i agree, the sidekick aim is way better than any aim for the g1 right now. meebo's most annoying thing is even when you are signed off, it still keeps its icon on the status bar, and i have to restart the phone to get it to go away. all the other aim apps (including the one that came with the phone) only send 1/3 of my messages. wtf?

Try starting with one device and the specific issues. Devices don't go insane...
[General Questions and Answers] r.dunne:
Oh but they do... I have put both the INSANE Samsungs to death and now have a Moto G Stylus 5G 2022. It has behaved for quite some time now but over the past 2 weeks or so, the strange behaviors that plagued my last 4 phones is starting to creep back in. It's the only phone I have now and I have also retired one of the laptops. The remaining laptop has also been ok for awhile and so far hasn't acted up with this latest bout. However my phone is bringing back some horrible memories.

It always seems to start with the touch screen. This Motorola doesn't have a lot of the "advanced" features that the Samsungs did as far as screen settings so I have my fingers crossed that the red and blue circles issue does not happen on it because I believe those circles were part of Samsung specific touch screen security app. But my Moto is developing a mind of it's own with all the other things. It will refuse to respond to things I want it to do when using the touch screen and all of a sudden my "swipe" is out of control with the words and phrases it's coming up with and same with auto correct/spell check. Things that have been working almost flawlessly for months, all of a sudden gone and everything it's inserting in it's place is ridiculously foriegn to my typing style and dictionary. Very bizarre words that I have never typed in place of common words that I type constantly, such as "and, because, even my name!" being replaced with things that aren't even in the same galaxy spelling or placement wise and this is how it always started with the other phones.

Also another behavior that is very similar is the screen will just come on by itself while the phone is at rest on a solid object without anyone near it and will actually start opening apps and I have watched it go so far as to send photos and videos to apps. Other things it will do is open apps while I'm using it. For instance I'll be typing a comment in Facebook and some app, any rea;lly, it seems to be random as it's not always and usually isn't the same app but they will just open while I'm using an app and it's not always Facebook, it can be any app i'm using and another will just open on top of it. Sometimes it's just one but it can be more, 2, 3, 4, etc and sometimes it will just keep going. I can set the phone down while it's doing this and if it decides to keep going it will.

And my battery life goes to hell also when the phone decides to take on a life of it's own whether it's acting crazy or not. This phone has had excellent battery life all along. That is up until a couple of weeks ago when this nightmare has resurfaced... I have co-workers and friends who have witnessed this happening. Now if that's not signs of a phone being insane, I don't know what is, please explain...
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Possible malware. Two different phones seems to point to what the user is doing...

Don't install social media apps, trashware or anything that seems questionable or isn't needed. Access fb and what not by logging on with Brave browser.

Set up NextDNS, it's free.

Try in safe mode.

Consider doing a factory reset then be careful what you load. Change your Google password to a secure one and write it down.
[General Questions and Answers] r.dunne:
OK, thanks. At least I have something to go on now. I'll give your suggestions a shot and see how things go.

Much, but far from all of the issues are keyboard related. I usually use MS Swiftkey because I like the cursor arrow keys and it's the only one I can find with them. So I uninstalled it and am using one that's rated 4.7 and has over 50m downloads and reviews for days. It does have more ads than I'd like and the sub is $9/yr but at least the typing woes seem to be gone for the time being.

Anyway, thanks again and I'll let you know how things go after.
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Does anyone have physical access to your phones other than you?

Use NextDNS to get ride of the ads or simply use this.

Change your Google account password, now and write down.
[General Questions and Answers] a7md8762:
I have the same exact issue you have, but only the screen issue, when it magically from literally nowhere starts acting weird, and it tries to draw a triangle?!

I thought it was a screen being cracked inside or something, which leads to all of this disaster, but after I saw this post, I don't think this is a screen being cracked inside anymore...
[General Questions and Answers] a7md8762:
Are you sure you don't download random weird apps from the internet?

the fact this happened with 5 DIFFERENT PHONES is insanely crazy!

Maybe someone from your family/kids plays on your phone and installs random games or something?

maybe you are just magically cursed haha... jokes aside, don't let anyone access/use your phone without knowing what are they actually doing.

I really recommend doing a factory reset or even possibly flashing your phone with the RIGHT stock firmware (but this is kinda hard), As some of the malwares can actually WRITE itself on the system making factory resetting useless...

But I still recommend factory resetting your phone, and backup any important things on it, BUT NOT APPS (maybe because some of your apps are causing the issue).
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
You likely inadvertently installed the malware.

Use a free dns service as suggested and be careful if using a high profile target like WhatsApp. <This link gives you some ideas how attacks can be done.

Use a good browser like Brave.

Exercise zero tolerance for malware. The longer it's present, the more damage it can do.

If you can't find and remove within 2 hours or less, factory reset.

I am wondering if there is a GPS tab floating around somwhere for TF3D. I am looking for something similar to GPSToday, but in a tab style. I downloaded the new version of GPSToday that is a standard app instead of a plugin, but a tab version would be even better...

[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] poog:
Anyone know if raw dng photo capture is capable on this phone? And anyone know what sensor is used? The stock app does not seem to offer raw. It would be unfortunate if raw is not supported. Presumably the sensor is decent but Samsung stock software is usual not very good. 3rd party camera software rules, if raw is capable.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] DRSdroid:
I tried using the pro shot app in the play store. No luck. There is a Samsung system app that crashes when trying to take a raw picture. Kind of annoying, I really would like to be able to take raw pictures because I use Lightroom to clean things up. Cleaning up a jpeg in the edit app on the camera/gallery pretty much destroys the quality by double compressing.

This is really frustrating because I'm sure the camera sensor is capable of taking raw images it's almost like Samsung is trying to prevent it at the OS level just to prevent people from having a good camera feature in a mid-range phone. 👎
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] b1283822:
No RAW. You can download the Camera 2 API Prober to see all the feature it supports. It supports Camera 2 Limited (Full or Level 3 are better).

Yes, Samsung limited it at the system level, the processing is done by the kernel and the software only receives the result in JPG or HEIF. That's why you can't really use other camera apps to improve the results either.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] Dayuser:
The main camera (f/1.8, 0.8µm and around 1/1.7X" sensor size with PDAF and OIS) can either use a Samsung s5kgw1p sensor, commonly known as the GW1 or a Sony IMX682.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] sharanoth:
No camera2api LVL3/FULL support. Disappointing. Is there any way to port it?

[Motorola Moto G100 / Edge S] outerspacebuddy:
I have a stock Chinese ROM Edge S (X2125-4) bought from China last year, codename Nio. A few days ago, I unlocked the bootloader then flashed its ROM to RETEU version for better notification pushing.

I have a problem: I always turn off the phone before bedtime, and in the early morning it used to power on automatically by itself then ring the alarm, but now it doesn't wake up by itself, thus there's no alarm.

How to fix it? Thank you very much.

Can anyone help me find out how to set active sync not to be cancelled when in coming call is recieved or set phone not to cancel active sync when synching?

:mad:
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] DeepThought:
Could it be, that you have disabled 3g?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] taninu:
I wish it was that simple. I don't have 3G but I have read that it is because when you pick up the phone and the screen goes blank which automatically disconnects active sync.

It just doesn't make sense to me to have the phone connected to USB and charging yet unable to continously synch data and use the phone.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] clausg:
Having the same issue. Pity because I keep my phone connected in the office on a long cable, Phone constantly ringing and hence disconnecting...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Slayer:
Yeah, I have the same problem. I deal with it by just forwarding my mobile number to my direct line.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] DeepThought:
I can't imagine that the screen going blank has something to do with it. The phone goes into standby state but activesync is still running in the background - which I know for sure because sometimes I receive pushed emails while I'm having a call.

I still think it's having something to do with 2g/3g. At least my experience in Austria was that way. As long as I was using 2g it was not possible having a data connection and a voice connection simultaneously. Only with 3g that was possible.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] taninu:
If that was the case then my previous TyTN II should have had the same problem. Without 3G, my TyTN II synced without a problem when calls are received.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] DeepThought:
Right - in this case it must have a difference cause! Sorry I don't have another idea.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] blukoolaid:
I've been following the S22 release, and already knew there were a few updates dropped at this point. I just received my new S22 Ultra from AT&T, during setup I saw a popup that said I had an update available. Great. However immediately after setting it up I had to factory reset and start over, and when I finally got all set up again, it says there's no update available. I'm currently on an S908U running the January update, S908USQU1AVA6.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] tony612:
I am a noob at flashing and this may have been explained already but i need better clarification.

I had previous sim and cid unlock my phone which is an Att tilt to now function with the T-mobile network.

In my my tri-color screen I have:

KAIS1*0 MFG

Spl-1.0. OliPof

CPLD-8

My radio is R 1.27.12.11

I used Olipof Hard Spl from my understanding,but I want to flash a new rom preferably Dutty v4. What I wanted to know is do I use a new Hard Spl since the rom is current and if so do I have to go through the same process? Also how do I actually flash the rom?

Again I know noob questions I apologize and would really appreciate your help and patience.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] RizwanKhan:
if you want to update your hardspl to one of the 3.** hardspls released by jockyw, you can. These hardspl's were released to get rid of the screen freezes reported by everybody using wm6.1 on the old hardspl's. If you have done hardspl flash before than use the same procedure to flash one of the newer hardspls.

Check dutty's thread for what hardspl he recommends. Most commonly advised are 3.29 and 3.28; i had 3.56 and never had any problems with any of the roms.

To flash the rom you have to make sure your device is connected to pc via activesync. Than basically you have to uncompress the rom rar that you downloaded from here. In your folder you will have a ruu_signed.nbh and a kaisercustomruu.exe. You start the flash process by clicking (or double clicking) on the kaisercustomruu.exe. MAKE SURE YOU PHONE IS CONNECTED TO PC when starting this process and battery life is atleast 50%.

Oh and you should always read the wiki to gain more insight related to your device as your question is asked quite often ;) and before posting you SHOULD HAVE checked this thread:

Hello,

I am trying to obtain the source code for the Linux kernel running on my phone.

I own a Samsung Galaxy S4 running the latest OTA update from AT&T:

Samsung Galaxy S4 (I337) - Software Update for the Samsung Galaxy S4 (I337) - AT&T

Get Samsung Galaxy S4 (I337) support for the topic: Software Update for the Samsung Galaxy S4 (I337) . Find more step-by-step device tutorials on att.com.

www.att.com

Release date: January 19, 2017

Android version: 5.1

Baseband version: I337UCSGOK3

Kernel version: 3.4.0-6185444

Build number: LRX22C.I337UCSGOK3

File size: 304MB

Previous version required: I337UCUGOK2

From the AT&T website I see that the previous versions prior to I337UCSGOK3 were I337UCUGOK2 (Dec. 9, 2015) and prior to that I337UCUGOC4 (Aug. 11, 2015) which followed I337UCUGOC3 (April 7, 2015). I have successfully downloaded the source code for the Linux kernel used in the I337UCUGOC3 update (April 7, 2015):

Samsung Open Source

opensource.samsung.com

I find this by putting I337 in the search parameters. However, I am unable to find the source code for the Linux kernel running on the latest firmware (I337UCSGOK3) nor, for that matter, any of I337UCUGOK2 or I337UCUGOC4.

Please I would appreciate assistance if anyone knows whether this source code is available. Do I have to go to AT&T instead of Samsung, perhaps because the carrier was involved in the firmware update (as it came over the air)? Or maybe it is available from Samsung but has to be specifically requested? I saw the following in the Announcements file from the I337UCUGOC3 kernel available on the Samsung website:

However, when I emailed this mailbox I received an automated message saying that it was not monitored, and was redirected to submit a request through the Samsung website, which I did but have not heard back yet.

Thank you in advance,

Hi,

first off, pls don't bit my head off, as I have already i've search the forums and googled; found a couple apps here and there but nothing fits exactly my need.

Just would like to ask, what clock software you are using for your device? My device is a o2 zinc and i've been using chronos for quite sometime now but Im having probelms lately. i've tried the default alarms but i'm having intermittent problems too; sometimes it works, sometime it does not :(

Basically, my needs for the clock software is, it has to have a "Every half an hour" chime and scheduled restart capability, and off course a good old realiable alarm for wakeup(nothing fancy, just the rooster.wav will do :) ). Many thanks in advance...

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus] liftedplane:
I just switched from the lg g7 to the s22+

On my old lg I could go to another screen when on a call and get a little floating pop-up with call time and other info about the call.

Now I know I can get a small call when pop-up if I answer the phone while in another app, but it's stationary and I can't move it around the screen.

The Google phone app on the play store has a little bubble pop-up, but free actual app itself is annoying.

Hi XDA,

If this is not the right forum for Q, apologies for that - really tried to find the right place.

Situation: Kids have limited units per month, "free" minutes and SMS. I don't want to send /call after the limit is reached.

Task: Monitor how many minutes or SMS were send. Some widget would do just nicely.

I've searched a lot of forums, articles etc; it seems that due to security apps lost this permission. I found plenty of apps monitoring data over wifi/cellular data, but that's not what I am concerned.

Is there some way to monitor units? I still need to reach to operator, but searching so far was not successful.
