Root Format Write-protected Encrypred SD card

Svim - Sure I will try to get a warranty replacement.
When I try to format on Android Phone - I am getting this error: command '13 volume partition disk:179,64 private failed with '400 13 command failed. 13 keeps changing to a different number.

Does Gparted let you create a new partition table? That will wipe everything, but I don't know if it works with write protection on.

Or in Windows
1. Open a command prompt then type:
DISKPART
2. To find the disk number of the SD card type:
LIST DISK
3. Select your SD card, if it's disk #3 type:
SELECT DISK 3
4. To clear read only type:
ATTR DIS CLEAR READONLY
Kate - I will try and reply.

Repurpose Straight Talk Phone?

Yep Yep, all correct.

$40 tablet for the kids running Oreo ;) Runs Real Racing 3 beautifully. Qualcomm/Snapdragon, quad core, 2GB mem, 16GB built in and you can add 32GB SDCard.

Pulled the sim before installing the battery then went through it disabling all the crapware and installed an app locker.

Note: Deny permissions to "Wi-Fi Utility" over and over until you get the "remember this decision" options. It's a data collection app that uses wi-fi, cell, and Bluetooth to constantly attempt connecting to anything and everything in range then sends that data back to whoever.

Jetaudio problem with GPS

Hello,

I have the jetaudio + 9.9.0 for android on my Samsung s8 which give entire satisfaction except 1 thing

I start the music and that's work very fine but when i start a gps program at the same time with sound like ( google map, waze , tom tom , mazda gps car ) i have the sound also but when the message is finished the sound does not come back to the jetaudio player

I cannot have the 2 sound together working ( 1 after the other )

Is this something that we can solve in the settings (so many settings ) ,am i the only one, a known bug ?

Many thanks for your help

Am I hacked?

There is a Samsung system app called "bootagent", so as you have a Samsung phone that doesn't sounds like anything to panic over.

You'll need to tell us more about the bluetooth apps for anyone to make a judgement there.

You never get calls? That might be a sign of a problem, but not necessarily with the phone (network coverage, not hearing the ringer, or certain junk calls deliberately disconnect immediately in the hope you'll phone them back).

The bottom line is that we need more information in order to help, but it's not clear from what you've posted whether you really have a problem. And being "hacked" is actually a very low probability event, so it's best to consider other explanations first.

Oneplus 6T to Oneplus 7T

Guys, planning to buy the 7T or 7T Pro. What are your thoughts???? and is there an OP7T Pro in the first place?
Until the official announcements begin on the 7T series in about a week's time on the 26th September for the standard model and the 10th October for the 7T Pro, it is still speculation as to spec's, prices and which countries will receive which 7T models and when. See...

Whatsapp phishing attempt

This morning I've had two texts allegedly from Whatsapp with a code for 2 factor authentication. The first was from a UK mobile (cell) number, and the second had a Whatsapp logo displayed by the text message. Naturally I deleted both of them as I don't use Whatsapp, and it's not installed on my phone.

I also had a voice calll saying '"Your Authorization code is 999999" with no clue what it was referring to. I blocked the number.

As 2FA is coming to UK banks and other online transactions soon, be aware of these ,maybe not so obvious, scam calls and texts.

This one's a doozy!

Ocnbrze, I did as you advised. Put my phone in safe mode, and it's still happening. I'm going to clear data but have a question. If I clear all data and cache, won't this make me lose all my bookmarks? And if so, would it be better to delete the app and re-install? I can't believe I'm the only one who has had this problem. Thanks for.your help thus far.
if you have your bookmarks in chrome then you are all good. those are saved not sure about other browsers however.

Poblano VLE5

I use this phone for calls only. Everytime I'm on it for a couple of minutes it disconnects. I couldn't figure out why but then I finally did and it goes to airplane mode. Why? I called my bank and had to put my card number in and Everytime I looked at my card when I went to type the numbers it went to a screen I called from. Basically I had to go back tap the phone number wait for the dial screen to enter. It disconnected and guess why. Airplane mode. This is a bunch of crap

Help How to Root Nova 3?

Hello everyone!
I need to root my Nova 3 because I can't satisfy my default device. I want to customize my device as my wish but I don't know anything about android rooting. So can anyone tell me is that safe to root my device and is it legal to root an Android device?
tbh next time if you want to root your device, pick a device that can be rooted. looks like huawei has decided to lock the bootloader and devs are having a hard time unlocking it. i guess in the past huawei used to give out a unlock code, but not any more.

so doing some research for you, i found this thread:
DEV Bootloader unlock development
if you read the thread, which i suggest that you do, you will find that the bootloader is locked and that there is a website that you will have to pay to get your phone unlocked. a few posts says that the website might be shady, but they were able to get their phone unlocked thru the website.

this is the website they were commenting on:
https://ministryofsolutions.com/huawei-bootloader-unlock-paid-service-html

now unlocking the bootloader is just the first step. the next step you will need to do is install either
1. SuperSu APK
or
2. Magisk which is the newer and prefered method to gain root.

normally once you gained root the next step is to get twrp. twrp is a custom recovery and is an essential tool for root users. twrp will allow you to make a nandroid backup (it is like a save point in a video game, it backs everything including your data just in case something goes wrong), flash custom roms among other things.

unfortunately twrp is not made for your device, so you can't back anything up. as you said you wanted to root to customize your device. this most likely means that you plan on deleting things. just be careful of what you delete. if you plan on deleting system apps, some are so tied in that you delete one thing, then it mess up another thing. it could make your phone useless.....and you most likely need to reflash a new firmware which in turn will unroot the device and you will have to start all over and root it again.

so you see there is a lot going on. rooting is not that simple. i really suggest that you do a lot of reading and researching this.

head on over to xda for most of your research. they are the best result for all things root related.
hear is the main forum for your device:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nova-3

this is the subforum for rooting:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nova-3/development

any questions feel free to ask.

just one more thing, please read and do your research before doing any of this. main thing is be prepared;)

Samsung Galaxy J7 call issues

if you are on cdma network, you might want to try and see if you need to update and prl profiles

if those do not work then you might need to factory reset the phone. sometimes with updates, especially big ones like the pie update, you might get a bad download or a bad install. factory resetting the phone should reset the phone correctly. if you are still having issues then it could be a hardware issue.

List of GBoard voice commands?

Did you EVER get an answer to your original question? I read and understood it, and am looking for the same info.
Nope, never did. You have to let the phone teach you :(
I don't use Gboard, and I don't use voice commands, but I find this absolutely ridiculous! Incredible, really. :eek:

It's such an obvious...thing! How can Google just omit it from its documentation? You're really just stuck throwing commands at it and hoping one sticks? :thinking:
