A51 accidently flashed the wrong firmware, now doesnt even boot into dowload

Given what you've posted, I think it's truly bricked and you're SOL. Unless you have the correct JTAG rig and software. JTAG is what the manufacturer uses for the initial firmware load on blank chips during production. .

Seems to be some A51 repair videos on YT covering this.

Apps on an Android 10 phone

Hadron
Qualcomm make the processors used in a large number of phones, so it's very likely that those apps are there for a reason.

com.qti is also qualcomm. Let's consider com.qti.ltebc: since "qti" is Qualcomm, and "lte" is "long-term evolution", i.e. the 4G network standard, I would strongly advise leaving things like that alone.

"tmobile" and "verizon"/"vzw" are US service providers - not sure why the phone would have apps from both.

I will give one bit of advice: don't remove any system apps unless you either have a nandroid backup (i.e. a backup made using a custom recovery) or know how to reflash to stock firmware (and know where to find a compatible firmware image). If you get this wrong the phone may not boot, so you need to have the means to recover it before you start fiddling. One of my top rules for root users is "take a nandroid before you change anything in the system, no matter how trivial).

Is my phone dead

just use it as an mp3 player. i use my note 4 when i go out for a walk with my dog. it still holds a charge for about an hour or so......just long enough for a couple of walks.

My Note 4 is giving me around 3-4hrs which I use it for testing. I think it has a custom rom on Android 9.

You should consider flashing the stock firmware since you already replaced the battery. If the problem persists after flashing the firmware, then you know it's hardware failure and can move on to another device.

Apps Help to make a video diary

Mohamed_Shamir said:
I'm have just started with Android development and please bear with me if I'm asking trivial questions. I wanted to create a video diary where a person can create video dairy for a day. He will be able to see the videos he recorded laterwards. Since storing the video in the phone is not a scalable option, I want to store it in some cloud storage and stream from there directly when the user wants to access it.

After doing some google searches, I have two ideas in my mind:

1. Use google drive with LibVlc. After uploading the videos to google drive API and then use LibVlc library to play the file directly.


2. Upload the video to youtube privately. And stream it from there using Youtube Data API.


Since I'm very new. I even don't know whether this would work or not and I really don't how I would be doing even using the above approaches. Any thoughts or comments on how I should proceed or is there a better way to do the task? Or any resources or ideas that I should look into.


Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks in Advance.

IF you do not have any followers or even massive people being your friend on youtube,it is automatic private account, I have around three of them, but I do not do much of talking into public different groups either,I keep everything on the download, and you can probably just upload those videos to your friend, and have them talk with you that way, that would of be the much easier way ontop of my head - instead of looping throughout the "LibVic" - drive only has two gigs by default, and you can not upload a video, maybe a five second video but that is about it! You can record and upload for that person a bit later on, and that person can drop you a video on his or hers own account.

how to look header in yaho mail?

Yeah the subject is inside the header, I have used yahoo for ages until some Massive ex-president's writer one of his campaign, made me suffer on a wave of a million emails of that,so I end up deleting that and that is the last time one of my former friends will ever get in touch with me, even though, we are never in touch, my girl cut my pinky in two after that massive day... I still feel that cut on my pinky, even though it is perfectly healed up. That was around when the Advengers End Game came out..

Google battery replacement - ebay content

svim
There's a nice, step-by-step guide on the ifixit site for your model:
https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Google+Pixel+2+Battery+Replacement/103334
but given the disdain in your posting you might find it better for your own peace of mind to just get an iPhone. Keep in mind that ebay battery is going to be really dated too, and even unused smartphone batteries age. It might possibly be able to hold a charge longer than the battery that's in your Pixel 2 but it's probably (not possibly) going to have a diminished overall use life. Batteries get old, that's just an unavoidable fact.

Help QuickMemo+ ?

Murf1 said:
I did an export of the items I have saved in QuickMemo+, but I cannot find it. Is QuickMemo+ an LG app? I'm thinking it is so wanted to export it so I could save the data (text) into some other app if I ever get an non-LG phone. Any ideas?
Thanks

I'm with you. I got Stylo. Didn't think much about it but took many notes on lock screen. Then started using it a lot. I have a lot of valuable stuff saved 9n it. I too never expected to have a nonLG phone. But they quit making them . I have a moto g stylus now & would really love to have all those Quickmemos on my new phone. I did transfer them all from Stylo 2 to 5 fine. Somebody has surely figured it out. One thing you can do is save each one as a long continuous pdf. Mine will allow that. But you lose any location/alarm stuff you set on the notes.

How can I increase data entry area in Samsung Messages SMS?

Hadron
Duckster said:
Again, it may not want to be the answer that you want to hear, but I am using a different program for texting called Textra. It is pretty good, but if I need to send a large attachment sometimes I have to switch to messages.
Click to expand...
Attachments are different anyway. Textra does SMS and MMS, but MMS is about the worst way to send any sort of media (limited files sizes, poor image resolution, and here in the UK it's also stupidly expensive - ironic, since SMS have been effectively free for a very long time).

If "Messages" means Google's app, does that mean you are using RCS to send them? If so it does rely on the other person being able to receive RCS too (far from a given: only a few message apps support RCS, not all networks, and of course only Android phones). Once you get beyond SMS/MMS we're stuck with the problem of both parties needing to use the same system, and while the idea had been that RCS would solve that as a universal, built-in standard the reality is that that hasn't worked (because it requires effort from the networks and because Apple refuse to support it as it would mean that iMessage would no longer be able to lock Apple customers in).

The honest truth is that if I have a significant attachment to sent I'll use email anyway. ;)

Get .so files from existing APK

James_Watson
GameTheory said:
If all you're trying to do is get the ".so" files from within the apk, then change the apk extension from ".apk" to ".zip" and extract it like any zip archive. Then grab the ".so" files you need. An apk is just a zip archive with a ".apk" extension.

If it's something else you're trying to do, then give us more details to better understand.
Click to expand...
Right. A .so file is a shared library(shared object). After unzipping an .apk file, you can find one or more .so files if there is any shared library in that app.

Everything 5G Is Trash

I have no idea what the IP would be, or the password.
Click to expand...

It should be in the documentation that came with your router, the same admin that sets the SSID and PSK password.

Does your WiFi come from a router you don't have admin access to, e.g. WiFi is provided by a landlord, or the router is rented from an ISP, or you're in a hotel. etc.?

Just nothing to do with computers since the Commodore 64.
Click to expand...

I still use a Commodore 64. :D Well a modern version C64 Mini, I bought from TaoBao.

As I've already posted, you don't need a computer to configure a router admin via WiFi. It can be done by pretty much any smart-phone or tablet, as long as it has a browser.
