[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flroots:
I'm looking for a way to locate phone if lost or stolen. I've used Cerberus for years with good luck, but my paid account has been mysteriously deleted? The key features would be:

1. Locate phone with gps and wifi triangulation

2. Take front and rear photos on command

3. Ability to hide app (root is OK)

I've done some searching, but most threads are very old. Thanks in advance.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hyper_X:
Hey, my Cerberus account is gone as well and I've been looking for forum posts reviewing alternatives, but haven't found that many, so decided to mention the best ones I've found myself:

Prey Anti Theft - This app can track the location of your phone using GPS, Wi-Fi, and cell towers. You can also remotely take photos and lock your phone. Prey can be hidden from the app drawer and disguised as a system app to prevent it from being uninstalled.

Lost Android - This app allows you to remotely control your phone via text messages from another phone. You can locate your phone, take photos, lock your phone, and wipe your phone's data. Lost Android also has a stealth mode that hides the app icon and prevents uninstallation.

Avast Mobile Security - This app offers anti-theft protection, malware protection, and a VPN. You can track your phone's location, remotely lock it, and take photos and videos. Avast can also hide itself from the app drawer and disguised as a system app.

Lookout Security & Antivirus - This app provides anti-theft protection, malware protection, and identity theft protection. You can track your phone's location, remotely lock it, and take photos and videos. Lookout can also hide itself from the app drawer and disguised as a system app.

Most of these are paid though, but if someone needs a free alternative there are few options as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] LuRock:
So I got the Android 10 update this morning. I'm on an unlocked Sprint Note 10+ however, after the update the phone recognized that I had an ATT sim installed and asked me to restart the phone right after it booted up from the Android 10 update. To my surprise, after it booted up now I have the dreaded AT&T next to the time on my status bar. Is there any way to remove it?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Gold Tech Xpert:
Hide carrier name though Developer options

There is one way but you will have Developer options enabled, so from the Developer Options scroll down till you find Demo Mode click on it and then click on enable Demo mode, and then click on show demo mode to turn it on and click on show Demo mode again to turn it off, and then you won't see the carrier name next to the time anymore

(Please note that doing this will hide your notifications in the status bar, you will only see your notifications when you pull down from the status bar on of the top of the phone.)

That is sad.

But it's looks great anyway.
[Android Apps and Games] yogi.306:
Thank you.

as we stated in OP, for overriding volume keys, we have to write custom accessibility service and accessibility service going to be deprecated in future version of Android. and it also gives problem in some devices, hence we have added Gesture option so Knob Volume slider is just a one swipe away.

Yep. After update found it. But the volume keys just shows the program pop-up window and not changing the volume. ☹️
[Android Apps and Games] yogi.306:
Thank you for confirmation, about changing volume, you have to use knob, overriding volume keys and changing volume on press gives trouble and flickers hence we left it to user to change it once user sees knob window.
[Android Apps and Games] Oblias:
I got the app off the play store today, and installed it on my OnePlus 5 running Oxygen OS 9.0.10 . Love the concept, and the execution, but after about 30 minutes, it would randomly wake my screen from a sleep state. At first, I though it might be something else, so I shut off my display, but again about 30 minutes later, my screen was back on. That has NEVER happened before. So, I uninstalled your program almost 2 hours ago, and my phone has not turned it's self back on since.

Any idea what could be causing your app to turn on my display? I'd really like to use it!
[Android Apps and Games] yogi.306:
Hello, Thank you for reporting this, we are checking on this and will update you as soon as possible.

its not with all phones, its only with particular phones models. and we are looking into this, soon update.

thank you for your patience.
[Android Apps and Games] Oblias:
OK, thanks. Let me know when the update is out, will you? I appreciate it!
[Android Apps and Games] yogi.306:
We found the issue, and we fixed it, the latest version 1.12 released , its on playstore,

may be take some time to appear on your playstore.

please update once you see version 1.12

the issue is fixed. we were checking and creating gesture control for every 2 hour interval, as some android system kills the app. but now we removed that logic, the interval is now set to a day, that is 24 hrs and on phone restart.
[Android Apps and Games] Oblias:
Great, good to hear. I'll post back with my results as soon as the new version is available on the play store and I test it out.
[Android Apps and Games] yogi.306:
thank you, the latest version is 1.14
[Android Apps and Games] Oblias:
Got it installed, and now I'll see what happens over the next couple of hours. I'll update the with results then.
[Android Apps and Games] Oblias:
Hours later, and it has not turned on my display. I believe you have fixed the problem. But one last thing, just so I understand what's going on. You say that, if I don't reboot my phone at least once every 24 hours, that Knobby will wake my phone, doing some kind of gesture check for itself? Do I understand that correctly?
[Android Apps and Games] Oblias:
UPDATE: Well, now it's not surviving a reboot. It works fine right after installation, but after I reboot, the location indicator does not show up on my display, and running the app itself doesn't get it back either. The gesture does not activate it after reboot either. The only way to get it working again is to uninstall, then reinstall. But it does the same thing then, good until the first reboot.
[Android Apps and Games] yogi.306:
We changed the interval time from every 1 hr to 24 hrs, the rest should work as it is.

please check gesture setting and check whether its enabled or not ?

it works flawlessly for our test devices. we need your help to reproduce and find the cause.

[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] chris191:
Hi guys, did anyone had problems with mi9. problems = it doesn't charge or boot anymore. it's kinda dead

It happened a couple of weeks ago. at some moment I could start it by long-pressing the power button and I could use it for about a week. In this period the phone suddenly shuts off every day or so but I could start it again after a few hours, charge it and so on. The battery seems to drain a little during this period but nothing major.(eg.phone shuts off with 90% and after 2 hours when I start it again it had 78%). Regarding the shutting down problem, it didn't happened when the phone was used heavily like playing games(actually I didn't play games at all) but in regular user mode like browsing a site, scrolling on Facebook and so on.

A few days ago the phone went off again but this time I couldn't start it anymore and it doesn't charge anymore. Tried to long-press power button, power + volume buttons, power + vol down/vol up. The phone's kinda dead.

I bought the phone from China(aliexpress) and it's still in warranty. However, it will take a while(probably 2-3 months until I will receive it back) and kinda costly to ship it back in China from Europe.

I had the developer rom on this since day 2(April) and didn't installed 3rd party firmware, like xiaomi.eu or others.

Don't know if it's battery-related or it has to do with some other hardware problem.

Now I'm thinking whether to send it back or to open it myself, try to clean it or to replace the battery(I will need to order a battery from aliexpress since I couldn't find any in my country) or go to a local service so they can check it out. In both cases, I will surely lose the warranty.

Anyways, anyone had a similar problem with their Mi 9? Any advice?

Thanks

[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] filipe1:
Hello,

If you bought it from Aliexpress, you have a one year warranty with Allianz Global Assistance . You can therefore open a claim.

They will send you a prepaid label to send it to a local repair center in your country.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] juanpard:
Hi, I have the exact same issue. Did you manage to fix it?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] chris191:
No, I didn't. I assumed is battery fault and I ordered a battery from aliexpress back in January before going with the phone to a service. That battery never arrived lol.

Therefore I will probably go with the phone to a service as it is. But that will happen after covid
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] Qidamin:
I have the same issue but I have soaked my phone under water. So I think I also need a new battery, as I have opened the phone and it doesn't seem there is any kind of corrosion. I have seen there are batteries with bigger capacity, I wonderbif it is safe or not!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] lusp00ky:
I have the same exact issue. I sent it to service repair and they just sent me a quote: just formatting the phone. I'm challenging them because formatting means software, and I'm pretty sure if the phones does not turn on with multiple different button press and combinations, it's not software...
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] TerryChung2001:
Did u found the solution? Is the battery problem?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] chris191:
It doesn't have anything to do with the battery. I went with the phone at two repair shops and they both said the motherboard or cpu is broken.

A reballing could be a solution but they don't have tools for that

Finally, I sent the phone back to China for warranty and now I'm waiting since it will take about 2 months lol.

I have had the exact same problem. I have had the phone just less than a year. It just out of the blue turned off. Then this kept happening. It was then fine when I was playing music on it for a couple of hours. Then it was fine when I was charging it overnight and for most of the next day. Then it kept turning off again. Was able to turn it on again most of the times by holding down the power button for a few seconds, but now it will not turn on no matter what I do. There is no indication that it is charging.

I came across this phone today at one of the auctions I go to so I bought it (for a low price) It does not have a battery (I am buying one right now) I thought it was an XDA atom but it is the XDA flame (O2)

When you plug it in with no battery it lights up and shows the following info at the bottom of the screen:

arima SP3600 eboot vo .9(c)501

It has that in a white bar at the bottom of the screen (the background wallpaper is a nice blue/green/purple pattern)

As soon as it shows this info the screen goes black (the device is still turned on) and when I press on the power button it shows back up then disappears again. does it just need a rom flashed onto it?

Thanks
[General Topics] Jadel:
I don't own a flame, but I do own a HTC Himalaya, and yes when it just shows the boot screen it means it MAY need a new Rom flashed on it.

Alternatively, sometimes you can just press the reset button (assuming it has one) and it should load back into the rom.

If it doesn't load into the rom after that, I guess the person who owned it before you may have made a failed update.

I would obviously try the reset button first.

Also, you may want to specifically ask in the Flame forum, as they can tell you SPECIFICALLY what is going on and what to do.

Cheers.

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] olimar7184:
So I have a OnePlus 3 since it was released and my power button started not working properly about a year ago.

And today I found out that the power button was not working at all anymore no matter how hard I pressed.

At first it was clicking twice instead of once (shortcut to open the camera), or I had to press it very hard to make it work.

I found some workarounds (double tap to wake, double tap to lock, etc).

So when the device is powered on, it's fine I can do everything I need.

The problem is when I need to poweroff the device (changing sim card) or when it runs out of battery.

On some other threads people say to hold the volume down button and to plug the phone to a computer.

But it doesn't work for me, when I do that the device goes to the bootlogo (before the romlogo) and is stuck there.

Any help or idea appreciated.

Also I am not willing to change the power button because it seems hard to take apart the device according to this tutorial : https://fr.ifixit.com/Tutoriel/OnePlus+3+Power+and+Volume+Button+Assembly+Replacement/76019

I am on Lineage16 if that can help.
