Help with files by google

message flashed'error unknown couldn't move file', and haven't been able to use that again. And nothing shows in SD card files using the app.
Sounds like your SD card may have died or become corrupted. Can you try reading it in a different device? If it fails there, too...not good.

If you can read it elsewhere, or you simply want to try a different file manager, there are many good ones in the Play Store. One I like is Explorer. It not only connects easily to my LAN, and cloud accounts, but it lets you assign your own icons. (This is not the same as using a different icon pack.) These are my directory icons:

p1ma40 ,problem with a registration into the Google account, Factory Reset Protection?

Hello. I have a problem, maybe it concerns Factory Reset Protection.

I bought a Lenovo p1ma40 phone from a friend, the operating system should have Android 5.1.

The phone required to select a language, then inserting a simcard and then connecting to the Internet on a Wi-Fi network / WLAN from the beginning to power on and start up the startup screen. After a few seconds, he showed a message that the connection to Google servers was unsuccessful or something similar. Inserting or not inserting the simcard did not affect the overall result. All wi-fi networks detected, but none could be connected. I did a hard reset via "wipe data / factory reset". Requires an Internet connection after restarting in the initial setup. Detects Wi-Fi networks, but when you click on one of them to connect immediately displays the message "Couldn't connect to the internet". The Google Account Verification screen will not appear at all.

When switched on via Volume Up + Start it shows, among other things:

MMI Test: Fail

PCBA Test: Fail

Sensor test: fail


Fastboot mode does not appear to work.

I do not have my own PC on which I would have permission to install some software as a network administrator. I have available:

- A working Lenovo phone with Android 6.0

- flash drive

- USB cables

- OTG reduction

Do you know any solution how I can put into operation or test, diagnose, if possible without paid software, eg free software, myself, this phone? Thank you very much for your help.

Quite frankly that sounds like a logic-board{PCBA) failure, or perhaps someone flashed the wrong firmware. It's not FRP causing this.

If it's a hardware failure, that's repair or replacement required, or you'll be buying a new phone. AFAIK to flash firmware on a Lenovo almost certainly requires a PC. For procedure and required software, there might be something here for the Lenovo Vibe P1m.

GOOGLE PIXEL XL 3 ISN'T SHOWING CONTACT NAMES

I just uninstalled all the updates for messages and all the messages now have the contact name. weird!
Interesting! Sounds like the update borked it! Unfortunately that happens a lot with Google. Will be interesting to see how long it takes for them to push an update to fix the update. Be sure to leave feedback in the messages app and let them know!

Grandfathered UDP Still Going Strong

I have an old grandfathered UDP. Here's my plan:

90.00 unlimited talk and text
50.00 unlimited data plan
30.00 Unlimited Hotspot

With small discounts, I end up paying around 165.00 per month.

I use the hotspot all the time and have not noticed any throttling on either my main phone or on the tethered devices.

I use between 30-50 GB a month.
I held onto mine until about a year ago. Wanted to get family on unlimited so I upgraded. Price didn't change and I never used much more than 20gb anyway.
The newer plan throttle around 22GB. Which phone do you use? Hope they will still have this when 5G is out.
That is an OOOLLDDDDD unlimited plan you simply cannot get anymore. And you can pay like $10 more and they do not throttle until 50gb, and another 10 and you get some additional perks and they do not throttle until 75gb.
$119 for one line, $33 of that goes towards the payment for my pixel 3

Sounds right, I pay $220 with 3 lines, with $30 for my pixel 3xl, and $20 for my pixel 4xl.

Is LTE+/LTE-A the same thing as 5Ge?

So "5GE" is really just AT&T's and Cricket's bullshit marketing term for 4G+ (LTE Advanced).

Doesn't the US have laws against deceptive advertising?

The U.S. carriers can just make up a term like "5g+" or whatever. How they define it is in the "small print" of the contract.
Deceptive? Yes most definitely .

Illegal? Unfortunately no

Google Chrome keeps popping up with some sites without permission

I might have installed some new apps recently, yes, although I did check that they should be having a proper rating in Google Apps. Is Adguard a trust able app?
A 'proper' rating?

Google is the largest supplier of adware and malware apps on Android. I literally look for my apps anywhere else first.

Google Play Store won't allow any real ad-blocking apps, as they violate Google's business model.
That pretty much says everything about Google.

Annoying Popup Can Anyone Help

I concur, delete anything Facebook. For more information about their despicable activities, have a read here...
https://androidforums.com/threads/do-you-still-use-facebook-why.1293267/

You got that right!! Facebooks unethical business practices costs them a 5 billion dollar fine. Im guessing they made a hell of alot more than that harvesting our data. My question is we the costumes are the victims and yet wheres are compensation? Who keeps that 5 billion? No restitution for us thats for sure.

Error twrp

I installed it with odin, everything went well and he said yes if I wanted to finish root I said yes and then the screen gets purple and enters loop

Did you let TWRP flash root or did you actually use the install function to flash a root.zip file? If you let TWRP flash the root binaries on its own accord, I suspect that is what caused the issues you experiencing now. It happens all to often.
I have a rooted N4 n910p.
Another suggestion is make sure your installing the correct custom recover for your device and carrier.
If there are 2 options .tar and tar.sec most people use the .tar .
Download the latest version and if that doesn't work reflash your firmware, reboot and flash a lower version TWRP .tar.
Good luck
