Hi guys,
I was just wondering if anyone out there has already thought of this or if this is even possible.
First off, I have no clue where to send suggestions to google, and I doubt they respond anyway so the best hope for this would be a community effort.
The Situation: (no Jersey shore jokes please) Well we're all annoyed by the rampant abuse of the Market by certain companies releasing and updating their pointless fact based apps, and that makes the whole "Just in" option useless.
We only have "Top Paid" and "Top Free".
Basically, the Android Market experience is pretty bad in terms of searching for apps though categorisation.
Proposed Solution:
What the Android Market needs is the following.
1. A Sort by Rating, Alphabetically, Date Released, Developer option (probably more but that's all I can think of now).
2. More sub-categories within the main ones. E.G Multimedia->Video Player/Music Player
What do you guys think? Is it plausible?
There have been countless discussions on this on here, other forums, news groups, Google official groups and everywhere else for that matter and in all honestly pretty pointless to talk about since Google appears to be in on hurry at all to resolve this issue.
(nothing against you, just stating facts).
you can post suggestions to android here:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/list
Try appbrain.com they do a good job filtering the nuisance apps from the just in apps.
Hey guys, I'm relatively new to the android programming scene and I'm trying out a simple app idea I have. My app idea is to be a way for people to make posts to facebook and that's it. I've got the code working but what really bugs me is how the logging in system works and how the posting system works. The way I have done it, the app does not handle the authentication flow nor the posts, but rather a pop-up comes up and asks them to sign in or make a post - similar to using the browser. This does not work with the design of the rest of the app along with slowing it down. I need help. I want my app to authorize the user, similar to how the official Facebook android app logs people in; there are no pop-ups and everything is handled by the app (same to be done with making posts). If you guys could help me out by blatantly telling me what to do, sending me any articles that explain how to do it, or any other help I would appreciate it. Thanks!
NOTE: I have glanced around the Facebook developer site and I'm completely confused by their documentation. I know there's something about fragments, but I'm not sure if I understand it completely.
Okay guys, I found this thread at Stack Overflow and found the answer. In case anyone else had a similar question. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...x-send-to-the-users-wall-with-facebooks-andro
So I got this message about an hour after powering up my new moto x asking if I wanted to opt-in (enable) advanced support for my motorola device. It explained that I could ring, lock, or reset my phone if it was ever lost or stolen. I agreed, and it sent me a confirmation email. Anyone know what the url is for this service? I have tried to login to motorola website (with my google credentials) and tried a few URL's I found search around here: https://portal-moto.svcmot.com/moto-web-portal/ and https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/ . I think I'm missing something. Anyone have any ideas?
Sorry I'm coming to revive this... but I'm in the same situation right now. Anyone knows? I'll keep on looking on my own and post the answer if I find it on my own.
Apparently, it's just http://www.motorola.com/support
You just have to add it to "My Stuff" I tried like 3 times, at first it wasn't logged in (am I the only one with cookie issues in Moto's site?), but then it worked. Still a little hard to access to... Android's default Device Manager might be better for a quick tracking situation.
SECURITY WARNING!
Note: Because the last thread closed by Perseus (thanks to XePeleato who lobbied for it from Madrid and he said that "Please stop trying to write in Spanish, I don't understand a single word.") I am forced to open a new thread and in this time upload a YouTube video to proof that ALL P8 LITE HAVE A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SECURITY ISSUE.
NOT POSSIBLE TO ENCRYPT THE PHONE and I requested here: [ROM][OTA Update] ALE-L21 Dual SIM C432B574 to DELETE THE ROM URGENTLY because if more people updating or flashing the ROM more and more people will be affected very seriously.
This issue I find not just on B574 but on B564 as well.
I kindly request everyone that in the future before posting comments make a full backup on the phone and do the same what I am doing on the video below.
Here you go:
PLEASE WAIT UNTIL HUAWEI FIX THIS (or if you already unlocked the bootloader flash the stock ROM!
(Because Perseus closed the previous thread, I again need to contact with HUAWEI and ask the to keep they eyes on this thread. I request all admin and moderator NOT to close this one because it's helping all device owners and Huawei to resolve this serious security issue)
Thank you for your attention,
AndroidSecurity
All these ROMs are stock. As you can see, nobody cares. Think about not spamming here.
Sent from my Huawei ALE-L21 using XDA Labs
No one encrypts their device, not even 1% of all android owners. I dont care NSA or FBI looking at my cat pictures. So please, stop spamming these mindless posts and opening up new threads. Your previous thread already got closed because you were SPAMMING and acting in a disrespectful manner
The company that I work in use gmail for work and it requires us to encrypt our phone any other stuff to sync so I think this is a pretty serious issue.
Just because you don't use it, doesn't mean others don't too.
Hope Huawei fixes this as I don't want to use our company issued iphones.
Why... That video is so misleading... Why do you talk like if you knew exactly what's going on? This community would be really nice if people said "Help, I can't get it to work " instead of "It doesn't work", or "it's broken" ... I really have a lot of stuff to do, I am just answering to the people who actually believe that their 'naughty secrets' have been compromised.
First of all I am going to explain how does it work, and then, I'll tell you how to check if it's encrypted or not.
Android, as you may know, has some partitions, of course, it doesn't encrypt them all, just the data partition, where your apps data and internal storage live. And I can make such statement because I can actually prove it scientifically, not recording a video, here you have the original emui FsTab, Do you know what it is? Sure you do! You have been programming for 15 years, but I'll explain it for everyone else, FsTab is a file where the Filesystems are defined so android can mount them correctly: https://gyazo.com/ca9072281128b56416bb1fff9163f0c0 At line 9, the data partition is defined, and it ends with 'encryptable=footer' that means that encryption is supported.
Then, you say that it takes very little amount of time to restart, that's because the encryption takes place after that restart, at the Huawei logo, and of course, I'll prove it with a logcat, that, if you don't believe, you can check your own, as well as the Fstab file. https://gyazo.com/1b75c6835be7025169071a7ecc88df16
Cryptfs takes care of encrypting the data partition, as you can see, and then it obviously, as you proved with your video, asks you for the code. But then you say that it stops asking for the code when you change it! Yeah, it does, but it remains encrypted, because the key, or the pattern, is not the real encryption key, it's the key, that unlocks the real key, that's stored inside a cryptographically secure area of the CPU, what you do when you remove the code, is remove a layer of protection, but that doesn't stop the device from being encrypted, because, Can you encrypt it again? The answer is no. What you can do, is change the key by invoking cryptfs from the command line. Should Huawei let you change the passcode via a graphical interface? It would be nice, but the device remains encrypted, until you boot it up.
However, keep this in mind, if you change the code and it no longer asks you for it at the system start, it asks you for it at the home screen, and if you don't have the code, you can't access any file, and if you leave it without a passcode, then you shouldn't be thinking about encryption at all
Now, how can you check at home that it works? Easy, install TWRP or another recovery and try to read/write to your data partition, you'll see you can't. Another thing you can do, is run this command through adb shell 'getprop ro.crypto.state' it will say 'encrypted' of course, if you want to mess with cryptfs just run this command 'vnd cryptfs' and then whatever parameter, by the way, you can check cryptfs code here: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/vold/+/master/cryptfs.c to figure out the parameters or just google them.
Now be more careful when you see something and believe it without thinking about it.
P.S: Your thread is closed because you were unrespectful, I have nothing against you or against security, I hope you don't treat this as a personal attack, because it is not.
Encryption works on my device. Your is the only that's broken. I would suggest you go and replace it.
It's very clear that your only mission is to make everyone panic. That's why you keep resubmitting this over and over and try to stop EVERYONE from upgrading to newest version even though almost NO ONE would be affected if this issue was real.

SHOW ME A VIDEO! I REFUSING TO ACCEPT ANY KIND OF PERSONAL ATTACK IN THIS FORUM. NO ONE OF YOU PROVIDING EVIDENCE THAT I AM WRONG. ALL OF YOU COME HERE AND POSTING BECAUSE SOMEBODY CALLED YOU TO DO IT. I REQUESTING ALL MODERATOR AND ADMIN TO COME HERE.
I POSTING HELPFUL EVIDENCES THAT THE PHONE AND THE ROM IS DANGEROUS. ALL OF YOU CAN GO TO HELL IF YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO RESET THE PHONE AND DO WHAT I DO IN THE VIDEO.
I GARANTEE THAT NO ONE OF HUWEI P8 LITE DEVICE CAN BE ENCRYPTED!!!!
By the way Android 6.0 according to Google requires to enable full disc encryption.
I showed on the video my build number and everything which can be used to verify my statements. I am on stock ROM unlocked bootloader etc. YOU and ONLY you who comes here are discrediting me. But helpful comments you cant provide as I did.
I STRONGLY RECOMMEND DO THE SAME WHAT I DO IN THE VIDEO AND RECORD IT AND POST IT HERE. DO IT!! NOT ATTACK ME WHO HELPING EVERYBODY.
POST HERE VIDEO WHERE YOU SHOWING YOUR BUILD NUMBER AND DOING EXACTLY THE SAME AS I DID. NO CUT ON VIDEO!!!
THANK YOU
I am sorry, but moderators please could you ban this jerk. Everybody knows that using CAP is yelling and he continues to be disrespectful to everybody that disagrees with him, so he should sit in his room with his phone switched off and that is that. Please !

Taken from: https://source.android.com/security/encryption/index.html
Full disk encryption is the process of encoding all user data on an Android device using an encrypted key. Once a device is encrypted, all user-created data is automatically encrypted before committing it to disk and all reads automatically decrypt data before returning it to the calling process.

You obviously don't have a clue about what Full disk encryption means.
It has been proven that this claims are all false, so I'd just stop answering him and let the thread get buried, like all the other troll threads.

Being ingnorant and disrespectful will not fix any problem you think is going on in your video. Simply calm down and accept that some poeple don't have that problem and the majority don't use this function. If you wanted to warn others simply warn them and that will be that. Also android 6.0 comes with full disk encryption but one thing forgotten here is that we aren't running vanilla android MM. Also Huawei didn't force anyone into updating their firmware. We could complain if it were a major flaw but this bug does not make the device unusable. Also your ignorance reached that of global ingorance. You said and I quote "ALL OF YOU CAN GO TO HELL IF YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO RESET THE PHONE AND DO WHAT I DO IN THE VIDEO. " Religious ignorance, and just general ignorance. As of now I call for a moderator to resolve this issue since I don't have such permissions. You first try to help us and when we try to reason everything and calming people down you attack - also ignorance. Just stupidity in my mind.
Edit: And as it would seem there isn't any problem concerning our encryption.
"Doesn't matter how good of an Idea a person has, if he cannot express it and ignores help to do so, he is as stupid as the rest of us." - me.
You tested one phone and you can't say that EVERY is affected.
Also, who would call people to disagree with you as you stated that we were called to argue here? Huawei? The other guy creates ROMS - something that Huawei doesn't want to and would never work with him, especially on this little issue with YOUR phone. No one called me.

This thread is a mess and nothing more than speculation really.
You are more than welcome to open another thread, when you have substantial proof of what you are claiming. From what I can tell from this though it is just you, with 1 device claiming this.
Until then, thread closed!
Forum moderator,
Matt
If this is in the wrong place I apologize. First which devices run live aods? Im very surprised note 8 doesn't have this functionality. Second general gripes about oreo ota. 1) removed app longpress options such as "app info" etc why? 2)buried easily accessible settings through longpressing quicksettings. 3)not oreo but annoying. No dedicated live wp menu. Please add your gripes itt.
I think there is nothing to "gripe", all the complaints that you are presenting can be easily fixed or implemented by means of some app, if you read carefully this entire section, you can find many useful insights about oreo and its changes, in my case, instead of complaining or whinning, I preffer to look for solutions or fixes, but that is my opinion

too bad more people dont feel the same way!:good::good:
<Mod Snip> (profanity) are you talking about not only did oreo remove functionality it literally borked many users phones. Why on earth would you celebrate "finding apps" to work around previous functionalities? <Mod Snip> (Flaming/Rude) Also if you are so keen on fixes than LIST THEM HERE. adress the issues or you're just griping about my gripe. Plus you did not answer the main question. <Mod Snip> (Flaming/Rude)

Fair enough mod. I've been around a while and have never flamed. But I'm really at my wits end. I had a perfectly functioning non rooted device that no longer works properly after 8.0 ota. I have default alert tones, all apps had specific akert tones, ringing with no indication of what they are. Apps will download but not install without a long period of time. Badges are borked. Apps will not open from notification shade. And Ive not found a fix. Ive read even factory reset will not remedy the situation. So if your handset works, great, but it seems like piling on when you get replies like the above. Ive removed Samsung account, removed updates from google apps. Cleared partition cache and nada..

I understand your frustration, trust me. I'm having the same issues coming from the S8+ to the S9+. I also miss some of the features that Oreo seemed to remove. However, please just try not to take that frustration out on other members. If you're not pleased with someone's response, as I said, you can ignore it or if it's really bad, report it and mods will handle it. I hope you find a resolution or you could possibly RMA if needed I suppose.
Good luck!
Thank you for your polite response. Im wondering if I should start a thread if there is an oreo specific forum? Btw does S9 have the live aods?

We have the infinity wallpapers, which kinda adds a live effect to the AOD but not really lol. I think your thread here is ok as is, there might be an Oreo related thread in the guides section for Note 8 but TBH I haven't checked. It's a well known fact that Senior Mods are too lazy to read. :silly:

I only stated that is useless to complain or whine
here in XDA, about all the things you do not like about Oreo or for that matter anything related, nobody here has control or solutions for what samsung implements, or takes away, and, for solutions, YOU are the one who must look for them, I never demand anything from others
So in any regard. If you want animated AOD. Heres what you do. Why if you go to Samsung store and try to dl an animated aod it tells you "your phone is not compatible with animated aod's" is beyond me but whatever.
1) go to AOD, under Lock screen settings
2)choose clock style
3)choose style where you previously or now can choose a static pic
4) choose gif will now be an option and about 20 default gifs will be present. Choose one of those or your own
5)profit

That may be true, but as I said if you go to Samsung store and try to dl an animated aod it will at least tell me "device not supported". But I got a few cool ones from giphy.
So Im copying this here in the hopes it may help somebody. At least re. Oreo's random and unceasing notifications.
I may have found the reason. The new power saving "feature" may be the culprit. It seems to sound an alert every time it sleeps an app not whitelisted. Probably one of the stupidest pieces of coding ever. I caught a notification in the bar of like an ekg line when it happened. But get this it immediately disappears. So if you dont catch it you have now idea why you're being alerted. Go in to maintenance and switch all off or whatever you think is appropriate and it should stop. However the random vibration alerts I can't figure out. Ill get them for apps I dont have them set for but sporadically like instagram. And then on next sms which I have it specifically set not to vibrate. Hope this helps.
