Hello everybody

I registered in this forum because I have a problem with my Archos 50F Helium with Android 6.0. The device worked flawlessly until this afternoon. I then switched it off normally because there was no reception where I was and I wanted to save the battery.

In the evening I wanted to switch the device on, but it stuck with the Archos boot logo. And it starts over again and again or just gets stuck on the logo. I also can't get into recovery mode with the key combination "Volume + and Pwr"

What else can I do?

I depend on the device, its data, etc.

As info: a friend of mine has the same phone and it still works.

Maybe files are needed from there to help?

So I'm happy for any help!

Cheers from Switzerland

Hello,

I have the Pico G2 4ks headset and it's great for my purposes (demostrations & tradeshows in kiosk mode for my apps) but they don't install the Google Store on it. I'd like to figure out how to do it. I installed the components that I could find, but Play Store just crashes on opening.

Order of installation

From this article on Android Police (written for the Fire Tablet, but the concept should be similar) it sounds like I need to install 4 apks in this specific order:

Google Account Manager

Google Services Manager

Google Play Services

Google Play Store

Headset info

The G2 4KS headset runs Android 8.1.0

I don't have much experience with this so I tried to find APK's which covered Android 8.1.0. The account manager was the only one that looked old, but worked required for the Fire Tablet article.

APK's installed

1) Google Account Manager

• Source: APK Mirror

• Version: Google Account Manager 7.1.2 (Android 6.0+)

• Min: Android 6.0 (Marshmallow, API 23)

• Target: Android 6.0 (Marshmallow, API 23)

• nodpi

2) Google Services Framework

• Source: APK Mirror

• Version: Google Services Framework 8.1.0-5280163 (Android 8.1+)

• Min: Android 8.1 (Oreo, API 27)

• Target: Android 8.1 (Oreo, API 27)

• Nodpi

3) Google Play Services

• Source: APK Mirror

• Version: Google Play services 20.47.13 (040300-344095733) (040300)

• Min: Android 6.0 (Marshmallow, API 23)

• Target: Android 11 (API 30)

• nodpi

4) Google Play Store

Doesn't matter so much which version

• Source: APK Mirror

• Version: Google Play Store 23.2.11-16 [0] [PR] 347100967 (nodpi) (Android 4.1+)

• Min: Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean, API 16)

• Target: Android 10 (Q, API 29)

• nodpi

Does anyone some experience with getting the Play Store installed or can point anything obvious I'm doing wrong?

Thank you,

mb

Edit: Can a mod move this to Q&A? I noted the sticky after posting - sorry.

[General Topics] blackhawk:
Do you really want that Google crapware on your device? All are known trouble makers and spyware.

Try this instead:

Use another Android device that has Playstore etc to install the apps you want then copy them with ApkExport, then transfer the copies to the other device and install.
[General Topics] Webmedic:
Where can I find ApkExport and do I need to install that on both an Android device then also on the Amazon Fire device to get the files to the Fire device ?
[General Topics] blackhawk:
You just need it to make an installable copy of the app on the connected device. Then simply transfer that copy, and then punch it to install, it's easy🙂

I've used it like that going from my S4+ (Kitkat) to my Note 10+ (Pie) without issues.

You can make backup copies of all your apps even system updates so you don't need Playstore at all for reloads. I have about 18 gb of backed up apps/versions.

APK Export (Backup & Share) - Apps on Google Play

Manage and extract your apps.

[General Topics] gameve6852:
hahaha!!! How did you remove Google PlayStore from your phone???
[General Topics] blackhawk:
Simply package block it. I can turn it on when I want too. I don't use it for weeks at a time; now it's not running in the background wasting resources or collecting data.

Disabling Google Play Services will also disable Playstore but maybe not fully. Never tested that.

[General Questions and Answers] baconhealsall:
Is there an Android equivalent to the "Emergency Bypass" options in iOS?

I thoroughly dislike iOS, but there is one, really important feature [important to me] that iOS has that is forcing me to stick with my iPhone, over my, otherwise, superior Android phone.

My problem is this:

I have a few contacts that need to be able to get through do no disturb mode when using text/SMS. But the same contacts also use WhatsApp and Telegram for 'casual' messages.

This works great in iOS, as I can enable the "emergency bypass" option under the specific contacts. This means I won't be able to hear their Whatsapp and Telegram messages (we have an agreement about keeping casual/fun/chit chat to those IM apps, whilst keeping the serious and important stuff to SMS (mostly work related)).

I can sleep soundly, and wake up to a bunch of silly memes from my colleagues on WhatsApp and Telegram. But if something more important pops up, they know to send me an SMS, which I will hear as it bypasses the DND mode on my iPhone.

Now, on Android this is a problem, because it seems that Android 10, at least, treats *all* messanging services equally under DND mode. This means, I get woken up at 3am because my co-worker thinks I need to see the latest Trump meme etc. on WhatsApp/Telegram. Big problem. Because if I then mute the messaging services in DND, I also mute SMS, which is bad because I potentially am missing vital messages.

Is there any way to get around this on Android? Does Android 11 allow you to differentiate between SMS and other instant messengers in DND mode? Is there an app that can be used as a work-around?

Merry Christmas, folks.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] Youdoofus:
Ive had my S20 FE for about 2 and a half months now and the battery has been sufficient for my usage, in the last 2 days however, it has just been dropping like mad. Facebook was the largest batty consumer at 18%, but that didnt seem out of the ordinary in comparison to the other times ive looked at my battery management. I just turned it off for about 30 min or so and charged it with it off until around 70%

Not sure if this was a one off weirdness type of thing or not, but symptoms like these dont usually bode well. Anyone else run into this yet?

I'm currently stuck on the SPL/bootloader/tri-color screen on my ATT Tilt. I've read the threads and postings on how to recover, but I do not see a situation like mine.

I've been using Dutty's WM6.1 Hybrid v2 5.2.19716/5.2.19700 about 4 months now since May 07. It's been working just fine, but up until a couple of days ago the phone does not power up when pressing the power button. I have to connect it to a power source, then the phone will power up to the SPL. I HardSPL'd originally and then flashed with Dutty's ROM. I have no explanation why it is stuck in SPL.

I tried to re-flash Dutty's ROM. it goes to 100% and the flash app tells me it's finished. I try to restart the Tilt, but same old SPL screen. Should I try to flash OEM ROM?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Vampire2800:
It would appear to me that ANY ROM is better than no ROM. Try another ROM, then if you like Dutty's, flash Dutty's after you get the phone working with the new ROM. It's what I would do. BTW, this really should be put in Dutty's Thread with the ROM you're referring to.

I did not face this after I turned off the power saving mode.

It could be due to an app that might be having compatibility issue with the phone. Are you using the Indian version bought in Big Billion Days of Flipkart sale?

It's got nothing to do with wifi hotspot, I tried resetting the device doesn't help, looks like they sold us international variant which has issue with indian bands, please help me with any solution that worked, going to service center is my last option.Since everything else runs perfectly ,expect for this random switch off without any warning I simply don't want to take it to service center.

I found some trial and error method and it gets solved for me. Just try my idea and it will be great if it works.

I really liked the phone. It was all good except this automatic random restart and many techies said it is an App compatibility issue. So I haven't trusted service center in this case.

I tried uninstalling all 3rd party apps and tried installing one after the other in every 2 days.

I use firefox with multiple addons. I'm sure it made problem and I uninstalled Firefox.

I were using a podcast apps like Pocket casts and google podcast and found that playing podcast content made issue and uninstalled them too. Now my phone works fine.

After 2 weeks of usual activity I installed Pocket casts and fortunately I never had this issue.

Visited the nearest service centre and they have replaced the PCB , Battery and display(the display had a dead pixel , and its got 6 month free replacement, so i asked them to replace that too).
