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.
