Help [Solved] HTC One M8 stuck on HTC/HTC One logo.

I bough an HTC One M8 (Model: 0P6B100) for cheap in really good condition but someone before me tried to install a newer android version or something else. Whatever they did bricked the phone really good. It's stuck on the HTC logo most of the time and sometimes gets to the HTC One logo. When the phone is off it appears to be charging normally. I can get to the bootloader and I have photos of the bootloader and other stuff I think might be important. First thing I tried to do is factory reset which seemed like it was gonna work but after the phone managed to "almost" get to the OS it kept saying some apps (maybe they were processes? I really don't know) stopped working again and again not letting me get any further than that (I couldn't continue with logging in my google account and activating the phone). I couldn't replicate it again also there was only the back arrow and home button. A restart got me stuck at the HTC logo again. After that I tried wiping the data and cache and it didn't work. The screen was also flickering, but now it isn't. The phone also takes way too long to go to the recovery menu, I don't think it should be that slow. On one of the pictures it's saying it can't mount an SD card but there is no SD card in the phone. I don't really know what to do, I hope someone here can help me. I have zero experience with rooting phones, installing newer android versions etc.

LG tablet refuses to update

Hello, I was given LG G Pad F 8.0 as a gift to me. LG stopped giving it updates on Aug. 31, 2018, with version V49520m, and it is discontinued, that is OK. I would like to get to the final version, and I see no reason why I can't do that. I am currently on version April 26, 2016 V49520g. When I go to Settings > About Tablet > Software Update, it says it is on the latest version, but that is incorrect, it is on version V49520g, when V49520m is the latest version. I have been on over 100 mobile devices, and I have never seen a device block itself from updating like this. I have already factory reset it twice, there are no custom settings, personal files, extra apps, or SIM card in the device. How can I proceed? Thank you everyone.

Family Link and iPhone

Hi, ima new to this group, and I need your help. My daughter just got iPhone 13, and I have Samsung A53. Before she had also Samsung A31. Now I have a problem installing the Family link App on her iPhone. It does not work. I also tried Family Safety App, but I can only see her location. Is any option, I can control the amount of time she spends on her iPhone as I could before with Family link? I know there is a screen time app on her iPhone, but I can not use it since I don't have AppleiD. Did I miss anything here? Thank you for your help.

Sharing Google Play apps/games on Amazon tablet child profile

Hello. I recently installed Google Play on an Amazon Fire 10 Generation 9 tablet with OS 7.3.2.7. There is a child profile established on the tablet, as well as an adult profile and parental control. I would like to know if there is a way that Google Play or any of the apps/games downloaded from Google Play can be shared with the child profile on this Amazon tablet. Thank you. John

Public shame, er, storage

Yesterday my friend went to pay the bill there. He went to two separate locations and each of them was closed during regular business hours. Today he went back to both of them and another two, all of which were, again, closed. Three of them lied "we're open" while the fourth had plywood instead of a door. In desperation, he called their number and after hanging up and reconnecting, he was finally able to find a place that actually was open. He had less than two hours to get there, and it was far out of his way. When he got there, the door was locked and there was a note saying to call another number. He did and contacted the manager (?) on her own cellphone. By then she was back and had the door unlocked. At last he was able to pay his bill, but he missed two days at work and was additionally hamstrung by having to take public transportation AND walk probably five miles. It turns out he wasn't the only victim. Many others had to go there to take care of their bills instead of where they would normally pay. What's going on here? Public storage should know better than to let their reputation take such a huge hit. Has anyone else on here has a bad experience with them? Let's tell them to get with it or risk losing customers. We can also warn people about them.

led?

I've tried to get the led edge lighting to work on this phone, but can't. Followed the directions, but all the phone does is open the lock screen when a call, email, or text come in. If i'm not looking at the phone, i'll miss the email or text. Maybe there's a step that i'm missing? Also i'd like to have different sound for email and text msgs. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Need step by step instructions how to automatically add files to the APK in Android Studio

I am trying to do this very trivial task, but I cannot find any complete instructions on how to do it.

So far, I gathered that

  1. APK is just an archive that files can be added to using aapt add MyApp.apk file1 file2 ...
  2. Or the files must be added to the assets folder
  3. The APK must be less than 100mb to be allowed on the APP store
  4. The files must be signed
The problem is that I am finding these one-line answers in Stack Overflow questions, and not in any official instructions from Android Studio developers, and they leave a lot of necessary steps out. Which I have to guess, like where to put the files, where are they getting stored on the device. If adding files to the assets folder, I need to know Which assets folder? app/build/intermediate? Do I need to add something to Gradle scripts? Are there any other steps?

This is a very basic thing that probably every android app needs to do, and I am baffled that there is not an option or support in the IDE to import and sign the files being used by the application.

So far I had to resort to manually uploading these files (YOLO ONNX models, label text files, test images, etc) to my phone and the emulator for testing.

I am looking for some clear and concise step by step instructions to how someone can add something like a text or image file to their APK, sign it, and make it deploy to the phone or emulator automatically when building, running, or debugging the app.

Can someone please help point me to such a resource?

Thank you,

  • Question Question
Is my phone new or refurbished?

I recently bought a 'new' Android phone (Pixel 6a). I needed to check the phone's details for a different issue so clicked Settings/About and noticed that the phone number showing was not my number (my wife's does match her's). Does this mean I have been sold a refurbished phone rather than a new one, as described by the Amazon seller?

I need help getting two no-longer-available Android games, each one with OBB files, to work via Android emulation

Having recently enjoyed the DC Snyderverse (Man Of Steel, BVS Dawn Of Justice, and ZS's Justice League) enough to declare it my Favorite Incarnation of DC in general, and being the gamer for life that I am, I wanted to obtain and play video games based on the trilogy. Unfortunately only one game exists for each movie, but at least they're all playable on Android. I'll have to use an Android emulator to play them though since they were designed for older version of the OS.

Right now I'm using Nox, because that's the only emulator that installed on my computer with no issues. The BVS Dawn Of Justice game was the easiest to install and play, so one of the games is already out of the way. It's Man Of Steel and Justice League VR that I need help with. I obtained both games' APKs and OBB files, successfully installed the APKs, and copied the OBB files to what I've been told is the correct place to put them (./Android/obb/). Neither game started up, even after starting the apps numerous times.

I really wanna be able to play these games, so can anyone here help me with getting them to run correctly? Did I just put something in the wrong place? Or do I need a different emulator? It'd be greatly appreciated...

Calculator

I know it's simple but I am probably over complicating this :D
I want to make a calculator with 3 fields required to get the result.
Example:
Field 1: (2)
Field 2: (4)
Field 3: (2)
Result: 4

Explanation:
Calculator takes what ever is entered in Field 1 AND multiplies it with Field 2, Example: (2*4=8)
Than the calculator takes the RESULT of Field 1 and Field 2 AND divides it with what ever is inserted in Field 3, Example: (8/2=4)
In short: 2*4=8/2=4.
Your help would be much appreciated.
So far I have this and I only have the first 2 fields working:

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private EditText etn1;
private EditText etn2;
private TextView appview;

@override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
etn1 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.etn1);
etn2 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.etn2);
appview = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.appview);

}

public void btnshoot(View view) {
int n1 = Integer.parseInt(etn1.getText().toString());
int n2 = Integer.parseInt(etn2.getText().toString());
int sum = n1 * n2;
appview.setText(String.valueOf(sum));

Moving notification and ringtones

My wife got a new Android phone and want to use some of the ringtones and notification sounds from her old Samsung S8 on it.

But I can't find the ones she wants, I've gone into the ringtones and notification folders but there are only the ones that I've downloaded over the years, but going into a app to choose a notification sound I can see a whole lot of them, but can't find them when I search the phone, is there somewhere else they are hidden??

These are the sounds that came with the S7.

Thank you
