[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Carch921:
I need help identifying what app or setting got me into this mess.

I think the hacker has adb access.

He shuts down apps.. etc

He is messing with the notifications.. i get ony a few. Sometimes they come in late.

I have made reset from samsung setting and the boot menu, AND I INSTALLED A NEW ROM (the one for my phone) WITH ODIN. Still the issue resurfaces.

I think my roomate installed smthg in it. He is on the house wifi and he is got a degree in networking (i think thats what it's called, we study in french in my country)

Please i need help.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Carch921:
If someone needs any further details, please ask.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] cfds:
Avoid the wifi network you suspect your hacker friend is on, reinstall the rom downloaded on another network and stay on 4G and see if it still happens? Also suspect your PC to be hacked...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Carch921:
Thx for replying,

I did format my pc but i have connected it to house wifi.. didn't notice anything out of order though.

I found out about the "Revoke USB debugging authorisations" option in Developer Options. I think it is working.

Today, since i made a new instagram account, i added a mutual friend. Turns out it was an old and lost account, and thats when i got the error from the video.

Fortunately, i fixed it by un.following the account and clearing the app storage.

I need to know what access does he have?

Look no further than yourself for the cause of this... one way or another.

RX: Factory reset, change Google account password.

Stop with the social media crap and go mingle with real people.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Carch921:
This not about social media, it's about getting my phone back.

With my old account, I couldn't even talk to my messenger friend. Today, thats like having your phone number unreachable all the time, frustrating.

Please if you don't want to help don't, but no need for quick unhelpful replies.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
How was it compromised?

Understand if it was compromised it's more than likely because you left yourself vulnerable to attack.

A compromised OS needs to be cleaned or wiped... I gave you the solution(s).

No need to say thanks but don't give me lip about your screw ups.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Carch921:
Thank you.

I tried factory reset more than 10 times, different ways. No luck.

I think he is got access to one of my friends account but i don't know how he is using this connection with me ( message, notification.. i don't know)

@blackhawk what you said is true, and i didn't mean no offense.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Reflash the firmware especially if it is Oreo or below.

If it's not embedded in the firmware, it's being added by you albeit inadvertently.

Your Achilles heel is social media... don't be so predictable. Break the link in the chain.

None of the social apps should be running on the device, they are malware. At least keep them in the cloud.

Email must always be kept in the cloud and any attachments downloaded from it scruntinized or preferably not downloaded at all. All downloads are suspect.

At this point your data base is suspect as well.

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over, expecting a different result.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Carch921:
Android 11.

I am trying.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Unless someone physically got their hands on it, there's no known way the Android 11 stock factory image can be compromised by a rootkit or virus. A factory reset is all that is needed.

The problem happened after the reset.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Carch921:
That is exactly what i suspect did happen. I often leave my phone home and my pattern is known for him.

How can i undo a modification of that level.

(I intend to go to a phone repair shop and install new soft with the "box". Is this recommended or is it a bad idea)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Never leave a phone physically unsecured as that's the only real security there is.

You need to have the firmware reflashed then be careful what you put back on it.

Change all your passwords and use secure passwords.

[Moto G Power Questions & Answers] Gordster:
How often do the security patches come out for Android 11 on Moto G Power 2020 and when will they stop updating security for this phone? I'm still on April1, 2021 patch in Canada. Google brings out patches on a monthly basis. Why doesn't Motorola do the same?
[Moto G Power Questions & Answers] hawkwind212:
I just received June 2021 security patch 7/8/2021, so for my device it appeared to be a month behind the date name. My device is unlocked Moto G power 2020 bought on Amazon, and my carrier is MetrobyTMobile. It appears where you get your device from makes a different on when you will get the OTA updates. It seems ones from the Trac phone get the updates fastes, almost as soon as they come out, and Google carrier is the slowest, have they gotten Android 11 yet?

Greetings!!

Thanks for reading this.

I have a G4 universal and am trying to cook my own ROM with flashdisk.

Have searched a lot and tried with all available kitchens but none of them could handle flashdisk based ROMs. The publicly available universal kitchens do not seem to handle flashdisk and they are leaving it behind in the new ROM :(

May I request you to share or point me to some material or tools that will help understand how to create a flash disk and include in ROM and successfully cook that?

Many thanks

My gps has been working fine all the time i have had my diamond and worked even better since the orange update a few weeks ago. But yesterday in tom tom and google maps my hardware is not detected.

Hi,

it happened exactly the same situation to me then i installed HTC GPS TOOL (i found it on XDA but now i don't remember in which post, just use search) that i run before launching tomtom.

Hope it helps.

Panco
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] swiftkill3r:
what settings do i need to use on there as i cant get it to connect on any port?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] cozzykim:
I have the HTC GPS Tool, on my Ignito the port is COM4 and it will connect at any baud rate.

I suggest you set the tool to - COM port: COM4 - Baudrate:38400 - Set the drop down box to 'Cold Start'

There is a label that says 'Open' , Click on it and it should change to 'Close' and you should start receiving data in the output window.

Check the drop down is set to 'Cold Start' and click on 'Nav Init' to reboot the GPS hardware.

If you are seeing any data in the O/P window then the GPS hardware is recognized and working.

HTH

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] swiftkill3r:
just tried those settings but get " open com port failed" message.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] cozzykim:
Oops! Then it sounds like an OS problem or a hardware fault although that's pretty unlikely.

Unless anyone else has a better idea then maybe you need a hard reset?

If it's a WM problem then a reset will cure it

You can reset and leave the Internal Storage data intact, but you'll lose all your installed apps and data on the device of course, so backup (you probably know all this already:) )

EDIT: Just checking - you didn't change the com port accidentally somewhere did you ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] swiftkill3r:
windows settings are set to com 4, none and baud to 4800 as i have seen on other posts but still no joy.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] swiftkill3r:
i cant even seem to do a hard reset as everytime i try as soon as i touch the red reset button the phone soft resets and doesnt come up with the hard reset menu. I am holiding volume down and enter quite firmly.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] cozzykim:
You can also hard reset from >Start>Settings>System>Clear Storage with the option to leave the Internal Storage drive untouched

[Windows 11] meowHelpMeRoot:
I'd like to know if there are any dangers in switching from Master Boot Record to GPT, what are the precautions I should take and if it is safe to switch to GPT with legacy bios?

thing i forgot to mention: i'm thinking of switching with mbr2gpt built into windows
[Windows 11] mrm1:
I have done it on a couple of machines without any issue, however you do need to make sure your bios has uefi support. After the change to gpt, you will need to enable uefi in the bios, else Windows will no longer boot.
[Windows 11] zbaracki:
had a lot of issues when using 3rd party tools, but with mbr2gpt went smoothly for me without any issues, even forced from within windows running from the drive.
[Windows 11] 072648:
I have an older used Dell Latitude E7450 laptop on Windows 10 customized to my needs. It has a regular Bios and the disk is MBR. There are 3 partitions:

C: system primary

Extended partition:

D: apps (logical drive)

E: data (logical drive)

I have acquired another E7450 w. Win10 to hold in reserve in case the current one fails, that I intend to keep in sync so that in any emergency I can switch immediately.

It has a UEFI Bios and the disk is GPT.

C: system primary

D: free primary

E: free primary

What I want to do is replicate the disk of the old on the disk in new:

1. Restore the old system partition of the old laptop from backup over the one on the new;

2. Copy the content of D: and E: on the old onto the free partitions on the new.

What I dk is the MBR/GPT conversion. Step 1 restores a MBR partition to a GPT

disk-- what is the effect of that? Will the restored partition boot? Do I have

to convert the disk to GPT after the restore for it to boot? Is the conversion done from within

Windows,, which requires the restored partition to boot before the conversion?

Any advice on how to do this will be appreciated.
[Windows 11] 072648:
Thank you.

Turns out that if I backup the source disk and restore it to the target disk, it wipes out the GPT disk and creates a MBR disk just like the source, so reformatting the disk is sort of builtin.

I have the option to "RESTORE AS GPT" but I dk what the advantage is beyond 2TB partitions, which I don't need.

The source disk has an extended partition with 2 logical drives and if I am not mistaken GPT does not support them and I doubt the restoring program converts them to two primary partitions.

[Mice] XDARoni:
I bought the Razer Mamba Wireless, in an attempt to switch to a wireless mouse and free up space on my desktop. This mouse is terrible. The first thing I noticed was the battery does not last longer than a day, maybe a day and a half. This results in me having to keep the charging cable nearby, completely voiding the point of having a wireless mouse. I find myself plugging it in to charge it, every time I step away from my computer.

The next problem is the battery and RGB features. In order to see the battery percentage on your mouse, you have to sign up for an account with Razer and install their terrible software. Their software prevents my computer from sleeping properly, so I always have to make sure I close out of it, after checking my battery level. Any RGB features also require an account to be able to control them.

This mouse feels very cheap for the price. It's a $50 mouse, but I spent $100 back when it was new. Feels like it's made out of potato chips. I'm very confident I could crush this mouse in one hand.

I would not recommend this mouse to anyone. You'll find better quality in those little $10 mice they sell for laptops.
[Mice] Austinredstoner:
Did u got refund at least
[Mice] svetius:
The gold standard in mice is the MX Master. Just get that and you don't need to be so fancy. :)
[Mice] NippleSauce:
I personally don't think there is a gold standard at the moment as we're going through a period of time where mouse technology is going through a rebirth lol.

The wired Razer Viper happens to support up to an 8000hz polling rate! All mice before that capped out at 1000hz (or lower)! But with higher display resolutions and refresh rates, even the 1000hz mice are starting to cause some input lag and mouse tracking inaccuracy.

So sure, if you're just using the computer for work this isn't really a big deal. But if you move your mouse around a lot (and quickly- which always happens during gaming), this is a very noticeable problem if you have the right hardware to run into the issue (the right hardware being anything manufactured within the last 4-5 years). So moving forward, this problem will only get worse if the mouse feature development (and Windows USB prioritization) isn't optimized moving forward.

So IMO, any mice with a higher polling rate would be the best type to acquire right now (granted, it'd only be important if you use higher mouse sensitivities, use a 2k resolution display with high refresh rate or play games) as it'll be slightly future-proofed =P.
[Mice] blackhawk:
My favorite is still the Logitech Trackman Marble Trackball Mouse. Ergonomic, fast, good switches, long lived and sits still.

Hardwired is still the best.

Probably some limitation of the phone. Even when I try to map it with tasker logcat event I cannot find the corresponding value. No keyevent as in the other keys. Also, it only triggers the assistant on the release, not upon pressing it (I have tested that assigning a beep with tasker). If the developer has any hints I am willing to try.

Welcome to XDA🤗

Not that I know of... it's annoying.

You can use Galaxy Labs Battery Tracker instead though. It allows you to view specific user selected time periods.
[General Questions and Answers] Mohamedkam000:
From my experience, I don't think that's true, phones I use usually stays a year before I notice that it is losing some capacity.

Anyway, there's no direct way to do what you want without root, to reset battery stats, you need to remove /data/system/batterystats.bin, which you usually don't have enough permissions to do so.

What you're looking for is a charge limit (e.g. stop charging at a certain percentage) which is not possible without rooting.
