[General Questions and Answers] oconpj18:
Hey all. I have an old tablet that I'd really like to implement some kind of more user friendly method of waking/sleeping the device without having to use the power button. Something like the double tap to wake on newer devices, or a gesture, etc. The problem with this is all of the sensors seem to go offline when the device is in sleep mode. How difficult would it be to hack in a workaround? I've tried countless more basic approaches using Automate/Tasker, but I'm thinking I need something more like maybe a script at the very least. The ideal solution would be the double tap to wake just as on newer devices, which obviously requires a way to keep the touch panel awake while allowing the output screen (and ideally cpu) to sleep. That way the touch panel remains responsive ala "wake on lan" kind of thing; at least I'm assuming that's how it's done on newer devices(?)

For context- the device in question is a Toshiba Thrive AT100/105 running JellyBean. The tablet is still like brand new and does everything else I need it for so I really can't justify replacing it with a newer device just over this one nitpicky little issue. It's running JellyBean bc that is the most updated stable rom available for these devices. And I have tried every "tap to wake" app that claims to work all the way back to Android 4.x.x, but none work on this particular device.

Anyone?
[General Questions and Answers] ShellGracy:
Could you root it, then install an app to always have the screen on, then, do an script which make the screen go black (without actually turning off) and when you double tap it then it goes away. That could work if the screen is Oled or something like that, otherwise it will look a little shiny even with a black screen.
[General Questions and Answers] oconpj18:
The device is already rooted so that's not a problem. I have seen apps like that but really don't like the idea of the screen always being on but just "blacked out". I have a pretty heavy tendency towards being a "do it right or not at all" type.

What all would be involved in keeping the touch panel awake?

I have a Samsung Galaxy A20s (SM-A207M), and I've been trying to install Magisk on it, however when trying to use fastboot the device simply doesn't show up. However with my main phone A22 5G (SM-A226B), when I use adb reboot bootloader it goes in fastboot mode and its recognized by `fastboot devices`, is there any way I can find a way to use fastboot on my A20s?

(And for a bit of context, My A22 has a locked bootloader while my A20s doesn't)
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Because Samsung is not compatible with fastboot, some Samsung devices do have a "fastboot mode" but the fastboot mode that they have is not a functional fastboot mode.

You should be using Magisk to patch the boot.img from your stock firmware and then you should be using Odin to flash the patched boot.img in the AP slot in Odin.

hi guys

do you know if there is an app whom enable cellular data periodically? I mean, eg 1min of data every half-hour, in case I have mms or others internet messaging messages, without having to do it handly myself?

tank you
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
No, but, if your device is rooted, you can use something like the Tasker app to set up an automated process to automatically do this for you at the intervals that you want.

hey guys

I have a very big problem

since a week the powerbutton of my p8lite ale L21 2015, is broken

was running los 14

with the few bugs you know : overheat (even in winter), keyb frozen at passcode (sometimes), plus pictures recorder from screenlock, whom sometimes blocks on a white screen.

it happened today. Being outside, wanted to take a pic. Took my phone. Pushed on the power button hardly, then it woke up on lock screen.

Swiped directly on camera. White screen. So I pushed twice on power on, to get back to lock screen.

Okay, camera app crashes from lock screen ; it could happen, just have to enter the passcode, it might work properly after that.

I try to enter my code. When I validate by enter, all buttons seems frozen. Each button can animate when pushing on it, but absolutely no effect. During more than a hour and a half : I try to reboot it :

firstly by using the power menu : hard push on power button, yep, it works, then push on poweroff. More than an hour after, the android is still stuck on "powering off" :D

well, let's go to do a salvage one then, it happen almost every day with that bug ;)

Well, poweron button is just totally out of the ring : ten fking long seconds to wait that, like every arm phone device, it force reboots.

Here, nothing : the powerbutton seems totally dead.

How do we do then, when android tells you it's "power off..." popup since almost two hours, and your poweron button is dead?

Well, just a thing : you can connect it in usb, might require to have a computer nearby. And to have a fastboot/adb working on it.

So after a long while, I have it.

I just do a adb reboot bootloader.

It goes to huawei downloader. Dont know why.

I try to reboot it, it goes en emui system. wtf?

problem is : power button is just totally in the coma ; absolutely no effect on it.

Now, I look back at the phone :

lineageos new installation wizard. With my cell data eating gigabite without my permission.

wtf??

where are my data? everything was encrypted, means impossible to start android without my passcode.

I see now *everything* of my data looks gone. Absolutely everything, inluding important texts I received these last hours.

Had one backup from previous weeek, few days ago. But I got on the fresh installation ONE lost sms from a specific contact, SMS very important I might not save because I want to find back the whole previous data instead...

how could I do then ?

please, help me to find back my old data! :)

especially text messages !

ps:

two weeks ago I did like a backup using:

adb pull /sdcard ./

adb backup -apk -shared -all -f backup-file.adb

could I retreive all my sms with that?

I just tried now to boot on twrp:

twrp starts. It does not asks any passcode, instead of usual. Everything looks lost.

maybe a way, in command line, in twrp, to find back my beloved data partition?

I thank you vm

after samsung horror customer experience (I boycott them since a long time), now huawei is on that case. I will NEVER recommend buying them.

so Im trying to restore bacck my one month backup of P8 lite to another lineage 20 phone :

when I do :

adb restore backup-file.adb

it stucks on "com.android.providers.settings" .. any idea?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If the two phones are not the same, that part of the backup will never restore correctly because it is backed up settings and not all devices have the same settings so it creates a conflict.

If the backed up data is a backup of data from your stock setup and you are trying to restore it in a custom LOS ROM, that won't work because not all ROMs have the same system settings, again, creating a conflict.

hello, i recently flashed stock rom on my tablet and everything works fine but wifi and bluethooth do not turn on, what should I do to get them working again?

And no i did not Format All

Thx in advance
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Try first formatting the network settings, if not, try with all the settings, and lastly, if none of both work, then you may need to format data, thrrough the settings.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
I don´t think, some OEM designs its devices pretending to work well, while running custom ROM.

I´m not a great fan of Huawei devices, but actually I´m on a Y7-18, with nothing more than 2 GB of RAM, my device runs really well for what I can expect to, It´s hardly debloated and running the core minimal.

The lack of updates, generates incompatibility with newer apps that every time more target latest Android version.

Do a copy of your backup, to keep safe the original, and see, according the extension of your backup, if you can open it and read it with some app like 7zip or other.

Also, you can try out with some apps that backup messages, see, which extension they use, and check if yours is compatible for them. I never care about messages, so I can´t tell you for sure.

[General Questions and Answers] imaan.a.a:
https://wiki.xda-developers.com

i mean this link . Does anybody can sign in to xda wiki ? Dear moderators could you plz help me ?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Even if you get logged in, I would bet the links there are dead too, otherwise we would get secondary links to the links that are on that page in our Google search because the file you are looking for would have to have been uploaded to another site and then linked on that page. If we aren't getting secondary links to where that file was uploaded then linked on that page, that indicates that the links on that page would be dead also.

The XDA wiki page that you are finding is probably from the old XDA website before they changed to a different forum host setup. This means that it is probably non-existent which is probably why you can't log in to that page.

Your best hope is to contact HTC support or hope that you can find someone here at XDA that just happens to have a copy of the fille and have them upload for you somewhere so that you can download it.

Hi there!

I got a Fairphone 3 (not rooted) which reboots 4-6 seconds after unlocking with the message:

factory reset (don't know the exact message in English)

rebooting

After that, I got a black screen with these messages (paraphrased since it's not in English):

android system could not be loaded. Your data could be damaged. If you keep getting this message, perform a factory reset.

The problem is, I would like to copy / backup the photos on the phone (No Google Cloud etc set up) before doing a factory reset.

In Android, I got the developer mode and USB debugging enabled but I can't find the photos when accessing the phone via `adb`. Maybe they are under `/mnt/sdcard` but I got no permissions to read that directory.

Is there a way to get these photos on my PC? I may be able to enable something in the Android settings if that's what's missing, but it's a race against the clock.

Already tried it with scrcpy but the same thing happens.

Another idea I got was to install Nextcloud via adb und set it up somehow to sync the photos, but I'm not sure if I would have to allow external apk installation first (it's not my phone).
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
No, that thread just links back to the wiki page.

As I said, your best hope is to contact HTC support or find someone here that has a copy. It has already been well established and verified that you will not find a working link, so, don't waste your time trying to continue down that path.

Age old advice, when what you are doing isn't working, stop doing that and do something else instead of continuing to do what you know isn't working. Continuing to do a thing but expecting different results is the very definition of insanity.

So, I recently updated a Huawei Y9 Prime 2019 to EMUI 12.0.0.225 very recently.

I have tried to connect it to my laptop to check some files but it throws out an error about drivers and whatnot, I cannot remember and I have set it to automatically dismiss the error but I do remember it has something to do with drivers.

I have tried a bunch of stuff with USB debugging and whatnot, enabling it and disabling it, revoking, and allowing debugging in charge-only mode tested the MTP and PTP and it has not worked.

How do I fix this?
[General Questions and Answers] Listerine:
I've been running Lineage OS with Micro G for years on my OnePlus 5T. I just update to each version using the built-in updater. Never had any issues. I have Magisk installed, and use it for Adaway, camera module and voice recorder functions. I believe I had the TWRP recovery installed as well.

Well, recently I tried to update to the latest 12/17 release as I usually do, but now it dumps me straight to the Fastboot screen and won't boot up. I've tried the "recovery" "bootloader" and "start" options and they just leave me at the fastboot mode. I tried the "adb devices" command while attached to the computer but it didn't recognize the phone.

I'm still not sure what went wrong; I just hit the update button as per usual. The only thing I think I might have done differently was that it was recharging via the USB cable while attached to the computer while I was doing it (purely in charging mode), but I don't think that should make a difference.

Anyways is there any way to fix the issue? Or am I resigned to factory reset and try the "Ultimate Guide For [BOOTLOOP RECOVERY] Noob Friendly" link?

Considering Dropping VZW to go Pre-paid

Hi guys,

I was wondering what recommendations you might have about switching from the Big Red to a pre-paid plan.

Note: I am on a 24-month contract with two devices. Only one will be dropped (have only used 3 mos. out of 24).

My first question is: Is it worth dropping VZW for a pre-paid service with roughly a $320 ETF? I plan on getting a N5 and using Straight Talk or T-Mobile pre-paid $30/mo plan. I currently have a GS4 from Verizon and one from T-Mobile that I can sell if/when I get the N5.

Second: I live on the east coast (US). Which pre-paid service would suit my needs best? I had T-mobile before and it worked well in my area, but when I drove up to New York and New Hampshire I had little to no service. This is why I jumped back on VZW :(

Third: My wife is on my plan as well with Verizon, but she refuses to switch carriers as she has seen/heard my complaints when I had T-Mobile. Is it worth the money for me to keep a Share Everything plan just for her with Verizon? Currently we pay about $170 for two phones with 4GB of data.

Thanks in advance!

Mobicel Titan Bricked

Hi,

I would be very happy if you could help me out and appreciate it a lot. I am in South Africa, and got a Mobicel Titan from a friend, theres not much info about this phone on the Mobicel site but I did find only one link which had info that matched mine if I went into Phone Info, unfortunately I'm new here so I'll have to add the specs at the bottom because I can't link yet. Because of the bloatware on this device, i decided to root it, which i did successfully with Z4root, then installed CWM and did a backup from within Android itself. Now this is where it went wrong.... I installed the drivers for the phone on a 32bit Win Vista (Spreadtrum drivers installed perfectly only on this OS), which showed as all working perfectly, then installed ResearchDownload R2.9.7002, then loaded 6820_2.3.5_c910_hteng_s5_en_v08.pac as this was the only ROM I kept on finding and coming across, I then installed to my phone, which displayed as PASSED in green without any errors, so then I took out the battery for at least 30sec, restarted my phone, leaving it for atleast 5min, but still blank screen, only the camera flash flashed once, vibrate vibrated once, and my return and home keys lit up, but nothing else. I then opened up the phone down to the circuit board to see what the real model was and showed as H8207A, which if you try and google it, you don't find much, but I did find only 3 sites in Chinese which had a ROM with that code, I do realize just having one code isn't enough as you need the drivers for each button, touch screen and LCD, so anyway I installed it and I got quite far, but touch didn't work and screen was flipped, but everything else worked, so then i decided to Tweak the installation in ResearchDownload and insert my CWM Recovery, installation got halfway and stopped at Recovery and said Failed. I then thought, ok oh well, I will just put the chinese recovery back in and start again, but thats when I realized, phone was bricked, nothing came on at all, not even windows saw it, absolutely lifeless. I am at a loss here due to very bad support for these phones. Please help if you can.

dont flash the .pac file again..

try and find a stock or custom rom and kernel first.

try the 3 key combi, home+power+vol up..

only power + vol up if the home key isn't there..and see the device boots or not..

Use sp flashtools and connect the ph. keeping the vol down key pressed.

And windows should show a driver installation, while the device responds with the led.

no signal after flashing to 2.3.6 (I9003)

Hi, I flashed my galaxy i9003 to official ROM 2.3.6 Gingerbread ( it was 2.2 when I bought it)

It worked for a few weeks and then suddenly when I use the internet (using data nerwork not wifi) for like 2 minutes the reception gives me no signal!

If I connect my phone to my PC using tethering or even just charging it on the PC it works fine and doesnt give me no signal

Why is that? I don't think the problem is with my SIM because I tried it on a different device and it works fine

Is it because something went wrong after flashing?

Any help please?
