[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] iamOlly:
Hello Everyone,

This is a 100% genuine question, I am not a crook, blagger or thief.

A friend of a friend passed away recently, she was young (30's) and left three young children behind and a heartbroken husband.

Anyway, she had a sony xperia X with photos of her kids, her life and all her personal accounts linked to it - and it is behind a password so her family have been unable to gain access to her phone. They have asked me to help as ive done a few things for my friend in the past with a high level of success (data recovery, etc)

I have a ton of info about her, kids DOB's, husbands DOB, all their names, her email account (but no password for that either) and a ton of hints and suggestions of what the PW could be from her dad but so far ive been unable to get in.

I have tried DrFone android toolkit but the phone isn't supported.

I have searched and searched and the things I have found either involve a hard reset/wipe which we dont want or involve using some dodgy solution that I really dont trust (i only just persuaded myself to get DrFone as that didnt exactly look fully legit)

So i'm reaching out to this community as I know if anyone will have any suggestions it would more than likely you guys.

Im a LONG time lurker of these forums (although i'm ashamed to admit ive only just singed up now to post this) im reasonably clued up on these things and have messed about with phones since I was a kid, but this has left me scratching my head.

Few points to note;

The phone is locked with a password, I dont beleive USB debugging will be enabled (cant check) and I *think* i know the gmail account linked to it but cant get access to it. The phone is no longer on a network so cant access the web or have security pins sent to it via SMS although I dont think I would be able to see them as its been rebooted and needs password to view contents of any messages that come in.

Thanks in advance guys and girls :)
[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] YasuHamed:
if its locked bootloader then there is no way you can retrieve data

not from the internal storage

its encrypted! any attempt to login and rooting will require long process and sony will wipe everything

try remembering her gmail and password. usually backup goes to gmailaccount , perhaps thats you clue
[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] iamOlly:
Thanks for your reply mate, I am trying to get access to her email, I shall keep you posted :)
[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] shoey63:
Why not unlock her bootloader, flash TWRP and gain access to the pictures that way?

Edit: OEM unlock needs to be enabled in developer options - unlikely :(
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Tmobilefan906:
im usuing tasker 5.0b5, and am wondering if anyone could help with a profile that will turn off wifi completely when there isnt any wifi around or when wifil has been disconnected. and also hoping a task with this profile to turn wifi back on when wifi is visible again. i seen a few tutorials and youtube vids on how to do this, but they were in reference to older tasker versions. can anyone help? thanks
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Fe Mike:
I use these 3 profiles to basically do what your asking. You will have to change the profile with cell near to what ever cell towers are near you.

Let me know if you have any questions

Do I link these profiles or run them all seperate?
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Tmobilefan906:
This is what I have set up from the xml you sent me
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Tmobilefan906:
Or like this?
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Tmobilefan906:
Do these profiles supposed to turn WiFi off? As in, turning it off in settings too? I tried these and it don't work that way. I did change cell near as you suggested.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Tmobilefan906:
Could you quote my post so I can get the notification for this o.p? Tyvm
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Fe Mike:
---------- Post added at 12:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:20 PM ----------

Yes use all 3 at same time, make sure your variables are getting set. The one profile sets wifilocation variable when your near your cell towers, then the second one will see that wifilocation is set and activate causing it to turn on wifi and wait for 20 sec and if its not connected will turn wifi off. you may need a profile that turns wifi off when screen is off or go into wifi settings on phone and set it to not stay on when screen is off. Also you may need to turn on cell workaround and/or use new cell api under taskers preference depending on the model of your phone. You may not need the If WiFi connected profile, I think I used that for another project.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] loogielv:
Honestly this is a complicated way of doing something very simple.

The most accurate and low battery way to accomplish this is to have 1 profile with a state context of "cell near" and set it to scan while you walk around your house for 5 min and then set it down and let it scan for another 10 min. (This ensues all available cell towers in your area are accounted for) and make tier entry task enable wifi. So when you're close to home, tasker will enable WiFi and Android will handle reconnecting.

In the exit task,Turn wifi off so whenever you leave your area WiFi will be deactivated and you are using nearly 0% battery to achieve it
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Tmobilefan906:
Yeah. I have already used that task before. The cell near profile. I just want a profile that turns WiFi off completely when I'm not connected to any WiFi.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] HatchetEgg:
How about a wait time, then afterwards switch wifi off if not connected?
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Tmobilefan906:
Yes
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] loogielv:
Ok then the best thing to do is create a profile event context of WiFi disconnected and make the entry task merely set a variable %WIFITIMER to %TIMES+120

then create another profile with a time context and set if to activate on %WIFITIMER (which would be set for 120 seconds after the WiFi disconnected and make the entry task WiFi disable

Then create one more profile with an event context of WIFI CONNECTED and set the entry task to clear the Wi-Fi timer. This will ensure that if the Wi-Fi reconnects, the Wi-Fi disable profile won't be able to activate because the time will never be Null

The logic is: if the Wi-Fitimer is set then when the current time matches it, disable the Wi-Fi, but if it reconnects, the timer is disabled.

Edit

The benefits of these profiles is more than merely an elegant approach, but also the least battery impacting method to have Tasker wait until a certain time to do something. Using wait actions inside tasks might be one of the worst things for battery life

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
You can't flash a M7UL ruu on a M7DUG. It's not the same phone. They share the same "HTC One M7" commercial name but 2 different phones. Different partition layout, different radio, different hardware.

You'll have to wright back your original MID and CID and flash a DUG ruu, not sure if it will be possible using the 1.54 hboot (not compatible with the DUG). Maybe try to make your own firmware.zip with the correct hboot image and an android-info.txt using asterisk for the CID and MID values. If that works and got your 2.xx hboot back you should be able to restore your MID/CID and flash a DUG ruu.

or it might be possible to restore using some JTAG equipment... you'll have to contact someone having this kind of equipment to see if it's possible (and if the price worth it for an almost 5 years old phone....)

Hi,

After some weeks of use, I find that the lateral volume key moves a lot in its slot (taken off + small circular movement).

Whats the new dialler? Any screen shots
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] FL4NK3R:
Yes, pealse, what is the new dialer? I need one that manages groups and the only one pretty decent I've found so far is

ZenUI Dialer
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] jaseman:
I used to use the ZenUI dialer but after the Oreo update it stopped working for me and nothing I do helps....however, the default built in dialer/contacts app has the ability to manage groups...they are called labels.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] FL4NK3R:
Mhmm... sorry but no, the default built in dialer/contacts app has the ability to show labels/groups (in contact details), but it cannot manage them. For example: the contacts app shows all the people I have, no matter the group they belongs, it's a ridicolous useless mess! :mad:

I use ZenUI dialer, but, in effect, it don't work flawlessly: it has "the app is running in background" notification all the time, and it has not the lost calls dot...
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] jaseman:
I am not sure what it is that you are trying to accomplish...I can sort by label/group, I can add and delete contacts from each group, I can create new groups, or even delete entire groups...what is missing for you?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] FL4NK3R:
Sorry, are we speaking about the same app? :confused:

My dialer app has three tab: preferities, calls, and contacts. In the contacts tab there are all my contacts, no matter the group they belong. I need to have only "personal contacts" in my contats tab and also a group tab, exactly like in my old phone.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] chefboyct:
So no one has WIFI signal issues ?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] tomo100brt:
No more issues with wifi. It passed 2 weeks after my phone couldn't connect to wifi. On Android 7.1.1 I always lost wifi connection although wifi signal was good. All good for now.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] jaseman:
OK, let's say you open the phone dialer. AT the top are three tabs...a STAR which equals your frequent contacts/calls. The second tab is an icon of a clock...this is your most recent call list. The third tab is the contacts icon...now when you tap this icon

all

your contacts show up. Now when you're on this screen if you tap the three dots in the upper right corner you will see a choice for "Advanced contacts". When you tap on this it basically opens the contacts app that is in the app drawer. Now you will see in the upper left three horizontal bars...tap on these and you will now see all the various features of the contacts app like I mentioned previously. Is this not what you have??

Now if you want to show only certain groups when you open your contacts then click on the three horizontal bars, then go to settings, then you will see an option called "Contacts to display" and in here you can pick and choose which ones will display based on group membership.

Certainly there are third party contacts apps that do things differently but for me the default app does all I could ever need.

I do not know how to explain it to you more easily: I want ONLY the MAIN CONTACTS, without having to go to "Advanced contacts" (exactly like in the old caller app).

It is quite obvious that if I have taken the time to create different groups for my contacts, I don't want to see them all mixed together in the default view!

Sorry I didn't clearly understand what you were trying to accomplish. It would be nice if the dialer contacts worked the same as the contacts app seeing that they are linked. Maybe Sony can be persuaded to change how "they" work?? LOL hahahahahaha...... :silly:

Until they do you're just going to have to use a third party app that suits your needs.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] FL4NK3R:
This strange behaviour of the dialer derived from Google Dialer, of which our app is a branded Sony derivation. Damn Google, why give us groups/tags just to ignore them? :mad: :silly:
