In the meantime I did some etsts and probably I found when this happens: it's when you edit the contact's name, either on the phone or on the web. What is strange is that the duplicate is not in the contact's list but is visible only when you search, as sort oif ghost.

I tried deleting cache of CONTACTS app and CONTACTS storage system app to no avail, deleting data only of CONTACTS app is useless, but if you delete also data of CONTACTS STORAGE then all contacts resync and dupliocated disappear. Problem is that I have dual sim and this way I lose the SIMchoice for calling a number.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] blackhawk:
I don't use cloud backup and still have this fun. I'll likely have to hand edit the mess then not use sim card backup🤣

In my case that's what probably started it.
[Honor Magic V] simon92g:
Hello,

i'm sorry if i post in this section but there's no Magic 5Pro section...

Every day i'm receiving 3-4 notification from the device manager app saying that there are some apps that are active in background and drain battery...those app are Zepplife, Spotify, Whatsapp etc. All of them consume very little energy and they have to stay active in background. I've already removed them from automatic management and from energy saving. Also, it's not possible to turn off device manager notifications.

Do you have a solution?

Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azeld:
Hello,

I have a rooted OnePlus Nord with LineageOS21 + Magisk Delta and this app always detects root : FortKingGod

Right now I have Magisk Delta with USNF, MagiskHide (this game + gms + play store) and enforce SuList off.

If I check on YASNAC, I pass basic integrity and cts profile match.

I tried different combinations (Magisk+Shamiko, SuList on/off, Zygisk on/off, ...) each time clearing the app's cache and data and yet I still have an error keeping me from launching the game.

If anyone has a solution that will be great !

Thanks

EDIT : turns out the game was just looking for addon.d folder ...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] sberends:
All my SIMS just suddenly stopped working. I had an eSIM and a normal SIM in the phone. Last update was several weeks ago. All of a sudden the SIMs just stopped working and show no signal. I have factory reset, tried different SIMS, erased my eSIM, and downgraded firmware. Running out of ideas.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ze7zez:
For a short while, call the local emergency number. If you don't hear a signal, my guess is that you have radio damage.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE] Geo1Lee1:
Tablet did an update and now I can't disable the magnetic sensors
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE] Renate:
Mmm, why would you want to?

You could kill it in (one of) multiple places, DTB, kernel, probably services.jar
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE] Geo1Lee1:
I use it as the hub for my truck stereo and use magnets to hold it in place. I was able to do it when I first installed it. But since this last update , the ability to do this has been either removed or hidden elsewhere. How can I disable this function?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE] Geo1Lee1:
Changing the auto screen doesn't do anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE] Renate:
Are you Magisk'ed? (i.e. can you mod the kernel without vb problems)?

I don't want to get in trouble bricking an item I don't own.

Can you pull your boot image? Can you fastboot boot

There are also hardware ways to defeat this.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE] Geo1Lee1:
It isn't Magisked. I haven't unlocked any devices since I owned an HTC phone roughly ten years.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE] Geo1Lee1:
I can relocate the magnets, just wanted to do it with software like I was able to do before this last update
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE] Renate:
It could easily be in a property.

adb shell "getprop | grep hall"
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE] Geo1Lee1:
How do I find this ?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE] Renate:
Do you have a terminal app or an ADB connection over USB or WiFi?

That's an Android shell command, in short, getprop | grep hall
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE] Geo1Lee1:
Not sure what that is. It's been a while since I've unlocked anything
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE] Renate:
Well, enable Developer Options in setting (7 x build number) and enable ADB.

Google minimal ADB.

C:\>adb shell
$ getprop | grep hall
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE] Geo1Lee1:
Via my computer?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE] Renate:
Well, you're going to have to use USB and ADB probably no matter what the fix is.

ADB is part of the basics here, just google "minimal ADB".
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE] Geo1Lee1:
Thanks. I'll get back with you.
[Touch HD General] Alien7:
Hi, please help me when I am scrolling in the TouchFlo 3D than the TF3D everytime restart. It is in all tabs. Just when I scroll the application crash and started again and it is so next time and next time. I made 3 hard resets and every time when I connect Touch HD to the PC over the ActiveSync and install the applications, the TouchFlo 3D make it again. I install only the Total Commander, copy the fonts and that´s all.

I have read the topics that when they go to the pictures or music the app will crash and they solved the problem but by me it is in all tabs !!! I have try it and haven´t helped me...

Sorry for me English but please be anxious to understand me.
[Touch HD General] Kangburra:
After a hard reset you don't have the problem until you install Total Commander? If that is the only thing installed then that must be the problem, re-download it and start from a hard reset again.
[Touch HD General] Alien7:
I have installed most of application and yet is no problem. But I´m afraid the Touch HD connect over the ActiveSync. Also I will install my applications only from memory card. And yes I haven´t installed the Total Commander. This can be the problem. I will try it and write again if it will be all right. I will install also the newest TC. Thanks

EDIT: Ok I have installed the newest Total Commander (but not over the ActiveSync) and is all ok. I will not install the apps over the ActiveSync. I think that this was a problem.

EDIT2: Please can you tell me how can I extract from the ActiveSync application the *.cab file?

EDIT3: Uff I had synchrosed my contacts I was so afraid. I think that is problem only by installation of applications... but what I must do when it will crash again? I must make hard reset? it is waste of most time to install all again.

Hey there, Windows Mobile enthusiasts! 📱💻

Exciting news might be on the horizon for those who have been holding onto their Windows Mobile devices! According to a recent chat with Microsoft support, there are whispers and speculations circulating about the potential return of the Microsoft Store to the Windows Mobile platform.

For many of us who have remained loyal to Windows Mobile despite its dwindling app ecosystem, this news comes as a ray of hope. The Microsoft Store served as a hub for downloading apps, games, and other digital content directly onto our beloved Windows phones. However, with the gradual phasing out of the platform and the discontinuation of support for Windows 10 Mobile, the Microsoft Store eventually followed suit, leaving users with limited options for app acquisition and updates.

But could this be a sign of a revival for Windows Mobile? While we must approach this news with cautious optimism, the mere possibility of the Microsoft Store making a comeback is enough to spark excitement within the community.

Imagine once again having access to a diverse array of apps tailored specifically for our Windows Mobile devices. From productivity tools to entertainment apps, the potential return of the Microsoft Store could breathe new life into our aging smartphones.

Of course, it's essential to temper our expectations and wait for official confirmation from Microsoft. Rumors have a way of spreading like wildfire, and until we receive concrete details or announcements from the company, it's crucial to remain level-headed.

Nevertheless, the prospect of the Microsoft Store returning to Windows Mobile is undoubtedly tantalizing. It serves as a reminder that even in the ever-evolving landscape of technology, surprises, and unexpected developments can still emerge.

So, fellow Windows Mobile enthusiasts, let's keep our fingers crossed and our eyes peeled for any further updates. The possibility of a resurgence for our beloved platform may be on the horizon, and with it, a renewed sense of excitement for the future of Windows Mobile.

Stay tuned for more updates as this story unfolds!
[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] XceleratedGamer:
Hi.

I was wondering if someone could bring the electronic image stabilisation from stock xz3/xz2's firmware and make a magisk module or integrate it in the Sony tama camera V3 from dtrunk. The Sony camera in stock has the option to enable SteadyShot(the name for Sony's eis). I miss it so much 😭
[Google Pixel 6a] d3gus:
Hello,

I was recently organizing the photos from the last trip and they disappeared after creating the album. Normally I have the backup or folder synced with my nas, but not this time....

The process was the following:

- I tried to create an album inside the DCIM folder with a gallery app, but it gave me an error.

- I tried to create the same album in the Pictures folder and it kept giving me an error.

- So for the first time I used Google Photos to create the album and created it in the Pictures folder.

- Since I had two albums in that folder with almost the same (but incorrect) names, I decided to move all the photos in the album to a new one (with a good name) with the Files app.

- I made sure all the photos had been moved (I saw them in Google Photos in the new album) and with the Files app I deleted the other (supposedly) empty albums. But I never saw those photos again... so I guess what I really saw were the thumbnails instead of the photos.

I have tried different data recovery apps but it only finds photos that have been deleted from some photo gallery, I don't get any of these... so I have thought of using Windows programs but they don't recognize my phone as internal storage or external. I also tried to mount the phone with Android Drive, but the recovery programs do not see the phone.

I see that natively I can only mount it as file transfer or ptp, but maybe with Windows USB Mass Storage I would see it?

Any other idea?

Thank you very much in advance.
[Google Pixel 6a] gneagu:
You could try Recuva and run it from your computer. Get the free version by CCCleaner. It works pretty well. It will find files, tell you if they're overwritten, and if they can be salvaged.

We've run it on drives and SD cards at my company. Not sure about phones, but it's worth a try
[Google Pixel 6a] d3gus:
Thank you so much.

I have already tried the programs Recuva, EaseUs, Dr Fone, etc... but all of those dont work well for me from Windows because they dont see the internal memory of the phone.

However, I have been searching through a reddit subforum and it seems that on current phones you cannot recover what is permanently deleted from the internal memory.

If, however, someone knows if this is possible, I would be eternally grateful.

i set up new email account but when i open message ,it partially downloaded even expect the subjdct nothing iss downloaded.and then i have to tap to download rest message.this is very hectic.so please suggest me optimum user friendly set up config.. for email for normal edge network not 3g or wifi
[General Questions and Answers] egzthunder1:
I believe that option is in "advanced" in Outlook's Options menu. Play with it, I believe that you can set the maximum amount of memory per message. Now, since you are on an EDGE network, I wouldn't recommend you to d/l all the messages with all the attachments. Unless you absolutely need the attachments, I would leave them out since they can take a while to d/l via Edge (not a long time, but during this time of active connectivity, your battery will suffer). Just my thoughts though. Hope this help...

Don't try flashing system via TWRP itself, due to on going encryption issues it is not working correctly, I managed to break encryption, it is possible, unfortunately I don't remember how, but flashing works when you break encryption
[Android Head-Units] Beni4:
Hi,

I'm trying since days to enable ADB on an Android 10 based device. The device is a proprietary box from china without screen which can only be connected via USBC. I managed already to root the device with magisk (System-as-root) based on a boot.img which I've extraced from an OTA update. There is a small switch on the backside of the device which can be used to activate the BROM mode. Via SP Flash Tool or mtkclient the device can be flashed.

So far so good, but when I connect the device via USB it is simulating an iPhone (VID=05AC PID=12A8) "Apple Mobile Device USB Composite Device" and is not recognized as android device. So no android drivers are loaded for the device. Also adb does not detect the device even when adbd is running on it. I've already added the Apple vendor key to adb and forced windows to use android drivers but this was also not enough to get a connection. I've also tried to change the vendor prop "ro.vendor.usb.vid" via a magisk overlay script but the device still communicates the original VID. It seems like the USB connection has been somehow limited but I can't find the place where the usb configuration is made during the boot process.

On the recovery partition I've found the init.usb.rc script where the usb configuration is set but with different VendorIDs

But where can I find this for the normal bootmode? The ramdisk of the regular bootloader does not contain any script. I couldn't find any script (on boot, recovery and system) where the usb configuration is made for the Apple VID to simulate the device as an iPhone.

There is also something in the inti.rc of the recovery bootloader which made me curious.

From the naming it looks like it has something to do with this. But I couldn't find out what this parameter controls. I've tried to change this parameter to 0 via magisk overlay script but it didn't change anything. I also don't know if the magisk overlay script is able to change anything already on early-init.

So I have currently no idea how to continue to get a running adb connection. Does anybody have an idea how the usb configuration is done and where it can be changed? I would like to change the USB settings of the device so that the device is recognized as regular android device and is able to accept an adb connection.

Thanks,

Ben
[Android Head-Units] Renate:
A bunch of comments:

When you see a "composite device" it could have any interface in it. Without looking closer you can't tell.

In Linux, use lsusb -v to see what you've got.

In Windows, use https://ftdichip.com/utilities/#MicrosoftUSBView

Look for "0x42"

Don't worry too much about VID/PID per se, we can always work around that.

The stuff you quoted is only the preliminary setup for USB, not the actual config.

That's all in something like init.usb.rc

Android USB setup is "belt and suspenders". There's a whole blob of script for using sysfs and a whole other blob for using configfs.

It's the department of redundant redundancy.

(You're using configfs)

I can see you have sys.usb.config=adb,mtp

But I don't see any sys.usb.state so no configuration has been executed.

"adb,mtp" is a bit unusual.

The Android "recipes" are so stupid that it might know how to make "mtp,adb" and not know how to make "adb,mtp"

Try setprop sys.usb.config mtp,adb and setprop persist.sys.usb.config mtp,adb
[Android Head-Units] Beni4:
Hi Renate,

unfortunately setprop sys.usb.config mtp,adb and setprop persist.sys.usb.config mtp,adb did not bring any change.

But in the meanwhile I've recognized that I was wrong about this file "/sys/class/iphone_usb/iphone/enable". When I change it to 0 in the magisk overlay script the device is still booting, but it isn't recognized as USB device at all. So it seems like it has influence on the USB configuration.

This is the output from USBView.
[Android Head-Units] Renate:
Ok, the USB is showing PTP (the most intellectually dead interface in 14b years of universal existence).

Did you getprop | grep usb ?

It seems that you are missing most of the USB-related .rc files?

Try find . -name '*.rc'
[Android Head-Units] Beni4:
USB-Props:

*.rc-files:
[Android Head-Units] Renate:
What does init.usb.configfs.rc say?

Try setprop sys.usb.config adb and setprop persist.sys.usb.config adb
[Android Head-Units] Beni4:
"setprop sys.usb.config adb" and "setprop persist.sys.usb.config adb" did not bring any change.

init.usb.configfs.rc
[Android Head-Units] Renate:
Oh, I think they may have done a job on you.

getprop | grep adbd
getprop sys.usb.state
start adbd
ls -l /system/bin/adbd

I don't think they gave you an adbd daemon. :(

Well, you're rooted, not that big a deal.
[Android Head-Units] Beni4:
getprop | grep adbd

getprop sys.usb.state

start adbd

Should it also be possible to run adbd not as a service? If I run "/system/bin/adbd" (after I've stopped it) I get:

ls -l /system/bin/adbd

I did some research and found out that the adbd socket should be created via "socket adbd seqpacket 660 system system" in the usb.init.rc and should be visible in /dev/socket/adbd right?

So I need to check if the adbd socket is there.?
[Android Head-Units] Renate:
Nah, don't worry about it right now.

That socket is used to trigger the popup dialog for acknowledging the keys of a new desktop.

You can't just start adbd from a shell.

See what is here:

ls -l /config/usb_gadget/g1/configs/b.1

If nothing found, look for something similar. Maybe b.1 is something else.

Look here for anything related to usb:

dmesg
[Android Head-Units] Beni4:
There isn't even a folder "/config/usb_gadget/" only /config/sdcarfs/ does exist. That means that configfs isn't used at all, right? Otherwise the config folder should have been written during boot. So I need to check /sys/devices/virtual/android_usb/ for sysfs config?

"dmesg | grep usb" does not return anything usb related.

ps -A | grep adbd
[Android Head-Units] Beni4:
Instead of the "android_usb" there is only the "iphone_usb" which I've mentioned in the beginning in the sys folder. When I set "enable to "0" the usb data connection is completly disabled. So it must be somehow connected to this.

In the recovery script sys.usb.configfs is set to 0

and the configuration is done via sysfs. Maybe that's the way to get it running?
[Android Head-Units] Renate:
So they did some real goofyness to make this iphone stuff.

Apparently it's incompatible with usb_gadget.

There's no reason for doing that, they could make any goofy interface for iphone that wouldn't interfere with normal Android MTP or ADB.

zcat /proc/config.gz | grep GADGET
...
CONFIG_USB_GADGET=y
...
[Android Head-Units] Beni4:
I guess the interference was created by purpose to avoid that the users can work with adb...

zcat /proc/config.gz | grep GADGET

and

CONFIG_USB_IPHONE=y
[Android Head-Units] Renate:
Well, you do have USB_GADGET. I have no idea how it plays with iphone stuff.

Well, you're rooted, right? Try:

cd /config
mkdir usb_gadget
cd usb_gadget
ls -Rl

Is there lots of stuff?

setprop sys.usb.config adb
[Android Head-Units] Beni4:
I’m not able to create the dir -> mkdir Operation not permitted.

Config is mounted as

none on /config type configfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)

I will try to create it already during boot with magisk
[Android Head-Units] Renate:
You've got a # prompt and still can't create it? You did su? Sorry if I'm being obvious.
[Android Head-Units] Beni4:
Yes, I've got the # prompt after su.

Creating the folder via magisk overlay script did also not work.

Thank your for all you effort so far!
[Android Head-Units] Renate:
Mmm, I misread some code. You can't create /config/usb_gadget

You are supposed to create /config/usb_gadget/g1 if /config/usb_gadget is already there.

You might try lsmod to see if the iphone stuff is in a module.

Then you can try rmmod.

But I still don't know what's missing from usb_gadget.

It may be that the kernel is missing a config.
