congrats to the Jayhawks. that was a crazy 2nd half. i only caught the tail end of the game.....sorry for the late post, been crazy busy with work this week.

It was a crazy second. The first half was just as crazy. Kansas looked like it was their first time playing together as a team. They ran very few plays, put up stupid shots, and couldn't get a rebound on either end. It's amazing that they were able to win playing good basketball only one half.

Just an FYI, you can do a search for widgets in the play store. there are widgets for each of the things you want to toggle on and off.

This type of thing can be stored on a keyboard app as well.

Do you use G-Board as your keyboard?
Do you allow your keyboard to make suggestions?

Keyboards like G-Board store things that you type in a 'dictonary' of sorts, to 'help' with suggestions.
This is one reason that I don't use keyboards that do such things.

One time, I missspelled something when hitting the wrong key.
The stupid keyboard (G-Board) would never forget it no matter how many times I corrected it.

The typo version of the word is what always came up in the suggestions.

Maybe your old phone number is being shown like this.

It ispossible, although tedious, to revert system apps (and user apps as well) back to versions that would make these devices perform as you remember.

The problem, besides the hours of time, is that those versions of apps may very well no longer function online with the sites they link to.

To be sure, it is highly likely that the devices really could be useable online, most likely not for gaming but for general online stuff.

Also, keep in mind that these things are ancient by today's standards, and technology with such devices moves ahead faster and faster.

To be sure, you yourself said that you have not used it in quite some time.

The speed that you remember is not going to be fast by today's standards.

I have every smartphone that has ever been mine- even dumb phones going back to 2001 (which was a 1997 version when I got it!)

When I do fire any of the old ones up, I am amazed at how slow they seem now, although I thought they were great when I was using them.

My ol'lady is still using a 7.1.1 that I have two of.
These things were great when we got them.
They did require routine clearing out, because the memory capacity was small.

So when her phone starts acting up, I have to do this maintenence on it.

Basically, I move her pics and videos to the SD card, delete any duplicates, update important apps, and clear the caches of all apps.
Then I do a restart.

This is what I do on a weekly basis with my devices (I tend to run two.)

With my current device, this can all be done in minutes.

With my slightly older device that I actually use as a phone, it takes a bit longer for each function.

Not a ton, but it is obvious.

I thought that device was fast (and it WAS the fastest device I ever had) until about 7 or 8 months later and I get this other device.

Now, when I go to do the service on my ol'lady's phone, I swear it is like dragging an anchor.
It took me hours, no kidding, because she had it so full and it is just that slow.
I always had a complaint with how long those 7.1.1 devices we have took to install updates or to restart them.

It takes about 2-3 minutes just to restart, whereas my phone (with double the memory, an octo core processor (the others are quad core) the same RAM but a better chipset) does it in about one minute flat.

Up until my latest devices, I just assumed that restarting took a long time.

Now it is like nothing.

Her battery is going bad, and although I can get her another one, I have already got her a new phone.

This was months ago, but she never activated it- now the carrier probably won't anyway.

Anyway, the point is that the devices we liked years ago in their prime are nothing compared to the devices of today.

These things have a typical useful lifespan of 2-4 years, but they will be outclassed long before then.

Hi there, I'm trying to pass a variable to a function from the OnCreate function and I get no errors, but it crashes no matter what I try passing. Here's where I'm using it:

and here's where I'm trying to pass it to:


I've tried setting a boolean flag and passing it and that doesn't work either. I've also tried declaring the flag as public static Boolean flag; in MainActivity and passing it as MainActivity.flag and it throws no errors, but it crashes everytime.

Any help would be great, thanks in advance!

I entirely agree!!! Google Play Store has one of the worst user interfaces I've seen so far, and trust me, I've seen many bad ones while working as a designer.

I agree with your advice but the thread starter wanted to move Apps to an SD card and upon re-reading the Post I seem to remember that back in the days of my Huawei Ideos, I used Astro File Manager from Playstore which enabled Apps to be moved to the external SD card.
Not ALL Apps could be moved but the idea was for cell phones with small internal storage capacity.
My Redmi 7 has 31.3GB's of the total 64GB internal storage in use.
There is an excellent article in the How to Geeks regarding how much internal storage is really required in a cell phone (relates to iPhones but it is a good guide)..

apps to sd card moves only portions of the app....not the entire app. it moves certain things of an app like data to be stored on the sd card. and you do not need a file manager to do this.

Sometimes I see a momentary pop up like I'm offline, only in FB, usually when I leave it 'open' and my screen times out. WHen I pick it back up and it's open to FB, I see an offline message, but pull down to refresh, or close and open always fixes it. I always just figured it was FB being a ****

What youdescribe happens to me, most often with my newest devices.

It seems to me that any device I have that is Android 10 or above will stop or delay connection to the internet when the screen times out.

I believe that this is caused by built in battery savings in the devices, and/or settings that I have implemented.
Possibly even something to do with apps that I use Greenify to force stop.

Greenify activates when the screen goes off, and I have the paid version that can control system apps.

I'm having a problem transferring my WhatsApp messages to my new iPhone. This is my first time having changed from Android to iPhone.

Click to expand...

Suggest you look at the URL I posted previously about how to transfer WhatsApp from Android to iPhone. Of course I can't provide any more help than that, as the last iPhone I had was 13 years ago.

I've been in contact w/the carrier (Consumer Cellular) two more times (a total of 4 calls + one chat), and I've visited the tech at the local Target store in addition to posting here. CC tells me they've gone thru all their troubleshooting steps and they can't help me.

Currently all that is obviously wrong is that I can't send/receive texts over 144 characters, and I cannot send/receive images via text. This is crippling to my normal usage of my phone.

CC also says because my phone was originally a Verizon phone they believe it may no longer be compatible with their system and suggest that I purchase a new phone. Sorry but at almost $1,100 and only 2 1/2 yrs old & working perfectly until CC updated their network around 3 weeks ago, I'm not replacing the phone due to changes in their system!

Any further suggestions are welcome, including new carriers tho I don't want to go with any big-name corporations.

I've always added a contact to a group when first adding the contact or by editing the contact. I guess it's not a problem for me. Works like I want it to. I did see that when first creating a group on my S21 that adding contacts to the group from my contact list is possible. I have a S21 Ultra

Download the other version of the app. I used to do it in Google Play but I can't now. I don't know why. Maybe they just remove this function but I think you should try this on your smartphone. If it's impossible you can use unofficial site. I know that it is not very properly but it helps when I really need its help.

But the problem is that the op uses a phone that runs on the Android Go. It's different than normal Android phones.

At first I thought they were proposing .

Seriously, no idea. Probably simplest to ask the phone's owner.

Hey there! Thanks for all your support! Since the ghost hunter game is a HUGE succes, we're currently building a new version. Here's a teaser to get you all in the mood.

Hey guys

I've created an android application with a wearos module contained within it. This might be a rookie issue given that I'm new to android development (I'm from a web dev background) but I'm struggling to get my wear and mobile apps to communicate, when they are in debug mode.

Basically, I have written some code in the mobile application to detect if the wearOS app exists on a connected watch, and if it does, allow the user to monitor the sensor activity on the watch.

When I run the mobile application debugger on a physical device through USB, I see it doesn't package the wear application with it and so I cannot install the linked watch application on my watch (which is linked to android studio through ADB over wi-fi). While the mobile device debugger is running, I run the debugger for the watch app too and the app then runs on the watch, but it doesn't look like the code in the app is actually detecting the watch. This functionality does work though when downloading the published app through the play store, and then installing it on the watch through the play store too using the 'apps on your phone' menu on my watch.

How can I achieve the connectivity between the watch and phone apps through the debugger? This is a massive pain point for me and I can't seem to find anything online that addresses this and that describes how best to set up debug environments so that these apps are linked on the 2 devices and can communicate in debug mode. My mobile device app is heavily dependent on detecting watch sensors and interacting with them and so I need an efficient way to test this.

Thanks!

Wow, google photos for the win. Here you go.

Greenify will force stop apps that are running.

I use it on my devices.

The pro version allows you to control system apps as well.

Some system aps will not be able to be controlled, or will automatically restart.

It looks like the "nothing working" items are all root mods or apps that require root. So applying William of Occam's famous principle, the single explanation for everything that's been described would be if the rooting itself didn't actually work. That may be wrong, but from the information given so far it's the simplest explanation. So please provide as much information as you can about what you've done, including what tests you've done to confirm root, and what exactly happens when you try to do the things that don't work (and how you do them)?

As said above, the commonest reasons people install Lucky Patcher are things that the forum rules forbid discussion of. Hence specific help with that app is difficult to offer, but I suspect that dealing with your problem in general would resolve your issues there.

Yes, an alert notification will remain until dismissed.

If you want something harder to ignore I use Snooze It, which is a separate app that provides full screen/repeating alarms with flexible snoozing. If you leave your calendar app's notifications on you can have both.

According to Reviews of Xiaomi phones they are a high quality phone introduced to the market to compete with Apple and other high priced brands.at lower prices and the manufacturer only makes 6% on sales.I also have the Redmi Note 7 which I've also been very pleased with.
