Hiding root status is safe or not?

What do you mean by "safe"?

If a device is rooted then user-installed apps can run with admin privileges. This means for example that another app can access the banking app's data - that's why they regard this as a security risk and won't run if they detect that the phone is rooted.

Rooting is double-edged as far as security goes. It gives you more capabilities & more control, so if you know what you are doing you can add protections you couldn't without it. But it also bypasses some built-in protections, and if you are careless and install some malware it can do things it wouldn't otherwise be able to. Personally I'd say that if you are not knowledgeable about this stuff and prepared to be vigilant (one or other by itself is not enough) you are safer not rooting.

Whatsapp Web via mobile internet modem

Hi!

I recently got a mobile 4G Modem as my main internet connection due to moving to a more rural area. The internet coverage is great, everything works. download free ringtone at: https://ringtonesfree.info/

BUT. The modem fails to run whatsapp web, when both - PC and phone are connected to it. When refreshing the web page on the PC, it says "Trying to reach phone. Make sure your phone has an active internet connection."
When only PC is connected to the modem, but the phone is using it's own data - everything works flawlessly. Mp3 ringtones download at: phoneringtones.info

The provider doesn't see any problems on their end.

So, has anyone had the same problem? Are there any suggestions to try?
Of course, I have tried to restart all my devices. Android ringtones: https://klingeltonemp3.info/

MMS VCF problem in message app in S7

I am trying to send contacts vcf file as mms from galaxy S7 to another S7, but it appears as text file instead of vcf file in message app even though send as mms option is selected. The message app displayed vcf file in the format below. Due to this, contacts cannot be saved directly.

Begin: Vcard
Version:...
N:...
FN:Tel:0400..
End: Vcard

Has anyone ever see these symptoms before and / or know if there is anything I can do to diagnose / fix the problem.

Thanks in advance.

Help no command after installing TWRP

That doesnt work. I have already tried.

Appears the following options:

reboot system now,
apply update from ADB
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update form cache

And in my opinion is because the TWRP app, is not installed or at least there is no record in the mobile of the TWRP. I dont know why.


Any other alternative app to TWRP?

Thanks
I know this is an old thread, but just in case you still need help (and to help anyone else..) There is another recovery, but it sounds like there's an issue with the TWRP install. I would wipe the cache and install a different TWRP version via adb. There are also computer programs that can do all this and more if you can get it to recognise your device. That's been a lifesaver for me in the past.

Hope you got it figured out!

Help MailDroid is not syncing periodically

I've purchased MailDroid Pro to connect to my email account via IMAP. I've also excluded the app from battery optimization and don't have data cap set up on my smartphone (Galaxy S9+ on Android 9.0, no root).

When I have the app set to stay connected in Connection Management, then notifications are working fine. However, I'd rather prefer MailDroid to check mailbox every 10 minutes, so I set up some rules to synchronize periodically (the interval at the bottom defines the frequency of checks I suppose?) - see the picture.

Once I do that, I usually get only the first message in those 10-15 minutes, after more time (e.g. 30 mins) I'm not receiving notifications for further emails. I need to open the app and refresh to download a new email. Do you have an idea what the reason is?

Tasker to gather gps location of target phone

No, you can't. The "target" phone must have software on it that is set up to respond to a particular request with a text containing its location. If you could just send a request to any phone and it would respond with its location that would be a massive security hole, and anyone who released a phone with that built in would be out of business 5 minutes after it was discovered.

If the person you want to locate agrees to this there are many apps you can use to share location with you.

Gas or Charcoal Grillin' ?

My father soaked his charcoal in kerosene so everything we ate tasted like a 1953 Studebaker :) Propane was a great upgrade in flavor.
Charcoal from a chimney produces a good cook. Propane or natural gas just makes it easy. I never belch propane like a do charcoal flavor.
i agree. i actually use a charcoal starter made out of straw that i bought from an Ace hardware store. there is no chemicals it burns a good long time and gets the coals hot fairly quickly.

i actually miss weber charcoal grill. this one had a propane tank where the propane was used only to light the coals. no need for chemicals or anything to get the coals going. it eventually just got worn out. where the seal could not hold the propane anymore and parts from weber were expensive. i also lost the lid while taking it to a picnic and ordering one was ridiculously expensive.

Dual SIM

I've been trying to understand how Dual Sim works on S10

i. Can you set which one is the 'primary' SIM?

ii. Will it switch to the SIM with the strongest data signal - or do you have to do this manually. or can it be programmed to switch across when there is no data signal on the 'main/ SIM care.

Duplicate apps in settings>apps

I disagree and I don't know that much but I can tell you to look in your file system and see if they all start with "com." And if so I can only tell you my experience and continuing problem I have yet to solve. Missing media,altered applications,being locked out of my accounts,even devices them selves. factory reset wouldn't be a bad idea if u know the original Google account used or are prepared to be able to bypass a Google device lock but as far as move on I do not agree
