I think mobile computing got a kick in the ass witht he release of the Apple iPhone. Microsoft and Palm beat Apple to the punch but Apple made it a lot easier and more friendly to use. if you would like to comment on any funny, sad, or a review of your device, post them here.

i will get the ball rolling... I own a Windows Mobile 5.0 powered device that i purchased back in december 2007 as a christmas present to myself. i won my device at auction in spite of the condition it was in. the mic is broken so i have to use my bluetooth earpiece to make phone calls. the device itself was in ok shape (i added some more body damage to it. but nothing major). i was always skeptical about smartphones and such. i test drive the iphone and liked it but expensive. the phone i currently use was not expensive at all (again with its defects). i overlooked all those and saw the potential my phone had. it is an ETEN G500 in case any readers were wondering. Being in college, my phone made my life a lot easier and being connected everywhere made me rethink my position and now i am all about my phone. Since it is GPS enabled with one of the best chipsets out on the market (SirfStarIII), i can go anywhere i want. it blew me away after i got it to work with TomTom 6 software. i am late to the game with smartphones and such but i did my thorough research before i made an offer on ebay, where my phone came from. i am glad i never regretted purchasing it at all. having a device that can compete with todays devices made me take even more pride in my phone. i don't care if it is bulkier and heavier. for my phone being relatively old since it is an '05/'06 phone. it is far from being obsolete by my standards. once i get enough money together i will upgrade to a better one, but for now, my phone i konw will last me another few years at least.

one success story i would like to share. i was with a friend and he needed some books to help him with a paper for a class. we were in borders store and he bought the first book ($20) b/c of the amount of info it had. the second book he was gonna buy had some info (a lot nonetheless) that was missing from the first book he bought. So he took my phone and typed all the info he needed in Word Mobile. After he was done, i sent it to him through e-mail on the spot and he was able to retreive it and open the document with no problems at all. i saved him $30 (which what the price of the second book) and helped him get a good grade on his paper.

there you have it. i maybe just obsessive with my phone, but i feel like with situations like this, my phone came in handy. i am a technology fanboy, not a microsoft, and not an apple fanboy. But, having a pocket pc/phone powered by microsoft certainly helps a lot especially in a school setting.

Tell me about your stories!

I use my device as a flashlight almost everyday thanks to VJCandela. It also does everything I need and if it doesn't I just have to install some software and it will. It's highly customizable, allows for countless mods and not anyone has one.

With affordable data plans coming to Canada there will be even more features unlocked on my phone like instant Wikipedia access, on-the-go blogging...

Unlike the almost obsolete PalmOS, Windows Mobile is here to stay.

I feel regret to buy Mate 40 pro with free buds & gt2 pro watch. if they continue this way then I will be thinking to leave Huawei products for ever & start buying Samsung products. stupid way to challenge Google Services without budget.

[General Questions and Answers] Wokoloko:
This is

not

about backing up data on your phone. It is about utilise your (old) smartphone to backup files from

other

devices.

If you use any computer system at home or work - you know, you have to make backups to avoid data losses. Often windows computers are used to backup files from network shares. I am wondering, if my smartphones can do that job too?

I think about the following senario:

When going to bed, I hook my phone up on a powered USB-C hub to charge it.

Instead just sitting around and waiting being charged, it could do something usefull.

One could connect a USB harddrive to the hub and run the backup app atomatically at 3am or so.

After a few hours it should have finished the backup and I got my badly needed sleep. --> Win/Win Situation.

Thats the idea, but even if there are a bunch of apps, that can access network shares (via SMB or FTP), I did not find an app, that can do a file synchronisation or backup job to a USB drive.

I started thinking about creating some TASKER jobs, but I hope, there are already wokring solutions to accomplish the target.

Do you have any suggestions or app recommendations for me? :)
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Get 2 or more enterprise class hdds for backup. Keep them electronically isolated when not in use.

Keep one with your main data base isolated except for updates every 1-12 months in case of malware infections. Best to store in a separate location in an earth grounded metal box.

Stagger the updates between the rest.

You absolutely need to use more than one backup device/copy...
[General Questions and Answers] :
If the phone supports OTG then you can fully backup your phone to USB-drive either from inbuilt File Manager or with USB Backup app. This free-of-charge app requires Android version 5.0 and above.

This app enables you to turn automatic backup on with the help of which whenever you connect the same USB Drive and OTG cable, your device’s backup will begin on its own. You can also set backup reminder to remind you after one month that no backup has made till now.

[General Questions and Answers] kouseralamin:
Sync is not just copying files it is much more than that. Sync usually means you create clone of one particular thing into another computer, while if there is any change in future then the change will be copied and only the changing part will copy not the whole thing. There are very good apps for syncing, by far my favourite one is Syncthing. Because it is full free opensource, works under nat(meaning no need to have fix ip). There is power condition. You can set that up. There is file versioning and option for one-way/two-way sync. You can give it a try. available for multiple platforms.
[General Questions and Answers] Wokoloko:
Thx for the suggestion, @jwoegerbauer. But the idea is not to backup data, that is stored on the phone. It is about having data on a Windows server and backing it up to a USB drive, that is connected to your phone.
[General Questions and Answers] shaqman89:
Try mixplorer. It should be able to achieve that
[General Questions and Answers] Wokoloko:
Syncthing sounded good at first. Although it needs a client to be set up on the source machine (hosting the network share). In my eyes that is a drawback, because it means to set up and install the syncthing on two machines. Especially the installation on the source machine feels unnessessary, because the files

are already accessable

to the backup machine.

Isn´t there any app, that as a backup machine "simply" reaches for the network share and stores the files on a direct connected OTG/USB drive?

[Edit: Typos]
[General Questions and Answers] kouseralamin:
Can you describe the source machine. I mean is it a windows/linux/mac OR another android device OR an ios device? And do you want to backup files to an usb drive/pendrive that is connected to your android device by OTG?

If that is yes. Then you have 3 device.

1. Source machine. ex: windows/mac/linux.

2. Android device that will receive files/pull files from source machine.

3. USB drive connected to android device by otg, where files will be stored.

One thing to note is that source machine needs to give permission to access files to android device(SECURITY REASON). Or needs additional setup to access them. So you need to install additional software. If you are already running a ssh server you may try rsync.

Install ssh-server in source machine and use termux with tasker to sync using rsync. I am not an expert in rsync. you have to do your research for this matter.
[General Questions and Answers] :
@Wokoloko

As with Android fetching file(s) from Windows server can be done by either WGET ( retrieve files via HTTP or FTP ) or CURL ( retrieves files via HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, FTPS ) binary. Both binaries are available in Termux shell.

Simple wget example:

wget -P <ANDROID-USB-DRIVE> <FILE-URL>

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Spartacus500:
Hello to all users of Samsung Galaxy S7 / Edge, stock 8.0 Rom, Custom Pie 9.0 Rom or higher phones, there is a way for the system to see the OEM unlock setting to turned off after each restart, unfortunately there is a certain risk whether the system will get up properly after that and whether it will TWRP work, although TWRP should work. Anyone willing to take the test? I note that there is some risk, so I'm afraid to test my mod myself. I would like to invite those willing to test that I do not incur any consequences due to side effects.

Hi All,

I wonder if any of you , who use stock Oreo 8.0 rooted, have updated Magisk to the latest v22? If you have done so, would you mind sharing how it went?

TIA
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Mohamedkam000:
Most software comes with an event log for each update. This record shows what was changed, deleted, or added, if there was nothing told specifically about your phone, or OS, then it is probably the same as it's former stable version.

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Rootmaster906:
i have a few questions, and it's stumping me bad. i got a pixel sailfish on ebay and its in a bootloop. i have tried flashing factory images, ota's, fastbooting twrp and factory resetting and still...loop. sometimes in twrp it will flash the rom, but will freeze and random reboot. i have tried formatting system, vendor and then flashing factory images and to no avail...bootloop. one time i was able to flash nougat factory, and it actually booted. i went ahead and fastbooted twrp...then bam...bootloop again. i need some help. even when i boot into each slot, there is different baseband versions and bootlooder version on each slot. is this normal? should not both slots have same bootloader and baseband version? could this be my bootloop issue?

to reiterate, when i was able to boot the nougat factory, i had fastboot -w, format system and vendor then flashed the nougat fw and it stuck. now i have nothing. can anyone help?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Rootmaster906:
Here are some pics of bl screens. this is result after formatting userdata and flashing latest stock firmware. android 10.

also noted that sometimes when trying to format system, it says no dtbo img. i notice on fw flash that it says no dtbo.img on the flash.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Rootmaster906:
now when i flash nougat, i get "ramdump writing to ext4 file"

it didnt do this when the same nougat fw was successful
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Tulsadiver:

Sailfish doesn't have a dtbo.img. Just system, system_other, boot, and vendor so don't worry about that.

Hi Guys, Any solution to enable the audio for galaxy buds?

i tried developer options like disable miui optimisation but it does not work.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Try doing a network reset.

[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] Zessak:
I fixed it. It chose the SBC codec by default.. you have to turn on the bluetooth AAC in the bluetooth setting for the pairing
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
They should work with the SBC codec. Depending what the source is on my 10+ it will either use the SBC or SSC codec when set to default.

So there's still an issue... that's strange.

If you had a Samsung device you could use their SSC codec which has superior resolution.

the goal is the same, I think it's easier with qfil partition manager. because the results of extracting the .dz file are in the form of a single image without the lun description as described above.
