texts: Route the audio from one app to the left channel and that from another app to the right channel

texts:
I play a lot of live sound. I use one device for playing a metronome and another device for playing a backing track. I would love to use one device to play both.

Is there a way I can pan the audio from one app 100% to the left, and another app 100% to the right? I could then use a 1/8" stereo to 1/4" dual mono cable to run left and right as two separate instruments.

texts: How to stop split screen permanently from occuring

texts: Multi gestures on my infinix hot 4 minimises and goes to recent apps screen or launch split screen automatically. Even when I type very fast, it goes to recent apps.

texts: Is "Delete this message" functionality ignored in mobile Gmail?

texts:
I have messages threaded in both my PC's Gmail and mobile Gmail on-board my Moto G Plus / Android 6.0. Three or four days later I used "Delete this message" menu item in my PC's Gmail:

Yet, my mobile Gmail seems to be ignoring this fact. Up until now (four days and hundreds of mail refreshes later) I can still see two messages in my mobile Gmail and one (second deleted) in PC's Gmail.

My Inbox was refreshed many, many times since then. Either automatically or manually by me. I've received 100+ new emails since then, deleted or moved to some folders most of them and did a lot of other changes to Inbox.

Every of these changes, made on PC's Gmail, was perfectly replicated in my mobile Gmail. Every other factor or situation clearly confirms that Inbox (and other folders) in both of my devices are in perfect sync... with the exception to this single message.

Is this some kind of weird bug and "Delete this message" functionality should work in mobile Gmail as well? Or is it ignored and only full-thread deletes are replicated (i.e. I don't see "Delete this message" in mobile Gmail)?

texts: Galaxy S4 refuses to gain signal after being disconnected for a period of time

texts:
So, the scenario is this: I have a Verizon Galaxy S4 (SCH-I545, Android 5.0.1). One of my work sites is an amazingly effective dead zone. No signal whatsoever. If I enter the dead zone for a few minutes and leave, everything is fine. However, if I stay in the dead zone for 30+min or so (as is often the case), and then leave the dead zone, the phone will still display empty bars with a little "x" indicating no signal. It will stay like this indefinitely. I could turn on and off mobile data. I could turn on and off airplane mode. The only thing that fixes it is restarting the phone.

It's as if, once the phone realizes there's no signal coming its way, it will just refuse to even check for more every several minutes.

Is there a way to force such a check?

I don't necessarily need a full backup of the phone, don't know if that's useful. I just want all user data safe.

So is there something that I'm missing? If so, what folders should I backup as well?

CAREFUL: I am not asking where can I find Files that are stored with the OutputStream - but where the FOLDER of Application is located on the Computer, when the Device is connected to it as Media Storage.

texts:
I am trying to find the way to use my battery in the most efficient manner.

I found several suggestions how to achieve the longest life of the battery, and one of these suggestions is quite strange and mysterious. Check it out:

  Turn on your phone;
  Connect the charger and wait until the battery is full-charged (green indicator is on);
  Disconnect the charger;
  Wait until the green indicator is off and connect the charger back;
  When green indicator is on, turn off the phone.

  Now, continue with switched off phone.

  Disconnect the charger;
  Wait until the green indicator is off;
  Connect the charger, wait for green indicator and disconnect the charger again;
  Repeat the "3" step 10 times. This might take from 30 seconds to 30 minutes, usual that's about 1 minute.

  This procedure takes some time, but it proved to be worth the cost.

The original article is in another language (russian), so it would not be very useful to post it here, but, to be on the safe side, here's original article.

I am pretty unclear about chemical processes going in the battery, so I can't check out what exactly happened during this mysterious actions.

I did not try to do this with my phone because i'm not sure this isn't harmful for the battery. But at least one person confirmed that these actions helped him to enlarge battery life for at least one cycle.

So, the question is: why exactly the battery's lifecycle becomes enlared, and isn't it harmful to battery? Finally, is it good idea to do all this stuff?

texts: How to recover contacts from phone with broken & unresponsive screen?

texts:
I had a Samsung Galaxy Ace 4. Last week, it fell of and the screen broke. Still, when turned on, it seems to be everything else OK (the notificacion bar shows some pending messages, the hour keeps getting up to date, the USB symbol appears when connected to a PC), but below, all is bright white within the lines of the broken screen.

I got a new phone, as probably it'd be cheaper than waiting for the old one to be repaired, and once the SIM was inserted, I realized most contacts were stored on the device memory.
I've been looking for a (cheap) way to recover the missing contacts, but almost every found solution has any of the given problems:

USB debugging should be enabled, seems it wasn't before the incident.
Requires the use of some app running, which I can't achieve (say Kies or AndroidLost).
Contacts coud be synced with the Google account, but it wasn't setted up.

Is there any other way to access this information to create de 'back-up' on a PC and restore it on the new device (even through console management of the phone)?

I appreciate in advance any given help.

texts: Unexpected result when using trigonometric function on KitKat's calculator

texts:
I get unexpected results when using the trigonometric functions on my Android 4.4.2 phone.

For example, if I enter sin(30)= I get the result -0.9880316 when I expect the result 0.5. It appears the phone expects trigonometric numbers to be expressed in radians rather than degrees which is uncommon - the phone's manual certainly did not mention it. Most calculators work in degrees. Decent calculators have a deg/rad/grad switch.

Is there a way to do this on the phone or am I forced to include a degrees-to-radians conversion in all my trig calculations?


texts: Can I add a fingerprint without allowing it to unlock the phone?

texts:
Some of my more secure applications offer fingerprint unlocking. This would be convenient to use, and I don't foresee any security issues with someone using my fingerprint because I would have had to have unlocked the phone with a pattern for someone to gain access to the application.

On the other hand, if the phone can be unlocked with my fingerprint as well, someone could unlock it while I am incapacitated (e.g. sleeping) without my knowledge, and then unlock the high-security applications as well. Having a pattern is a great form of two-factor authentication IMO.

I added a fingerprint to my rooted phone which runs LineageOS 14.1, Android version 7.1.1 -- this automatically allowed unlocking the phone via fingerprint. I cannot find a setting to disable this without removing the fingerprint and being unable to use it in any of my apps. Is there any way I can forcefully disable fingerprint authentication on the lock screen, but retain access to fingerprint unlocking for various apps without using a custom lock screen?

Here are the options I have for the lock screen and fingerprints -- I do not see any way to disable fingerprint authentication without removing the fingerprint, from the settings at least:

I am unable to copy a certain file. At first I tried using a cloud share app, then USB file transfer, then ADB, then local file browsing apps, finally a terminal emulator. All fail. I can see the file and the app that created it can partially interact with it, but I cannot copy the file, permission denied. Phone is rooted. This is a large file created by TitaniumBackup. It's large because the backed up app has a lot of data, about 4 GB worth. I can copy all the small files that Titanium creates during its backup process, including the apk and properties files. And I can rename the big file, even delete it, just not copy. Even Titanium itself can delete and restore backups but not upload to the cloud using the built-in function to Sync to Google Drive. I am thoroughly confused.
I don't think it matters but this is a rooted Pixel 5 with stock ROM.

I have a subscription to Google Play Music and spend alot of time without an internet connection so I download alot of music.

I took a look at the storage and GPM is using practically all the internal storage. I guess apps can't install it you don't have internal storage free? I'm also confused because the SD card shows different amounts used in different menus. I need to either get GPM to store on the SD card like it should or get apps to install anyway.

texts: Trigger "mount as disk drive" (aka "USB Mass Storage" mode) from PC

texts:
I've got an HTC Incredible that I sync to my Linux box.  I'd like the Linux box to automatically detect that the phone is attached (I can do that via adb wait-for-device), and then automatically put the device in "disk drive mode" (I've no idea how to do this part), and then mount the phone as storage, and run my sync script (I've got this covered), and then unmount the phone and return it to "charge only" mode.

I can manually put the device in "disk drive mode" by pulling down the shade and changing the "USB connection type", but I'm not sure how to trigger this remotely from the PC.  Ideally, some adb command would be great, but I'm open to installing an app, or other hacks (the Linux box can usually reach the phone via WiFi ...)

"Disk drive mode" is also known as "USB Mass Storage" (UMS) mode.

In newer (ICS and later), UMS support is being deprecated for MTP (slightly different USB-based transfer protocol).

After rebooting to "fastboot" the device's USB id is exactly the same as in normal boot. That's suspicious because I read in some forums that it might be different after fastboot boot (I checked if I have to adjust udev rules).

fastboot devices

texts: Make the phone always-listening to "OK Google" with fingerprint sensor on Nexus 5X

texts:
I have a Nexus 5X running Android 6 Marshmallow, and I want "OK Google" trained to my voice to work when the device is on but the screen is off. I also use fingerprint scanner for "smart lock"/screen lock. When I say "OK Google", the device requests a fingerprint or PIN before it will do the action requested. This renders the feature pretty useless as it's mostly a hands-free tool. (Note: "OK Google" works perfectly with no screen lock activated.)

Given that OK Google is trained to my voice only and that it is a hands-free feature, I find it strange that I can't use it that way when using the fingerprint scanner or other screen lock feature. Is there a way to do it?

I'm happy to have no screen lock but just have the fingerprint scanner turn the screen on instead, if that's possible - I find it useful when taking the device out of my pocket.

I just upgraded my Galaxy Note (1st gen) from ICS 4.0.x to JS 4.1.2. I'm using the Samsung ROM supplied by my carrier (with all the bloat in it).
After the upgrade, I noticed many of my apps were missing (the ones installed on the SD card), as well as my photos/videos and personal files (previously stored in sdcard/external_sd/DCIM/...).

So I checked various parameters, and using a file explorer, I found out that all the sdcard/ contents moved to storage/sdcard0, and the sdcard/external_sd moved to storage/extSdCard. I found my personal files, and my photos/videos, but the apps previously installed on the sdcard are no longer installed. Also, the gallery app doesn't detects the photos taken before the upgrade.

Can someone enlighten me about why my SD Card apps are missing/uninstalled?

I did a complete factory restore.  Nothing got resolved (The USB debugging option got disabled during this :( )
I again tried to go to recovery mode. Suddenly TWRP started asking password for decryption. I don't remember enabling encryption and setting a password. I don't even have a screen lock. I trided "default_password" which didn't help.

I press cancel , which redirected to this screen

I selected install option and went to this screen. There was nothing displayed

I pressed back and selected ADB sideload and selected clean cache, which also failed with these messages

I pressed back again and selected mount option and tried to mount system and firmware which again landed in password screen

ADB and fastboot were not able to identify the device when I connected to PC through USB. I can see this message poping up on Windows

Please suggest a solution for this


texts: Why won't my Galaxy Tab 2 connect with WiFi or USB?

texts:
Whenever I try to connect to WiFi or my PC with USB, it always just says "connecting..." indefinitely.  It detects my WiFi signal, kies detects the tablet, but neither one has managed to actually complete a connection.

I've tried re-installing kies, manually adding my network, factory resetting the Tab, and running the kies connecting troubleshooter.  None of those have worked. I'm starting to think I should just return it and buy a laptop.


texts: Can't see most notifications on my phone until I unlock it. (Android 4.1.2)

texts:
My phone's an LG-E460. Sometimes, when I lock my phone, I stop getting most chat notifications (Whatsapp, Telegram, Google Hangouts...)

Happens specially often with Whatsapp, though. I'm talking to someone and if they take a long time to answer I lock my phone and keep doing my thing. No notifications. After a while, I check on them and BAM! 20 unread messages from ten minutes ago. When using Web Whatsapp I have to keep constantly unlocking my phone so it doesn't desync ("Connection with phone has been lost" pops up constantly).

This has been driving me insane. I've started to check on my phone even if I have no notifications just in case. What should I try?

So I just got my galaxy S8, and whenever i'm listening to a voice note it outputs through bottom (loud) the speaker. However, if I bring my phone close to my ear so only I can listen to the voice note through the stop speaker, it still plays on the bottom speaker.

My previous phone had this feature, so every time there was sound playing through the bottom speaker and I brought the phone next to my ear, the output of the sound changed. Does the galaxy s8 has this feature? I've tried to look for it everywhere but I haven't found anything yet.

texts: Android 6.0 Marshmallow adoptable storage - Why is it still using internal storage?

texts:
I have a 32GB MicroSD card adopted as internal storage on my Moto X Play (XT1563), and I've noticed that some apps don't completely move over to External Storage (specifically .obb files), despite what this new feature in Marshmallow is supposed to do:

  When external storage media is adopted, it’s formatted and encrypted to only work with a single Android device at a time. Because the media is strongly tied to the Android device that adopted it, it can safely store both apps and private data for all users.
  from: https://source.android.com/devices/storage/adoptable.html

Motorola's website is more specific:

  Once a card has been formatted as internal storage,  both your device internal storage and the card will show up as “device storage” under storage settings, and you will be able to  move applications which were in internal storage to the card. Moving an application, its media files, obb files, and data to the card. Moving applications to the card can be done from application settings (settings->apps->select application->change storage location)
  from: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_answer_detail/a_id/109134/p/1449,9582

For example, I've moved Mortal Kombat X (~1.3GB) to the SD card and the majority of its data is in an .obb file sitting in internal storage in /data.

This doesn't make sense because in an app's AndroidManifest.xml the developer must specify the android:installLocation manifest attribute in order for an app to even be allowed to move to an external SD card. But in this case, it wouldn't matter since the SD card is seen by Android as if it were internal storage so it shouldn't have any issues installing there.

Why is my internal storage still being used?

I have an unrooted Verizon Galaxy Nexus, just recently upgraded to Jelly Bean.

One of the touted features of Jelly Bean was the addition of the "Restart in safe mode" option from the power menu. (Long-press power button.)

However, no such option is available. In fact, it's the exact same options I saw under Android 4.0.4 (Power off; Airplane mode; silent; vibrate-only; sound on).

Is there a setting I missed? Or is this really a hardware option for the Nexus 7?

texts:
I am experiencing a similar problem as described there: Whenever I connect my HTC One to my Windows 8.1, it is recognized as a CD Drive.
So I tried the solution proposed by Macha's answer, but I cannot perform the step "Select Standard USB main controller" as I get only CD-Drives proposed int he selection no matter what.

Does anyone here have a hint how to solve the issue?

I tried to deactivate/activate USB Debugging without any success, but noticed, that whatever I select, the MTP still keeps running (at least my HTC says so). Furthermore I realized that in the device manager I see the "HTC Android Phone USB Device" in DVD/CD-ROM drives section and "MTP" in "Other Devices". Tried to update the drivers - either cannot find any appropriate drivers or does not change anything. Tried to disable MTP -> phone is not anymore connected as CD, but cannot see it in Explorer at all anymore.

Though, I cannot find any options to disable MTP. With my previous laptop (Windows 7) everything worked properly.

Does anyone have an idea how to solve the problem and again be able to see the phone as a storage device, access it, and to synchronize/exchange data with the PC back and forth?

Thank you so much in advance!

texts: Comixology comic store to SD card, not internal storage

texts:
Comixology insists on storing its downloaded comics on the internal storage.  This is clearly rather annoying since it is tiny compared to gigantic external SD card that is installed. The OS version is Android 4.2 Jelly Bean.

Using ES file manager, I can see where the comics are downloaded just fine.  I could move them but that will not help as the main application would have no idea where the directory went.

Does anyone know of a way to move the existing data to the SD card and have the Comixology application use the SD card?

I can still download from the Play Store, update apps or install new ones but anything I try and download through any browser fails regardless of file type. If I browse to the download folder in root browser I can't create a new folder, operation failed. I can create new folders in the sdcard just not in download folder of sdcard. I'm assuming a mount problem of some sort?

texts: Internal storage space running low after rooting and deleting unwanted apps

texts: I am currently using a Samsung Galaxy GT-I8190 (S3 Mini) running Android 4.1.2 and I rooted my phone in order to get more internal memory to my disposal. It worked, but only for a little while. Then the memory started getting full and pops up a "warning" to say that the storage space is running low. I have an app installed by the name of "Clean Master" and I frequently clean the "junk" files on and clean it at the advanced side too. I also do a memory boost, but nothing helps to clear out memory space. I also cleared out my clipboard of everything I had copied and I unrooted my phone to see if it would help, but the memory just got fuller again so then I rooted my phone once again to take away the unwanted apps. I also have a 4GB external memory card in my device and I've moved all the apps (part of them that could move) to the memory card, but no positive results to my liking as yet. What can I do to clear up the memory? Because I can't even update my current apps because of the lack of space. Please help! Thanks


texts: How do I remove Trojan horse virus from my android smartphone?

texts:
There is a virus in my android phone named com.wgjvp.idck and I tried every possible solution to remove it but couldn't find any solution.
What I did:

I hard-reset(factory-reset) my phone twice but this virus suddenly comes out.
Installed Security-Master but that also unable to resolve this
problem

This virus creates a pop-up over ads due to which I am unable to perform anything.
Even after successfully uninstalling this app when I lock it and open it, this virus is present already.

Two things takes place:

After `uninstalling' this app, it automatically gets installed.
And
USB-Debugging gets checked every time automatically.

This virus also switches-off the phone at certain interval. In setting inside apps virus name displayed as com.wgjvp.idck though on home screen the name is Nolcans.

I think possible solution could be disabling the developer option permanently or doing something due to which it should not be easily gets checked. and second is to block a particular app from installing in my phone with particular bundle-id or app-id like com.abc.xyz but I don't know how to do that.

So what should I do to completely remove this Trojan horse virus from my phone? Thanks!

I have a Redmi 2 Pro, and it works fine, except for some issues with the battery. If I charge it to 100% before I disconnect the charger and go to sleep, by the morning it may go down only to 98%, but if I leave it on around 70% for the night it can even shut down by the time i wake up. In every case I use CleanMaster to shut unnecessary apps down before I go to bed. The possible shutdown makes it completely unreliable when it comes to morning alarms.

One solution may be to leave it on charger for the whole night, but i heard  about it being damaging to the battery. Is it? What can i do?


texts: Wikipedia app or Gmail doubles Wiki image sizes when sharing them

texts:
I am sharing a lot of images and articles from mobile Wikipedia app to my Gmail account. Today I noticed that either app itself or Gmail is doubling image sizes during this course of action.
For example, I stumbled across this image.

Corresponding Wikipedia page says:

500 × 373 pixels. No higher resolution available

I shared it to my email address the usual way (using three dot > Share) and when received shared email in my Gmail it turned out that the image has 1280 x 955 pixel dimensions. So it is two and a half times bigger than the original one.

As you can see above, the image itself is very blurred and artificially oversized. So, it is not Wikipedia hiding some actually bigger image resolution. It is either Wikipedia app or Gmail doubling image during share process.
Is this some weird feature that I don't understand? Or is this a bug introduced in Wikipedia mobile app?

  Can I use the Google Market without syncing other Google data?

Hello,

I'd like to setup a personal calendar with Funambol's syncing application. My goal is to never let my calendar items go on Google servers, for privacy reasons. But I do have Google Calendar application (from a stock ROM, so not easily uninstallable).

From what I understand, Funambol Sync Client synchronizes with a system-wide calendar, the same which is used by Google Calendar client. Will this make my items sync with remote Google Calendar if I launch Google's client (f.e. by mistake)?

I still want to use Google account for Market--and only for it. How can I enforce a no-synchronization rule only for calendar items?

I think I could remove /system/app/Calendar.apk (my phone is rooted), but doesn't Google services synchronize using GTalkService?

I was using my LG P500 perfectly fine on the internet when all of a sudden a messaged flashed up on the screen internet disconnected.

So I went into settings to my wireless & network settings and turned off my WiFi, then turned it on again then went into WiFi settings. When I went into here there were no known networks showing up and the scanning wheel was just going round and round.  So I thought since I know the pass word, I will just add a new network. Then after this on the screen popped up another message saying unable to scan for networks.

Then my WiFi turned off on my phone. So I rebooted my phone and again this is still happening. It is not just at my house but everywhere I go I cannot connect to networks. :(

texts: Android tablet not connecting to Wi-Fi while previously did

texts:
I have three devices:

Tablet running Android 2.2; (WPAD)
Tablet running Android ICS; (Samsung Tab 2)
A laptop. (Dell Studio 1558)
Wirelss Router: WRT120N (Linksys)

Wireless Router access is protected with WPA/WPA2 PSK. I can confirm that password given is correct.

My laptop (3) and Android ICS tablet (2), both connect fine to the wireless router.

But my other tablet (1) doesn't connect, it keeps "Scanning" and then disconnects. This tablet used to connect to router earlier, but now it does not. I have also observed that after a few seconds the wirless network is shown as "Not in Range, secured with WPA/WPA2 PSK" and then comes back with message "Remembered, secured with WPA/WPA2 PSK". So I am also not sure whether it is the problem with the tab!

Android ICS (2) is my new Samsung tab 2 tablet, so I have no idea whether this is caused due to new connection or not? To ascertain this, I have tried connecting only the first tablet (1), but still not working :(

The wireless router is connected to ADSL router provided by service provider. The ADSL router settings are password protected, i.e I cannot view ADSL router settings through web browswer.

Any thoughts on what could be causing the tablet to be losing the connection?

I want to buy an Android phone.

However, with everything that is happenning in the IT world today (all the backdoors, "Carrier IQ" stuff and so on), I am more and more convinced I want a trully open OS - that means, without proprietary applications, without proprietary drivers/"binary blobs" - or, at least, with at least of this as possible. (Stallman-style!)

I know that one fully open phone is OpenMoko phone, but that's not an Android and it has very outdated hardware. Is there another possibility?

texts:
I have Samsung Spica I5700 that have capacitive touchscreen, and I used a touchscreen protector.

Recently, I've noticed that the touchscreen often produces erratic movements, for example, if I put my still finger on the screen, the "cursor" will shake vigorously (sometimes very far off).

This makes the touchscreen very unusable; countless of times I've accidentally flinged the page when scrolling, while touching the screen for small scrolling; countless of times, the screen registered scrolling as a zooming or unzooming; and worse, it often flings to the wrong direction from my swiping direction (indicating a random erratic sensing). Sometimes, when I tried to touch a button/link on the top-left, the screen will detect a click in some other far away button (i.e. one not under my finger). Any games that uses touch intensively also becomes unplayable.

Could this be caused by the screen protector? Since capacitive touchscreen is operated by soft surface of a finger (instead of a pointy stylus), is there any noticeable benefit of using screen protector? or are they just a waste of time and money? do you think peeling off the protector will have a chance of fixing those problems?

texts: YouTube update enforcement bypass? +Reasons why the old YouTube app is superior

texts:
The time bomb of YouTube's legacy versions has exploded:The “later” button to postpone the update has disappeared. YouTube is copying WhatsApp's update mesh.

I really wish to keep using a legacy version of YouTube's Android application, but now, YouTube has pulled the plugs by hiding the “update later” button.

Why have they disabled it in first place?

The application would probably still work technically.

Advantages of YouTube's legacy versions:

Unlimited search history.
Exiting search does not require to reload the results of the previous search or viewed channel/playlist/feed/etc., which saves time and occasionally mobile data.
I still had search terms from 2015 because I never updated. Search history with capitalization saved.
Profile pictures with the shape of a square. Superior field of view.
Less minimalism, more border lines. (I personally dislike
minimalism.)

Free from material design. (I do not hate material design,
but the rounded corners look loose. Windows 10's flat design is OK
becaubecause it looks still very angular. Although, I like the ripple
animation of mterial design.).

Full numbers instead of rounded numbers (YouTube calls them “abbreviated numbers”. Toxic minimalism) for ratings, view counts and suscriber counts. Rounded numbers are too shallow. (“2M” looks shallow, while e.g. the number “2.021.435” looks vibrant and ultimately sexier than a digit with one letter behind it. Additionally, “2B” can be confused with 28 on the first sight, while a a long number such as 2.039.721.486 looks truly unmistakenably immersive.).
Ability to pre-open videos from loaded search results before Internet connection has been established, so that I do not need to open it when the connection has established.
Ability to pre-open search pages too. Pre-opening searches saves the search query into the search history, so that I do not forget searching it the next time I open YouTube's app. Like a tiny sticky note.

How do I keep using the legacy versions of YouTube?

I know MixerBox, but MixerBox has no search history and multi/pop-up window support.


texts: Phone not booting after flashing Hyperion 9

texts:
I followed the steps on this link to install Hyperion 9 on my old Samsung Galaxy Y. After completing the installation and rebooting, the phone is stuck at the Samsung logo start screen. I have tried redoing the whole installation a few times, just in case, but only to get the same result. I waited for around twenty minutes at the Samsung logo each time. I previously tried two other ROMs which do take time on the first boot, but the wait (~3 minutes) is after the Samsung logo screen, i.e., at the ROM's own logo screen, and everything was fine after that.

I had installed something with "EXT4" for one of the earlier ROMs. I'm not sure if this might be preventing Hyperion from starting.

What could I do?


texts: Why does my unplugged Nexus 5 keep shutting down after any app usage?

texts:
I bought a Nexus 5 a year ago and it has been running fine. After the Lollipop update, my phone has started crashing. Even though the phone has enough battery, if I run any app for like 5 minutes (it happens for any app, no particular app I could isolate), the phone just crashes to a black screen. When I start it again, the battery has suddenly gone to zero from its initial healthy number (e.g. 40%) and the phone shuts down again (sometimes even at the loading stage after the "Google" display on starting). But if I charge my phone even for a second after it crashes and then restart it, then the battery shows up as 40% (or whatever it was pre-crash) again. But then the phone crashes again after I use it. If I don't run any apps, then the phone does not crash.

Does anyone know the solution to this problem? Please help because now I can't use my phone even for 5 minutes without giving it a charger jumpstart!

Note: The phone never crashes when it is plugged to a charger no matter how many apps I use. It only crashes if it's unplugged.

texts: How can I update my HTC Desire when the OTA update is missing?

texts:
I have an HTC desire and have Orange as a provider in the UK. The software information displays my firmware version as being "2.1-update1".

I discovered that my phone is not up to date, because after hours of searching I discovered that the reason I cannot find the google app 'phone to chrome' is because the version is not recent enough. There are no updates pending as I have the system software updates check box for schedules updates checked. On checking for updates a message states that there are no updates available for my phone. Is the reason that other users are able to update because they have different devices and service providers? From looking around for update news, my phone should be updating.

From various webpages (example) it is said that this update can be done manually by using HTC sync; is this safe? Are there risks from not getting the update automatically? Or are you only bypassing the service provider in this way and not much harm can be done? A warning that this removes all previous saved data is given, but this will not equate to rooting and voiding any warranties though?

  requested account (Google account). This might be in a dialog that
  appears over the app, or in a notification.

However, upon installing something, e.g. Facebook (which adds facebook account as I understand) and starting to use it, I don't remember some system message asking me to grant access to facebook account to facebook app.
Facebook app can post on facebook w/out using facebook account?


texts: Cannot receive group messages from iPhone users

texts:
I switched from an iPhone, of which I was a fanatic, to the Samsung Galaxy S3. I can receive individual messages from iPhone users, but I cannot receive any group messages. I have downloaded many apps to try and fix the issue such as Handcent and GoSMS. I have re-enabled and disabled iMessage. Unregistered the iPhone(s) from my Apple ID and it doesn't seem to work.

AT&T has tried to help but because they don't get this too often they couldn't help me. I have called Apple but they want me to pay $29 for any type of support. How can I receive group messages on my Galaxy S3? I'd hate to have to go back over this issue.

texts: Youtube videos open in browser by default

texts:
When I'm browsing the net using the Internet app (the default browser), youtube links open up in the browser and not in the youtube app. I don't get to choose any option like before. In Applications Manager > Internet there are no defaults set. I tried clearing cache & data for Internet & Youtube app but I still have this problem. Same thing with Facebook youtube links, they open in the browser, no option to have it opened in youtube...it's driving me crazy

I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S3 with Jelly Bean.

Turns out this problem is also on the HTC EVO (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688866), something to do with an Apple lawsuit. If I remember correctly, I didn't have this problem when I had Ice Cream Sandwich on.

Also, if I long press a YT link in the browser, no option shows up to open it in the app? What gives?


texts: What's the point of Airdroid's "Find phone" feature if phone is not on the same network

I started using Airdroid today and was perplexed by how its "Find phone" feature works. As far as I can tell, my web Airdroid and my phone Airdroid are connected only when they are in the same local network.

texts:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 running Android 5.0.1. I don't know the last time I tried accessing the phone with my computer but it worked using MTP.

Now I struggle enabling MTP. The phone prompt (asking for MTP/PTP) won't appear. I double checked it with another PC so the USB port doesn't seem to be the problem.

I followed this little answer but I don't have the three dots (aka context menu) on storage settings.

My PC is running Linux. But I don't think this is the problem as the phone prompt does not appear and the device is not even recognized (no /dev/-entry). But to be sure I additionally installed mtpfs and mtp-tools just to be sure. But it didn't help.

Oh. I'm using encrypted device with encrypted SD card. Does this disable MTP at all?


texts: How can I run WhatsApp so that I am always online?

How can I set WhatsApp to always run in the background? Like Skype, when I exit, it keeps me online to get calls or SMS or chat notifications.

While using WhatsApp, when I move away with the menu, it exits. How can I avoid this and tell Android that this application should always be running - so that even if it is closed it will restart the application automatically?

texts: Complete action to open a file using different application "always"

texts:
I'm running a Galaxy Note 3 with stock Android Lollipop. I'm aware how it has worked for years with Android when one can choose an application for a certain type of action or file type, and also choosing to just use it this once it always. And if choosing as always this can then be reverted by clearing the defaults of that app. However the case as in the following image is new to me.
In this case I'd like to use the native "create contact" always. How would I do that?

As you can see I can't choose it together with always.


texts: Duplicate Notifications for Multiple Apps

texts:
For some reason I have been receiving duplicate notifications for many apps that offer push notifications (Amazon, Xbox)

How can I find out the cause of this issue?

Here is an example of the problem


texts: How do I allow countdown timer alarm to go off while phone is in vibrate?

texts:
I upgraded from Galaxy Mega to Galaxy S6 Edge +.

There is no menu button. In Galaxy Mega, part of the menu contains changing the settings of the countdown timer alarm.

One setting I had was that I could set my phone to vibrate while the countdown timer alarm rings when the countdown finishes.

So texts and notifications from apps make my phone only vibrate, but my countdown timer rings.

In Galaxy S6 Edge +, it seems like my phone vibrates iff my countdown timer alarm vibrates.

How can I allow the countdown timer to ring while my phone is set to vibrate mode?

Galaxy mega has option in timer to change volume. The timer indeed goes off even when the phone is in vibrate. This does not seem to be allowed in s6e+

 Click on picture for larger version

Bounty note: I think there's something in sounds and notifications, but I can't seem to find it.

texts:
I picked up a second-hand Motorola Moto G (2nd gen) device. The model is technically XT1064 (Titan).

On my Windows machine, I'm sometimes able to see an error message when I power down the phone stating that the USB device was unrecognized (Device Descriptor Request Failed).

After days of trying, I've yet to have it show up in adb. But it works just fine if I boot into the bootloader and run fastboot commands!

I've tried all of the "easy" things people recommend:

enabling USB debugging under Developer Options
different USB cables (although since fastboot works fine, that implies the cable is also fine)
different computers (tried a Mac, a Windows 10 machine, and a Windows Vista laptop)
adb kill-server followed by adb devices
various adb versions (Android SDK platform tools and Universal ADB driver)
manually uninstalling Windows drivers
force installing drivers (doesn't work, since the device doesn't make it past the device descriptor request so Windows won't allow drivers to be installed)
installing the Universal ADB driver
re-flashing the device (tried stock Marshmallow, stock KitKat, and Lineage OS)

I'm frustrated by the process because fastboot works just fine. That's how I've flashed the separate ROMs on there.

If this were a hardware issue with USB, why would it be that fastboot operates correctly but adb does not?

Also, if it's a hardware issue, what physical part would be the problem? It seems unlikely to be the USB port itself (again, because fastboot works just fine). Is there some kind of USB controller in the phone that could be the issue? Since the device is pretty useless to me unless adb works, I'd entertain the idea of trying to solder in a new part to fix the problem if I could!

Basically which repo does the Android GUI go by?

texts: LineageOS encryption not working dispite being told it is

texts:
I used to use cyanogenmod 13 on my nexus 5, i had the encryption enabled and it would ask me for my passcode at boot and i could not access any data from anything until i did this.

I've now updated to latest version of liniageOS and  recently noticed i am not having to enter this passcode at all, and that while the UI in the setting says i am encrypted, this is false information as i can access any data on my device either from recovery or from adb via usb.
I try to tap on the area where it says encrypted so i can re-encrypt it and it just does nothing.

I have herd about the massive bug/back door google have caused relating to accessibility features, however under accessibility i have the accessibility services for lastpass and comodo etc turned OFF, the only option on this page enabled is screen auto-rotate.

How can i encrypt my phone with this ROM, or can i not and i should ditch it ASAP and get a more security centric one? If so what would be recommended?


texts: Can Easter Egg prove phone has Stock Android 10 ROM?

(I didnt realize my laptop was affected & continued to plug every new devices in to transfer pictures, etc. Helping to hack each new device I purchased apparently) Now this new phone has never been plugged in that laptop, yet I was having all of the same problems plus I recieved a red box in Google Play help: "Custom ROM not Play Protect certified" I attempted to do a hard reset with Power & Volume when I got: something about a partition. It also said there was no space available. Also Permission Denied. User: Jenkins.
I am not a tech person. Just a regular phone user. Period.
Someone on Quora barked at me that I was paranoid, and simply check if theirs an Easter Egg, which will prove there is no Custom ROM.
The phone did open the Easter Egg per the directions I found on YouTube. Created a Q. Opened. Then allowed square blocks to be tapped on and off.
Is this in fact all it takes to prove there is no Custom ROM? Or does the Easter Egg need to accomplish something more?
Please, I dont know a whole lot about operating systems or EASTER EGGS other than coloring them!
Any suggestions on how a regular persin can check and then restore the Stock if need be?

texts: Any way to disable notifications' sound when screen is on? On Stock Android

texts:
Is there any reasonable way to disable all android notification sounds (only) when your screen is on, but keeping them working when screen is off?

By 'stock' I mean a Pixel (3) device.

Rationale: If my screen is on, it means I'm actually actively looking at it. I turned it on, and if I'm not looking at it anymore, I'd lock (turn off) it again, or the auto turn-off timer will do that for me, preferably in the shortest amount of time possible, saving battery.

The nature of notifications, as the name imply is to notify. If I'm looking at the screen, I don't need an annoying audio cue as well to notify me of anything: I will see the visual cue.

I've already been notified.

The default behaviour seems rather dumb and unthoughtful to me, and it's beyond me why they wouldn't give such an alternative option.

I've encountered this option on a custom ROM I've used on my OnePlus 3T before, and it was a blessing.

As such, is there a way to fix this (IMHO, terrible design flaw)?

texts: Trying to perform ADB Backup but it prompts for a password

texts:
I am trying to perform an ADB backup but I got stuck at the step where the phone receives the request of backup from the computer (the command I used on ADB was
 adb backup -apk -shared -all -f F:\Android backup.ab).

It is asking for a password as in the pic below (sorry my phone is in Chinese, I will translate the dialogue below):

'The system has received a request to backup all data to the computer; do you allow this action?

If you did not request to do so, please do not allow this action.

Your phone has been encrypted, therefore you must encrypt your backup. Please enter password below:'

I actually forgot that I ever encrypted my phone; and I certainly don't remember having set a password for the encryption (I use the unlocking pattern in daily operations). So I thought this is to set a password for the backup action.

But as you can see, I typed some words in, but the 'Backup your data' at the bottom right button just wouldn't respond no matter how many times I pressed it. (I pressed the 'Do not backup' button next to it and it quit instantly, so I am sure the screen is reacting to my touch alright)

Would anyone mind lending a hand please? Thank you so much!

If not, does that just mean the kernel always enforces whatever policy is loaded (so no policy means nothing to enforce)?

Anything else I could try before wiping all user data?

texts: Why does my Android device generate more heat on an AC charger?

texts:
My Huawei IDEOS u8150 is new and ever since I used the AC charger that was supplied with it, my device gets a bit hotter (a noticable 5 degrees Celsius extra compared to charging via USB from laptop).

Why is it not that hot when I try to charge it through PC/laptop?

I hear a whirring noise from the AC charger always and the adapter gets a little warm too.

Also, my device charges faster on the AC charger compared to the laptop charge method. Is this normal on all devices in general? Or all Huawei devices? Or is this something faulty I should worry about?


texts: Multiple layouts with SwiftKey and physical keyboard?

texts:
I use SwiftKey with external Bluetooth and OTG keyboards. SwiftKey is designed for this.

However, SwiftKey only gives me the English keyboard layout. When using the soft keyboard, my layout is Norwegian, and I alternate between typing in Norwegian and English. Norwegian layout is important to me as it contains special characters.

How can I get Norwegian (or any other latin-based) layout when using the hard keyboard with SwiftKey?

What is the easiest way to switch between different layouts quickly while using a physical keyboard with SwiftKey? (Something akin to the Samsung stock keyboard's alt+Shift Shortcut)

My details: Samsung I9305 running rooted stock 4.4.4 with Xposed Framework and SwitKey 6.1.0.71.


texts: adobe acrobat pdf reader now wants unnecessary permissions: workarounds? alternatives?

texts:
I recently went to reinstall adobe acrobat pdf reader, I found it now requires permissions for identity and ability to create accounts - I'm sure they weren't there last time I installed it.

I just want to read pdfs. They don't need accounts for that.

Is there a way to block it (I'm on lollipop, 5.1); or is there a less intrusive alternative?

I'm not keen on sideloading an older version from a random website.

texts: LG G2 (VS980) stuck in boot loop after flashing cm-11

texts: Following http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_VS980 to install cm on my Verizon VS980, I completed the steps and got a successful install but on reboot, my phone entered a boot loop, stopping at the LG logo. I can't seem to access TWRP recovery either, I tried multiple combinations including the instructions on the cyanogenmod wiki but still no luck.


texts: My space used and free space doesn't add up

texts:
See pic - the numbers don't add up!

Screenshot (click for larger variant)

This is a 16GB Nexus 7
The listed items only add up to a little over 9GB. So 4GB worth of files are missing.

How can I find those missing files?
