    Is it possible to control an Android phone with broken screen?

    Posted: 23 May 2021 06:53 AM PDT

    So, I'v got a phone with a non-working screen and would like to control it (preferably using a Mac (this logically also includes Linux-tools) or another Android phone or TV). It must be possible to install and delete apps, run and control apps, settings etc, preferably exactly like having a second screen or running headless on a server. Is this possible somehow? If so, how?

    Starting point:

    -Android phone with broken screen (it's all black)
    -Not the latest Android OS installed
    -Not connected to my Google account (ie can't install from Play Store on web)
    -Can confirm phone is on
    -Developer options enabled
    -VNC, TeamViewer and the like not already installed or active
    -Phone is presumably unlocked (bio-sensor works and is locked/unlocked by me, or by code if screen works)
    -No SIM/mobile net, no access to WiFi nor BT (due to screen), so must somehow be resolved by; USB...

    Best custom ROM for Xiaomi Note9S

    Posted: 23 May 2021 04:52 AM PDT

    I'm looking for a good Note9S custom rom that's not MIUI.

    I'm looking with a rom that has;

    1.Almost the same camera quality as the stock rom.

    2.Good battery life.

    and

    3.Less bloatware than MIUI.

    I currently installed Evolution X on my Samsung S7 Edge to test it out and its not bad, I'm just not sure which custom rom is the 'best'.

    Transfer large video files to PC? Samsung S8+

    Posted: 23 May 2021 06:00 AM PDT

    Whenever I try to transfer my photos/videos from phone to PC, via cable, the large files (e.g. 3 minute video ~380MB) simply dont transfer and a number of others are corrupted and wont show thumbnails/play.

    The files are on the MicroSD card.

    Also tried uploading to google drive, but those large files also dont transfer (without any error message either). The "corrupted" ones do though.

    Have also tried SuperBeam Pro and transfers fail after some time and a few files moved with error message that the sending device disconnected (or similar). Screen is kept active, and both device not being used for anything else at teh time

    4 updates back to back. Loop?

    Posted: 23 May 2021 10:15 AM PDT

    I have an S10 that I usually update a week or so after an update comes out. Carrier AT&T. Today I've downloaded three android updates back to back and it's prompted me for a fourth. Infuriating.

    On android ver10. Not sure what software info I need to find out if I'm up to date, but four updates back to back is ludicrous. Wondering if I'm stuck in a loop.

    My Android microphone does not work properly on third party apps

    Posted: 23 May 2021 10:05 AM PDT

    I just recently got a TCL 105G, and while the phone is good for it's price, every time I record or call on a third party app (Snapchat, Google Duo, TikTok, Instagram) the microphone is muffled or the person I'm on the phone with says they can't hear me. I really would like to get this fixed. Thank you in advance I'd like to mention that the apps all have permission to my microphone, so that isn't the issue

    DND turning itself on at 6:10 AM

    Posted: 23 May 2021 09:19 AM PDT

    I've had the issue for a while of DND automatically turning itself on at 6:10 AM every day. I can turn it off at 6:09 AM (or any other time) and it turns back on at 6:10. There are no schedules set, so I'm not sure why it does it. I've Googled and found several other similar complaints but no resolutions.. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Apps won't display notifications unless I open them

    Posted: 23 May 2021 08:54 AM PDT

    One is a mood tracking app and the other is a language learning app. They are both meant to send me reminders to log/complete tasks, but they don't unless I open the apps or restart my device. I have a Samsung galaxy s8 running android 9. If there are any ways to try to fix this without updating my phone, I'd like to try those first.

    Using an Android to connect to VPN, share internet and fool work laptop IP

    Posted: 23 May 2021 07:54 AM PDT

    Hi everyone,

    Rather cryptic question: I'm going to be working remotely for some weeks but my company has some silly issues with taking laptops abroad without official permission which takes too long to get. I can't tweak the work laptop too much as I don't have admin rights plus I don't want IT detecting unusual activities, but I'm definitely taking it with me and need to figure out how not to trigger any geolocation related alerts.

    Is there a way to fool the laptop into thinking it's connecting to my home country ISP? I was thinking potentially taking my android tablet as well, logging into my VPN back home through OPENVPN, and somehow sharing that internet connection as a hotspot to which my laptop would connect but I don't know if this is feasible, or how I'd go about doing it or if an app would do this?

    Is there any other way to generate a wifi signal VPNed and fast enough to remote work? Maybe not through android but a built-in router VPN connecting from abroad e.g. an Eero?

    Any help appreciated. Thanks.

    Samsung Galaxy A40 Factory Reset without Passcode

    Posted: 23 May 2021 07:08 AM PDT

    My brother changed his pincode on his Samsung Galaxy A40 to a pattern and later forgot the pattern. He managed to backup all his data while the phone was still powered on. He later powered it off and since then he isn't able to reset it.

    He wanted to go into recovery mode and reset it there, but since OneUI 3 you need to have to phone connected to a pc if you want to boot into recovery mode. When i do that and power the device off by holding POWER & VOLUME DOWN, the charging symbol appears.
    To enter recovery mode i'm supposed to hold down POWER & VOLUME UP right after the device has shut off, but that's not possible because of the charging symbol.

    I have also tried resetting the device via Find my Device with the Google Account, but that's also not possible because airplane mode is activated and can't be disabled without the unlock pattern.

    Is there any way to reset the phone?? (It doesn't matter if everything gets lost) (USB Debugging is disabled)

    Redmi Note 10 AccuBattery estimated capacity

    Posted: 23 May 2021 07:04 AM PDT

    I just got a Redmi Note 10 and also just installed AccuBattery. It said that the estimated capacity was 4349 mah, the design capacity is 5000 mah. But when I installed AccuBattery on my Huawei Y7a the estimated capacity was around 4700 mah when I just installed the app. Should I just drain the battery of the Redmi Note 10 and then charge it to 100 percent?

    How can One find more about the "build quality" of an Android phone?

    Posted: 23 May 2021 06:58 AM PDT

    Some properties of a smartphone that are hard to measure and quantify are actually extremely important in the choice of a new phone. For instance things like:

    1. The touchscreen should work as properly as possible even in hard conditions (with wet hands, when it's raining etc).
    2. The phone should be as resistant as possible to falls or getting wet.
    3. The touchscreen should keep working even when the screen cracks (it seems that this is true for some phones, but not for others).

    Is it possible to find similar details for Android smartphones and possibly filter phones using similar criteria?

    How should one look for a good phone that matches similar hard-to-quantify characteristics?

    can't adb backup an app's data even though allowbackup is set to true

    Posted: 23 May 2021 06:48 AM PDT

    Hello, so i am trying to backup an app from my old phone using adb backup (im trying to backup "Green The Planet 2") and for some reason the backup doesnt work when i restore it. I was able to decompress the .ab file to a .tar file using Android Backup extractor, and the only thing inside the .tar is a _manifest file. I checked the app's manifest xml and allowbackup is set to true, but i still can't backup the data. Any help would be appreciated, thank you

    Android storage keeps filling no matter what I delete or move

    Posted: 22 May 2021 09:42 PM PDT

    Hello, for a while I've been having this problem where no matter what I do my cellphone internal memory keeps filling. I've a SD Card where I've moved many apps, but the space that's left available always gets filled by something. It's almost a ritual of everyday for me to keep deleting cache files with CCleaner, I've removed media files specially from WhatsApp too.

    Cellphone: Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime with 16 GB and a 30 GB SD Card

    https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S-Phones/Storage-keeps-filling-up-no-matter-what-I-do/td-p/1542092

    I saw this post with a similiar problem as I but my Android folder is like 150Mb and I dind't found any weird logs

    https://imgur.com/kY4TW4x

    This picture is my storage (I'm sorry it's in spanish), as it seems not all files reach the 16GB mark all together.
    Im pretty sure that there is something that's writing stuff on my cellphone but I don't know what is it!

    Chrome Virus notifications from: chess-progress.ru

    Posted: 23 May 2021 04:19 AM PDT

    I have been getting notifications from chess-progress.ru in my Samsung the last two days. The notifications says things like "you can win a gift card" "problem in your phone, press this link to fix it now" etc. I have off course not pressed any of these links and I don't know where it comes from. When I run Kaspesky and AVG AntiVirus they don't find any virus in my phone. If I deactivate chrome it dissappear but when I activate chrome it returns. Does any one have any tips on how to get rid of this??

    I don't see this option in the baked-in parental controls, but maybe there's an app that can achieve this effect?
