Outlook for Android archive folder

In Outlook for Android there is an Archive folder. The folder is specific to the phone app as it doesn't exist in Outlook online or Outlook on a PC desktop.

I don't use this Archive folder and so I was surprised when I looked in it and found a lot of emails in it. I recognized them as being emails that I have deleted from one of the email accounts I have on the phone.

The thing is I like to keep things cleaned up to a certain point so I will delete certain emails without opening them and then go to the Deleted folder, select those emails I just deleted from the Inbox and delete them again which permanently deletes them.

So some or all of these emails that I've done this 2 step permanent deletion have wound up in this Archive folder, but they are only from one of the email accounts. The permanently deleted emails from the other accounts are not there.

I want to empty this folder but due to the very large number of emails in the folder it will take a lot of effort and time to do so. I would prefer to empty the folder like you can empty the Junk folder in Outlook for Android in just one step.

Has anyone run into this and found a solution?

General Android Question

We have a Moto G6 that was originally Android 8 and upgraded to Android 9. I know we are a couple versions behind in upgrades.

We use the device as a phone with very few active apps. The cellular data is turned off. We use the phone 99% of the time in our home for phone calls and some weather checks. It is used on Wi-Fi except for the rare occasion when the power is out.

How important is an Android upgrade for us?

Help What is this icon mean?!

Hi all,
In the last couple of hours I have this little Android-head icon (see attached picture, next to the clock) and I have no idea what that is (no bigger notification to view). It may be related but since that time I get weird uncontrolled popups in my mobile Chrome browser.

I tried to restart the phone multiple times, but this icon always returns.

Does this icon mean my phone is being controlled remotely? What can I do to neutralize it?

Thanks in advance

Keyboard Issue

I have a strange problem, I use an IRC client by the name of AiCiA, but it doesn't seem to like the keyboard that I use, which is OpenBoard. When I tap on the text box, the keyboard never appears. Both google and microsoft keyboards work fine.

I doubt anyone is using that client, it's pretty obscure, but has anyone experienced anything similar using OpenBoard?

Error copying files from PC to S10e using USB cable

I have a weird issue when trying to copy multiple files from pc to phone, using an USB cable. In about 95% of cases, the copy process gets stuck at a random file... ("Copying..." and the file name is displayed meanwhile). After some time I get an error message "Cannot copy file <file name> . The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected. Stop copying? / Skip this file / Cancel" . The file is always a different one.
The more files I try to copy, bigger the chances to fail. If I choose Skip, the copy continues but chances are it will get stuck at another file and so on.
Files are pictures, movies mp3s, it doesnt't seem to matter.
For the moment, the workaround is to repeat the copy process until the number of files in destination matches the source...
I can copy just fine anything (lots and lots of GB) from phone to PC, using the same USB cable, without adjusting it, before and after the failed copy from pc to phone.

Phone is Samsung S10e up to date
PC is a Windows 7 x64, all 4 USB ports behave the same.
USB cable looks fine as far as I can tell

I wonder if someone experienced something similar or has some idea on what to check.
For the next week I am limited to the hardware mentioned above.

Android 12 update (Nokia X20)

I've had the phone about a week, and a couple of days ago I got Android 12.
It's a much nicer phone than I expected for the money (£250) - 64MP camera with Zeiss optics, 128GB/4GB an SD card slot and (Drum roll) a Headphone socket. As with all Nokia Android devices it's an Android One phone so 3 years of updates. Oh, there's no charger in the minimal box.

Rockichip RK808B

I have a tablet with a Rockchip RK808B. I need to know how to manually reset it (short it) via the jumper switch on the motherboard. The Rockchip RK3368H is on this motherboard also. I need to know which pin or pins I have to short out in order to try to wipe it. Any help would be appreciated & if anyone knows anywhere else I could find this, that would be awesome too. Thank you.

Gear 360 pictures

I use on my Gear VR the app Samsung Gallery on a Samsung S7. When I see the 360 pictures made with the Gear 360 and I click in Samsung Gallery on "Album"I can see the pictures in 360 mode. I have copied a photo made with the Gear 360 to my laptop and when I open this picture with Samsung Gallery via: Network and submap on the network Gear 360, the pictures is pixelised and blurry.
Anyone a solution?

Help Help making an image of the "hard drive" of a phone

Phone:
LG Volt LGLS740
Android 4.4.2

Computer:
Linux Mint 20.2


Software:
- Android Debug Bridge (ADB) 1:8.1.0+r23-5ubuntu2
- Android SDK Platform Tools Com 27.0.0+12
- Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) library tools 1.1.17-3
- TWRP - could not find a version of TWRP for my phone

Hello,

I would like to recover some deleted pictures from an old phone.

I didn't have any luck using TestDisk on it directly, so I want to make an image of the phone and try TestDisk again.

I found these directions on StackOverflow:


1. Download insecure boot.img to your PC from
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390169635556426389

2. Reboot your phone into fastboot mode by powering it off and then pressing
and holding volume-down and power buttons.


3. From your Linux PC in the folder where boot.img is located type:
$ fastboot boot boot.img

4. To copy the image of the mmcblk0 partition type:
$ adb pull /dev/block/mmcblk0 mmcblk0.img


I've been stuck on step #2 above.

I haven't been able to get into fastboot mode on my phone.

I mounted my phone:
sudo go-mtpfs -allow-other /media/steve/Steves1TDrive/Phone

I then followed these directions for getting my phone into fastboot mode:

Getting into safe mode:
https://droidrecovery.com/lg-volt-ls740-recovery-mode/


1. First of all, make sure you have installed LG Volt LS740 USB Driver and
ADB and Fastboot Drivers on your Windows PC.

2. Enable "USB Debugging" on your phone from Developer Options.
If Developer Options is missing; go to Settings > About Phone and tap on
Build Number for about 7-10 times.

3. Connect your device to PC and open Command Prompt (CMD).

4. Enter the below command to boot LG Volt LS740 into Recovery Mode.
adb reboot recovery


I skipped the part about "Fastboot Drivers on your Windows PC". Ha ha ha.
All else was okay.

However this command did not work
adb reboot recovery

This is the output I got


$ cd /media/steve/Steves1TDrive/Phone/
$ ls
'Internal storage'
$ adb reboot recovery
* daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037
* daemon started successfully
error: no devices/emulators found
$


/media/steve/Steves1TDrive/Phone is the mountpoint for my phone.

I realize this isn't entirely an Android issue, but I would be grateful for any
help getting my phone into fastboot mode so I can complete the instructions I
found for making an image and eventually recovering deleted pictures from it.

Thanks much for any clues

Steve
