Hello there,

I often see colors in the real world that I want to use in my apps or websites. I tried to find an app for capturing color codes from real things, but all the ones I found were either full of ads, had in-app purchases, or their interfaces were too complicated. So, I decided to make my own app.

My app is pretty straightforward – it helps you capture colors, organize them into different projects, and write notes for each color about how you plan to use it.

It's the ideal tool for designers, artists, and creatives, providing instant access to essential color codes (HEX, RGB, HSB) for use in various digital projects. Whether you're working on graphic design, interior decorating, or digital art, this app turns your environment into an endless palette of colors. It's a perfect way to remember the context of your color choices, from conceptual design ideas to specific client needs.

I'm still working on the app and would really like some feedback. I'm especially interested in how you find the user interface and any suggestions for making it better.

Here’s the link to the app: Color Capture - Apps on Google Play

Thanks a lot for any feedback!

I'm trying to figure out acreage of my RV lot. I've looked at few acreage calculators, but they only do square lots. My RV lot is a large triangle. Here are the measurements:

Front of lot by the road 48.7 feet
Length 125.85 feet
Width at the end of the lot 106.37 feet

Is anyone good at math to figure out acreage?

Part of an email I received this morning included the following bit:


Although thinking about it, it makes sense as part of the AI evolution; after all, Carrie Fisher was in the last Star Wars film via CG, so couple that with some AI modeling/sampling and you could talk with her anytime you like.

I’m rather disturbed by this use of AI, though it’s novel enough that I’m still reflecting on it all.

Since our name change suggests we’re all about early tech adopters, this seems a good place to discuss it.

So what thoughts do you all have?

ok just in case someone else had this happen to them. ever since the name change to the website url, i could not access the site. i thought the site was down due to the changes that has been going around. but nope. it had been flagged by my router as malicious. i had to turn off the advanced security from the router. as soon as i did that, i can now access the site.

this all happened since the change in url......curious as to why my router thought this site is malicious......anybody know? is there a way to fix it from happening again? i would like to turn that feature back on at some point.

Is there any free tool for edl mode?

My daughters Samsung Tab A is stuck in a loop. It gets to where it ask for her google email and password, we put in the only one she's used on the tablet and it'll again ask her to enter one that's been used on this device. I went into the bootmanager and did a factory reset, but it still gets to this same point and begins to loop.

Anyway to do a true factory reset without getting past that screen? Perhaps it can be re flashed with the original image or is there an abd command that will get us past this loop?

Has anyone heard rumors about a pixel 8a being produced?

What is Thinkshield? What is quickstep? Why does moto software update take up more than a gigabyte and how do I make it smaller?

Samsung have begun the roll-out of the stable Android 14, One UI 6.0 release. First to receive it are the international devices, G9**B.

It is a FOTA, (Firmware Over The Air), update and you can check... Settings > Software update... to see if it is available for you. Alternatively, you can connect to the Samsung PC suite, Smart Switch and check via that.

Software information

Hello,

I have an old Samsung Note 8 and am recovering from a painful accidental factory reset.
I have utilized and am progressing with ~partial~ backups from Samsung, Google, and Xfinity and have re-installed many apps from the Play Store.
I have an SD card that I have a great deal of data on.
Before the reset, I used App Manager III to clear caches and move as many of 250 apps to the SD card as I could, even "unmovable" ones.

Before I trash what progress I've made by manually and semi-automatically restoring my device, I am here to ask expert advice.

I am occasionally seeing a message saying 'ready to transfer media files'. I have no idea about the implications, or what that does.

Using MyFiles I can see the contents of the card.
The first folder on the card is titled Android. Its subfolders are data, media, and obb.
Inside the data folder are 571 items, almost all beginning with "com..xxx."
The other two Android folders are similar with the com. prefix, although with many fewer files.

The Documents folder has, of course, documents, as well as some .SPD files created by Samsung Notes, some of which I am interested in.
There are others like .PDF, .TXT, .DOCX, M3U...etc.
--and folders like--
DCIM/Camera (2031 items),Facebook, From Phone, Screenshots
Download (641 items)
Visual VoiceMail
Music (3333 items), System Volume Information (1 item),

Perhaps obviously, I don't want to corrupt anything, and yet I'd like to restore what I can.
I also want to begin moving apps out of internal memory and back over to the card.

I promise I'll be more diligent about backups.

Thanks in advance for your helpful advice.

PS: Since startups were taking SO long, I disabled the Secure Startup, and have not seen the 'ready to transfer media files' on a couple of startups. I'm not sure if that notification will return or not.

I've asked this question in various forms in a munber of fora. No one has been able to answer. Hope I have better luck here.
Samsung S21 / watch3
For over a year I've been having a LOT of problems with recceiving no audible notifications for a number of apps. For now, let's use gmail. I'll go days with no audible notifications when receiving email. The notification will popup on my watch (sometimes with vibration, sometime not) and, for reasons I don't understand, I'll infrequently receive an email AND get an audible notification, after which, back to nothing. Same is true of Life360, Ring, Life Reminders, SMS, and a few others. All of them give audible notifications only rarely.
I've tried updating/reinstalling apps, rebooting the phone and watch separately and together, turning off the watch for a day, . . . nothing helps.
At times Ring and gmail will not only give no audible notification, but give a popup on my watch 10-15 minutes after the trigger. Not great when someone rings my doorbell.
But let's go back to Life360. I get no audible notifications when a family member arrives at a specified destination, but every time the vehicle stops, I get a driving summary WITH audible notification. Summary, but no destination. In addition, Life360 app shows the drive and the correct time arrived at a destination, so it gets the time/location correct. I get a popup. Just no audible notification.
Ring shows the correct time of a trigger, I get the popup without audible notification, but when the notification is delayed, the app shows the correct trigger time. So, like Life360, the app recognizes the trigger time and often gets to my watch, but no audible notification.
Phone volume is up. I know? the apps are set correctly, because Settings are right, the trigger times are recorded, a popup appears, and sometimes I receive the audible notification. I've been to the phone's Settings>Notifications>App Notifications too many times. Turned off/on notifications of all affected apps one at a time and all at once. Turned off notifications/rebooted/turned on notifications. I've tried to 'time' the silent notifications in an effort to see if there was a hidden schedule somewhere affecting volume. Nope, lack of volume is nearly 24hr/day with the occasional 'surprise' notification. And some apps (e.g., Microsoft To Do) ALWAYS give audible notifications.
I hope someone can diagnosis this.

I think mail com got hacked because every time I try to sign in it just goes back to where it was. I can't get any email from Android Forums or anything else. Is anybody else having the same problem?

Wow, does the main page need work.

Descriptions of the categories are almost archaic... take Wearables, for example:

"Our Android Wear forum is the place to discuss all types of Android wearables, from sleek Android smartwatches, to Google Glass, to fitness accessories and the latest wearable trends. Google was first to truly innovate in this emerging market and Android Forums is the place to follow its every move."

Android Wear has been Wear OS for a long time - and Google Glass was abandoned before that!

As a copywriter, I'll be happy to help revise or rewrite these. Just let me know what I can do to help.

I don't know why it says that. There is nothing connected to it right now, not even a charger. It also says USB is controlled by a connected device. I wanted to switch it, but it said it couldn't. I noticed that the choices are all gray. Thank goodness it's set to file transfer because I know about those crashes when maybe data could be recovered but not without it. I hope everybody's having a happy Thanksgiving.

I don't know what it is with the push to further miniaturize truly wireless Bluetooth earbuds. They seemed to be at the good balance a few years ago: a balance between small & unimposing and functional. Perhaps it was the Apple Airpods, with the little white dingalings hanging out of people's ears, that have driven innovation to extremes.

At any rate, I haven't found a pair in years that didn't fall straight out of my ears. I had the Sony WF-1000XM3s, which were a good balance of function and fashion. I then tried the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, which are little dots that, once in the ear, have to fall out or I can't pull them out. I decided to move up to the Sony WF-1000XM5s, which aren't much better. The little dots for control surfaces are small targets... and they quickly work their way lose and I have to catch them before they fall to the ground.

Are there any earbuds out there that (a) have the latest advances in connectivity and quality; (b) don't have dingalings hanging out of ears; and (c) actually stay IN THE EARS while being easy to control??? Or am I asking way too much? I've tried various eartips and they're either too big or end up stuck in my ear canal after I remove the earbud. It doesn't bother me if people notice that I'm wearing earbuds... I am, after all, wearing earbuds!

I had a Google Pixel 3XL phone and it was great, but I now have a Google Pixel 7 Pro and it has some major issues.

Here is one example: On the old phone, the Flip-to-Shhh feature worked exactly as expected. On the new phone, while the Flip-to-Shhh feature stops the phone from making noise, when a call or text comes in, it turns on ‘Do Not Disturb’. What sort of effing moron could have come up with this notion that is so incredibly stupid it is unimaginable?

I have a Samsung S22 running Android 13. Recently I was issued a pair of Danalogic Bluetooth hearing aids. These operate with an app called BeMore. Among the facilities available is audio streaming direct from the phone. I haven't changed any settings in the phone or the app to enable this but nevertheless I found that some app audible notifications had started coming through the aids. I say "some" because not all do and to make matters worse I stopped getting sounds or vibration from the phone itself.

I've found that when the aids are turned off (overnight). or if I turn off Bluetooth on the phone, most of the notifications revert to the phone. One, my K-9 email client, doesn't. I've rechecked all the app settings. Everything is still enabled and the sound (Concertina) plays if I tap it but I don't get sound or vibration when a message arrives. Volume is set to maximum both in the notification settings and via the manual key on the phone.

This query is a bit of a last resort because I can't find any troubleshooting information or Forums on the Danalogic website. I'm just hoping that someone on here might have had experience with similar problems and might be able to offer some advice.

I'm having a problem with image orientation when using Google Meet for video calls. To keep the display in landscape mode I have to orient the phone vertically, i.e. in portrait mode, and vice versa. This happens whether I allow rotation or don't. I did a test with my wife's iPhone (I have a Samsung S21+). She called me. My orientation changed with her orientation. When she held her phone vertically, I had to orient my phone vertically for the image to fill the screen. When she held her phone horizontally, I also had to hold my phone horizontally for the image to fill the screen.
I frequently have a call with someone calling me on an iPad. I don't think her orientation changes mine. She orients her iPad landscape and I have to orient my phone vertically for the image to fill the screen. And that image is landscape. So I have to look at it sideways.
Is this the way this is supposed to work? How do I fix this with the iPad?
Thank you.

Wife picked these up. They are from Canada.I first tried chicken flavored potato chips in France, and they were the best flavored potato chip I have ever tried. Why Lays hasn't brought this flavor to the states is beyond me. They are delicious.

I tried to sign in but all I got was this early bird thing. What happened? How do I get to Android Forums?

Just in!

Stable is allegedly being rolled out the week beginning 27th November for the Fold5 & Flip5...




I will believe it when I see it.
