Apps Is it necessary to show "Location Access" Prompt every time requesting for the location?

I'm not a developer so I can't really help you with how to implement this, but you shouldn't need to ask for the permission every time it is required. When I open a new app which needs access to my location, my phone (running Android 12) provides me with a few options for how the access should be granted.

Only selecting the "Only this time" option will cause me to be prompted again; otherwise, the app is able to automatically access my location the next time it needs to without having to ask me again.

Help Nexus 10 - Auto Power Off Issue

Thanks again, puppykickr,

That's pretty much what I did. I found the identical part number (SP3496A8H) on Amazon. Chose a UK based company called "KingSener" and ordered the battery, via Amazon. I had watched a YouTube video several times to check out the procedure and followed it precisely. And then back to my first post for what happened next. I'll try emailing KingSener to see if they can help. Thanks again.

Amazon and Ring apps not loading properly on wifi

You did reboot the router, correct?
Yes, numerous times

I narrowed it down at this point being the amazon and ring app on an a android operating system not like something on my wireless network
My final test was connecting to the free wifi provided by my isp and the apps worked fine

Not sure what setting on the router for my network setup might be causing this because all other apps and devices work as intended

Possible Water Damage To Phone

If the earpiece got wet, which often acts as a speaker as well, and the phone has no designed-in water resistance it could be that the water damaged the earpiece membrane. That would have been worst while the membrane was actually wet (it would be softer), but could have left a lasting effect after drying - especially if you used it at high volume when wet (early water-resistant handsets would limit the volume when they detected water exposure to reduce the risk of damage to the speakers).

From what you describe that's my best guess anyway - obviously impossible to know for sure from here.

SIMPLE MOBILE IS A SCAM

Your screenshot also shows fast speed tests of 51Mbps, 25Mbps (up), and 14Mbps.

Three possibilities:
You are sometimes in an area with poor reception, which means slower speeds.
You're on an overloaded tower, leading to slower speeds.
You went over your monthly data limit and are throttled to 2G speeds.

If you're not over your data limit and often have slow speeds, only look at carriers that use AT&T or Verizon depending on which is best for your city. :thumbsupdroid:

Displaying over other apps --- blocking

Apologies for the errors. I am getting tired.

On the phone I have a few, little used apps, which seem relevant now, such as App Permissions. Nowhere do I see anyting that seems relate to 'drawing over other Apps, or 'blocking Play Store'. I still have the App which some years ago I managed to identify as the culprit ,,,,it was MultiClip, which I still consider to be worth keeping. I see nothing to suggest it is now the cause of the problem.

The Aviation Thread

Resurrecting this thread to note that I will soon be flying to Europe. I’m vaxxed and only a little concerned, since I’ll mask up for the flights as well.

On a personal note, I’m excited to fly on the 787 Dreamliner (one direction United, the other Lufthansa). That it has excellent air filtration is another bonus. ;)

To get to the Dreamliner, the first hop is to ORD on United as well, and a friend (who is a UAL captain) has bid on the flight. I’m really hoping he gets it, I haven’t seen him in such a long while and I’ve never flown with him. Of course in these post-Bin Laden days there wouldn’t be any cockpit visit or anything like that anyway, but it would still be pretty cool. ;)

Help Can I install an app without a carrier?

I posted a link for NewPipe, which is to be used for Youtube.

Once you download F-Droid, you must find the downloaded file and tap on it.

There will be a "scary warning" pop-up, which is Google's last attempt at keeping you on their plantation.

Install the app, then open it.
There is a set-up time when the app is new.
Literally thousands of apps are available on F-Droid.

After the initial set-up, it works like many other app stores in that you type in info and apps that 'match' come up.
Searching manually by category is also available.

Lightning is an excellent browser, but NewPipe is the way to go for Youtube.
Use Lightning for your other browsing needs.

Themes Splash screen not working on Android 5

Hi all!

I'm developing an App.
Since the App should load many data at start, I decided to add a splash screen.
I followed the instruction on https://medium.com/android-news/the-complete-android-splash-screen-guide-c7db82bce565 (first choice).
The splash screen works perfect on my mobile phone (Android 7) and a test phone (Android 6), but not on my Tablet (Android 5).
In that case it just will display a black screen until the App finished the initialisation.
No errors are logged.

Can someone help me?

Thanks
Luca
