What are Reddit's favorite android apps in the category tools?

I hope someone can request an official statement about this because the overlay problem in Oreo was resolved, apps can draw over the status bar like before (I'm using an speed monitor in the status bar) but I guess they are doing it with another API? They can't overlay when the notification shade is down though.

edit: I'm using Network Monitor Mini overlaying over the status bar https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=info.kfsoft.android.TrafficIndicator

and from a conversation with Artem on Twitter he said that its only restricting touch input but they can overlay.

If you want something similar that doesn't occupy precious notification space, check out Network Monitor Mini. It can draw the network speeds on top of your screen, so you can have it sitting in the status bar or somewhere inconspicuous.

Yep! They've got an iOS app and Android app

I use this one. On the setup set Reverse mA, from battery files, record all the time (10min), and show mA in history.

If you swipe straight down rather than diagonally it wont happen.

This comes up if you do a Google search for "disable samsung s6 split screen"

Actually I just found a non root fix

XDA post

An XDA user editted this app so that it would make the mobile data toggle show up, I just installed it and it works for me. I know it seems sketch as hell to be installing random apks, but it worked for the other users in that thread as well.

You do not have to keep it installed, you can just apply the setting, uninstall, and delete the apk. Setting persists after restarts as well.

SecureTask has a force sync option, however I found Synker to be more easy to use

Install Notification History.

It starts recording your notifications after you install it, and the second you see this error message again, pull up NH and you can see what app is triggering it.

Based on the other responses, your replies, and your setup here, I would stick with AutoInput, but using point values to click something (in my experience anyway) isn't as accurate as I would want it to be.

First, after your LAUNCH NEXTURN action, I would add a WAIT action. I used to be able to get away with a 500ms wait, but some of my apps take longer to load, so you'll have to gauge it for yourself based on how quickly the Nexturn app loads.

Also, have you received any timeout error notifications from AutoInput with your current setup? That's a good indicator (for me anyway) that I need to add another second or so, or that my click action isn't setup properly/can be improved.

In my opinion, the best route to take with AutoInput is a CLICK action with an ID field type. The easiest way for me to get this info is I have a dedicated test task for the sole purpose of getting the ID of a screen's fields. Set up a separate task that launches the nexturn app, wait a second or two, then use AutoInput's "UI QUERY" action to pull the IDs of all the fields on that screen.

AI puts the list into a variable for you, so you can use whatever method you'd like/normally use to view variable values, and once you've got the ID, change the AI action in the original task to click based on ID.

Once you've finished all of that, another problem that probably occurs is the KILL APP action. I would add another WAIT action, probably closer to 5 seconds, to allow the system time to process the CLICK.

If a task setup in some degree like this still doesn't work, it may be because it requires the screen to be on. If that's the case, I've been using the SecureTask App and its WAKE SCREEN action to do this, so you would just add a WAKE SCREEN action to the very beginning of your task.

There's also this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.bmw

Haven't tried it, but it should do the same thing as accubattery. Has been recently updated, but the design is kinda old

Synchronize Ultimate: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.icecoldapps.synchronizeultimate

Also look at the relevant XDA thread.

Multiple server/ cloud services available, probably no peer to peer, for the latter I'd take a look at SyncThing: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nutomic.syncthingandroid and I believe there's also a BitTorrent alternative.

Firstly, I can help with one. You can disable the multi-view with MultiWindow Toggle for Samsung. It readds the toggle to your notification screen.

My current list of quirks are as follows (T-Mobile variant). These are from my post on XDA:

• When sharing an image from a gallery, it prompts me to either send to an Existing Contact or new contact. So Samsung makes the first app chosen when opening a new file or link the default app automatically (one of the quirks I don't necessarily prefer, but I can live with), but then add this?

• Cant share an image from gallery to someone not in contact list without adding them as a contact first. To get around you have to compose a new message in messages and then attach file.

• When in the messenger, tapping the paperclip to select an image attach from your gallery automatically sends the message. You can only select "Send", there is no attach option. Composing text before attaching does nothing and the picture is sent and your text stays in the text box. ATT variant has a "done" option.

• Opening a URL in messenger prompts you with a "the internet is scary" message warning you of URL dangers.

• Caller ID contact images for outgoing or connected calls are tiny.

• Five variants of the Note device, and the dialer is still locked in portrait mode.

• If i"m doing something, incoming calls show up as a pop up card with a double ended arrow to expand it. I can live with it, but i'd prefer full screen.

• PayPal fingerprint support gone (though not entirely Samsung's fault).

All of these things on their own are not problems. The inability to change or customer is. It feels like Apple assimilation to me. :(

Edit: Lack of always-on capacitive button lights were an annoyance I had, but I used Galaxy Button Lights to solve that.

more than likely avast causing your problem. get lookout

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lookout&hl=en

Never EVER let your phone get that hot, its damaging to your battery, if your phone breaches 45c then shut that thing off completely, your battery is massively degraded when past anything near that point.

You can download an app from the Play Store like Droid Info or All Tools (All Tools has all kinds of neat handy tools, Droid Info just gives you info about your phone) and it'll show you what architecture your phone is. Or if you wanna tell me what phone you have, I can probably look it up for ya.

It was previously OK with DS Cloud.

I have found a work around using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.icecoldapps.synchronizeultimate&hl=en_GB&gl=US. Sync via SMB.

This is probably better addressed by an Android networking subreddit, a Xiaomi subreddit, xda-dev's Xiaomi forums, or similar.

Do they have identical versions of Android installed? Identical apps? Identical ROM? Probably not, so you'd expect them to be doing different things. Try something like Glasswire Pro, IP Tools, or Network Connections on the phone. I believe they'll show you what addresses each app is talking to.

It might be interesting to see if an on-device network monitoring app, and an off-device packet sniffer (eg. Wireshark on your LAN) identical lists of addresses your phones are chatting with.

They do have an app for android! but i rarely use it, not from the US tho so i can still use WeChat.

edit: bruh who the hell downvoted me, they literally have an app for Android

>Looking to have my phone automatically unlock when connected to my home wifi

If you're rooted you could try the Keyguard action. If not, you may have some success with the SecureTask plugin instead.

>On a side note - I'm also looking to learn and use more of Tasker - but seeing a lot less Youtube videos about it. Is Tasker becoming dated by chance since phone OS are doing a lot of the automation? IS there a YouTuber or site you recommend where I can learn more about Tasker?

Checkout this subreddit sidebar there's alot of useful links that'll help get you started :)

Go to https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.privateinternetaccess.android&hl=en periodically and check if it's been updated.

I downloaded this App, Droid Hardware Info and took screenshots of the relevant details, such that for APK downloads I have the info on my phone.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.inkwired.droidinfo&hl=en

Looking online there's not much information about this and it doesn't seem to happen to anyone here at the office so I'm a little in the dark. If it's working but it pops up what I might suggest first is just to make sure the software is up to date on the phone so if there was any patch for something like this it could be applied.

If you do try that and you still notice it coming up it might be an app that's causing so you could look into a history app to help pinpoint where it is coming from.

I had not noticed yet Foldersync is abandonned. Damn! Although Foldersync still works here, Synchronize Ultimate might be an option. From same dev Servers Ultimate works well here, although I do not use it often.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.icecoldapps.synchronizeultimate

You could install a 3rd party anti malware app like Lookout Mobile Security and run a scan. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lookout . I know Sprint and T-Mobile bundle this with their phones so it's a trustworthy AV.

Warm can be rather subjective, unfortunately.

Maybe you can try installing 3C Battery Monitor Widget and use it to monitor the current drain when you're using the phone. It also has temperature logging, which is useful. It would be able to give us a better idea of what warm means to you.

Edit: formatting

Hi there! What platform are you on when you see this issue (Android, desktop, iOS, etc)? There's a known issue with the Android application where MACE fails under certain conditions, and we've added some additional coverage in the 1.6 beta that should resolve this. You can sign up for the beta directly through the Google Play store.

try this app, it should record Toast Notifications as well, it should show you the source

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.evanhe.nhfree&hl=en

We first need to find out if your device has an Exynos or Snapdragon processor. If you're unsure you can download this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.inkwired.droidinfo and then go over to "System" to check.

I used SecureTask for it. It's not trivial to set it up correctly (the app itself) but afterwards it's rather easy to create a plugin based Tasker profile for Wifi.

Private Internet Access is fast, inexpensive, keeps no logs, has a great adblocker and allows user to bypass certain apps so Netflix etc... Work.

A VPN would definitely help as this attack is used as MITM and evasdropping, a service I trust is Private Internet Access: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.privateinternetaccess.android&hl=en

It is a paid service.

Another mitigation factor may be stop using sensitive data on your mobile device, for example I have banking apps on my phone which I wont use until things get properly patched.

1. You need to select service mode and to enable location services
2. Secure task is the solution for this(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.balda.securetask)
3. Add an entry to enable high accuracy mode, then location - get location - send SMS with %LOC - now you can disable everything you don't need

Check this out. It's a plugin for Tasker and allows you to set or clear your pin. You just have to choose an "if" condition in Tasker, like when the phone is connected to a specific WiFi etc.

It could be downloading update in the background, syncing pictures/videos, or just badly designed apps downloading ads and the likes. iOS and Android have the required apps. Try turning off syncing during the day and only enable it when no one else is using the internet.

Or you can use this app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.hyx.app.volumenotification

You can customize it to open any volume, not just the four with the drop-down menu. And you don't have to lower your ringer volume.

> Even though Secure Settings hasn't been updated in a while, many of its functions still work for some people, especially those running older versions of Android.

So question about this - do we have a true replacement for it? I've heard of SecureTask, but not sure if it has the same breadth of functionality as SecureSettings.

For instance, I have a task that enables/disables High Accuracy locations whenever Google Maps is opened/closed. It works just fine on 6.0, but I fear I'll lose this functionality once I update to 7.0+.

You could try this app and just select Media from the notification when you want to change it. Better imo as you can still change ringer volume if you ever need to, along with any other volume.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.hyx.app.volumenotification

I imagine the enterprise price probably requires a quote. The personal version (click on the read more link for features) appears to be freemium, with an advanced feature cost of $2.99/mo or $29.99/yr.

I have an S4. I'm not sure but the game is probably draining about 2000 mA per minute. If you use powerbank or car charge this is not AC charging, it's USB charging which gives your phone power around like 500 mA per minute. And I don't know the techinal part of it but even some plug-charging would still not be enough since they charge 1300-1500 mA per minute. Use this app to check the mA you get or lose (when you open the app switch to history tab)

ps: I am not an engineer and have no idea what mA is. If something above doesnt make sense, sorry.

Xposed and GravityBox but before I flashed Xposed I used this app, it doesnt have weird permissions and worked as intended https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=info.kfsoft.android.TrafficIndicator

I've been looking into this last night/today and I found this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.bmw

I'm using it primarily because it gives an estimation of the mAh capacity of the battery. After one charge cycle (2-100%) it's estimating 1491mAh for me with ±6% accuracy (down from the original 2300). I'll try a few cycles though to see if it is consistent.

I just use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.bmw

It's powerful, gives me graphs and other advanced options, tells me how long I've been off charger, and also how much power I'm using/gaining at different times. Pretty sweet. It's one of the the first few apps I always install on a new phone, Nexus 6 included. Sorry for formatting, on mobile.

This app works on my note 4. It won't start keeping a log until after you install it, but maybe it will help you catch it the next time it happens.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.evanhe.nhfree

I bought two here. First one was a cheapy one from Ebay and was terrible... capacity was worse than my water damaged original and it got hot as hell while charging. The LG OEM label on it was so badly faked it was comical. I was actually scared to keep using it for fear of damage or fire.

The next attempt I got a Patona branded one. Unlike the ones pretending to be OEM on Ebay or Amazon they were upfront about being an offbrand. It's been in the device about 4 months (I've since switched phones but someone else is continuing to use it) and provided capacity roughly equivalent to the original when it was new, as measured by the mAH estimation tool in Battery Monitor Widget.

I would guess nothing on Ebay or Amazon advertising to be OEM is actually manufactured by LG. They probably shut down production of the batteries alltogether by now... at best there might be some old stock sitting on a shelf somewhere but an 18 month old battery won't have a perfect capacity even if it's factory sealed.

I'm using a custom rom (DynamicKat) for my note 4. It's one of the features. There is an app in the playstore that does the same thing but it's an overlay.

Edit here is the playstore app...

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=info.kfsoft.android.TrafficIndicator

> Can it be configured to work with a seedbox/private trackers?

I normally use it for public trackers, the only private tracker i have use it on is in http://www.pleasuredome.org.uk/ and i didn't have any problem, but it might be blocked or not allowed in certains private trackers I don't know.

About the seedbox, i don't understand, a seedbox is a server that downloads and seeds for you, i don't understand what you mean with working with a seedbox. If you have a seedbox you don't need a torrent client :S You simply download the finished downloads of the seedbox with ftp or something like this. They are two separate things or I'm missing something? I never used a seedbox.

> would a VPN and public trackers be the better option in this case? And if VPN is the way to go, can you weigh in on PIA?

About vpn , I have 0 experience with that but i checked and PIA has an Android Application for their vpn: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.privateinternetaccess.android but as I said I have 0 experience with that.

I'm using this to store notifications. It lets you browse through them by app.

You'll still see the notifications come in, but if you swipe it away and need to get back to it, you can always look it up here.

Use something like this app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.evanhe.nhfree

Which should help you pinpoint which app is creating the toast.

Take a look at this android app. You can check live upload and download speed on you screen, at any time.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=info.kfsoft.android.TrafficIndicator

I uses this app

Go download Droid Hardware Info https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.inkwired.droidinfo then go into the system tab and let me know what it says beside "Instruction Sets"

This APK was built for arm64 and it works for my arm64-v8a so I'm wondering if yours is different.

Set up a notification logger to find what app it is. I use this one.

(It's also useful to read unsent messages when you already received them because the notification logger will still have a copy of the message. 😉)

And just to mention,there is another great app for synch with Tasker integration, Synchronize Ultimate. That one is able to trigger Tasker profiles on results, like when synch failed etc.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.icecoldapps.synchronizeultimate

Synchronize Ultimate looks interesting, thanks! Although, it seems a bit, mm, "bloated" for my tastes, what with all the different services it supports, as well as its other features. But if it gets the job done...

I looked at Damselfly, and I'm a bit confused about how it works. It doesn't seem to be "self-hosted" in that it's a separate program you run on a server.
Rather, it seems it wants me to do an initial index of my photos locally, copy those to my server, and it'll automatically index any new photos on my phone, which then also need to be copied to my server manually/externally?
But then, what's the "server" distribution for!? Maybe I'm missing something obvious...

Another question: the README states that you need to place .nomedia files in any directory you don't want to scan.
Do you have to do this for every directory? Or can you select only certain directories to scan, e.g. just the "Pictures" folder on my phone? Or, does it mean that I can select just the "Pictures" folder, and I can also put .nomedia files in any subfolder (of the "Pictures" folder) that I don't want to scan?

Aside from the confusion in the README (which may just be on my end), Damselfly does look quite nice; I like its AI-powered image recognition the most, as well as its many search functions.

One of the few things I'm not a fan of is the lack of video support, which is currently a dealbreaker for me. Though it seems it's on the way, which is good!

...All assuming you meant to link to this GitHub repo, of course.

There was a recent hermitcraft video about using a VPN specifically to improve performance for this reason. I use PIA VPN https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.privateinternetaccess.android and it shows me to sign into my realm. So that might be an answer to any lag.

Did you check what system you have, like ARM64 and so?

Otherwise, use something like Droid Info: • https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.inkwired.droidinfo

And go in under System, look under Processor and look at "Instructions set", to find out for what version you should download...

Or look for it directly at: https://galaxystore.samsung.com/detail/com.samsung.android.keyscafe

EDIT: My ignorant self just realized that that app might be a Samsung device exclusive - something that slipped my mind, since I didn't get it straight from the Samsung store. Sorry for that!

Hello I assume you are talking about apks. It depends on your architecture. Check this app to find your architecture https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.inkwired.droidinfo&hl=en_US&gl=US Once opened, go to System > Processor > CPU Architecture. Apkpure the oldest one I could find is V6.1.0 (armeabi-v7a + x86) On Apkmirror it is V6.0.1 (armeabi + armeabi-v7a) New devices usually have arm64 so this may work well https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/rovio-entertainment-corporation/angry-birds/angry-birds-7-1-0-release/

Note these apps have not been updated for a long time so it may not work or be optimized for newer Androids

Download and run Lookout, it'll pick up on most infections.

Either it's an older phone and the carrier is stuffing up, or you have an infection. If you do have an infection, and it's persisted between phones, then it'll most likely be either a malicious app that you keep installing, or someone is intentionally targeting you and likely has access to the phone/google account.

For a temporary workaround, you can get this app, basically you can add a tile just like other buttons (wifi, bluetooth, etc) and as soon as you click it, the volume slider will come. It's of great help.

​

(I use this if I want to control volume if phone is resting on a surface where buttons are not accessible)

Have a play with Synchronize Ultimate. I use this (in combination with Tasker) to sync a ~50GB library once a week.

Battery split off as a store app through the stupid digital well-being app.

Depending on version installed, battery estimates may or may not work or be accurate. Google's battery monitor hasn't worked well for several generations of Android anyways.

Just ignore, don't install updates, use 3C battery monitor instead.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.bmw

If you don't have a hardware usb tester, try monitoring with a battery app like 3C Battery Manager for an idea how much amperage and consistency a given cable can provide while connected to your head unit (do it with perhaps 50% battery level). If it's low and unstable, perhaps you have not found the right cable. I'm not sure what kind of cable will work better with Huawei or if it's something else i.e. if Huawei is still notoriously difficult to work with AA.

Ah great. Just for reference, BC 1.2 is what those ports with the little battery icon that are rated for charging have, usually like on the hub in the video, it's only one specific port or two. I suppose like the guy says also you need to make sure they pass data through, cause there also exist charging-only ports but I think those are increasingly rare these days.

Ampere will work in a pinch to roughly estimate how quick it's charging, though I use 3C Battery Manager cause it logs the values with the screen off. But no app is really accurate, especially with phones nowadays using different voltages. If you want accuracy in measuring amps or watts you may wanna invest in a hardware USB power monitor, they're pretty inexpensive.

I've used an app called Synchronize Ultimate that can sync to a ton of services/protocols, I think it has S3 support too.

This app will show you your notification history including the popup ones, so if you install it you can just open it once it happens again to see which app did it.

I created something similar a while back so maybe it could be of use to you. Requires the SecureTask plugin

AFAIK the 32-bit version can also run on a 64-bit phone, but not the other way around. So try the 64-bit version first and if that doesn't work, use the other one. Or find out your hardware with https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.inkwired.droidinfo

notification history. works "just good enough" for me at least.

(not sure why everyone is recommending "focus"-apps to filter out (mute) notifications - i assume you meant "logging" of notifications, like a history, right?)

For not rooted devices, You could consider using SecureTask plugin.

I have a profile, that will reset the device and delete all files on SD, if I unlock the phone with a specific fingerprint.

I think you should be able to do the same even with pin or pattern unlock...try to inspect if Logcat Event can help detecting the "fake" unlock.

Firstly NC Android app cannot sync any existing files to your server

I'd suggest testing Synchronize Ultimate

The NextCloud forum is a great resource to discover information such as this

T-Mo in the US, or Europe?

To find out which chipset you have, you can use the app called Droid Info and it will be listed under the system catagory. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.inkwired.droidinfo&hl=en

Qualcomm is Snapdragon, Samsung is Exynos.

I will explain why that method doesnt work. The DevicePolicyManager method needs a declaration of permission in the application. And tasker didnt declare wipe permission which is needed. If you open device manager setting, you will find that Tasker only has the ability to "lock the screen".

As @mawvius mentioned, the SecureTask plugin can help with wiping. Or you can write an app yourself with wiping permission declared. The solution is

I haven't ever faced an issue similar to re signing apps. I'm pretty sure this is a rare issue. There can be three issues. 1st I don't know what causes is but can be solved by deleting the app and installing the update APK afterwards. 2nd issue can be caused by lack of storage space. 3rd issue is related to the Application and Architecture of the Chipset. If they are not compatible the app does not install. As you can see like a computer there are 32 bit and 64 bit versions of hardware and software. If you are using a 64 bit Chipset Architecture (which you can find from Droid Info) it will run most apps.

I recommend you make sure that updates are from the same source or Modder. This is currently all I know and how to troubleshoot similar issues.

Instala o 3C Battery Monitor Widget, tenho a versão Pro dele há uns anos já e é bem legal, mostra umas informações bacanas da bateria. Apesar do nome, o widget é só uma parte dele, o app em si é bem completinho.

Sobre a variação, é assim mesmo (apesar de eu não entender nada disso).

If you have FolderSync and it works for you, why switch?

I personally use FolderSync because it has multiple providers, I wouldn't switch to something which didn't as I tend to favour WebDAV servers, so if I had to switch I'd probably switch to something like Sync Ultimate despite the relatively low ratings.

Well I'll just ignore the snarky remarks, to remind you (as you clearly need reminding) that PIA support is grossly slow or lacking, and posting a problem here is more likely to be helpful. it also serves as a heads up for others, who might wind up with a similar issue. Anyway, it looks like a glitch in the latest mobile app update, as indicated by numerous complaints in PIA reviews, such as:

"I use this vpn on my desktop without any issues but it will not let me log in on the mobile app. Tried relogging with the same information on desktop and it works. Mobile app will not work."

And this is definitely the case for me, as PIA runs perfectly find on my laptop, but not on my tablet. The review page is here:

Is it possible to charge at faster than 18W if you use a more powerful power delivery charger?

I'd be very happy if it could do 9v3a/27W... To test this you would have to plug it into a new macbook usbc charger for example, when it has quite low battery remaining, and then see if 3C battery meter or Accubattery report anything higher than 18W.

Thanks for this info. I found my droid info for the APK download, and it still failed. Any APK first timers like me out there - I just uninstalled all Chrome updates until the December bug fix.

Google Playstore -> Chrome -> Uninstall Updates

If you're trying to do this on a device running android 5+ you can only toggle mobile data through root. There are alternatives, but it's not guaranteed to work on each and every device.

You could check out the Custom Setting action ( you'll have to grant tasker write secure settings permission via adb) or the SecureTask plugin which also requires you to grant write secure settings permission via adb.

Yes. You can get it from APK Mirror. These are clean, legit copies of the APK. Just ID the correct version you need (you can use Droid Info to see which processor your device has), download it, uninstall the new version, then install the old (the old version will not install over a newer version). You'll need to make sure your settings allow for installing side loaded apps. Make sure you toggle off auto updating in Google Play for Plex, else you'll be right back where you are now.

When I see new versions, I install and test. If it fails, I uninstall then reinstall the version I know that works again. I keep a copy of the APK on my device for this reason. Who knows if/when they'll ever fix this. They don't even acknowledge it as a problem on their forums (but I've seen devs respond to other problems). I recommend making some noise at them. The more people that do, the more they can look into this.

What version Chromecast do you have? What is your router? What devices are you using? My only possible lead is that maybe Asus routers have something to do with it, but it's pretty weak evidence so far. Client hardware doesn't seem to matter, so it has to be the app or maybe router settings, but why it just started happening with the new versions after working fine for so long, I dunno. I didn't change anything on my end.

It doesn't really matter. If someone someway gets your file, they can't do anything with it without the password. If you are paranoid create a key file and open the file with that, store it on a usb drive. On android phones you can attach a usb drive with a cheap otg converter.

on android I use Synchronize Ultimate with this you can sync your dropbox (or any other) account to your device just like on a desktop.

I'm using Synchronize Ultimate (has Tasker integration!) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.icecoldapps.synchronizeultimate

or

Folder Sync Pro https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.tacit.android.foldersync.full

Good idea to mention your Android version and root status, etc.

(I love 'lack of disipline'|Reddit= Reddit.)

Anyways, assuming you're un-rooted, you could try:

Profile: Event - Plugin - Sleep - Dismiss (alarm)

For multiple contexts like weekdays, this should help.

Task: Plugin - SecureTask - Manage Apps - Freeze+Enable+Selected App

SecureTask may require extra permissions as detailed in the app.

~~Well first you'd create a task~~

~~Action>Display>Keyguard>Toggle~~

~~Then save the task a create the widget on the homescreen linking to the above task~~

Edit: my mistake as of android 4.4 i don't think this method works anymore. if you have access to a computer you could try Granting Autotools adb access and try. If you don't have autotools you can try securetask as a free alternative but the same procedure would be required.

Do you desperately need to use Glasswire as most of this should be achievable just using Tasker and the Network usage of SecureTask.

(Incidentally, Google also do a data usage app called Datally)

SecureTask has a working Keyguard toggle, and I even have a shell script for rooted devices to set it up:

pm grant com.balda.securetask android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS pm grant com.balda.securetask android.permission.READ_LOGS pm grant com.balda.securetask android.permission.DUMP pm grant com.balda.securetask android.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION cp device_owner.xml /data/system cd /data/system chown system:system device_owner.xml

Reboot; profit.

I was going to suggest making shutdown with Tasker instead, that runs everything then reboots, but since you aren't rooted, you'd need SecureTask.

Welcome to the world of Tasker!

Even though it's ancient, I still recommend http://tasker.wikidot.com for beginners. Some of the stuff no longer works natively, but SecureTask has lots of great features.

To me it seems like an app is trying to do something in the background.

I would recommend that you install Notification History (or a similar app) from the Play Store and turn on the option to monitor app toasts (a toast is a message that shows up for a moment like the one you're seeing).

After the message has been displayed you can view the history to see which app generated it.

In my experience with phones, random reboots are either a firmware specific problem (generally post OTA, especially with Samsung, anyway), or because there's some kind of battery health decline.

Have you done anything to test your battery health? I'm not sure how accurate the Droid Info app's monitor is, but maybe this will tell you if the health is not good:

Headphone jack AND vibration are also not working? Are you running the Android P beta preview or anything like that? I am on my Pixel 2 to fairly decent results, personally... but I know when I had gen 1 Pixel XL last year and I put it on the Android O preview, my Pixel went from having literally 0 problems ever, to having a bunch of battery drain issues and major UI problems that would make the apps shelf not work and other strange stuff that required me to restart it to fix it.

Just to isolate the problems, have you tried multiple headphones/3.5mm aux cables, or checked to see if there's lint that's preventing a connection or something like that?

In terms of the motor for vibration, kind of the same. Either the motor has worn out, or there's a software problem making the phone improperly use haptics. If I were you, I'd be pretty annoyed with the phone and would have backed up all of my files, SMS, Nova launcher settings and what not and then done a factory reset and just cut all the other stuff out first. It's definitely annoying to have to do this, but I'd say do it to be sure it's a hardware problem or not.

Lookout Mobile Security. I had it on my Samsung Galaxy J7 and have it on my S8. Anytime my phones turned off it takes a selfie, records the location, and sends me an email notifying my phone was turned off. Installing now I’m iPhone 7.

Edit: iOS

Android

Cara, dá uma olhada nesse app: 3C Battery Monitor. Eu uso a versão paga, mas pelo que me lembro quando testei a versão grátis ela é mais do que suficiente. Ele fica monitorando diversos parâmetros da sua bateria e gera gráficos sobre isso. Por exemplo, quando você está dormindo espera que o consumo seja extremamente baixo - se perceber que está algo tem algo de errado.

Agora, acho que ele não mostra o consumo de cada app (não uso ele pra isso). Mas tenho um S7 Edge (é só uma geração de diferença do seu) e se eu entrar em "configurações" > "device maintenance" > "battery" você consegue ver algumas informações legais - nessa primeira tela você vê umas estatísticas sobre o consumo por hora de cada app; se entrar em "battery usage" você consegue ver o consumo de cada app desde a última carga completa. Se perceber que tem algum app consumindo muita bateria (quando não deveria - não adianta reclamar que o Pokémon Go tá consumindo muito se você passa o dia inteiro jogando ��), dentro de "battery usage" clique nos três pontinhos no canto superior direito da tela e entre em "optimize battery usage" e selecione o(s) app(s) em questão.

Boa sorte aí.

I always believed the arrows bliked when bandwithd was used but I don't remember comfirming it. You can download apps to monitor your wifi and data usage for a while until you figure things out.

I recomend network monitor mini

You should be able to access the login portal right away as u/thelous says. If you don't see what they do I would check that you are using OUR app. there have been some clones on the app store recently. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.privateinternetaccess.android&hl=en

This app can show you your notification history.

On a side note, it seems like it was hit with a recent influx of 1-star reviews because some blogs and youtubers said you can use that app to view deleted messages on whatsapp, and then whatsapp's team corrected for that.

There is SecureTask able to change Secure Settings. I think it's free.

If you're rooted you can use Tasker Run Shell action.
