Rename AndroidForums.com to Daily.Net

Let's see where things stand:

Accessing a folder

I have an app which claims to store data in the folder "/data/user/0/edu.berkeley.boinc/client"

However Android 11 is being difficult and this path looks different everywhere I look, and I cannot get to the files in it. I tried:

1) USB cable to Windows 11 PC. I thought this showed the whole disk without restrictions. But I see (with the phone set to "USB for file transfer"):
Card, Phone (those are the two drives, card is the SD card, not applicable here). I remember naming these myself some time ago.
In "phone" I have no data folder, but I can go into "Android", which then contains "data". Inside "data", there is no "user", but I do find "edu.berkeley.boinc". This however only contains "files" which is empty. So to summarise I looked for "/data/user/0/edu.berkeley.boinc/client" and found only "Android/data/edu.berkeley.boinc/files".

2) The app "Total Commander" which I read elsewhere shows all files without having to root the phone. On this, I see two "drives" listed at the top with a symbol which looks like an SD card. One is called DICAM-400, which I know to be the SD card, that label is made by the camera I took it from. The other is however called "Internal shared storage". So I think it's not getting to see everything. There is also further down the list a folder icon called "file system root" which I thought would be the real root of the drive. I find: "Internal shared storage/Android/data" but find nothing in there except file commander. I also find "file system root/data/data" but find nothing in there except file commander.

Can someone please untangle this mess and stop me going insane? I just want to see what's on the disk and delete some unnecessary things as it's very full.

I could also move apps to the SD card, but the two biggest ones are Boinc and Google Maps, and both do not have the button to move storage to the SD card, presumably they aren't compatible with doing so?

I want to know the reason why my app is being shown as a harmful app in Play Protect

Huawei Y336 Flashing

How do I know that is a hardware fault? Let me know if there a method. Software replacing method completes successfully, I've tried three times. But after complete it ask to reboot, that comes to stuck at logo.

I'm only going by what you've described so far. The only way you'd know 100% is to have the phone checked by a professional phone repair technician, who's familiar with this device.

Yes this is a old 3G phone, I want to use this as a stand by one and only for voice.

You'd have to consult your carrier for that. Depending on where you are, some carriers have ceased their 2G and 3G networks completely now, or are in the process of closing them down. When you might not be able to use it for voice.

TBT Basketball

They end the game with the elam rule (sorry about not capping the guys name) In the fourth period, after the first stoppage of the game at or after four minutes remaining, a target score is set. The target is 8 points more than the leading team's score. The first team to reach that score wins. The game clock is off. It's a bit weird.
A million bucks to the winning team is interesting too. :)

Why does the Android Emulator keep resetting the "Enable keyboard input" setting

In the advanced settings of an AVD (Android Virtual Device) configuration there is a checkbox "Enable keyboard input" which - when checked - allows to use your computer's input to input text into the emulated application (instead or additionally to the emulated device's onscreen keyboard).
This setting is very handy when developing and debugging an application, but for some odd reason the Emulator keeps unchecking this checkbox from time to time. Does anyone have an idea why or when this is happening?
I always only notice this when - after firing up the application under test - I again can't enter text using my laptop's keyboard. :-(

cant load android system, your data may be corrupt (motorola e7)

Well from both a basic security and a privacy aspect, you will have to provide some kind of authentication you're the actual owner of the phone itself.
Since the phone apparently won't boot up properly, obtaining the phone's serial number will be a more involved task. Try one on these suggestions, from Motorola's site:
The easiest might be to just log into the web site for your cellular service account, the serial number/IMEI will likely be listed there. That's how your carrier identifies your phone model to use their service.
serial number is actually written on the simcard holder very smal number so you have to use magnification glas or something

Best dashcam app for android head unit?

I just---finally, after 2 years of wanting one--- installed my new HU this weekend. It has a DVR line in, so while I was wiring everything I put in a camera to that input. The video feed shows up whenever i tap on the "dvr" icon in apps (which does nothing except display that input). Now, I would like to make that camera be my dashcam. I want something that will just start recording when I start up the car, loop over old video, and never need me to do anything (unless, of course should I need the footage for something). I want it to run in the background and never bother me. Recording to an SD card would be a nice feature.

All the apps I see seem like they're made for turning an old phone into a dashcam. Is there something out there which works best on a HU?

Thanks for your help!

Text message had download link and disappeared when clicked

Over the last 10 years or so, every cell phone or wireless forum I have been to has somebody posting about a mysterious 1kb file in a text message. I have never seen a consistent answer on what caused it. A few people will say it's this or that. There has never been anyone saying it's known malware or anything bad. To be honest, I wouldn't worry about it. If it was something bad someone would posted about it being bad by now.

Just two cents.

Direct connect

I went out to check for this stuff in real life. A store that sells stuff (relatively) cheaply had a usb hub for about $5 with 4 slots and a separate shutoff for each, but it was 2.0, not 3. Best Buy had a bunch of hubs, even under $10, but they went way up from there. What's the good of having a hub that mentions only computer stuff, not Android? I guess there are some that can handle it all, but it's a mine field. Why doesn't somebody sell a 3.0 with the otg cables included? That would have to be a lot easier than trying to assemble it piecemeal. What's that great about otg cables anyway, and why can't I find any? There are plenty of charging cables, Lightning, braided, etc., but not otg. Meanwhile, are photos exempt from all this? If PDFs, epubs, and all that are separate from FAT v. ntsf, are they separate too? Maybe jpeg for instance could fit on a hard drive with ntsf and no conversion needed. What does ntsf really mean?

Handcent SMS App

Even when set as default it doesn't work. It can read incoming fine, but sending doesn't even produce an error, the message just vanishes once the keyboard dismisses itself.

Same thing happens to a lot of my favorite Android 2.3 apps where I had to suck it up buttercup and use the Samsung Messages app which at least has some theme capability (but not a way to make the glossier bubbles show anymore)

The only one immune to it was Go SMS Pro, but I ain't paying a monthly subscription just to have a skeuomorphic interface. Plus aren't the devs behind Go apps such as Go Launcher among others behind similar scams as Cheetah Mobile were?
