[IDEs, Libraries, & Programming Tools] Filipus:
Hello Community,

By now, everyone knows Android has dropped support for USB Mass Storage access to its folder. Which means a Windows computer can no longer programmatically copy a file from Windows to a USB-connected Android device.

I have a Windows application that needs to be able to drop a text file from time to time onto an Android phone. I also have an Android app that monitors a certain folder on the device and processes those text files as they come in. In the past, all I had to do on the Windows side was to map a drive pointing to the Android device and my Windows app would then be able to copy the files to that drive. But that doesn't work anymore with more recent versions of Android.

The phone and the computer may be located in an environment where no wifi is available or where both devices are not on the same wifi network. The computer may also not have bluetooth capabilities. In other words, the only thing I can count on with certainty is the USB connexion between the phone and the computer.

I could use a batch file calling ADB, but since different phones may have different ADB drivers, it means I can't provide a generic way for my Windows App to transfer a file to any Android phone. And I have no control over which phone gets connected to which computer. In addition, I can't use a GUI based application to transfer the files: my Windows application needs to run unattended, without having to wait for user action. The same is true of the Android application.

I know there are a number of WebDav/FTP/Bluetooth applications I can install on the Android device so that it can expose a folder to outside computers, but they all rely on over the air connectivity. I tried to find information on writing my own Android Server application that would "publish" a folder to the PC to which the phone is connected via USB, but I can't find anything of use in the Android SDK documentation; the USB stuff all pertains to IoT, not to the actual link that gets established between a PC and a phone. I think what I need to do is to write an app that turns the device into some kind of Samba server that's accessible through the USB connecion, but I have no idea where to start looking for documentation on doing it.

Does anyone have any pointers on how to accomplish this?

PS: please don't start asking questions like "Why do you need to drop a file onto the phone", or "Why don't you just make sure Wifi or bluetooth is always available?". I already explained those restrictions and they are there for very good reasons. So thanks for staying on topic.
[IDEs, Libraries, & Programming Tools] Arun H:
Hi,

I am also under the same question of "how to transfer a file from PC to Android Device". The only difference is, I have a GUI which prepare data to be transferred. The user can say "proceed" to copy.

Have found any solution for the above question raised ??

Hello,

I've been looking for about a week for a way to assign certain sounds when certain people/categories of people in my contact list send an SMS to me.

The only thing I found so was is for symbianOS (MessageTones).

Do anyone know if something equivalent exist which will run on WM6?

Thanks in advance

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OdlG26:
Hi there,

my 802 is running on TWRP after I updated to the latest stock ROM (30D Europe Open). Unfortunately due to problems mentioned in another thread I cannot install a custom ROM currently. Does anyone here have a mirror for me where I can download a TWRP backup of the stock ROM?

Thank you in advance :)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Turbine1991:
If you can't install a custom rom, what makes you think you can install a stock? It's pretty easy.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OdlG26:
Very helpful... I flashed the latest KDZ on the G2, rooted it and installed TWRP 3.0.2.0, so far so good (believe it or not I flashed a dozen other android devices before). However when I try to install a Marshmallow ROM it gives me Error 7, so that means that getprop.device or so doesnt bring the correct value up. Now when I tried to switch to an older TWRP which is supposed to not have that Error 7 issue (2.7.0.0) I get an error saying I am missing the Loki files in the tmp folder. Now I do not know how to get around the Error 7 (the fix that is mentioned on here didnt work for me, brings up Error 6 instead) I would like to return to a stock backup.

How about giving me actual advice or leaving and letting other people help?

Edit: Booted in Download Mode and flashed v30D KDZ with the 2014 LG Flashtool. Works with Stock ROM for now

This is driving me crazy and I've been searching all over the internet. The same song starts playing usually early in the morning, today it also happened just before 11am with the phone away from me and the screen closed. When I open it the music stops and no app is open. No alarm profiles, gestures turned off but I am not close to the phone, bluetooth turned off. Any ideas? Pure with marshmallow.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pyramid Head:
when did this started happening? Now remember which apps you installed since then and delete them, another option is to go to battery settings and see if anything is using too much battery but without you opening it

PS: Are you sure its not a family member doing it just for fun??lol

PS2: Delete the song?_?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsquid:
Probably about a month ago and not very much, has gotten to be more. I have checked battery settings can't find anything that is using battery.

Positive nobody is doing it. Just the wife and she is not enough up on technology.

Yea, I will probably try deleting the album. It's always the same thing on the same album.

I have gone through the apps and there is really nothing else that would be controlling a song.

Thanks for the ideas.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pyramid Head:
if it starts playing another song then try a factory reset
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsquid:
Yes, factory reset was first on my list and it's still happening. Maybe I'll look at roms.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Dolphran:
On my S7E, whenever a Bluetooth keyboard is attached, the on-screen keyboard will no longer do swype continuous input. The only way to get it back is to force detach the Bluetooth keyboard. Anyone know if this can be fixed?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Dolphran:
The reason this is a problem for me is that the Bluetooth "keyboard" in question is just a media button ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RM75NL0/ref=s9_acsd_al_bw_c_x_4 ) used to send play/pause, forward, back, and volume. But if I use it, then I can't Swype text in the messaging app. Anyone have a workaround?
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hachuwaka:
First, I try to log in with my usual Huawei ID. It doesn't allow me. I try to get my password back, they send me an email in Chinese with a link to restore my password, I click on that link and the web does not exist.

Then I created a new account. I finally logged in! But, when I was typing my phone information (IMEI, serial number, etc) and when I finally clicked on the submit code buton, it said the following:

The Huawei ID used to apply for the unlock code has not been used on the device for more than 14 days.

Any ideas with that?
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sebastien_be:
Hi,

I can tell you I tried during months on the website and always got the same error code as you. Then I used DC unlocked, it cost me 7€ I think and I got the code in 4 minutes. It saved me a lot of time, so don't hesitate. Please have a look at a tutorial where they talk about the official and unofficial method. That's the unofficial method which works great.

[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arnold72:
never again huawei!,because I have to pay to have the code!??????? , ****!
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sebastien_be:
To pay 7€? Are you kidding me? For a phone that you got at least 50€ less expensive versus the competitors...
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arnold72:
I have no cards for payment , I have to go to the bank to make it an order to unlock this phone cabbage?!!!!
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roberto_Nunin:
This means that the registration on Huawei website must be "old" at least 14 days. If you can wait 14 days, you will can get your unlock code without further problems.

This doesn't means that I agree with Huawei statements.

Hope this can help you.
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arnold72:
I waited 60 days , I think are sufficient....
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roberto_Nunin:
Certainly, a problem is occurring. I'm reporting mine experience that was positive, at 15th day I was able to generate the code and next to unlock the phone.

The message was still the same ?
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arnold72:
yes,the message is alwais the same

The Huawei ID used to apply for the unlock code has not been used on the device for more than 14 days

ciao
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sebastien_be:
Hi,

I can tell you for sure you will never get the unlock code from the huawei website. I tried for 4 months i think. I tried with my huawei account linked to facebook, i tried with a new user account not linked to facebook, I alsways made sude the huawei ID was connected on the phone, I got in contact with Huawei club also which only warned me about the risks of rooting the phone, etc.

I still don't figure out why it worked for some and why not for some others, but paying 4 or 7€ definitely saved me a lot of additional headaches.

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] mimpoca:
I've been having a strange problem with the backup camera on my JY unit (RK3066 - Malaysk ROM). I use a wireless transmitter to get the signal from the camera to the unit.

In cool weather, everything works perfectly. In hot weather, when I first start the car, I get a black screen with "no signal" until the AC has cooled down the inside of the car a little - then it works perfectly again.

At first I thought that the wireless receiver for the camera may be a little heat sensitive and doesn't work when its too hot. BUT...

The other day (it was hot again) I started the car, and it worked...perfect picture. The head unit booted and suddenly the picture turned black with "no signal".

This behavior makes me wonder if there is something in the software that turned the picture off.

Has anyone experienced something similar?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] SiteRnr:
Hello,

I was having a issue where hu would out of the blue switch to backup picture and get a no signal sign and then on its own go back to normal and do this at random. Turns out the wire i was using for trigger signal and ground and voltage was not big enough. Once I replaced them its working like it should now. That is the only issue close to yours that I have had.

[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris-woods:
Hello guys i'm on Resurrection Remix(official by Shreesha) and I'm interested by H2OS 1.4 it look really pretty and I love the UI style but there is any good H2OS theme for CM on Play Store

I saw that H2OS had a really good battery life and that a point that I'm researching for a food ROM

In Resurrection remix almost everything is OK and it's stable but I want to change

So I have so me questions about H2OS(v.1.4)

Is the ROM is stable fluid without any lag?

Is the battery life really really good ?

Does it have regular updates?

Is it better than Resurrection Remix ?

Thanks in advance

PS: If someone ever seen the review of H2OS could you send me the link plz?( I have already saw the overview by Saeed Ashif Ahmed)
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris-woods:
Anybody tested H2OS and Resurrection Remix ?
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] L1k3ab055:
I'm currently using H2OS, and i love it. I haven't had any problems so far, except from a small one with bluetooth audio (which was an easy fix). Fingerprint is miles faster than anything right now (except OOS3), and the rom itself is beautiful. Updates are regular i think, i got an OTA today. Battery life is the best i've had on any rom.

[General Questions and Answers] novastrict:
Hello everyone. Total android noob here, just switched from a Blackberry Q10 to a Sony Zperia Z5 Compact (or at least I am in the process of switching).

So I bought the Z5c from ebay a couple weeks for a great price in like new condition and the phone is locked to O2. I did unlock phones in the past using codes, so I placed and order and received unlock codes for my device, but this one will not work via this process.

Can anyone please tell me how can I unlock the network on my device? Do I need to unlock the bootloader to do this? Is there any rooting involved and losing the DRM keys and functionality in the process as well as warranty? I still have warranty until December 2017 so I'd rather not tamper with any firmware. If no easy and safe way of unlocking is available, I'll probably just sell it and buy a factory unlocked unit, if there even is such a thing...

Thanks and please excuse the total noobness :)

Hi guys. I have created a modified SecSettings2.apk for the G920F and want to share this with you. :)

Maybe it works with other S6 models too.

Original Thread:Here! :p

make backup of the original SecSettings2.apk

if you will want to revert mod back, you have to restore the original SecSettings2.apk

use only with stock 6.0.1 rom

copy SecSettings2.apk to your phone and move it to /system/priv-app/SecSettings2

change permissions to rw-r--r--

enjoy it

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragont4:
so i followed the recent bootloader unlock, i have the retail in developer mode, i got twrp installed, this i where it gets messy, it went into a bootloop, so i did a wipe on the cache and davk cach, didn't work. even pulled the battery, so i tried the format. same problem, did work, so i did a wipe again which i think i really broke it when i wiped all but the sdcard, so now, NO OS. so i'm trying to get files to reflash stock roms, i found downloads to the stock files btw, currently downloading.

so, i have twrp

no backup (i'ma idiot lol)

no OS installed

bootloader is confirmed to be in developer mode

can't get phone to access fastboot. via adb

only recovery and download avaible

[edit, i can move files onto my sd card by using another phone to move files]

so do i continue with trying to use idon to flash stock rom onto the phone? will twrp still be installed? and will i keep my developer unlocked booloader?

twrp is v2.8.5.0

(been working on this for about 14 hours now)

FIXED!!

ok, so i found a stock recovery file, md5.tar, i'll post a link below.

i used odin, put phone into download mode, connected with odin running as administrator.

selected the file i used in the AP button, (had to wait awhile for it to check md5, doesn't respond during that time)

it failed. so i pulled phone in battery and tried to turn on recovery, it sent me to the download screen and said the verizon update failed. tried to reinstall rom again. pulled battery. said same thing.

i reflashed the TWRP i was using with odin, doing the AP button with it too.

[[It will say failed on deviced and in odin]]

phone now boots up.

[btw the temp root i did was kingroot]

I'm glad that you fixed it, but I just wanted to say what I think your problem was so that other people can fix it with a little less pain.

The bootloader unlock writes files to your sd card during the process. That's why the instructions state to use an SD card that you can set aside later. If you leave that SD card in the phone when you boot, you will bootloop. Simply removing the SD card and putting in another one will work. You can also remove the SD card, format it, and put it back in.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragont4:
Yeah I was thinkong about that. I had pulled the sd card right after due to boot loop. Think it had to do with the sd card. I messed a step up I believe there at the end.
