    Huawi Honor calling strange business line no matter what number I dial

    Posted: 03 Dec 2018 10:55 AM PST

    Hi I was on the phone and I heard a beep during the call, the call got dropped a few minutes later. After that no matter what number I dial I get this weird recording/hold line that first says "thanks for calling king"

    I tried deleting any apps I thought might be compromised, checking app permissions, and starting in safe mode and nothing fixes it. I cant recieve calls or texts. What should I do is this a backdoor in Huawei's software?

    What in the hell am I supposed to use t transfer files to my freakin' phone over wifi?

    Posted: 03 Dec 2018 07:26 PM PST

    I have a Nexus 6.

    It takes ages over USB. I want to do it over Wifi. Every single app for doing this has a pro version which is required to transfer more than a certain number of files or size total of files "per month".

    This doesn't even happen over the internet! No internet connection is required to do this, no servers are being used, what are these companies expecting me to pay for? Long story short, no, I'm not paying for this. What app do I use to not pay for this?

    How to update phone's dictionary

    Posted: 03 Dec 2018 05:09 PM PST

    Hello, I just switched over to my dad's old Samsung galaxy 4. The dictionary does not have random words, like "in" and a few others I've found so far. I know I can add them manually when I come across them. But I am wondering if there is a way to update the dictionary to a newer version or if there are any apps that would do the same thing.

    Thanks!

    problems with mms on galaxy s6

    Posted: 03 Dec 2018 08:30 PM PST

    I've had this problem with my Galaxy s6 ever since I got it. sometimes I receive mms delayed and sometime I don't get it at all whenever I use Google messages. mms works fine on Samsung messages and Facebook messenger. is this a problem on Google's end? or is it my phone?

    Android messages reverts to default notification sound

    Anyone else experience this? I have to go in and set each persons tone individually and turn off vibrate, the global setting doesn't take for some reason. Note 9.

    I have dual SIMs in my Moto G4+, would like to have the secondary SIM to use data but not receive incoming calls.

    Posted: 03 Dec 2018 02:13 PM PST

    I set my primary SIM for calls and SMS and the secondary for data only. It's an old number I had with a great data plan but some jerkoff I don't know uses that number as his on every loan he asks for so I receive calls from tons of debt collectors all day asking for that dude. Sadly, I'm in Mexico and there's no one I can call to fix this on the phone company and the banks don't give a damn about my explanations, they will say they understand and I will get someone else to call me minutes later so I just stopped picking up the calls. Is there a way I can lock the secondary SIM from incoming calls while still being able to use data either through phone settings or with an app?

    Thanks!

    How do I get rid of this 'Improve location accuracy' prompt?

    Posted: 03 Dec 2018 04:18 PM PST

    Screenshot here

    OP3 running LOS15.1. I've updated something over the weekend and now all apps that needs location access shows me this prompt. Clicking on Agree or Disagree doesn't change anything.

    How to stop notification that I received a Blocked Call.

    Posted: 03 Dec 2018 01:51 PM PST

    Until recently, I would have sworn that numbers on my Auto-Reject list were fully blocked from appearing on my phone. Yes, they can leave a voicemail, but robo-calls rarely seem to do that. More importantly, my phone didn't alert me in notifications that I received a blocked call.

    Now, it appears to do just that. Maybe I turned off something, but I can't find a setting to stop my phone from letting me know that a blocked call came in. I mean, they are blocked for a reason. Why would I want a notice (that I have to manually clear) about something I don't ever want to know about?

    Did something change?
    Does anyone know how to turn that notification off - without turning off ALL call notifications?

    Are my mum's photos gone for good?

    Posted: 03 Dec 2018 06:49 PM PST

    My mum had over 4k photos on her Samsung galaxy a5 2017 phone. Today I looked and saw all the photos from her gallery also in her google photos. So I deleted all photos from her gallery to then discover that they were then also gone from google photo. Turns out they werent actually uploaded to google photo. I was simply seeing them in the photo viewer version of the google photo app.

    I feel terrible this happened. She had tons of pictures of two new grand babies and a couple recent international trips.

    Any ideas to help get them back or are they gone for good? :(

    TIA

    Pixel XL Battery Life

    Posted: 03 Dec 2018 06:23 PM PST

    I recently bought a Pixel XL which gets 4.5-5 hours of screen on time. Is this below average?

    I'm coming from a phone with a 4500 mAh battery so I'm a bit out of touch.

    Google app no longer searching app names

    Posted: 03 Dec 2018 06:20 PM PST

    Galaxy s8+. In google app settings I have it set to search "names of installed apps" in the personal settings search settings. But, since early this week I don't get any app results unless I choose the "personal" tab in the search results. I tried clearing the app cache and data and it did not help. I also heard reset my phone, but the issue persists. I searched in this sub, but didn't see if this was a known issue.

    How can I stop incoming calls from taking priority over everything else on my phone?

    Posted: 03 Dec 2018 11:14 AM PST

    I know I can block calls entirely, but I'd rather not have to do that. I just need the Phone app to stop forcing itself to the front every time a call comes in.

    I'd like it to stay in the background and just have calls show up in the notification bar. Is that possible?

    Not receiving messages from iphone users after switching to a note 9 from an iphone 7

    Posted: 03 Dec 2018 04:34 PM PST

    Ok internet I need your help. I'm a rep for an att. I switched a customer from an iPhone 7 to a Galaxy note 9. It's been about 3 month and sometimes she'll notice that sometimes, not always, one of her friends will text her and she will never receive the message. It happens for direct sms messages and group messages of only iPhone users (besides her). We went to the iMessage deregister page but it says who number is not registered (I had disable iMessage on her device before the switch). As a rep, I've tried changing the Sim card, I've disabled advanced messages but none of those seems to work. In the store I was able to text her from an iPhone and made a group message with other iPhones and she did receive those. But then her sister tried messaging her to no avail. So I'm reaching to you guys to see if you can give me any more ideas to help this customer and future customer.

    TLDR; switched from iPhone to Samsung note 9. Can't receive group messages or direct text messages from iPhone users. Already deregistered from Imessage on the site and changed my sim. Doesn't happen always, but happens enough times to be a problem. Any ideas?

    Google Podcasts - Subscribe without handing over web and app activity

    Posted: 03 Dec 2018 12:35 PM PST

    Is this possible at all?

    The only workaround I could think of is to enable sharing in activity centre, subscribe to channels and then disable it again. Otherwise I might switch to PocketCasts, last used two years ago with my last Android phone.

    So I have asked this before but I am getting no where and I just want this app gone.

    Posted: 03 Dec 2018 03:26 PM PST

    I have an s7 and had an app installed on an sd card with a shortcut for it on my home page. Well I dropped the phone and the sd card somehow became corrupted. My only choice was to format it and reinstall the app, but a link to the app was still on my home page. I cannot delete the app because it cant find it and I cannot reinstall because it says the app is already installed. I am stuck with this ghost app/link.

    Is my phone properly encrypted, or is there something nefarious going on?

    Posted: 03 Dec 2018 03:16 PM PST

    I just got a brand new Mi A2 global version with Android One (currently on Oreo 8.1, waiting for Pie update). Today, I wanted to encrypt my phone. To my surprise, under Settings>Security it said the phone is already encrypted. I did not do it. Nor do I have the double-login experience I have with my other encrypted phone (where you have to input the code twice: once to decrypt the OS, and once to log in).

    I'm wary of this situation. I don't believe the phone is actually encrypted, but there's no action I can take. The only way to decrypt the phone, from what I read, is reset it to factory settings. But since I got it like this, I'm not sure that'd help.

    Is something wrong with the phone? Is this an Android One feature? Will resetting to factory help?

    Thanks for any help you can suggest!

    Update: tried resetting device to factory. Everything got deleted. First time phone boots it says "encrypted".

    Google play store, Google maps, Google assistant and the Google app itself have stopped working

    Posted: 03 Dec 2018 03:04 PM PST

    It started off as notifications coming up saying that the Google app stopped working, but then Google maps stopped as well, and finally the play store. I've got a Samsung galaxy A8 2018, with Nova launcher and the Nova Google companion installed. The only thing I can think of that would've caused it is the Nova Google companion, which I've turned off (not wanting to uninstall stuff because play store not working), and substratum themes, and I've tried turning the themes off and restarting, but Google still doesn't work.

    Need help flashing Wiko Lenny 3

    Posted: 03 Dec 2018 08:48 AM PST

    Hey, so I had recently tried learning about flashing and custom roms on android, and I had flashed twrp with magisk on my lenny 3. Because my device seems to be unpopular, roms like lineageOS aren't available for it, only some sketchy roms are.
    So I was trying to flash a rom with spflash tool, ticked all files except recovery.img cause I didn't wanna remove TWRP in case something went wrong, but I was prompted with some message saying the flash would only work with "Format All + Download" instead of "Download Only", so I selected the format+download, but it seems that by doing so it ticked recovery.img back, formatted all files from my phone and flashed something that doesn't boot at all. What I don't understand is why after doing this I can't reflash the phone. Whenever I tried to use spflash tool again it just didnt detect my phone again. No data signal whatsoever. It also doesn't make the connection alert sound whenever i connect it to windows like it previously did. Perhaps cause of the formatting... It's not a cable problem cause I've tried many different ones.

    TLDR My dead lenny 3 doesn't give any data signal when i connect it via usb after a bad flash, so I can't reflash it to fix it

    What I've tried:
    - Reinstalling VCOM, CDC and ABD drivers on 2 windows computers, spflashtool still couldn't detect my phone and do the flashing;
    - Using a stock firmware installer like the one from the blog below, on both computers, after reinstalling the drivers, still couldn't detect my phone.
    - Tried charging it on my pc overnight to see if I could somehow boot into recovery, tried long pressing Power + Vol Up, Power + Vol Down, Power + Vol Up + Vol Down. Nothing boots it. I also tried holding Vol Up as I connect it via USB to see if it could connect but nope. No data signal.
    - I have adb and fastboot installed, i tried both abd devices and fastboot devices commands, on both pcs, to see if my device was listed at all, and it wasn't.

    Any suggestions on how to be able to flash it again? If I could boot it into TWRP i'd be all set cause i have a backup... the problem is that my TWRP is gone and even if I still had it I can't boot my phone (Even tho I left it charging)
    Any help would be appreciated, and if this isn't the right forum to ask for unbricking help, where should I?

    Sony Xperia Z2A rooting help

    Posted: 03 Dec 2018 02:44 PM PST

    I have tried every method to root this phone. I unlocked the bootloader. Tried magisk manager, with the boot.img patching, turns out i need a custom recovery to install a "bootbridge by adrian". Tried installing a custom recovery, no luck, Sony uses a recovery in-boot, meaning that the recovery is merged with the boot image, and you cant flash it unless you pre-flash a modified fotakernel into the firmware, only supported by cyanogen/omnirom (which, yes, you guessed, my phone doesnt have any custom rom). Then i tried creating a custom rom with prfcreator (added supersu, a dualrecovery from someone and xposed), surprise! i need root access to root an stock firmware (also, the custom rom i made weights like 100mb less than the factory rom, even with supersu, a custom recovery and xposed). So, i'm at a loss here. I need to root my phone, because it has a 128gb sd card, and i want to use it as a mobile pentesting lab, and for that matters i need root access. I resorted to those one click rooting chinese apks, but i read that they are spyware so i flashe the original 5.0.2 rom. I need advice or help. Thanks in advance!
