Actually...u r wrong. I just busted a Moto G Stylus last night, that had unlocked bootloader, full root, custom ROM, custom boot logo, custom boot animation and was running a modified retus stock ROM. I've also got a Moto E that has the same things done just different animations and roms. JS...

Samsung Grand Prime Plus out memory always

Zahid Ehsan said:
Hi,
I have 2 devices,
Samsung Grand prime plus (6.0.1 android)
Samsung Tab E 560 (4.4.4)
Both have 32 GB cards, my tablet is storing all new apps in card but my phone is storing everything in phone. I have tried best but every time its out of storage. I cannot update software cause there is no enough memory.
While in tab I have no such issue. I guess with software upgrade I should get more facilities but its actually downgrading.
can I fix my phone and store everything in SD card?

Samsung Galaxy 4 Classic LTE Watch

corellc said:
Device is a Samsung Galaxy 4 Classic LTE watch, which is a stand-alone watch; can receive and make calls, has GPS without the Cell Phone.

QUESTION: If this watch is miles away from the it’s paired Cell Phone, and it’s paired number is the same as the cell, would a GPS tracking report of the phone number reflect the Watch location or the Cell Phone location? In other words can GPS tracking differentiate between the tracking of the Cell Phone and its “paired Galaxy 4 Classic LTE” watch?
Click to expand...
yes. it can tell the difference. gps is not necessarily tied to a phone number. it is tied to the gps radios built into your phone and watch.

Rooting To Get Rid of UK Emergency Alerts ?

ocnbrze
fourthway said:
Cheers .... what I am looking for is a way to have an OS that does not have the option to turn on or off the alerts ... simply that they are not possible.
Is that possible ?
Is there a developer that has created an OS without this functionality ?
I am thinking of getting a new phone so would buy one which is compatible without any new OS.
Thanks
Click to expand...
nope not possible. whatever phone you get, you will have to root it. do your research first before you buy a new phone. like i said earlier not all phones are rootable.

not all phones have a development community. developers are the ones who know how to root phones. they also make custom roms(custom operating systems) as well as a custom recovery(mostly TWRP).

head on over here:https://forum.xda-developers.com/

xda is where most developers hangout. pick a phone and see if there is forum for it. if there is one then check to see if the forum is active or not. if there is no forum, then your phone does not have a dev community to support the phone.

Looking for a good call recorder app

The_Chief
I agree - that's important!

Here in the State of Tennessee call recording is legal as long as one party on the call is aware of it (that's me). Of course, if I call a business and the automated greeting says, "this call may be recorded for quality assurance purposes", that expresses intent to record and implies consent for me to record it, too.

Again, though, is the problem of getting a call recording app to work.

Root (help) xiaomi stuck in between bootloader and twrp. no idea what to boot

H
my problem is that :
this phone does not have vendor partition which i deleted cause i thought it blocks installations of other ROMs than stock. twrp also probably is bad one cause redmi go is 64bit phone but i can load only 32bit OSes from there (error 255). Most OSes found online were always stuck at boot or even were bootlooping/shutting down device/blackscreen.
why i do not want to install stock? mainly i dont want g-apps and when removing them from stock i had more bugs than next to a lake in warm day. literally - couldnt install apps due to lack of core package related to google play services (as far i remember it was forcing google play's antivirus on every local install), had more problems with calls/sms/wifi than before (losing signal, undelivered content, etc) and was this slow like almost unusable so i just NEED custom rom. second thing i want is just root but its a smaller problem cause this i can install anywhere.
i also dont want to lock back this phone from "encryption unsuccessful" cause i also was affected by this bug + i dont want relocking bootloader
my desktop with android tools runs slackware linux so installation of any .exe apps for any official xiaomi installer or scripts surely UNAVAILABLE. plain adb+fastboot+etc...
any ideas?
someone maybe have a currently working set of vendor, twrp and system partition? i dont care about android version number btw, any custom rom, really...
btw - i deal with this phone for over year

S22 Ultra Config Files?

C
It may be possible to re-activate the S-Pen feature by accessing the configuration file through Windows. Here are some steps you can try:
  1. Connect your phone to your computer using a USB cable.
  2. Open the File Explorer on your computer and select your phone.
  3. Locate the configuration file responsible for the S-Pen settings and make a backup copy.
  4. Edit the configuration file using a text editor such as Notepad and look for the line that governs the S-Pen feature.
  5. Change the value for the S-Pen feature from "disabled" to "enabled" or vice versa.
  6. Save the changes to the configuration file and close the text editor.
  7. Disconnect your phone from the computer and restart it.
Please note that the exact location and name of the configuration file may vary depending on the brand and model of your phone, and that editing system files can have unintended consequences if not done correctly. If you are unsure of how to proceed, it may be best to seek help from a professional technician or the manufacturer of your phone.

phone permanent charge

B
Thanks so much everybody for your advice.
I am so surprised at your interest. Thank you.
The full story is that I am running a doorcam monitoting system called Doorbird. It's operated from my S20 phone. I would like a couple more permanent dedicated screens around. Doorbird sells these at £450 each !!!
I am using an old Samsung tablet P600 and an old S8 phone which are quite happily showing the live doorcam all the time 24-7.
My query to you all was whether keeping them on charge all the time 24-7 is harmful. Thanks for all the advice.

Fatality: 2022

rootabaga
This one snuck (painfully) by: the comedian Gallagher died from multiple organ failure last November. He was 76.

I enjoyed his antics and many of his word-play riffs were impressive. (I got to see him in person once when I lived in Phoenix…luckily I was outside the splatter zone.)

RIP, Gallagher, and thanks for all the entertainment.

Knox activation button is disabled

Why are you trying to remove IPv6 modules? I don't see any benefit and it could break things, so doesn't seem worth the risk to me .
Click to expand...

Thank you for detailed answer! I followed all your advices: created backup with TWRP and now downloading ROM zip file. I will edit it on PC.


Yes, I am afraid to crash my system. But I want to delete ipv6 module because I found some strange activity in my local network. I found that I use 40GB per mounth. It's too much, I only read a few article per day. And lost my battery very fast. I think, ipv4 is enough for me and more safe for my smartphone.

Now I search where ipv6 can be phisically located in system files.

I understood that at first, I need reset system in TWRP (complitelly delete all system files) and after that push "Install" button and choose my custom zip file with edited ROM. So..I will try:)

Factory Reset Protection

mavigozler said:
I'm a firm believer in all the anecdotes that the FRP doesn't stop the thieves: they connect the phone to adb.exe with extra code and somehow wipe out the FRP component of the system software--I used to toy with that in the days when you could and people were motivated to root the phone.

The only thing it does is catch the legal owner of the device off guard when he does a reset and forgets what he needs to do recover/rebuild after the reset.
Click to expand...
that can't be done anymore using adb. there is no program that can do this. plus in order for adb to work you would need usb debugging enabled and most regular folks would not know what that is.

FRP is a very good security protocol as you are finding out. i do understand that it does hurt that very small percentage of people who forgets their account info.

the only thing i can think of is contacting motorola. Samsung has said that you can take any samsung phone into a samsung service center and as long as you can show proof of ownership, they will unlock the phone. maybe Moto has something similar.

Anyone else getting scam calls from "AT&T Support" on their home phone?

nickdalzell
That's what makes it funny. Granny Edna is my favorite Kit character. Even though the same voice is used for Dawn DeWitt, Paula and many others. Same personality, same obsession with the mailman, etc.

When he goes full cosplay with the dress and wig, he looks a lot like Thelma Harper (Carol Burnett Show "The Family" and subsequent spin-off Mama's Family)
