download gravity screen on/off and set it so that it turns off when at whatever angle you put it in your pocket, and have it check the proximity sensor before it turns the screen on

Skarsnik posted:Is not having your contacts backed up to Google even possible on a modern android phone? when you first set it up it asks if you want to back up contacts and app data to google servers, you can uncheck the box and then it wont. they're checked by default tho so you have to consciously choose not to you can also go to the google account in settings and deselect the various things it syncs there

if you have root there are apps you can download (one is called naptime) that let you edit the timeout before doze starts, you could just change the timeout to 12 hours or whatever

ratbert90 posted:Lol. Hey guys, I just enabled the administrator account with no password. What could possibly go wrong? you're prompted to allow or block when an application tries to run something as root. if you allow access by malware then you hosed up and were too dumb to have rooted it in the first place. it's not dangerous if you actually know what you're doing

I'm on TMobile, so my plan is to get him a phone without service, use my phone as a hotspot and let him play that way. The only things I want from this phone are: prepaid moto e or moto g, just don't activate it. Verizon has the e for like 35 bucks. unsure if it has marshmallow tho, prolly not

marshmallow is extremely good on battery life so your phone is broken somehow. factory reset it send it in for repair or buy a moto g4 unlocked for 150 from amazon edit: this shouldn't affect you because you disabled all the google stuff but double check that now is off, it can kill battery badly

Wrist Watch posted:Considering the size of phone OSs nowadays, how much free space could even be left for anything with only 8 GB of storage? Assuming it's even possible, wouldn't apps immediately start complaining about not having enough free space as soon as you began doing, well, anything? like 3gb prolly but in marshmallow you can do the combined storage with an sd card and theoretically have it expand to 40gb total space but in practice I suspect it won't work worth poo poo

Ehud posted:Another update: Apparently uninstall_package doesn't actually disable the app. I have no idea what I'm doing. find the name of the app you want to block with: adb shell pm list packages (You can filter the results on windows by adding | findstr "TERM" or | grep "TERM" on linux / mac where you would replace TERM with the word you are looking for. This would look like: adb shell pm list packages | findstr "inputmethod" adb shell pm list packages | grep "inputmethod" "Hide" the app with: adb shell pm hide "packagename" (where you would replace "packagename" with the name acquired in step 3) Example: adb shell pm hide com.sec.android.inputmethod it shouldn't require any intervention on the phone
