Haven't tried myself, but may be editing this value in system/build.prop to "0" might help.

How to raise the volume during calls?

So my father can't hear so well during calls he has (NOT ON HANDSFREE MODE) from time to time...
I would like to know if there is anyway to raise the volume during the calls on the speaker - which is for the ear (-Not "Speaker mode\HANDSFREE")
Thanks.
Guide to boost audio! - involves editing the mixer_paths.xml
Some custom kernels allow to raise the audio levels. Using Kernel Adiutor-Mod (my preference) or probably normal kernel adiutor from the play store go to the "Sound" section and you could boost it. Not sure if stock kernel supports or not.
Also you could flash A.R.I.S.E. audio or V4A and they allow the volume to be increased.
So there are a couple different options, not sure which would be the best. Good luck!

Thanks a lot!
The major problem is the rom. The current ROM is the official one (Marshmallow atm'), not rooted and the regular recovery.
Any other option without the need of a different rom/rooting or changing the recovery to TWRP?
thanks!

You might try Phone, Settings, Accessibility, Hearing aids.I don't know exactly what it does, but it might help.

Considering the file that needs to be altered is on the system partition anything you do will require root access. No way around it.

In case I root the phone , how am I gonna raise the volume then?
you can edit the system file that controls volume, you can install viper, you can flash one of several audio mods provided by guitarhero, there are many things you can do...
but until you are rooted, there is nada that can be done to raise the built in volume levels

It is not working for me. Guess I'll be going back to root. This was really my reason to be rooted, but alas *sigh*
Edit: tried a few times, no go. I can see the change in ADB, it does change the value to 0. Still, after a minute or less it changes back to 1 by itself. Set it to 0, reboot...it's back to 1. Set it to 0, confirm at 0... Still goes back to 1 after a moment. There's no stopping that 1 damnit lol

Forgive my naivete if this is obviously not possible for whatever reason but is there a way to directly edit the APN settings via ADB or other tool/utility outside the UI? Is there a chance sammy might have just disabled the UI without restricting permissions to the values themselves. Just spit balling.
To clarify, I'm assuming "tether_dun_required 0" is an attempt to disable the authorization verification method by changing the flag to zero. Could there be some way to edit the value(s) (assuming they're APN related per the previous successful non-root tether enabling method) responsible for failing the "tether_dun_required" method?

There are other methods, but they involve editing a database file. Unfortunately, you need root for that. Possibly other ways, but I haven't found one that works outside of root as of yet.

I had tried Hotspot edit via adb and had the same issue where it would auto revert back.
I ended up just editing the telephony.db via current KNOX friendly ROOTED ROM.
I may give CDMA Workshop a try later after Nougat update is available.
Then I should be able to keep edited APN indefinitely.

hi all!! well, i have other problem. When i enter to SETTINGS, i dont have HOTSPOT menu. :/ someone can help me? my phone is Note 7 Sprint.

Running PGC and Hotspot confirmed
Greetings One & All,
I am currently using the Sprint Note 7 running PGC Unrooted, I followed the instructions provided in the first post by intenselyinsane and I not only rebooted my phone, I followed up by powering off my phone and restarting it. In both cases I retained my ability to use my Hotspot and Tethering. Like many, this is the primary reason I root my phone and can hold off for the time being until the developers are more comfortable with their rooting methods now that this is available to me.
Thank You intenselyinsane!

moving lockscreen clock

If you're on MM build you can use a Xposed module called Lock Screen Widget. With this module you can fully customize you're lock screen. Use Zooper or Kustom widget with this module. It's pretty much amazing.
I'm not sure whether it works on OOS.

So I'm assuming that you are new to android modding. You have to unlock bootloader to flash custom recovery and root.Only then you can flash xposed.
Update : Wait... You're a senior member but you're telling me that you don't know what a boot-loader is? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

In order to root your device first you need to unlock your boot loader then flash a custom recovery.You can flash SuperSU through recovery in order to get root access.
If you're not sure about what you are doing I think you should stay away from Xposed. It's a advanced method to mod your device.

What did you change, can you be more specific?
It's a few people here claiming they bricked by changing "some files", yet nobody cares to share what exactly they changed so we can all learn from it.

I moved the system app like HIVOICE from its location to an other location outside the root thats what i did
and also i had to freeze the updater app to protect bootloader (which did not create the problem but moving hivoice was a mistake)
other than that everything worked fine

Adaway is the only reason to root
As long as you don't write any permanent changes to system files or various partitions of the phone, it should be more or less safe.
Changing config files is also relatively safe. Just need to be careful about disabling apps, modifying system files, etc.
One thing i noticed when i rooted, is that build.prop file was impossible to read (usually it has 644 permissions), not without changing permissions.
Never happened on my rooted devices, but maybe it's usually the case with Huawei.

Bypassing lock screen on stock unrooted phone without erasing userdata?

Hey guys,
Is there any way to either reset the lockscreen password or to backup all userdata from a Moto G5S plus that's upgraded to Android 8.0, is not rooted, is running stock ROM, does not have ADB debugging enabled and has no custom recovery?
Most likely no, I've never had a Motorola phone before though, and I couldn't find any workarounds/utilities, but perhaps I wasn't using the right keywords.
Thanks in advance,
Lada
Hi, same problem here. My son can't unlock his Phone with password that was working yesterday Just fine. He has his fingerprint enabled and password. Fingerprint is not enough and it wants also the pass which is not working. Debugging is disabled, stock Rom unrooted. We cant even export data from it. Any solutions before factory reset?
Afaik there's mo such method because the whole mechanism would be pointless if one can bypass lockscreen password just like that.
You'll need to use some Forensic tools for retrieving data. Not a sure shot method and definitely not a cheap one as the software cost very much.
You can search and find Stellar Phoenix (or similar alternatives).

I've tried several software, but they either only worked for a select few Samsung devices, or only with older versions of Android.
I was 95% sure it's a lost cause, just wanted to ask around, see if there are any Motorola-specific workarounds or whatever to try!

I got to know that in an internship at an investigation agency. They use that software to solve criminal cases. It should work somehow but yes, may take significant time.

By all means, there must be software out there that can bypass whatever lockscreen, but I doubt it's "commercially available"
