"Confirm: A read report will be sent" on MMSs from one contact

Happy to help, but my issue remains unresolved.

EDIT: I just tried to revive my Galaxy S4 Mini, and it works, but the pop-up still happens when she sends me a MMS photo. I found out it's definitely how my phone is handling RCS messages since on hers she can see them show 'delivered' 'sent' and 'seen' when she sends me messages, and hers shows a typing indicator if I'm typing one out. When she sends MMS, the phone interprets the message in two ways: both as an 'urgent' (shows a ! next to envelope symbol in notification area) and confirms the 'read/seen' status on her phone via a read receipt. Annoying as all get out but something I suppose I have to live with.

TIL: the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini (Verizon Variant) is VoLTE compatible. Who knew?

How do I transfer my blocked numbers list?

I use the Google phone app, so no matter what device I am logged into using the Google phone app, will also have my blocked phone numbers on it automatically. No list needed.
I also use Calls Blacklist Pro, which can generate a blocked caller list in text format.
Again, if I use this app on a different device, my blocked numbers are automatically transferred, no list needed.
So, OP... What app are you using?
Hmmmm?

Help Trouble Accessing Old Tablet

The dead android and red triangle is recovery mode. On some devices you have to press some buttons or button combination from there to get the actual recovery menu (don't ask me why - it's not as if you are going to get into recovery mode by mistake). So try pressing power, volume keys or both together (or of course a web search for the trick to get the recovery menu in that model).

One positive about it being so old is that it won't have factory reset protection, so you won't need to remember the Google login credentials you used with it after a reset, it will just be like a never used before device. As svim says above, you may even be able to recover data deleted from it.

If you used to use ADB (USB debugging) with it and left that enabled you might be able to connect and back up data that way. You wouldn't with a modern tablet: you'd have to have authorised the particular computer you were using beforehands, but old ones were less secure. Of course you won't be able to enable it now if it's not done already, and there is some risk that the software will be so old that adb backup won't work, but if you have used adb with it before it might be worth a try.

Help Why would a group text message get sent to each person individually rather than as part of the group

Hi all. There is a group chat going between my mom, my sister, and me. My mom responded with a text, but somehow it went to me and my sister separately, i.e. it went to the text message thread of just my mom and me on my phone, and the thread for my sister and my mom on my sister's phone. My mom's phone shows that it went to the group chat though! Other texts seem to be going to the group chat normally so far.

Any reason something like this might happen?

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.
