Hello

hi, I'm Galdhrim and I joined the forum to ask opinions/experiences about the phone I intend to buy.

I'm currently using an old and faithful Moto G (1st gen), which has the (for me) perfect size, nice battery endurance, runs the silly apps I like, and fits in my pockets. Unfortunately, despite it resulted a very durable device, the world has moved on, and it no longer has enough storage and RAM to deal with all the current stuff.

My first smartphone was a Moto E (1st gen), then I upgraded to the moto G, and.. well, I guess that's all.

Best Regards

Tasker repeat until success

Hello guys,

I have a question about Tasker. I created a task for connecting VpnRoot on boot, but there is a problem because it wont connect every time, i have to wait few minutes or it wont connect at all.

Is there any way to create a task that will repeat action (pptp connect) until success?
Here is task:

In Tasker :
- add profile, select "state" then on "state category" select "Net", on "Net Action" select "Wifi Connected" and then save.
- on "Task Selection" select "New Task", then "Misc", on "Select Misc Action" select "Send Intent" using this fileds:
Extra vpn_server:1
Extra vpn_connectn
Package com.did.vpnroot
Class com.did.vpnroot.CheckRun
Target Service


Thank you

Galaxy C5000 fingerprint problem

Hello.

My galaxy C5000 running on Android 8.0 now. 2 years i have been using it upgrading periodically from android 6. i never had issues with finger print before. The phone never rooted.
few month ago upgraded to android 8.0 was working well then another update came by samsung saying some kind of security and other update patches so i did it. i guess after that my phone started indicating popups fingerprint sensor not responding if you see it repeatedly restart the phone. free ringtone
i did several times sometimes worked sometimes not. then i did firmware installation and reset via odin which downloaded samsung official site as i know. after it worked for some days but now not responding. now sometimes fingerprint starts working by itself and the stops again. i cannot identify whether its a phsyical damage or software problem. now the questions are:
1) is it a software or a hardware problem?
2) can it be related to last security update pach (with the volume of up to 200 mb) which was after android 8.0 installation?
3) can reverse back to android 7 from android 8? samsung galaxy s23 ultra ringtone

Thank you for your patience and help.

How good are the sensors?

Hello,
I'd like to know if somebody has tried apps like compass or protractor in Moto G6. I've been using the apps from "smart tools" on my G1, and I like them a lot, but when I tried them in my mother's G5, I found the sensors don't seem to work very well (G5 doesn't have magnetometer, so no compass, and 1 of the axis of accelerometer doesn't seem to cover the whole range).

I've checked the specifications of G6 and it "should" work fine, but I thought I better ask other users about their experience before buying it.

Random voice coming from android phone!

Hello

have a huawei mate 20 pro, running on Rogers Canada. After the most recent update 3 days ago, a random male voice comes out from the phone sporadically. Says a 3 seconds phrase. Sound like a guy talking in Hindu. Says always the same phrase (which I don't understand). It could happen anytime does not matter if Im using the phone or not. I reset the phone to factory settings with all data wiped out but it still came back. Anyone know a solution or encountered the same problem?

Purchased Samsung Galaxy A6 from Virgin Mobile to Resell

I had a credit balance in my account so I used it to purchase a brand new Samsung Galaxy A6. Virgin Mobile had assured me that I could sell the locked phone to a private party. However, when I attempted to list it on sites such as Amazon, I learned that I needed to provide the phone's UPC code as part of the application process. I have repeatedly requested this from Virgin Mobile. I finally received a response which wasn't helpful. It read: "Unfortunately, we are unable to provide a UPC code." Any suggestions? The 7-day window to return the phone has passed.

Should I get the Pixel 2 XL or the Pixel 3a?

Hey all,
I currently have the Unlocked Pixel 1 XL, and I'm looking to upgrade my phone. The 2 XL and 3a (small one) are both in my budget right now. I'm a bit iffy on which one to get. Should I spring for the 3a (currently about 399$) or get the 2xl (~$320-$330 Renewed and Certified by Amazon)? Is there anything significantly better about the Pixel 3a? T-Mobile is my carrier, if that helps.

Contacts no longer show "mobile" "home" etc.

Before this most recent update for my Galaxy S8+ on Verizon, when sending a text message, the contacts would show next to the number "mobile" or "home" etc. Now if I look up a contact, we'll call him Bob Jones", I have 3 numbers listed. I know 1 is a home, 1 is a mobile, and 1 is a work. But it doesn't show me, so I have to go into contacts and determine which number is the cell before trying to send a text message...

Is there any way to get contacts to show what number it is when sending a text message? This new update is a real pain.. much less user friendly.

IMEI

So I purchased a liquid screen protector with insurance for my S10+. I have to register to be able to use the insurance if needed. One of the items they ask for is IMEI. They need to be able to identify the phone for a claim. Seems to be a bit excessive to me. They also ask for my model and carrier which I think should be sufficient. IMO. I've read some posts about IMEI with differing thoughts on whether someone can do anything nefarious with someone's IMEI. Just curious if folks have run into anything similar. Thanks.

Blue tooth audio problem

Emulator selection

Hi folks,
I am looking into testing android apps based on emulators. Currently I am using a Nexus One Google APIs Intel Atom (x86) 480x800. My question is, what other emulators should I consider in the top 5 for my testing?
For the testing I consider:
* Apps will be working in rendering, but also accessing different sensors
* I am interested to work with different screen resolutions
* How do you manage testing different Android APIs?

Say if I have 5 emulators and I want to test API 17, 21,26, 28 then I shouldn't have to go into 5 emu x 4 Android APIs = 20 images, right?

prevent pocket pushes, not just calling

So often when I take out my phone from a pocket, the camera is on, email, messaging, various other apps where I have home screen+ icons that got accidentally pushed in my pocket. Generally I'm not on wifi when the phone's in my pocket, so apps use mobile data I didn't intend, plus they have to be Quit.

I know I could just hide the icons back into the system, but then they're submerged into my collection of mostly rarely used apps.

I've looked through the Settings for something to prevent this, any suggestions? Or does anyone know of an app that would make all icon pushes require a LONG push, or maybe a double push, and only bring up a Menu including Uninstall etc with an even longer push? Or something I'm not even imagining?
