PDF Extract return garbage

Hi James - I opened pdf in MS office that also returns garbage then I copy the text from original inpage file then use a site to convert into Unicode, paste in word and further save as pdf. This time I am able to read it but while reading it breaks one word into 1, 2 or 3 letters so still unreadable. Attached is the pic

It could be the problem is with this "Inpage". I don't know this software, but it could be it's having issues with Urdu and Arabic, i.e. non-Latin characters.

You could try using MS Office? As that can export documents to PDF, and definitely supports non-Latin characters, like Arabic, Chinese, Mongolian, etc.

[FREE GAME] Candies Nightmare

Nice game to kill some time. Good graphics and no permissions to play it. No ADs showed while playing the game (not enforced yet?).

You start in a dark room with limited, around the character, circular field of view. Walk around the house and check cabinets and items on the walls for hidden clues and candies.

PRO
Good graphics
Fast performance (on a Xiaomi Redmi Note 10S)
Touch responsive (you can walk or you can run and footsteps adapt (loud or quiet)
Easy to understand the game and easy to control the physics of it
Once the bear "gets you", there is no carnage nor gore images

CON
Bear is too fast and you can't escape nor hide once he spot you
Field of view (the circle around the character) is too narrow for my taste (you don't see the bear until it is right next to you)
I couldn't hear the bear's footsteps to give me a hint that it was close to me

SUGGESTIONS
Increasing the "field of view" of the character so you can spot the bear before is too late or add footsteps for the bear once he is close
Once you use your 3 lives, you are done and have to start from new . A "Continue" (even if it is watching a 10-30 sec. AD) would be nice.

Good luck and good game. Reminds me of the Granny game but in a dark environment and without the ugly Granny :)

My max finding was 2 candies.

Running a pre-made script with adb shell commands

3 yrs ago i wrote this code and i used to execute it easily on the android screen. Now I feel defeated since i cannot remember anything on how to run this SCRIPT using adb shell so that it creates a loop inside my Android Samsung's phone screen to make a certain loop. Can you please help this is the code

`#Enter your adb location
> cd /c/adb
array=( "Text" "test2" "test3" "test4" "test5"

)

for element in ${array[@]} do
echo
Add: $element ./adb shell input text $element sleep 2 ./adb shell input tap 112 402 sleep 2 ./adb shell input tap 388 546 sleep 2 done

echo "Finished"`

I tried so hard but in the end it didnt even matter

Help Recover memo notes

My friend wants to recover memo notes she deleted yesterday on her Android Marshmallow. There is no "archive" in the upper left corner, no cloud backup, etc.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot!
If you have not backed it up in any other place, then you need to use Data Recovery software (you need to pay for it). But remember that it will only be possible if it has not been overwritten with the new files.

Help Promblem with connecting to IKEV2 vpn server from android devices

Hello
We are facing problem with connecting android devices to our VPN server.
Also iOS devices do not have any problems to connect.
Android devices trying to connect via StrongSwan official app from google play. And iOS from system settings.
VPN server based on StrongSwan+Charon
We tried to make a dump from vpn server and found the difference between successful and unsuccessful connections
- In success: server receives SPI key, and respond with Responder SPI key and connection successful
- In failure: server receives SPI key, but respond with empty Responder SPI key and connection failure with "INVALID_KE_PAYLOAD" error

Screenshot of success server response (connecting from iOS device):

Screenshot of failure server response (connecting from Android device):

Also dump files .pcap we also have for failure and success connections, if it will help to suggest solution
We do not know how to fix this, maybe you can help us with this problem, or say what we need to read?

New App Idea for Security

There are several applications available for Android and iOS devices that can factory reset a phone without requiring a confirmation, password, or passcode. These apps can typically be found in app stores or online and may have different features and capabilities depending on the device and operating system. However, you should be careful while using these apps as they can also erase all personal data, including contacts, messages, and apps, and it can't be undone.

S22 Ultra cannot send MMS/photos

Oh that's awesome to hear!!
We bought my wife the S22 Ultra and tried to get it ready 2 days before Christmas for her so she could take pictures that morning. But the MMS broke and we could not figure it out at all! We tried EVERYTHING that people here suggested: clearing cache, rebooting, delete messages, APN reset, network reset, all kinds of things....
When it worked for her, we thought... let's see what happens on the other phones.
EVERYONE got an upgrade for Christmas. So the S22 Ultra, S22+ and S22 all had the same problem. In fact, after the S22 Ultra was fixed. When we started the other phones, the Ultra could no longer send to the 22+, 22 and iphone!
My wife said "Must be the same issue".
I did the MMS Block on the other 3 phones.... and my wife could text them all again from the Ultra. And the other phones can text OUT.

We said we have GOT to put this on a forum so people try this. I can't imagine how many people get new S22x phones, and have this problem!!! Verizon would be smart to just say go re-set the blocking....
or automatically do it for customers or something. I mean, my wife was in TEARS with frustration not getting it to work.

Glad this fixed your issue!

Oh wow, this fixed the problem with my S22 Ultra, too! Verizon even went so far as to send me a WHOLE NEW PHONE when their tech support couldn't determine the issue a few weeks ago, like the phone itself was broken? But when the new device had the same exact inability to send and receive picture messages over text, I went digging once again and found your answer. Thank you SO MUCH for finding the solution and sharing it with everyone, this takes so much aggravation off my plate.

[FREE GAME] Build a Snowman - hardcore logical game

Hi, I just finished my hardcore logical game called Build a Snowman.
You can download it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.raiper34.buildasnowman

Build a Snowman is a hardcore logical game, where the main task is to merge 2 parts of the snowman's body.

It sounds like a very easy task, but it is not! You control both parts at the same time, and you need to use blocks to stop one snowman part and avoid fire. Fire is deadly for snowmen! There are also locked doors with keys and even portals in advanced levels. Still, sounds like an easy task? I understand, that yes, but do not wait and test your brain during Christmas evenings!

The game contains winter, green and Mexican worlds with 30 hardcore levels. Let's build a snowman and not get anger issues!

S22 link to windows Malware prob

Hello man, I work as a web designer and am not happy to hear that. Unfortunately, some months ago, I got malware too. I got a message saying I got an update, but it wasn't, in fact, a real update. I tried restarting it, but it didn't help, and I even tried a factory reset, but it didn't help me as well. But, being lucky, I came upon Reddit windows key. I like this site because it provides genuine windows keys and is cheap. I suggest you make a factory reset, and if it doesn't work, try to use a windows key.

Help Samsung Note 8 (sm-n950n) not turning on, and not charging after trying update the firmware

With Samsung devices, the recommended way to flash firmware is with the Odin or the Heimdall utility. If the first time failed, try flashing it again. If that works out then you should be good to go, but if it fails, come back here and post the text of the entire resulting log results.
Is your friend sure they used the correctly matching ROM? ROMs are very model specific so flashing the incorrect version will often result in a boot loop or a complete fail. Flash using the correct ROM should fix that.
