EFS

Seem a mistake...u may try to restore efs by an EFS backup or, in case, give device to Samsung assistance:eek:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
OP your problem is what ???

Wrong IMEI then restore your backed up EFS folder fail to backup then read the multiple IMEI/EFS posts or take to a service centre ..

IMEI correct then either you have failed to enter your network settings APN you have the wrong modem .

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayshun168:
I am sure I have properly installed usb driver for my nexus 7, since I have unlocked and rooted my device.

When I reboot my device to bootloader, my PC detected a new device connected, but fail to recognize it.

Also, I can't do anything when I am in fastboot mode, e.g. no effect for pressing power, vol + or vol - button.

Now, I want to return to 4.1.2 stock image, but I cannot do that on fastboot mode.

Any solution/ work arround to save my device??
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] styckx:
Looks like drivers got screwy.. Install PDANet and let it install the drivers for your device..

http://junefabrics.com/android/download.php

One your drivers are up to snuff and you can access your device when in the bootloader again you can remove PDANet and the usb drivers will stay in place.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayshun168:
I re-installed driver by PDANet, still I can connect Nexus 7 on normal state, but not in bootloader/ fastboot mode.

I am guessing the fastboot is dead and not related to usb driver issue.

Since there is no any response when I am pressing the button. The fastboot mode is hanged.

can a custom rom change the sar rate of a phone? or is it hardware specific,.. I want to know that, if i installed cyanogenmod, does it affect the sar rate of my phone?

In my opinion I don't think it should happen as it is related to your hardware and not your software.

[Samsung Captivate Glide] bs27975:
DROWNING in Google and forum search results here. Good search terms, links, 'app' names, welcome.

(Drowning because I catch hits where the android remote controls another device, such as a TV, or a PC - instead of the other way around.)

It's becoming increasingly difficult to remotely help friends that use Android - mostly because I can neither see nor control their screens.

What's the best way / apps to go about setting this up?

NOTES

:

this is NOT android acting as a remote control.

this is NOT android remote controling a PC

this IS remote controlling the ANDROID.

I have remote access to their network, be it via ssh or vnc. (From a 'privacy' perspective, it's only sense to get to their network, then get to their Android - i.e. Access to their stuff is under their control.)

wi-fi is up and happy. As is USB, for that matter.

the remote phone is NOT rooted.

I've come across, but have no opinion on (your opinions welcome):

Remote Control Add-On - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.xdevelop.rc&hl=en

Remote Web Desktop - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.xdevelop.rm&feature=more_from_developer

AirDroid - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sand.airdroid

TeamViewer QuickSupport - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teamviewer.quicksupport.market.samsung / Needs pc side from www.teamviewer.com. (Note: Android might not be a Samsung. I thought I saw a non-Samsung remote control on their site, but now don't see it.)

Droid VNC server - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.onaips.vnc

VMLite VNC Server - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vmlite.vncserver&hl=en (Has a process for non-root access. Better than nothing, I suppose.)

Webkey - https://play.google.com/store/apps/..._result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS53ZWJrZXkiXQ..

Thoughs / suggestions / terms / recommendations / experiences / etc.???

Thanks.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] taiber2000:
AirDroid suppose to be a good one, but didn't use it my self yet.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bs27975:
Remote Web Desktop looks like it has some interesting functionality, is pretty enough without being over the top (speaking as a guy who finds ssh, in colour, of course, adequately pretty), but is sufficiently broken to be not worth pursuing. Terminal isn't really there (e.g. su results in prompts of $ on one line, then # on next), web cam capture captures a still only, screen capture bears no resemblance / colour fix doesn't, ... uninstalled.

Companion or standalone Remote Control Add-On is through browser only, and at port 3389 of all things. [No RDP doesn't work, either.] Chrome / Opera / Firefox none works - says to install java, takes you to Oracle but not to what it wants. Not quite latest / greatest 6 installed beforehand and it still wants java installed. Not going back to 7, uninstalled that some while ago - will wait until it becomes real. App promises standard vnc connectivity at 5901 (why not 5900 I've no idea), but doesn't work. Netstat shows it isn't even listening.

Uninstalled ... next!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bs27975:
Webkey wouldn't stay up long enough for more than a few clicks in browser.

Service kept dying. Restart succeeded most of the time, but not always. Task manager exit and it came back up in those instances.

Uninstalled.

*Note to Selves: AdAway (can) run an internal web server (to catch / redirect web calls), and (by necessity) runs on standard ports, both www and https. So ... if you run another web catching app, it can't use those ports. [Not a problem for them to do so to date, but just so's you don't blame the app under test for not working when it's trying to listen on a port already taken by AdAway.]

- and you want to run the AdAway web server - better it give an immediate unreachable response than having to wait for the call(s) to time out.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bs27975:
Airdroid seems nice / capable enough, if a little 'fluffly.'

Separate ssh / samba / vnc apps seem a little simpler and cleaner - if more to configure.

Samba - 'Samba Filesharing' (edit smb.conf if you want root (as in /), although smb.conf now says modifications not supported.)

[If you modify / something breaks, go back to stock and see if it still breaks. Duh!]

VMLite VNC Server - not tried.

Pixel VNC Server Beta - sure is. Won't stay up. Connect attempt results in service failure [Error(3)] before first screen draw. (I see drawing initial screen message, then it drops.) Uninstalled. Looks to have the nicest / cleanest interface though. Just the facts / text, nothing goofy / fancy.

VNC server (wencent) and droid VNC server must use same code base - options/screens seem identical.

- both are slow (but better than nothing), both seem to take a number of restarts before picking up password / port changes, although the port it says it's at matches the port entered. e.g. it defaults to 5901, I changed to 5900, started, and it displayed 5900 but was actually listening on 5901. Note: Don't use special characters in password, such as '&' - plain text password storage in .xml file gets written wrong. Probably the cause of the startup / port / password misfires. YEP, I SAID *PLAIN* TEXT PASSWORD STORAGE. <sigh>

VNC server (wencent) blog page annoying, droid VNC 'nicer'. I noted to both to please put restart button on same page as on/off. No auto-rotate, so if you have to rotate (in settings), and since a restart is necessary to effect, a restart button would be useful.

droid VNC settings hint at (but broken / no worky / not what it is) at a reverse VNC connection. Which would be FANTASTIC! Your idiot friend out and about you can't get to, but he could call you at your known IP / forwarded listening port.

HTH.

Android control PC?

I have read the article http://flash-video-player.blogspot.com/2013/02/how-to-use-android-phone-to-remote.html and I just wonder if the apps here can support PC controlling Android phone.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] mcai7jl2:
I was looking for the same thing.. I have the Samsung Captivate and S3.

I tried the RemoteCall from Rsupport which I heard of them from Mobizen (same company). No rooting and standard ports (can't see it happening on a 8888..). It can control and gives you all the info.

One thing is that they charge 1600 for a year.. waaay too expensive for me.. they said discount is available for more than 1 license, but I guess that will apply to businesses.. not for individuals.. I will say Mobizen is so far the solution for me.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] klisanor:
Installed VMLite VNC Server. Works great on my not-rooted phone. I had to install libncurses5:i386 on my amd64 ubuntu to work with adb. It would be better if I could change the resolution of the phone's image. Should be cheaper.

team viewer versus airdroid

Hello everyone. Sorry mi english is not very good

I am doing proyect that I have to install a device ( samsung s4 ) 5km away from home and run an app on it to trigger a foto camera.

Team viewer do that but you have to be in the device to accept the conexion remote, so is no suitable for me at this point. Airdroid dont ask for permision to conect to the device , which is excelent , but I can not run an app inside the device in remote, so is no ok for me at this point.

The question is : how can I open an app to control the camera from the device in remote whith out me beside to the device?? Is there an app to do that??

How can I avoid in team viewer to ask permision to acces to the device??

Is posible to do something about it ??

I am not talking about the camera in the device , I am talking about a camera which is conected to my device by a cable at the same time and trigger and control the camera setings from km´s away via Lan conection 3g.

Thank you all

Marcos

connect to teamviewer quicksupport without someone to accept you

if you have the same problem like me with the droid vnc server (connect but can't control it) the droid vnc server will help to conect to teamviewer quicksupport without someone to accept you. the video i make will show you how.

i cant add link so you have to find it by searching in youtube: connect to teamviewer quicksupport using droid vnc server to get access

I have tested 'Droid VNC server' and it requires root. I couldn't use it without that.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] xdej:
I have a FREE complicated solution without root.

Screen output:

while sleep .01 ; do convert -depth 8 -size 1280x1280 rgba:/dev/graphics/fb0'[0]' -rotate 90 -crop 1280x720+0+0 bmp:/scard/b.bmp ; mv /scard/b.bmp /sdcard/c.bmp ; echo -n . ; done

It works for my padfone 2, without padfone station. On any linux, you can sshfs your phone, and access /sdcard/c.bmp that way.

It should be run as the user adb, use adb shell from a PC connected by USB to access it, then adb forward to access to the sshd running on the phone.

If you want this to continue after disconnection, you should run tmux first.

I uploaded working binaries for bash, convert, scp and sshd on gentooandroid.sf.net ; tested on Android 4.1 and Android 4.4.

The difficult part on secured Android 4.4 is to find a place not mounted noexec where to put the binaries.

[Samsung Captivate Glide] andiroid99:
thx so much for that thread, i spend hours googling this. :)

i am actually trying webkey.

what i want to do primarily is control volume on android, as my device acts as a webradio (connected to the stereo via headphone jack).

I use droid vnc to start up "tunein radio" . that works fine. BUT it is way to slow to adjust volume, PLUS there are no keys to adjust volume, so i have to go to a quicksetting - volume - and adjust via mous. btw it only takes keyboard inputs if they are followed by a left-mouse-click... alt-d and alt-u dont work.

i also tried a ssh server on android and control volume via

"input keyevent 24"

and

"input keyevent 25"

which workes for a while, but then has no effect any more

vnc connection is crap, as my phone is an old samsung s2 - to slow.

acutally i am looking for the uri to send to the webkey server to adjust volume, so i wouldnt have to go over the website any more. - seems its websocket calls, so i will have to make some python implementation, as i dont know jscript.

-- btw, you can send volume event over ssh like this, but i dont know why it takes seconds for the device to react:

on the console:

input keyevent 24

input keyevent 25
[Samsung Captivate Glide] xdej:
Use automate to change volume

Automate from Google play can change the volume according to a change of file in a clould (or any other method you like).

Minimal asking of permission, this is a good thing.

Beware, Automate is free only for up to 30 "lines" of program, but just changing the volume is like 10 "lines" of program only.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] RotaryXperiment7:
Just curious what big dealnis with call recording anyway? No disrepect to anyone just curious-
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
There's lots of good reasons to have call recording. It can be handy for things like calls to customer service/support, and it can be absolutely life-saving when it comes to some legal matters, bad relationships, etc.

Its better have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it. ;)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] RotaryXperiment7:
Thats tru. Guess I never saw it that way.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Lieu10ant:
i use it for whenever someone tells me to write something down, or gives me some notes, or some numbers to keep, and i say "sure i have a pen, go ahead"... and just sit there listening to them speak instead of writing anything down.

and yes, has a lot of good uses for when someone says something on the phone, and then they lie, or do something else, or say "lol i never said that". and i can simply show them the convo if it ever came down to it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Lieu10ant:
hmm.. is there a specific way we have to set up the app? it's not wanting to work on my phone. every recording is 0 seconds long.
[HTC One X] seventieslord:
First day with the one x, first thing I did was install swype, the correct way using the official swype installer. I enabled swype, and everything was fine. Then about an hour later without even rebooting or anything, swype was usurped by the sense keyboard. Since then I have been unable to make swype the default keyboard despite the fact that it is turned on. The sense keyboard continues to load instead.
[HTC One X] thegh0sts:
same: i have the swype beta installed and it doesn't pop up when i go to type something. i also have swiftkey 3 installed...not sure if that's hindering it or something.
[HTC One X] tomascus:
when your keyboard is activated, you should be able to select input method in notification list
[HTC One X] nookcoloruser:
Yes, just pop down notification centre and select your keyboard.

It's working great on my one X, I love the themes and they keyboard feels far better than swiftkey.
[HTC One X] seventieslord:
that seems to work, but i think only temporarily. i will get back to you in a few days. Thanks.

I tried copying a Rom to my SD and got a popup saying that there wasn't enough space(although in visable space my SD was almost empty). Out of curiousity I decided to show hidden files, and deleted the .Trash-1000 folder, which for some odd reason was taking up 18 GB on my SD. This ever happen to anyone else?
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
Various trash folders can appear, the android system should keep them under control though.

If not, delete it yourself.
[HTC Rezound] dyetheskin:
never seen this directory. what file app did you use to see it?
[HTC Rezound] wlmeng11:
In my experience, deleting files on Android doesn't move them to Trash.

I've seen .Trash1000 on my Linux Desktop, so it's probably because of deleting files from your computer while your SD card is mounted as USB storage.

Sent from my HTC Rezound
[HTC Rezound] Obaterista93:
That's where I saw it. I was trying to copy a Rom to my sd, but got an out of space error although I only had ~10 gb visible crap on my sd. Ctrl-H to show hidden and I saw trash, which had like... 18 gb in it. I've noticed that if my sd is mounted and I go to move something to trash from my desktop, it won't go to my desktop trash, but to trash on the sd.
[HTC Rezound] wlmeng11:
If it went to your desktop trash then it would have to copy all the files to your computer, and waste space on your computer's disk.

IMO "Trash Cans" are pretty pointless. If you're not 100% sure that you want to delete a file, just don't delete it.
