Google has probably, without your knowledge, sideloaded the Android Device Manager onto your Android phone by now. This applies to almost anyone who owns an Android phone -- any handset running at least Android 2.2 and has Google Play installed will get it. The announcement was made on Android official blog here.
To activate it, go to Settings > Security > Device Administrators and tick Android Device Manager, allowing it to do anything it wants. You can then, from any Web browser, locate your phone via the Web interface. Other features include being able to ring your phone at maximum volume when you've misplaced it, but know it's near, or erase your phone if you've lost all hope of recovering it.
This sure helps if you've lost your phone, or worse, if it was stolen. You could potentially get close to the phone using the locate feature, sound the alarm and get ready to chase down the thief. If he runs too fast for you, just erase the device completely to keep your data safe.
With Android Device Manager, Google gave basic functionality -- a lot like Apple's Find My iPhone available for iOS devices. If you need more, you can always check out Android Lost, the incumbent king of remote phone location and destruction, allowing various levels of device access and control.

Hello,
I have a Motorola Backflip that is running standard Android 2.1update1. My carrier is AT&T. I have not done any mods to it or anything outside the normal user stuff - no rooting, no additional OS tweaks.
I have had the "Contact Quick Tasks" working just fine for the past year or so. Over the weekend I went to use my phone and the Contact Quick Tasks were there with no problem. Less than an hour later, I went to use it again, and my Contact Quick Task widgets all cleared their information and looked like this:
{

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Obviously they stopped functioning at all. I didn't do anything to the phone in that hour. I've searched several forums, including the Motorola forums, and found no answers but several other people with the same problem. There were a few suggestions of removing Task-Killer apps, but I don't have any Task-killers on my phone.
Phone Model: mb300
Carrier: AT&T
Location: United States
Operating System: Android 2.1 update 1
Motoblur version: Blur_Version.3.0.1390.MB300.ATT.en.US
I'm willing to do a factory-reset on the phone if that will fix it, but I am reluctant to go through the hassle of doing so then reloading all my information / apps on it if that's not going to fix it.
I've obviously had several people suggest rooting the phone but I cannot afford to risk it bricking, which I've read the Backflips are incredibly prone to doing. I can't afford to replace it and I can't afford to be without a phone. Any suggestions for fixing it or how to get it to work again would be very appreciated.
I had problem with accidentally updating my Oreo 8.1 SGS9+ to Pie while being modded with Swift Installer. It failed. So I had to flash stock Oreo rom with Odin to get it working. I did a factory reset to get it running because it couldn't optimize apps.
On clean Oreo I tried to restore my old progress by logging to my main Gmail. As it always worked on all my devices in the past. But FML now everything refuses to work.
When I tried to log at the welcome screen and restore data from the old device (same model same system) NOT create new it shows something like this

which is not true, look at my drive -
I'm looking everywhere for a solution as I can't get past welcome screen and i won't create new (exactly same) device because I don't believe at all that Google won't overwrite the data I NEED.
Google support is also on top of **** - https://support.google.com/drive/answer/6305834?co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid&oco=1 by manage they understand DELETE.
What should I do. I even flashed lineageOS 15 as i thought its Samsung fault as its also based on oreo 8.1
Please help.
I have skipped the welcome screen to add account and see what will be restored. NOTHING no call logs, SMS, calendar, and of course no apps. Play store sees only 10 random apps when I can easily" count on my fingers" to 50
It's been many years since Ive rooted a phone. I was contemplating buying a phone that could be rooted and I wanted to use it on pokemon go. After seeing some of the crack downs lately by Niantic I'm wondering if its even worth it? Is it becoming too difficult to play pokemon go with a rooted phone?

Actually Niantic - the game's developer - detects any efforts you made to mod device's Android OS / root device's Android: they silently scan your device's internal storage while looking for very particular file names - for example su - or extensions & folders. Thus they now even among other changes detect Magisk and block Pokémon GO accordingly, you'll get

Also an installation of TWRP gets detected and Pokémon GO will be blocked.
Hi guys!
Thanks for having me.
I'm looking for an APP or method that will power on my Rooted S8 when power is applied to the charge port.
Can anyone help or suggest?
I am using my S8 as a data interface to the computer in my car and want the phone to AUTOMATICALLY turn on & off when the car does.
I have successfully rooted my S8 via TWRP and loaded Magisk, am running Noughat/9.0
Any suggestions or help very much appreciated.
**NOTE: S8 doesn't run a boot loader I believe so that hack wont work on my phone **

How to set your Android tablet to turn on when connected to wall power.
Our new Gen2.0 tablet kiosk plaftorm supports many different 10" tablets including most android tablets.

Hi....Universal Android Root is another application accessible for Android gadgets that allows you to root your gadget without a PC. In contrast to Methods 1 and 2, the application isn't unreasonably well known and it probably won't work with some Android gadgets. That being said, if Methods 1 and 2 didn't work with your Android gadget, maybe this one will.
As the application is old, it should work with more seasoned Android gadgets and firmware forms. Like Framaroot, this application likewise includes an underlying alternative for unrooting your gadget. The application can establish upheld Android gadgets in five to seven seconds.

Hi
Im the same guy who made this post a few months-
Now, Im trying to get rid some bloatware that añsp could be used in malicious way like _
Dex. An attacker could do whatever on the users laptop and the guy wont even notice. Settings is showing as dual app even tho ive never touched dual apps.. i guess this happens once you open dex for the first time
So, any simpl.istic way to compltetely get rid of DEX and Bixby Routines?
The elephant on the room here is that google assumes any random google account logged in that tablet. OWNs the tablet.
Ofc this could be done by having good google security passwords on the google account. Enforce tat!
Or ask us if we reeaaaalllly wanna execute those random rutines someone just sent to is throw wifi

Use a Package Disabler or adb edit to kill them.
I disable both.

I need to completely get rid of those normie features. Tell me which files I have to delete do it doesn't work at all.
This is what's on my N10+/Pie variant.
You might want to keep Bixby Vision though if you have it. Used for reading barcodes etc.
Not sure if it's dependent on any other Bixby apps.
