ok, I understood.

I think that if you want to build an app like a "monitor" you have to monitor the "Intent" that the apps use in the Android ecosystem to call both external API (third party application) or internal (e.g., start a new Activity). For example, we have a device with an app (named Pippo) that sends data over the bluetooth connection.

Basically, Pippo calls isEnabled() to check whether Bluetooth is currently enable:

Intent enableBtIntent = new Intent(BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_REQUEST_ENABLE);
startActivityForResult(enableBtIntent, REQUEST_ENABLE_BT);

the Monitor app should register an intent-filter on the "ACTION_REQUEST_ENABLE" action, so when the Pippo sends the intent, the Monitor receives the Intent and then forwards the Intent to the right app (like a man-in-the-middle).

what do you think?

p.s. take a look at this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.ashtonbrsc.android.intentintercept

Best,

Simone
[Security Discussion] Lierus:
Yes this is a good starting point..

I will investigate this opportunity :)

i hope that i can discriminate and understand who invokes the intent (not just when it is invoked).

Thanks again.

Is it works?
[Security Discussion] simone.mutti:
yes :)

try it yourself,

the implementation of this app, is based on the idea explained above.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
Hey guys, im a regular over on the htc forums but not very used to samsungs and was wondering if i could get some clarification :)

Got this tablet from a friend to repair if i could. the tablet was in possession of my friends mother who is 60+ and careful with her tech. never drops it, always charges it on time. then device was never flashed or rooted in any way. It was handed to me already in apx mode and the back story was simply it wouldnt turn on any more. i asked if it was powered off while updating, or fully discharged or anything but was told no. it was just placed onto the charge when she went to bed and was non functional in the morning. as stated the device is in apx mode, i looked into it and the bootloader is locked so NVFlash is non functional. i have been trying the battery drain method but ive had the power button taped down for 3-4 days now with an otg cable plugged in and other stuff like pen drives etc connected to it to try drain the power to no avail. i got impatient and i tried the disconnect and reconnect the battery method (as the op stated that the battery drain and the battery pull method should have the same effect), but to no avail.

Im beginning to think that its seen its last days as the battery pull method has consistently failed, and i cannot seem to find a j-tag method anywhere.

so, am i correct in thinking that its just spare parts now? device has been OOW for quite a while now and given that the battery was fully charged prior to me obtaining it, it could take weeks to discharge.

If anyone with experience on this issue could chip in that would be great! cheers!

Simular issue, any fix yet

My P7510 is acting like it is bricked. It will not start. I tried the power button and volume combination and nothing works. I connect to my Windows 8 PC only see it in Device manager as "Other Device" as a APX without the drivers loaded. I have charged the device for hours on two different chargers.

It had 50% charge when my nephew was playing Angry Bird and he returned it in what I thought was just sleep mode. I tried turning it on 4 hours after I got it back and it would not come on. I figured the battery was dead so I charged it but to no avail.

It is not rooted and has the stock 4.0.4 Android version.

I cannot ask my nephew what he did because he is autistic and would be scared to deaf it he though he broke my tablet.

Any help is appreciated.

thanks but ive tried that already :( no joy.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benzoman:
I think the reason nobody has replied because it looks like you did your homework and tried everything that would have been suggested. Unfortunately the battery disconnect is the last resort if it's not hardware. If it was software issues the battery disconnect should have worked AFAIK.

I had to send mine (GT-P7510) in for repair when it went into apx mode. Fortunately for me it was under warranty.

Just a thought, but have you left the battery disconnected for a day or more? Wondering if the tab is holding a charge some way with the battery not connected. Maybe connect something with the battery disconnected to drain all possible remaining charge from the tab. For a day or more even. I've seen stranger things happen even a few who where they said it just started working out of the blue. Not likely to help but might be worth a try.

EDIT-Just had another thought I remember one tab I fixed that was stuck in apx mode and removing the battery didn't help. I diconnected the battery and plugged into the charger held the power button and it booted. I let it do a full start before connecting the battery.

Can't remember for sure, but I may have held power+volume down. Could be worth a shot.

WMP10 PLAYLISTS / SYNCING / BOOKMARKS AAARRGGHHHHHH!!!!!

:evil: Sorry people but I'm F*%@!ng! fuming over this. The reason I like Winamp is becuase you hear something you like and all you do is "Add to Bookmarks", couldn't be simpler, and easy to copy and backup and replace, I wonder if Pocket Music is this simple? probably.

BUT WMP10 what a frikin knightmare!. I've tried the Windows Media Player 10 Mobile help sights, tried some of the SYNCING things, it did sync 29 things??? but still hasnt transfered My Playlists looking in the WMP Library on the XDA. SO in frustration I copy "My Playlists" from My Docs on my main PC to my PocketPC's Docs AND Storage Card to a folder called My Playlists, I Open WMP10 on the XDA, then using File Explorer in XDA to find the My Playlists then try to open them that way, oh no of course it isn't going to frikin work is it!! Playlists for WMP aren't associated with WMP10 eh!??? WTF!!! Why can't they make it simpler!!!??? AND I cant "FIND or SEARCH" the "My Playlist Folder" associated with WMP10 in my XDA, for the life of me someone please help me out.. :roll: sorry for the rant but I cant be the only one having this problem.
[General Topics] calvinandhobbes:
Welcome to M$ !!!

They way I use it:

- Check that all your music is in the WM10 library on your PC.

- You need to have all the playlists you want to sync in WM10 on your PC.

- WM10 (again the PC side) has a "sync" tab, which you need to use for synching to get your playlists to your PocketPC. Check the playlists you want to sync in the sync settings, hit "sync"

- You're done!

If you are using another music player and DON'T want to use WM10, you're out of luck....

Please excuse my noobness.

ok I just went to the Library and found My Playlists with the Radio Stations I like, clicked on Sync, found the folder on My pocketpc to send to, picked one and ticked it on the PC side, highlighted it, hit the green Start Sync button.. ERROR the player may not support the file... tryed a few more , same thing.. :( please excuse my noobness, I like to stream radio stations off the net, How do I "Add Bookmark" as it were into my own folder say My Playlists? I was able in version 9 but not 10 it seems. i'll keep trying, and thanks I'm getting closer.
[General Topics] choppidge:
Went into Sync settings

Went into Sync settings, ticked all the radio playlists, found My Playlists in My Documents on pocketpc & storagecard..

ERROR the player may not support the file...

tried a few more , same thing.. I made sure the player wasnt playing at the time, I have had no problem with active sync so far its the latest version, firewall is ok in program controls, and it's a very recent ROM, I have been able to stream 32kbps streams using a neighbors wifi connection but can't even manualy drag drop some playlists.
[General Topics] inbox7:
I feel your pain. I gave up on the sync thing with Windows Media player. It never worked right.

Been using Yahoo's music service and it works as advertised. Click sync and your done...no playlists though & it costs money. Still, good audio quality and its easy.

Thanks inbox7

Thanks inbox7, I am using www.radiofeeds.co.uk for UK radio listening links.

Also one work around (can't believe I just said that Microshaft!) I am saving the .asx links as Favourites. works anyway.

Slightly off topic, has anyone reading this managed to stream an MP3 stream using there XDA and a WIFI connection?, What is the maximum bitrate you achieved? I'll start a thread on this unless you can point me to one.

cheers all choppidge.

[Sony Tablet S] Stumcd:
I have had my Sony Tablet S for over a year now and am very pleased with it. I decided to take it to school one day and show it too my friends as well as use it in class. But there was a problem, I couldnt connect to the WiFi, whilst my friends iPad could.. After doing some digging around I discovered that the schools wifi is 5ghz whilst the Sony tablet s does not support frequencys that high. Is there a special adapter I can buy to access the 5ghz networks or a trick/hack or will I have to invest in another tablet?

Regards, Stuart
[Sony Tablet S] Cat McGowan:
The Sony Tablet S cannot connect to 5.0 GHz WiFi and there is no trick or hack that will make it connect to 5.0 GHz. It would be unusual for the school's WiFi to have only 5.0 GHz and not have 2.4 GHz available because most devices can only connect to 2.4 GHz. The school's WiFi would have different names for its 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz networks. Check the list of networks your STS detects to see if there is another network detected with the same or greater signal strength than the 5.0 GHz network and that network will likely be the school's 2.4 GHz network.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brutehacker:
I was running the latest cyanogen nightly operating system and TRWP recovery and then wished to replace the TRWP recovery with CWM again.

Upon trying to flash 6.xx CWM recovery, I saw a failed to mount bootdata directory error but there was nothing else I could do as repeating the flash process just threw up the same error.

Upon reboot I see the NOOK name and then the screen flashes and reboots, I think my EMMC is screwed although I've checked it and it said it was fine before this issue occured.

I've tried restoring it with CWM image, the repart image and the no eemc ul boot file and different bootfiles on my SD card but all has been a no go. If I could get fastboot access I could repartiton the device but I don't have the OMAP drivers.

So if anyone has any solutions or idea's that would be a great help, thanks.:)
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brutehacker:
Also when trying to charge via the wall it wont charge, it keeps flicking between the on green led state and the charging orange led state.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brutehacker:
I took the tablet apart and removed the battery and drained the tablet and then reattached the battery.

You only see the NOOK logo for a second and then it goes off with or without a CMM sd card inserted.

When trying to charge it just loops like before and goes from the green ON state to the orange Charging state.

It could be the battery or PCB, I'm thinking the PCB or both, this is brand new as well.

Too bad I've lost the receipt before I stripped it down to remove the battery to dissipate the tablet of any charge.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
You don't need the receipt if you registered the stock software with B&N. Just take the bad device to a store and they will look up your serial number on their computer and if it is dead they will replace it. But be sure all traces of mods are removed.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brutehacker:
After letting the tablet sit for some hours the boot loop continues with no charger attached and there is no B&N store in the UK and it would cost too much to send it off.

Just wondering how yourbattery life is with a custom clock... mine seems to die quicker.

Anyone else experiencing this?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Mr Ian B:
I get over a day's battery life.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] big_pongo:
You'd better check the followings :

- Display / Brightness

- Vibration

- Ringtone

- Apps to be notified or running ...

etc. ...

These are also the factors to your battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jschu22:
Dont listen to the previous comments. My battery life definitely sucked with custom faces installed. They weren't even necessarily being used and it drained faster. Removed the app altogether and things are back to normal.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Hardcore73:
That's because it takes more juice to light up the screen with a bigger image instead of their default watch interfaces.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] cerebralzulu:
Sounds like more than that if the battery drains more even when you aren't using one of the screens.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ArborRes:
Hmm...my battery performance hasn't changed at all even as I use the custom clock, still quite good. You guys may want to check other possible causes.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Visual360:
I can't say that it is draining my battery faster per se, but one thing I've noticed is that any custom clock I have made wont show up it ifs not paired/connected to my phone. I guess that would make me assume that it constantly sucking up juice.

Testing today at work will repoty back later I'm starting out with 80% battery and will see how it is when I get home...
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] richlum:
I can turn bluetooth off on my phone so that the Gear disconnects and the custom watch face still displays on the Gear.

You can't change to a different one obviously, but if one was already active, it still works fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jmorton10:
Yup, I agree.

I just discovered the custom face app last night and decided to try it out.

I made a very basic analog clock with date, battery icon & Bluetooth icon.

I enabled it this morning after the watch had charged all night. My battery was down to 15% by 1:30 this afternoon.

I usually get a full day easily with battery to spare.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] polstein:
Speculation, or did you find something official from Samsung (with a note about them working on it hopefully...)?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] rayhodge02:
Well just got home from work....and here's a update for the battery status. I'm currently at 50% I started at 80% so I say the battery is good IMHO
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Ragin Cajun:
Unplugged my gear at 7am today and as right now with moderate usage I'm at 18%. I can live with that for now.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] richlum:
I unplugged at 8am and just after midday, it is at 90%.

That is with 4 or 5 email notifications, a couple of sms notifications, installing Atooma and testing it out and checking the time a few times.

I'd say battery drain is about the same for me.

What design are you guys with battery problems using? If it has a lot of white or light colours it will drain the battery quicker.

Most of the stock faces have black backgrounds.

My custom face has a mainly black background.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jjknight@gmail.com:
Yes I am experiencing the same thing, is there anything to fix this?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] djrobinn:
Finally Watch Styler was released to the Samsung app store for Gear 2 NEO watches... I love the ability to switch from the standard watch faces to suddenly wearing an Omega, Police, Hublot, Cartier but I did notice a significant degradation of battery life. If I set one of these faces as my primary, I can't last a full day with it. Usual routine is unplugging the watch from the charger around 6. Powering it on around 6:30 AM, by around 3:30 PM, I've already received low battery warnings. I come home to give it a quick charge but then I'm not wearing it so it kinda beats the purpose.

I've switched to the built-in faces for now. Will be using the custom faces sparingly as needed... Fix this Tizen!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Skin1980:
Watchstyler faces sucks... I agree. Btw i installed from playstore an app called clocky. The app install some custom watchfaces ( in wgt format) that can be applyed trough gear manager. Very very battery friendly, yesterday after about 5 hour i had still 100% battery.:D
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] dirtymindedx:
On Tizen watch styler drains the battery quickly and if it disconnects from bluetooth the watch styler stops the watch. On android my watch face continues to tick on even when it is disconnected from bluetooth and times out the battery lasts longer on android using watch styler and drains faster on tizen.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lolomin:

Could you please provide a link to this application (PlayStore or other) please ? Can't find it on Play Store :(

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Kashban:
Yepp. When using WatchStyler on my CM11 S2 with null ROM on the Gear, battery definately goes down quicker. It looks like the watch is updated even when the screen is off, which burns through the battery quite quickly.

And if the Watch isn't connected to my phone, the Watchface is gone until reconnect. That's why I can't use WatchStyler.

Better find some cool clock widgets on the play store to enhance your watch.

Just a heads up...my favorite news app, Zite, is available for the gear now. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem that useful. It displays the title and a picture of a few of your top stories but you can not read any of the content. A 'read it on your device' button will bring up the story on your phone. It is very nice to look at, at least.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Jeshter2000:
So what you want exactly?? Read the whole story on your watch??? Really??

I think you all got the wrong idea what this watch is.. It is a companion accesory. So the Zite app does exactly what it needs to do. Keeping you from getting your phone out of your pocket for everything. Maybe without the watch you will grab your phone 10 times but 4 times there is nothing to read. But you scrolled and you screen lit up. So those 4 times you can leave your phone in your pocket cause you can see the headlines on your watch and pich precisley what you want to see.

M
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mhoepfin:
Can you help me understand exactly what the Zite app does then? So far, as I can tell, it brings up one story when you launch it and that is it. You touch the screen and it takes you to the app. Are there other functions?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Jeshter2000:
It shows you the headlines... You can swipe from right to the left to see the headlines if you see a good one press it. And it will open in the Zite app on your phone. Less bigscreen lit up so better battery on phone.... Less anyoing phone zombies lol..
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mhoepfin:
Ah the swipe was not working before.. More useful now that I can see multiple articles. I would actually read some of these on the watch if it was supported.
