Help I used Xperia companion but it say to allow data access but can't enable it

So, trying to help out a mate whose phone started to optimise apps and hit "63 of 63" before rebooting. It complains about a missing file/directory, though the friend says nothing was done by him other than turning it on. I charged it overnight and then tried the old "wipe cache" from the recovery menu, but still stuck. I thought maybe I could browse the system using Samsung software or a variant of Linux, but nothing sees it.



Is it cactus? Was just really after the contacts.

Just in from Australia! Hoping to gain some insight on the various issues and bugs I find on many devices.

I am looking for some advice on an app I have been developing over the last couple months. In an abstract explanation, the app's main screen (MainScreen()) shows items that the user has added. There is an add button which loads an add screen (AddScreen()) which by default shows all possible items that can be added. I have a search text field with a filter list underneath and have implemented some logic that has them work together to only show items that match both the search and filter criteria.

Currently, I am using just a regular mutable list to hold items that should be displayed. If there's nothing in the search text field and no filters are selected than we just assign the entire list (defined in a view model) to the regular mutable list in AddScreen()


the variables that are associated with the search text field (onValueChange) and filters (onClick) are all state variables but should the resultsList be a state variable defined in the view model as well?

I have a random bug that I am trying to find but cannot seem to reproduce when I try. It may have something to do with process death but after I have added an item from AddScreen and then click add to load AddScreen again, the list sometimes does not show all possible items (all of ItemMap.values in above example), even though the search text field and filters have been cleared.

I need to pay more attention to whether this happens after I am using an already running an instance of the app (and process death may have occurred) or if it is a new instance... I am thinking the former though because it always seems to happen when I am quickly trying to show someone else the app (naturally...) as opposed to me restarting an app while testing after a code change.

Any advice?

Hello. (Samsung Galaxy S7) All of the sudden this black bar appears at the bottom of my screen, ..it's a little bit over 1/8".....it doesn't bother me except can't see bottom of the icons on text messages and a few apps. My phone and battery are fine, and internet is fine except this black bar blocks things on some websites and text messeges. The phone is about 4 years old tops and works good.... Just feel like I did something to cause this black bar and want to find a solution. I have tried deleting apps, and doing alot of obvious things. i have researched it and can't find a solution...Thank you, Barb

Does anyone else using the Samsung Messages app get these texts? What would be the exploit they are trying to take advantage of?

• From international numbers
• No notification of new message, but shows up in your list of conversations with (No subject) and a date
• When you click into the conversation there is no message, no date
• Blue dot next to profile pic indicates they use Samsung chat mode (?)

Android is announcing new features rolling out now and in the coming weeks.

This evolution of our visual identity better represents Android’s core ethos of being open, iterative and inclusive — and it’s fun, too.

A friend just told me about this. It would be handy to have delivery sometimes. Should I try it?

I ran an nmap scan on my Samsung A22 running Android 13 4.14, these are the open ports that were returned, I've checked the services and port numbers and not found much information, can someone shed some light as to why they're open and what they're being used for please?

I have a 3T that I want to dedicate to an app that needs the microphone. The microphone is not working in any app. I even tried Gmail, making sure to give permission and Gmail hears nothing. I have looked at a lot of settings and all seems to be correct but maybe I am missing something? Can anyone suggest how to turn on my microphone? Thanks.

Every type I try I just get the "(some Google service) has stopped" notifications every second. Does anyone know what will actually work on this device and ROM?

So I'm in this situation where I got this mp3 player eventually factory reset it after taking data and placing it on an SD card now I don't have Spotify if anyone can help me figure out how to sideload on this MP3 that would help out a lot I tried going into safety mode (dunno what it's called) and it was in Japanese which doesn't help me i also found out its bqaed of android so if you have any ideas please shout them at me. I'm also new here please don't judge to harshly.

Hi community,

Im look for some advice on a Smartphone

Looking for a inexpensive Smartphone that my kid can play around with. Something he can also use as a cheap MP3 player with Bluetooth capability. I would prefer a Android preferably a Galaxy and under $100

I had hardly noticed docs, sheets, and slides on the Moto G Plus. When I investigated, I found out that not only are they part of the horrifying googooplex but they actually contain mb of data. I certainly did not put anything there as far as I know. What could this dark matter be?

Hi all,
How to rotate pen axis to 90 degree in Android 11?
In my system, when I set system to vertical screen, the touch axis it no problem, but pen axis is wrong. The pen axis should rotate 90 degree.
Is there a config file to config stylus to rotate 90 degree? Or should I write a apk to rotate pen axis?
Any suggestion is highly appreciated.
Thanks!
Gordon

Hi
Not sure if this is the correct section but does anyone know much about Android Studio?
I googled on ways how to emulate android phone so I can test intune mobile device management stuff

I followed this guide and it was pretty easy to set up:

Setting up an Android Emulator for testing Intune features - Azure Cloud & AI Domain Blog​

Overview As more customers leverage either standalone Microsoft Intune or Microsoft Endpoint Manager for cloud management of their devices they also seek an efficient means to upskill administrators on Intune features and capabilities without the need to purchase devices upfront for testing...

I made a Google Pixel 7 with Android 11 and picked an image with google play like the guide says

But when I launch the virtual phone it doesnt have the google play app installed ( even thought I made sure I picked it)
is there anything else I may have missed?

Also is it possible to take "snapshots" or save the current state of the virtual phone and revert back to it just like a virtual machine snapshot?

If anyone knows much about setting this up in Android studio I would appreciate any help

Edit:
How can I hide the standard 3 button navigation for Android on a Motorola?

Google responses only point to using swipe gestures navigation. I want to use the 3 button. Navigation system I've been using for years.

This morning, I could swipe down and the buttons would appear. Then I updated and they won't go away. When I type gets in the way and it closes aps if my palm barely grazes it.

I need to run some applications that require having my phone rooted, how can I root safely to be able to run them without making any mess ?
