android

[Patrick Dupre]

Hello,

Sorry, this is a bit off.

I barely use my Android,
2 questions:
1) In the past I connected to the device through 
/var/run/user/1000/gvfs/
but it does not work, I also tried /run/media, but same thing
However, the device is seen by USBViewer as xHCI Host Controller but in red
What should I do ?

2) It seems that to install an app. I need to use google play
but I do not remember my passwd, and I cannot find a find to have it 
restored (it has been set 2 years ago).

Thank for your help

Alas, this is outside the scope of the Fedora mailing list.  If your 
device has a user's forum, that would be the best place to ask.  If not, 
try the company's customer service.

You can also sideload apps in Android without going through the Play
Store, though that has its risks, and is of course also outside the
scope of the Fedora list.

It's usually a gmail/google authenticated thing.  Try going to their
website for the "forgot my password" reset thing, if you can't work out
a way to do that on your phone.

It'll probably rely on you having access to the phone number you used
when you set up your account (hopefully the phone you're trying to use
now), or perhaps you may have giving google an alternative email
address for double confirmation.

Your phone has to be set for MTP mode (possibly called file transfer 
mode) and unlocked.  Then you should see an option to select it in the 
file manager.

That's not the device.  That's your USB host controller.  "lsusb" should

show it.  If not, then you either have the wrong type of cable or USB 
isn't enabled on the phone.
