[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] sas90850:
Inside the Internal Storage, it should have two directory, MUSIC and CONTENT. Could someone upload it?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jreach:
Are you having a problem with your internal storage folder?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ptsar:
Jreach, I'm having the same problem as you. I had access to my internal storage and lost it within 20 minutes of receiving the device. I can't reformat using Clean Storage (mass storage cannot be accessed) nor can I see the internal storage using memory, storage card (no card installed message). All of this happened PRIOR to connecting my phone to the pc.

When I use active sync (and Windows Media Player to sync music), I cannot see the internal storage. Windows Media Player doesn't see it either. When I use file explorer or whatever the other option is, I see a removeable drive on my PC. I cannot reformat it. If I double click on it on my xp machine I get an error message saying the "F:\ is not accessible, the file or directory is corrupted and unreadable."

Given that, I suspect we will not be able to fix this and must return our Diamonds to Sprint. Please let me know if you find a solution. Thanks.
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] nvd93:
Hey guys!

I'm sure there is a lot of posts like this one but I couldn't find the right one so if someone finds it please share:)

So my problem is that my dad bought a Huawei p30 pro (Vog-l29) and little did he know about the google account.. I did a factory reset and now I'm stuck with a locked phone.. Any ideas how to fix it? I'm far from pro in doing stuff like this but I'm familiar with a lot of ways so if some one with more experience could just point me in the right direction with names of programs and files I would be very thankful! I've read a lot of ways to do it but then they mention that it won't unlock it.. I have a USB cable for it and a Windows computer, do I need something else?

Would really appreciate some help!

Thanks in advance!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joomla_safdar:
Hi experts,

I've a rooted phone (Moto E) along with FX File Explorer and Root add-on. I also have the following apps installed on the phone:

SB Game Hacker

Game Killer

When trying to modify the values of gold/coins in game, I've come across 3 use cases so far.

Case 1:

I open the game and note down the current value of coins I have.

Then I open the SB/GameKiller app and search for that value.

Then I go back into the game and decrease/increase the coins.

Back to the SB/GameKiller app and re-scan for the modified value.

I repeat the process until I'm down to about 5-10 results after which I modify the value in SB/GameKiller app to a value of my liking.

After this, when I go back into the game, the new value gets reflected

SUCCESS

Case 2:

Case 1 fails (where the final modified value doesn't get reflected in the game).

So I go to /data/data/<game package folder>/ folder.

I usually find a .json file which contains the value of coins/gold.

I change the value and save the .json file and go back into the game.

SUCCESS

Case 3:

Case 1 fails and I do not find any .json file

I try to look for a database folder/file inside the same /data/data/<game package folder>/ path and found a couple of files (webview.db, webview-journal.db etc). I opened all of them in asqlitemanager app. But none of them seem to be storing that any information regarding the game data.

In this case, where can a game be possibly storing this value and fetching it from? It can't be a server because I play the game without being connected to the internet. So my best assumption is that the value is stored locally.

Any suggestions?

I have a question.

Has anyone ever opened the selfie ? in pocket by mistake? Is it possible.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] liam_davenport:
Never had it since day one, You can choose with faceunlock if you want the camera to popup when the screen activates or when you swipe up. And if you don't use faceunlock the camera should never popup.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] spjetrovic:
So it isn't possible by mistake open camera app and selfie while still in pocket?

Ex: we all have pulled out our cells from pocket only to find the screen is on and camera app open. No?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] liam_davenport:
I guess you could launch the camera app from lockscreen in your pocket but by my personal usage I've never had the camera popup by mistake.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] galaxys:
Also never happened to me since launch...
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jaseman:
Anything is "possible" when it comes to the complexity of these modern smart phones. In fact, there are times that I think "we" are asking too much from them and that's why there's so many so-called "bugs" in the way they operate... or fail to operate. However, I always carry my phone in my front pocket and the front-facing cameras has never yet popped-up randomly.

Hi everyone,

Eversince I updated my phone the GPS is not working, Google maps is not giving a location, but when I downloaded GPS toolbox it seems to have a fix. I tried wiping davkik cache but it didn't work.

[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] gigaboss:
What do you mean by clean install? Should just download the file and flash it?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] psiLion:
Have the same issue, thinking of clean install but 300 apps installed is a lot of work. Looks like the Google location provider is not working (if that's the correct name)
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] noobly_dangers:
Was having the same issue using HERE WeGo maps but was able to fix it. Settings > Apps & Notifications > See all (###) apps. Click the dots in upper right corner, Show system apps. Scroll down to Location Services, force stop then clear cache and storage for app. Reboot.

Worked perfectly for me after that. Seems it was holding onto old storage/cache data that didn't get wiped even after doing a stock recovery cache wipe. Can't guarantee that'll work for everyone, but worked for me.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] gigaboss:
It worked, thanks! (well it did not work immediately, then I went in preferences and unticked "Improve Location Accuracy", waited and ticked it again and it worked, not sure if it had any kind of impact)
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] gigaboss:
So, actually it did not work, the location would only work if I toggled on/off "Improve Location Accuracy", so I decided to try again, but this time wiped all the system apps that contained "location"in their names, will keep you posted

Any news? I have the same problem. Maps and Life360 do not show position. Every other app using GPS work fine. I would like to wipe cache and dalvik but in TWRP, when trying this Function, I receive AN error so it is not possible.

Can you suggest me a technique for backup and restore for a fastest wipe data?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Joesalad21:
Hey lads, I know I'm late to the party but I seem to have found something that fixed my Life360 issues.

1. Go to settings => Apps & Notifications and tap "see all apps"

2. Tap the 3 dots in the corner and tap "Show system"

Find "LocationServices" in the list, force stop, clear cache, clear data

4. Go back and find Life360 in the list, open the "advanced" drop-down menu, go to "battery optimization" and select "don't optimize" (this step may not be necessary)

5. Tap "storage and cache", and clear both the cache and storage

6. Reboot

7. Test to see if Life360 can see your location now

I know I'm I bit late and a lot of people wiped their phones to fix this, so I hope this info can help someone in the future!
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] ptisam:
I think I managed to find a workaround which doesn't involve a factory reset for the same issue on my OnePlus 6T:

Settings -> System -> Reset options -> Reset app preferences (this doesn't affect apps data)

Settings -> Apps & notifications -> See all XXX apps -> (3 dots in the upper right corner) -> Show system -> Clear storage and cache of the following apps:

Google Maps

Google Play services

Google Services Framework

LocationServices

Phone Services

Fused Location

Google Location History

OPMmsLocation

I wiped Dalvik cache in TWRP.

I'm not sure all steps are necessary but resetting apps preferences is the key one I think. It's going to reset the permissions of all apps but it's a good alternative to reinstall everything from scratch. The issue of the GPS fix in Google Maps hasn't come back for me since.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] rezapatel:
So I had been having the same issues on 6T, then 7. Did this yesterday but haven't yet been able to test it fully although I feel this may have resolved the issue considering the speed at which the GPS / Compass is connecting on Maps. Once I travel today it will just confirm that theory. If it fixes the issue, lots of prayers and wishes your way sir!

PS. Did you ever face the issue again after the fix?

---------- Post added at 07:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:11 AM ----------

Adding here, I had already tried dumping the cache, storage and Dalvik prior to this which didn't resolve the issue.. Only temporarily. That makes me believe if this is the solution, the most important step being "Reset app preferences" and it does make sense too because Android 9 vs 10, permissions was one of the big changes brought in.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] ptisam:
No, I never had the issue again after :)
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] rezapatel:
Ok, this solution is legit. Seems to be working seamlessly so far. Haven't experienced this consistency with Maps ever since A10. Thank you!!

I have a rooted tablet (Acer Iconia One 8 B1-810) and wanted a way of accessing all apps (eg. Monese banking app) as it's my only android device. Is there a way of faking/spoofing which phone/device it appears as to Play store/apps? Is there an alternative to market helper which I read is no longer being developed? Will a BuildProp Editor reliably solve these problems? If so which is best?

Also is there a reliable/simple way of hiding/temporarily disabling root for apps that detect it?

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] akulp:
Don't ask me how, but I somehow set pattern and forgot it in one hour. I use face rec. as well but after reboot I need to unlock with pattern.

For last 10h I tried all methods how to unlock phone, but no success.

I'm using original, ROM, my G6 model is H870, running Pie, unlocked bootloader, so I can use TWRP. I spent most of my time and knowledge to unlock phone with adb/twrp. Best option I found is to delete gesture.key file which is located under /data/system.

Problem is, that /data is encrypted ...

Is there anyone who managed to remove pattern/lock without loosing data?

Thank you for your time!

Maybe this will work: https://************/delete-android-security-pin/

Edit: link gets truncated... Just search 'Remove pin twrp' on Google and click the first result.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] akulp:
Non of this solutions work.

This is pretty the same as I said. My problem is that /data is encrypted and I can't find/see any .key files.

Also I can't do "su" command inside adb shell because of "insuff. privileges" ...

I tried all this solutions:

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=49666433#post49666433

For method 1 -5 there is a problem with .key files which are not seen to my TWRP/Aroma browser. I don't know If I'm doing anything wrong in method 7, but also after mount I can't access /data/system (/data is empty).

In method 6 I'm stucked on

"Run pull settings.db.cmd inside By-pass security Hacks folder to pull out the setting file out of your phone." step.

I get "insuff. privileges" error.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] krilok:
Have you tried this?

https://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/remove-lockscreen-recovery-t3530008

Basically, the files you have to delete in the /data/system folder in TWRP are:

password.key

pattern.key

locksettings.db

locksettings.db-shm

locksettings.db-wal

It happened to me a while ago and I didn't have any '.key' files either; I just deleted the rest and when I booted up, I had no lock screen security PIN nor registered fingerprints but could re-set them again through security settings. I didn't need to flash any files nor fiddle around with adb commands, and all my data remained untouched...

If you can't find all those five files or the '.key' files, just delete the ones you can find and it should work. Otherwise, you'll probably have to do a full reset and reinstall...
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] akulp:
Problem is, that I don't have any files/folders at all in my /data. I even don't see system folder inside data.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] krilok:
Sounds like your data folder is not mounted when you boot to TWRP... Have you checked? Reboot to TWRP, select the Mount option; data should be ticked by default. It it isn't, select it, go back to TWRP file manager, and see if you can now browse folders and files...
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] akulp:
Unfortunately it's checked ... It's seems from this post:

https://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/remove-lockscreen-recovery-t3530008/page12

nobody managed to get to (encrypted) /data on Pie.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] krilok:
Last comment on that thread says the solution also works on Havoc Os 2.9, which is based on Pie... Maybe that person wasn't encrypted to begin with, but, if it doesn't work for you, I guess then the only way to go is a full reset... Good luck!
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] akulp:
Yep, I saw that post ... I relly don't have any more ideas. Should be inside "mount modul" in TWRP /data listed?

I only have System, Cache and SD ... and i can check System only if i check bottom "mount system partition read-only" option.

But that's nothing to do with /data.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] krilok:
Data option should show. At least it does on mine... You can maybe try updating Twrp version?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] akulp:
I'm on last TWRP.... Meantime I already made full reset ....
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] devloz:
If you have encrypted data partition, you're pretty much banned from messing with it, unless you manage to exploit your way through the adb, which requires you to have it enabled and in trust relation with your PC to begin with.

The way I'd go around this is to place an "always yes su" binary and perform pattern removal process through init.d or similar solution. In case if su commands are restricted, kernel with permissive SELinux needs to be flashed.

On a side note, isn't this Q&A?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] minhsuper14:
I also had a problem with data folder not being mounted when booting to TWRP. I tried a full reset and immediately i have access to the Data folder (but theres nothing left inside so this is kinda useless). Then later when i did a reboot into the TWRP it happened again, couldnt access to anything even when the "mount Data" option is ticked, only until i did the full reset again that it could finally work.

It turned out the problem is with the TWRP itself, i flashed another custom recovery (OrangeFox-R10-Stable-h870, which is btw a better recovery than TWRP in my opinion) and the problem never occurred again.

So either try out that new Recovery or a different version of TWRP and see if it solves the problem. And always, ALWAYS, make a full backup of all your data before messing with anything (i had to learn that the hard way so trust me).
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] ghani mal:
Do this,

- you should know that I am using "orange fox recovery" not "twrp",and stock "pie"

- reboot to recovery and go to system/data

- delete this files:

gatekeeper.password.key

gatekeeper.pattern.key

locksettings.db

-reboot the phone and that's it.

Is it possible to send voice commands from TOM TOM to a bluetooth enabled device?

What are the settings? I can get the voice commands to work with my Jabra headset but not my receiver...

I just got a nifty car receiver that takes A2DP music and phone calls. GPS routing over BT would complete it!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] keithwwalker:
I did some more testing.

It seems that the tomtom signal comes over the A2DP bluetooth signal.

So on my car stereo, the tomtom commands will come through, only if I have the stereo on bluetooth mode. Not the best if you wish to listen to the radio.

Is there a way to force the tomtom commands over the HCP (Hands Free Profile)? That way the voice commands will be forced to the car stereo and interrupt radio play.

kww
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] ice_coffee:
there used to be a registry patch or program that peeps used to use to allow them to listen to music through the BT headset. This was before A2DP existed hence the need, most peeps dismissed it because it was mono and poor quality audio (like listening to your music over a phone line,) but I have a feeling it is exactly what you are looking for !
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] keithwwalker:
I have downloaded a couple of programs, but they don't seem to work.

What is needed is some sort of program where you can pick the software to rout the audio either to a2dp or HFP...
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] ice_coffee:
the software im thinking of gave the choice of routing ALL system audio (including music) via headset profile bluetooth or not, at your choice !! trust me, it is what your looking for.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] keithwwalker:
Problem is, most of those programs are/were pre WM5 and don't work with WM6, BTaudionav is an example. Regardless, if you come up with a software title, let me know.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] ice_coffee:
you should search in the forum for the universal, that is where I would have seen it, as that is the phone I had at the time, It shipped with WM5 but was a long time coming with a rom that supported A2DP, in the mean time these programs popped up !
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] ice_coffee:
just stumbled accross this

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=278778&highlight=a2dp
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] keithwwalker:
I am going to read through the entire thread, but the line of code that says:

"UseJointStereo"=dword:00000000

just turns off the A2DP; 00000001 enables.

Further, it routs all A2DP to mono.

Got through the thread, it really doesn't do what I want.

What I am trying to do is to have music port to A2DP stereo of my car receiver as normal, and have TomTom audio commands to the HFP.

That way you can play music over bluetooth, and when tomtom audio starts, it will pause music play and the tomtom command can be heard loud and clear.

As of right now here is what I

can

do:

TomTom audio commands via A2DP to car stereo (makes for a boring ride)

Music via A2DP to car stereo

Play both music and TomTom over A2DP, but music player is NOT interupted when a TomTom audio command comes through

I am going to search the tomtom forums, but I doubt I will have any luck there.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] ice_coffee:
I see what your trying to do, and it is true there is nothing that quite manages it, the problem is that tomtom would have to be written or modified to use HFP when the commands are played, the best you could hope for is to reduce the volume of your audio to ie 70% and leave tomtom at 100%, this will make the tomtom commands really standout when they are played.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] keithwwalker:
That would be a good compromise, thanks.

fwiw, I have the question into tomtom support, but doubt if those monkeys can do anything...
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] ice_coffee:
I hope you get a result, but as you already know, their support is useless
