Hi Guys,
I'm a Lenovo A7000 user. I'm facing an issue from several days. My phone's battery is draining on its own. At first I thought that it's the problem of Battery itself so I managed to replace it but there was no change. So I replaced the Charing port instead which eventually must solve this problem but still there's no change at all. The phone would sometimes not increase the percentage while charging and sometimes would drain the battery percentage within 5 mins of usage.

What could be the cause?

They had kept the line alive and upgraded it. SMH

wondering.

Hello all.
I recently received a used at&t Galaxy S7 (variant SM-G935A) that hadn't been used in over a year, and was looking forward to using it. The previous owner, was elderly, didn't like smart phones to begin with, and doesn't remember any password. I factory reset it, and was preparing for a lifetime of joy and happiness with my new S7 Edge, When I encountered this message:

"This device was reset, To continue, sign in with a google account that was previously synced on this device"

I tried numerous sign in's all to no avail, and the previous owner doesn't even remember the password, (Probably why I was given this phone) so now I am stuck with a beautiful looking brick. After the factory reset, I assumed it would be blank and that I could sign in with my google account, but that is not working. I've seen a few "FRP" solutions, that include downloading apk's, but some of the sources look questionable.
I was thinking maybe I'd have to re-familiarize myself with the ODIN panel, or something else like that, but for now I appear stuck.

Does anyone know how to overcome this problem?
thanks!

So, I've been having issues with the music player. I use to have a huge file of .mp3 files that I listened to through the "Play Music" app with no issues whatsoever. Recently I updated this list of mp3 files and deleted the current mp3 files from my phone. I moved the file from my computer to my phone through USB and for some reason it would recognize only eight of the mp3 files. So, I tried deleting and re-downloading all the songs onto my phone but that didn't work, so I put it on Google Drive so I could download it directly from my phone. Which had the same result, exact same eight songs showed up and no other ones. I tried clearing the cache on my app, but was met with the same issue. I also tried loading the songs from the Google Play Music app but it consistently crashed was buggy and uploaded duplicates so I gave up with that. I tried two other audio players, still doesn't work. I tried reducing the number of items in the file because it has 200+ items in it, but I reduced it and tested it at 150, 100, 50, and 25. Same result. I have been scratching my head at this and really need help.

Are they really needed for the android OS??

Still quite new to android. The only things I've been downloading are from the Play Store and I can't see android letting apps from there official store give me any viruses, can they? Also been streaming things online like movies, not exactly from things like Netflix or Hulu so idk if we can get viruses from streaming from unofficial websites. But if only downloading from the play store I'm wondering if I can save my phones storage and ram by not getting an Antivirus app.

Hello.

I found that a lot of people have problems like:

usermod: failure while writing changes to /etc/group

or

passwd: u:r:init:s0 is not authorized to change the password of ubuntu

or

Authentication token manipulation error

or

groupadd: failure while writing changes to /etc/group
adduser: `/usr/sbin/groupadd -g 1001 ich' returned error code 10. Exiting.

And the problem, in my case, was one line in the "bootscript.sh":

$bbox mount -o bind /sys/fs/selinux $mnt/selinux.

You don't need that line.

$bbox mount -o bind /sys/fs $mnt/sys/fs
if [ $? -ne 0 ];then error_exit "Unable to mount $mnt/sys/fs!"; fi

is enough.

There is nothing in the /selinux- or /sys/fs/selinux-directory (on the Linux-side), but now it works. More or less. There are still other problems to fix, e.g. "sudo [user] [command]". There is still this problem:

sudo: PERM_ROOT: setresuid(0, -1, -1): Permission denied

But that was the solution for the permission (SELinux???) problems named above.

It'd be pretty neat if the play store told us what apps we've already downloaded (specifically games) when searching for new games to play.

Had a lot of free time on my hands as of late so I've been scouring the play store trying different games but I've been mistakenly downloading games I've already previously had. Nowhere on the apps page does it say I've downloaded this app already. Some indication next to the install button would be nice.

Hi. I'm having wifi connection issues only on my home wifi network only. When I am at home, my phone will frequently appear to be connected to the wifi yet will be unable to load anything (despite staying around 2 connectivity bars). Quickly toggling wifi on and off temporarily fixes the issue. This only ever happens on my home wifi, and for some reason distance from the router plays a big role. If I'm sitting right next to router the issue does not exist, but even moving to the next room over (still full bars) will cause the issue the resurface. Interestingly rebooting the phone in safe mode also completely fixes the issue. I noticed normally my phone jumps between 2.4ghz and 5ghz bands frequently when booted normally, but in safe mode in remains constantly at 2.4ghz. Perhaps this has something to do with it? I've considered factory reset but its not clear that would fix the problem. Problem is new in past year, previously device worked perfectly. Please help.

I'm looking for a call blocker that will really work. I've had several over the last couple of years and not been satisfied.

I have a Samsung Galaxy 6. If I block a number in the native phone app, it still rings and rings when that party calls. After 5 rings the call will terminate, but the five rings are annoying. And if I don't recognize the number I am liable to answer the call. So what good is the blocker?!

I have a third party app called Call Blocker that essentially does the same thing but it will sometimes identify the caller. That's a plus but not a big one.

I used to have an app called Whoscall, which, IIRC, blocked the call immediately but it was so full of ads I couldn't stand it...in fact my Verizon rep compared it to a virus.

Is there a third party app that will keep a blocked number from ringing through and perhaps prevent that blocked party from leaving a voicemail as well? Not dead set on that last bit but there's got to something out there that will handle this problem competently...better than what I've tried so far.

Thoughts?

Advice appreciated..

Can anyone help me figuring out what the T in the box means.
Thank you

Can someone please tell me how to switch to a different Google Drive account on my phone? A similar question was asked about five years ago here, but the answer posted there doesn't work for me.

To elaborate, I have two accounts registered on my Android phone. Let's call them A and B. When I open Google Drive, I see the Google Drive files associated with Account A, but not those associated with Account B. I can't figure out how to switch over to Account B.

Have an HTC 10 that recently had some issues and I had to use an iPhone 5 as a temporary phone. I fixed my HTC and once I put my sim card back in, it would not connect to any 4G or LTE networks. I would have cellular signal and could make phone calls and send texts, but anything that used data would not work. I checked all settings on the device to be sure there was no setting turned off. Once I had checked all settings, I borrowed a family members sim card from their phone and was able to connect to 4G and LTE networks with no problems. Once I was able to get the phone connected, I removed their sim card and replaced it with the original, and it would not connect anymore so I went to an AT&T store to get a new sim card. They replaced the sim card, but the problem still exists and the phone refuses to connect to 4G or LTE but will connect to the cellular network.

I recently got a free American Assistance lifeline phone. The bran is True Slim and A.A. is the service provider. I need help permanently removing app(s) that come with the phone. I'm not sure which app(s) I should get rid of. Except one; DAbrowser. Whenever I uninstall anything it re-installs itself. Please help me, I need to get rid of at least DAbrowser. That thing is clearly adware. And extra annoying adware at that. These aren't in browser ads either. They're ads that pop up no matter what apps are or aren't open. They make it super annoying to use the phone for anything. The setting; 'Allow installation of apps from unknown sources' keeps turning on by itself in front of my eyes. And the play store opens it's self on a page for an app it wants me to install. Even the lock screen tries to shill to me. And that open at weird times. I have tried a lot to fix this.
BTW the questionable apps I have on my phone are:
DAbrowser
Android Innovation
com.android.extension.hybrid.app
Proxy
DeviceOptimize
Android System WebView
Atci_service
Auto Dialer
Basic Daydreams
Bluetooth Share
BSPTelephonyDevTool

Which of these apps should I get rid of? Which one do I need? How should I get rid of them, and keep them gone?
Are there any other subs I should ask? I really need help with this.
Thanks for any feedback.

Hi everybody,

When I got my G7 about couple weeks ago phone gave me notifications about updating a bunch of apps. One of them was Lens (I assume it is Google camera app). I also got two more updates for this app during first two weeks.

When I try to start Lens I get this message:

Thanks for updating. Lens will be available soon.

Please try again later

Click to expand...

Anybody else has this app on their G7 and gets this message?

I have a galaxy SM G950F running Android 9 and on the Three Mobile UK network.

At the bottom of the Home Screen is the message "If found please call 07xxx xxxxxx"

I have made a big mistake. I entered the phone number of the SIM actually in the phone so I am asking it to call itself.

How do I change this phone number?

My wife and I both have Samsung Galaxy S8 phones. Both are SM-G950F models, both are connected to Three Mobile UK network, both are describe as in the official state, both are set to automatically receive updates and both are said to be fully up to date.

Why is one phone on Android 9 while the other is on Android 8?

How can I force the Android 8 phone onto Android 9?

Hi,

does anyone have experience wih using the new multi-camera API in terms of taking pictures with multiple forward facing cameras at once?

According to the documentation this should be possible, but I guess it is up to the manufacturer to provide this functionality.

For my project I need to take he images from same facing cameras at exactly the same time (hardware synchronized).

Has anyone achieved this?

Any help would be appreciated!

Contact Favorites disappear every night. Favorites update with new Contacts during the day as I use my phone but in the morning they have disappeared. This has been going on for several weeks and never used to happen. I've had this phone for a couple of years I've changed nothing in my Contact software that I can think of.

Moto X Pure Edition running Android 7.0

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jeff
