cant load android system, your data may be corrupt (motorola e7)

My motorola e7 just broke and i get this message:
"cant load android system, your data may be corrupt",
and then have to chose between "try again" and "factory reset".

Is it possible to save or restore all the data from it?
I have so many pictures on the phone i dont want to loose but also i have a decent amount of crypto on it.

If reset is the only option, i would still not do that, beccause then i would save some money a few months and send it to some professional, but thats absolutey the last option.

What about wondershare?
Here they say something about that you can do factory reset and then restore the data with their program:

eSIM on Visible

Since there is no sub-forum for the carrier, Visible, I'm posting here. My wife recently converted to Android as a long-time IOS user. It almost didn't happen though, based on her experience making the transition. This is not intended as a slam against Visible (a Verizon MVNO), it's just one of those things that would have been nice to know.

Visible supports both SIM and eSIM. But... what they don't mention is that eSIM support is dependent on the IMEI indicating that the device is both unlocked and in their eSIM database. Several years ago I transitioned from a Nexus 5x to a Pixel 5 with them. The 5x had a physical SIM card and I was able to seamlessly switch to the Pixel using eSIM. The difference was that both devices were "mature" in the market when this happened. In my wife's case, her new phone (RAZR+) had only been released a few days earlier. It was purchased directly from Motorola, so there was no question that it was unlocked. But when the directions for moving from one device to another did not work, we soon learned that Visible does not update their database in a timely manner. After several lengthy chats with support, we realized that our best option was to get a SIM card for the RAZR. Despite the aggravating experience of not being able to activate a new phone, to their credit, Visible overnighted the card and she was in business the next day.

Lesson learned: Don't try to use eSIM with Visible unless it is either a device that has been around awhile or is a phone that they sell.

¿Hacked & Rooted? or just crazy

Hello!
I'm new here, I joined because I'm looking for an answer or explanation to an issue I've been experiencing with my s9+.
Over a year ago my phone started lagging, slow to load/login to apps, pics took forever to appear. I switched to a different carrier & phone,
no problems.
A few months later I switched back to the previous provider with the note9 (it's a better quality phone).
It was working great!
About a month & a half ago my phone started lagging, slow to load/login to apps, pics take forever to appear.
Just like before.
(at the risk of sounding paranoid and/or crazy or both)
My ex-boyfriend was sentenced to prison for stalking/harassing me a few months after the first time the phone was acting up & he was released just before my phone started acting all weird again.
I used the phone to Doordash in the past but now it doesn't allow me to login, just loops back to sign in page.
Samsung says the phone is rooted.
When I run device info, doesn't say phone is rooted. when I try to save passwords, I get a toast from SamsungMembers saying cannot save pw because phone is rooted.
I'm unable to view some files because it says I don't have permission.
What I've read about Doordash, they don't allow rooted phones to be used by their drivers.
I downloaded a log logcat reader, not all that good at using it, novice at best.
But I do see some processes that seem sketchy.
The question I'd like to know is;
"If my phone IS rooted, is there a way of tracing it back to the parent operating system???
Thanks for taking your time to read this. SamsungMembers deleted this from their community page. Don't understand why...

Uris from the filepicker

Hi all, Newbie here. I am working on an app that involves picking a mp3 file , saving its Uri to a database, and then later selecting the file from the database and playing it with the mediaPlayer. This is all similar to creating a playlist from the music stored on the device. In this regard I have several questions.

I can only get the mediaPlayer to play the mp3 if the Uri is an audio based Uri. The filePicker seems to want to return a document based Uri. So, Is there a way to get the mediaPlayer to play the file based on the content/document based Uri?

Is there a simple way to convert the document Uri into an audio based Uri?

Is there a way to get the filePicker to return an audio based Uri?

Would all this be easier if I used the exoPlayer instead of the builtin mediaPlayer?

Thanks for any advice and/or code samples.

Fossil Gen5 - only need time and track steps (maybe sleep). What must I have turned on?

Hi,
I have a Fossil Gen 5 watch (Carlye). I only care about the Time and counting my Steps. I want this data tracked in Google Fit. Trying to get max battery time too. So I am turning off everything that is not needed. If I only want Steps (not workouts) just walking about doing normal day to day activities, do I have to have "track physical activity" turned on in wear os google fit app for this? Sensors? ?
What is the bare minimum I must have turned on for Steps to count?
Thanks

Samsung Galaxy GT i5510M

This phone has been sitting idle because the "data function" stopped working. Use as a phone for voice or text was fine. I needed data access so got another phone; was sort of duped into a "Plan with phone" purchase of a Mortorola G 2021. It has functioned OK but have never really liked it. My point is: soon I will be at the end of my "plan and purchase" contract and I would like to resurrect the Samsung phone to USE for voice and text. In conjunction with doing this I wondered IF there is any way to get data function back??? Also, just a few days ago I connected to Wifi and found that the Browser app could not connect to ANY webpage, with an error message of: "can not make a secure connection"!! When it first refused to make a data connection it would make connection using wifi to a few sites but did give this same error for most sites. Now I can't find any. The Browser is certainly what came with the phone. It is just labelled: Browser version 2.2.2 (this is also the Android version on the phone) As in the post title the phone is: Samsung Galaxy GT-i5510M running Android 2.2.2

My question (s): if I can find a newer Android version for this phone would this: a. have a chance of re-activating the data function? b. at least allow access to internet via WiFi connection? Secondarily, I read awhile ago that these older phones may be renderred useless because the "frequencies/channels" they use are to be re-allocated. Is this true? This phone is a small easily carried unit with a very cool slide out keyboard and "could be" considered a collector's item.

Thankyou for any help/info. provided.

Do Phone apps such as TrueCaller keep a blacklist of blocked numbers

Here in Switzerland, I receive quite some unwanted commercial calls from insurance companies typically.

I've been using Android's default Phone app for a while and blocked numbers and marked them as spam.
Then, I installed TrueCaller.
I'm wondering if blocking numbers and marking them as spam contributes to some sort of blacklist that could benefit to everyone by blocking numbers marked by a certain number of people as spam or if no such shared centralized information exists.

By the way, if an app where blocking and marking as spam was shared among users, I'd be interested.

Thanks

Google sign in popups

Recently I added a recently created Gmail account to my Aqua Mail. Now I am getting popups asking me to login to various websites. I got rid of this once using instructions I found, basically checking a setting in the security tab of the Google settings. Ther is only one problem. What I find in my Google account seems to have changed and I can't find the setting that these sites mention to change How do I stop the login popups now?

Another thing, when I added the new email address, I now gave two Google accounts showing when I click on my initial icon in the upper right? How do I remove one of them, the one that is causing me to get login popups?

Thanks,

Danny

Ampere app - strange readings?

Ampere (an app to show battery charge or discharge rate) doesn't seem to work properly for me. I'm using a Samsung A10. The charging socket is poor (rusty/dirty?), so I was checking the charging speed.

With the phone idling and the screen on, with it plugged into the charger, the battery charges at 90mA. Unplug the charger and it discharges at 350mA. So we can conclude I'm using 350mA, and the charger supplies 440mA (powering the phone and a bit left over for the battery).

But.... when I instruct the phone to run Boinc (a science program which uses the CPU to 100%), the charging speed increases to 140mA. How is this possible? If I use more power, how does the battery charge faster?

Reconsider allowing texting-talk?

The rules of this site allow texting-talk, and other non-standard forms of English. Perhaps it's time to reconsider. Multiple times: Someone's come to this site, and it's been difficult to understand him because of his non-standard English. I'm starting to consider just not responding when someone who (for example) doesn't capitalize the first letter of a sentence asks for help with an Android problem.

To be clear: This is not about people who are still learning English! It's one thing if English is your second language, and you have trouble with it. It's another thing if you're not even trying. And if you don't capitalize the first letter of a sentence, if you spell the word "you" as "u", then you're not even trying.

Unlocked Phone only works on Vodafone

Hello All.

I have a really weird issue with my Samsung Galaxy S8 phone. I am UK based. I used to be on the 3 network and switched recently to GiffGaff due to their very competitive international calling rates. I had no problems on either of these carriers until late last week, when I could not make or receive calls. I was able to send and receive text messages, and use the 4G for internet access.

After trying SIM cards from the different carriers, the only one that works is the one from Vodafone. It seems like the phone suddenly became locked to this carrier.

I was wondering if anyone has come across this before and if so, how did you resolve it? I suspect that my phone is going to stop working soon and I will need to replace it.

Thank you in advance for any assistance that you may provide.

Help Hacked Google pixel 4xl

So I've seen a few posts on here which have a lot of similarities to what I've been going through for the last year. About a year ago I noticed a lot of bloatware in my phone. Apps that I can't get rid of that have permissions that are completely unnecessary. When I look deeper into my system apps and compare them to a normal operating system It showed me that somehow my phone isn't running the factory version of a Google pixel. Once I started digging deeper into the problem I noticed the issue had spread to all your devices. When I brought the phone into a telus store and explain my issue the cocky employee told me this was all normal. When my card declined after I had to buy a new SIM card thanks to a SIM pin suddenly disabling my ability to use my phone I knew something was wrong. I went directly to my bank only to discover thousands of dollars of transactions sent through e-transfer in small denominations had been going out of my account. After further investigation I learned that not only was my bank account being drained but my credit cards had been billed for $25,000. This happens several more times to me the next few weeks. In total I lost about $125,000, once I reported it TD Bank never returned a single dollar of the $26,000 I lost even after my bank account had no email or phone number attached and they still managed to eat transfer thousands of dollars out of my account. Mastercard was able to refund the $100,000 in stolen charges only after a secondary phone number and email was set up and I had never heard of either of them. At that point the fraud representative took me very seriously and told me I was the first person they had dealt with where they're voice recognition technology had failed to distinguish me from another person and told me to use that in my efforts to get my money back from the bank. I could probably write a novel with what continued on from this but I'll try and keep it on point and not go into everything. I ended up going through 12 cell phones in 2 months trying to keep myself connected things kept happening like phone calls my friends had made never reaching my phone. Secondary accounts being added to my email and giving themselves admin authority. Requests were made to download all of my information off social media and through my emails and once the package was ready the passwords were all changed as well as the backup phone numbers and back up emails for log in. I have hard reset the phone over 20 times and even went in and had it professionally wiped only to have the same programs. Tellus had offered to give me free phones and return for not going to the media and causing a panic since I could see my phone was making its own network and suddenly my apps were doing things that shouldn't. For instance my Google maps had information on who lived in the homes I was viewing a lot of personal information if I was to zoom in on any Radom house. I also ended up with a 20 GB zip file that contained client data from tellus including information that is protected by privacy laws. It gave me the coordinates that phone calls were made from their account numbers their sin numbers and when I told that to one of the engineers I had spoken to she told me that only a judge would have access to that because it's protected by law and locked deep in their system. They tried to switch me to iPhone hoping the different operating system would fix the issue and that it would not carry over to that but before I had even used the phone to call anyone somehow the applications made it onto this phone as well. And it was not connected or anywhere near any device that I had used before. Brand new account that wasn't carried over just to be safe, new email I made right there, different phone number. At that point I couldn't understand what was happening. When I talk to AppleCare they passed me along to the development team and I was given privilege to use lockdown mode before it was released because I was told I had the most aggressive case of hacking that they have ever come across and they were training for this but had yet to see it. Lockdown mode helped for about an hour before it had no effect and suddenly there was custom exceptions made on the device that bypassed any security. My phone also was able to make 1500 phone calls without my consent or knowledge I only noticed it in my notifications that all of my contacts were called at once and when I clicked on it they all said they were still ongoing calls. I was burning through 200 gigs of data a day and even my smart TV suddenly had Microsoft and Google apps that were never there before and my microphone was now unusable to search for things because it said the TV was in listen mode. I tried to call every tech company and most of the time my phone would rather lock me out or it would say default route hardware 9. Anytime I spoke with anyone who understood what was happening I would never hear back from them again. I would have interactions with them through closed captioning that would turn on and not match what was playing on the TV. It would literally be talking to me and asked me to take the phone to a hospital and plug it in and report it stolen. All of this is so hard to believe but I feel like it needs to be said because I'm a pretty level-headed person with a lot of resources and I had the most trouble with this you can imagine. Government agencies all tried to pass the buck to something else, police agencies were useless and tried to pass it off to the tech companies stating that they were only law enforcement and can't deal with things on a national level like this since it was giving me information about zero day attacks on infrastructure, like Rogers wireless last July when it service is went down I was informed of this a month before it happened and absolutely nobody took it seriously until it happened on the day I said it would. National security agencies told me that unless I knew more information about ongoing future attacks that they would only be able to refer me to police agencies but after getting no help the first time I had no faith. I moved from Vancouver to Alberta for 6 months and I had no issues, I moved back 2 months ago and noticed it happening again. Was locked out of my social media once again and was unable to retrieve them, as a precautionary step I stopped using my bank accounts because of what happened last year. Once I stop trying to delete the programs the hijacking of my account stopped. All of my apps have full capabilities even though at first glance they don't. When I click on show all permissions even simple apps like flashlight have the ability to control network access and send sticky broadcasts as well as control call logs and rewrite contacts without user consent. When I had a developer look at my phone they told me that I was running a custom ROM and have never installed anything like that on this phone. So I'm not expecting anyone to be able to solve this because I've been dealing with it for over a year and for other people think it's science fiction or they have no idea of what is going on. I even had a computer programmer run home to unplug his external hard drives once he looked at my phone. I can tell that this is not a me problem it is widespread since I have Show my friends who doubted me all the same altered programs in their phones. It appears to me like the program lies dormant in a phone until The phone senses a threat to its programming or exposure. The harder I worked at trying to regain my privacy and freedom the worse the activity got. At one point I literally had the phone go half black at the top with a list of 17 files and extortion list written about it. I have gone back to my original Google pixel since every other phone I've gotten over the last 2 years seems to fall apart shortly after I start using it. I don't know why but this is the preferred phone for whatever this is. They use a lot of Google programs and to be honest I don't even understand how I was able to spot this because it's very well hidden. Everything is masked in legitimate programs but if you really take a deep look you can see how it's not what it appears. So I hope the hardships I've gone through in the last year and the story helps somebody. If anyone has any useful information please feel free to comment. I'm going to try and wipe my kernel out and reinstall the factory ROM as the last attempt. With some luck the the system updates that I haven't been getting are able to disable whatever connection this outside interference has been using. I've heard of hackers finding targets and staying with them for years. I'm just hoping I'll be able to be free of this one day. Thanks for listening
