Sounds like the speaker or some other component was damaged by the heat. $150 for repair. So depending on whatever phone it is and its value, you could better off just replacing it with a new one.

I'm using an LRA S6 Edge with 5.0.2.

Hi all,

Sorry to be asking such an incredibly basic question. I've been wanting to ask this question for a LONG time, but this is the first time I'm feeling enough courage to ask such a basic question.

Is there a list of "Best benefits" of rooting a phone that I could look at?

I'm aware of the risks, but what about the positives?

Thank you for any help!!!

the benefits these days are minimal. its not quite like the old days. i have rooted many phones, but in the past. my first rooted phone was an htc evo 4g. it really unlocked the potential of that phone. i overclocked it which made the phone run faster. i flashed custom kernels which made the battery life much better. i also flashed a script that made the phone's sd card into internal storage.

but in todays phones, all of this is not necessary as most phone's chip are pretty fast. some phones you can format the sd card as internal. and most phone's have pretty good sized batteries.......so for me, the need to root is not there.

also keep in mind that some apps....like banking apps, will not work on rooted phones.

I forgot to mention:

Is there a handbook or something I could have a read of? Even if I have to pay premium money for a book that explains this?

Click to expand...

these are pretty old threads, but the concepts and terminology are still the same.

also do your research on rooting. not all phones can be rooted. and not all phone's have the same rooting proceess. i would first go to XDA Forums and see if there is a development forum for your device. also check to see how active it is. if there is no forum for your device, then there is no community to back the phone. just remember that no devs=no fun. also check to see if there is a custom recovery, mainly TWRP. if you can root, but there is no twrp, I would seriously advice on not rooting the device. the #1 tool for root users is a custom recovery which is used for flashing custom roms and making nandroid backups.

what phone do you have? and out of curiosity, why do you want to root?

Can some please suggest a plausible launcher or other solution? Every launcher to date appears to be incompatible .
I'm hoping to use a X96Q tv box (Allwinner H313/H616; Android 10, rooted, comes with Chrome 72 though it seems happy with Chrome 114, Odin and EinkBro browsers) as a intranet graphic terminal;
my problem is that I have yet to find a launcher to replace the Chinese manufacturer's home-screen (mediabox) from which I can not hide/delete unwanted links to Play Store, Netflix, Chrome, and Youtube app links so I can present links to:
Option 1) ssh 192.168.0.2
Option 2) web-client 192.168.0.2:80
Option 3) web-client 192.168.0.2:8080
Option 4) web-client 192.168.0.3:80
I would like to display a homescreen wallpaper and perhaps even dare I suggest a clock/date widget.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this question but I used to upload my apps on the google developer console and then you had the roll-out option to send them for review. Now I've been told that I have to test them before, either with an internal or a closed testing. But once I send an app to a number of people, how does it work to have it reviewed? I don't see the roll-out option, should I wait a few days? How does it work?

Hi there. Here are a few tips on how to make your Android mobile app successful and attract a harmonious traffic:
Define your target audience: Clearly identify who your app is intended for. Understand their needs, preferences, and pain points to tailor your app's features and user experience accordingly.
User-centric design: Create an intuitive and user-friendly interface that provides a seamless and enjoyable experience. Focus on simplicity, easy navigation, and responsiveness to ensure users can effortlessly interact with your app.
Optimize performance: Optimize your app's performance by minimizing loading times, reducing app size, and optimizing memory usage. A smooth and fast app experience is crucial for user satisfaction and retention.
Regular updates and bug fixes: Continuously improve your app by releasing updates that address user feedback, fix bugs, and introduce new features.
App store optimization (ASO): Optimize your app's visibility in the Google Play Store by strategically using relevant keywords, crafting compelling descriptions, and using appealing visuals. This will help increase organic traffic and attract users searching for apps similar to yours.
Social media and online presence: Leverage social media platforms and online communities to promote your app.
I hope this helps. I wish you every success.😊

Have you tried rebooting or resetting the head unit? And if the BT is still non-functional after that, then returning it for repair or replacement service is required.

Thank you,
Yes I have, multiple times. I have reinstalled the update multiple times, I have pulled it and checked all wiring and connections. I did manage to get the factory settings code but, it did not give me any insight.

I found that when the "use volume keys for media" is checked in the volume settings, it ALSO controls the ringtone volume. So if you turn down the volume on a YouTube video you're also turning down the ringer volume. Just uncheck "use volume keys for media" and they're unlinked. The volume keys do adjust media volume when you're using it, but don't affect the ringtone.

I understand that there is a daily local back up held in db.crypt14 files. What exactly gets backed up here? chats and media (including images, documents and videos)

and what about the optional Google backup - what is backed up there (i do see an option to exclude videos)?

Thanks

first off i do not use whatsapp.......but i'm pretty sure that it backsup any data on the app, mostly your chats. and i'm not sure on google drive, but i would assume it is the same.

curious as to why you need to know?

Make sure your A51 is a factory unlocked device, and a\your device is not from another carrier, that might be your issue. Not sure where you bought it, but just giving you the heads up in case

And many taking the opposite path:

I have to say my budget isn’t nearly that large…and I’m looking at the Pixel. I know a few folks with them and they generally love them.

I just realized the interaction/relationship between mouse/keyboard and the tablet goes beyond what I realized. Just a guess, but maybe it's related to one of the recent software updates?

Can someone describe what they can expect in the way the tablet allows the mouse/keyboard to behave, in comparison to things that may be done in Windows? The tablet limitations?

One example I find it that, in a Chrome Google search, I have no vertical scroll bars. "Sometimes"., sometimes not, I can gently press the left mouse button on the right side of the page, and scroll in the same fashion as if I was using my finger to scroll.

Another case is in my android settings, i.e., if I select "Connections', those settings are not in a subfolder, but in a panel to the right. The problem is, the keyboard on functions in the right panel. There is no way to select the settings categories with the keyboard. The mouse scroll button functions in that right panel, but not on the left. I did discover that when I hover the cursor over the righmost side of one of the category boxes, a very thin scroll button, about in inch long, appears.

Something kinda similar to that looks like it happens on the right side of the google search window. Ther's a sight protrusion, as if the mouse hover is unhiding a scrollbar, but whatever it is, it has no scroll function.

I haven't had tine to scout out more examples, but I'm suspect I will find some.

Just going by your description on what happened, a very offhand guess would be the internal storage media chip failed, triggering a boot loop and then eventually a complete failure.
When a smartphone gets stuck in a boot loop, the most common problem is the installed Android operating system can no longer be loaded into RAM when the phone is starting up. That Android OS resides on the internal storage so a software-based boot loop is due to something corrupted the OS enough that it can't be read from the internal storage, and a hardware-based boot loop would be due to something like the internal storage chip failing, or some other vital component on the logic board itself failing. In that case, the Android OS can't be accessed at all. The boot loop is just the phone trying to start up, but it can't access the OS so it just gets stuck in its boot up process.
A software-based boot loop is more common, with a hardware component failing not so common. But it can happen. But you it doesn't seem like you have a lot of options in this situation. You might want to take your phone to a trusted phone repair shop to have them look it over, but be sure to get estimates on pricing. It might not be worth spending money on this phone and you might want to look into buying a new one instead.

Regarding discharging the battery to 0%, that's typically a very bad practice with any smartphone battery. That might have been something to try with a Ni-Cad battery 15 years ago but battery technology and development with Ni-Cads has changed quite a bit since that time, so stop doing that.
For a smartphone, manually discharging it to 0% likely killed the battery. A typical Li-ion smartphone battery requires at least a 5% minimum charge to stay functional. For some better insight and factual info on this:

Of course, it's your choice. But you asked for advice, and everyone's advice is to take a backup.

(Some stuff you'll be able to back up wirelessly, which is another option if the power is too unstable for anything else).

That will depend on how many apps you have. It should not take too long..... probably a few minutes or so.

What has changed since you bought the phone?
Who is your provider / carrier?
You say your other devices are the same, meaning what? All are compromised?
Most likely your accounts would be hacked that are tied to your devices.

Google is YOUR friend...

what is your model number? where did you get the firmware from? do you have a link? are you sure you flashed the correct firmware for your device? firmware are VERY specific to the device. flashing the wrong one is not good.

if your mother board is fried u cannot recover any data in it just through it our and buy a new one

Thanks, it works

I would like to introduce my new online game Word Soccer. The principle of the game is to make more words from the available letters than your opponent in six rounds.
In each round you can also get a yellow card if you don't use each of the offered letters at least once, or your longest composed word is shorter than your opponent's longest word.
For each red card, you then lose one of the letters offered in the next round.
Primarily, the game should only take nouns, but the dictionary is unfortunately not yet fully fine-tuned as I'm not from an English-speaking country, but if there are problems, you can either double-tap the unrecognized word to suggest it be added to the dictionary, or conversely, you can double-tap a word that has been recognized by your opponent and shouldn't be to suggest it be removed from the dictionary.
