Topic: Security Certificates


On my phone, I used to go to
settings>security>encrypted...>trusted network security certificates
Then if i disabled a certain certificate/s, (eg.Google) then all Google sites, apps, etc would instantly stop working & notifications pop up every 2 seconds
Recently i did this, disabled all 4 certificates and when i went to open all Google sites, apps, etc... They all still work for some reason.
To me, this clearly means that some one has installed other certificates to mimic or replace these original google certs and they are hidden somewhere either on my phone or on an external source somewhere.
I have tried removing all installed certificates, it does nothing.

I believe my phone has been compromised and was secretly rooted somehow, because all my settings mysteriously change themselves.
When I select certain settings one day, such as:
dev options>background Process limit>set to none..
then a minute later, ill return and its back to standard. Not just that.
Literally ALL settings change... whatever i change that may f+<k with what they're doing, will be changed back as soon as i fall asleep and wake up.

notification settings.... i try to keep them on, they change to off, so i receive no notifications wen i receive emails, updates, in-app msgs, i receive literally no notifications except calls and texts.
To try and counter this hacker, I installed and paid for a brave VPN, it was instantly disabled & unable to work (error would come up saying "your subscription is expired")
braves browser settings also change constantly,

Eg
'Block trackers & ads' changes from "aggressive" to "standard protection"
Incl many more

I really need help , im up against a giant.
is there someone that can help me to somehow confirm this?
The model of phone i have is listed above. I have a LIST of system apps i never installed {over 25-30} ss below.
Incl a program called SYSTEM UI that constantly runs. When i go to developer options>running services
and stop it, My whole phone goes black & reboots 4 some reason. Android webView, and many others. I will include photos. Can someone tell me if it is a hacker or if it is authorities,

If u need any info ask away ill try answer as best as i can



thanks

Help Number of notifications on email and text not showing

All of a sudden, the notifications isn't showing the # of new emails or texts. I checked to make sure they are on. I checked the settings. Notifications is on , allow sound and vibration is on. All I want is to be able to see the number of new emails or texts next to their icon. This just started Friday or yesterday. What I mean, is when I get a new email, it would show a little number 1, or 2, or however many emails I have. Now it's not showing those #'s. Same with texts. Is there any issue that is causing that, and if so, how do I get them back?

Underlining off?

My tablet is Samsung S7 FE. I use ColorNote and TypeApp applications with Gboard.
When I write something, Gboard underlines every word and after pressing space, underlining disappears.
How do I get rid of this annoying underlining feature ?

[Audio Flinger] Android 7.1.1 Audio Flinger severe bug

NXP_Audio_HAL_2.0 used for Android 7
Please, do note that there are specifics parts of the vendor implementation, such as sampling rate, buffer size and the latency. These data and others (Audio Flinger call backs) should be read by Audio Flinger while changing the cards in the multiple cards' Audio HAL implementation. These parameters for the new card (while opening an output stream as an example) MUST be read by Audio Flinger from the Audio HAL!

In this regard, Audio Flinger of Android 7 has the ugly bug, while changing from the one family card to the another, since Google programmers forgot, while opening the output stream to pass the buffer size, assuming that the buffer size is a fixed value through the live of the Audio Stack (which is NOT). Google programmers pass the other two parameters: sampling rate and the latency!

Thank you!

Google pixel 6 cannot receive calls

For a month now my Google pixel 6 cannot receive calls. All calls immediately go to voicemail. I missed lots of important calls. I contact my carrier (Tmobile) and one agent was able to fix it for one call. Next day the issue comes back. The fix is using 'Reset Option' / 'Reset Wifi - mobile - Bluetooth' then immediately shutdown the phone. It's very annoying. When I google about the issue I found that many people experience the same symptom.
I consider Google pixel 6 the worse phone in the world, because it cannot perform the main goal of a phone.

App Inventor Question about cross-compilation?

Hi,

I know the basics how NDK, but I do not following:


Can you use Linux Ubuntu and cross compile .so, which you place in JNIlibs folder and then use this .so file as libary or do you really need to compile in NDK always.

The problem is, that I want to use another libary. Building this libary is impossible in NDK, thats what the devs say, because it uses other dependencies.
However you can build on Linux and even cross compile it for arm-linux.


But here starts the point, where I get confused. The jnilibs folder need a so file. However you cannot compile a static program with so, because shared objects are dynamically linked. I can create a executable, that will run on adb, but this is not what I want.

Keybaord Text Area Too Small

Hello. I have a Google Pixel 6 Pro, and when typing a message in either Google Messages (SMS) or Facebook Messenger, The text area for what I am typing is too small. It shows approx 5 lines of text, while the rest of the screen is taken up with the background of the screen behind. When typing large messages, one the 5 line text area is full, the text will scrull up past the text box and become invisible. This makes reviewing what you have written extremely difficult. I would like to make the text box full screen (the available width and height of the xreen that is not taken up by the keyboard itself, which will allow more room for text and an easier review of what has been written.

The example have given occurs with Gboard, as well as alternate keyboards I have tried, so this seems to be a global setting which I can't find an option to change.

Can anyone help fix this issue?

Using insecure protocols with repositories

I was trying to perform a gradle sync on my Android Studio project and it generated the following error.

A problem occurred configuring project ':app'.
> Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':app:classpath'.
> Using insecure protocols with repositories, without explicit opt-in, is unsupported. Switch Maven repository 'maven2(http://localhost/)' to redirect to a secure protocol (like HTTPS) or allow insecure protocols. See https://docs.gradle.org/7.3.3/dsl/o...s.UrlArtifactRepository:allowInsecureProtocol for more details.
Please advise. Have you seen this before? How did you fix this?

Samsung photo gallery tags / keywords on images

Hi,

I take a a lot of photos for business and need to tag them to find. Samsung gallery has a great keyword tagging feature. Unfortunate it must store those keywords in a non-standard place because no other Android/windows app can see those tags. I need a way to tag photos that will be searchable on PC and with other apps.
Does anybody know where those tags are stored and if there are other apps that search & tag in the same place?
Or does anyone else have this need and found an app that works for them?

Thanks,

Help Note 20 Ultra with Verizon will not make or take calls under metal roofs.

My Galaxy Note 20 Ultra will not make or receive calls when under a metal roof. Neither would my old Note 5.
Verizon for years told me that it was because calls could not go through metal (after selling me a range extender for a couple hundred bucks that did nothing for the problem!) After asking many people I find that other providers and even others in Verizon did not have that problem with metal interfering. Now they tell me it is the phone brand. WTF! A top of the line phone will not work under metal as a phone. But can get and receive texts, data.

I can't get rid of an old gmail address when I compose a new message.

I have an old email address that I'm trying to delete when I compose a new email. I went into contacts and changed the email address. When I tried to compose, both the old and the new appeared. I tried every trick I could find from Google on how to get rid of the old address. Nothing worked.

Finally I decided to delete the contact altogether and start over. I did that, and the new address no longer appears, but the old address still does. I have deleted the cache, did a force quit on the app, and even restarted my phone.

There must be some way to delete the address when I compose a new email, but I am totally lost on what might work. Other than buying a new phone and starting from scratch, can anyone suggest a solution? I am totally mystified.

Google Messages

Hello All - New to the forum as you may begin to see, but long time Samsung and Android user.

Last post of the day I think will be this: Has Google Messages been able to resolve the fact when I receive MMS messages on my non primary SIM that I don't have to click each msgs to get it to load in the chat and then it is all out of order?

I went back to the default Android Messages app as it stated worked with the Dual SIM and it does.

Was not a huge fan of Google Messages, but, just wondering if that issue had been fixed.

Generate Signed Bundle or APK - Create New Keystore - Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS:- Xverify:none

I have written an Android app in Kotlin, using Android Studio. I'm trying to generate a signed Bundle/APK in Android Studio in MacOS, selecting the 'Android App Bundle' option in the first window that appears. I select 'create new key store' in the following window and fill in the appropriate fields, but when I finish and click ok I get this error...:

Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS:- Xverify:none

I've tried a few solutions, all via the terminal:

unset _JAVA_OPTIONS

JAVA_OPTIONS="-Djava.io.tmpdir=$HOME/tmp"

_SILENT_JAVA_OPTIONS="$_JAVA_OPTIONS" && unset _JAVA_OPTIONS && alias java='java "$_SILENT_JAVA_OPTIONS"'

...but I'm still getting an error when I try to generate a signed bundle. How do I stop this error so the new key store is created successfully? Thanks.

Low Latency H.264 Decoder

Dear Forum Folks:

I am building an H.264 media player that can decode elementary streams. I have it working ok, but the decoder always buffers up quite a few frames before displaying the first image. This is an IB (no P frames) only elementary stream I am decoding. I have noticed that if there are I frames every 5 frames, the Android player will start to display on the 7th frame. If there are 10 frames between I frames, it will display on the 12th frame and if there is 24 frames between I frames, it will display on the 18th frame. Is there any way around this?

I have read a lot of stuff using Google and there are suggestions, but no real answer. Just seems to be a hanging issue. However the drone guys figured out how to get around this since their player has very low latency so there must be a way to get the Android player to not buffer up so many frames and display on the 1st available I frame. Can you advise how to do this?

Thanks,
Tim
