General :: Deleted Some GPS Files From Phone / No Device Location?
Dec 6, 2013
I have xprivacy installed and even when I uncheck all options for Google maps and try to find my current location with it, the gps sign flashes in the notification area but never gets a fix on my location. My question is simple:
I think I may have accidentally deleted some GPS files from my phone /device location. How do I check or what files do I look for in particular (and their location precisely) to make sure that I deleted my files and its not an issue in some other place before I go reporting a bud to the developer.
And where exactly are the GPS driver/files located in the phone?

i think i deleted the wrong files and now my phone won't go back the "HTC ONE" screen. I've done the process of a recovery and then allow the red triangle to come up, from there i know i should hold power + Up, and that should take me to a black screen with blue letters, and i should select something about "partition" but this black and blue screen, i remember seeing it as a thumbnail in a folder i deleted. I thought it was an ad photo saved onto my phone as spam (as the folder was named adSOMETHING) and so i deleted it and now, i feel i have have screwed myself over. I have no way of getting another phone right now. How can i get my laptop to read my phones connection and allow me to copy and paste the files needed to get it running again?

I am running a CM11 Nightly on my jfltevzw. I am trying to update to a new nightly by dragging and dropping it onto my phone, the way I always do. However for some reason when I try to do it now, I get an error message saying "Cannot copy item: This device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected." even though it shows up on my explorer. It was working fine like a day ago. I have rebooted my computer and everything, but it just won't work.

Attempting to change my MAC address I deleted 4 files whose name where WIFI.... something. Right after that My wifi went down and the phone is no longer WIFI capable. I know that I was surfing ROOT file system but instead of copying I clicked delete.
My phone is a chinese model running 4.2.2. What i did was using Xroot file searched for WIFI and selected those files to delete. SO my guess is that I deleted not only my MAC address but also other configuration files.

I'm on a S4 (I9505) phone and a lot of media files and also nandroid files are disappering from the sdcard (SDXC 64Gb). Yes, deleted. Most probably mounting and unmounting the sdcard, or rebooting, are removing the nandroid and media files.
I've used both TWRP and Phip recoveries. They work only if I unmount the storage card and reboot. Otherwise, in the first reboot, file are gone. Some users here in xda say we need to use short backup names. But it did not work for me.
Maybe it should be solved by the ROM side. But I'm not lucky and not finding a way to get a solution, not even using different kernel versions. Changing the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission suggested in many sites does not solve the issue [URL] ..... New ROMs seems to have incorporated this solution, but the problem is still there.
I also not being able to change the permissions for the mnt folder as suggested elsewhere here in xda. The operation (even my phone rooted with SuperSu) is not successful.
External SDcard is useless if we cannot trust on it.

I need to recover deleted files from my Android Tablet internal storage folder ( /mnt/sdcard ). This is mounted like a fuse filesystem. I've run Hexamob Recovery PRO from Android Market in my smartphone and it recovered very good some deleted files from my vfat storage folders (both internal and external sd card).
But the smartphone version is not running correctly in my Motorola Xoom because it don't detect internal storage (fuse). I asked to developers about a tablet version and they said me they are working in a tablet version but fuse file system is very hard to manage. Any other app to recover my deleted files from a fuse file system?

Can I keep apps deleted from Play Store if I format my device?
I have a great app that I can't find anymore in the play store, and not just from my device it's just GONE, though I can find several copycats but none are as good as the original. The thing is, I want to format my cell but I don't want to lose this app. Is there a way to copy the app to my pc and reinstall it after I formated my device?

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7, though I've seen people post about the problem with other devices, so I think this is an "Android" problem.
I just got the tablet about a week ago, but this is by no means my first tablet, or Android device. I don't want to root or anything -- I'm happy with the stock device, along with the apps I install and the files I download to it. I've got a 64GB microSD card (also Samsung brand), formatted as FAT32, and it works just fine.
So, I was filling the tablet up with media files, and I was downloading video files to it. It has 16GB of internal memory, and I figured I would fill up a bit more than half of that with some of my bigger video files. I downloaded a few files, then figured I could download a bit more, and downloaded a couple more. Then I looked at the free memory, and it was down to 3GB free -- "whoops, too much." So, I deleted the two files, which were about 3GB together. AND THE FREE MEMORY DIDN'T INCREASE ONE BIT.
And I've been trying to "get my memory back," ever since. So, here are a couple of screen shots I can show you:
First up is the usual Storage view:
OK, so what the heck is that 3.36GB in "Miscellaneous files?" That's roughly the size of the two files I deleted, so let's go in and take a closer look:
So, it's in the "System memory" up at the top. So, what is "System memory," and what could be taking up that kind of space? Some kind of "cache" that kept the two files I deleted in memory, perhaps?
So, from here, it's pretty simple: What is in that "System memory," and how do I clear it out?
It's NOT any "application cache" -- I've used apps that clean out the application cache, but they didn't touch this "System memory."
I've tried the "Wipe cache partition" from the recovery menu, and that didn't touch this "System memory."
I sure haven't seen any apps that can do it.
Or, is having a big wad of whatever in the "System memory" pretty typical, and thus it doesn't have anything to do with the fact I deleted those files and the free memory didn't increase? I doubt that, because I've seen quite a few screen shots of the Miscellaneous files screens that other folks have posted, and I have NEVER seen a "System memory" item at the top like I have.
At this point, I'm expecting that I'm going to have to do a full reset to the factory build, just to free up this big wad of unused memory. Of course, I would rather not do that, but if I'm going to do it, it would be "better sooner than later."

I have a Galaxy S3, and I noticed that my thumbnails cache was absolutely massive. It grew to 9.6 GB in size. Using Root Explorer, I deleted the .thumbdata3 file and replaced it with a blank file. I noticed that my free space remained 550 MB. I rebooted the device, and it was still reporting only 550 MB free, but there is no sign of the 9.6 GB file anymore. The new .thumbdata3 file reports that it is 0 kb. Next, I tried deleting the .thumbnails folder entirely, thinking maybe the old file was still there someplace. I created a new .thumbnails folder, and created a new .thumbdata3 folder inside of it. After deleting the 9.6 GB thumb file, and the approximately 750 MB worth of photos that were in .thumbnails, my device still shows that only 550 MB is free.
How can this be? I searched the entire device using Root Explorer for any files or folders containing ".thumb," and the 9.6 GB file is definitely gone.
My device details:
Model: SCH-I535
Android version: 4.0.4
Build number: SynergyROM 1.7

location of the system file that determines the touch interface? What I mean is some kind of files like build.prop that has the info of touch pressure, touch sensitivity, number of touch points etc. mention the system file that determine the air view feature of note 2 and s4.
mention the system file that interchange info within phone and cellular operator? What I mean with info is something like interchanging data usage report to the operator.

As long as I have the requisite SDK files and a terminal on an Android device, or if I'm doing this programmatically in an app I'd develop, can I use adb to push a file from one device to another that's connected via USB? The devices will be a Nexus 4 and probably a Nexus 7. The N7 would be the sender, fwiw. I'm hoping that it's not required that the device executing the adb push commands be a computer as opposed to a mobile device.
I'm assuming that I can find a cable that's micro USB (if that's what it's called) at both ends to connect the two devices.
Is it possible to do the same thing via a Bluetooth connection? Or can adb only recognize a device connected via USB?

What files can actually be deleted from an SD card through the file manager? It appears that there is a lot of garbage on there but was hesitant to start deleting what I think is useless as it may serve some function.

Are there any log files that are enabled by default pertaining to 'device administrators'?
I'm trying to look up the history of when an app with associated device administrator control was disabled? (Lotus Traveler)
I'm running CM10 on a Captivate (SGS1) if that's of any consequence.

I purchased an unlocked and unbranded Samsung Galaxy S i9000 from Amazon.
After playing around with it for some time, installing all sorts and getting to know how to use it I decided I would perform a factory reset to "clean" it before continuing to use it "properly".
Before performing the factory reset I navigated to "My Files", selected delete, then selected every single folder and file and deleted them.
I then performed the factory reset.
Now I am missing 4 images which were available as wallpaper in "gallery" and probably several other files/folders.
I thought the factory reset would return the phone to its original state and reproduce any folders/files I may have deleted in the process. I thought they might be stored in a hidden "partition" or similar which I had no access to.
Anyway my questions are how can I restore my phone to its original state and which other files/folders would have been present initially but have now been deleted by me?
