i swer this android sh"t os is infuriating !!! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So for no reason i cant play video files on my android note 8. All it says is "you may not have the proper app to view". In gallery and in every other app all the videos open up apart from the app i use the most, whatsapp. I disabled dual messenger, deleted whatsapp, reinstalled whatsapp, cleared cache, clear cache from recovery but whatever i do it says it cant play the video as i dont have the approriate app even tho i have most of the latest video players installed.
Dammit my iphone was expensive, not as nice looking, and not as much memory but that phone rarely gave me any probs and did everything out of the box with ease!! If it wasnt for the dual sim i probably wouldnt eva touch one again.
Iv tried assigning defualt player to videos but the problem is only in whatsapp and havnt found a way of assigining individual files from whatsapp to open up in a specific player. iv had too many problems with android, not the fone itself but these problems are all self arising out of the blue, anyone know how to sort this as i use the whatsapp for wrk. Thanks.

This a suspect post unless you tinkered with it... It shouldn't be doing that especially since you didn't even try rooting it and it's on stock untouched firmware have you tried a factory restore

Hi, i did root it with magisk but that was ages ago and everything was functional, it really did arise out of nowhere. Theres no tinkering involved aside from rooting and the root wasnt very helpful as nowadays alot of apps are rootless. I stll am trying to figure out what to do to get whatsapp to aknowlegddge the videos. yea its on stock no custom rom aside from root everything else is stock. All i need is somehow to edit a configuration file which i think tells whatsapp to direct it to one of the installed apps.

tried uninstalling and reinstalling, also if ur refering to media storage from recovery i have a huge amount of info on the fone.
Apparently switching the dual messenger feature on brings about this problem, the stock dual messenger app. Ive deleted it but prob remains.

[Q] U8150 FusionIdeos 2.7.10 & messaging app issue

First I would like to appreciate the hard work Fusiondev has put into this custom built ROM & say thank you! Am loving it,so much better than stock.
I however have run into abit of an anomaly. The default messaging app seems to have persistence without the option of removing it. It also shares dialer app function of storing the simcard's pin no. thus if you attempt to kill it,it won't die but you'll instantly receive a notification requesting you to enter your pin code.
It would also have been nice if the edge/2G/3G connectivity notification wasn't tied to messaging notification sound settings,its a little odd when you have a voice notifying mp3 for messages then again you here it on edge/2G/3G connectivity notification. Can anyone confirm this issue coz I followed instructions to the letter when installing FusionIdeos 2.7.10. I used clockworkmod & didn't forget to wipe/factory reset before flashing. I also can't tell how many characters am typing in the messaging app.
Installing a third party messaging app like Go SMS Pro still fails to relieve the default messaging app of its persistence & causes message/notification duplication. Is there a fix for this issue?
Anyone pliz help! I re-installed FusionIdeos and all I get now is improved battery life,the prob still persists even after fresh download. I can't get into boatloader mode (something I later also discovered). It just displays a blue 2 @ the bottom right of the screen & I have to remove the battery to boot normally. Anyone help me.!
Have you tried uninstalling the default messenger app (using a system app uninstaller)?

Infact I'd love it if you could suggest a good app that does just that coz I have installed apps alone without games & all am left with is a measly 57MB. How would one untie the edge/2G/3G notification tone to the text messaging notification tone?

You could try this app: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.danesh.system.app.remover&hl=en (always works for me). You could just try changing the message tone.

Let me see, where do I start. Alright that app means serious biz. I played around with it and it cost me my keyboard hence wasnt able to post here until now. As of now I have been through CynogenMod 7.2 found that it cant surf the net, has no list of APN list and now am back. When I used system app remover to take out mms.apk (messaging app) it went with the system keyboard. It was extremely persistent in giving a "force close" error right until I rebooted the phone. So I flashed CynogenMod 7.2, realized it cant surf then looked for an online pc and had to download a third party keyboard.
What effectively happened was my system now has alot of free ram instead of free space, its very fluid in performance especially with Go laucher Ex effects all enabled. I really wish there could be some FusionIdeos update separating all this ties within the system. I believe the reason why this ROM is so big is because of the language packs coz the CynogenMod 7.2 ROM left me with 142MB to play with but this one does only 67MB as of now. Is there anyway this language packs can be removed? I still cannot boot into bootloader mode
Bump, anyone?
Bump!
I know there people who can help even @ this time of the year. I could use some help here.

Yes I am able to.
As for (power+red+vol.down), what happens is, the phone reboots then remains in a sort of an idling state where nothing is happening,I have been reading around and now it seems that is what they call bootloader mode,if that's it then yes. Probably its idle coz there isnt a zip to update to. Is that right? I also read in some forum that you can flash clockworkmod recovery using bootloader mode with a custom zip but only in Evo,havent found for u8150-D yet.
I believe I can get more freespace if I can remove the language packs that I dont need. Know how?
How can I remove the language packs that I dont need from this ROM?
Da#n!!
Bricked my phone again!
I may a noob going through puberty (brick-phone stage) trashed my recovery menu, trashed my rom and ram, but am not interested in building a dynasty of expensive brickhouses (deaded ZTE blades,U8800s,U8150s......)
My phone is up & running once again, so
Bump!
Considering the heading of this topic, I would say that my problem has been solved by simply removing the default messaging app, therefore this topic can be bagged and tagged. Link2SD also solved my space issues dramatically... even my launcher 10MB is auto linked 2 sd and works flawlessly!

[Q] Instagram blocked my device

Hi!
I have a problem.... Instagram have blocked my device. Not my account, because I can log in to it from other devices or via the web, but I can not login using my device or even create any other accounts...
I have rooted S3 with 4.1.2... But I don't want to reset my device to try if that works... I don't even know if that would work?
On iOS there is an option of chaining some kind of keychain file... is there something similar on Android? or there is other options?
Thanks
Have you tried uninstalling it and resinstalling?

OK... after trying all kind of stuff... even switching to other Android ID using Titanium Pro did't help... so, the olny way I found was reseting device to factory state.
But if some one finds other solution, it would be great if you cold share with us.

nop... There is an solution, but it`s crapy...
I restored the device several times- installed other rooms and so one... They are not bloking the imei, but they are having some file on the phone, that includes the info about the violetion.
So the option is to reset the device to factory settings, install instagram,, opne it... Hit the Sign in button and then go to RAM clearing options- clear RAM memory and switch back to Instagram, but be sure the screen is where you must sign in the username and password and vuola... your in... After signing out, you must do the same thing when you need to sign in with other account or other one or creat new one... as soon as you pres sign in button- clear RAM and then sign in.
at the moment it`s the only solution I found, but have not been seeking for the option to find the file which is responsible for the info about the violetion.

still I'm really curious where instagram get's the information about being blocked from, since I changed my Android ID, even created a new Googleaccount and reset everything. The app "LBE Privacy Guard" says Instagram doesn't check the IMEI, but I'm not sure about that.

Now, I have solution about this after instagram make me confuse for a couple of weeks.
I tried this on my Android Device (SGrand2), just install app called IMAGINE for Instagram. You can google it. Or i recommend to download from onhax web with search keyword "imagine". (sorry i still can't post link)
Once installed you can login from that app not from instagram official app. And the good news, you also get some new features there.
Thanks! Hope it can solve your problem.

Youtube links dosn't work

When I try to open video from facebook it dosen't work.
I tried to reinstall youtube app.
What could be the problem?
Get rid of the Atrix and switch to a dummy phone.
Sorry, but that's what you get for asking for help but then failing to provide even the most basic device/system information.
what do u mean by basic info....Its astrix device, what do u need more?
In order to understand your problem and to help you, we need to know what Rom / Kernel you're running, which version of the Facebook and YouTube app you use, what happens when u click the URL etc.
Suggestion: try cleaning data of both apps. I suppose it is the facebook app, so maybe it is an older version and updating will do it.
I have the latest version of all the apps. I tried to clean the data it didn't help.
Kernel and rom are original. when I click the link it opens the browser and then youyube app and fail to lunch the video...

I suppose you checked that it isn't the video and that you can launch the video manually in YouTube, right?
Then I really don't know except if it isn't the YouTube app that's launching. It could also be the Flash player and you have to clear its data or update. Search in your app list for all apps that look like a video player, I can't remember how the blur Roms handled video playback...
Another idea, I don't know if cleaning data doesn't do this already, but clear the defaults of both apps and try again, it should ask which player you want to use (damn is it really so long ago that I used Gingerbread, I can't remember anything that isn't holo)
Any other ideas?
Factory Reset or root and another ROM will always do the job xD.
Other than that, maybe try another browser...
The question is if this is really worth it, you can still just copy the link

MOCALite and other apps I can't disable

Even though I think I disabled the Mocalite app , when I go to Manage apps > Running apps , it;s still there and force stop is required.
We need a root. I like the phone as is , I just don't like pre-installed apps that can't be stopped or removed.
Anyone know what this app is? We can uninstall via titanium backup because it seems to cause some wakelocks, but I have no idea what it is or what it does.
did anybody figure out what mocallite is? i saw it today and wanted to delete it, but i bricked my first ham2, so i learned to be a little more paitent.
MOCALite is said to be " a built in software by Huawei to view Office documents like word, ppt etc "
Thanks for the reply. How did you find out this info?

Hehe, I read that from chinese forum, there is no official answer yet, and another answer is "MOCA Lite" which maybe huawei multi-media client. As Huawei is a memeber of MOCA (Multimedia over Coax Alliance). Since we have recovery now, so feel free try to disable/delete them.
Hi, I force stop my mocalite. N clear my cache on it. Would it affect my phone? How can I reinstalled it back?

Force stopping and clearing cache won't uninstall Mocalite, so it is still on your phone.

Yes there is. Make sure you have updated to the latest ROM (EU is B380)
1 - Backup all your stuff with Huawei native app
2 - Factory reset and let it boot
3 - Setup your google account and nothing more. Also don´t restore any apps yet.
4 - Test incoming calls when screen is off.
5 - Setup Huawei account
7 - Install Skype and it will restore itself call and chat history
8 - Test Skype (I have problems with it but I have 2 additional devices with the same account at the same time that rings at the same time so it might be just me)
9- Install fresh remaining communications apps like Whatsapp. From my experience when you restore from backup they will bug the notifications, so it´s better a fresh install while just restoring the chat history from backup.
10 - Setup maximum priority for communication apps notification
11 - If you feel it´s necessary you can also set those apps not to be closed and be automatically launched at startup.

No,
just open Telephon Manager
Enable Notification Manager and then check the config
you also have to allow the apps in autostart manager
and protect them

It's probably cuz these are third party apps
It's from Play Store.
I also tried with b170 and b360 update. I dont have the notification problem in my Honor 7 Indian Version..
Most notification problems comes from restoring those apps from backup.
If you just install a fresh app after factory reset and then ONLY restore app history (if needed as Skype doesnt need) you shouldnt get any notification problem.
Well phone is new, there is no any backup. I tried factory reset, same problem. I am waiting 14 days for huawei unlock code, i will root phone and then move apps from data/app to system/app, that should solve the problem. I am on EMUI 4.0.1 so that's all with marshmallow, everything else is working ok.
