[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dodgy_Bob:
Hey folks,

OK, I'm just a little bit out of my depth here, so here it goes!

This probably sounds dodgy, but it is what it is: my daughter's phone (rooted HTC Desire 816) appears to have been "hacked" by someone at her school - whether its a prank gone wrong or she's a victim of bullying, we don't know and now we're dealing with the fallout.

By hacked what I mean is that the person or persons have somehow managed to find out my daughter's PIN and have then used it to gain access to her phone. Once in, they have turned off the custom lock screen installed (Hi Locker) and turned on the default lock screen and set a PIN which we don't know. Obviously, we're trying to get back into it without wiping it and don't know how to except for trying all 10,000 combinations!

So yeah, does anyone know how I might be able to go about getting back into the phone quicker than trying all 10,000 combos of PINs!?

Like I said, it is a rooted device; I was the one who initially set the phone up for my daughter. So its running TWRP and through TWRP I've been able to do an 'ADB Pull' request and dump the contents of external_sd and sdcard to my laptop so that at least that much data is preserved. I've also backed up the mmssms.db so that hopefully I can restore these databases if needs be. My daughter would like to not have to wipe the phone as she can't remember what other data (if any) might be lost if we do and I said I would try all other avenues before it gets to that.

Anyhow, I thought I would reach out to the community to find out if there is some way that I might be able to disable the lock screen or at least initiate some sort of backup process from the lock screen that would enable us to reset the lock screen. If not: such is life. But, if there is something that could be done, well, that would just be absolutely fantastic.

Thanks in advance folks for your responses and time.

Kind regard,

Dodgy Bob.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dodgy_Bob:
Hi folks,

After a bunch of further digging through random blogs and YouTube videos and whatever else, I happened across this site which pointed out a couple of different tricks that hadn't popped up on other sites I had come across. These were:

Safe Mode Option; and

adb shell rm /data/system/gesture.key

Safe Mode Option didn't work for me, because it wasn't the 3rd party lock screen app that was the issue.

However, the gesture.key option

did

work for me, albeit with a couple of tweaks! Gesture.key wasn't present because the phone is running a newer version of Android, v6.0 (I had forgotten this!), so I had 2 gatekeeper files and 3 db files -and- rather than deleting them, I added .orig to the file names. Once I had done this, I rebooted back into System from Recovery and ta-da, I was back into the phone!

Big thanks to [MENTION=4513560]Helloworld294[/MENTION] for this post here which I found after searching more due to reading this page.

It's all worked out in the end.

Kind regards,

Dodgy Bob

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] wiscomick:
Hi folks. Just moved to a different carrier, we were previous Google Pixel owners, but our new carrier doesn't support them so we had to move to S10s.

The big complaint here is the horrible sound quality coming from the phones to all of our Bluetooth devices. Cars, speakers, living room sound bar. Static-y noises and what sounds like just a far lower quality across all devices than what comes from our Pixels which we still have. Our kids Iphones have no issues playing clean and clear either.

Really frustrating issue, we both use our music service daily and this is darn near a deal breaker.

Any ideas or solutions out there? I've searched high and low to no avail. Thanks in advance!

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Player04:
is your phone rooted? Is this a snapdragon or exynos version? If its exynos version, rooted, installed aptx bluetooth codec and viper4android for better audio
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] heyoooo142:
Exynos, fully stock here.

No problem with bluetooth audio.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] wiscomick:
US Snapdragon phone. Completely box stock. Bluetooth even connects at an audibly lower volume. It sounds almost like it's connecting through one of those old FM Bluetooth transmitters. It's terrible. I've fiddled with every solution I can find online for others suffering the same issue, nothing works.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] hannsheinz:
Actually, I didn't want to root my S10. However, the sound quality via bluetooth is so bad that you cant avoid Viper4Andriod.

That was also the case with the S8. At the point Samsung has huge deficits.

Without root / V4A you just have lousy sound quality.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] wiscomick:
I'd really love to find a workaround that doesn't involve rooting, but if that's all there is.....
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] sudhakarareddym:
I had the same problem with snapdragon unlocked variant. The factory audio quality over Bluetooth was terribly bad. It was tinny.

Interestingly when i used "seperate app sound" feature it has improved. But not as good as exynos variant when i compared.

Steps to follow.

Advanced Audio setting -> seperate app sound -> Turn ON ( select the app and bluetooth device )

Let me know if it works.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] wiscomick:
Never did find an answer to this question. Found that when it's plugged into a 3.5mm port it's even more noticeable. It's got to be a software issue. The static starts as soon as any music begins, and ends on any song switch or pause. You can actually hear the static 'kick in' right before the sounds start to play. It's horrible. Doesn't do it on my backup phone, or either of my kids' iPhones. Just these two S10s.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Raul77:
Hey man, did you ever find a fix? all of a sudden I started having this issue. If I turn "Call audio" OFF it is fixed and the quality is great again, but with Call Audio on, its crappy, on my car, or headset, same behaviour.

The phone seem to be using the Call Audio profile despite no active call.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Raul77:
Did some more testing, if I hit on "Disconnect" on my car system, I get the "call disconnect" sound and after that the audio is great. The issue seem to be the phone thinking its on a phone call and using call audio profile to stream the audio.

Hi.

I am trying to update my P20 to latest EMUI9.1 via eRecovery method.

My P20 don't see my home network in eRecovery whatever setting i set up.

Where am i wrong?

(in phone mode wifi connection working like a charm). No SSID hidings and all is transparent and visible in normal phone mode.

Any HELP?
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] Jan Philipp:
Tried it with my phone. When my routerr runs with 2,4 & 5 GHz Wlan together the eRecovery can't even download the package info. Try to disable the 5 GHz-Wlan. But.... on my phone the eRecovery is loading the version which is already installed. Not the EMUI 9.1 package.

[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] zorzgeo:
Router SSID is visible always. Just when reboot to eRecovery, there is no visibillity.

I have try with patched HiSuite but without any result. Where to enter SSID address from Firmware Finder? In HiSuite or in a Router :(
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] zorzgeo:
Patched HiSuite and method from this LINK is now working like a charm!

My mistake was i am entering model name EML-L29... in process of firmware registering.

I should enter a firmware link in process of a registration firmware for downloading. Thats all.

Easiest way is to smoothly register firmware for downloading via Firmware Finder on mobile device and then connect it to a patched Suite.

Enjoy!

Hello there!

I have a kaiser and I use it with a BT stereo headset (HBH-DS220)...

I was wondering if it is possible to remap the buttons on the left side of the kaiser to control the music and volume... for example... "voice speed dial" button would be Skip, the jog dial volume and the OK would be Previous...

I tried using the search function with the key words "Kaiser Button Remap" but i didnt find anything, so I decided to ask to see if anyone knows how to do..... Pardon me if i didnt see a solution.

Is there a way to do it? Is there a software for the kaiser to do it?

Thank you!

hey guys, i have a kind of annoying issue with my speaker:

When playing music or video (YouTube, music player,

video player) the sound gets cut out for a few seconds, the phone makes a static sound and then the music comes back.

With headphones this bug is not there, nor with Bluetooth speaker. Only when playing sound thorough the phone's speaker this bug occurs.

It occurs exactly every 2 minutes (120secs), then after 2 or 3 seconds it goes back to normal.

Does anyone have the same issue or any possible solutions i can try.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Debcal:
Hi

I flashed lineage 14.1 OS over the manufacturers stock ROM about 3 weeks ago. The Lineage ROM had issues BUT the battery was still charging normally. (Worth noting that the battery was also charging perfectly fine on when the manufacturers Rom was still installed). Seeing as Lineage 14.1 had a host of other issues, I then flashed AOKP's version of Pie with GAPPS Micro. At first, the battery would charge until 53%. However after it drained to 0%, it has not charged properly since. (6 days or so).

A) Battery is about 6 months old, so relatively new

B) non-charge problem started with installation of AOKP version of Pie

C) I have used a couple of battery health apps,which reveal the following:-

c.1) Battery health is fine

c2) Voltage 3.5V (essentially 0% charge)

c3) amperage averaging around 30mA

c4) Battery Manager and other apps state that the battery is "connected but not able to charge"

D) I have tried deleting the batterystats.bin file, which had no affect

E) I have tried using recalibration apps off Google Play Store with no affect.

F) I have cleaned the USB port and tried different cables, also with no affect.

I'm going to try flash another OS shortly. Other than that my last idea is to purchase a new battery. HOWEVER just thought I'd ask if anyone has any other bright ideas as to what might have happened to a perfectly functional battery? Another thing worth mentioning is that the power button on this device doesn't 'click' anymore. So one cannot feel that the button has been pressed, you have to press harder to ensure that the device powers on. It was like that for a long time before this battery problem started but thought I'd mention it. Can a faulty power button be causing a massive power drain on the battery OR be stopping it from charging?

EDIT - when the phone is off and plugged in to the charger, the battery icon shows it as "charging". However if I leave it for a few hours and switch the phone on again, it still reflects as 0% charged and only switches on with the power cable attached. Also I cannot get into recovery mode, after shutting down, unless I leave the phone plugged in and "charging" for a while. It's like recovery mode needs at least some power from the battery.

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Sheradrax:
I decided to roll back to Pie for a bit so I can enjoy some bug-free experiences and try to test the Pokemon Masters. I've tried to install HavocOS 2.7 Offical GSI and also the official ASiP for the mata.I'm on boost mobile in the US and it seems that neither have the correct apn. For HavocOS, where it says your carrier in the notification bar, it read 310000 and only listed Verizon apns. ASiP said boost, but none of the apns worked. I also tried adding boost apns manually, which still wouldn't let me access 4g. Only 3G. I also tried changing the network type through the settings and through the *#*#4636#*#* menu. I can't figure it out but really want to use HavocOS (or any custom rom really). I'm tired of stock Q for the moment. Any suggestions?

Quick edit: 4G works on stock July Pie release and Q. Also stuck on 4G on LOS 16.

Edit 2: I got back to Pie by removing myself fromt the Q beta using the app and used a fastboot img to roll back. All is fine on stock every time. I've even tried switching out the system.img and replaced it with the HavocOS img in the fastboot package. Installed and ran smooth, but still no 4g no matter what.
