Screen record TV from phone using smart view

The answer to this question as it is asked is to use a screen recorder app on the phone.
(The question seems to me to be asked 'backwards', but it is what it is.)

Start the screen reording app, then cast as normal.

Note: Generally these screen recorder apps use the internal speaker as a sound source, and the internal mic as the pick-up.
This will cause some audio fidelity loss, and the volume setting will control the volume of the recording.

Motorola g 5G(2022)

I'm seriously considering this phone, not the stylus version, and I hear that Moto will be coming out with a 2023 version. Just wondering if it's possible to add an led notification light to it, maybe with an app? Thanks for any help. IMHO...the micro SD card slot is the major factor for me.
there are plenty of apps on the play store for led notifications. never owned a moto so i do not know if there is something already built in.

What app uses this icon?

Sadly this is a common question (and most of them are about relationship insecurity).

Unfortunately we can rarely provide a definite answer: there are literally millions of apps, and a "heart" is a very common symbol used by many different types of apps (most of which are not what you fear). So unless the app in question is a common one it's a long shot that anyone will recognise it. I've certainly never seen this one before.

To be honest your best chance of getting a definite answer is probably to ask them (and hope that they don't guess why you care, as "I don't trust you" rarely goes down well).

Rooting my Samsung 23 Ultra???

It's very easy to root it all by yourself without having to rely on some dubious pre-patched files from the dark web. Here is a DIY tutorial just for you ;)
The only problem is that the Magisk-v25.2 doesn't fully support these new devices yet... It kind of works though. Enjoy! :D👍



I just went to Settings->Apps and disabled a few. However, there are a bunch of crap apps that I could neither disable or uninstall. Is there some way to do this? For example, Device Care could not be disabled.
Not yet. I haven't ported my ultimate DIY Custom ROM Maker app to this brand new Samsung device yet. It's only a matter of time now that I finally got my hands on it...

Phone randomly starts to play music - only stops by pulling down menu

My phone is really ticking me off. All of a sudden, out of no where, it will start playing music. It's always the same song. It can be in my hand, my purse, on the counter, charging, not charging. The only way to stop it is to unlock the phone and pull down the top menu. There's just no rhyme or reason to it. Can someone please help?
Check your Clock app to see if you have in alarms or notifications set on it. I had the same with my Samsung Galaxy Tablet and removing the notifications and alarms from the Clock app stopped the music from playing

Lately...

Out of the blue, I was getting my phone out of the pocket, and a tiny peice of the upper middle,my tendency of where I mostly press and tap so consciously, it was hot for a second, there was not much background apps to really harm the device...

HTC Rezound - Is there a way to unlock from Verizon?

Yeah because endlessly raping the earth of more finite resources, encouraging disposability vs. keeping something that still works makes PERFECT sense.

The mindset of 'throw it away and buy a new one' sickens me to the core.

There are ways to bypass the so-called VoLTE mandate. I got a Galaxy S4 Mini working currently that's supposedly not supported. Let the carriers pound sand and let the users use what they want. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle in THAT order people.

BUY, CONSUME, CONFORM, and SUBMIT. :thumbsupdroid:

Given that the OP's 12 year old Verizon HTC might be a CDMA only device. Probably can't do anything with the thing, except to BUY a replacement, as there's no CDMA netowrk to connect it to now AFAIK.

Where I am, probably millions of now obsolete CDMA phones went to the trash.


BTW I now hear that AM(Medium Wave) radio is an endangered species in the US, with many stations now shutting down their AM band transmitters. With the same thing happening in Europe.

Weird activity with Samsung keyboard phone

OKAY.
I may have a working answer on the "Hells Bells" Android phenomenon.
Note, exhibit A:
.
Apparently, this is ONLY a thing with Samsung phones. Of which, this is (a 2015 Captivate Glide).
.
From what I'm reading here, many people have been complaining about these old phones suddenly playing random songs in the middle of the night, without anything showing on the display. When they hit the volume, or any other button, it disappears without a trace.
Yes that's right. Almost identical to what happened to me.
.
So how did it play a song from my computer?
Its possible it didn't. If this is right, it may have played a recently downloaded song from my Google account.
As I had the same Google account on the 2015 phone, well. There you go.
By powering it up, it became active... the bug triggered, and it grabbed a recent song my Google account record, I had listened to. From "the cloud". In order for you to download apps on your phone you must be logged into Google Play. Most people on Android are always logged in Google Play, 24/7. And when you're logged into Google Play, it keeps logs of everything you do. For eternity.
And probably, even if you aren't logged in it.
.
But I wasn't logged into Google Play on my PC!
Aha, I think I have the answer to that too. Instead of Google Play, I was logged in my Youtube account, on the PC.
Google owns Youtube.
So their computers who track everything and everyone, must have determined that it is the same person on the PC, as the phone. As it probably also has done with you and yours.
Its getting to be a really small world isn't it? And like my father likes to say, "Google knows more about the inside of my colon than I do."
Well sorry, he said it, I didn't lol.
What does anyone think?

Airplane mode reminder

I don't know of any apps. Don't you get an airplane icon on your main screen when you are in airplane mode?
Yes there is a tiny airplane icon next to the connection and battery level icons. The thing is I do not use my phone constantly. I'll set it down and won't touch it again until I need it or I get a call. It's always just been a minor inconvenience when I do notice and turn off airplane mode and see a half dozen messages or notifications pop up. But the motivation to finally seek a solution was today. Our pet just passed a couple days ago and apparently they attempted to deliver her ashes to us and the guy phoned when he was in the area. I didn't get the call, he didn't deliver.

Frustration after system update

your other option would have been to try deleting cache and even data for duckduckgo. if that does not work, then you can un-install and re0install the duckduckgo. just an fyi going forward;)
Thanks for the extra information, ocnbrze. I'm sorry about the delay in replying, but I have been busy away from the computer. One can never have too many tips, so I shall remember that.
