Will a charging port flap cover on a Motorola G7 Play case damage the device while it's charging?

Will a charging port flap cover on a Motorola G7 Play case damage the device while it's charging? I have a Poetic case for my Motorola G7 Play and it has a charging port cover/flap that covers the port. When I plug the charger in the flap sort of pushed against the charging connector, will this at all damage the charging port?

Call blocker operation

In the last few days I've started to get calls and voice mail from a scam caller. A check on a reporting website confirms the same two numbers are affecting other Virgin Mobile customers. Using Phone Settings/Block Numbers, I've blocked them but I've still had a notification of a missed call and a voice mail from the blocked numbers since then. There's no audible notification of the call's arrival, which I'm assuming is due to the blocking function, but it's disturbing to see the logs.

The symbol for the voice mail stays on the top line menu of the phone and I can't get rid of it. Earlier, I'd been able to clear it by restarting the phone but what happens now is that when I restart the phone I get a fresh voicemail notification.

Is this the normal operation with blocked numbers or is it something I should be taking up with Virgin Mobile?

Thanks,

Ian

Google Now on a new phone

I would like to upgrade to a OnePlus 7t, don't want to give up the Google Now Launcher.
I am using Google Now launcher with android 9.0 on my OnePlus 5. There must be some way to move the app from my old phone to the new phone without rooting.
I have looked at Action Launcher, Nova etc. Not for me. These other launchers use a different alogrithm for the cards.

BEST CHOICE FOR ANDROID OR LINUX TV-BOX (cheap, updates and community) ?

First of all, sorry for my spelling, my english is not the best.

I know that there's a lot of chinese tv-boxes that run android and also a lot of single board computers in which you can install it (for example pine64 boards)

But it's well known that, in opposite to mobile phones, there is no brand or manufacturer that is critically acclaimed based on price, community support and regular updates.

I mean, if you have a smartphone you know that if you buy a google pixel, a oneplus, a samsung galaxy, a xiaomi etc. you know that you're buying a good phone (in some cases also cheap like the oneplus or xiaomi), and you 'll have official updates for a while, and in the case you don't, you have a large community cooking roms and extending your phone life.

I don't see this on tv boxes, and this become important in the case of tv subscription apps.
There's a lot of android apps that drops support on old versions of android (for example netflix, directv, fox, etc.). So, you can have a hardware capable box in terms of hardware (processor, RAM, GPU, etc.), able to upgrade to a new android version, but you get caught on the lack of will of your manufacturer on upgrading your android version.
You end up with a box with good hardware but you can't use your updated apps (because of course, the majority of that apps don't let you watch content anymore until you upgrade).

So, all this introduction is to ask if any of you know any box or single board computer that have regular official updates or a good community.

I know, raspberry is the best choice on community resources, but is well know that at the date it cannot run android normally.

I have a pi3 and it's terrible on running android, i also know that the new pi4 (with 4gb of ram!!!) does not come with out-of-the-box or official android compatibility and the guys that tried to install it came up with the same results as in the raspberry pi3.

Libreelec on rpi is not an option, because what i want is to run subscription sites (like fox, tnt, directv, my own cable operator app, etc.) and libreelec doesn 't have any addon to run these (i now that there's a lot of iptv sources but is difficult to find a good stream and i'm paying for these subscriptions)


Raspbian on rpi is also not an option ¿why? because, of course, this tv services can be accessed by their own site, but hardware aceleration for streaming video on raspbian doesn 't work well, so, yo cannot play youtube videos on 1080 fullscreen, and of course no other suscription page (is not a hardware thing, is a software thing, libreelec can play 1080p videos on raspberry). There is a solution specifically for youtube via omxplayer but doesnt work for other html5 sites.

I know that the pine64 androck64 boards come with android support but i dont know if those are good buys.

I don't want speccifically an android OS, but i think i will be easer an cheaper, if there´s one that run linux and you can have HW accelaration it would be great (because sites like netflix, fox etc. has their own html5 webpages to watch content).

What i have and what and tried:
1-) I have a raspberry pi 3, an incredible device that can run kodi, linux, and almost anything, unless android.
- libreelec: its almost perfect, but doesn't have addons for pay sites like fox, directv, hbo tc. to watch suscription content
- android: There's a lot of community builds but they are really alpha stage, really slow, and can´t do any HW acceleration and, if you want to have a tv box you will use it 90% to watch video, so it´s not an option.
- raspbian: you don 't have HW acceleration on html5 pages
I think if this one had the android compatibility will be the best choice, its a huge community , but it doesnt

- I bought a kii pro tv box (CPU: Amlogic S905 Quad Core - GPU: Mali-450 - 2GB), it runs well 1080p but it start to get slow when you try 4k videos.
But that's no problem for me now.
It also, of course, comes with a really little support (official and community) it is difficult to find how to root it, how to patch some things etc.
The real problem with this device is that for now i'm stuck on lollipop and i know that some time form now i will be unable to run some apps (not because of the hardware, like a said, but because of the android version).

So, in some months from now maybe i'll have a box with good hardware but no possibility to use it like a want.

I don't want this to happen again to me. If i buy some device i want to extend my device life for tv use.

Do you have any recommendation ?
Resuming, i want something relatively cheap to watch NAS content, and also streaming services (netflix, hbo, fox, etc.), but i want you to reccomend me something with a good community and by a manufacturer that periodically updates the roms or firmware,
I don't care if its linux, android, windows etc.
The closest to this is the raspberry but like i said it lcks support for this particllary thing
i also benn putting my eyes on the pine boards.
are ines ingleboards good?
is tehere any singleboard better?
and, out of the single boards, are there any android tv box well mainaned by community or manfecuater?

Thanks in advance

Improper export of android application components

Hi I found an app that have exported an unprotected activity(that means that any other app can have access to it) that when it launches have access to the local storage files. Is this considered as an important vulnerability? as an attacker can use a malicious apk to exploit this exported activity an access to the sdcard, even if the malicious apk doesn't have the permission to.

lost bluetooth camera shutter functionality w/ PIE update?

Hello all.
I am on an LG V30.
Until the latest update, I was using a product called "AB shutter 3" (The matching app is no longer in the play store), It's small plastic button that opens your camera and clicks a shot every time you press it.

As with all bluetooth shutters or buttons, it basically just "clicks" a shortcut icon, or clicks something in a folder.

My problem is the following.
The bluetooth paring is working FINE, but now when I click the button, it opens "ringtone volume" which is located in "/storage/emulated/0", instead of the icon it used to click, which was my camera icon, on my desktop top left icon position.
If I can figure out how to put a "camera" shortcut into the "/storage/emulated/0" folder, I think I can get this to work again.


If I open the camera manually it will work as a shutter button, it just will not open the app like it use to.
Anyone else having trouble with bluetooth camera triggers with the new update?"

Also: Would it hurt to downgrade?

Thanks.

PI update disables my bluetooth shutter button

I am using the popular "AB Shutter"
Bluetooth is paring perfectly, but the shutter buttons ( small for android large for iOS)
By Default the shutter clicked on the first item on the android desktop top left, so I put my camera button there.
Now little button does nothing, but if I hold it down it goes to the "Choose widget or item" for homescreen.

Anyone know what to do about it?
thanks!

Help How do I wipe device that has only 2% battery?

I did not post this in the LG section because my question applies to android in general, not just my device. I have a new LG Stylo4 that has a bad charging port. Tracfone sent me a new phone and a label to send back the defective phone. I don't get that phone back. I keep the new one and assume they repair and resell the return. The problem is that the defective unit has only 2% battery remaining so it won't allow a factory reset. When they get this return back and replace the charging port all of my personal information will be available the next time it is turned on. I have no screen locking enabled because I only use the phone at home (no lectures please, I know...).

Is there a way to secure my data on this phone that I am sending back? Will the "erase my device" in android device manager work if I allow the phone to go to 0% then when it is powered on it will erase the information immediately? I'm at a loss how to do this properly but I have to think there is a solution as this seems like a potential security risk for people in similar shoes. Any help would be appreciated!

APN removed Android 10?

So I will post both pictures of my chat with the help service and the screen that is missing the add apn option. I can't get help to register this as a problem (others are facing as well from searching the web). They need to update to add apn. Or say why they removed the option to add an apn.

This image is missing the add apn symbol that should be in the upper right where the search bar is now.

If I am incorrect and this is a carrier issue somehow, can someone please confirm that Verizon controls what options I have on this phone ux?
