it felt like trapware. I was asked to install other apps in order to access features. So I did, to test this, and immediately uninstalled them. I still had access to the features but I feel like I need to take a long hot shower.

Have other people seen this? Is this a new moneymaking  twist – offering a pro version without ads and updates while milking the free version? Or am I missing something?

texts: Can I automatically turn off WIFI completely whenever not connected to a network on Android 10+

texts:
Here's my problem:
I used to run Lineage 16 on my Pixel3a, which still had the "profile" option where I could do things like "When my home network is not within reach, switch to another profile". I used this to turn off wifi when leaving the house and it worked very well. Important: This did not need my location services to be on to work.
Now I've upgraded to Lineage 17.1 (Android 10) and this option is gone. I am now looking into how to rebuild that functionality.
My phone is rooted (via Magisk), and as a software developer I am ready to use all tools I have available.
What I've tried: I've built an app that periodically checks if I am connected to one specific SSID (since that is all I can see on Android 10 anymore - "Am I connected to "my-ssid"?) and then turns of wifi using the shell and sulike this:  sudo("svc wifi disable"). sudo() is my function that opens a process and talks to the shell.
The problem is I don't think there is a way I can guarantee my app always runs, and I'd like this to also work when the app is off? It doesn't even need to be a specific SSID, I'd be happy if my result is: "If we're not connected to a wifi network for more than 3min, turn wifi off.
so what other options do I have? Tasker, just like my own attempt, kind of works but only with location services on, which I'd like to avoid. What else can I do. Can I run some kind of script or a job just on the shell or so?
Is there anything I can do with Magisk or Xposed?
Happy for any help here - the internet is full of links and tips, but they all target older OS versions. Btw the source for my (extremely rough draft) app is here if anyone is curious.


texts: How do I search the SD card with standard Android File Explorers?

texts:
My Android Pie SD card storage looks like this:

.
├── Android
|   ├──data
|   |  ├── com.amazon.mShop.android.shopping
|   |  |   └── ...
|   |  ├── com.amazon.venezia
|   |  |   └── ...
|   |  ├── com.android.providers.media
|   |  |   └── ...
|   |  └── ...
|   └── ...
└── LOST.DIR

If I navigate to /Android/data/ on the SD card you can see the first three directories are:

com.amazon.mShop.android.shopping
com.amazon.venezia
com.android.providers.media

If I search for the string venezia results are only returned for my internal storage, but nothing for the SD card.

Is there a problem with Android search, or is my search procedure wrong? I've tried on multiple Play store file explorers, all with the same result (inability to search SD card).

Edit - The following Termux commands provide the following output:

$ find /sdcard/ -iname '*venezia*'
/sdcard/Android/data/com.amazon.venezia

$ ls /sdcard/Android/data/com.amazon.venezia

texts: Wifi access point login page everytime I open the browser via an intent

texts:
This one is driving me mad :)

A few days ago, I connected to a free WiFi AP at a store.  The network requires a logon and showed the logon page when I opened the browser.  The terms and conditions included me giving them permission to send me marketing SMSs so I just ignored the logon.  Chrome was my default browser.

Now, every time my browser opens via an intent other than the launcher, e.g. from Flipboard, it displays this logon page.  This happens whether or not WiFi is enabled.

I've cleared all data and defaults for both my browsers (I only have stock Google browser and Chrome), rebooted my phone and "forgotten" the WiFi AP but still it shows up.

I'm running stock 4.1.2, rooted, on a Galaxy S3 GT9300.

Any ideas before I have to do a factory reset?

Thanks.

texts: How options do I have for data recovery for my Samsunge Note 4?

texts:
The screen on my Samsung Note 4 cracked. Unfortunately, I did not back up the data in internal memory before that happened. Although the phone works, I have no way to access my data since I don't have a screen.
I am trying to determine what the best path forward is for recovering my data. These are the options I have identified as of the the moment.

I have an extra note 4 lying around and thought it might be possible to try and switch the screens, but I am not sure if that is easily doable.
Have a professional recover the data for me.

If anyone knows of other options then please let me know. For example, if there is a way to access the contents of the phone without a screen that would be really helpful.
Which is the best path forward? Should I just bite the bullet and pay for recovery services?

texts: How do I keep android SDK and reuse it on other PCs without the internet

texts:
I am fresh-from-the-oven kind of new to android and I just downloaded the android studio which is a whooping 683mb, after downloading it, I noticed it didn't come with SDK and that it was going to download a whole other stuff that is sized around 1.5gb, It was the second "baddest" news since the 1993 Apple Newton announcement. Why this bothers me is because I format my PC every now and then because of some reason, meaning I'll always have to go through this daunting process quite frequently.

I then figured I had to download the portable version with the believe that when  android studio downloads the SDK, it will be inside the folder where the portable version was extracted, then I'll copy the whole folder with the downloaded SDK and zip it and keep safely.

My question is this, will it work, is this the right thing to do, when I extract it to a new PC, does it re-download SDK and those other monstrously large stuff.

Thanks.

texts: Where can I get the stock Android Kernel  configuration for Galaxy S3 running ICS?

texts:
Question: We are trying to find the kernel configuration on a currently running Samsung Galaxy S2, with Android 4.0.3 (Ice-Cream Sandwich). We do not wish to root the phone. We checked /proc/config.gz as well as looking for config-* under /boot (which did not exist). We have downloaded the Samsung kernel git repository and are browsing arm configs. What is the kernel config that matches our phone. If it is not one of these which one will work with out phone? What is the specific configuration for the kernel?

Kernel version: 3.0.15-I9100MUGLD3-CL377577se.infra@SEP-74#3

texts: Find Your Device doesn't lock/erase or indicate it will be completed when phone is online

texts:
I don't believe these exact questions have been answered, so would appreciate your help!

I lost my Samsung Galaxy S8 while it was on airplane mode. I have been checking Find Your Device frequently, but I have seen no change in the date it was synced (which is the day before I lost it), nor have I been able to locate it.

I tried locking it, but after inputting the information the screen gets stuck in “Trying to contact your phone…”.

I also clicked “Yes, erase” in the “Consider erasing your device” section. The words “Trying to contact your device to erase it…” showed up in the bottom left corner and disappeared within a few seconds. I was left with a screen saying that I could restart these steps at any time:

When I go to the Find Your Device homepage again, there is no record that I tried erasing the phone. The “Yes, erase” option is still there. I tried it multiple times from both of my Gmail accounts. How can I tell that the erase command was sent and will be completed as soon as the device is online? And how can I tell if it has been erased? I did not receive any emails about it.

I did sign out of my Google accounts remotely and change my passwords. Is that why it doesn’t work? I thought I would still be able to track the device after those actions, but I don’t know if I can still lock the phone or erase it. I don’t actually know if the signout and password changes worked, though, because the phone was on airplane mode when I lost it.

Any other advice would be great. Thanks!


texts: Xperia Z3 Android 6.0 : How to share my computer internet with USB?

texts:
Having troubles sharing my internet connection from my desktop computer to my Xperia Z3 compact phone. I went to Settings -> Network connections -> USB connection. From this post (a bit old, it's meant for KitKat and not Marshmallow), I expected to view an option like USB internet. But there is only an option called Software install that I checked. But what software is this option about and how to install it, I don't get it.

I tried to connect my phone to my Windows 10 computer after checking the option, nothing special comes, no software install. I can choose several options :

charging only
transfer files (MTP)
mass storage (MSC)
MIDI

Choosing MTP, I can move files from my computer to my phone. But unlike what is presented in this post, no additional network connection do appear on my computer. I tried to share my connection (because my computer have two Ethernet ports, I can activate it anyway), but that does not work. No internet on my phone.

Sorry if the menus or options from this post are not strictly the same in the english version, my phone is in another language. Anyway, What I describe should be clear enough (otherwise just say, I'll explain more deeply).

Can anyone help ? I guess it's something special to Sony phones, or maybe it did change from Android 4 to Android 6, but I'm a little confused...

texts: stuck installing cyanogenmod on htc one X+

texts:
After using the standard android on my one X+ for a long time, I decided to get started with cyanogenmod today.

I started by using this manual: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_endeavoru
I already rooted it a long time ago, so I skipped everything up onto installing recovery.

First I tried installing the enrc2b, but this gave me the error that my phone was a endeavoru (A bit strange, because everywhere they say that's a HTC one X, while mine is definitely a HTC one X+).
After that, I continued with the version for the endeavoru and successfully installed cm-10.2.1-endeavoru.zip on it.

After rebooting it, I got stuck on a endless boot screen of cyanogenmod. I noticed this line in the description:

  his device, if unlocked with HTCDev Unlock, must have its kernel
  flashed via fastboot. Extract boot.img from the CyanogenMod .zip
  package and flash it from the bootloader with: fastboot flash boot
  boot.img

I have no idea if I rooted it with HTCDev Unlock, I did it a long time ago, but I thought I would give it a try. After executing fastboot flash boot boot.img I rebooted, and now I am stuck at a endless HTC splash screen.

I can still get to the fastboot and recovery menu, but have no clue where I wned wrong and how to continue. I already tried a factory reset, but to no avail. I also tried getting the backup that I made back from recovery, but it says it can't find any backups.

any ideas how to continue...?

I got a little fit further. When I look at the boot screen, it should clearly be a enrc2b

I downloaded cm-10.2.1-enrc2b.zip , extracted boot.img and flashed that onto it. This at least brought me back to getting stuck at the cyanogenmod screen instead of the HTC screen.

After that I tried to install cm-10.2.1-enrc2b.zip onto it, but that's giving me this error:

texts: Get notes created using "Notes" default app and export them to PC

texts:
I'm searching a way for get all my notes1 created in my Samsung Galaxy Ace II2 and export them to PC "in separately or unified text file (.txt)".

After hours of searching, I found this question; however, I can't follow the provided steps and the final target is quite different from the linked question.

As an alternative, I found a software called Remo Recover for Android but this app looks like it cannot access the saved notes.

In another search, this answer suggests:

Select memo/note.
Select "Share" or "Send" selected note.

The problem with this solution is that I have more than 100 notes and some of them has 1500 characters, and making this manually takes much time.

I'm looking for a solution4 that download/export the saved notes from my smartphone and save them in my PC; those notes should2 be stored as .txt files (separately, or in a unified .txt file).

1 The app used for taking notes/memos is the default one integrated in the smartphone.

Here's a image sample; I didn't find the name or another useful information about the default note/memo app.

2 My smartphone has not been rooted or modified; no additional notes app is in the smartphone.

3 Other acceptable file extensions could be XSL or DOCX.

4 I'm not sure if this question should be created on Software Recommendations too, because the possible solution could be a free or commercial app / software.

Edit: Package name of Notes app: com.sec.android.app.memo. Source

texts:
A long time ago my Nexus 4 was doing an OTA update and crashed midway through. Now when I try to power it on it shows the google symbol then a standing Android with its chest open and a progress bar under it. The progress bar says "Installing System Update...". Then when about 25% through (A few seconds) the Android is laying down with its chest open and a red triangle with a exclamation mark over the Andriod. The screen says "Error!". If I wait a few minutes then it repeats this process.

I have searched the internet for long hours without finding any solution. I sadly don't have USB de-bugging on or my problem would have been solved long ago.

I currently have Ubuntu 16.04 and Windows 7 and I can't seem to mount the Nexus on either one. When I enter recovery mode it has the same dead Andriod and it says "No Command". I have factory-reset it and wiped the cache partition but neither helped in anyway.

I am not sure but I believe to update from ADB I need USB de-bugging activated and the Nexus needs to be connected to my computer. (Both things I can't do) All of the solutions I find need USB de-bugging enabled and I can't find any way of activating it while it is in it's current state. When I load fastboot mode this is what it says in the bottom.

FASTBOOT MODE
PRODUCT NAME - mako
VARIANT - mako 16GB

texts: Will bootloader unlocking provide access to all the apps in the Play Store?

My flyer doesn't allow few apps to be installed from the Play Store as it shows "This app is not compatible with your device" and this incompatibility is not due to OS. If I get the apk of this app from a forum, I can install it but few apps don't have apks outside Play Store.

I don't want to root my device, but simply unlock the bootloader so that I can access all of the apps on the Play Store without country/device restrictions. I read somewhere that it is mandatory to flash the device while unlocking the bootloader.

If I unlock the bootloader of my Flyer will I be able to install all OS compatible apps from the Play Store?

texts: Is it possible to remove OAT files for unwanted system apps? [rooted locked device]

texts:
I have not enough free space on my Moto X, so I want to free up some space in data partition used by system apps bloatware. For example, disabled Slides with uninstalled updates still consumes 31 MB of space (App=Total storage usage, not data). 27 MB of it is OAT file in /data/dalvik-cache folder. I'm trying to delete that file in way that does not trigger its recreation by ART on next boot. But even replacing OAT file with blank file triggers recompilation. And using pm uninstall --user 0 command also didn't help.

And I have no idea, what is remaining 4 MB.

I have rooted, but locked Android 5.1 device (and unable to unlock – AT&T Moto X). Xposed FW installed.

Does exist way to delete permanently these OAT files of unused system apps?
Best thing occurred to me is that I can delete these files by script after every start, but it would mean huge penalization of boot time every boot.

Thanks for response.

I would like to look at the Google Play store for a country different than my own, but I've spent an hour trying to figure out how to find or view the stores for any other country and I can't find the option to do so.

For iOS I just use iTunes and it has a country button at the bottom of the page where I can simply choose any country to view, I assumed for Google Play there has to be something similar and I'm just not able to find it.

EDIT: This answer for this isn't found in in this thread (How do I change the Google Play country?), the answer there was simply on how to view only one other country, and required that you make a purchase in that country. There must be another way.

texts: In theory can Samsung devices get root without tripping Knox, for example by exploit?

texts:
According to Wikipedia article

Before booting in the main Kernel, Samsung runs a "pre-boot"
environment where it checks for the signature match of all elements of
the OS.

If a method to get root that does not rely on the bootloader existed, would this bypass Knox? For example if an exploit was found? After the e-fuse for Knox is tripped, can it be untripped, or no because it's physical?

Somehow I'm on a separate subnet, and even if I force my device on the correct subnet, it still doesn't work, even though from my PC I can ping my droid.

So is there a way on my ICS tablet to plug into my computer via USB and through some setup, preferably without additional software, get to my localhost server?

texts: Is it possible to install already installed apps with one click?

texts: In the Apple App Store, if you have downloaded an item in the past, you can click the INSTALL button to download it in one click. However, in the Google Play Store, you have to go into the app, press the install button, accept the permissions, and then it's downloaded. It's a bit tedious if you're batch re-installing after you did a factory reset. Is there a function similar to that button in the App Store, but for the Google Play Store?

How can I free up space? I have a 16 GB SD card so its a little frustrating that I can't use it.


texts:
On standard GNU/Linux computers, SELinux comes with a set of tools allowing the administrator to troubleshoot permission issues.

Such tools allow to:

Temporarily switch a single domain in permissive mode, thus reducing the security impact on the whole device compared to a global permissive mode (and yes, per-domain permissive mode is supported in Android's SELinux): semanage
List existing SELinux users, roles and categories (AFAIK categories are used for multi-users devices): semanage, seinfo, chcat
Query the SELinux policy: sesearch

I did not find any of these tools in my device.

Is there any equivalent or a way to install them?

texts: New android user; switching between wifi and mobile data

texts:
When I leave the office my S4 doesn't seem to want to connect to mobile data. So, I end up with no connection at all. Turning mobile data off and on does nothing at all, I seem unable to establish a connection unless I restart the phone.

It happens occasionally in reverse also, if I go to work (or home, it is not exclusive to a single network) my phone maintains the mobile connection and wont join the wifi connection automatically (and sometimes I need to enter my password to connect to the wifi.)

Any ideas?

Note, my issue sounds the same as this one, though there is no solution there; Nexus One: 3G/WIFI Not Switching

texts: HTC one infinite reboot. How to turn off bluetooth from adb?

texts:
This is my first question here...
My problem is similar to the one explained here:
HTC. infinite reboot. How to turn off bluetooth from adb?
..my HTC one rebooting continuously due to bluetooth. So I need to turn bluetooth off from adb or other.
I don't have any experience with adb/fastboot nor with recovery mode. I have a Mac with Android Studio installed (including SDK and adb+fastboot). (I'm only starting to learn "android programming").
I would like to try the commands posted in the above link to solve my issue but I have some problems:
To enter the Recovery-mode menu I pass through the "Recovery" option on the boot menu (see image).

In the HTC site they list the options available on the Recovery-mode menu. The options of this menu are the same I have when I enter recovery-mode, except that there should be an "Apply update from ADB" option that is not present on my phone. (see picture)

I know adb installation is correctly set up (I use it to connect to my other phone to test the app I develop on Android Studio).
I know that my mac can "see" my HTC when it's connected to USB (for a short moment, before rebooting, when the Android UI of my phone has already load, my mac shows me a message - from Android File Transfer application - telling me that it can't connect to the device).

When I'm in recovery mode and I connect my phone through USB and I enter the ADB command "adb devices" on my terminal and my HTC phone is not listed.
Do you think I have any chance to fix this problem ? I'd like to avoid factory resetting my phone.
Any help/guidance on how to operate would be very much appreciated. Thanks !


texts: Apparent duplicate folders/files accumulating on external SD card

texts:
First, some background. I have a GoClever Orion 785 Android (Jellybean 4.2.2) tablet which I have been happily using for over a year. I am using an external SD card which I use to store data (music/pictures/docs/pdf). For cutting/pasting files I use the ES File Explorer app that was supplied with the tablet. I periodically connect it to my laptop via the USB lead to back up the data. After over a years' use I noticed it becoming sluggish and more unstable, so I performed a factory reset and reinstalled/updated the apps I use most. There was a marked improvement.

Now, when I connect to my laptop, and view the external SD card with Windows Explorer prior to backing up, I see that all the folders are shown multiple times (around a dozen or so copies). Looking in these folders, the files icons primarily show as blank - as if the file type is not recognised. It is almost as if these are archived backup versions. Consequently, it takes some time to locate the genuine folder for backup purposes. These duplicate folders do not show up when viewed within Android using ES File Explorer. However, most of the images shown in the Gallery are blank - presumably picking up the file copies. The same occurs when viewing the music files within ES File Explorer - but they cannot be deleted within that app.

As all the files were backed up, I decided to try deleting the "archive" folders within Windows Explorer. Not a success, as only a handful of blank images/videos at all are visible within Gallery, and none at all within ES File Explorer on Android. I note the latter now has a Recycle bin, but I have been emptying this, and I have since tried disabling this option.

So - my question is, can anybody suggest what is causing these duplicates, and how can I stop it recurring? Hopefully before I start accumulating more data.

As soon as I'm connected on a call, both outgoing and ingoing, the screen goes blank, even if it's sitting on a desk (i.e. it's not the result of the proximity sensor).

I can't get the screen to go back on until the call is ended.  Pressing the power button does nothing; pressing the power button and then the fingerprint sensor gives the phone a brief vibration, but does nothing for the screen.

I can still speak and hear during the call, I just can't interact with the screen in any way.

Once the call is over, I can get the screen back on via power button + fingerprint sensor.

My Settings has no option under Calls for turning the screen on or off.

My first problem:

My Google Play had a persistent "No connection" error.
There are a bunch of fixes but none of them worked.
So I decided to try the final fix: Restore device.
Now I knew this would delete most my data (Rest stored in Google Account cloud).
So I looked into backup software for my laptop (since I couldn't get backup software on the play store).

My second problem:

I'm a recently started Android developer so I had the SDK and USB driver. Now I tried to push my software to the device through USB but USB debugging wasn't working (Yes my debugging is on, yes I've tried everything to fix my debugging problem).

So then:

When I couldn't get backup software on my android OR my computer I thought just copying the data off my device (my computer could see the device as a media device, so I could see the files on my computer just couldn't get USB debugging on).

My third problem:

So I copied everything I could and saved it to my computer.
Restored my device.
Dragged all the files back onto the Android.
Didn't work.
Is there anyway I can get those files back onto my device?
Is has folders such as: Android, DCIM, Download, Movies, Picture, Storage etc...

TL;DR:

My Play Store isn't working. (It now does after the reset).

My USB Debugging isn't working.

I can't get my "backup" back onto my device.

If anyone could fix any or all of these problems, that would be amazing, if you need anymore info let me know!

texts: Is it normal for Android System to be the top battery user?

texts:
Over the past couple of days, the battery usage of my new phone has been as follows:

  34% - Android System
  28% - Cell Standby
  21% - Phone idle
  10% - Display
  03% - Google Goggles
  02% - Angry Birds
  02% - Majesty

This feels very off to me. I would have expected the games and display to rank much higher in terms of battery use. Could the high usage of Android System indicate a potential problem, or is this fairly normal?

Additional information:

I typically end up with around 15:00 hours uptime and 3:45 hours awake by the end of the day. Daily use so far includes short bursts of playing games and Internet use, but no listening to music. I haven't had a day of heavy calls/texting with the phone yet.

These numbers are all from the built in battery use screen under settings.

texts:
On my LG G3 running Android 5.0 I have a problem that I started to notice while playing Clash Royale (a real time multiplayer game). My actions would sometimes have a delay of up to 2 seconds. Other players wouldn't have that problem. So I started investigating.

Here are the facts:

I'm always on my home Wi-Fi.
When I ping my router from my G3 I can see a spike in the latency exactly every 20 seconds.
It is not location dependent, reception is good.
Other devices don't experience this using the same Wi-Fi.

Hence I think this must really have to do with my G3. It is not rooted and I haven't been playing with any internal settings. Displaying the CPU usage from the developer settings doesn't show anything suspicious during the spikes.

Has anybody experienced anything similar? Any ideas how to further track down the root of this issue?

What I want to do:

Open web.whatsapp.com
Take a screenshot, crop the QR code only
Make the image available in Genymotion
Feed that image into the preview camera, which would be in turn available when I bring up the WhatsApp Web activation in WhatsApp.
The WhatsApp app would then think of the feed as coming live, thus enable the authorization.

The screen was black, but I didn't think anything of it until my alarm went off this morning. I was unable to turn it off because the screen was black and unresponsive. I held in the power button and the "Turn Off" Menu showed up so I restarted my phone. It did the same thing - starting animation, entered "swipe code" and then a black screen. I searched Google, and some people had success booting in "Safe Mode". That caused the same result with the exception of he words "Safe Mode" in the bottom left corner. I also tried booting without the SIM in and same result. I have called the phone and it does vibrate, but it is not responsive to answer. Is there some way to recover the phone without a factory reset? Just as an FYI, I am running the newest version of Android Marshmallow available for the Nexus 6 with the March Security patch.

When I move the application to SD card, still I have some space occupied in internal memory

I don't understand the exact use of Link2SD: if I allotted 1GB of space for the apps, then why my internal space is being used -- and if Link2SD does work like this only, then I would better use force move application using adb shell, which even does not require rooting. Can anyone please clarify my doubts, and let me know how can I use Link2SD, so that everything is moved to SD Card and nothing remains in internal memory?

texts: Cannot reach fastboot from Recovery Mode

texts:
Beforehand: Sorry for asking. I was sure this wasn't duplicate.

I have made myself a soft brick. The story: used kingoroot or something similar, then was too much in a rush hitting the "yes, please, ruin my rooted device via a firmware update!" button.

Now I made it to this exact situation:

I can reach recovery mode
I get the right answer when testing for root in recmode
I think I got the right rom file but it wont install correctly neither from adb sideload nor via applying it from external sdcard

My guessed salvation: updating the bootloader because I think this gives me the problems with sideloading. I'm here to ask if this is correct and if so how one does so.

EDIT:

Apparently I made some mistakes. The rom archive lists some roms that are neither tagged by OTA nor by a build number (I think I have to choose one of those because None of the ones that have a build number have the one I need). I need build number B116 because it says so an the recovery screen. I choose this one because I am a native german speaker. Is this the correct file?

I unpacked the file and found a file named update.zip containig something that looked like a system. I tried to sideload it and I tried to apply it from sdcard both didn't work.

EDIT:

Whenever I try to sideload the rom sideload gets stuck at 52%. Trying to install it via sdcard results in abort.

EDIT:

The most successful way seems to be installing from sdcard which I reread how to do here. I forgot to put the package into a directory called dload. When doing this installation does not abort in a split second but rather a few seconds later saying can't install this package (2016 02 27  17:38:09 CST over newer build (Thu May 4 14:58:09 CST 2017) shame is, that the newest non-OTA builds are all older than the given date.


texts: Can only connect 'halfway' over mobile hotspot

texts:
On my Android phone,  I can connect to websites and browse them fine. Also,  if I turn my mobile Hotspot on,  I can connect a desktop/laptop to it, FTP into the phone itself etc.

However,  if I try to connect to any website from my laptop over the Portable Hotspot connection,  this fails.  traceroute to 8.8.8.8 shows about 10 hops,  with about 53 msec trip time,  ending at 209.85.241.35 or 216.239.56.19 -  but doesn't go all the way there.

What could the problem be?  And how can I circumvent it?

Notes:

Ping from my computer to my phone (192.168.43.1) works.
Connections fail even if I use numeric addresses,  so it doesn't look like a DNS issue.
I have a Redmi 3S phone,  with Android version 6.0.1 (MMB29M) - with no customizations,  just official updates.
I'm in the US and using Simple mobile.

Additional ex-post-facto information:

When I flew back to the Netherlands and switched to my local cellular provider (T-Mobile Netherlands), everything was working fine and I could connect to websites from the same laptop - without any configuration changes whatsoever, both with numeric addresses and domain names. So it must be some issue with the cellular provider (or compatibility on the phone side, or the laptop side, with what it offers).

Although modem.bin files in two of the archives I've looked into don't differ in size, they do differ; and that's the only difference between the two archives.)

I have a new tablet Samsung Tab 3

My knowledge of the Android operating system is only rudimentary. But I can participate on forums and can write posts.  But now my tablet is making trouble. While writing a post the key board vanishes and refuses to show up again. Often I have to touch the screen ten times till finally the keyboard comes up, only to vanish again. I suppose it is a malfunction of my tablet,  and I have to ask for a new one, but it may be that by inexperience with Android  I make some mistakes.
Do other users of tablets with Android know of this problem?


texts: Android 2.2 - External SD card not working - says "Blank External SD card" -- Why?

texts:
OS: Android 2.2

Device: Samsung Galaxy S

All of a sudden my external SD card has stopped working.

Error Notification:

> Blank External SD card
>
>  SD card blank or has unsupported file system.

The last thing I did before this was to record some video, which was set to record to the external card, and then plugged it into USB.

I also installed USB drivers for the phone from Softpedia as Windows wasn't recognaising it by default. After installation the phone's memory showed up as a removable disk but the external card did not. Then after unplugging the device from the PC I had that error in the notification bar.

How do I recover my SD card? Do I need to format and therefore stand to lose the data on it?

texts: Problems in Local Terminal in Android's Developer Menu

texts: I am currently having a problem in my Android 9's local terminal from the developer menu, where keys such as $ are turned into their counterpart in the QWERTY keyboard without pressing shift (for example a $ is turned into 4). The actual numbers are not affected, just the other characters (I was trying to print an environment variable, and the $ sign turned into 4). Anyone have experienced this problem before?


texts: New Galaxy Tab 2 10" backlight doesn't stay lit during use

texts: We are definitely newbies - can someone help?  We will be in full use of the tablet and the light goes dim.  It can happen shortly after we've turned it on, or it can be hours after play.  Doesn't seem right.  I have until tomorrow to return/exchange tablet, but my son has been leveling up in games that he doesn't want to lose.  Can we move the memory to a new one if we change it out?  How?  Or can we do something to fix it?  Thank you!!


texts: Google Play website doesn't show all previously installed apps

texts: When I browse my app history on the Google Play website(of apps that I have tried out in the past but aren't currently installed on my phone), it only lists them in alphabetic order until about 'L'. Nothing beyond that is shown. Does it have a hard limit on how many previous apps it can show?


texts: Does Titanium Backup break 'Sleep As Android?

texts:
Whenever I hit the button to start tracking my sleeping, Sleep As Android warns 'Titanium Backup' may break sleep tracking!

I was wondering under what circumstances does this happen and how to prevent it? It's kind of really important to have an alarm.

I found a little information on Google Groups.


texts: Do all microSD slots support the current maximum capacity in the market, or is it device-specific?

texts:
I know that currently (Dec 2013), microSD capacity is up to 64GB.

However reading some devices' specs, it says "includes microSD card slot, up to 32GB", is it a device restriction, or it's because it was written before 64GB cards were available?


texts: Htc one wifi download speed is slower then upload speed

texts:
I just bought a HTC one (m7) today and its working fine! But for some reason my wifi speed is really really slow on this phone. My download speed is slower then my upload speed at the moment wich isnt normal I think. This doesnt happen on other phones/laptops in this wifi network.

Why is the wifi download speed so slow on my HTC one? It started while downloading the newer updates it took hours to download/install them. After that the wifi is still really slow.
I tried a speedtest from speedtest.net and came out with a weird result:

1 Mbps download
5 Mbps upload

On my laptop connected to same wifi network:

40 Mbps download
5 Mbps upload

So the upload speed is fine but for some reason i only get 1 mbps download speed wich should be 40.

What is causing this and whats the best way to solve this?

Thanks for reading/help.

Router: Technicolor TG789vn v3

texts: Nexus 4: Lost superuser rights after an update to 4.2.1 - how can I get them back?

texts:
A couple of weeks ago, my rooted Nexus 4 was updated from 4.2 to 4.2.1. Now it still seems to be unlocked (open lock symbol while booting), but I've lost my Superuser privileges.

Is there any way I can get the SU privileges back without wiping my phone?
If not, what's the best way to backup all or most of the data before going through the SU process again?
Finally, how can I prevent this from happening again with the next update?

Thanks for your help!


texts: Can't change screen resolution of Android-x86_64 installed in UEFI mode

texts:
I previously used vga=ask and vga=<num> in Android-x86 6.0 to set the display resolution in VMWare and now in QEMU/KVM.

Now I downloaded and installed Android-x86_64 (CyanogenMod 13), in QEMU, in UEFI mode, to a GPT partition, and the option doesn't seem to work anymore. Instead it outputs:

  error: invalid file name 'vga=ask'

There doesn't appear to be much information about this elsewhere. But I could find:

What happened to vga=ask in newer kernels? (Unix.SE)
Grub: Legacy 'ask' parameter no longer supported (Superuser)
android-x86_64-5.1-rc1.img --- change resolution (Android-x86 at Google Groups)

I tried wm size 1280x720 (in terminal emulator as root) and it kind of works. the resolution appears to change, but the display area doesn't and it becomes a pain to read anything. So I had it reverted with wm size reset.

I also tried UVESA_MODE=1280x720 and it also reports "invalid filename 'UVESA_MODE'".

There's a proposed solution at the 3rd link (debug.drm.mode.force 1280x720) but it also didn't work.

So, how to change the screen resolution properly?

[Update] I tried on a new installation and the vga kernel option works in non-UEFI mode.
