Root I want to root my device

nickdalzell
Just be aware, many 'custom ROMs' aren't what they used to be, neither are any tweaks that depend on root. A ton of modification that was once hidden behind root permissions are built-into modern Android. Root today will make a lot of important apps and games no longer work due to something Google added in called Safetynet. This means that a lot of banking apps refuse to open, and games such as Pokemon Go won't work. Secure Boot is also enforced today, meaning that root might make the phone unbootable in some cases, showing a red triangle screen saying the system is modified and no longer safe (which you can't bypass).

The glory days of CyanogenMod 7.1's level of tweaks, or AOKP and Paranoid Android are long past us, regrettably.

Suspected spam call is not spam - How to change it?

nickdalzell
Simply making enough outgoing calls can make your number get listed this way. My mother's number often shows up as 'suspected scam' because she makes tons of outgoing calls and the carrier has flagged the number.

It's similar to the Cloudflare 'ban' you get from too many Google searches.

Sometimes the change or 'upgrade' ain't worth the issues it causes. Remember when we could make phone calls and not get punished for it? Yeah.

A third party phone app won't fix it. The carrier's own system is what flags the caller ID and uses the suspected scam tag. It happens a ton to legit businesses that use telemarketing to advertise. Many times elderly people don't get important medical insurance or prescription automated calls over it. Just like installing another browser won't get your Google search back if Cloudflare has instilled a 24 hour soft ban on your IP.

Open file dialog

D
Hi all, I have been trying for 3 days to create some code (button click) that will allow me to select a mp3 file from the media library and copy it to another directory within the app structure. I have sought assistance from 2 ai sources but have but have gotten all tangled up in permissions and other structural problems. So far I cannot even get the file open dialog to start and show any files. Does someone have some sample code that actually works? I would need to specify the music library location and the destination location.

Thanks

WiFi not working???

If you're wondering if your phone is connected to your home WiFi network or to your Google Fi cellular network, disable mobile data on your Pixel and then see if the WiFi icon in the upper Status bar is showing a strong WiFi signal. Do a test with a web browser app to confirm your phone has online access. Typically, even if you do or don't have mobile data enabled, the default state will be to use WiFi when available.

Regarding using WireShark to confirm is your Pixel is or isn't connected to your home network, that's a bit of an overkill solution. WireShark is a very capable utility, but it's intended to be used as a network packet analyzer. You will get more relevance checking your home router's setup/config menu to see which devices are connected to it. Your router is what manages and maintains your entire home LAN, WireShark is just a way to get a deep level analysis of the network traffic running through your LAN.

Thank you. I disabled mobile data and the two icons I see are the Wifi indicator (which appears strong and I was able to use connect to the phone just now to get the screen grab) and the signal indicator (I think) which shows an exclamation point. I believe that you are suggesting that this means that WiFi is working. Yes, WireShark can dive deep, btu it also shows activity and I would feel a lot better if I saw that...

Right now I've just got "Shakespeare" answering the questions, but I'll be adding more over time. People like King Arthur, Socrates, Mother Earth, etc...

I'm editing the code on the live site, so it may not work perfectly, but let me know what you think!

Help How to control SIM connection without physically removing SIM from Android

svim
Assuming since your tablet has been set up to use a restricted SIM, your school district's IT department has some sort of MDM in place to restrict WiFi connectivity too, forcing the use of a managed and monitored cellular service.
If that's the situation, I'd give up trying to force this tablet to be used for your own personal needs and just get your own personal tablet. If budget is a priority, hopefully a used one might work out?

Why would an error say "Fragment not attached to Activity" when onDetach has never been called?

M
FINALLY figured it out. I was creating new WelcomeFragments on every call, which of course were not attached to the Activity - only the original WelcomeFragment was. I passed "this@WelcomeFragment" to my Compose UI so that I could call it without creating a new one. All works now.

Thanks! It actually helps to just type out the problem :)

Help Keep getting unidentified sound that doesn't seem to be a notification

svim
Well before you try more drastic measures like a Factory Reset, don't stop at least trying to find out just which app or service is behind that occasional, weird 'clinking' sound. If anything, use Samsung's Smart Switch utility to make a full backup of your user account. It will make doing a restore of your data easier if necessary, and it's always a better practice to have backups of your phone anyway. Backups are important, they really are.

Samsung Galaxy - The Official Samsung Galaxy Site

www.samsung.com www.samsung.com

But getting back to that sound, since you don't see anything in the Notification log that correlates with when it does occur that is odd but it's not an absolute. You also mentioned not seeing anything notable as far as apps that 'might' be responsible but keep in mind that there could be several menus, conditionally-accessible menus, and annoying-messy-to-use sub-menus to look through now. Each version of Android includes an increasingly complex Settings menu, and add in that Samsung opts to extensively add/alter even more complexity, there's often multiple options to check for things like Notification sounds. Looking through the User Manuel for your model, there are several on pg. 102 through pg. 107 to go through as a starting place:

If nothing in those Settings options stop that sound, you might want to then try looking through the Running services menu to see if there is some app or Android background service might be responsible for that sound. Note that Running services won't indicate outright about that sound, it will show you a more extensive listing of all the processes that are active and loaded in RAM. Also, you need to enable the Developers Options menu that's otherwise hidden within your Settings menu (it's an integral part of the Android OS, it's just something that needs to be intentionally made visible):
www.xda-developers.com

Android Developer Options Explained: Everything you can do with these settings

Android ships with a whole bunch of Developer Options that can unlock experimental and debugging features. Here's what these options do.
www.xda-developers.com www.xda-developers.com
Anyway, once you enable Developers Options, use Running services and see if perhaps there's some system related service might be making that sound. Note that there's likely to be one or several Android System items and if you tap on them that will reveal more info on just which service or services it refers to. So yeah, this involves a lot of speculation on your part. Just be very judicious about anything you change in Developers Options. There will be a lot of oddly named system processes that appear to be gibberish to some but vital as far as keeping your phone functional.
