[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidInvestigations:
I have an Allwinner (Winning Deal), 7 inch android tablet, DualCore-A23 'Sherav SRE706', that has a suite of suspicious-looking apps, called, 'softwinner service' app, Google Backup Transport; Settings Storage; Settings; Key Chain; Input Devices; and even 'Android System'.

They all have permissions to "directly call phone numbers"; "% this may cost you money"; and "read phone status and identity".

That seems a bit strange with regard to the 'Settings' app.

The so-called 'softwinner service' app is factory installed and cannot be uninstalled, which are supposed to be the characteristics of android system apps?

Using an app called 'Device Info', one of its tests say that the tablet is rooted, but the tablet was bought new and hasn't been rooted, suggesting that if it is actually rooted that it was rooted before sale, which seems strange.

When it was used with a Google account, before, someone tried to hack into the Google account.

There were quite a lot of third-party apps on the tablet, at that time, which had been installed indiscriminately, without due regard for requested permissions.

So the attempt to hack the Google account could have come from the indiscriminately installed, third-party apps?

On the xda-developers forum, fuzzyriver seems to have a similar problem:

"I recently purchased an A23 powered tablet that had the same issues. I got it off Amazon from a company named deerbrook. Had the same questionable apps that OP mentioned, in addition to adware built in to the stock android firmware. I would love to find a ROM that would work on this tablet and get rid of the spyware. For the $38 I paid on amazon, the hardware is pretty decent but the software makes it unusable for me, since I'm not open to using a device that could be hijacking my wifi network."

(https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60057478&postcount=4)

I don't know anything about rooting or android devices, in general, so not quite sure what to do in order to be able to use the device safely?

very useful article
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] darkmage1975:
Hi all, I need a little help.

I bought this phone last 8th of May. Since then I got a single update through FOTA. I don't remember previous build number, but then I had Android 9, now I have Android 10.

Then, 3/4 days ago I got a notification about a new update (17.0240.2007.27), I tried to download it but I got an error: if I tap "Update now" in just 1 sec I get a message like "Update not successful, the device was restored to original configuration".

So, I wrote to Asus. They asked me for detailed build number:

Kernel version:

4.14.117-perf

android@mcrd1-11#1

Fri Jun 5 11:34:10 CST 2020

Build number:

QKQ1.190825.002.WW_Phone-17.0240.2004.9

Extension ROM:

1.1.184

I sent these infos to Asus and they replied that is obvious I modified the phone and installed a "not original" firmware, as stated by the build number.

But I never installed a custom firmware, I never rooted the phone: this is my work phone, it will be silly.

Could you please tell me how they could say that by the build number or other datas I shared with them?

And what could I say to convince them I never modified anything?

This because they already wrote "we'll open an RMA, you'll ship the phone to us, and we'll reply with a price quotation to repair your phone since it is no longer under warrany since you modified it".

Thank you.

[OPPO Find X2 Pro Questions & Answers] mancuk29:
I was going to move from.iphone to p40 pro however my banks have said they are unlikely to ever support the huawei system so am looking at something different than for example Samsung

I have seen the oppo find x2 pro and the headphones offer is definitely tempting me

I've never had an oppo before what are they like in firmware updates? Do you wait for ever or are they quite prompt for example what month security are you all on??

Also is the camera good (other option is the xperia 1 Mark 2 as I've a massive photographer)

Thanks in advance
[OPPO Find X2 Pro Questions & Answers] kevinireland11:
My find x2 pro has the june security patch but i think other carriers already have the july update and with each security update they always have other things in the updates not just security patches like samsung do, also the camera in my opinion is better than samsung , samsung photos always seem quite grainy and the 120hz + QHD+ run at the same time unlike samsung and 1 billion colour display on the find x2 pro make things looks way smoother in terms of the colour spectrum/range.

Plus this phones charges up from 0 to 100 in like 35 mins.
[OPPO Find X2 Pro Questions & Answers] mancuk29:
Brilliant thank you as long as it's not months behind I'm happy...
[OPPO Find X2 Pro Questions & Answers] TheInfiniteAndroid:
The Find X2 Pro is fairly recent however I'm on the June security patch now which is the latest for my region, July incoming soon I believe.

Additionally this phone outclasses any Samsung on the market & will continue to do so even when the Note 20 comes out next month because Samsung cripple us with their lackluster Exynos chipsets.

Camera quality is amazing, I came from a Note 10+ to the Find X2 Pro and don't regret it whatsoever, the custom built sensor is outstanding and has amazing colour accuracy.

As for the display, 3K, 120hz, HDR certified, with 1 billion colours, & calibrated to perfection by Oppo, even outclassing the likes of the OnePlus 8 Pro.

Need I say more? ;)
[OPPO Find X2 Pro Questions & Answers] kevinireland11:
You made it sound that good i want to buy another one lol
[OPPO Find X2 Pro Questions & Answers] addicted2phones:
Hi I just recently returned the Xperia 1ii and decided to try the Oppo Find X2 Pro

First impressions have been positive. The camera does seem to be better than the Xperia and that is me using the Manuel modes with photo Pro on the Xperia

Screen is just as good and I like what Colour OS has built into its software.

Xperia had issues with video recording as it was causing a hissing sound so it was a big deal breaker.

Enjoying it so far and hope I will continue to do so
[OPPO Find X2 Pro Questions & Answers] mancuk29:
I read a few horror stories about the xperia 1 ii I loved the advance software for camera but rubbish front camera and also issues with software so glad have ordered the oppo one it's landing tomorrow can't wait

[MENTION=447492]mancuk29[/MENTION] bare in mind this could just be select devices, not a widespread issue
[OPPO Find X2 Pro Questions & Answers] sirTAVARES:
from the 100 telegram users that have the phone i'd say 80% have that and the other 20% don't know how to replicate it.

And customer support is the worst i've seen.

everything else is pretty good.

[HTC Excalibur] blackjack2:
Hello guys, I am pretty new to the forum but I have a request that I am willing to pay for if someone can provide me with a lean and light 6.1, I bought Dash from Ebay that came loaded with 6.1 but it came with lots of things in the ROM I do not want and my memory per Celetask oscillates around 9-15 megs sometimes going down to 4. These are the applications and requirements I would need:

1. sync with Exchange 2007

2. be able to use FreeRange RSS

3. have the new version of Google Maps with transit

4. have Window Live Messenger

5. have Live Search but not the rest of the Windows Live

6. have Resco File Manager

7. and the rest of the Windows Mobile 6.1 apps but have to OS modified for maximum efficiency and battery conservation

8. have the Net 2.0 app because I use an app called Smarter Tasks that requires the former

9. have the Tmobile zone button mapped to a nice Task Manager perhaps 3rd party app to handle the closing of apps and other stuff

10. a stable weather app to be used in the panel, I currently using Nrg

If your interested and can help out please let me know I would give anywhere from $25-50 but remember the key word is STABLE.

thanks in advance

[HTC Excalibur] johnambler41577:
I'm not sure about some of the programs but you might be able to do most of this yourself using Rickwyatt's WM6.1 Vanilla Rom and then installing the programs you want
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
i would recommend clicking below in the latest 6.1 and load Ricky's vanilla rom, this rom is fairly naked, meaning there is nothing on the rom...
[HTC Excalibur] Rip Syntaxx:
I'm shocked no one has attempted to take advantage of this deal! lol I have a newfound respect for the gentlemen/ladies of XDA. :D
[HTC Excalibur] johnambler41577:
No he would just have to go to eBay ... I'm sure someone there would try to sell him Rick's Vanilla Rom... Hahaha! :D
[HTC Excalibur] lukybandit:
keep your money because you can do all that by yourself. Trust me, it's easy. Get rid of what you do not want and install "only" applications that you want but before you do that, install Ricky's Vanilla ROM which is basically a ROM with no bells & whistles, which is what your looking for.

If you still have any questions, please feel free to post here. One of us will definitely help you out.
[HTC Excalibur] gixxum:
just download the rom (whatever vanilla rom you want) and then download this guide. it will walk you through the whole process in about 15 minutes.

Guys, I would appreciate if you can direct me to a wiki re: memory management and things like that

Question:

In my Excalibur what's the minimum available ram that is needed to run app, also whenever I can install an app in the Storage is it better, thanks
[HTC Excalibur] kareeem:
You should always install anything that goes on the today screen (or starts-up) on the main memory so that it boots correctly. Each app has a different requirement for RAM memory, but most aren't that much (unless you're talking iGO8).
[HTC Excalibur] blackjack2:
Thanks kareem9nba, how much free memory is cool to have :)
[HTC Excalibur] blackjack2:
Reading another post, I just realized that my current rom, which is somekind of cooked rom launches the HTC screen upon reboot and gives two quick vibrations eventhough my phone has all the Tmobile Dash icons in the back and front, hmm so I'm thinking its already unlocked and I can skip that section of the install the process to Ricky's Vanilla or Kavanas 6.1
[HTC Excalibur] gixxum:
you will most likely need to re-app unlock the phone..it takes like 20 seconds...so just do it to save yourself time..or you could get into the process and get error 270...just run the unlock first...
[HTC Excalibur] blackjack2:
Cool, I'll follow your instructions, no problem, thanks again
[HTC Excalibur] Profezza:
Haha! I'm not alone.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] Niks6164:
Don't call asus and never mail them.The call centres don't know about these problems like system update failed etc.And if u sent ur build no to them and if it does not matches with theirs, they will put ur phone out of warranty.So just directly take it to the service centre or try restoring ur phone.The call centres are a bunch of noobheads.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] darkmage1975:
Thank you, I didn't know that ... BTW it should be a customer service and I coordinate a customer service: I hope my collaborators will not be as those of Asus...
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] Newmidgardian:
Same identical problem. Contacted by email and in the end they told me the same thing, installed non-original software. Obviously I only made updates via FOTA to avoid problems. This thing makes no sense
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] Niks6164:
Just tried installing via the zip file from asus website and it worked.Try that.

Never contact asus regarding updates.My phone has already came from a service center as it was facing random shutdown issues and the screen was turning off at 40 degree C while playing games.They took the phone, flashed the firmware through their so called ENGINEERING MODE and returned it back to me.It was good for some days but the issue has started again now.Turning off while charging when phone gets heated and random shutdown while playing.There are a lot of users with this problems in their zenforuns and asus is not addressing this issue.Its a major device flaw and still they r quiet about this and launching Rog 3.

[Huawei Developers] John Wo:
I want to develop the function of recognizing bank card numbers. The recognition effect of card.io is much better for cards with raised numbers than those without raised numbers. What other open-source projects can be used to recognize bank card numbers? Here I'd like to share with you the bank card recognition service of HUAWEI ML Kit that I once used in one of my projects. It is free of charge. This service can correctly recognize the card numbers and validity periods of popular cards such as JCB, China UnionPay, American Express, Visa, and Mastercard, regardless of whether the card numbers are raised. The size of the SDK is about 3 MB, which is smaller than that of card.io.

The integration procedure is as follows:

Step 1: Set recognition parameters and call the API for recognition.

private void startCaptureActivity(MLBcrCapture.Callback callback) {
MLBcrCaptureConfig config = new MLBcrCaptureConfig.Factory()
// Specify that only the card number and validity period are recognized and returned.
.setResultType(MLBcrCaptureConfig.RESULT_SIMPLE)
// Set the display orientation of the recognition screen to be self-adaptive.
.setOrientation(MLBcrCaptureConfig.ORIENTATION_AUTO)
.create();
MLBcrCapture bankCapture = MLBcrCaptureFactory.getInstance().getBcrCapture(config);
bankCapture.captureFrame(this, callback);
}

Step 2: Obtain the recognition result.

@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
switch (v.getId()) {
case R.id.detect:
startCaptureActivity(callback);
break;
default:
break;
}
}

As shown in the following figure, the recognition speed is fast. The card can be quickly recognized as long as it is in the scanning box, even if the card is not placed in a proper position. This service does not require the user to align the card to the boundaries.

[Moto G7 Power Questions & Answers] Gousch:
I got a few Problems, at first i tried to unlock the bootloader, after a while i got that, bootloader unlocked.

Then i tried to root my Moto G7 Power, with bad results... Tried to install TWRP with the fastboot commands etc. I got into TWRP but couldnt install it permanent, tried it in different ways but nothing worked. After hours of testing my phone decided to stop working and it bricked.

I can get into fastboot mode, but every time ill try to start it the screen with "Your device has been unlocked and can`t be trusted." shows up, then it goes off and the same screen comes back again, tried to get ride of that but with no results.... Can anybody help me with that?

Second thing: How the hell did i install TWRP permanent on my phone??

I had to do the Thing with the img again and again to get in, tried to push the zip to my internal storage and install it from there, the red warning "Failed to mount system root" showed up...

Its my first phone im trying to root since years, and my knowledge and english is pretty bad^^

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] JP_UK:
Hi, I've just got my Diamond, and having been playing about with it this occurred to me.

When you load up say google maps, or the internet browser when a WiFi connection is active, does the diamond automatically use WiFi (at no cost to me) or does it automatically use GPRS/3G (costing me lots!).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Tlogic12:
Hi,

If the Wi-Fi of the device is not powerded on then in that case it will user the EDGE/3G connections for all the internet applications by default. Once the Wi-Fi is powered on and a connection is established with the Wi-Fi router, the Phone will seek the Wi-fi for any internet based application.

/Raj
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Tlogic12:
Wi-Fi connection can give a max of 54 mbps speed but it depends on the bandwidth behind the Wi-Fi link.
