write the author of article and ask them that.

Just to clarify if there's just a syntax issue involved. Safe mode and Recovery mode are two separate, distinct ways to do maintenance on your device, and are accessible in two different ways. Wiping the system cache partition is not accessible in Safe mode. If you are referring to 'Reset' as Recovery mode and there's no option to wipe the system cache, that's a bit odd but apparently something Motorola implemented for this model. (Perhaps attributed to newer versions of Android that are using a newer partition scheme that doesn't involve dedicated system cache partition). I wouldn't worry about it much though, it's unlikely that wiping the system cache partition (whether it's there or not) pertains to this particular issue of having to reboot the phone to do phone calls, especially given it's such happening in such a random way. More of a possibility than a probability. I'd focus more on this issue being tied to the SIM card. Did you try re-seating it or trying it in your phone?

Keep in mind that once you do send this phone back, even if there is no screen lock and some tech staffer starts it up, the phone won't have any online access to receive the remote wipe signal anyway. With no SIM it won't have any cellular connectivity and with none of the saved WiFi networks you added being out of range it won't have any WiFi connectivity -- unless you had it set to automatically access any available open (no password) WiFi network (or you have something like Comcast's privacy-riddled public Xfinity WiFi network at home and this service shop is also using Comcast for broadband). But again, this is all just supposition, the odds are the phone gets scrapped, there's no profit margin in repairing it.
But your description on the charging problem 'could' be due to the USB cable you're using. The plug on the end of the USB cable is held in place simply by friction fit so it's a matter of tolerances -- if the crimp in that metal sleeve in the plug isn't making enough physical contact with the metal sides of port in the phone, the plug won't be firmly held in place (the metal contacts in the plug can't transfer power to the metal contacts in the port). Have you tried a using a different USB cable? This won't make any difference if the problem is with the port in the phone of course (e.g. a bad solder joint that connects the port's internal metal contacts to the motherboard). If a different cable does work, this might at least be enough for you to charge the phone so you can copy off any data you need and do a Factory Reset.

Welcome to the forum @Juan saavedra, I'm not sure they can help as they haven't been around for a few years.

I did some googling and found these solutions, but I'm not sure they fully line up with what you want.

There are hardware / software solutions that do this. For example, here is a WiFi IR blaster with an accompanying app that isn't much more expensive than a universal remote. I have no idea how well this works, but the concept isn't much different than using my phone to control a RoKu over WiFi.

Edit: Oh, and the logitech harmony home hub does the same thing, but costs more. That said, I've used other harmony remotes and you don't program them so much as enter your TV make and model number in and it programs itself. You will probably have less compatibility issues with the Harmony.

I have a Moto G from 2016 that had the same issue("error while searching for network"). The problem, of course, was that the cellular radio had somehow turned off, and refused to turn back on again. I tried all the solutions suggested by Google search results with the exception of flashing any chips, which I really wanted to avoid. I kind of figured it really was a software issue that manifested overnight. Anyway, about a week later, I ran across a Youtube video which provided a solution that worked like a charm for me. I think this might help a lot of frustrated people with the same problem. The video is in Hindi, but I think it's clear enough that you can figure out the steps he talks about. Here's a link to the video:

UPDATE - I have found the solution to the problem, it appears to be the AspectTolerance.

By default it appears to be set to 0.1f

In my case, I was able to fix it using
scannerView.setAspectTolerance(0.2f);

Worth checking different values if 0.2f doesnt work for you.

Hello all.
I am on an LG V30.
Until the latest update, I was using a product called "AB shutter 3" (The matching app is no longer in the play store), It's small plastic button that opens your camera and clicks a shot every time you press it.

As with all bluetooth shutters or buttons, it basically just "clicks" a shortcut icon, or clicks something in a folder.

My problem is the following.
The bluetooth paring is working FINE, but now when I click the button, it opens "ringtone volume" which is located in "/storage/emulated/0", instead of the icon it used to click, which was my camera icon, on my desktop top left icon position.
If I can figure out how to put a "camera" shortcut into the "/storage/emulated/0" folder, I think I can get this to work again.


If I open the camera manually it will work as a shutter button, it just will not open the app like it use to.
Anyone else having trouble with bluetooth camera triggers with the new update?"

Also: Would it hurt to downgrade?

Thanks.

I have been using a Samsung smartphone for about 4 years... Actually, I haven't had any issue with it expects its age. Also, mobile data on Samsung causes rapid battery drainage and I think it is common for every smartphone as it doesn't happen the same when using Wi-Fi. That's my personal experience. On the other hand, I've not used Xiaomi. But, I listened to some positive reviews from its user as continues updates, battery power and hard using.

don't know, but you can chromecast your phone to the tv.

this would definitely be better in the android dev section.

Yes, indeed!

No idea, too.

I am using the popular "AB Shutter"
Bluetooth is paring perfectly, but the shutter buttons ( small for android large for iOS)
By Default the shutter clicked on the first item on the android desktop top left, so I put my camera button there.
Now little button does nothing, but if I hold it down it goes to the "Choose widget or item" for homescreen.

Anyone know what to do about it?
thanks!

Welcome to Android Forums, Ian Simson!

Can anyone help me out with some files ive found and converted etc?

Click to expand...

Perhaps. But first we need to know what kind of files they are, how you converted them, what you converted them to, and what you need help with.

Is this somehow related to Chrome?

In the future, instead of adding your question to an old thread about a different issue, you're more likely to get good help by posting a new thread in the appropriate sub-forum.

He keeps layin down on me itll be off to the soap factory for him

I'm just not comfortable with the excessive permissions that are required to use these apps. I know Chainfire is well known and you can view source...

Happy to wait for Samsung to officially release the feature. If not, meh..

Welcome!

Okay, from within the app, go through all of its menus and settings; see if there's a method for canceling your subscription. If there is, follow its steps.

If there isn't, log in to your account on their website. Since I don't have an account, I can't see what's there for people who do. Double-check that there's no way to cancel.

If there isn't, send a message to rdlysoftware@gmail.com and see if that solves the problem. If it doesn't...

1) contact the credit card bank and explain the situation, making clear that they offer no way to cancel, so you're doing this as a last resort. Tell them to immediately stop allowing charges for that company.

AND

2) go to their Play Store page and post a review, explaining the whole situation. I'm sure others would like to know.

It happened to me twice, while in my left pocket. It happened after a month of getting my New Note10, and then the following week. I called tech support and they claimed that it's impossible, that the feature to restore after too many attempts is not enabled in this phone.
I do know, that both times, I had been doing brisk walking activities.
I reached the conclusion that it is a flaw from the feature that unlocks the phone with the on screen fingerprint sensor.
Turned it off and it's been over two weeks without incidents. I still use it to unlock apps, but Not the phone from the lock. Screen
Will try for about two months and then turn it on to see what happens.

Did you happened to have yours On as well?

I don't ever turn it on if I forget I'll just factory reset my self lol

Its S
Its always S


Wish i had never enabled security.
What a pita
