Ah, autocorrect strikes again :

Things don't "attach themselves" to any apps (well ad scripts can lodge in browser caches, but that's about it). An app that contains malware or adware contained it when it was downloaded.

Just saw this phone on Verizon's lineup now as a budget level smartphone. Honestly, besides its terrible screen resolution and iffy battery, the chipset itself isn't that bad, it's what I had in my old Moto E4 and it was pretty snappy on AOSP.

If anyone has one of these, let me know how it performs for you. Granted, I'm not expecting miracles, but perhaps the OS isn't as bloated as I'm thinking it is. Either way though, perhaps we can try some methods to get the bootloader unlocked and get root privileges. I know it's a Verizon phone and the chances are low, but it's worth a shot considering the Orbic Wonder worked...

If you host the apk yourself you will have to convince your users (and walk them through how) to set up their phone for installing external apps...which may be different for each phone, and their phone may warn them against. Amazon does it for installing their app store on any android device though. You can check out how they handle it here...
https://www.amazon.com/androidapp

Turn on 2 factor authentication for your Gmail account and disallow any device that you don't want to have access. Then even if someone knows your password it will ask you (on your phone) for permission before granting access. Change your password as well. And periodically check whether other devices have been given access (possible if someone has access to your phone).

If you really think there may be spyware involved you should reset your phone as well (as long as it isn't rooted or really old, pre 6.0, in which case that might not be enough). Be careful not to change password and then reset though: that can look like the phone has been stolen and get you locked out for a few days.

But you've really not explained why you think this, at least not in a way I can understand. So all of this may be overkill.

Can't comment on odd noises on BT headphones - could just be a connection issue for all we can tell.

ok😊 Thanks for your reply

So, anybody tried it? I'd like to hear your thoughts.

It's a message app, either SMS or some Internet messaging service (probably not WhatsApp as that appears to be open in the screenshot).

Very hard to be more specific as there are dozens of them and the icons are all very similar. But does it matter which? The person who sent that screenshot had received a message of some sort from someone, that's all it will tell you no matter which app it is.

Every so often when i unlock my phone the internet pops open even though i closed all apps before locking.

I think we may have a terminology issue here!

'The Internet' is a global network of millions of computers communicating with each other. I don't see how that could pop up on your phone.

Do you perhaps mean an Internet browser, such as Chrome or Firefox? Or maybe an Internet app that's on your phone?

Or could you be referring to the icon that appears when your phone connects to a Wi-Fi network? Or data network...?

If you can be a little more specific, we'll be better able to help. A screenshot would be great.

without a firmware you can flash, there is not much you can do. it would help to know what tablet you have exactly. maybe go to the manufacturer's website and see if they offer a firmware you can download and flash.

it's alright

I have not listen to any podcasts at all, be brutally honest, there is far too many out there to even list.
Even by a certian ammount of gandera's going by such and such, honestly call me crazy but I rather just do not listen
to other people talk.

I was wondering if anyone knew what app the notification icon nearest the time in one of the screenshots and nearest the three dots in the other is.

Thank you for your assistance.

try clearing cache for your email app

That didn't work. Both emails pop up.

Check that you haven't got the Repeat One Song option turned on in your music player. On the stock Samsung music player it switches between Repeat One Song, Repeat All Songs, and No Repeat.

I assume you have no access to WiFi, since otherwise that would address the "no data left" issue.

As Moody says, when you click "install" on the Play Store website that will initiate a remote install to the phone via the phone's internet connection. If the phone is not connected to the internet nothing will happen, and connecting the phone to the PC via USB will not connect the phone to the internet.

But have you checked the settings of your phone's camera app (which BTW will probably be the default Alcatel camera app rather than a default Android camera app). I find it really unlikely that anyone would design a camera app that always has a countdown (especially the main camera, but probably not even the selfie camera - I've certainly never met such a thing), so I'd guess that there is something in that app's settings that would change this behaviour.

That's not a Thing Which Can Be Done.

You should review the fingerprint HAL documentation that I shared in your other thread:

One can surely see there can be a option of loop hole where fingerprint match asks for system stored ,Is'nt it?

Click to expand...

I'm not quite sure what you're asking. The fingerprint data only exists within that TEE, and it can't be accessed externally - by the OS, an application, or the user. Nothing on the phone knows anything about the fingerprint data except the TEE.

When you scan a fingerprint to log in, that data goes straight to the TEE to compare against the recorded known-good values. If it matches, the TEE returns 'true'; if not, it returns 'false'. The OS/app/user doesn't know anything beyond that boolean response.

Are they still making comics?

Click to expand...

yes it officially ended, i think in July. not sure as i have not read them. i just remember seeing that there was some controversy on how they decided to end it.

@lunatic59 It shows up on all videos, I posted this on Reddit as well and someone there mentioned to turn off quick gestures (motion sense) to "Skip Song" and this has so far fixed the issue for me.

@dontpanicbobby that was just a random YouTube video I pulled up to show the issue in the top right where when the video is in fullscreen all icons on the top bar fade away as normal except for the battery icon. It would persist over the video and become an eye sore.

ocnbrze said:

huh? that's weird. did you give the phone to someone? maybe a prank? did you download any apps recently? is that the only time you see the logo? can you post a picture of it?

Click to expand...

Yesterday I restarted my phone to take the logo's photo it wasn't showing the logo and and below the Mi logo it was written android then I powered off and powered on it wasn't showing android below the mi logo and apple logo was appearing.

Yeah, thanks for the answer. I will go to these shops, where you can test headphones.

And i made a plan how to get the right source(s).

Just a guess but that combination looks like this Cross Platform development package. Maybe they have a mobile version or module?

Hi

I'm developing an native android app, using c/c++.
I use cmake to construct my project for android studio.
But when I try to open the project with Android Studio,
It immediately outputs an error like this

I tried to do lots of things to fix this one, such as reinstalling Android Studio, rebuilding project, Invalidate Cache and Restart, and so on.

Sometimes, I managed to made it work. But after a few of days from that, It's made an error like above again.

Can Anybody know how to fix, or how to trace this bug on IDE?

Thanks in advance.

Check your app's permissions. Basically a given app or game shouldn't need any more permissions that what it requires to perform it's function, e.g. a flashlight app, should only have the permission to turn the camera flash LED on, and nothing else.

Its different number after calls.
