Enable Call Recording on ONEPLUS | No Root Required | 100% Working

 

Call recording is a very useful feature for me at least, I don’t have to write down any information getting on the call, it’s automatically being recorded and saved in the phone that already had this feature enabled in Oxygen OS by default, but yesterday I upgraded my Oneplus 5 from Android 9 to Android 10 which was working very well.

After upgrading my phone to Android 10 it doesn’t have the stock call recording feature anymore, so if you also facing a call recording issue on your Oneplus phone, it is recommended to read this article, because I am going to write how to enable call recording on Oneplus phones.

Note: Call recording is not allowed in some countries, you must follow your country’s law. follow the instructions written in this article at your own risk.

As I have written above that I faced a call recording issue on Oneplus after upgrading it to Android 10, I tried to roll back to Android  9.0 but that also not have call recorder in it. I don’t like to install third-party call recording apps because these all full of ads.

And then spent a lot of time on the internet to get back that call recorder after this upgrade, and found how to record calls on Oneplus phones. believe it is a very simple procedure, you just need to have a computer with Mac or Windows and your Oneplus phone with you.

You don’t need to have root access to do this, so there is no risk of losing your Oneplus warranty if you have before. You can use Mac or Windows as per your choice, the process will be the same for both Mac or Windows, let’s get started.

Step 1: Go to your phone Settings > About Phone

Step 2: Tap on Build Number 7 time to get developer options

Step 3: Then Go back to System, and tap on developer options

Step 4: Scroll up, find USB Debugging and turn it ON.

Step 5: Go back, open PlayStore and search “jOnePlus Tools”

Step 6: Install and open jOnePlus tools

Step 7: Go to your Computer and download Android SDK platform-tools from the Android developer’s website as per your Computer’s OS.

How to Enable Call Recording on ONEPLUSWindows:

As I’m on Windows, writing the details for windows, MAC users can follow this video tutorial.

• Extract platform-tools zip file anywhere in your computer
• Open extracted folder
• Hold down ⇧ Shift key on the keyboard & right-click on an empty area.
• Click on “Open PowerShell window here”

 I hope you enjoyed and got the call recording on your OnePulus phone, please share your experience via the comment box, if you still have any questions.

Screen overlay detected

Screen overlay is a feature of Android that allows one app to appear over the top of the other applications. Like Facebook messenger chat heads, or you may have an app that changes the color of the screen. You’ll see Screen overlay detected error in certain situations.

Unfortunately, when Screen Overlay is active, the operating system not allowed to change any permissions. This is a precautionary measure so that apps aren’t allowed to give themselves permissions that you haven’t authorized. It can get confused pretty easily, however, it can get stuck in a loop sometimes – like if you’re trying to install a new app.

This article will help you to fix Screen Overlay detected problem to stop the popup error. We have noticed that some Android devices especially Galaxy S5 showing a message on the screen that is quoted below.

Screen overlay detectedto change the permission setting you first have to turn off the screen overlay from settings > apps” or “Unable to open Gallery Go to Settings > Permissions, then allow the following permissions and try again

Q: Why this message appearing on Android Phones?

The message for screen overlay detected is presented when an installed application is allowed to draw over other apps is running in the background.

How to Disable Draw Over Other Apps feature?

To set up application permissions, disable the Draw over other apps feature for the enabled application by following these steps:

• Open Settings
• Select Apps
• Tap the Gear icon
• Select Draw over other apps
• Select the application that is running in the background
• Turn Off Permit drawing over other apps
• Close and re-open the application
• Set the application permission

Once the application permissions have been set, the Permit drawing over other apps may be re-enabled.

Fix Screen Overlay Detected via Safe Mode

Fixing screen overlay detected problem via safe mode is the last solution if the above method not working on your phone. In my case i have tested on Samsung Galaxy S5 Android 6.0.1 this method works for me. Just watch the full video tutorial for how to reboot android to safe mode and fix the screen overlay problem.

How to boot Android into Safe Mode:

1. Turn off your Android device
2. Hold Volume Down button and Power on. (You need to first press power on in some android devices then press and hold volume down)
3. Hold volume down until you see Safe Mode in the lower-left corner.

Follow this video to understand how to fix screen overlay detected:

If still unable to fix try to follow the steps below to fix the Screen overlay detected.

1. Scroll down from the top of the screen and select the Settings icon.
2. Scroll to the bottom of the Settings page and select Application Manager
3. Tap the top right 3 dot menu button, and select Apps that can appear on top
4. Select the top right 3 dot menu button again, and then Show System apps
5. Use the toggle on the right to switch off every app in the list.
   (It is a long list! The only way to be sure is remove the permission from every app that could be causing the error.)

These steps will resolve the issue most of the time – there are situations where something else is interfering, and switching off every app is only half of the solution. you can visit Samsung’s official support page to step by step screenshots.

There are several apps that can cause this problem; “boosting” or “cleaning” apps are usually the culprit – but have a think about anything you might have installed recently that might have started the Screen Overlay detected popup. The solution in this case is as simple as Uninstalling the app from the phone.

If you still have not solved the problem please write in the comments, share your success story also by writing in the comments. this will help other people also like you. follow Us via social media for more useful articles.

Quick Charging Technology | 0-50% in five minutes

Qualcomm Quick Charge 5 technology is the number one method for fast charging these days. Quick Charge 5 technology is the world’s Fastest Commercial Charging Solution, the fastest charging speed ever discovered, charge up to 0-50% in five minutes.

Quick Charge introduced by Qualcomm, Quick Charge is a proprietary technology that allows charging battery-powered devices quickly, primarily mobile phones, at power levels exceeding the 5 volts at 2 amps, thus 10 watts allowed by basic USB standards, while still maintaining compatibility to existing USB wires.

Quick Charge is supported by devices such as mobile phones, and by some chargers; both device and charger must support Quick Charge technology, otherwise, Quick charging is not attained. It charges batteries in devices faster than standard USB, allows by increasing the output voltage supplied by the USB charger, It prevents the battery damage caused by uncontrolled fast charging and regulating the incoming voltage internally.

BUYQualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 charging technology, supports most of the mobile phone brands, such as Samsung, Motorola, LG, Huawei, Xiaomi/Redmi, Asus, etc.

The elevated voltages allow for pushing higher amounts of power (wattage) through the cable’s copper wires without further heating them up and risking heat damage since the heat in the wire is solely caused by the electrical current.

Another benefit of the elevated voltage, as described in Ohm’s law § Other versions, is its improved ability to pass through longer USB cables due to its compensation of voltage drops from wires with higher resistances.

Quick Charge 5:

Quick charge 5 is the latest & fastest technology, developed by Qualcomm till today, before this it was known

• Quick Charge 2.0: 50% in just 30 minutes or less (Official video)
• Quick Charge 3.0: Charge  1% to 100% in 17 minutes
• Quick Charge 4: Five minutes of charging, five hours of battery life
• Quick Charge 5: Charge up to 0-50% in five minutes (Official Promo)

VOOC vs Quick Charge Technology:

VOOCCharging: So many companies have their own competing fast charging technologies, like MediaTek Pump Express and OPPO VOOC, OnePlus as Dash Charging, these all increases the current rather than the supply voltage to reduce heat from internal voltage regulation, but relying on thicker USB wires to handle the current without overheating, Source: VOOC Technology.

Quick Charging: Charge batteries in devices faster than standard USB, allows by increasing the output voltage supplied by the USB charger, It prevents the battery damage caused by uncontrolled fast charging and regulating the incoming voltage internally.

To use Quick Charge, both devices the host (Charger) providing power and the receiving device (Mobile Phone) must support quick charge technology. In 2012 the USB Implementers Forum announced that the USB Power Delivery (USB PD) standard had been finalized, allowing for devices to draw up to 100 watts of power over supported USB ports. This new technology was first used in a Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 prototype that charged from 1% to 100% in 17 minutes.

Note: *Number one based on Qualcomm Technologies Research based on review of available Quick Charge devices and accessories against other fast charging technologies.
**Quick Charge is designed to increase the battery charge of a device by up to 50% in 5 minutes. Actual results may vary depending on device design.

What is an eSIM and How it works

  

In this post i will try to explain What is an eSIM and how it works, so if you want to know about eSIM you can read in this artical it totally about eSIM and it’s functionality. In recent 2017 Google and Apple brought the eSIM into the spotlight by including it within their latest product launches.

The eSIM gives us an improved and more secure customer experience, better designed devices, opens up new market opportunities for operators and enables entire new categories of connected devices. Let’s explore it in a little more detail.

Please bear with us for the next few paragraphs, as we look back in time.

SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) cards store network-specific information used to authenticate and identify subscribers on a cellular network and for the last 30 years have consisted of a physical card containing the chip which has to be inserted into the phone.

You may know or not, but in 1991, the SIM card that you inserted into your phone was the equal in size of a credit card! In the intervening years the size of the humble SIM card has dramatically reduced.

SIM Card sizes from last 29 years

Mobile phone manufacturers continuously strive to make smaller, slimmer and lighter devices with more features, space is at an absolute premium. Even the humble headphone jack is starting to disappear to save precious millimeters, though the cynics among us may say that is to up-sell wireless headphones.

Surely the Nano-SIM, which at 12.30 mm in length and 8.80 mm wide is small enough? Yet, as an industrial designer, you have to remember that it’s not only the size of the SIM card itself but also the space taken up by the associated internal hardware (SIM Card Socket) and circuitry that needs to be accommodated. From many years, manufactures have had to design and accommodate the physical SIM card via SIM card trays or other internal slots. In the quest for more durable and waterproof phones, the more ingress points that can be removed the better.

More important, if you want to change network operator either after your contract has ended or you are traveling on holidays, you have to go and avail a new SIM Card. In certain parts of the world, that’s easier said than done.

It’s all changing though. In the last few years Apple introduced the Apple SIM for use in iPad and as we led with, Google and Apple has included an eSIM as part of its new product launches.

What is the eSIM?

The eSIM/Embedded SIM, or as it’s more formally known, embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card (eUICC), is smaller again at 6 mm in length and 5 mm in width and is soldered onto a device motherboard at the point of manufacturing while having the same functionality as a removable SIM. It has M2M (Machine to Machine) and Remote Provisioning capabilities. Now a GSMA standard, it wont be long before we see the eSIM become standard in other top tier handsets from Apple and Samsung, quickly followed by the others.

Remote Provisioning capabilities within the eSIM standard provide us with an enhanced customer experience of phone management and activation. From phone settings we can select operator and plan we want and that’s it.

An additional consumer benefit that we’ve heard discussed is that the eSIM should ensure future devices are cheaper to manufacture. Passing the cost saving to consumers, of course is a whole different story and it may not happen at all.

For more information please watch GSMA official video about eSIM.

Consumer benefits:

• Simpler device setup without the need to insert or replace a SIM card;
• Devices that can operate independently of a tethered smartphone, with their own subscriptions;
• A range of new, enhanced mobile-connected devices.

The future of eSIM

The eSIM is the future but it will not happen overnight, look at your phone now it’s still got a physical SIM Card, and will still need one when you pass it to your kids, other family members or sell it. Google used eSIM In the Google Pixel 2 and Google Pixel 2 XL only used for Google Project Fi and thus it has a physical Nano-SIM card tray for all the other operators currently.What is certain though, given the time it will take manufacturers to include eSIM’s as standard, operator adoption and the life-cycle of current devices, it wont take another 29 years before we’ll see the physical SIM card consigned to history once and for all.

My Phone works but screen is black, this may be your question also that i will try to answer in this post. so if you have blank / black screen problem in your Smartphone or you are working as a Smartphone technician, this post may help you to understand and fix black screen problem.

Why some phone shows black screen?

If a Smartphone stuck on black screen (Nothing on screen but phone is able to receive calls and messages) Blank / Black screen fault in a Smartphone can be appear due to many reasons but some of them will be describe below.

1.  System failure (System problems / errors that affect the display of your phone).

I will try to write some details about these three reasons one by one, you should read all or any of them which you think most relevant to your problem. but if you are cellphone technician then i will suggest you to read all post because, different type of reasons we facing on different phones.

1- Black screen fault due to system failure:

Black Screen Fault on a Smartphone Due to System Failure: If the phone works just like usual. It still can receive calls, messages, chats or any notifications, but the screen is black / blank maybe that’s caused by some system problems / errors that affect the display of your phone.

We noticed in some phones with black / blank screen faults, sometime if any system or installed application goes crashed due incompatibility or any other reason then it can be a cause of black screen fault on a Smartphone.

Fix blank / black screen problem due to system failure?

Here are some solutions that might help based on my experiences: Remove protector and check the screen is it normal or broken. if screen is broken then it should be replaced with working display unit to fix black screen fault, if it looks normal then follow the steps below to fix blank / black screen fault on your phone.

1. If you have a phone with remove able battery, remove battery from your phone and wait 15-20 seconds, then insert battery into phone and try to power on.

2. If you have a phone with non-remove able battery, you will need to reset power of your smartphone using buttons combination. some devices come with a little hidden reset button that can be pressed using a needle, but most of devices with non-remove able battery can be power reset using button combinations, you can see different methods for different brands below.

Samsung:

If you have a Samsung phone you may need to press and hold [VOL-] + [Home] + [Power Button] at same time for 15-20 seconds.

2- Black screen problem due to disconnection

Black screen problem due to disconnection board and display unit / screen can be found when display unit and board connection lost due some reasons like dust in connector, open connector due to falling down and due to damaged connectors on board or lcd flex. because most of Smartphone comes with fix battery and hard to open, you should check and understand what you are going to do before opening phone.

How to fix black screen problem due to disconnection?

To fix black screen fault due to disconnection in display connectors we need to open phone, so be very careful because smartphone disassembly in little bit risky and tough. always disconnect battery first after opening your phone, then start your work.

Open your phone and check LCD connector it may be dusty or opened, clean dusty LCD connector using CTC, MBC or whatever you are using to clean smartphone boards. I suggest you to use Falcon 530 motherboard cleaning spray.

Check all points of both connector using magnifying glass and resolder if you see any open point due to any reason. then reassemble your cellphone, it may be ok now.

3- Black screen due to damaged display unit

This part is not very simple as we think, i used damaged display unit term that can cover all problems from display unit / LCD. I will try to write some conditions hat can cause of black screen problem on a smartphone.

1. Broken display unit, that is very simple to understand if LCD unit is broken from front but sometimes display units break glass from back corner that not visible from front investigate the display unit carefully, remove protector from screen if you feel any difficulty, if found any breakage then replace it with new one.

2. Liquid damaged display unit, this is little bit hard to understand when liquid gone dry, but if you have experience before then you will easily understand liquid damaged display. You can try to clean and dry if it works then good if not then tou need to replace display unit to confirm.

Fixing Unknown caller name ACR Call Recorder

In this post i am going to share how to fix unknown caller name problem acr or all other call recorder applications for Android after Google has denied phone number access permission for all call recording android apps. We are receiving lots of requests about it from our customers, that they are facing unknown caller name problem from few months.

You can read more in this post about why recorded calls are being shown as unknown caller in every call recorder application for Android?

Full Working ACR Call Recording App

This is Google's policy and only applies to the Google Play store. they are going to release fully functional version of ACR called "ACR Unchained" on other app stores such as Huawei and Samsung and keep required permissions for accessing phone number during the call. Unfortunately Google Play Store policy prevents them from providing direct apk downloads from their website.

How to fix unknown caller name?

Because of Google have full control on Google Play and Android security is being improved day by day. Google not going to allow these apps to access phone number during calls so call recording apps developers are bound to follow Google's policy if they need to be in Google Play. but i have a solution for unknown caller name for your you today.

How it works?

As we all know that android apps developer must follow to google policies and keep apps updated as per policy changed to compliance with new Google policies. But in this case we know that previous versions application was working well. so we can find old version of call recorder app or any other app before the current version which is not working for us due to some changes in in application.

Android apps developers can't leave Google Play store because this effect directly their earning from Android applications. Let suppose someone made a best application and selling directly from their website, will this work for them. no this will end up with failure because 99% people prefer using free applications including me. so developers earning are totally depends on Google Adsense ads, so they are publishing apps on Google Play to get maximum downloads for their apps.

Installing working version of call recorder app

So we are also going to install old version of ACR apk to fix unknown caller name problem due to changes in new version of ACR apk. Before we move forward we must have downloaded old version of ACR application. if you still have not downloaded the application.

[Video tutorial will be here soon]
