[Moto G7 Power Questions & Answers] flug32:
My previous device was 64 GB but with no slot for an extra SD. So 64 GB was tons of space for a few years . . . until it wasn't.

Of course, a bunch of that was music, sound files, other large media type files.

When I moved to the G7 Power I actually went through my app list with a somewhat fine-toothed comb, but even with that winnowing I probably came in with 24 GB of the 32 filled, right off the bat.

Right now I've got 32.2 GB in the internal storage, and that is with all music, videos, and other such things moved to the portable SD storage.

And as I said before, that is with some effort at winnowing things down.

Why? Well in general it's none of anyone's business why, but first off, the device was pushing 20GB straight from the factory if I recall, just the operating system itself takes 11GB, there are a few more GB of pre-installed system apps that I don't really need but can't easily get rid of, and some more that actually are useful.

On top of that I have a couple of large apps that I like and use daily, I'm interested in programming so there is a whole set of apps that comes with that, I'm interested in photography so there is a whole set of apps that comes with that, I'm interested in music so there is a whole set of apps that comes with that, I use the phone for work so there is a whole very large set of apps that comes with that, and so on for a few more interests and hobbies.

If you use your phone to text and read an email, look at Facebook at take a snapshot, then yeah, you're phone will look very, very different from mine.

In short, different strokes for different folks.

Why I'm bringing this up now is, if you're putting in a 128 GB or 256 GB SD card in the phone now, which is a very sensible thing to be doing, then you'll do yourself a favor thinking through how much space you do want to reserve on that card for this Adoptable internal memory.

Because in 6, 12, or 18 months going back to increase the storage you set aside for Adoptable memory from 16 to 32 or 48 or 64 GB is going to take a bunch of hours and screwing around. To make the change you'll have to wipe the card, so you'll need to back up & restore everything on the portable side and then also figure out how to back up all & restore all the apps & data on the Adoptable side.

Better to think it through a little now and make sure to reserve plenty of space rather than too little space.

In fact I reserved about 50 GB in mine for Adoptable Storage and I wish I'd gone a bit higher--at least 64 GB or maybe even 80 or 90 GB.

That's very little off the top of a 256 GB SD card but leaves you with a lot more options on down the line.

And hopefully most of that Adoptable storage will indeed go unused most of the time, but it's better to leave a relative lot of headroom on your system than always have it bumping up against the limits.
[Moto G7 Power Questions & Answers] flug32:
Snooping a round some more today, I found what appears to be the answer to those three questions I had:

> Can you just set it and forget it

> "Couldn't move app. Internal error."

> If you click on SanDisk SD Card (internal Partition) in settings, there is an option to "Migrate data". . . . is that necessary, helpful, not helpful?

The answers are in the Gadget Guide Online Adoptable Storage set guide, which is really thorough.

The short answers are:

You can (and should) just set it and forget it

The reason you can't move things to the SD card adoptable storage manually is because Android is managing it automatically [[UPDATE: This is incorrect: Android does manage the process automatically but if you have a "Change" button under the settings/apps/specific app/storage, you should be able to tap that and change the card from internal to SDCard/adoptable. See more details in post below.]]

Doing the migrate data procedure is essential--either at the time of creating the Adoptable Storage or (as soon as possible) later, via the "Migrate Data" button.

In detail:

If you don't choose "Move Now" just at that time, you can go into Settings/Storage, click your Adoptable Storage partitition, and in settings ('...') choose "Migrate data". This seems to engage the same routine.

Really Nice write up on Adoptable Storage

Here are a few pointers ive bumped into using adoptable storage on my kids E4+ and now on her G7 Power

1. try to use a fast sd card(obviously) im currently using a 64 gb A2-rated Sandisk even though the phone technically cant use that A2 speed

2. I did the 25% 75% split for her which added 16gb to Her "internal" and a solid for her 48gb external

3. I did NOT migrate data i did it manually since in her case she has like 10gb in just games so i moved the games to the "internal sd card" manually which allows all her true phone apps data etc to remain in the faster phone side of memory and keeps around 8GB free in the phone memory.

4. Set Titanium to backup All external data and it saves to the "Portable/External" portion of her Card

5 Her E4+ smoked the card twice where she lost all her games etc ..... Titanium made me look great in her eyes when I restored her stuff. ( takes time BUT worth it)

6. Go into developer options and set "allow apps on external" it may help with errors when moving some apps

This is for me and is what works for my kid who loves games on her phone..... 1 such game has a 3.1gb backup file i was totally shocked by this BUT whatever.....lol
[Moto G7 Power Questions & Answers] flug32:
UPDATE: Now that I have reinstalled the system, I can in fact move apps from SDCard (adopted) to internal or vice-versa, for many or most apps.

The fact that I couldn't do so before without receiving an error message was an indication the system or adoptable storage device was messed up somehow.
[Moto G7 Power Questions & Answers] flug32:
TWRP Nandroid backsup & Adoptable Storage

So I ran into another issue regarding adoptable storage: On my device, when I take a Nandroid backup of DATA using TWRP, the apps stored on the adoptable storage are not backed up.

Checking it out more, here is what I found:

If your entire SD card is adoptable storage, then TWRP should backup apps on the adoptable storage. (This is not 100% checked as I don't have this setup to test. But the TWRP developers swear it works.)

However, if you are set up with a mixed adoptable/portable SD card then TWRP seems to miss the adoptable partition. It doesn't back up those apps. A suggestion would be to use Titanium Backup to back up those apps & data.

This post summarizes this and more related issues.

Any way to toggle the override Forced dark mode in android 10 using Tasker on non rooted device?
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] ktmom:
Not (yet) on A10, but if this is a setting in developer options, likely the way to do this unrooted is to use an intent to open the developer option menu, then use emulated touches via AutoInput to make the toggle happen.

Edit:

I should point out, using the intent is old school tasker [emoji16]. There is an action under settings -> developer settings.

Edit 2:

Thinking about it, you should be able to set it with the tasker settings -> custom setting action. You may have to give tasker read/write secure settings permissions through ADB first if you haven't already.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] TheGhost1951:
Good evening all. I hope everyone has a prosperous New Year. OK, the issue I am having is simply this. I normally shutdown my phone at night and put it on charge. In the morning I boot it up for the day and I have to turn off the "automatic date and time" switch, set my time zone for eastern time ( because that is the time my wife and I work from even though we live in central time zone) and the rest of the day all is good. However, at night I shutdown as usual and then in the morning the routine starts all over again. If for any reason I forget to change the switch to off and set the time zone, I would be an hour late for any calendar appointment I have for the day. Any ideas or thoughts appreciated. Did a factory reset, wiping everything, just received a new firmware update but still no change in the issue. Samsung wants me to send the phone in because it is under warranty. To me that is a major obstacle to do without my phone in the meantime. Thoughts? Please........

Thank you,

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] KruseLudsMobile:
I leave my phone automatic because it is where I am - and work with people in many time zones all over the world with no issue. Calendar invitations for meetings automatically take into account differences in time zones for everyone I invite automatically. If that is not an issue for you, then: set your phone to correctly reflect where you are - and then (you will only need to do this once for pre-existing entries) adjust those entries in your calendar accordingly. So, what's the problem?

Did you think that if you send a calendar invite to someone in a different time zone than you, for, say 11am your time - that it would show as 11am for everyone no matter where they are located in any time zone? It doesn't work that way! Or are all the people in your meetings only in your contact list (rather than a global address book) and all their addresses are incorrectly showing as being in your same time zone?

Not sure I understand!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] TheGhost1951:
Basically what I am stating is if I set "Automatic date and time" switch to off no matter what the reasoning is, it should stay off. Samsung is giving me that option yet Samsung turns around and essentially says I know better as to what you need. I am just wondering if any other N970U note 10 users phones behave the same way. That is if you turn the switch to off, does it stay off after a reboot?

[HTC EVO 3D] entrailnu:
I have an HTC Evo 3D phone. It is for Virgin Mobile. I had it attached to my phone number last year and it worked fine. I upgraded my phone and just had the HTC laying around. My son accidentally broke his phone and I gave the HTC to him. I activated it online and everything went fine. I turned on the HTC and it would not connect. It tries to activate but it is not connecting to the Virgin Mobile network. I have network on and WiFi off. I have tried it with WiFi on and neither is working. I tried resetting the phone. I tried factory resetting and taking the battery out. I tried updating Profile and PRN - not connecting to the Virgin Mobile network.

Have made a total of 4 calls to Virgin Mobile.

Call #1

Your phone is too old and it wont connect to our towers. Get a new phone.

Call #2

Use ##VIRGIN# - that doesnt work? Oh well get a new phone.

Call#3

Needs to be programmed - This one actually tried a few things before he told me I had to go to a Sprint store to get the MSL code so that I could program the MSID and MDN into the phone manually.

Call #4

Retrieved the MSL code *By the way - virgin mobile phones need to be on the virgin mobile network for over 10 months for them to give out the MSL code.

Tried ##(mslcode)# - did not enter into the edit mode - did nothing.

At this point he stated that I needed to upgrade my phone.

Tried ##3282# - was able to edit MSID # but not the MDN number (which is the phone number).

So my questions are - why is it not connecting to the network?

How to change the MDN number?

Anything else? Please?
[HTC EVO 3D] bigsupersquid:
So to update my last post...

I dug up my Virgin 3vo, put it on my hello mobile account which works with my Sprint 3vo, and the VM version refuses to activate, even with the time/date set to 2018 before the SSL certs expired.

As far as I can tell from the logs, activation on the Virgin model is trying to run over 1xRTT (2G towers.) Those, as far as I know, have been obsoleted on Sprint service and will no longer connect.

The exact same thing happens on my Virgin Mobile LG Optimus V.

The Sprint 3vo has newer firmware than HTC ever released for the Virgin model, and runs activation over the 3G towers, which works.

I'm sorry to say that the older Virgin Mobile devices look to be dead ducks for activating data service unless they were already activated on a specific account.

My somewhat newer Virgin HTC Desire 816 (A5) also refuses to provision services with a different error, but it has hardware issues with the SIM slot which may be preventing activation from running properly.

You can still use ##(your MSL code)# to program the MDN/MSID manually for voice/sms service, but for data, I have never gone deep enough into debugging to see how the stock ROM obtains the new profile information and sets it in the NVRAM. It'd require some serious reverse engineering to figure that out.

tips and tricks, additional info

Question: Why are there two apps, Config and Companion?

Answer:

Well, technically, the config app is reading/writing configuration files, and also after the fs being decrypted and also being read/touched - after that happens, only then these files are accessible from kernel. On android 7/8 it was enough to have the files, but unfortunately it's not anymore. So config app is needed to configure features and also the finish the boot-up process and enable the kernel to read the configs.

The companion app is bringing a different functionality: it's needed to have all the events like notifications, ambient light change, gyroscope sensor state to be sent to the kernel. Since android 7+ most of the sensors are not handled on any level by kernel drivers, so it needed an application to channel those. Instead a nanohub/sensor-hub is being in place with closed source firmware usually. Sooo that's why companion app needs to run. Also it does the trick with notifcations pull down.

Back at the time I decided to have them separated, to have a very small memory footprint with the companion app that needed/needs to be always in memory/running in the background.

If you use gesture navigation try enabling the setting "gesture from corner". I thought it was helpful to enable the "continuously vibrate" so you know if you're swiping on the right spot too.

[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] tbalden:
In the meantime， I'm working on a few new features that occurred to me while using sweep to sleep intensive during the last couple of days.

First, I work on adding a special " filtering" mode, where the sweep gesture touch area is protected by a kernel level filter, so that Android upper level framework does not register those touches that could happen over the "app switch" gestures area.

A forty percent of the bottom lane is to be dedicated for the sweep gesture, so that a cut off area is not needed in this new filtered mode. The two gestures thus can share the lowest area of the touch screen and coexist with full functionality in Google's gestures mode.

Secondly this filtered mode allows for the addition of a special double tap registration in that sweep touch area. I'll add a notification pull down mapping for that double tap on the sweep area, very lowest part of the screen.

So far so good, it's super convenient. Still testing phase.

[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] tbalden:
The sweep area height is a bit tricky, it's an absolute value, from the bottom of the screen, so it must be a higher value than the bottom cut off areas height.

So experiment with that set to around 200 first, as the horizontal cut off area is 100 on your screen shot.

Does this make sense? I hope this helps

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] kadajawi:
I'm struggling with the multi user system... the usage scenario is as follows:

I want to remain the admin of the tablet and need full access to it. However the main user of the S5e is someone else, who occasionally is on the other side of the world, i.e. far away. She should not have full admin access to the device. However, she needs to be able to start the tablet after it was turned off/restarted. Right now, it seems to require my PIN - switching the user account to hers is useless at this point, the tablet needs my PIN. I do not want to give it to her.

What can I do? It seems like I need to empty the admin account completely, so that it is at least sort of safe for her, and reinstall my own account as a regular user? That's stupid. Windows has absolutely no issues starting with a user account, and AFAIK the same is true for Linux.
