Has anyone had problems recording phone calls on a Pixel 6 Pro with its internal speaker on using a PC voice recording app and an external mic?

PS... I live in a state with “single-party consent”.

Wife had an old tablet. Battery would last about an hour. She bought a Pixel Tablet. It's really thin and light weight. The audio is really good. I wish it had a stylus and it's a bit pricey. Happy wife, happy life.

Hi.

This night I went to sleep, left my Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 charging, and when woke up the phone was off, with the white light on. When tried to turn on, it stays in the Mi.com logo. So I think its a soft brick.

For adittional info: Lately the phone was slow, with storage at high.

Looking for answerings, I went through some tutorials. But I would like to maintain my data. The usual stuff as photos, and some info that is into a note app.

Saying that, the things arent looking well, since I never changed my OS and anything, so its probably with its bootloader locked.

I found this portuguese tutorial:

Basically it says where to download image and some files. Install adb. Enter the fastboot mode in the phone (I was able to do that) and some commands to execute in cmd. They are:

fastboot flash xbl xbl.elf
fastboot flash xblbak xbl.elf
fastboot flash tz tz.mbn
fastboot flash tzbak tz.mbn
fastboot flash rpm rpm.mbn
fastboot flash rpmbak rpm.mbn
fastboot flash hyp hyp.mbn
fastboot flash hypbak hyp.mbn
fastboot flash pmic pmic.elf
fastboot flash pmicbak pmic.elf
fastboot flash keymaster keymaster.mbn
fastboot flash keymasterbak keymaster.mbn
fastboot flash cmnlib cmnlib.mbn
fastboot flash cmnlibbak cmnlib.mbn
fastboot flash cmnlib64 cmnlib64.mbn
fastboot flash cmnlib64bak cmnlib64.mbn
fastboot flash mdtpsecapp mdtpsecapp.mbn
fastboot flash mdtpsecappbak mdtpsecapp.mbn
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash dsp dspso.bin
fastboot flash bluetooth BTFM.bin
fastboot flash storsec storsec.mbn
fastboot flash storsecbak storsec.mbn
fastboot flash devcfg devcfg.mbn
fastboot flash devcfgbak devcfg.mbn
fastboot flash abl abl.elf
fastboot flash ablbak abl.elf
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash mdtp mdtp.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash splash splash.img
fastboot erase ddr
fastboot erase misc
fastboot erase apdp
fastboot erase msadp
fastboot flash cust cust.img
rem fastboot erase config
fastboot reboot

Looking at these commands, it looks like it will wipe the data, with the command:

fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

So, if I remove this command, and try to execute the rest, it should flash the rom and dont wipe the data?
Or it can cause some more problems to the phone?

What would you guys suggest to me to get out of this situation, preferencly with my data?

Thanks.

In my company we have custom software that runs off of android tablets. this last batch is samsung active pro 4 10 inch tablets. they run in vehicles, so we have a usb c hub providing power, ethernet and a serial usb connection. I can tell that our ethernet bridge is up, but it seems like it is taking 5-10 minutes sometimes for the tablet to show that the ethernet is providing a connection. My only thought is that the tablet only checks that connection for internet every few minutes. So if the tablet checked for a connection at 10am, radio came back online 15 seconds later, the tablet wouldnt check again for 5 minutes. is there a way i can force the tablet to check more often? our drivers are frustrated that they have to wait. i'd like to say that we would put in a cbrs network or fully mesh wifi in these locations, but some of these outdoor sites are over a mile long, and in the past we've been able to accomplish our connection requirements w one main ap for the trucks and ethernet bridges, so i'd like to avoid adding 60 radios to manage on each site.

Thanks for any ideas!

My phone has been locked for fifteen days because I added a Google account to the factory reset settings. It has become linked to only one account, and I have forgotten all its information. Do you have a way to solve this problem, as shown in the picture, a Google account after a Victory reset? I want a solution, thank you

My original thread title (question) was: Why don't voice recorder PC apps record callers' voices when the phone is on speaker?

However, I would not be surprised in the least if Google modified callers' voices broadcast from the Pixel's speaker to prevent their voices from being recorded by PC voice recorder apps.

I look forward to your comments, thought, theories, and facts!

Thanks!

Here are the particulars...

Phone: Pixel 6 Pro with Android Version 13
PC: 64-bit HP Envy x360 with Windows 11 Home Edition Version 10.0.22621 Build 22621
Mic: Kingston HyperX Solocast Model SLC001
Apps

Stefan "Heufneutje" Frijters' Audio and Voice Recorder Version 2.1.0

Microsoft Sound Recorder Version 11.2304.25.0

Audacity 3.3.1
Recording and Playback Behaviour

The sound level meters in all three apps report suitable sound levels for me and the callers whose voices are being broadcast from the phone's speaker.

Suitable sound levels for the callers and me are achieved by carefully positioning the mic relative to the phone's speaker and my mouth.

During playback, my voice is crisp and clear, but the callers' voices are essentially inaudible, and during the very brief periods of time when the callers' voices were detectable, their speech was incomprehensible.

Which, if any, of the following has otg: Samsung Zfold 3, Samsung A02s, Moto G Play (2021), Blu B140DL? That last is the government version, no sd card. I would like to.get powered otg cable(s) and be able to connect directly to that Toshiba 2 tb portable hard drive, but it makes no sense to incur the expense f none of them has the capability.

I love the phone but I hate the battery life. Is there a way get an upgraded battery? I have the stock battery in it.

My wife has Samsung A22, just recently she has this notification popping up (see attachment), it is trying to get her to download antivirus from a website. As you can see she already has AVG installed on her phone. I ran the AVG but it did not get rid of it, if you clear the notification, it comes back immediately.
How can I get rid of this?

First good night to everybody. I was wondering if someone knows that macro droid trigger that can in a way use a specific word that appears in a specific package trigger. I want to code something similar for my android app. 😊Hope someone can help me

askingmoto · Jul 11, 2023

Hi, could someone tell me how can I set up a password or pin code so that my Motorola edge 30 requires it when someone tries to switch it off?

It has a lock screen now (pin) but the phone could be switched off without the pin.

Thanks!

Looking around the posts, and I'm sure hoping there's some other hardcore smart home tinkerers like me. I've probably got over 1k man hours and $20k+ invested in my smart home system and I'd love to talk shop.

I want an Internet-connected camera with the best quality at the lowest price. I do NOT want to connect the camera to a mobile network. I will attach it to the Internet through a local WAN.

My actual use case for this will be doing time lapse photos of various parts of my yard, trying to understand how the sun hits particular seating areas throughout the day, at different times of year. I will put the phone on a tripod and let the time lapse do its thing.

Given that I do not need or want the expense of a monthly mobile phone network charge, what would be some of the best options in a used phone for this application?

I recently changed my project to a Compose app. I safely deleted my now redundant fragments and their XML files, and removed all references to them.

Now when I try and build my file, it crashes with the error:

Code:

Execution failed for task ':app:extractDeepLinksDebug'.
> org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 1; columnNumber: 1; Content is not allowed in prolog.

The only XML file I changed that still exists is my main acitivity XML, and it is correct. I opened it in a basic text editor and there are no invisible characters. I manually deleted the caches from the .android and .gradle folders, and deleted my build folder. I'm still getting this error. What are other possible reasons for it? Here is my XML file:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:paddingTop="?android:attr/actionBarSize"
    android:id="@+id/content">
    <androidx.compose.ui.platform.ComposeView
        android:id="@+id/main_compose"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

And here are the first of hundreds of lines of stack trace:

I can only assume that perhaps some kind of reference remains to my deleted XML files, but I can't find any. Are there hidden files, and if so, how do I access them?

My wife saw some channels on a friend's TV from the Firestick and asked me to find out what they are.
I tried searching and had no luck. Can anyone ID these?

I am about to take a bunch of photos of stuff that belong together. The camera apparently saves all photos to a single location. Creating an album is something you have to do after the fact, in Gallery. This seems very disorganized to me and creates an unnecessary manual step with opportunity for errors.

What I would like is for every time I take a new picture, for that picture to be automatically associated with a specific project I selected beforehand - so the photo is placed automatically in a project-specific photo album or in a project-specific folder. Is this possible with some custom Camera app, maybe?

yenomay864 · Jul 9, 2023

please help! "open camera" app removed the resolution of 176x144 in the newer devices, please help me bring it back

the "open camera" open source app uses the camera2 api for listing the avaliable photo resolutions, on older devices such as S8,S9 users had low resolutions such as 176x144 bit on the s20 and s22 that resolution isn't available.

if anyone could add that resolution to the newer devices would help everyone so much.

Hi everyone.

Is there a way to have Dark mode automatically enabled when you connect to a WiFi network?
