The OP is referring to Daydream, once a standard feature of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and made it to subsequent versions but given the increasing lack of customization lately I'd not be surprised if it got axed.

As for changing the boot animation, you need root for that. That's even harder today than in the glory days of 2009. Being a moto, however, there are instructions online on their site to unlock the bootloader which is required for root, even though it's quite a process. Unfortunately, I never could make the boot animations make sound since version 6.0 Marshmallow. I think the code got axed as well--since I attempted to make a very TouchWiz-themed ROM run on my Nexus 6 years back and even though I successfully got the Samsung Galaxy SII boot animation to play, no sound ever played. It was one of the best boot animations around:

A phone's MAC address is just a device identifier, it doesn't have any direct relation to WiFi bandwidth speeds. Instead, you need to focus on either the coverage range of the router providing the WiFi network you're connecting to, or the bandwidth speed of the ISP's signal of the modem that feeds the router.
-- Is this slow issue with just one WiFi network or all WiFi networks? If just one that's likely to be a problem with the router. If all, that indicates your phone is having a problem.

-- Is this happening with just your home WiFi network, or elsewhere (i.e. workplace) If at home, have you tried just restarting your router?

-- If it is at home, do you rely upon an ISP's combined modem/router unit or do you have your own separate router?

-- Have you done any kind of coverage range testing? If you have good WiFi connectivity standing within a few feet of the router but it becomes more erratic as you move further away, that's a likely occurrence. You might be able to improve WiFi range but relocating/repositioning the router.

When you use the backup option in the WhatsApp app it will prompt you to select where you want the default save folder is located. Choose your Google Drive as your preference.
It's safer to have it saved to an online storage service anyway, and it makes it a lot easier to just do a restore or a transfer.

HP Smart print and the HP printservices seen my HP Deskjet(WiFi) but not my HP Laserjet 2300 connected with cable netwerk. I have this installed on a Samsug 53A.
At the same time it is working properly on my other Xiaomi 11T light.
Why ?

Unforgiven said:

Well, no, I use google keep all the time. I'm just not a fan of smartwatches, so that's the component I'm missing. FWIW, have you tried keep? I can, though I don't often, take notes with it using OK google.

I used to Keep briefly a long time ago but that was on my smartphone. I'll have to take a look and see if it's available for my Galaxy watch.

Thanks for the reply!

Thanks for the tip, MourtFenal. In fact, thanks to all the helpful folk that have responded. However, the problem has now been solved.
Kind regards to all,
S.

FYI the sites loads and displays no problems in Firefox on my Apple Macbook Pro and Samsung Note20 Ultra.

For about two weeks we have had the problem that Google / Android are rejecting apps for updates with the following statement:

We found that your app is not compliant with how REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES permission is allowed to be used. Specifically, the use of the permission is not directly related to the core purpose of the app.

Indeed, some of our apps had included this right in the past, but recent updates (for more than 6 months) no longer. We have checked and confirmed the current status as follows:

• Manifest controlled
• Searched all APK and plugins
• APK details in the store does not show this right either
• Display of the affected APK using "Sensitive Rights": all old beta versions which are not active

Unfortunately, all our objections and general support requests (also via other Google areas) are consistently ignored.

It is impossible for us to update our apps. Which is extra critical, especially with regard to requirements regarding newer SDK and billing API in two weeks.

How can we obtain help with the issue?

We're not a very small publisher, it's about apps with several hundred thousand installations.

Thanks

How Do I download Android Gradle Plugin 7.4?

Android Studio is dealing with two kinds of Gradle as seen in the Project Structure:

I have 7.5.1 set up. I think this part works.

Luckily, I found on the developer.android.com site, some information regarding the relationship between thest two things. https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/gradle-plugin?buildsystem=ndk-build#updating-gradle

And, on this page, I found this table which tells me what version of the plug-in I need.

So, where do I find this?

Click to expand...

You can specify the plugin version, 7.4.0, in either the File > Project Structure > Project menu in Android Studio, or the top-level build.gradle file.
If the specified plugin version has not been downloaded, Gradle downloads it the next time you build your project or click File > Sync Project with Gradle Files from the Android Studio menu bar.

Thank you!!

Ow, thank you guys for sharing this!

I only use the Mobile Hotspot option, and that is really just turning it ON or OFF if I want to use it, and then other devices can connect to it via WiFi. I've set it with a password.

Hi,

Thanks for your advice.
I got it done via Mobile Hotspot on Galaxy 22 Ultra

As for using a remote camera via another phone, or this "remote controller", no ideas about that. For my uses of tethering, is just to share my phone's internet access with another device, like a phone without SIM, a tablet, or a laptop.

It can be done running "TeamViewer". It is available on "Play Store"

I am very new to this , just used the TV app building inside android studio and added:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK"/>
inside the Androidmanifest.xml . When I made an APK file to test it on my TV, as soon as the screen saver kicks in, it pauses the live stream and goes to screen saver.
I would appreciate any help

Now this time, I thought to myself "Hey so my tablet is not my own cell, ah contacts, better clean that up" Little did I knew when I was near my cell, my contacts vanished so quick in the air.. Age old question and yes I did double check out everything, I have a few of my cousin's numbers thanks to my sister, since last time it was FDR and I did get my contacts back instantly..

But today I just did finished FDR it a while ago, and boom, it was like an odd thing together, so yeah I better not clean up my contacts via tablet from moto edge anymore..

Haha... "Hey stupid when will my contacts get a hold of me...."
I hear circkets.

I did not realize that you have a foreign (to me) version of the e6.

Also, mine is a carrier locked version.

But I use a very different launcher and I also disable many things that most folks can/will not.
This has always been a wi-fi only device for me, and has never latched onto a tower for service.

As of now, I am using it mostly for music in the car.
It was for a time my primary wi-fi device.
It is small and lightweight, so is better for long term laying in bed while holding it in the hand.

But the original battery is swelled now. I purchased a replacement over the summer and its date of manufacture is earlier than the old one, lol.
So this thing is on borrowed time.
Music sounds nice with it, it is easy to see and use, and I will be sorry when it does finally crap out.

To be honest, I wish that this was my carry around device rather than what I do use for that.

I agree music through the headphone jack at any rate was excellent on mine (ok different soc etc). I bought this for a reduced stock £79 new in box at a click and collect chain. I had to send my Nokia to Hungary with DHL (I probably told you this before when I was someone else!) under a 2 year warranty for a new usb c port that had warped, and came back with a circuit board thingy also attaching the port to the motherboard.

The battery on my E6+ (same 3000 mah) is showing as like new (96% with the Accubattery I keep on this one). I leave it on all the time for receiving calls to a second number. If I hadn't bought a top spec Poco with 2020's top chip SD865 and a great OLED screen for £294 6 months later, I wouldn't have known any better and been happy with my E6 Plus (I think).
New (apparently) genuine batteries are still only about £7 here from various sites.

I like the way the back clips on around the sides, the weight and size, and I get a new Bing screensaver every day on this one and it's really impressive for an IPS 720p screen. The supplied tinted case is also excellent.
Man, I feel like I'm writing an erotic story! I'm getting hot

Ultimately the loading times, switching speeds, pin sharp color accurate screen etc has me loving the Poco more, though it feels twice as heavy at 220gms.

Motorola are starting to make good mid range and high end phones again (Edge 30 series) where I don't think their budget models competed on price since the G6 - G8's.

If when I win the lottery I'm going to try a whole bunch of budget devices that I think should be great for the money, give most of them away, keep one or two and also pick one flagship out of 5 or 6 from a shortlist.

So, you cannot use the web version of the Amazon appstore?

Then the phone is toast....... sorry

If you're wondering if an "unknown" device is connecting to your Wi-Fi, the answer lies in your Internet router. In most cases, it's your broadband router, but it could also be a mesh Wi-Fi system, Wi-Fi extender, or booster. Whatever your setup, you'll need to log in to the device providing your Wi-Fi and look through its menu to find a list of connected devices. Simply logging into your router can be a challenge. Essentially, you need to know the router's IP login, which you should get from any device connected to it, such as a laptop or phone. That way, you will understand what is going on.

What are the dimensions for wallpapers on the outside and inside screens of the Z Fold 4??.

Lurker, I'm not understanding you're logic. You're saying that DND means don't disturb me through my physical phone, but go ahead and disturb me through a connected BT speaker? Makes no sense. Why would anyone want that?

Although you may have found a solution, do not give up on trying different keyboards.

There are many, many keyboards.

G-Board is not very secure, as everything you type (yes, EVERYTHING) is capable of being sent to Google- and they can do whatever they wish with any or all of this information.

Keep in mind that the keyboard is what you type every single thing into your device with.

So even if you are not using any specific Google app or thing, they can still see (and use) whatever you type at any time.

This includes your contacts, private text messages, messaging apps, social media, you name it.

Is one of you using an iphone and the other one using an Android?

I dont know about calls, but there have been problems with other connections between the two.
