[General Questions and Answers] Solimann:
Hello everyone,

1. I would like to know if a hacker got my cell phone information such as the IMEI or the serial number and my dialing number (i.e number that people dial to call me), is it enough for him to spy/hack my phone? Can he just use any of these information separately or all combined and starts hacking my phone?

Or does he need to interact with my phone by any means such as sending me fake/virused link and once i press this link i get hacked?

2. What about the company that provides me the sim card, telecommunication and internet service? I guess they (employees) already know the websites i visit for example, but could they know that I'm the one who posted this thread for example? If yes, how about information such as creating a facebook account or writing specific comments on a youtube vedio or buying a product from Amazon using Amazon app (not the regular browser), could they possibly know these information as long as they work at the company and therefore have access to my internet history?

3. How about Whatsapp conversations and emails? Are they really encrypted and secure? How about if yes they are secure, but can the hacker literally see what is going on my screen and even record it? I mean he cannot access my email inbox and compose emails instead of me but he can still read my emails and conversions as long as he got access to view my screen, i.e whatever going on my screen can see it?

4. If it is enough for the hacker to get my device IMEI & serial number & my dialing number, then I guess no need to format my device, right?

5. Does it differ for the telecommunication company or the hacker if device is android, windows or apple? I mean is iphone more secure than Samsung for example?

Someone would ask how possibly could a hacker know these info in the first place? Well, most devices have their own IMEI & Serial number listed on their backsides and even printed clearly on the box that came with.

So, let's suppose that this hacker knows you personally or he acted as if wants to make a phone call because he's out of credits and he captured the backside of your device which has these info, etc etc etc.

Sorry if i made my question this long, but i hoped i could make it as very clear as possible.

Thanks a lot.
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
Hacking a phone requires it's Android is rooted and/or it's bootloader is unlocked and/or ADB is enabled.

Knowing the IMEI, SN & dialing number aren't useful for a hacker in this context, but phone's IP-address may be so he/she can access the phone wirelessly.
[General Questions and Answers] Solimann:
Thanks a lot for your reply.

I heard these terms before, "rooted" and "bootloader is unlocked" and "ADB is enabled" ... and i believe the hacker then should has the phone physically and make these options himself coz brand new phones don't come with these status when they are manufactured, right?

I mean it could be only done to used phones as long as i don't know if they are rooted, bootloader is unlocked, ABD is enabled, and cannot be done to new phones, right?

How about the telecommunication company that provides me with Internet service, can they know any username i created for facebook or email, comments i typed on YouTube videos, products i bought over different apps because they can log to my internet history?

And in general, if the hacker could already hack my phone, can he records what is going on my screen , or it is a matter of just reaching passwords & files and can only deal with them as copy paste delete options?

Thanks again.

[General Topics] Dirtdawg57:
Hey I made a petition asking Samsung to add back the SD card slot, at least in the ultra line.

If you like SD card slots and would like to see them again, consider supporting it so Samsung see's there is still interest.

If you don't like SD slots, or don't care about them, don't waste energy arguing about it, just don't sign it.

Here is the link, https://chng.it/6wjJMQDvgm or search for it on change.org.

Thanks either way!
[General Topics] blackhawk:
No SD card slot, no sale.

Between Samsung's and Android 11/12's weak offerings I bought my second new N10+, a reliable and proven workhorse.

If Samsung doesn't listen, it will cost them sales.

I'm good for another 2-4 years if I want...

Personally I could use two or three 1tb slots plus a sim card slot. My current database is 2 tb.

Samsung is going backwards.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hacksome:
On Sony Ericsson and Nokia phones we can use the methods like System.getProperty("com.sonyericsson.net.mcc"); to find the Cell Tower ID (CellID).

How can we gather similar information on a Windows Mobile 6.1 phone using Intent/J9/JBlend VMs?

[Android Auto General] EngineerMind:
And if so, will it interfere with my phone's hotspot?

I need to use my phone's hotspot to provide internet access to devices in my car.

If "wireless" AA uses wifi, can it and my hotspot run at the same time?
[Android Auto General] brick00444:
If I'm not mistaken it works with bluetooth not wifi
[Android Auto General] seburton:
Android auto works with both wifi and Bluetooth.

Wifi must be used to transfert image and audio to the car as Bluetooth doesn't have enough bandspace.

Don't know how Bluetooth is used. Maybe Bluetooth is used only to track is Android auto is usable or not.

So it may be problematic with hotspot.
[Android Auto General] brick00444:
I stand corrected.
[Android Auto General] SOFO888:
Bluetooth is used for voice (calls and media).

Wifi is used for the rest (data/video, input and output).
[Android Auto General] seburton:
Not exactly.

Bluetooth is used for calls yes, but media is sent to wifi.

It's impossible to have this sound quality with Bluetooth.
[Android Auto General] bmszabo:
A bit off-topic, but maybe somebody can help me:

in my aftermarket Android Auto set-up the head unit has NO microphone input. Phone calls are handled by the built-in car BT-phone (works fine!), but voice connection drops during every phone call once or twice as the phone call's BT connection goes over to the Android heads BT connection.

My question is: is there a way to FORCE phone calls initiated from Android Auto to use the cars built-in BT phone connection instead of the Android Auto BT voice connection to prevent dropping the voice connection duiring phone calls?

It is an annoyance -but a nagging.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Parg:
Hey guys,

I fell in love with the TouchFlo 2D but unfortunately it doesn't work right on a german ROM.

In the three weeks, many ROMs with TF2D includet have been released - but I totally lost the overview. So I need your help, the make a decision for my new ROM.

I'm going to list the things, that ROM should do. If you know a ROM, that matches my conditions, I would be so glad if you could simply post it here.

- TF2D should work completly

- The 20 Key version have to be working

- When the Audi Manager plays music an I press the power button, it HAVE TO keep playing the music

- Please no S2U2 includet

- As fast as possible (It don't need to have much software - I can install the stuff I need by myself)

-It should be stable

So guys - I hope someone is in the knowledge of a ROM like discribed and I would be sooo glad if you could help me.

Greets,

Parg

Hi

New member here, so the problem is

1. Phone is stuck on - Powered by Android screen and automatically gets shut down or sometime need to remove battery to turn it off.

2 By Pressing volume down + power button = Phone enters in recovery mode which look like the photo I am attaching here.

View attachment 5457411

In the above picture you can see the E:failed to mount / cache

E: can't open/ cache

E: can't mount /cache

Errors I am having in recovery mode.

Some says it's emmc chip failure but I read a forum here ( that's for other phone ); in that post someone posted exactly the same errors and he managed to fix the issues. I will post the link of that forum if I found it.

HOW IT HAPPENED

Phone was on charging and I pulled out the charging cable and turned it on and after powered by Android screen this recovery screen appeared out of nowhere. It was on charging overnight.

BY FAR WHAT I HAVE PERFORMED

1. I did wipe cache partition first. - no use

2 Then I downloaded the firmware (2 firmwares) and Qualcomm usb qloader 9008 drivers and qpst and qpil, after that I copied the firmware zip files in phone's sd card and tried " support from SD card" option in " recovery mode ", didnt work, stopped automatically, it was so quick that I couldn't read the errors.

3 Now I tried wipe data/ factory reset - nothing happened, the process started and stopped automatically.

4 I tried to flash rom on it, ERROR - download fail sahara fail, sahara server fail. Every single time, I changed the versions of flash tool usb drivers, old versions, latest versions, my laptop is flooded with unnecessary versions, it drive looks pretty messed up right now. Zip files and extracted files everywhere.

5 at this point I tried adb and fastboot, adb devices command shows my device name successfully but after that no command works, sometimes it showed failed or sometimes - waiting for device.

EXTRA- I don't know if the bootloader is unlocked or locked or usb debugging is on/off.

I WAS HOPING FOR GENUINE HELP FROM ANYONE OUT THERE, THANKS A TON.

[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] KaixerL:
I am using Poco X3 Pro. Global version. I think I flashed the ROM incorrectly. Resulted in my phone forever in fastboot. Can be detected by PC in the platform-tools CMD, by typing fastboot devices.

However I cannot get into recovery mode by pressing vol up and power buttons. I tried ”fastboot reboot recovery”, my phone reboot into fastboot again.

What should I do now?

Is there a proper guide step by step?

I unlock bootloader and want to install magisk to root my phone as I require root access. However it seemed difficult to me to root the phone.

i got the phone from korea, the problem is when connecting to 4G the phone would lose internet and calls then lose the network, i get a message saying "failed to register to network (15)" but if i forced the phone to connect to 3G then it works fine. here's what i tried to fix the problem :

turning off the mobile network then turning it on

resetting the network settings

removing NR Whitelist

and none of them fixed the issue. there's a korean menu in the service mode, but i didn't miss with it. i have attached screen shots of the software information and the korean menu in the service menu.

Anyone know how to activate the Google Assistant by holding the home button with 3-button navigation. I've been able to do that for years on my Pixel 3, but I can't seem to find that setting on the Pixel 6 Pro.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] cd993:
Not exactly a reply to your question as such, but perhaps you could use the quick tap to launch Google assistant or long press power menu. Whilst not the home button these are the two ways I'm aware of.

If you're rooted there may be another way via Gravitybox but unsure of A12 is supported so the A11 version may not work properly/at all.....
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] EeZeEpEe:
Did your Pixel 3 still have that ability after Android 12? I would guess they took it out with that update since they added holding the power button. There's still the swipe from the bottom corners option too.

Sadly my Pixel 3 got the Black Screen of Death three weeks before Android 12 was release.

Sorry to hear that. So from what I can tell, with 3-buttons, it looks like they want those users to do the hold power button. The corner gesture is only available with system gestures on.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] varxtis:
I pulled out my old Tab A 10.1 (2016) and forget just how ridiculously limited this thing is with space. I did some searching and found out that I should be able to use the "Format as Internal" feature, but the feature is nowhere to be found. The android version is at 8.1 Oreo, so it should at least be capable, but I can't tell why the actual button/feature is missing. Another method I'm seeing is by using ADB from the PC. the idea is fairly straight forward, and yet, not. I opened adb through cmd line. But the next step I'm supposed to do is enter sm list-disks to list my USB connected devices. But when I enter it, nothing happens. The command isn't among the list of commands brought up when you enter adb. So... I have no clue where to go next.

I just want my 256gb micro sd card to become the main/"internal" drive for my galaxy Tab A, so that all updates, apps, images, et, are saved, downloaded and installed on the SD card by default.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Not recommended. It will slow it down and may end up crashing it, losing data in the process.

Use the SD card as the data drive.

Internal memory is for the OS, loaded apps, the temporary download folder. The DCIM folder can go on either drive preferably the data. There can only be ONE DCIM folder on the device!

Always redundantly backup critical data to at least two hdds that are physically and electronically isolated from each other and the PC.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] varxtis:
I appreciate it. I didn't realize it'd affect speed. But ... the issue is that the tablets only has 16gb internal. Half the apps I install cannot by move to SD card. Some streaming apps can while others can't. And before I even know whether or an app can be moved, there isn't enough room to install to internal. Ive search everywhere and can't find anything to install apps from play store directly to SD card. This is a major issue with updates too. I have absolutely no intension of installing games. But the majority of the following apps I do need for business purposes. I need to have social (Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook, Discord, Reddit, and Tik tok) for business purposes, as well as Etsy to shop and maintain my shop. Store apps I frequent for business materials (Amazon, Walmart, Target, Costco, Home Depot, and a few others). Utility apps for notes, docs, and calculating, among other things. Art apps for sketching and designing. And lastly some entertainment apps including Hulu, Vudu, Netflix, Disney+ Amazon Prime, and Kindle.

I know it seems like a lot, but please try not to criticize. I don't think it's too unreasonable being that I have all these apps and much much more just on my phone. I know it's a bit older, but I feel it's odd that my phone can hold this much without hinderance for updates, but a tablet can't.

I do truly appreciate your warning. I really do. But if you know the process (legitimacy), would you allow me to try it and I will take responsibility for the risk knowing full well you warned me? Please? Besides, the SD card was on sell, so it's not a big loss lol.

Take note that apps can only be placed on adopted storage media if the developer has specified support via the android:installLocation attribute.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] varxtis:
As simple as that statement may have been, that went over my head a bit. "developer" being Samsung? How do I confirm this? or are you saying that Samsung does not support it?

And is "adopted storage" the termed used for describing the adb approach?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
The 3rd party app doesn't is what jwoegerbauer

said.

This isn't the device for this job. Repurpose it for something else.

With those kind of apps you better get something with a huge internal memory.

Don't mix business with pleasure on a device; remember what pays the bills.

That said those apps you use for business are an open invitation for malware, phishing, hackers, etc.
