[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
When we deny/ block certain permissions to apps, how does Android (or iOS) enforce this?

There are two ways of enforcing this setting:

1. System tells the app not to ask for the permission because the user has denied it.

2. App keeps trying to access the particular permission, and the system continuously blocks it.

For example, if we deny location permission to an app, does the app no longer request location access, or does it keep trying to access location and system keeps blocking it?

If method 1 is how it works (and I doubt it), it would be great for performance and battery life.

If method 2 is how it works (and I think this is how it works), then the app would likely continue to drain battery even more than what it would if the permission was granted.

Can someone explain how this works?

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] zSyntex:
The first one if it's update to support the current SDK. App comunicate a request system-level (permission) and ask you to choose.
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Granting / revoking permissions is done at app's level and controlled / noted by Android OS:

Permissions on Android | Android Developers

developer.android.com

Keep in mind that once an app has permission to use something, it can do so whenever it wants. While an app might have a legitimate reason for accessing your location, it could also check your location in the background every so often and send that data to advertisers - what will drain battery, of course.

Even low end device like redmi 6 or note 10 is showing 24mbps speed on okhla test

Can anyone state why this is happening to my device.pls
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] zSyntex:
Depends on the WiFi aggregation

I suggest to not see the download speed from the WiFi Info, instead of testing it properly.

[Red Magic 8 pro] appless:
has anyone ever heard of this before? amoled burn-in just 6 days after purchase. i do not play intensive games nor have it running without any protection such as a case and a screen protector. never dropped it. how is this even possible? not sure the photos are doing justice but u can see the AOD function burnt onto the screen with the two circles and the digital clock counter. asked nubia and the only thing they can say is send it back to their service center and nothing more can be done. as i am using it as my daily driver, is there any way of fixing it without sending it? or i am pretty much screwed and should just ask for a refund?
[Red Magic 8 pro] blackhawk:
I can't see it. Use ScreenTest to view it better. If you can see it send it back. Defective display.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sanhita:
Hello fellow developers,

I am having trouble with an Android app I am working on that is programmed to send GPS data to a web service every 2 hours. The issue is that after about a day, the service appears to be interrupted on the phone, and data is no longer sent.

To troubleshoot this issue, I have tried the following with no success:

I have checked the app for error messages or exceptions, but none are being thrown when it stops sending data to the web service.

I have set an alarm to see that keeps the app working in non-interactive mode. It works for a few days and then stops again even with the alarm set and going off everyday.

I have checked the web service logs, but there are no errors or issues on that side that would prevent the data from being received.

I have tested the app on multiple devices, and the issue occurs mostly in Sony Xperia, Samsung S22 etc.

I have tried different intervals for sending the GPS data to the web service (e.g., every 10 mins), but the issue persists.

I have tried wakelock/caffiene apps to keep the CPU running.

All Android settings are set to not let the app go to sleep and to ignore battery optimization for my app, and it is also a foreground service.

I am wondering if anyone has any insight into what could be causing this issue and how to fix it? I appreciate any help or advice you can offer!

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] groston:
I would like to use my rooted Pixel 7 Pro's 'Flip to Shh' functionality, but it is not working. (The phone is only rooted so that I can use AdAway - nothing else special.) To test, I put my Pixel 7 on a table, called it from a different number, and heard it ring. I then flipped the phone over (but did not feel the vibration - but I have turned those off), called called it from a different number, and heard it ring again.

I looked for some clues online for things to try and I can confirm:

Bedtime - not enabled

Bluetooth is turned off

Settings->System->Gesture->Flip to shhh - enabled

Settings->Digital Wellbeing & parental controls->Do Not Disturb->Schedules->Flip to Shhh enabled

Google maps driving mode not enabled

Some more weirdness: I put the phone screen face down at night and in the mornings, Do Not Disturb is activated. This makes no sense.

What else can I check/try to make this work properly (and I knwo what should happene because this feature worked as expected on my Pixel 3XL)?

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] N1TROGUE:
So basically a while ago ASI (Android System Intelligence) started stopping randomly on my S22 Ultra. When this occurred, my phone lost basic functions such as downloading apps from the play store and became noticeably slower and the only way to (temporarily) fix this was to reboot the phone until ASI inevitably stopped again. In an attempt to fix this, I updated ASI to the latest version, this didn’t work. After that I tried factory resetting my phone but unfortunately this didn’t work either, so after that I tried re-flashing and my OS and wiping my data using Odin, this partially worked. I stopped getting the “Android System Intelligence has stopped” notification, but now when I press “install” on an app from the play store it either just installs it or immediately stops installing, and when I go to “Manage apps & device -> pending downloads” it says “unable to install app”, but when I retry by pressing on the retry button it does successfully install. I’m almost certain that it slows down my phone as well. I would really like to fix this so any help would be much appreciated.

Hello all,

I am having problems with my Android and am a software engineer (but not an Android engineer), so I thought I'd post here.

After upgrading to Android 13, my phone often freezes, goes blank, and then restarts. It always relates to starting audio while wired headphones are plugged in. For example, if I start a call with the headphones plugged it, the phone freezes and crashes, but if I plug it in while the call is in progress, there is no problem. So, I tried running

adb logcat

in TCP mode and using wired headphones and I noticed the following things:

It seems to be related to an "audio policy". I'm not sure what that is, but it says the following many times repeated:

04-05 13:17:24.006 3560 4672 W ServiceManager: Service media.audio_policy didn't start. Returning NULL
04-05 13:17:24.006 3560 4672 W AudioSystem: AudioPolicyService not published, waiting...

A nearby error (also repeated, although less) is:

04-05 13:17:22.010 1505 1777 E AudioSystem-JNI: Command failed for android_media_AudioSystem_checkAudioFlinger: -32
04-05 13:17:22.010 1505 1777 E AS.AudioService: Audioserver died.

Eventually the logcat ends with a message like this:

04-05 13:22:10.407 526 526 I lowmemorykiller: lmkd data connection dropped
04-05 13:22:10.408 526 526 I lowmemorykiller: closing lmkd data connection

Please let me know if anyone has any ideas on how I can bypass this bug and listen to music/calls in peace!

[G1 Android Development] SGTDavePwnage:
Hi Everyone,

Ive been on a bit of a mission with T-mobile and have been in touch with the directors office, they are under the impression that nothing has been locked down on the phone in rc7/rc30 that would limit the use of the phone from a development standpoint.

Ive given them a few examples of things that cant be done but they refuse to do anything (other than cancel my contact if i want) as im only one person who is complaining.

I know everyone runnning rc30v1.2 and rc8v.12 is ok atm, but could EVERONE please send a little email of complaint. Just explaining that you are unhappy that they have locked down the phone and denied us root.

cl&do@t-mobile.co.uk

They say that if they get more complaints then something will be done :)

ITS WORTH A SHOT ISNT IT?

PS... If anyone wants to cancel their contract in the uk because of the lack of access, call 01707 315000 and ask to talk to Leah within the Directors team about your G1 problem. I explained that i couldnt get my apps working because i couldnt edit/add files to system directories.

They should offer to cancel it, it worked for me :)
[G1 Android Development] tonym001:
Yeah, it's worth a shot, although from past experience with T-Mobile this may be akin to trying to extract blood from a stone :D
[G1 Android Development] Datruesurfer:
I tried doing the same thing after I got my G1 (before anyone figured out the hole in RC29). I found the people over at T-Mobile USA are just as clueless. As soon as you mention the words Android or G1, they instantly transfer you to a different support queue. I tried to explain what root access was and they didn't have a clue what I was talking about.
[G1 Android Development] SGTDavePwnage:
I found that here in the UK also, these people work in the directors team and so far have not fobbed me off.

They dont claim to be technical but are at least talking to the T-mobile developers about this. They have raised my concerns with the UK G1 manager, i think my case just needs a little more oomph from others complaining.
[G1 Android Development] card13:
I've already called HTC, G1 support, and the PDA/Smartphone support ppl. None of them were willing to even try to understand the issue.
