Pull Apk in Non-Rooted Device.

There is no need of a rooted device,

you can pull the apk by using following techniques.

//_______________________________________________________

A) Using ADB

1) Determine the package name of the app, e.g. "com.whatsapp" (WhatsApp).

if you don't know the package name, you have 2 options to get the package name

i) Visit play store and search for the desired application, The link of the app contains the package name. "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.whatsapp" (WhatsApp) where com.whatsapp is the package name

ii) use command "adb shell pm list packages" , this will list the package name of all application installed.

2) Once you know the package name, get the apk installed path by using command "adb shell pm path com.whatsapp"

it will return the apk path of the application, like this

package:/data/app/com.whatsapp-2/base.apk

3) Now to pull apk, by using command "adb pull /data/app/com.whatsapp-2/base.apk"

Apk will be extracted to the same folder where adb is present

//_______________________________________________________

B) Using ESFileExplorer

1) Open ESFileExplorer and navigate to User Apps either by (swiping left to right twice) or (goto APP under Library in Navigation Drawer)

2) Select App you want to pull, and click on Share.

3) Share the Apk to another device via Bluetooth or to desktop via AirDroid,
[Android General] Lord_of_Death:
ur right however, not all system apps are present using the second way, and first way is complicated for some people and might confuse them. if someone would want to change something he saw on google, that is connected to system apps or other stuff"like systemui" i think rooting and copying the apk from its directory is best. btw thanks for ur concern about this, believe it or not for the first 7 month i posted this it posted in android wear, and no one was commenting, i made it with the xda app, i think it has alot of bugs.
[Android General] shanrais:
IMO, if one is able to root the phone, then he will certainly not find any complication in pulling apk using first way.
[Android General] Lord_of_Death:
u might be right bro but rooting is only downloading a file and flashing it through odin.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamloco724:
So here is my story I have had the M8 for over a year everything is perfect about it except I have never liked the camera, my main issue is overexposed lights like when im at an event with overhead lights that ruins the whole picture.

I tried to upgrade recently to both new Nexus devices the 6P was blasting fast and great camera but I couldnt get use to the size. The 5X is still a solid device but I dont like the single speaker and I have sensitive eyes and the fonts are smaller on that phone for whatever reason I changed this in the system and some fonts got bigger while other apps I use didnt change so it became too much of a headache (literally).

Now im looking for a phone just to get me through the next 6 months or so till something newer or better comes out my current issues with the M8 besides the camera is that it has slowed down a good bit on me.

So my question here is the M9 a good upgrade performance wise and I know the camera still has some issues but does it still badly overexpose light?
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iElvis:
Wait for the M10. Much too late to upgrade to the M9, especially since the differences are pretty minor. A lot of people who had M8s and upgraded were disappointed.

I'm using an Anker Quick Charge 3.0 charger to charge this device.

Meanwhile thanks to the QI technology I also charge my Galaxy S6 and iPad mini with the same charger.

The funny thing is although A9 have the smallest battery capacity it charge the slowest, like, 1% every minute, which is ridiculous.

I wonder anybody else experienced similar problem?

Oh by the way the battery life is far from satisfactory, I'm a heavy user who look at my phone every 10 minutes, I need to charge it twice a day. To be honest, S6 is a great phone, it's more vivid screen and wireless charge always make me feel a big mistake to switch over, although it doesn't have Android 6.0 . sadly I really need latest Android badly so I cannot stick to it.

Attaching a screenshot of battery history here, just for reference.
[HTC One A9] 65vdub:
Quick charge 3.0 will be available via a software update, right now it only supports quick charge 2.0 out of the box.
[HTC One A9] crustyeyez:
Why would you switch from S6?
[HTC One A9] jokies:
I'm a developer. I need to run my apps on Android 6.0 . Not only in emulator but as my daily drive.

Just tried my Aukey charger at 40% to 80% in 29 mins
[HTC One A9] sonus:
I early pre-ordered an A9 in red. It of course won't be here for a while. I too use Qi charging a lot and am now contemplating either an S6 or a Note5 or perhaps an LG G4 modded for internal Qi.
[HTC One A9] jokies:
Can you tell me the exact model of the charger? Thanks.

[HTC One A9] hyudryu:
Experiencing same problem. Bought a QC 3.0 adapter, I only got from 6% to 43% in 32 mins. Even at Quickcharge 2.0 speeds, 1.16%/minute seems pretty slow especially when compared to the advertised "0% to 60% charge in 30 minutes." (Lies.....)
[HTC One A9] crustyeyez:
Are you charging in power saving mode?
[HTC One A9] hyudryu:
Yes, are you supposed to turn it off? I think when the phone reaches a certain percentage of power it automatically turns power saving mode off.
[HTC One A9] toiday:
How can you tell what mode you're in? How can you tell if you're in Quick Charge? I thought one of the feature in Marshmallow is it will tell you when you're in Quick Charge or normal charge. I saw that in Nexus 5x and 5p but not in the A9. Does anyone know how to turn this feature on?
[HTC One A9] techlogik:
When you plug the phone into a charger, it turns Power Save off automatically...been doing this since the M9 or earlier.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danjnoble:
Wondering if anyone else are having issues with the bluetooth on the note 5. One issue I'm having is the connection to my galaxy gear disconnects and reconnects randomly and after a few disconnects seems like the phone just ignores the gear and manual connection only works 50% of the time other times I have to reset the phone to regain connection. Other problem Im having, which I cant figure out, is my car bluetooth stereo connects with no issue to my phone but when using calling it uses the car speakers for output audio but the phones mic for input audio. Tried my S5 and the stereo works perfectly. Any suggestions? I've tried wiping caches, unpairing repairing devices. Factory reset (which worked for about a few hours but started the same issues again). I was thinking it may be software related but no software or updates were installed between the factory reset and having issues again.

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willcor:
hi,

i have Note5 stock Rom, no root. I also have a Gear watch (still on Android.. not Tizen, rooted, Null 23 Rom) Been using the Gear watch since launch with my then Note 3, Note 4 and now with Note5.

Overall no problems at all. Only replaced the watch battery a month back thats all.

My Bluetooth connection to all my devices has been overall, very good.

I am currently using my Gear with Note5. The Bluetooth connection is very, very good. i cannot recall it ever disconnecting from Note5. (if in acceptable distance.. +-

10 metres or so.) Overall Gear is working 100%.

Point i am making is according to my experience, Bluetooth connection with Note5 works fine... no disconnecting issues.

I know this doesn't solve your issues,

but good to know.

Good luck
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danjnoble:
I'm wondering if I may have a hardware issue. If connected to a BT device (eg gear) and I move more than a couple ft from the device connection is lost. I'm very confused with my car stereo though, what would cause BT to split and use my phones mic and the stereos speaker not the stereo mic? Anyone ever experience a similar issue?
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willcor:
hi,

futher i can add,

i use Note5 Bluetooth

with following devices no issues. No disconnecting issues or any other issues.

Polor M400 Bluetooth Hart rate watch( re smart notifications) ,

Jam Bluetooth headset (streaming music) ,

Phillips Bluetooth dock.( streaming music.)

My Lenovo laptop,( Sending of pics, apps etc)

and use it to connect to my other Phone devices etc

Never had any issues with disconnecting.

Given that the devices are normally

about 2 meters apart when in use sometimes 10...12 meters.

I would suggest you get you device checked, as yes it does not seem right

that it disconnects so easy (when so near)

good luck
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danjnoble:
This might be an odd question but how would someone go about testing the phones BT, it connects just not stable. Only reason Im asking is I dont want to send it to samsung and have to wait 2-4 weeks and them to come back and say its working.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willcor:
hi ,

yes ,i understand, you don't want to wait for period of time ,w/o your phone. !!!

I would have maybe done some "little tests" , to get a better opinion of the Bluetooth issue ??

eg. Test your devices in environment/area where there is no interference , ( no concrete walls ,buildings ...an open area .No electric cables/towers )

An open area ,field or another locations than your home or workplace etc .

See what is you min. and max. distance on disconnection ,if it only occurs more at your home than another area .? Get some facts and maybe make a small video to illustrate your issue ?

and show it to "someone" in the know ???

eg ..If you bought phone through service provider show video to them ./Samsung ( i have a habit that when i have a issue ..........................

eg. broken roof tiles/wall socket /a damage car part ......etc etc ....

i would take photo's/video ,(with my phone and keep copy on my phone ) and when talking to "somebody" in the know/or send your device to Samsung ,show them photo's /video of issues. It helps them to understand your issues better ,

and maybe give you better advice on issue ?

Also ,try to compare you results with somebody with similar device ???

Google is your friend ???

Google around ..???

you might just learn something in process ,that can help ?

Above is basics of what i would have done .

good luck

Bluetooth firmware v 4.2 and older versions .

hi

further to my post above ,

i just want to add another issue you should be aware .

Bluetooth v 4.2 (Note5 firmware ) and compatibility issues with other Bluetooth versions 3.0 ,v 4.0 v 4.1 etc ,To give you a real life example .......

On my Gear watch i use to have Bluetooth v 3.0 ( ? )

i was using my Note 3 ( at the time ).Then my Note 3 was upgraded to Bluetooth v 4.0 ,

when i started having disconnection issues .Also in Bluetooth settings on my Note3 ,device my Gear would not show up in paired devices or stick in list .

When my Gear Bluetooth firmware was upgrade to v 4.0,

i found the disconnection issues was resolved and my Gear then showed up in pair devices

I am not saying this is the issue,

but you should be aware of what Bluetooth firmware your other devices are using ...?????

Is it Bluetooth L E ( Low Energy ) version 4.2 or v 3.0, v 4.0 ,v 4.1,

good luck

Hi all, i'm looking for a software for my HTC TyTN wich will allow me to see how

much trafic my GPRS connection has used.

Preferbly in megabyte, but kilobyte is okey as well ;)

freeware would be best, but shareware with a free demo period is ok, my employer will pay for it anyway so :)

The reason for this is i would like to have my GPRS on during a complete workday to see how much trafic it will use during this time.

Any tips and pointers are welcome.

Thank you in advance

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *Detection*:
Hmm, it looks like a software/firmware issue, but if you have already used a PIT file and flashed a stock ROM, that's unlikely

Do you have a MicroSD card installed? Maybe try removing that and see if it still happens

If you are still under warranty, and KNOX is 0x0, I'd send it back for repair if all that fails

If KNOX is 0x1, or out of warranty, give TWRP 2.8.7.0 a flash with ODIN, and try flashing a custom ROM, see if that sorts it

If it's still doing it with custom, then all that's left is a hardware fault

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *Detection*:
That's the right way to flash firmware, ODIN and ROM from sammobile, and if you used a PIT file, that is the most thorough method

You should have had a 100% like new, factory reset phone once it was finished if you used a PIT file

Not much good having 0x0 KNOX if you can't use the phone though
