Help Make app drawer the home screen? (as in, disable home screen)

Well you could always just add all of your apps as icons on a home screen and then turn on the option to add new apps to it. Of course you'll have to page through the home screens to find a particular app (unlike the app drawer).

Maybe look at Niagra launcher, which I remember is based on a few shortcuts plus an alphabetical app list. Maybe doesn't put everything on (loads of) screens like iOS, but equally is less cluttered and 1990s, and allows you to get to anything from one screen (unlike older iOS where you have to search through many screens).
Thanks.

Help Phone is charged but battery displays 0%

SOLUTION: I have same problem on moto-G6 running Android-9. My phone was on charger all night but showed 0% in the morning.. However it appeared to have some charge as i was able to make and receive phone calls and txt. The battery status icon was just stuck on 0%.

Here is FIX that worked for me.

#1) If your phone is working but shows 0% battery all the time proceed to #2

#2 Hold down the (vol-) + (Power) buttons until you see bootloader screen. (Note: do NOT release buttons until you see bootloader menu screen. Also do not worry if camera takes a screen shot. Just keep holding (vol-) + (power) buttons until bootloader screen appears).

#3 Use (vol-) or (vol+) button to change menu option to [Qcom]. [pressing (vol-) or (vol+) scroll through options]. I pressed (vol-) 7 times or (vol+) 3 times to reach [Qcom]. Your phone maybe different. Just Stop when you see the [Qcom] option.

#4 Press (power) button to choose [Qcom] option

#5 Phone should reboot automatically and Battery Icon will display correct %

I Hope this method works for you.. it worked for me. GOOD LUCK :)

Fragment playing audio stream

Is it possible to have something like that working ?

public class RadiosFragment extends Fragment implements View.OnClickListener {
ArrayList<String> stringURL = new ArrayList<>();
private AudioManager mAudioManager;
MediaPlayer mp = new MediaPlayer();
@override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View myView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_radios, container, false);
Button btn1 = (Button) myView.findViewById(R.id.btn1);
btn1.setOnClickListener(this);
return myView;
}
@override
public void onClick (View myView) {
switch (myView.getId()) {
case R.id.btn1:
String url="http://radioweb.com/daily.mp3";
MediaPlayer mp = new MediaPlayer();
mp.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
//mp.setDataSource(url);
mp.prepare();
mp.start();
}
}
}

Who's Pre-Ordering?

I'd at least go with an unlocked device, makes switching carriers much easier if you still feel the need to.

I wish that was an option for me but it isn't. Just don't have that kind of disposable income and it turns out getting one from a carrier isn't even an option so it's another year with the N10+ 5G @ 4G for me but best of luck to those of you who've gotten the device.

XRVD?

Considering the data useage of the app, and the camera capabilities of the device- along with the questions and the country of origin-

I would like to suggest a coupke of apps that may help secure it a bit.

The first one puts a device administer block on the camera.
No apps can access the camera without you allowing the camera to function- easily accessible via a quick settings tile.

The second one is a microphone blocker.
It does not have the device administrator feature, but still seems pretty effective.

NEED HELP

on my note 10+ when i leave the phone app and then return to it later, the phone app will be on the last place i left it........so just before closing the phone app you can select keypad. this way when you next open the app it will be on the keypad.

for me it is not a big issue. i can just easily move from recent, keypad, and contacts with no issue.

Thanks. When I tried that, it reverted back to keypad. Like you said, not a big issue, just one of convenience. Many thanks for your repl(ies).

Gmail, how to view animated giffs in gmails?

I sent that email back to my gmail on the note 8, and if I click show quoted text, it DOES play the animated gif.
But clicking on the attachment in either phone, does not play the animated gif.

So since Contacam program is sending the animated gif as an attachment only, like not inline with the body of text, it wont play inline then n either the Note 8 or Note 9.
On the Note 9, it just shows up, dont have an option to click show quoted text.
