WiFi exclamation mark

mikedt
Poco phones are actually Xiaomi devices. How does the device determine if it's actually got internet connectivity via WiFi or not? Does it ping a certain server somewhere?
Maybe the Poco/Xiaomi server is in China, or somewhere, and the device is not receiving a timely response to the pings, hence it's showing the WiFi "!" exclamation mark.

I have occasionally seen a WiFi "!" exclamation on my Huawei phone when hotel WiFi is not so great.

AFAIK Xiaomi intended their Poco branded phones for sale and use in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Is that where you are?

Android Studio starting two apps at a time

J
When I run app A from project A it also starts app B from project B even though project B is not loaded. Why is app B starting and how to prevent it?

A51 accidently flashed the wrong firmware, now doesnt even boot into dowload

Given what you've posted, I think it's truly bricked and you're SOL. Unless you have the correct JTAG rig and software. JTAG is what the manufacturer uses for the initial firmware load on blank chips during production. .

Seems to be some A51 repair videos on YT covering this.

Apps on an Android 10 phone

Hadron
Qualcomm make the processors used in a large number of phones, so it's very likely that those apps are there for a reason.

com.qti is also qualcomm. Let's consider com.qti.ltebc: since "qti" is Qualcomm, and "lte" is "long-term evolution", i.e. the 4G network standard, I would strongly advise leaving things like that alone.

"tmobile" and "verizon"/"vzw" are US service providers - not sure why the phone would have apps from both.

I will give one bit of advice: don't remove any system apps unless you either have a nandroid backup (i.e. a backup made using a custom recovery) or know how to reflash to stock firmware (and know where to find a compatible firmware image). If you get this wrong the phone may not boot, so you need to have the means to recover it before you start fiddling. One of my top rules for root users is "take a nandroid before you change anything in the system, no matter how trivial).

just use it as an mp3 player. i use my note 4 when i go out for a walk with my dog. it still holds a charge for about an hour or so......just long enough for a couple of walks.

My Note 4 is giving me around 3-4hrs which I use it for testing. I think it has a custom rom on Android 9.

You should consider flashing the stock firmware since you already replaced the battery. If the problem persists after flashing the firmware, then you know it's hardware failure and can move on to another device.

Apps Help to make a video diary

Mohamed_Shamir said:
I'm have just started with Android development and please bear with me if I'm asking trivial questions. I wanted to create a video diary where a person can create video dairy for a day. He will be able to see the videos he recorded laterwards. Since storing the video in the phone is not a scalable option, I want to store it in some cloud storage and stream from there directly when the user wants to access it.

After doing some google searches, I have two ideas in my mind:

1. Use google drive with LibVlc. After uploading the videos to google drive API and then use LibVlc library to play the file directly.


2. Upload the video to youtube privately. And stream it from there using Youtube Data API.


Since I'm very new. I even don't know whether this would work or not and I really don't how I would be doing even using the above approaches. Any thoughts or comments on how I should proceed or is there a better way to do the task? Or any resources or ideas that I should look into.


Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks in Advance.

IF you do not have any followers or even massive people being your friend on youtube,it is automatic private account, I have around three of them, but I do not do much of talking into public different groups either,I keep everything on the download, and you can probably just upload those videos to your friend, and have them talk with you that way, that would of be the much easier way ontop of my head - instead of looping throughout the "LibVic" - drive only has two gigs by default, and you can not upload a video, maybe a five second video but that is about it! You can record and upload for that person a bit later on, and that person can drop you a video on his or hers own account.

how to look header in yaho mail?

Yeah the subject is inside the header, I have used yahoo for ages until some Massive ex-president's writer one of his campaign, made me suffer on a wave of a million emails of that,so I end up deleting that and that is the last time one of my former friends will ever get in touch with me, even though, we are never in touch, my girl cut my pinky in two after that massive day... I still feel that cut on my pinky, even though it is perfectly healed up. That was around when the Advengers End Game came out..

Google battery replacement - ebay content

svim
There's a nice, step-by-step guide on the ifixit site for your model:
https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Google+Pixel+2+Battery+Replacement/103334
but given the disdain in your posting you might find it better for your own peace of mind to just get an iPhone. Keep in mind that ebay battery is going to be really dated too, and even unused smartphone batteries age. It might possibly be able to hold a charge longer than the battery that's in your Pixel 2 but it's probably (not possibly) going to have a diminished overall use life. Batteries get old, that's just an unavoidable fact.
