Trying to start up a x86_64 based phone via the Android Studio Emulator, but it freezes at the white screen showing "Google". Here are the particulars:

1. Intel Core i7 chipset on the Mac
2. Android emulator uses API level 33
3. system image is from system-images/android-33/google-apis/x86_64

In Android Studio, when I hit the "run app" icon, as mentioned, it tries to start up the emulated phone, but freezes up.

I have tried --
1) installing intel-haxm driver via Mac "brew"
2) in Android Studio: "wipe data" on the emulator, then "cold boot" of the emulator but same problem.
3) tried at the command line: "emulator -avd Pixel_XL_API_33_x86_64", but again freezes at white screen.

A small portion of the (adb) logcat (excuse the ctrl-M's) shows:

(1) I do not see /system/bin/surfaceflinger on my Mac
(2) Abort message: 'Unable to generate SkImage. isTextureValid:1 dataspace:513' - this sounds important. Is it?

Pls let me know how one can get around this issue of the emulated phone freezing up.

And definitely, if I am asking on the wrong forum, pls let me know and I will direct this question elsewhere. Thx.

Open the Spotify and Tunein Radio apps, and look for any settings related to Bluetooth auto-play or auto-start. Disable these settings if they are turned on.
Thanks

Click to expand...

Tune-IN has a selection "Autoplay" with description "Turn ON to resume your last stream when tune In launches" and this is deselected. Few other chocies are enable and nothing seems to apply.

Nothing on Spotify setting seems to be appropriate.


Thanks!

No worries. Come back and tell us which one you ended up with and why you like it.

I've decided to go with Mobicip "Lite" version. It seems there are a couple of good free ones out there, such as Kaspersky Safe Kids and Google Family Link, but they are not compatible with Amazon Fire. I'm primarily concerned with web/app filtering and blocking, and Mobicip "Lite" for $2.99 per month seems to fit the bill.

Hi, thank you and appreciate your timely reply. But i didn't updated any app or software etc

could well be right.

annoying in the mean time..

okay I have a tough book as well have you tried the offline maps downloaded and using the windows 10 maps app that's what I use for offline navigation in tablet mode and you can your chrome with a maps extension to bring up google maps just make sure your Toughbook has the GPS device installed

That's what I do now, but I want access to OnX and TrailsOffroad because they have way superior maps for boondocking.

Is the A52 an Android Go device? From what I've read about it on AF, Android Go is a cut-down lite version of Android for lower-performance phones. And so apparently doesn't have all the features and functiions of full Android. This is what I've read, and have never seen or used an Android Go device myself.

Click to expand...

None of Samsung's A-series phones are Go devices. Not even the most crappy budget model they make. They're all OneUI running on top of full Android, even on devices with only 2GB of RAM. At best they cut some specific Samsung gimmicks out to make up for the lesser hardware/price, but hey, it's one way to get rid of Bixby--she don't exist on A-series. At this point in time, I don't think Samsung makes an Android Go device.

The only Go stuff are very garbage-tier phones like the AT&T "Calypso" or the Alcatel "Onetouch POP"

For the record, the A52/A53 are upper-mid-tier, aka, AMOLED displays, decent cameras, 90/120Hz refresh rates, and expandable storage and a headphone jack. They're one step or two below a flagship.

A-series designation is confusing to most, and is a mess of various redundant models but the basis for the model number is:

AXY where X is the tier (beginning at 0 for lowest, higher # for better) and Y is the generation. Aka, the Samsung A52 is the middle tier, second generation. The highest end A-series is in the A7x range.

I've never heard of a 'privacy password'. Two-Factor Authentication, sure, but not the other. Should I be concerned about this affecting me one day?

ok so this guy posted only once in 2013 and has not come back to this forum, so i highly doubt you will get an answer from him.

and you have the same android tv box from 2013? are you sure that it is the exact same box? why are you trying to root it?

Click to expand...

Probably attempting to install a more modern Android and make use of it, perhaps to get Disney+, Paramount+, or some other app that didn't exist when Android 4.2.2 or its TV platform was current. Without root, the only useable app on one of these things is Netflix. Even YouTube won't work. Kinda a shame they got less support than a 2010 Apple TV where all the built-in apps still work more than 10 years later.

I got a couple of various Android TV boxes that ran 4.2.2, would love to make use of them (I just refuse to toss things that still work out) but one only works with Netflix (which I no longer subscribe to) and AccuWeather, another was a Kodi box but Kodi is entirely broken, but hey, WeatherNation still works (better than The Weather Channel IMO) but that ain't enough to put them back into regular service.

The only legit harm you can get from enough EM exposure is slightly disrupted sleep or headaches. Not cancer. The whole 'phones cause brain cancer' was debunked long before AMPS (analog cellular) died, but they up and killed it anyway (take that as you will)

But this is nearing the whole conspiracy fearmongering that made people assume 5G causes birds to drop out of the sky and deer to turn carnivorous.

Manufacturers can customise Android their own way, so they can add their own features. I've never heard of this particular one before myself, and certainly wouldn't have guessed it.

Although truth to be told: There is a bmp review on everything you do snapshot if you want,
really easy just plug into your home computer, or any device that has a usb port, and browse through it..
I thnk I still have around a thousand or two, just tidy up my free space...

Quite a few - I'm sure I've forgotten some.
Ericsson C31
Some Sony and Motorola feature phones(I forget which ones)
Samsung E350
Sagem MYX901
LG GM360
AN LG Slider
HTC Wilfire S (X2) both rooted running CyanogenMod 11
Sony Xperia U
HTC One M9
HTC 10EVO (bolt)
Cubot Nova
DooGee Mix
Ulefone Note 11P
Huawei ALE-21
And probably some other I've forgotten

They should have moved it to the top, where it is when the screen's unlocked. I don't know about yours, but when my screen's unlocked, along the top is signal strength, battery etc, and a little icon saying I have a text, missed call etc. Why not just leave it up there when it's locked? Then we can look in one place.

Hello, can someone tell me what app this is? 3 vertical semi circles.

so we get this question every day. the problem is that there are millions of apps each with their own notification icon. so unless the icon is from a popular app like facebook or youtube, you will most likely get guesses from us.

why not just ask the person who the device belongs to? as most cases usually this questions comes from a concerned partner. the easiest way is to just pull down the notification bar and see what it is.

to me it looks like a bomb. maybe a game of some sort? i doubt it is a dating app.

Glad to hear you sorted it out

its probably a system cache file. should be fine to delete. just keep in mind that it might popup again as it is most likely a temp file.
