Hey everyone, hoping someone can lead me down a path that doesn't involve sketchy ad laced sites.

Have a guy who brought in a Blu Vivo One Plus, usual story had done a factory reset, doesn't know the account it was originally activated on, can't get past the Google verification screen, no option to skip. And of course no USB debugging pre-enabled.

So from what I've found online so far I've found a few guides on using the Smart Phone Flash Tool, but the guides seem to have some major plot holes in them and i can't follow the story the whole way through. I find this seems to be the typical case when trying to revive an Android device.

Hoping you guys know of what tools I'll need and where I can get them from without an arse-load of malware.

Hello all,

I have a problem with Android that I hope someone here knows a solution.

We have a display from China that runs on Android 7.0, which seems to refresh every so many minutes (automatically). If I open a browser then you see that that page is reloaded automatically (not a problem in itself), but also if I have an app open that should actually be visible on that display all day, then the refresh also seems to finish the app to close. See the video here;

Is anyone familiar with what this can be and how I can fix it?

Many thanks in advance!

You can now opt in on the Android Q beta program. Go to https://www.google.com/android/beta#devices and opt in. I haven't got the OTA yet, but it's nice to be able to opt in to the program.

I have successfully recognised the bluetooth device (HC-05), I got its name, MAC address, and bond state, but when I'm trying to create a client socket in order to initiate a bluetooth connection with it I got a null socket.

This is my code:

//initializing bluetooth adapter
val bluetoothAdapter: BluetoothAdapter? = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter()
if (bluetoothAdapter?.isEnabled == false) {
val enableBtIntent = Intent(BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_REQUEST_ENABLE)
startActivityForResult(enableBtIntent, REQUEST_ENABLE_BT)
}

//creating a list of PAIRED DEVICES
val pairedDevices: Set<BluetoothDevice>? = bluetoothAdapter?.bondedDevices

//define a BluetoothDevice (the first on the list)
pairedDevices?.forEach { device ->
val deviceName = device.name
val deviceHardwareAddress = device.address // MAC address
val arduino: BluetoothDevice = pairedDevices.first()

Then i try:

val arduinoSocket = arduino?.createRfcommSocketToServiceRecord(uuid)

which is null.

The UUID is:
private val uuid = UUID.fromString("00001101-0000-1000-8000-00805F9B34FB")

Any insights? Thanks

As a student, I have a project where I must analyze the CPU load of every core in multi-core and Big.little architectures. I execute some applications on recent Android devices (Oreo 8.0). From what I've seen on the internet, it seems that the CPU load (average and detailled for each core) is not available anymore to developers. Therefore, it is impossible for me to analyze it, unless I try to root all my devices to unlock features.

I currently have 3 devices: a Samsung A5 (2017), a Samsung A7 (2018) and a LG Nexus 5X. I can't access the CPU load for any of those devices.

I've tried the following code to access the data related to the CPU utilization.

RandomAccessFile reader = new RandomAccessFile("/proc/stat", "r");

This should give me information about the CPU, and it only gives me an exception.

java.io.FileNotFoundException: /proc/stat: open failed: EACCES (Permission denied)

Is there any other way to access this information (average CPU load and the detailled load for each core)? Or do I have to root my devices and hope it solves my problem?

I noticed after the last general update on my phone that my Calendar app (previously called S Planner) has removed all my Tasks. These seem to have been replaced by 'Reminders', but these reminders don't show up at all in the calandar. And I cannot even edit them. They seem to be totally broken.
Is this a known issue?

Best,
Bas

I have an Android Media Player device running v7.1. It is a Zidoo Z9S to be specific. I have one 10TB drive hooked up via USB and I would like to add a second drive to back up the media drive on a periodic basis. I actually want a delay, so I do not want to replicate the media drive in real time like a RAID mirror.

So I am looking for an app that will backup from one drive to the other on a configurable, periodic basis. Most of the apps I've looked at so far are designed for phones and to back up the system, settings, apps. I don't want to do that, I want an external drive to external drive backup.

Can anyone recommend anything that hits the spot? I don't mind purchasing a solid, trustworthy, legitimate app. I do not want anything ad supported or anything sketchy even if it's "free".

I'm in week 2 of my Galaxy S10 5G.

Tonight, anytime I send an image via text to a single recipient, the phone is randomly creating group chats, adding 1 to 3 people from my contacts list and creating a conversation starting with the image. It also may or may not add random images to the chat conversation with the originally intended pic.

I've scanned for a virus as it started after sending a GIF comment to someone via the keyboard library. Phone is clean according to AVG.

I've rebooted. I've googled but nobody seems to be having this particular issue. Thoughts??

Hi guys,

So I have a Lenovo ideatab S6000 and it keeps asking for Country Code verification upon booting (it shows a list of countries to choose from) then says "fail" and reboots again

I tried hard reset many times didn't work

Any idea how I can solve this ?

Here is a screenshot

Now that Chrome is going to mess up ad blockers, what do you all recommend? I don't like ads. Sorry if this offends anyone!

I normally use the volume 'bar' levels on screen vs. the physical buttons. But I find no matter where I set call volume it resets to full almost instantaneously. Anyone know how to save levels? Do I have to double tap or something?

Thank you.

Hello Android Forum I was wondering if someone has had a similar issue with their pillow speaker. I want my LG G4 to send the same amount of power to the external pillow speaker as it sends to the internal speaker. When I plug in my external speaker, it is barely audible compared to the internal speaker that has good sound volume and can be heard from a distance.

I followed a video

tutorial on creating fragments making use of a ViewPager & SectionsStatePageAdapter. (By ordering comments on this YouTube video by NEW first, you can see my comments to the developer under the user 'Shaun')
Subsequently I have tried adding a menu into my main fragment.

In my fragment_main_layout.xml I have the following code (along with any buttons definitions, etc.) These all show up in the Design view of the fragment, as well as when the app is running. It is however just a plain toolbar, and I want to add items to the toolbar, like a menu icon. I can't get this menu icon to show though.

Code:

<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
    android:id="@+id/toolbar"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="@color/logoGreen"
    android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
    app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
    tools:layout_editor_absoluteX="0dp" />

I also created a menu called top_menu.xml under res\menu folder, adding into the definition the icon, title, id & showAsAction. When I view this in Design view, it shows a toolbar with the icon, as well as the name of the app.

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:myapp="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">

    <item android:id="@+id/menu_item_settings"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_menu"
        android:title="test"
        myapp:showAsAction="always" />
</menu>

In my FragmentMain.java file I have the following 2 mothods:

Code:

@Override
public View onCreateView(@NonNull LayoutInflater inflater, @Nullable ViewGroup container, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    Log.i(TAG, "msg1");
    setHasOptionsMenu(true);
    Log.i(TAG, "msg2");
    View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_main_layout, container, false);
    btnNavFragInnovations = (Button) view.findViewById(R.id.button1);
    btnNavFragTraining = (Button) view.findViewById(R.id.button2);
    btnNavFragForms = (Button) view.findViewById(R.id.button3);

    Log.i(TAG, "myMsg");
    btnNavFragInnovations.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            ((MainActivity)getActivity()).setmViewPager(1);
        }
    });

    btnNavFragTraining.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            ((MainActivity)getActivity()).setmViewPager(2);
        }
    });

    btnNavFragForms.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            ((MainActivity)getActivity()).setmViewPager(3);
        }
    });

    return view;
}

@Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater menuInflater) {
    Log.i(TAG, "OnCreateOptionsMenu");
    menuInflater.inflate(R.menu.top_menu, menu);
    super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, menuInflater);
}

However, by monitoring the LogCat, this onCreateOptionsMenu method never gets called, and the toolbar with the menu icon is never created in the fragment, just the original one created in the fragment_main_layout.xml file.

So I'm currently 17 and want to trade in my phone, I already have a phone plan/provider (AT&T)under my parents. If I go the AT&T store am I able to trade in my current phone for a new one without my parents?

AnonDroid0 · Jun 5, 2019

Edit: Fixed the issue by going to accounts.google.com on a browser and completing the security steps.

I'm using a Samsung Galaxy On5 phone.

My google accounts arent syncing properly. Under Settings > Accounts > Google, it says "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly". However, it's been at least 48 hours since this problem has started and it still isn't "back".

I cannot log in on youtube or gmail. Opening Google Docs documents don't work. Duolingo won't load. Brawl Stars too. I've tried clearing data and cache for Google Play, Gmail, Youtube and it won't let me sign in to any account.

The Play Store would say that "Authentication is required." I uninstalled updates for it to no avail.

Gmail wouldn't load new emails, I tried sending an email to myself. It stayed as "Queued". I reset the cache and data for the Gmail app. When I opened it, it prompted me to set up an email. I clicked "Add Account", and it opened a list of email providers. I clicked on "Google" and nothing happened. I clicked on "Other" instead and entered my gmail account, but clicking "Next" did nothing. I clicked on "Manual Setup" under the email field and tried to set up my email manually, but it said "Can't connect to server".

I've looked online for answers. I found nothing useful. I tried everything. My date and time are properly set. I tried setting it to a wrong date on purpose, then re-enabling automatic date settings, but nothing happened. I cleared data and cache for my google apps. Didn't fix it. I've tried restarting my device. No power saving settings are turned on. All apps have no data restrictions. I reset all my app preferences.

I've tried everything. I have no idea what else I can do other than factory resetting, which I don't want to do. Please help. Thank you so much.

Edit: Fixed the issue by going to accounts.google.com on a browser and completing the security steps.

I seem to be completely snookered now. When I try to run my fledgling app in a Pixel 3 VM I get the following in the error log:

14:08 Emulator: C:\Users\name\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\emulator\qemu\windows-x86_64\qemu-system-x86_64.exe: -drive if=none,index=2,id=userdata,file=C:\Users\name\.android\avd\Pixel_3_API_Q.avd\userdata-qemu.img.qcow2,overlap-check=none,cache=unsafe,l2-cache-size=1048576: Could not open 'C:\Users\name\.android\avd\Pixel_3_API_Q.avd\userdata-qemu.img.qcow2': The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

Then when I try another device I get a pop-up with the following message:

Installation failed with message 'cmd package install-create -r -t -S 1697135' returns error 'Unknown failure: cmd: Can't find service: package'.
It is possible that this issue is resolved by uninstalling an existing version of the apk if it is present, and then re-installing.
WARNING: Uninstalling will remove the application data!

I've rebooted my machine but I get the same problem each time.

So i had to reset my phone to factory settings. I want download pictures from google photos, but when i do that it goes to a new folder "Restore" instead of the "Download" folder. I know it's not big deal, but it bothers me. Is there a setting google photos to download pic to the "Download" folder?

Hi guys... I followed a tutorial on posting pictures in my app... So I have been tracking a problem and am not sure what is going on, Could you please tell me or show me, or even point me in the right direction...

the error points to another section but I traced it to an empty array:

so I have an Filepaths class:

Java:

public class FilePaths {

    //"storage/emulated/0"
    public String ROOT_DIR = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath();

    public String PICTURES = ROOT_DIR + "/Pictures";
    public String CAMERA = ROOT_DIR + "/DCIM/camera";

    public String FIREBASE_IMAGE_STORAGE = "photos/users/";

}

in another Class I call am getting my file directories and file paths:

Code:

/**
* Search a directory and return a list of all **directories** contained inside
* @param directory
* @return
*/
public static ArrayList<String> getDirectoryPaths(String directory){
    ArrayList<String> pathArray = new ArrayList<>();
    File file = new File(directory);
    File[] listfiles = file.listFiles();
    for(int i = 0; i < listfiles.length; i++){
        if(listfiles[i].isDirectory()){
            pathArray.add(listfiles[i].getAbsolutePath());
        }
    }
    return pathArray;
}
/**
     * Search a directory and return a list of all **files** contained inside
     * @param directory
     * @return
     */
    public static ArrayList<String> getFilePaths(String directory){
        ArrayList<String> pathArray = new ArrayList<>();
        File file = new File(directory);
 
        File[] listfiles = file.listFiles();
        Log.d(TAG, "getFilePaths: in file search");
 
        if(listfiles != null){
            for(int i = 0; i < listfiles.length; i++) {
                if (listfiles[i].isFile()) {//the error traces back here where it is telling me the listfiles are empty??
                    pathArray.add(listfiles[i].getAbsolutePath());
                } else {
                    Log.d(TAG, "getFilePaths: listfiles array is equal to null");
                }
            }
        }
        return pathArray;
    }

Could anyone please tell me why
