I have many test Android devices and added my Google account to those device to reuse my application collection.

Recently I often recieve payment notification via gmail for application which I really don't buy. So my need is to see the list of devices which has been added the account to.

This also related to the situation when someone try to use my account on their device and read my email/download my application.

So my question is "How to see the device list of a given Google account"?

texts: Upgrade a partially Downgraded Moto G4 Plus (XT1644) with unlocked bootloader to Nougat

texts:
tl;dr: had a problem rooting on Android N, flashed stock M image. Now running unrooted M, but attempts to OTA upgrade to N fail. I'm unable to relock bootloader by reflashing stock. I think this is because Motorola doesn't want users to downgrade. How can I get back up to N?

For the past year I've been using Android 6.0.1 rooted on my Moto G4 Plus (XT1644), the US retail model. This weekend I wanted to upgrade to Android 7.0 and install the security patches.

I made backups of my phone using FlashFire (standard and fastboot), then followed this guide to return my phone to stock and relock the bootloader. It worked, and I was able to OTA update to Android N and install the latest security updates.

I still wanted root, so I unlocked the bootloader again, booted into TWRP, and flashed the Magisk zip. After doing this, the phone would not boot except to recovery.

Here's where I screwed up. I figured I could just start again, and tried to flash the same 6.0.1 stock image. It worked, and the phone is now running 6.0.1, but is unable to install OTA updates. Further, when I try to flash stock and relock the bootloader, fastboot warns me
(bootloader) Invalid signed image
(bootloader) Preflash validation failed
for most steps, and (bootloader) Still require signed boot.img when I attempt to fastboot oem lock. The same happens when I try to restore my FlashFire backup. I believe this is functionality to prevent users from downgrading, although I was able to revert to 6.0.1.

I can't find a stock Android N rom for XT1644, just an OTA udpate I'm unable to install. What steps can I take to get back to Android N, or to completely revert my phone to stock so I can upgrade again.


texts: Cannot flash factory images to Google Pixel 2 XL

texts:
Device: Google Pixel 2 XL (taimen)

Carrier: Unlocked (purchased from the Play store)

Image: image-taimen-opm1.171019.011.zip

Ultimately, I'm trying to root the phone by flashing a batched boot.img to the stock image, but I'm unable to flash any images, whether that's the patched boot.img, TWRP, or even the stock factory images themselves. I've already unlocked the bootloader, using fastboot flashing unlock_critical.

I am running the newest version of adb and fastboot, downloaded yesterday:

$ fastboot --version
fastboot version 0.0.1-4500957
Installed as [REDACTED]

$ adb version
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.39
Version 0.0.1-4500957
Installed as [REDACTED]

Here's what happens when I try to flash the stock factory images, downloaded straight from Google:

$ adb reboot bootloader
$ ./flash-all.sh

Other commands fail with inconsistent error messages or failure modes. For example:

$ fastboot flash boot boot.img
target didn't report max-download-size
sending 'boot' (40960 KB)...
FAILED (remote: Requested download size is more than max allowed
)
finished. total time: 0.000s

If I retry with -S

$ fastboot -S 512K flash boot boot.img
Invalid sparse file format at header magic
sending sparse 'boot' 1/51 (508 KB)...

which hangs indefinitely, never sending the first segment.

I can try booting directly, which yields the same problem:

$ fastboot boot boot.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
# hangs indefinitely

Similarly:

$ fastboot --set-active=_a

will just hang indefinitely as well. I have to restart the bootloader to kill it, at which point it just prints the cryptic error: Device does not support slots (the Pixel 2 XL does support slots!).

The error messages aren't always consistent; sometimes the first fastboot flash boot boot.img command will appear to hang (requiring a restart, similar to --set-active) instead of printing the error message about max-download-size. I've let that run for about fifteen minutes before having to kill it. Unlike system.img, boot.img is only about 40MB, so it shouldn't take that long to flash - something is clearly wrong.

I've also tried this with multiple cables on different USB ports, with the same results.

For last 2 days, I am trying to connect my new Xperia-Tipo phone to PC but unable to connect. My PC's OS is Windows XP - SP3.

When I connect to PC, it is asking for PC companion installation.  But when I double click on Setup.exe its doing nothing.
So I downloaded PC companion (Version 2.1) and I tried to connect, but its not detecting my phone.

In trouble shooting its saying please check its properly connected or not. Yes its connected and my phone is charging too. I switch off my phone & tried its waste of time. If i see in my computer its not detecting any drive for USB.

texts: Cache more tabs to preserve the content when there's no internet connection in Firefox for Android

texts:
I've installed Firefox on my Android smartphone. I want to store many opened tabs, but Firefox stores a little number of tabs.

Looks like Firefox only stores a few tabs (about 5 of 25 total), so when I navigate to another tab, Firefox will use the internet connection to load it again. Thus, when there's no internet connection, I will get a connection error page instead. (btw, Opera Mini easily stores about 50 tabs opened)

I've tried to work with about:config settings like browser.cache.disk.capacity and browser.cache.check_doc_frequency but with no success.

I think the problem is with browser.cache.disk.capacity, but:

it's difficult to click too many times (current value is 30720, but I need 100000)
the browser sets browser.cache.disk.capacity back to the default value after some time

What do I need to do to avoid annoying reloads of the page?


texts: How can I execute a Tasker reboot command only 1 time?

texts:
I'm working with a chinese tablet which needs to be initialized every time after it's connected to a power source.

I'm using Tasker to do so.
Problem is: this condition makes tasker execute the reboot command over and over, and it becomes a bootloop.

What should I do in order to initialize the tablet when a power source is attached, but avoid it from entering the bootloop?

texts: How can I stop music apps from playing when my Android connects via Bluetooth to my car?

texts: We recently bought a used Toyota Prius that has Bluetooth installed with the JBL audio system. Whenever my phone (stock Nexus 4 running 4.4.4) connects to it, the car sends a "play" command that automatically starts the most recently used music app (Google Play Music, Pandora, etc.). It doesn't matter if no music app was open on the phone, the command opens it up and it starts playing no matter what, and there's no way on the car to stop it from sending the command, as mentioned here. Is there a way to stop this from happening?

texts: How to unlock a Photon Q with an MSL code?

texts:
I'm having a strange issue with a Motorola Photon Q. The Photon Q is carrier locked to Sprint but has long since been paid off. I have the IMEI and the MSL code to unlock the device to use with other carriers, but I've hit a roadblock in actually getting it unlocked. I called Sprint and the guy that answered seemed very helpful. He tried to unlock the phone. He even read through the manual to try to make this work. In the end he talked to his supervisors and informed me that because of how old the Photon Q is they can't unlock it through IMEI and that I need to go to the carrier that the phone will be used with, AT&T, and have them unlock it using the MSL code. So, I went to AT&T to talk with them about unlocking it with the MSL code and they didn't even seem to know what an MSL code was. I explained to them exactly what the Sprint guy explained to me several times but they didn't seem to understand. They wanted the IMEI, which didn't work. They kept asking me if it was an AT&T phone. Nothing I said seemed to get through and I still don't know how to unlock this phone.
So, how do I unlock this phone, the Motorola Photon Q, to be used with non-Sprint carriers like AT&T?

I just switched from an iPhone 5S just two days ago and now using LG G3.

I am having trouble with group messages. As an example, let's say there are four users in a group chat, 1 Android, 3 iPhones. It seems that if I'm participating in the group chat, all the iPhone users can see my messages, but I cannot see reply messages. After some testing, it seems that if an iPhone initiates the group chat, I will be able to see their messages, only theirs (and not the others).

I have MMS enabled. I have also tried some third party apps (Google Hangouts, Textra, but to no avail).

Lastly, I use SPRINT. What network mode should I be in (Global, LTE/CDMA, CDMA, GSM/UMTS)? Currently, I am on Global, which was the default. My house is in an area with dodgy phone connection for sprint, but I spend most of my time where there is a decent connection (3G, I believe).


texts: How to disable secure credentials password?

texts:
On DesireZ running android 2.2 I've run into a rather annoying problem. The phone forces me to make a credentials password for WIFI, and then I have to enter it before the phone will connect to a secured wifi network.

I don't care about the security of my wifi passwords being compromised in the event of my phone being stolen, so I would like to disable this annoyance.

I cannot find any setting or way of doing this, however. Is it possible? Or is there an app which can remember and automatically enter the password on boot-up?

Thanks.

[edit]I can uncheck the "use secure credentials" option, but that simply prevents me from connecting to any wifi connection which requires a password. Attempting to enter a password for the wifi connection first prompts me for a new secure credentials password...[/edit]

The minimum password length is 8, so it won't let me leave it blank.

texts: Can't connect Samsung Note 10+ to Windows 10

texts:
I bought a new Belkin USB-A to USB-C cable to connect my Note 10+ to my pc. But when I plug it in I get the error:

Check your charger connection

Make sure the cable and charger are properly connected

I've tried every usb slot on the pc, and tried cleaning out the usb-c slot on the phone but nothing worked. It does charge (albeit slowly) but I'm trying to connect so that I can USB tether internet to the pc.
The strangest thing is that if I try and connect my partner's S21 ultra to the pc with the same cable it works just fine. I had thought maybe it was the usb slot on the pc that couldn't provide enough power or something, but the fact that the other phone connects indicates maybe something wrong with the phone? or a set up thing?


texts: Do not mute Sound on incoming notification - Android, YouTube

texts:
Is there an option to manage sound notification behaviour on a Android phone?

Description:
In the morning, I do watch YouTube lectures, but every minute or so I do receive Slack message, that mute the voice in the video for 5 seconds. It is really annoying, and hard to listen the lecture.

How it should be:

Option 1: Allow a notification to interrupt the sound/video stream without muting it (so the 'bip' would overlay/merge to the sound stream, but the video would continue).
Option 2: (the current system state): Mute the application, but do not stop the video (very annoying)!
Option 3: Mute the application, but stop the stream/video/music.

I know that there are some option to mute the phone (manual), or install an app (automatic), but I do not wan't do mute the notification itself. I do want to hear it, just without muting the sound/video/music that is currently playing!

My system Android 5, Samsung Galaxy S5

Greetings

texts: Is there any way to disable Direct Share on Android 6?

texts:
This looks like this

The problem is I very rarely send something to contacts. The case I am looking for some app is much more frequent, usually processing the image, e.g. share from google camera to VSCO cam, or from VSCO cam to Instagram, Facebook, etc.
Thus, app list must be shown first. But I see this contact list, I will very unlikely to use. I even doubt the contact in the rare ocassion of direct share will be in the list.

This functionality also slows down the dialog, it takes quite a while for it to be shown.

So, the question is if there is any way to disable this funcionality. I just don't need this.

texts: Android Emulator on MacOS 10.14 has internet only after restarting machine

texts:
I've search the internet far and wide for this issue but didn't seem to have success so far. What I am experiencing:

I've set up the following environment:

Android Studio
Android Emulator using API 28
My OS is MacOS 10.14.3
Using it to build a React Native app

At the beginning I didn't have any internet, so I've added DNS of 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 to my System Preferences / Network / DNS. Also I start my avd and tell it to use those dns settings.

After I start my OS fresh and load up the avd I do have internet, loading pages via the Chrome browser. After a little while, though, maybe a minute or two the internet is dropping. Device shows I'm connected to Wi-Fi but no internet. Also Chrome stops loading pages.

Did someone experience the same problem? I've looked through logs and ran avd with -verbose option but nothing legitimate shows up.

What I'm suspecting:

Either the number of internet connections is maxed out (read of such a bug somewhere)
or file descriptors of the MacOS are maxed out

Nevertheless I don't know how to find out which is it, or how to fix it.

I'd be very happy if someone might be able to help.

Thanks in advance.


texts: Cannot use keyboard in Google Chrome app

texts:
Update (20/10/2014)

After a routine update of installed apps everything seems to be working as expected. I suspect that updating the LG Keyboard app (which came with the phone) did the trick.

Original

I have a rooted European LG G3 32 GB on KitKat 4.4.2. Up until a day ago I could happily browse the internet using the Google Chrome app. However now I am able to do everything but typing using the keyboard.

I can press on links, go into settings and use voice control to browse but I cannot type anything. When I press on the search bar, the keyboard shows up as usual but it is completely inresponsive. And if I keep on pressing the keyboard the app freezes. I had to press the back/home buttons over ten times to leave the app.

I have tried clearing both cache and app data, force stopping the app, reboot, uninstall updates and reinstall updates but no joy. Next I tried Chrome Beta, but it's all the same.

I have also tried the stock android browser and Dolphin, those two do work. So my issue seems to be concerning the Google browsers only.

What could I do to fix this malfunctioning?

notifications coming from both calendars, as if they're both local

to associate a google account with the phone
the gmail app to be in any way involved
to accept Samsung's request to hold my personal information for 5 years on their servers
any kind of sync involving e-mail, contacts etc etc.

It amazes me that this seems nearly impossible to do. Is it/how?

texts: Disable "Get google play services" message

texts:
So I have a rooted Lenovo P780 with VibeUI 2.0 KitKat, without google play services.

Some apps give the "Get google play services" popup, but don't actually need it.
It's a bit annoying and I remember seeing an app someone made that disables that message.
I remember seeing it on the xda-developers forums, but can't find it.

Does anyone have any idea where I could find it, or something similar?

I'm aware that such an app wouldn't fix anything, I just want to disable the message so I don't have to dismiss it every time. Especially since it pops up without warning, so I sometimes accidentally click it.


texts:
I have an LG P880 phone on 4.2 and a 2013 Nexus 7 on 4.4. I use 2G, 3G and Wifi for the phone. I am experimenting with changing the DNS to Google's. I do notice that the ISP (Wifi of course) DNS performance is unacceptable.

Which is an app that allows me to set DNS with minimum drama: no random failures, no need of root, no interception of traffic (one app creates a VPN)?


texts: How to make Startup PIN make a loud noise

texts:
My phone unexpected rebooted itself this evening while I was cycling.  This was unfortunate, because I was logging my ride with GPS, and my phone was inside a pack where I could not tell it had rebooted.  Worse still, even though the logging app would have automatically detected that logged was enabled and restarted logging, causing me to only lose a couple minutes of data, the device itself was stuck at the boot screen waiting for a PIN.  The reboot happened about one minute into my ride, and thus my entire ride was lost.

I have done some research and have found that the only way to disable encryption on my phone involves unlocking and flashing a new bootloader and reformatting the entire flash, which has risks of its own and I am not comfortable doing at this time.  So barring that I would like some way to know when my phone is wanting me to enter the PIN so it can boot, so that when I am running a logging application I don't lose all my data simply.

How can I make my phone forcibly alert me when it wants this info?  Preferably a loud tone of some kind that would persist until the PIN is entered.

Update: Ok, apparently after a while the device starts making a faint clicking noise, but this is nothing I would ever hear while outside.

I found a CMW .img file another user used for same model, is that the right one or are there different CMW links?

If it is the right one, or you link a CMW download, the next step is

fastboot reboot

How do I get the Nandroid backup after that?

texts: Is Qi / wireless charging safe? Heightened temperature not an issue? (Nexus 7)

texts:
A friend of mine told me, like it was a fact, that qi (wireless) charging is not safe and it damages battery because it heats it. I just bought one charger, but would like to avoid damaging my Nexus. Could not find out any information about it on the internet though, which makes me even more sceptical, that it just might be a rumour of some kind.

I am currently charging right now and it is getting kind of warm. The temperature according to a system monitor is just 32 degree Celsius. Seems normal to me.

Whenever I try and adb pull an installed APK from my device, it says adb: error: remote object {name} does not exist. I've tried and it works with files in /sdcard, and I definitely have access to the APK. I can also ls inside the app's install directory and it will be fine.

Here is an example with Snapchat:

pm path com.snapchat.android gives me /data/app/com.snapchat.android-2/base.apk

ls -l /data/app/com.snapchat.android-2gives me

total 153872
-rw-r--r-- 1 system system  78767561 2016-09-02 13:03 base.apk
drwxr-xr-x 3 system system      4096 2016-09-02 13:04 lib
drwxrwx--x 3 system install     4096 2016-09-02 13:05 oat

I can stat and cat the base.apk, which proves there isn't a file permissions issue.

I've restarted my phone, restarted adb, rebooted my computer, tried it with other apps, tried it with everything and nope, it's like adb just can't see it. Anything I can try or do?

Update

Forgot to mention I am using adb on Windows 7. When I use cmd.exe, the above happens, but when I use git bash (on MinGW) it gives a weird error: adb: error: remote object 'C:/Program Files/Git/data/app/{apkName}/base.apk' does not exist.
I ended up pulling the APK through one of those WiFi file transfer apps which present a UI over a HTTP server. Based on #1, it must be a weird bug on my system/with adb where it won't properly parse a path.

texts: How to troubleshoot/debug slow phone that burns battery?

texts:
My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S5 mini, so it's getting old by industry standards. Until a few months ago, it was doing fine, but recently the battery life and response time have drastically degraded. Even with every optimisation I know of, I am now lucky if the battery lasts a day (~16h). 8h is more typical. The phone sometimes hangs for long enough for the screen lock to activate (2 minutes). When the hanging is particularly bad, I have noticed that the phone feels warm.

I have seen messages saying that two apps (Facebook messenger and DJI pilot) have caused ~17 errors each in the past week, so I should optimize power settings. Activating "save power" hasn't helped.

The standard battery indicator says that 20-25% is used by the screen , 15-20% by the Android System, and 10-15% by Android OS. I tried to get more information on the battery by installing "Repair Battery Life". This app claimed to repair 5 "low" cells. But it seemed far too easy. I'm sceptical whether an app can repair battery cells.

I can think of some things that have changed in the last few months, but I wouldn't expect them to have made such a big difference. I have installed some new apps, but none use more than 3% of battery. I assume this means that they're not consuming enough CPU to hang the phone either. One of the new apps is perhaps more of a suspect than the others: Netguard. I would expect that less network traffic would save battery, but I could be mistaken if apps are very aggressive about retrying the connection. Finally, I have moved house, and the reception (wifi & whatever you call the normal network) might be worse, but not noticeably.

What else can I try to get more information on the problem(s)?

Update: I noticed two new symptoms.

1) the phone only seems to hang when I am out of wifi range.

2) looking closer at the battery menu under Settings, there seems to be significant battery usage at times where the phone is "awake" but the screen is off. Does this mean that some app is constantly waking the CPU?

Update2: today I had the screen on for 2 hours straight, which took my battery from ~75% to 15%. Clearly, a lot of this was for the screen, so I was surprised to see that in the battery stats, it says that the screen used 15% of the battery, while "android system" used much more: 19% and 5 hours of CPU time. "Android OS" also has a significant contribution with 8%. Is there any way to narrow down why the Android components are so active?

texts: How can I use a Bluetooth keyboard with my Android 4.0 phone?

texts:
My phone recently received an upgrade to Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) over the air and want to connect a Bluetooth keyboard to it.

My phone is a Samsung Nexus S 4G (Sprint) and the keyboard is a Logitech Bluetooth Keyboard for Android 3.0+. I had tried to connect the keyboard earlier, while running Android 2.3.x, with little success. What information I could find at the time suggested that Android lacked a Bluetooth keyboard "driver" prior to Honeycomb, so I was enthusiastic about the upgrade to ICS.

Sadly, however, doing what's obvious isn't working for me:

Enable Bluetooth in my phone settings.
Turn on the keyboard.
(Keyboard appears in list of Bluetooth devices on phone.)
Select keyboard from list of devices.
(Prompt with PIN appears on phone.)
Enter PIN on keyboard.
(Keyboard shows on the phone as paired.)

At this point, however, no further settings present themselves. The configuration for the keyboard only allows renaming and unpairing. The keyboard doesn't appear in the Keyboards and Input settings at all. Nor, of course, does simply typing on the keyboard cause input to appear on my phone.

Can this combination of hardware be made to work? How can I proceed?

texts: Disable Chromecast audio interrruption/autopauze when using camera, microphone or receiving phonecall

texts:
I know some people like the auto-pauze function when receiving a phone call so so they are not interrupted by their own music playing. But I am personally very annoyed by that function. When I'm listening to the radio (streaming trough Chromecast audio) I do not want my live stream to be interrupted because I make a photo or video, ask something to my phone or receive a phone call. When I'm listening to a podcast it doesn't even resume after using the camera, the podcast just restarts from the beginning. Very annoying.

After some trial and error I discovered it is the app who plays the audio that interrupts it on an event, not Android itself. Yes it's a bad app that does not offer options to disable that function but its the only one available as it is from the national government. So my question to the community is if there is a way to block the events (camera, microphone, phone call) from being noticed by the app streaming to my Chromecast.

ps: the app(s) I'm referring to are the ones from VRT/RTBF (Belgian national radio).

I have a rooted Google/HTC Nexus One running Android 4.0, Cyanogenmod, and MIUI. These mods were done by the previous owner.

Considering that the amount of internal storage my phone has is really tiny, I'm always looking for ways to free up space. My current idea is to symlink either all or part of /data to somewhere on the SD card where I have lots of free space.

My question is, would this cause any problems? I've got a lot of Linux experience, but I'm an Android newbie. The filesystem seems to be a bit different from what I'm used to in the Linux world.

Also, are there any pitfalls I should be aware of, such as certain data that must be available before the SD card is mounted?


texts: Updating apps in multi-user environment?

texts:
When you have multiple users, you have a different app collection for each one. However, it seems there's some intelligence to installing apps from the play store, in that the same app is only installed once, and the multiple users only gain access to that same app.

When you update an app, does the app also get updated for every user using that app? Does every user have the access to update those shared apps?

How does this work with apps installed manually from .apk files, or by some other app store system?

texts: How do wi-fi only Android devices synchronise time?

texts:
I'm having a problem with some Android tablets being unable to synchronise the time when connected to our wireless network. This is in a school and fairly heavily locked down, so it's probable that they are being blocked from accessing something that they need to in order to synchronise the time.

These are Wi-Fi only devices, so they can't set the time from a GSM provider or anything, meaning they must be using something else, presumably NTP. If it's NTP, how can I view/change the time server used?

The devices are Android 4.0.1. I'm not sure what make/model they are but will try and find out.

texts: Google Play Store claims background data is disabled when I'm not on cellular

texts:
When I try to run the Google Play store app on my Android 6.0 device, I get an error message telling me:

Background data disabled

Google Play Store needs background data to be enabled.

When I click on "learn more" I am taken to this page: https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/1663315?hl=en

That page claims that, under Android 5.0 or higher I need to open the Settings app and select  "Wireless & networks" or "Connections" and touch "Data Usage", or on some devices "Battery & Data Manager" and then "Delivery".   I have none of these, the closest I have are "WiFi" and "Battery", neither of which have "Data Usage" or "Delivery" under them.

I do however have "Data Usage" as a top-level menu item in Settings but it deals exclusively with Cellular Data limiting.  And in that I do have Google Play Store restricted to "Disable background data on cellular networks".  I am not going to change this as this was one app I identified which was using excessive mobile data usage.

However, I am not on a cellular network when I am trying to open the Google Play store, I am on WiFi, so I'm not sure why it is complaining.  Is there some other location that background data has to be enabled for WiFi?  I find that when connected to WiFi my phone is automatically updating apps in the background every day or two which would seem to suggest it does have background data when on WiFi, so why can't I open the Play Store under the same conditions?

texts: android "insta apps" updating without permission

texts:
Happened to open my android Marshmallow based screen on my unrooted phone.  Saw a message that "insta apps" was updating.  Download completed before I could stop it and update history does not show this package as being updated.
I have:

verified that there is no package installed in the settings->apps list with insta apps in it's name.
verified that install from 3rd party source is turned off in my settings->security options
made sure that my play store settings for auto-update apps is set to do not auto-update apps.
did an adb backup and had a look at the package list and did not find any apps with insta in their package name.

I did download a audio recorder application from the play store which kept flashing dodgy messages.  Maybe it installed something else?

Anyway to track down what this is?  My phone is not rooted but I do have dev studio access to it.  Maybe it's time to put the phone in the wood chiper and never use the playstore again?

texts:
How long is it supposed to take to install the system update, I think from 4.4.2 to 4.4.3, on a Nexus 4?

I downloaded the 70 MB and after the phone restarted, it attempted to install the system update for the last 2+ hours. The progress bar starts, goes all the way to the end, the screen goes black for a split second and then the install screen appears again with the bar starting at the beginning again. The phone is not brand new anymore, but I would expect it to go faster.

If this is too long and maybe an error occurred, can I cancel the update process by pressing >Vol-Down + Power Button< without having to worry about an unusable phone afterwards?

As my title suggests.. is there a method to flash a (samsung) firmware on a formatted sd card (fat32 I guess? And 16gb too?) instead of an actual phone (flash emulation) using pit file in heimdall/odin or changing values in heimdall/odin to make it happen?
What I want to do : Just partition and flash the bootloader and kernel partitions to an sd card (it should be partitioned in a similar way as it happens after flashing them on internal memory normally through odin.. problem is .. phone is deadboot i.e can't go in download mode and I want to get the correct bootloader and primary partitions on the sd card and try to boot through it in download mode and reflash normally..)
I have firmware but I cannot seem to get it flashed (or in other words, partitioned according to pit file) on an sd card without actual working phone sadly. I tried and researched a lot but couldn't find exact answer.
Furthermore, repairing in a local shop or a box isn't an option. And can't afford replacing motherboard etc. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks !

Looking at the SDK docs (http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screen-compat-mode.html), the developer of the app can disable it in the manifest file, but as that's not me I'm wondering how I can do it as a user of the app?

Any ideas?

Is it wise to root my Android phone used for development? Can the device become somewhat unstable which will affect the debugging process when building apps for my phone?

I have a Galaxy Mega and I'd like to Root the device by using only the most essential utilities that I need (USB Mass Storage, SetCPU, CWM).

I am also wondering if I can apply the usual Samsung Rom Updates by Using CWM and keeping Root, without bricking my device.

texts: Moisture detection when connecting external hard-drive to tablet

texts:
I have a Fire HD 10 Tablet with android in it and i'm trying to use external USB (like storage or mouse) but when i plug the tablet to an USB-Hub connected to a SD Card it reads it for about 10 seconds and then throws the message "Moisture/Water detected, please unplug the USB".
The thing is i tried this with another tablet and it's the same.
However, i tried with my PC and it works fine, so the problem can't come from the USB-Hub or the SD Card.
Any suggestions how i can solve this?
(I know it's more a hardware topic here, but maybe the problem can come from software too?)

texts: How to add new language Unicode range to Android OS

texts:
Background

Sri Lanka has its own language called Sinhala with its own Unicode range (0D80 - 0DFF) and set of rendering rules. Currently Android phones do not support this language (but Linux and Windows do). We have built a temporary solution using JavaScript to read Sinhala in Android but we face issue when need to input by users.

Questions

How can we add a new built-in Unicode range to Android?
Do I need to request this from Google or can we do it ourselves?
Do we need to request this from Android manufacturers such as Samsung, HTC, Acer?
How can we create a Android keyboard that is suitable to our language.


texts:
So I've been having this issue for the last month+ and I have yet to find an answer. I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 running Android 7.0

My home wifi was working fine until one day, seemingly out of the blue, I started noticing my phone was not connected to wifi. When I would inspect the connection I see "authentication error occurred". I can put in the correct credentials and I still get the error. HOWEVER if I turn the wifi on my phone on and off it can auto connect to the router and will maintain a connection. So it appears the authentication error is not due to incorrect credentials. Sometimes I reboot the phone and that allows it to connect as well.

The phone has no problem with any other wireless access points and no other devices in the home have an issue with the router. I have other Android devices that don't have this problem.

I'm not even really sure what could cause this issue. Malware? Why would it only be between this specific phone and that specific router? Could anyone with some knowledge of networking be able to suggest what the problem could be?

texts: Samsung Galaxy S6 edge scroll stuttering

texts:
I have just bought an Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge smartphone. After updating the firmware to 5.1.1 version, which is the latest Android software for this phone at this moment, there are some issues with scrolling through applications.

When scrolling through applications such as Settings, Facebook, Twitter, Google Play Store or the application manager (for multi-tasking) the phone has these small lagg spikes. It stops at a random point (the lagg) and then just continues.

There are a couple of video's that shows this problem.

Video 1
Video 2
Video 3

My device is not rooted and at most of it's factory default settings. There is no custom themes installed and I've tried disabling some of the "bloatware".

I've read some articles about this same problem, and what I can get from it is that the phone is handling to much background-applications. From what I could have seen, people rooted their phones to fix this problem. But I dont want to do this, because this is a new phone.

I couldn't yet believe this is because the specifications of the phone, because they are alot better then my old phone, which didn't had this issue.

How can I fix this problem without having to root or use 3rd-party applications/tools?

Note: This problem is not so bad, but for a > €600 phone, this is kind of annoying.

Update #1: Went through troubleshooting with three different HTC techs. The last effort was to clear the boot partition cache and factory reset the phone. After doing both, however, the issue remained.  I learned that the AT&T software is out of date and actually has never been updated since I've had the phone for 16 months.  I'm waiting for a level 2 HTC tech to send me the latest version.

texts: File copied to /system/bin keeps disappearing

texts:
After copying Sqlite3 to by /system/bin folder, the file disappears.  I can successfully change the folder to rw and modify the file properties on sqlite3.  However, as soon as I remount my /system as ro, the sqlite3 file disappears.  I have attempted this using these instructions, from both a terminal session on the phone and adb session from my pc with the same results.

Here's what I've tried:

mount -o remount,rw /system
cp /sdcard/sqlite3 /system/bin (ls confirms that the file is present)
chmod 4755 /system/bin/sqlite3 (SQLite command works)
mount -o remount,ro /system (file is gone)

I also tried copying SQLite from my TitaniumBackup folder, but with the same results.  Although, calling SQLite from this folder seems to work.

And, I tried using File Manager with root to copy and set permissions on the files, also unsuccessfully.

And, I have also tried SQLite Installer for Root, but it hasn't worked.

My device is a Sprint HTC One M8, rooted with TWRP, Android 5.0.1.

This question is very similar to this old, unanswered one on StackOverflow.

UPDATE 2015-07-27:  I have used @Izzy's suggestions and run a logcat and collected the file (actually several repetitions). After searching the files for anything related to any key terms (e.g. sqlite3, mount, chmod, remount, cp...) I can't find anything of obvious value.  Of course, I've never done this before, so I don't have any experience parsing or interpreting these files.  Any other thoughts/directions would be appreciated. FWIW, for the short term, I'm using the TitaniumBackup SQLite file, so my immediate problem is solved-not it's just personal between me and my OneM8!

UPDATE 2015-07-28:  This problem affects any file I try to copy to /system/bin-they're all erased/removed upon a reboot.  I also tried from TWRP Recovery's file manager with the same result

texts: Unable to see newly added contacts on Viber for Nexus 7 LTE

texts:
As title says, I've been looking for a solution to this issue but it seems like its something to do with Viber itself. To describe the issue, I'm using a Nexus 7 LTE version with KitKat 4.4.3. It works perfectly on the device but neither can I search contacts nor see a newly added contact (before the last update) under Viber when added through Google's default "People" app.

And soon after the latest update I could search for the contacts but not the newly added contacts been seen though the user is a Viber user.

Quite amazing is that when I switch on DATA on my mobile (which also has the same Viber number configured) & sync the contacts which then the new contact start to appear on Viber under both Nexus & mobile device.

I don't know whether this is a bug with Viber for Nexus devices as I've not seen any solutions to this so far. An output or advise on this will be great!

Thank you in advance.

texts:
Phone is fairly new to me, I got it November or so. It's always worked just fine. Today I had it plugged in, walked into the other room for a few minutes and came back. Phone showed an error something like "Charging paused. system is too hot." So my Boyfriend told me to restart it and put in my extra battery (because I have two batteries for it). Did that, powered back up, was working on where in settings I could find the battery temperature and (less than 5 minutes)it told me something to the effect of "System overheating. all apps have been closed, phone can only be used for contacts". So I powered off, pulled out the battery, and now I'm nervous to try and turn it on again.
Any suggestions?

I've started to read about the AndroidManifest.xml file and the network_security_config.xml.
So if I want to include the network_security_config.xml then I use this:

Yesterday I reversed a APK and inspected the AndroidManifest.xml.
The file-path to the network_security_config.xml is /res/xml so if I thinking right, the Path in the AndroidManifest.xml should look like this:

android:networkSecurityConfig="@res/xml/network_security_config"

instead I've found this:

    android:networkSecurityConfig="@7F140000"

What does this number mean and how is it build? Is this some sort of obfuscation? If not: for what is it used?

My Samsung Galaxy S5 tells me I have insufficient storage to update apps.  Looking at the storage menu, I have enough space, and it will work if I clear the cache through the storage menu.  This is only a temporary fix, though.  I had 21 updates this morning and I had to clear the cache 6 times just to update them.  Looking on Google I found many people suggesting accessing the SysDump menu and deleting the dumpstate/logcat to fix this issue.  However, everyone says to dial *#9900# in the dialer to access this.  This does not work on my phone, maybe because I have Android 5.0, and most of these articles and posts were written years ago.  How can I access the SysDump menu?

Or is there a better solution for this?  I only have 512MB free of 16GB, however, most apps are <30MB.  I see 5.56GB in Miscellaneous files though when I look through them they add up to 105MB.

Their commercial geolocation API doc says it needs a list of every WiFi access point around, with, for each of them:

MAC address,

a few others.

Common devices probably query the geolocation web service like this.

However, I'm interested in knowing if Chrome/Android actually sends more information to Google, like:

my device WiFi MAC address or "ID"?
my GPS location? (say, to geolocalize WiFi APs around me for Google)
etc.

The best answer would be a (sniffed) query dump from a WiFi enabled device (bypassing https). A source code review may also be useful, but for Chromium only.

I have a rooted GT-I9100G. Recently the official JB for France came out, and I wanted to flash it.

Some of the reasons to do so were:

My phone use to randomly show charging even when the charger was not plugged in
Random reboots would occur
Had heard the new official firmware was pretty good

So, I went ahead and rebooted to CWM recovery (was running AOKP 4.2). Did a factory and Data wipe, wiped cache, and Dalvik Cache. Now, I've realized I made a mistake by formatting /system and rebooting. That shouldn't have been a problem, because it should still boot into Download or Recovery mode (on pressing Down+Home+Lock or Up+Home+Lock respectively). Yet, when I try entering either the phone gets stuck on the Samsung Logo screen  :(

One thing that is really bothering me is whenever I put in the battery, a couple of seconds later the battery indicator shows and stays stuck at that.

Please guys help me out. I don't even have a decent replacement phone for the time-being. :S

First: this question is not a duplicate of:

This question: I don't want to use SOCKS, and I am not asking about Lollipop.
This question: No answer, and different use case
This question: I don't have time to develop my own application.

My goal: to find a way to force all internet traffic (including cellular ie LTE) into my OpenVPN server, except for apps on a whitelist. Whitelisted apps either connect to a second VPN or SOCKS proxy (option preferred), or not be connected to a tunnel at all (a "normal" connection).

For example, try out the ProtonVPN application (which, by the way, I recommend). There is an option to whitelist apps from the VPN. This is what I want, but for my own server.

Root is definitely not preferred, but if it's the only option, then I guess I'll accept it. Multiple profiles are also not preferred, but if it allows some apps to be over VPN and others not, then I will also accept that (but I would like system apps to be blocked in that case).

Thank you.

Did this work for you? I tried to follow the instructions on the Wiki page you mentioned, but it did not work. I always ended up with the error described above.

I tried to run "migration.sh unofficial" from recovery which resulted in an error message:

  CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE "/system/bin/sh": cannot locate symbol "__aeabi_memset" referenced by "/system/bin/sh"...

I run the same script while LineageOS was running:

$ adb shell sh /data/local/tmp/migration.sh unofficial
Official to unofficial migration
Saving backup as /data/system/packages.xml.bak
Done

But when I go to recovery to flash my own build it still says:

  Can't install this package on top of incompatible data. Please try
  another package or run a factory reset

How did you manage to do it?

How can I use multi window or another gesture to edit to Google keep notes at the same time. I'm on Android 7.0 Nougat. I know I can use multi window, although I would appreciate it if someone could kindly let me know how to being the second window up, but I don't know if you can have the same so, such as keep, in both windows, so as to achieve my goal.

Thanks.

texts: I have a couple of tablets for a school software.Tablets are mid 2.3 gingerbread. They work ok. When they start, it checks for wi-fi and automatically connects. My problem is, after 30 minutes of inactivity, when they get into stand-by, after I unlock the screen my wi-fi connection is not available. But if I turn off/on it works ok. I was wondering how can I fix this so that when the screen goes into stand-by when it wakes the wi-fi will work. (The tablets are in a different city and I can't turn the wi-fi on manually or by remote). Any help is welcomed. Thanks.


texts: Upgraded my device from KitKat to Lollipop, is there a way to get the airplane mode back to the power options?

texts: I recently upgraded my phone's OS from KitKat to Lollipop, and noticed that when I press the power button for an extended time to open the power options, there is no longer a quick button to put the device into airplane mode, which was present in the KitKat version. The only way I can now put my phone to airplane mode is via the settings menu, which is not as fast and effective as it used to be. Does anyone know if it is possible to add the airplane mode function to the power options and if so, how can I do this?


texts: Interchanging battery with a higher capacity battery

texts:
My Redmi 1s has a battery capacity 2050mAh (BM41). And the upgrade of the phone is Redmi 2 with capacity 2200mAh(BM44).

Can I use this battery if it fits in my device? Will it creates any software problems?


texts: How does Samsung's WiFi Sharing work on a low level?

texts:
Samsung have had a feature called WiFi Sharing in their Android devices for some time.

This extends the tethering or hotspot function to be able to share another access point via its own SSID (with the same configuration that'd normally be used for sharing LTE).

How does this work on a low level? Could this function theoretically be added to other Android devices or even AOSP? What features of a WiFi chipset allow this to work?

I see What is the functionality concept behind Wi-Fi sharing (aka Wi-Fi Profile share)? but it only talks about the Android side, not the kernel or hardware side. It's also pretty incorrect as WiFi Sharing (at least on the S8+) doesn't use WiFi Direct at all.

I think that Motorola One can be considered a quite powerful phone with its octa-core 2.0 GHz Snapdragon 625 and 3 GB or RAM. It also produces a fairly small images of 4160x3120 pixels and approx. 3-5 MB in size. Based on that specs, I'd say that sharing image should be an instant experience.
Yet, in fact, it is a nightmare in my case:

attaching single image to Gmail (to share it via email) takes 20-30 seconds, sometimes more and often hangs Gmail itself for a moment (i.e. I can write an address or message content during adding of image) or permanently,
attaching image to Messages app (to share it via MMS message) takes 30-50 seconds or even more, often hangs Messages app and on a few rare occasions hanged entire phone.

Is there anything I can do about this except for uninstalling Gmail and Google Messages and start using another email and messages app?
BTW: We could say that my slow network (which is not slow) can be considered as a contributing factor in case of Gmail. But could it also explain MMS experience? Which has nearly nothing to do about data transfer over Internet during MMS message creation?


texts: How to skip welcome page after factory restore? I don't have access to Google

texts:
I'm from China and I can't access google without setting up a vpn/vps.

I recently got an update to 5.0.2 for my Nexus 7 2013 (WIFI) tablet.
I got stuck at the Welcome page. I think I'm supposed to enter my Google account, but I don't have access to Google. There was a "skip" option in previous versions.

I'm now able to restore the tablet to previous versions of Android. Does anyone know which version doesn't require account at Welcome page? Is there any walk-around for this issue if I want to update to 5.0.2? I tried proxy for WIFI, it didn't work, though I think it's a promising way.

It has been a while since I am using the YouTube's offline video feature. But there is one thing which is annoying me off late.

I have set of YouTube videos saved for offline view, and it seems YouTube app in android add all of them in Play List. I did not created this play list manually. But as soon as I add a new video for offline view, YouTube app automatically add it into this so called Offline  playlist.

The issue is, when I play, say first video from that offline play list and when it is over, app picks up another video from offline Play list and plays it. I don't want this to happen.

I only want to play just 1 video and when it is done, app should just wait, instead of picking up a video from play list. This is how YouTube itself work, when it is not playing offline videos. It waits for user to pick the next video.

I don't want to adjust the sequence in which these videos are played. I want to play only single video at a time from that Offline play list(which is really created automatically by YouTube).

YouTube app version is 11.13.56

Is there a way?
