I remember that from a few years ago. My understanding is that it could be used to root almost any device, with no special requirements. Is it still available? Would it work on a Samsung or a Stylus?

your sammy most likely has a locked bootloader. what is your exact model number of your phone? have you looked over at xda? that is the place you want to go for info on how to root any device.

Help Remove "hidden" account without factory reset

A
Hadron said:
Maybe the company did that as part of their setup?

I always put a "If found please contact xxxx@yyyy" message on my lockscreen as a precaution (where the email address is not the Google account used with the phone).

Entirely possible.

I've now changed it :) to my personal email (again no suggestion of the Google account used).

Roll back googoo

Rgarner said:
I'm trying to put this new Samsung A20s(?) on a diet. I'm looking for things I can remove, shut down, etc. When I checked out that googoo stuff I wasn't surprised that it's not removable, but at least it can be rolled back to an earlier, presumably less bloaty, version. I hesitate only because it means data removal, although it's probably nothing important. Also, I've noticed a lot of things such as Outlook, which I believe are Microsoft. Do I need any of these or should I delete or otherwise incapacitate them?
Click to expand...

Yeh, Microsoft has a partnership $$$ with Samsung. If you're not using their apps, suggest you remove them.

I have a Samsung phone myself, so I kept Onedrive and Outlook. as I use those apps and services.

No file transfer

JRioux
As I said, I have the same problem with my Tab 5e. I also have an S10e. Anyway, I have found a solution.

Use Samsung's DeX mode.
1. Install the DeX software on your PC (from www.samsungdex.com).
2. Run Dex on both the PC and phone (choose DeX from the quick settings screen).
3. Your phone will be a new window on your PC.
4. I was then able to transfer files between my PC and phone. I used TotalCommander, but other ways should work.

Bandwidth-limit Android's HotSpot ???

mikedt
I know phones usually have a settings option to limit the total amount of data used by tethered devices, but not to limit their bandwidth. This is the first time I've seen this been asked for. Certain carriers might have a bandwidth throttling on their networks, for like if one exceeds their fair usage policies.

This app according to the description is supposed to limit tethering bandwidth, amongst other things. However many of the user reviews are saying things like it doesn't work.

Is bypassing FRP illegal?

Hadron
Bypassing FRP is not illegal, at least not in my jurisdiction (which may not be the same as yours). But it's not something we generally advise on here, since recipes for bypassing anti-theft measures would also be valuable to any thieves who were to search for them (and I'm saying "also" because I believe you, but a thief looking to unlock a stolen phone would obviously not tell us that was what they were doing. At least you'd think it was obvious, but we've actually had people ask how to bypass security for phones they admitted were not theirs, as if they expected everyone to be fine with that...) .

What I will say is that whether it's actually possible depends on phone and what software it is running. Methods for doing so depend on exploiting bugs, and these tend to be patched when discovered, so there is no general method for doing this. For many devices there will be no way.

Maybe contact Google and see whether there is any way of recovering your Dad's account? That's a long shot, but it's all I can think of. You will need to use that account to log in.

Nokia WT240 Battery

M
Thank you. I was wrong about what I need. I need to know what the test points are from the battery to the motherboard because something is wrong with the ribbon. This pic is of a Nokia 3V. I colored it & put the numbers so it's easier to see. I need to know which one each is from left to right. I know they're pos. neg. & then 2 for the thermol sensors but I need to know which is which.

Fingerprint not working..

I did a hard reset first and suddenly it was working alright the finger print scanner, even though there was some extra crud on it from just playing with it after dinner time, and had BBQ sauce on the cell phone, so I cleaned it off, it worked alright after the second time around with the hard reset... Now to do a phone test soon, maybe dial voice mail and see if that eliminate my problem with the cached app

How to separate Phone's and Gmail's contacts?

J
palooka said:
...................................
The problem .......... is that I hardly ever use my phone for email, and if I do want to, I just use the email addresses from within the gmail app. I just want contacts with phone numbers on my phone. Starting a few phones ago, I have been managing my own contacts list and diligently exporting (and importing) and backing it up and making sure not to sync contacts ever.
If anyone has heard of a more elegant solution since 2018, I would love to hear it.
thanks........................
Click to expand...

This is the solution that I have found and used. I found it by simply stabbing around without fully understanding the result in advance, and totally ignoring the almost universal advice to turn sync ON.
I now have sync turned OFF and it will stay that way.
I now appear to have a fully stable and reliable set of phone numbers in my Contact application.
I will report back if by chance it does not turn out this way.
Many thanks for this thread and the replies.

Jim.

Connections

olbriar
I reread your last post and realize that your aids are connected. If you are seeing the option to change volume in the left and right aid in the phone settings... they are connected. My only other suggestion would be to disconnect that pairing which you should see that option also in the phone settings we were discussing. Once disconnected, once again pair them with your phone. I can't begin to know why all marriages aren't created equal and can't promise a second connection will be better than the first. However, I have been cheated out of BT features on ear buds only to have them work with a new pairing. It's worthy of a try. I would be in contact with your audiologist if all fails. I do not think that your S21 is the problem. Good luck.

Apps Native crashes in Google Play Console

mimac
Hi guys,

I have an Android app, which includes WebView component and some native libraries, such as PDFium.

It is published in Google Play store and while checking the list of reported crashes from users in Google Play Console, I found various crashes/aborts in native code, without any of my classes or bundled libraries mentioned in the stacktrace.

I haven't been able to reproduce any of the crashes (I am not even sure how to emulate them, as I didn't find any hints in the stacktraces). Are those crashes something I should be concerned about? If yes, are there any hints for reproducing / debugging / fixing these crashes?

Some examples from the Google Play Console are below, I appreciate any help/
