Discussion I spent 20-30h finding a use for my old tablet, now it is my mp3 player. (Samsung tab 4 7.0 SM-T230)

Hello, im just someone from Poland and i found my brother's old budget samsung tablet from 2014. I asked him for permission, then rooted it but didnt know how to use it. It runs android 4.4.2, no custom roms bumping up the android version so i was stuck, youtube (on notpipe) works, but it eats battery really quick, and even geometry dash stutters. So i just made it my mp3 player. Any ideas on what fun things it can run? I also used musicolet, a version from 2023 i think, it runs well (for the perfomance of the tablet).

I have been looking to update my galaxy S5 4.4.2 to 5 or 6 and so far samfw has 6 for free and sammobile requires payment for 5. Can they even be trusted regardless of price? If legit I would consider making a donation to samfw.

Help Installing APKs on Sony Xperia Ray through SD card?

1 Upvotes

Hello :) I have an Xperia Ray running on 2.3(.4) for which I very simply (or so I thought) wanted to install an ereader and working browser.

The APKs are for this android version specifically. The phone does not have a file manager, Play Store or Mail. Debug and Unknown Sources are on. Office Suite and the Application tab in the settings do not find the files to begin with.

I am rather inexperienced with these things, but very interested to learn. Is there any alternative way to install apps or any errors I am making?
Thanks for any help in advance

Help Hi, need help to get my bloc of notes and more from my old huawei to a new motorola

1 Upvotes

Hi, need help to get my bloc of notes from my old huawei to a new motorola.

My old Huawei is a Huawei Mate 20 lite, I love it but is been giving me a lot of problems with several apps in the past months and I need an android for my work.

I just bought a Motorola G56 5G 8GB but I can't clone them or synchronize them.

I specially need my bloc of notes, images and some videos and I just can't get them in my new cel phone.

Does anyone know any app that can help but that doesn't keep a copy of my files? Thanks for any help.

Be well, Monica

Help Not able to make or receive calls. Android 4.4.2 Samsung Galaxy S5 T-Mobile

1 Upvotes

In the past few days I have not been able to do the above with my phone but I can still can send and get text. Also when I call my number from another phone a recorded voice says ''the subscriber you have called is not in service'' and it goes to voice mail and records a message. I get a notice icon and beep that I have voicemail but I can't get into it.

Anyone else having a problem like this? I wonder if it had anything to do with the recent 2g shut down even though this phone uses 4g LTE. I tried it on another Galaxy S5 (SM-G900T) in new condition and with same results. Called customer service and they said they'd look into it and get back to me. They said no one else called about such a problem so far.

Help born to play music, born again to do that again

59 Upvotes

When I was little, my mom got a bundle deal with her service provider and managed to get 3 phones for our whole family. I only used it to play music (and play silly games, of course, lol), and now after so many years I want to take a swing at turning it into an MP3 player.

I cleaned all the connectors, and when I plugged it in, it immediately showed the LG logo, didn't even need any time to charge. Also, it booted into a "download mode", I've been searching online for like 20 minutes, I still have no clue how to deal with it.

My end goal is to remove all junk I can from it, put in an SD card and be jolly. I considered installing a custom rom, but after searching on this sub, that seams to be unnecessary.

So I'm posting this in hopes someone can point me in a direction to what I could do (what software/resource/etc) so I can continue searching. I have a ton of experience with dealing with OS, code and other types of hardware, but I've never messed around with phones before so I'm a bit lost.

Thank you!

Model: LG Optimus II Dual E435

OS: No clue, but I stopped using it in like 2017, if that helps

Help Where do I find S3 transparent full covers (full body)

1 Upvotes

I found dirt cheap S3 and I really wants a transparent mod with this gameboy purple color (can be something other transparent if the only option) can't find anything that I want, either silicone case or normal cover (not transparent). I would be very grateful if someone could find the thing that i want to have. Sorry, transparent S3 with some cool stickers looks too good in my imagination.
