texts: Can I run Ubuntu desktop x86 applications On Ubuntu For Android?

texts:
This may be a fairly simple question, but I want to be sure.  My guess is that it can't be done.

Question 1: For example, I have an executable for Linux (no GUI , just cmd line , it just makes some computations) and it works well in my x86 desktop and I want to be able to run it in my Android tablet. The tablet is running Ubuntu for Android. Is it possible to run the executable in the Ubuntu environment on Android?

Question 2: I have a standard commercial Linux app and I want to install and run it on Ubuntu for Android. Is that possible?

If it's not possible, is there any workaroud to this?

texts: Can my phone act as WiFi Access Point while Disabling Celluar Radio?

texts:
Can Android act as a WiFi Access Point while the cellular radio is turned off?

I tried to accomplish that using flight mode, but that won't work. While flight mode is enabled, Androids portable Wi-Fi hotspot option cannot be enabled. Quite logical, because one cannot tether while cellular networks are disabled.

To my knowledge, there is no obvious dedicated option to only disable cellular networks. There is an Cell Radio ShutOff, but that app just crashes when pressing the disable cellular network button on my phone.

Are there any apps for setting up a cellular less, non-tethering WiFi Access Point or other ways to do this?

What's that good for? What is it, what I am really accomplishing to do? See background below.

Background:

For recording interviews, I want to use a newer Android device [Galaxy S3] as a video camera (MirrorOp Sender app), while using an older device [iphone 4] as an external display (MirrorOp Receiver app). In some sense as a  "wireless live preview" display.

The MirrorOp app has to my knowledge no WiFi Direct mode. Therefore I am using Androids portable Wi-Fi hotspot option, so the receiver can log into the WiFi AndroidAP (WiFi access point). Took me a while to figure out, but it works so far.

During recording, be not disturbed my cellar calls, voip calls, messenger or update notifications, I would like to disable the cellular network radio. That also seems useful to save battery.

Another reason for not providing internet access is to prevent the receiver phone from using use the WiFi as hotspot (which would in reality, be just a 3G network) to download bigger files, updates, etc.

I don't like blocking mode, because then caller think I pressed the "rejection" button, and because it also does not save battery.

Is it possible to hide the visual feedback on the PIN entry on the Android stock lock screen?

The feedback makes it pretty easy for anybody standing near to watch the PIN:

I know that it is possible to disable the feedback when using a pattern, and I read tips that the pattern setting would also apply to the PIN entry, but I tried that and it didn't work.

I usually use the finger print sensor to unlock the phone, but on the rare occasions when it asks for the PIN ("for security") I always wonder why anyone would design a PIN entry screen like this.

I don't know if it matters, I'm using a bq Aquaris X. The Aquaris X5 I used before that had the same behavior (with Android 7), the HTC One before that did not (IIRC .. it's been a while).

How to fake my android - Zuk-Z1 to look like Nexus 5x/ 6p

My office has a policy only to allow email and calendar over Gmail native app on Nexus 5/ 6/ 5x/ 6P devices with latest factory Rom. I just bought Lenovo Zuk Z1, loving the grey metallic look of it. I was trying to fake my Zuk-Z1 as Nexus 6P, so when my GMAIL client makes a request to Company-Exchange Server it looks as if coming from Nexus-6p or Nexus-5x. The reason I am not trying to spoof Nexus-5 is as it does not have a fingerprint scanner. It would be great my device-administrator allows security policy to unlock my phone using fingerprint scanner. I am in so much liking this device, at time  price-value make me glad, other times, the so premium look of it makes feel happy. I downloaded Nexus 6p factory build, not able to extract the values from the img files.

I humbly request, if some can share the value below from the Nexus 5x/6p devices.

To be changed
ro.product.model
ro.product.brand
ro.product.name
ro.product.device
ro.product.manufacturer
ro.build.fingerprint
ro.build.product=Z1
ro.build.host

I have read online, not to be changed
ro.build.version.sdk

My plan is to replace these values in caynogenmod build.prop file. rebundle it and then flash it.
Do you think this makes sense. Do you guys think this would work.
If this work, next I really wish to spoof boxer email UA. A great email client, i would like to use. But, for now can someone please

update me on the above values for nexus 5x/ 6p
update me if i am missing on other important values.
update me if you think i am dumb.

Thank you all.

texts: How do I just charge (i.e. not mount for data transfer) a Galaxy Nexus when connected via USB to a PC?

texts:
I like to be able to charge my phone from any PC I happen to be using. With my previous HTC Android, I could default to "charge-only" and only switch it to "mount as disc drive" when I wished to, on my own machines.

Why? Being prompted for driver installs (at least on a Windows machine) is annoying;  connecting a storage device to a PC I don't own may be against policy/protocol/politeness.

It would appear that the Galaxy Nexus uses two protocols, MTP and PTP; I currently have only MTP switched on, but can't turn it off.

I could try to find a '"USB" cable that only connects pins 1 & 4 ... [to provide] ... power and no data'.. But this would mean carrying two different USB cables around.

Any other solutions?

texts: Set phone to unlock when pressing fingerprint sensor button (LG V20)

texts:
I'm not sure if the above question is specific to the device, the LG version of Android, or a general Android limitation/issue, so apologies if my tags are inaccurate.

LG V20 user here, running Android 7.0, the latest update for the device so far.

Phone is set to unlock using fingerprints, with the fingerprint sensor slash button on the backside of the device.

Currently, the phone unlocks both when I press this button or when I simply rest one of the registered fingers on the sensor, leading to 'accidental' unlocks sometimes, e.g. when simply picking up the phone.

My question: Is it possible to change this behavior (In stock Android? In some custom ROM?) to only unlock when the fingerprint sensor button is actively pressed, not when a finger simply rests on the sensor?

My SGS2 is dropping it's network connection multiple times a day without any notification.  The signal bars disappear and it just says NO SERVICE/VODAFONE NZ. No data, no 3G, no 2G, nothing...

I was previously on Gingerbread 2.3.6 and was hoping that CyanogenMod would fix the issue.  I flashed it to CM 10.2 but the same issue remains.  This makes me think it is a hardware issue and not a software issue, however it did not wipe my internal SD card - could there be settings in there that are causing this?

It seems to really love the ground, so I'm wondering if it has just been dropped one to many times and cracked some solder connections somewhere internally?

UDPATE

Installed the GetRIL tool and it said the stock RIL was unknown.

I installed the first RIL on there.  It said that it would backup the stock RIL.  The one I installed didn't work so I installed another one.  That didn't work either.  So I tried to restore the stock RIL but then I read in the FAQ it only restores the last one installed.

So it restored the broken RIL.  And now I have no network and can't figure out how to get the stock one back.  Yay.

Here's the stock details:

RIL: Unknown - 163ecafa01912637fe344ec1f8264d70
Baseband: I9100XXKE7

Anyone know how I can get the stock RIL back?

As an aside: the battery lasts sooooo long without the carrier network

UPDATE

Reflashed with CyanogenMod so I got my stock RIL back.  Still monitoring the network drops.

texts: 4.1.2 vs 4.4.4 - any improvements re general speed and app caching?

texts:
I am growing frustrated with the following behaviours of Android 4.1.2, which has been running my rooted Samsung S3 I9300 for two years now:

1) When switching between already-open apps, more often than not going back to an app that had some data loaded (e.g. address looked up in GoogleMaps, page loaded in Firefox etc) results in the app starting all over from its initial screen and thus losing the input I had given it just minutes ago
2) Generally very sluggish operation, although I am careful to limit the number of apps installed/running
3) When connecting to a new WiFi network for the first time, the phone restarts (this has only been happening for a few months)

Since I have no real reason to invest in a new phone (new features in S4,S5 and S6 don't seem that appealing), I was considering just doing an OS upgrade, and since Lollipop seems to not be rated well by users, KitKat 4.4.4 seems the likely candidate.
I am wondering whether anyone who has used my current version (4.1.2) can comment on whether any of the above behaviours are corrected in v4.4.4, in particular whether the general performance/speed is better in 4.4.4 (or other KitKat versions) as compared to 4.1.2 (or other Jellybean versions), and whether app caching actually works during multitasking.

texts: Memory requirement (for HDD) for Android based tablet?

texts:
Background: I'm currently considering buying a Acer Iconia A50x Tablet device that runs the Honeycomb OS. The device is available (or, well, not) in a variety of configurations (16GB / 32GB / 64 GB "HDD" and with/without 3G module). It seems the 3G version is only available with 16GB atm. and the non-3G version is available with 16 or 32GB atm.

Since I do not have experience with android devicesread: I've no clue whatsoever how much a "stock install" of android needs and how much space the apps take, and whether they can be installed on SDHC card etc. I have no clue how much memory for the "HDD" is a good choice for such a device: (apart from bigger is better)

My question now is wrt. the onboard "HDD" memory: Is 16GB enough or would it be better to try and get a 32GB version or wait for the 64GB version? (After all, I can just plug in a 64GB SDHC card for additional space.)

Wrt. to my expected usage: I plan to use this device to surf the web, read emails and maybe a PDF or two. I do not currently plan to play any specific games. My music collection on the PC is only 6GB, and I would only use a small part of this on the device. No films to speak of.

The phone is rooted and the SD Card has been partitioned before. I was trying to adjust the partition size using Apps2SD but it ended up formatting it. Is there any way I can recover the lost files? The files are mostly apps/games.

EDIT: Just to clarify, can the games/apps itself be recovered? Or at least their data? I need the game data as some of my games are single-player and it'll really suck to start all over again.

I'm trying to do a data recovery on a Samsung mini that was dropped in water (I think). The phone won't boot past splash screen and developer access isn't enabled. The best idea I've come up with so far is to do a hard resent and then try to some data recovery software on the phone after it's reset.
I just wanted to try and double-check before I did something stupid?
Many thanks,

texts: How to Bypass Certificate Errors in Google Chrome Android?

texts: Apparently desktop Chrome has a flag called --ignore-certificate-errors that allows you to bypass all certificate warnings. Is there an equivalent for Android Chrome? I checked in chrome://flags but nothing there.


texts:
Is there a generic ways how to stream any audio from my mobile or table to my WiFi DLNA/UPnP speakers? By any audio I mean any audio output from any application - YouTube, Audible, BeyondPod, any music player etc.

I figured out partial solution for BeyondPod, a podcast client, and BubbleUPnP, where BubbleUPnP streams to the speaker when it is set as "external" player for BeyondPod. It's a partial solution because it works only for applications with support for redirection to external player. YouTube or Audible has no option to use external player.

And it is not ideal solution either. For example playlists are tricky, both BubbleUPnP and BeyondPod have their own playlists and they don't play along well. BubbleUPnP is unfortunately not just just audio forwarder, it's full fledged media player and its own broad functionality in this scenario it gets in the way :(

Is there a proper audio forwarding (re-streaming, re-directing) solution, an app or a driver, which would take any audio output and forward it to my external speakers? My speakers support UPnP/DLNA, Airplay and Bluetooth.

texts: Huawei Ascend G7 Stuck in Fastboot & Recovery

texts:
A few days ago, I must have been pressing some buttons by accident and my phone entered fastboot & recovery. Restarting does nothing, it doesn't matter what combination of buttons I hold down. Every time, it starts up with the standard Huawei boot logo then a black screen comes up saying boot image verify failed and then it goes to another screen that says:

"FASTBOOT&RESCUE MODE

 Please Connect USB Cable to your Computer and Open Hisuite

PHONE locked"

I've tried connecting to Hisuite, but my PC doesn't register that my phone is connected. It does charge the phone, though, so not a problem with the cable/USB port. I suppose I didn't have USB debugging enabled? Can you enable it from PC?

My phone isn't rooted, by the way. Also, you can't remove the battery from this phone without messing around with hot air guns, etc.

I've tried letting the battery run dead and then charging it again and restarting the phone, but nothing different happens.

I don't know much about phones, really, any help would be appreciated!

texts: How can I modify the phone model in build.prop to get unsupported apps?

texts:
I currently have a rooted HTC Legend. In light of the current Android Market sales, I would love to be able to purchase some of the apps on sale without a compatible handset, since I plan to get a GNex in the next few weeks.

I've read that it may be possible to modify my build.prop file to a more modern handset, however beyond this suggestion, I can't find any more specific details, nor which phone model would be ideal for this. How can I do this?

I note that a number of people complain they've bricked after messing with build.prop. Is this a real danger or would it just require fixing the build.prop from adb, or reflashing the ROM?


texts: Is there a method to record video chat app (google duo, skype, tango, etc) straight to the phone?

texts:
I am trying to record all the video calls with my parents. However, every video chat app that I know does not support recording option. I have tried 3rd party screen recording apps but did not work. It seems the screen recording app clashes with video chat app for the microphone. So all I get is recorded video chat but with no sound or good recorded video chat but the person who I am calling cannot hear my voice.

I searched everywhere and even contacted google support but with no luck.

Would it be possible? or would I have to wait for video chat app to start supporting recording?

texts: No service on Blackview BV 5500 Pro with Lineage 17.1

texts:
The issue
I installed Lineage OS on my blackview BV 5500 Pro and am facing the "No Service" issue since. There does not seem to be any hardware issue and I've exhausted all the options I could think of.

Specifications

Image installed: lineage-17.1-20201012-UNOFFICIAL-treble_a64_bvS
Build number: treble_a64_bvS-userdebug 10 QQ3A.200805.001 eng.crossg.20201012.051017 test-keys
Carrier: Ultra mobile
Phone: Blackview BV 5500 Pro

What I've tried
Here's what I've tried:

Restarted the phone.
Activated the Airplane mode, waited, and de-activated it.
Set the values for data and MMS manually, using the carrier's recommendations.
Tried to select manually the carrier (more on that below).
Checked the sim card in a different phone -- it works.
Enabled the cellular data.
Allowed roaming.
Checked the phone with a different OS (it was working just fine before I flashed the OS).
Made sure my sim card was correctly inserted.
Called *#06# and checked that my sim had an IMEI / ESN (it does, I actually have two since this phone accepts two sims).
Tried the other sim slot.
Called *#*#4636#*#*  and checked the information about my phone:

It does have a IMEI and IMSI,
I can ran a ping test,
Radio band is set to automatic,
Selected GSM / WCDM, LTE only, and other various network types,

Re-installed Lineage.
Re-installed Lineage with GApps nano.

Possible issues?
Manually select the carrier
When I try to manually select a carrier, I'm faced with cryptic choices ("310830", "311490", "311480", …), and all of them returns an "impossible to connect to this network" error message.
Comparison
I have the same phone with the same carrier at home, but with the stock rom on it (Android 9, build BV5500Pro_E535_V1.0_20191105V6). If I check in *#*#4636#*#*, I can see that the Network Mode is set to LTE / UMTS auto (PRL). However, that choice is not available on my phone.
Baseband?
Between the stock rom  and Lineage OS, I've tried another rom (BV5500Pro_EEA_E535_V1.0_20190514V8) to test that I could flash my phone. Could that have messed with the baseband, or something else? My current baseband is E535_39_P0_LWTG_V0.1.4_S190402.

I am trying to get audio through my USB DAC on various tablets with OTG functionality and I don't know why it's not working!

First off. It works just find when I use the OTG adapter straight to the tablet, however, I want to power the devices separately to reduce the power draw on the tablet so I have instead created a Y cable which externally powers my DAC. The DAC has power, however, the tablet will not send power through the DAC in this configuration.

The cable itself is working great. I have tested it using my phone and the DAQ works perfectly on it, however, on 6 different tablets now I have had NO LUCK!

Any ideas as to why the tablets are not sending the audio over USB DAC when the USB DAC is externally powered?

The Cable has the red AND black wires snipped so there is no power coming from the tablet. I am wondering if the tablets need the black wire to be connected for some reason? My phone is USB-C while the tablets are all Micro USB.

Any help or thoughts are appreciated!

If yes, is there any alternative way to fix this issue and install the framework?

This is what I am currently running:

Verizon Motorola Droid 4
Android Version 4.1.2
System Version 98.72.189.XT894.Verizon.en.US
Last update Nov 21 2013

Prior to this Nov 21st update, I was able to set a custom ringtone, notification, and alarm on my phone. Custom meaning I can upload a sound file of my choice and have my phone play it.

After the update, I am still allowed to set a custom ringtone and notification, however I am prohibited from setting a custom alarm sound.

Is it possible to still choose my own alarm sound without rooting or installing an app?'

Note: Previous question/answers don't concern this update or suggest installing a third party app.

EDIT: To change alarms, I go to: Apps -> Clock -> Set Alarm -> Settings. When choosing an alarm sound, I am only allowed the default selection from the phone, whereas with ringtones and notifications (in System Settings -> Sound), I am able to select from my custom made sound files.

My Galaxy Nexus, Jelly Bean, was set to Automatic Date & Time, Automatic Time Zone, and the correct Time Zone was shown: "GMT -03:00, Brasilia Time". Here in Brazil Daylight Saving Time begins today. Android didn't detect that.

To be fair Microsoft for many years also made the DST start in the wrong week in its Windows products. If I recall correctly, it required a new law from our Government to make the DST more predictable, so in the last few years Windows got it right.

I don't know if Android will make the DST start in the wrong weekend or if it won't work at all. How can I correct it?


texts: Why is not all traffic captured from my device when routing through proxy?

texts:
I have followed the guide here: Configure Fiddler for Android / Google Nexus 7 in order to redirect outgoing traffic from my Android device to go through Fiddler acting as a proxy on my desktop machine on my local network.

While using the browser on my Android device I can see requests logged in Fiddler for the websites I am visiting, which verifies that I have set up the proxy correctly.

However, when using certain apps I can see no requests being logged, even though information in the app is being actively updated over the network.

I have ensured that mobile data is turned off.

The following question is related: Android apps not working with HTTP proxy
 but in their case the apps are not able to connect to the internet and are showing errors. In my case the app I am using is able to retrieve information over the network with no problems, but I cannot see the requests being made in Fiddler.

I want to be able to analyze the requests sent between an app on my phone which controls a wireless thermostat connected to my LAN via wifi.


texts: Why does an Android phone with Snapdragon 732G run slower than an Android phone with Snapdragon 678?

texts:
I am comparing the two phones:
Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC - Snapdragon 732G (8 nm) - Adreno 618 - Android 10, MIUI 12
Redmi Note 10 - Snapdragon 678 (11 nm) - Adreno 612 - Android 11, MIUI 12

For both of them, if I dual open Pokemon Go using MIUI's dual app, Redmi Note 10 has smooth graphics on both apps, while Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC is more like 15 frames per second: the graphics is quite lagging.
It was quite strange that I checked the specs of their CPU and GPU, only to find that Poco X3 is supposedly at least 50% faster than Redmi Note 10. The only difference is that Poco X3 is  Android 10, while Redmi Note 10 is Android 11.
What is the reason for such drastic difference: a slower CPU and GPU but faster? Is it just due to Android 10 vs 11?  It seems Poco X3 won't update Android officially but I have to rely on some 3rd party installation.


texts: Unable to flash stock ROM of Moto X dev edition

texts:
I have a Motorola X 2013 Dev edition unlocked (XT1053) that I'm trying to flash the stock firmware onto after using Cyanogenmod12. However, the process is failing. Following Motorola's instructions...

  After downloading the image for your device:

  Make sure you have a Moto Pure Edition or a Developer Edition device.
  Make sure you download the corresponding recovery image from the above
  portal. To flash, put the phone in fastboot mode:
  1. Power OFF your device
  2. Then Power ON + Volume Down Alternatively, you can reboot into fastboot mode if you have adb...adb reboot bootloader. Next flash the
  images using fastboot:
  $ fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
  $ fastboot
  flash motoboot motoboot.img
   $ fastboot reboot-bootloader
   $ fastboot flash logo logo.bin
  $ fastboot flash boot boot.img
   $ fastboot flash recovery recovery.img $ fastboot flash system system.img $ fastboot
  flash modem NON-HLOS.bin $ fastboot erase modemst1  $ fastboot erase
  modemst2  $ fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn $ fastboot reboot You also have
  the option to erase all the data on your device with $ fastboot erase
  userdata $ fastboot erase cache

I apologize for the horrible formatting there...

When I try to flash gpt.bin, the following error appears on my phone

downgraded security version
update gpt_main version failed
preflash validation failed for GPT

Now I've looked into this quite a bit and found that it is caused by motorola's own security protections. The only thing I can find to get around it is waiting for the new security patches. However, those threads I find are pre dropped support. Cyanogenmod is probably responsible for this since it is still getting security patches. Therefore, there never will be an updated stock to flash.

How do I get around this issue? I have a nandroid backup of the phone pre-cyanogen, but I'd rather just flash a clean stock than use the backup if possible.

Generally speaking, given a context e.g. playing a certain type of file, handling a type of link, etc. how can you ensure that a certain app will be included as an option in the list of apps that Android presents in efforts to address that context?

texts: Restore Android 6 on Moto G (2nd Gen) without adb?

texts:
After trying to root my Moto G (xt1068) and getting stuck in a boot loop, I tried to restore a functioning version of Android and I got stuck in the middle with a re-locked bootloader because I followed an instruction online that seemed to work for some people (...).
So, now the bootloader is locked, the device only boots into fastboot, and has no proper system image installed right now. I cannot access adb because I cannot re-activate USB debugging. Is there any way at all to get this one back to work or did I completely destroy it? I can look up the link to the advice I followed for 'restoring' my device, if that helps.
I am using a Mac but I have access to a Windows 7 PC if necessary. Any advice or help would be highly appreciated, thanks in advance!
EDIT 29.10.16:
I have found a German version of the Moto G (2014) Marshmallow stock ROM, but it still does not solve the problem. The version is

titan_retde-user 6.0 MPB24.65-34 31 release-keysMSM8626BP_1032.3116.99.00R

Upon trying to flash boot or recovery, the phone itself says "version downgraded for recovery" and the terminal gives me the following result:

target max-sparse-size: 256MB
sending 'recovery' (10280 KB)...
OKAY [  0.349s]
writing 'recovery'...
(bootloader) Preflash validation failed
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 0.772s

Does that mean that the version I tried was also not the current one? I was not aware that there was anything newer than Android 6.0 for the Moto G, but I will look for more possible ROMs to try. If you have any further advice, I would definitely appreciate it!
Older Update:
I had initially used TWRP in the unlocking/rooting process, and it used to work when I first got stuck in the boot loop. Now, I tried 'fastboot boot twrp.img', which did not work ' FAILED (remote failure)', and I tried flashing TWRP again by using ' fastboot flash recovery twrp.img' and I got the following response in terminal:
(bootloader) has-slot:recovery: not found
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (8092 KB)...
OKAY [  0.294s]
writing 'recovery'...
(bootloader) Battery Low!!
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 0.343s
This did not work, as pointed out below. I then tried the further suggestion to flash the bootloader and the gpt. I used the following commands:

fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img

Upon the last command, I got the following error message:

(bootloader) has-slot:boot: not found
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'boot' (10200 KB)...
OKAY [  0.342s]
writing 'boot'...
(bootloader) Preflash validation failed
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 0.781s

The device screen gave me this information:

getvar:has-slot-boot
getvar:partition-type:boot
getvar-max-download-size
download:009£6000
flash:boot
hab check failed for boot

Does any of that make sense? I am using the following version of the software:

I tried another version of the Android 6.0 stock image (I got this one through the xda link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/official-stock-firmware-t3018682) and I got the same result:

SW Version: titan_retbr_ds-user 6.0 MPB24.65-34 32 release-keysMSM8626BP_1032.3116.99.00R

I thought this was the most current version, isn't it? I had updated to Marshmallow when the update was available, and (if that is pertinent info) I have a German Moto G.

texts: Unable to view emails in folders other than inbox

texts:
I am using Hotmail app developed by "Microsoft + Seven" to read emails. I have many folders other than inbox to segregate my emails. There are rules set in web version of Hotmail, that moves the incoming emails to respective folders. These rules are working fine and I observe all my moved emails correctly in web version.

However, my Android client notifies me and displays only about the new emails in my Inbox. I had selected those other folders in the app to download email:

But still, I neither do not get any notifications on these folders nor any email when I open the folder in the client. When I open the folder I get "No messages" message in the screen, through there are messages. When I press "Check email" option in the context menu while I am viewing the folder, a toast message "Check email request sent" is displayed and goes off with no emails shown.

Though I am not worried about the notification about the new emails in the folders other than inbox, I do want to read them in the client. Presently. I am doing this by opening web version in a browser.

I have seen the following questions which are close but not to be considered as duplicate.

How can I sync all folders from an Exchange server (not just the
Inbox)? I am not using an exchange server. I am using Hotmail POP or IMap servers.
How can I get push notifications for emails in
sub-folders? This talks about Gmail and my Gmail client is working perfectly fine. But in Gmail, there are no folders only labels.
Can I get a notification when an email arrives in
a sub folder? I am not much worried about notification. But as said in @Zuul's explanation regarding Hotmail, all done; no fun.

I haven't tried other email apps including stock app in Android 2.3.3 LG V20G P500.

texts: How to access Night Light settings on Samsung

texts:
I just upgraded my Pixel 2 to a Samsung Fold 2. My Pixel was using Night Light and it was set to go on at 8pm and off at 6am. The Samsung Smart Switch app helpfully copied these settings over; however, Samsung doesn't use Night Light. Samsung has their own software called "Eye Comfort Shield" (disabled). So, now at 8pm, my phone simply goes dark. Completely black and unusable until 6am.
I can probably factory reset the Samsung and recopy from the old phone, but that seems excessive. Is there a way to add Night Light or just wipe those Night Light settings?

Is it possible to do this? How?

texts: Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Gray Horizontal Bars on Screen

texts: I recently purchased the Galaxy S& Edge, but as of yesterday I have been experiencing a strange problem with the screen. The screen is divided into sections, alternating between sections of normal color and brightness, and sections where the color and brightness seems darker. When I adjust the brightness of the screen to max, the dark areas get smaller and smaller until they completely go away at max brightness. The same goes for the normal areas at lowest brightness - they disappear. Obviously I don't want to keep my phone at max or min brightness all the time, so does anyone have any ideas how to fix this? I have tried restarting and clearing the system cache, and starting in safe mode, but to no avail.


texts: Can you actually determine the mAh of a battery?

texts:
You can skip the story part but for better reference, please read it:

A Little Story

My phone claims it has a battery of 4000 mAh that lasts for 3 days. I got the phone, really psyched because of the battery. When I bought it it has 50% left on the battery. I did some texts and some first time testing on the phone, but no heavy usage. The phone lasted 19 hours before saying it was now low on battery (5%).

The next day, I charged it for six hours, turned on the 3G and used the Facebook app, Opera Mini, and Google Play for four hours before I removed the 3G. The battery read 29%. I was disappointed. Most of the people who bought this phone reported that it should last 10 hours with 3G on and heavy usage. Most people even say that with heavy usage their phone lasts 2 days, using the internet, apps that require it, and gaming with the phone.

Now I'm on the process of claiming the warranty and I called some service centers to determine where I will take it to. The first service center claimed that all Android phones last for only one day, the second one claimed that even if only a Messaging app is on, if I leave it open even if my screen is off the battery will be drained quickly. The third one basically told me to go to the Play Store and download a Task Killer. The last one I called told me to bring the phone to the service center so they could "observe it". That doesn't sound good to me.

Question

My question is can technicians actually tell if the battery has the capacity it claims it has and if the battery is healthy? I want to go prepared to that service center if the observation they'll be doing will be to look at my "Battery" setting only and asking me what I've been doing only for them to say that's what been draining my battery.

Also can 3G drain a battery within 4 hours if a battery has 4000 mAh?

Note: My phone is a rebranded Innos D9, it's a Cloudfone Thrill 430x.


texts: How can I copy specific wifi networks from one Android device to another?

texts:
I have a rooted Android 7.1.1 phone with a large number of wireless networks configured; some of these are relatively complicated (EAP-TTLS, custom CA certificate, whatnot; the point is it's more involved than just a shared secret).
I would like to copy some of these networks to another phone, also rooted (running reasonably recent LineageOS, likely Android 9 or 10), without overwriting other wifi configuration that exists on the destination phone.
I know I could use something like Titanium Backup (which I bought) to do a full backup of all wifi networks from the source phone and restore it on the destination phone, but that doesn't meet the following two needs:

don't transfer all, just some saved wifi networks;
don't overwrite existing networks on target device (just add new networks).

I'm also not certain it would correctly transfer the certificate along with the network it pertains to.
I looked at How to copy wireless networks list from one android device to another?, but that also only addresses copying all networks, not cherry-picking.
I suppose I could merge the new networks into wpa_supplicant.conf, but is that safe to edit while Android is running? Won't changes be overwritten? (Update: it would, unless editing while in recovery mode; see How to modify wpa_supplicant.conf) (Also, I'd still need to find a way to transfer the CA certificates.)

texts: Need advice on problem using TeamViewer to remotely control a PC

texts:
I am running Windows 7 on my PC and the latest version of Android on my Samsung 7" Galaxy 4 Nook tablet.  I installed the newest versions of TeamViewer on both as I wanted to be able to control my PC remotely from the tablet.  Setup went easily and flawlessly and the connection does allow me to take full control of the PC. This is a dynamite app!

However, one annoying idiosyncrasy popped up.  As soon as the connection was initiated, TeamViewer caused the PC display to change resolution and size to match the landscape format of the Samsung screen.  Looks great on the Samsung but miserable on the PC's display.  Moreover, when I broke the connection, the PC display did not return to its former resolution or display shape.  I had to reboot to return to its original condition.

Any suggestions on how to keep the PC in its "normal" display mode during the remote connection, or at least how to immediately restore the format as soon as the connection is broken?

Thanks, Phil

texts:
When I press certain numbers on the dialer of my phone, names are brought up which don't make any sense. I've used T9 dialer, but I can't understand this. For example le, typing 77 brings up names starting with Ap, and Dr. Typing 34 brings up names starting with He, and Ad. I just wanted to know if there's any reason for this.

The OS is Jelly Bean 4.1.1

EDIT: As some of the answers point out that it may be a part of a number of one of the contacts. I've checked it before, it only happens after I type three numbers. And if it is a part of a number, that string is highlighted.

But when I type just two numbers, the names come up with their first two letters highlighted.

texts: Remove word from autocorrect - Six Android versions and three phones later

texts:
Okay, so I've seen this question asked before, but literally none of the solutions has ever worked for me, and I've now gone through three phones and six iterations of Android, multiply versions of the Google keyboard, and multiple keyboards and the issue just will not fix. I've seen this common question asked before:

  At some point, I mistyped the word "don't" as "Dont" and saved it as an autocorrect. Now everytime I type "don't" it autocorrects to "Dont", with a capital and no apostrophe.

The difference between that question and mine is that I've been trying to fix this for YEARS now. It started on the first version of the Motorola Droid back in 2010 or 2011. Using the stock keyboard, I mispelled "don't" and that mistake would haunt me forever. In 2012 I switched to the Galaxy Nexus. With the stock keyboard, the mistake stuck. I searched for a solution, and only found things like "uninstall keyboard" or "uninstall updates" or "clear cache and data" or "try a new keyboard." The only thing that worked was using a new keyboard, so I used Swype and SwiftKey for most of the Nexus's life. Upon release, I was eligible for an upgrade and rushed to the HTC One M8. The phone was superb... I loved everything about it. Except it's big-keyed keyboard... so I switched to the default Google Keyboard. And guess what was back? My awful "Dont" type. I considered moving to SwiftKey or Swype or any of the other available market keyboards, but the truth is I really like the stock keyboard. I tried reclearing caches, data, clearing out the Search history (like another thread suggested), long-pressing on the word, turning off voice input and long pressing, checked my personal dictionary. The issue persisted. I even side-loaded the beta Android L Google Keyboard, and it immediately reappeared. I totally uninstalled Google Keyboard, Google Voice Input, Google Text to Speech, and used CCleaner and The Cleaner to clear all of my caches and data, and when I reinstalled Google Keyboard, it persisted. I tried the same thing again and re-sideloaded the Android L Google Keyboard... same issue. Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich, Jellybean, and now KitKat and the issue has still persisted. Three different phones, three different manufacturers, three different UIs. The issue still persists.

Please, someone, help. :(

(Why, you may wonder, is it such a big deal? First, it's not fun to answer professional emails from my phone and constantly spell "don't" as "Dont." I'm a teacher, and this looks extremely stupid to parents who expect their kids are learning from the best.)


texts: What can be the reason for "internet may not be available" though the IP address was got

texts:
Only one device with Android (SM-G390F, Android 7.0, G390FXXU2ARA1, 3.18.14-12962328) at my home stopped connecting to Internet through my WiFi router with the message "internet may not be available" and an exclamation mark on the WiFi sign. (Whereas older non-updated Android devices, GNU/Linux and iOS devices work.)

If I examine the current network configuration with ip a in a Terminal in the device, it has got the correct IP address, but pinging the router (ping 192.162.1.1) looses all pings... (ip ro showed a route to this network, but no default route -- but that shouldn't have affected the pinging of the router anyway.)

The WiFi router is an ASUS one, and for this device, in the log, it prints several times (not more than 10; the repetition is only for this device):

udhcpd: sending OFFER of 192.168.1.8

and then:

udhcpd: sending ACK to 192.168.1.8

The DNS servers from the DHCP configuration seem to be working well (as tested from other connected devices).

Changing the advanced settings from DHCP to manual does not help. And it is quite strange that this device used to work with this WiFi router all the time before a couple of weeks ago... Nothing has been changed.

texts: Send files from Linux to Android via ssh

texts:
I want to send some specific files from my linux PC to my android device. I'd like to send it automatically using terminal commands, so there will be no drag and drop files.

I don't know what is the best communication way to send file via wifi. I understand how to send using ftp by downloading 'ftp server' app on my android, but that's not suitable to my work since it needs to open an internet browser on my PC and transfer like a file manager. So I tried using ssh:

scp /home/user/picture1.jpg u0_a167@192.168.1.117:/storage/emulated/0

but always ended up error:

texts: Where are the TEE's keys stored and under which conditions are they reset?

texts:
Context: full-disk encryption in Android 6.0, specifically key derivation and storage.

I have a device running Android 6.0 with full disk encryption. I need to make a backup of the device, wipe the device, use it in the wiped state for a little bit, then restore from the backup.

I am running a custom recovery (TWRP), but unfortunately it cannot make a nandroid backup of /data because I guess it is very confused by the fact that /data is encrypted.

I was going to make a backup by just running "dd if=/dev/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/image.img ..." in recovery in order to make a byte-level copy of the entire internal storage, with the intention of later restoring it by doing the same in reverse.

However, I am afraid that the hardware-bound key, which is stored in the TEE and used to encrypt the disk encryption key, is stored outside /dev/mmcblk0 and will be deleted when I perform a wipe. Thus, even though I'll succeed in restoring the image, Android will no longer be able to derive the same encryption key and thus will fail to decrypt my data.

Thus, my questions are:

is this correct?
if so, what are my options? if the key is actually wiped, I understand that it wouldn't make any sense for it to be possible to backup and restore it. However, perhaps there's a more roundabout way to wipe the device of my private information without deleting the TEE key?

texts: Are ROMs with deodexed programs faster or slower than odexed?

texts:
I am a bit confused by the effect of deodexing (or even by terminology).

Based on answers to "What is the difference between odexed and deodexed roms?":

  A "deodexed" ROM is one where the .odex files have been more or less merged back into the .apk

This one seems to imply that "deodexed" ROM is an odexed (thus precompiled/optimized) ROM where the .apk package contains the .odex stuff instead of it being in a separate file.

However, the same answer has a seemingly opposite quote:

  ROMs are typically released in deodexed form because they can be themed and modified fairly easily, whereas theming/modifying an odexed ROM is basically impossible (at best things would crash like crazy). Some people also choose to release their ROMs in odexed versions for people who would prefer the performance gains.

This second quote seems to imply that the deodexed ROM does NOT have the performance gains of the odexed ROM (based on the last sentence) - I am guessing because it completely removes the .odex info for the sake of portability/theming; whereas the first quote seems to say that deodexed ROM is just as optimized as odexed, but differently packaged.

Which one of these meanings is correct? What am I missing?

Example:

Fission Vanilla: "ROM has root and has been deodexed, and zip alligned"

texts:
I would like to be able to reduce the number of times my phone interrupts me while I am working, without significantly decreasing my responsiveness. I have a few ideas for how to do this, but I haven't found a way to actually implement any of them.

Only receive notifications every N minutes. For N=10, at 2:00 I would get a few notifications. Then at 2:10, I would get the next set of notifications.
When my phone receives a notification, check when the last notification was delivered. If it was less than N minutes prior, wait until N minutes has elapsed then deliver all the notifications received in that time. This is the ideal solution, in my mind.

One suggestion (mentioned at Delay notifications) handles silencing messages delivered at nearly the same time, but it doesn't alert the user about the second notification after the time has passed. It essentially just silences the phone for 1 minute after receiving a notification.

texts: Why does Google Play Store show installed apps in the "Previously installed apps" section?

texts:
When I go to the Previously installed apps section of Google Play Store, some apps that are currently installed on my phone are also shown. I thought that may be all of the currently installed apps shown were not updated, but that not the case for some of them.

Should it not be only apps that were removed or not installed that should appear?

I have checked the issue with phones using Android 6.0.1 & 8.1. As you can see on the image below, VLC is installed, yet it is listed on previously installed apps.


texts:
My Samsung Galaxy Tab A stuck at the logo screen.

All I could find on internet so far were advices to push power button together with  Volume up.
But it doesn't react for me.
Push and hold power button also doesn't react.
The only combination where I see a reaction is Power + Volume down after 7 seconds screen is black for a couple of seconds after that the logo screen just comes back and here we are again.

What could be the (any) next step?
