Let's Create A New Build Prop Tweak..

I increased my data speed by playing with build prop..BIG BIG BIG BIG TIME..you know sometimes your phone enters and exists off of the network several times a day..for numerous reasons..whether because you are close to a big mass of trees..like a big forest park..like central park..or close to a big antenna radio or television..or close to a lake..or simply because you have a very awful network like T-Mobile..well let me telll you..my Note4 doesn't act like that any more..it just stays connected not matter what..and always in a wow speed..

My point is that those build prop modifications and add-ons some guys have come up with..they honestly work!

Now, truth said..I don't think it is just the the build prop hack I did..I also invented a task on Tasker for it..

I did try for about a week the option there's in developer tab that keeps the data on at all the times..but I didn't wanna keep having that on for longer because those options in developer aren't to play with..

So I chosed different venues..and that's what I came up with..with SUPER GREAT RESULTS!!

So I was hoping some one is reading me..some one advance in the build prop..some of those guys who invented the BUILD PROPS TWEAKS..So this person can help us tweak it to bring the "once or always" dialog into the phone..I'm very sure..more than sure that can be adquired and accomplished..I am just not that advance.

Aiuto - Android App & MySQL DB

Ciao a tutti ragazzi,
Sono principalmente uno sviluppatore JAVA, non ho mai lavorato con android ed app per android; tuttavia, mi è stato richiesto di provare a creare una app che permettesse, scrivendo dei dati nei TextField, di inserirli successivamente in un database MySQL (Utilizzo DBForge su Java, mentre per questo esercizio ho sfruttato WampServer con PHPMyAdmin). Nonostante la creazione della app in se sia stata piuttosto facile, la parte complicata è quella di far comunicare il DB con Android, a quanto pare non è così immediato come con Java. Cercando su Youtube tra vari tutorial ne ho trovato uno che mi ha permesso di arrivare alla fine del mio lavoro; tuttavia quando clicco sul bottone "REGISTRA" del mio programmino compare l'alert che dice "Dati registrati con successo", ma nei miei database non è stato inserito niente, non capisco dove li abbia inseriti o dove siano finiti quei dati. Posso postare i miei codici di seguito per avere qualche aiuto?

Grazie in anticipo.

Did I break my water seal?

I just got this note 10+ a few days ago. I bought an otterbox defender screenless edition case for it. It was hard getting the phone into it. I was afraid I was going to break the phone because I had to push so hard to get it in. I don't know how I'll ever get it out of the case if I ever needed to.

But after I got the phone in the case, I noticed a piece of plastic hanging down from the top of the screen coming out from the case. I just pulled the plastic out. (Needed to use needle nose pliers because the case is so tight.) But now I also see a smaller plastic piece at the bottom of the screen.

Just wondering if that plastic i pulled off was a water sealer. I'm guessing not. It would seem to me Samsung would've sealed it on the inside of the phone. Maybe it was just factory packaging tape that i didn't notice before i put it in the case.

Moto G4 USB Connection Issue

I've tried everything, but I can't get my moto g4 to connect via USB. The USB cord is proven good, does data and power, MTP does NOT show up under device manager, nor does "other devices", etc.

I've tried the MTP Porting kit, to no avail. Moto Device Manager doesn't work either.

I don't want to lose all the stuff on my phone. Can I just reset the USB ports? All the USB ports on my W7 PC work fine, and recognize other devices.

Any ideas?

Help Fine volume control (try again)

I've got a Moto One Power running latest version of Android Q. How can I get fine volume control? Currently the volume level is either too high or too low. Hitting my volume button just once makes it go from too soft to too loud no matter what music app I'm in. I've looked at fine volume control apps but they're all very old and haven't been updated in years. And the fine volume control apps I tried don't work. How can I get fine volume control on my Android? Do I need to root my phone to get this? Any one else have this issue?
Let me know if this post needs to go somewhere else. Thanks,

PS: I thought I resolved it on this thread but turns out the solution didn't work.

HTML5 Geolocation not working in Android Webview

I am currently building a webview application for android using android studio. The website that i am trying to wrap within a webview implements a simple geolocation system that tracks the current location of the user and stores latitude and longitude.

I am able to get the desired result in desktop browser and in mobile browser, but not in webview. I have tried some of the solutions on other forums, but nothing seems to solve this.

The project is built in AngularJS 1.4.8. I am not using any framework like ionic or framework7. To get the location, I have used HTML5 Geolocation.



My AngularJS Code to get current location (works fine in browser):
Code:
$scope.getLocation = function () {
        if(navigator.geolocation){
                navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(showPosition, showError);
                //alert("work");

            } else {
                x.innerHTML = "Geolocation is not supported by this browser.";
                alert("Geolocation is not supported by this browser");
            }
        }

         function showPosition(position) {
            alert("position");
               var latitude_val ,longitude_val ;
               latitude_val = position.coords.latitude ;
               longitude_val = position.coords.longitude ;
               alert("lat"+latitude_val + "lon"+longitude_val)
            }

            function showError(error) {
                var error;
                switch(error.code) {
                    case error.PERMISSION_DENIED:
                    error = "User denied the request for Geolocation."
                    break;
                    case error.POSITION_UNAVAILABLE:
                    error = "Location information is unavailable."
                    break;
                    case error.TIMEOUT:
                    error = "The request to get user location timed out."
                    break;
                    case error.UNKNOWN_ERROR:
                    error = "An unknown error occurred."
                    break;
                }

                alert(error);
            }

Need Help Setting Up Play Store on Chinese Phone

Hello, I recently bought an Android phone in China, not exactly sure the model, a 9X something or other, it was written in Chinese, but it's the brand DOOV.

I was able to get my VPN set up, no problem, but I was reading somewhere that in order to get the play store set up on Androids purchased in China, you need to set up the Google Firmware and such, so I downloaded it, it seems to install just fine, but once I open the play store it's just a blank white page.

Sorry I can't be more specific, if you need any more information, feel free to ask. Thanks in advance!

Motorola G5 Plus , model number XT1686 has crashed (got into bootloop during manual restart)

My mobile phone Motorola G5 Plus , model number XT1686 has crashed (got into bootloop during manual restart) . Have installed the latest Lenovo Motorola Service Assistant on Laptop from motorola website .

What happens if i try to wipe the cache partition from the recovery mode .

Attaching the phone in fast boot mode with the laptop with the lmsa_v4.5.0.14_setup is asking to download phone software recovery package which approx 1.3 GB. downloading the same on to my laptop . Prefer to go for a soft reset without wiping out the data.

Have tried wiping out the Cache memory only from Fastboot-> Recovery Mood > Wipe Cache Partition on my Moto G5 Plus and attempted restart in normal mode as well as factory mode from fast boot but the phone continues to restart after the password is typed in to the phone. Problem occurred since yesterday night after i attempted a normal phone restart .

Post installation of Lenovo Motorola Smart Assistant Latest version got the phone in fastboot mode and connected to the laptop, went to the Flash Tab and two options are available :-
1 - Upgrade
2- Rescue

Choose "Switch to Rescue" button on the User Interface of the application under Rescue Section which took asked to enter the model details of the phone followed by connecting the phone phone to the laptop. After connecting the phone in fast boot mode it detected the phone and downloaded a 1.3 GB of zip file for flashing the phone but the Application showed a message that it might erase the data on the phone memory hence did not go forward with the flashing .

Need to find out some way of fixing the boot issue or ways to recover data from the phone memory at any cost . If any paid software and methods capable of doing so I am looking forward to getting the same done as the data is precious.

It kills more people than cancer worldwide...

...and I survived it.

Sepsis.

On tonight's ABC World News Tonight, David Muir cited a new study showing that, globally, 1 in 5 deaths is caused by sepsis; 270,000 deaths in the US annually; 20 deaths per minute worldwide. :o

I believe these are the Lancet study articles referenced on the news: A global accounting of sepsis and Global, regional, and national sepsis incidence....

If you don't know, sepsis is the body's over-reaction to infection, in which your blood basically becomes poisoned. As it circulates through your body, it wreaks havoc on every organ system, every cell...everything, causing organ failure. In my case, I had multi-organ failure: cardiac, renal, and respiratory.

For those of us who survive, it's not necessarily over. Some of us, myself included, suffer from Post-Sepsis Syndrome, which has its own set of problems. Some patients eventually recover...but many don't. I'm still in the "it's going to get better someday!" mindset. I'll believe that until proven otherwise. :D

Root Pixel 2xl

I can't root this phone, because there is no factory image for "Taimen" QQ1A.200105.002 (January 2020). Installed android 10 a couple of weeks ago, but still waiting. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.:nailbitingdroid: Sorry, please disregard. Found it. The file that i found is an OTA file, not a Factory Image file, and is no good for rooting. Looks like i still need some help. Thanks

Button to Lower Volume Not Pressing - Can't Silence Phone when in Vibrate Mode

The lowering volume button on the right side is not pressing (think it broke), so I can't lower the volume my pressing it. I have to press the upper raise volume button and then drag to the left to lower the volume.

1. I am pretty sure the button broke or something which I can live with, as long as I can lower the volume with the above method.

2. However, I cannot place the phone in silent mode. I drag the cursor all the way to the left to try to get to silence mode, but it only goes until vibrate mode. Looked under Settings and Sound to see if I can enter silence mode from there, but did not find out a way.

How can I place the phone in silent mode since my "lower volume" button on the right side just broke?

Android Chrome - Articles for You

Is it possible to remove specific sites from the Articles for You suggestions on Android Chrome?

I tried searching for this before posting, but I could not find anything relevant. I want to keep Articles for You enabled as I do not mind the feature, but I'd like the content to improve, instead of Google sending click-bait nonsense. I thought I found how to do that with Google News and also tried changing the settings within the Chrome enable flags, but it is still suggesting the couple sites that I'm trying to remove. Any help is appreciated!

In case it matters, this is on a Samsung S9.

Check your devices for these 'fleeceware' apps

More than 600 million users have installed 'fleeceware' apps from the Play Store, and this ZDNet article lists the 25 offending apps.

If you're unaware of the term fleeceware, "It refers to apps that abuse the ability for Android apps to run trial periods before a payment is charged to the user's account."

Last fall, an earlier set of fleeceware apps was exposed; although those should be gone from Play, you still might want to verify that none is still installed on your devices.

Honestly...what will scammers think of next?! :angry:

Connecting Bluetooth Headphones to Hisense Android TV

I've got a brand new 4K Hisense Android TV (2019) and have it connected to a Sonos Play Bar. I've also got bluetooth headphones which are nice to use when someone else in the house doesn't want to be bothered by whatever garbage is playing (bah humbug).

The Hisense TV connects to the Bluetooth headphones perfectly fine on the first try but the NEXT time you try to use them you've got to pair them from scratch. It remembers the device but doesn't say "connected" and there is no option in any settings menu to "connect". You've got to unpair the headphones and pair them all over again. It's not the worst thing in the world but beyond mildly annoying.

Anyone have a solution to this? Or at least a reason it's happening?

UPDATE
Even with the connection active the Bluetooth audio doesn't work properly (with Airpod Pro headphones). The audio doesn't properly sync and changing audio modes somehow forces the audio to be lowered to the point that you can hardly hear anything.

If we could fix this with an audio delay and save the profile or something that would be fine but it's not possible.

Maybe the solution is to buy a TV that's not so crappy but thinking it could also be something I'm overlooking, issue with Airpods specifically, or a conflict with the Sonos (which seems unlikely since the problem occurs with the Sonos unplugged)
