Appreciate the thoughts -
My Music files play through Pulsar (works on all other devices) and I also have Pandora ...
I did flip back and fourth between both, but neither did anything

Very perplexing - A phone call came up but Text and Audio did nothing

Ok, send that one to the electronics recycle.
Thanks mikedt.

Next tablet, same goal, different symptoms.
Toshiba, model AT7-C, Android 4.4.2
Get connected to Wifi, open Chrome, it proclaims that I must update. Jump through all the hoops, log on the the google account, and try to update. Touch the button "Install" and there is a message: "You don't have any devices"
Obviously I do, the one I am using.
I don't recognize anything that looks like: Add this device.
How might I convince Google that I have a device? Specifically, the one in use.

Tried Firefox, reported that Firefox is incompatible.
Tried MS Edge, reports "Can't download Microsoft Edge: Web Browser"
What else might I do? Or is this 0 for two.
Yes, they are old, but Pandora worked before and I don't care how old it is.

Thanks for your time.

Here is the play link. It actually shows on the bottom of the page too.

Yes, that's of course an option. But that shouldn't be this way IMO.


That's simply not true. (I just tested it again.)

Actually, it is true.
I have been using Telegram for years, and have none of the issues that you seem to have.

If it is such a bad app, then why do people that require secure communication use it all over the world?

Yeah you are right, I was just typing. Sorry folks. Scratch that idea.

Sorry for the delay in replying. Thanks to you who offered suggestions. Fortunately, the correct pattern was remembered and the phone is back in working order!

I understand the password/passcode/security pattern processes have to be robust, but it seems more like a deterrent to using them if regular joes like me can't use our device if the password/passcode/security pattern is forgotten. Having the only recovery option being a completely "nuclear" process (the factory reset) just isn't a good option. If only phone manufacturers could come up with a better way. (I'll keep living in my dream world, thanks!)

The problem with a "better way" is that what makes it easier for you makes it easier for the bad guys.

The priority from the start has been preventing access to data, which is why the reset is the one way past. But with Factory Reset Protection you need to remember your Google account password if you want to get back in after a reset - that was instituted to deter hardware theft (where the thief doesn't care about your data, resets the phone and sells it to someone - ensuring that a reset doesn't give you a working device is intended to put a stop to that).

When it comes to the method itself, I'd say, you have to be pretty lucky to even hit the requirements (USB debug+non-encrypted).

Especially since all phones for the last 6 years or so have been encrypted by default.
That's the trouble with old recipes: they linger in search results long after they cease to be relevant, and create false hope in those who don't know.

Starting with Android 9 iirc everytime I connect a phone to my PC for the first time I get asked to allow access. Swipe down from the top of the screen. That is the notification bar. You should see one that says usb, click on that one.

i dont have that.

Xiamoi. A sales rep told me it's pronounced "Shaw May" in English.

Here's the problem though. I don't have the patience to wait when I feel I need an upgrade.

It almost seems like you'd have to seriously F something up to get a scathing review these days.

I'm developing an app which displays a google map (satellite layer) into a web view. Thus, I'm using the Google Maps JavaScript API. I've noticed the JS API imagery is low quality and quite blurry on Android, but not in desktop chrome. Not only in my app, but on any site that embeds a JS Google map.

Take as example the maps JS API hello world example (satellite layer):

1. In desktop chrome, using device simulator, the imagery is sharp
2. In the google maps android app, the imagery is as sharp
3. In android chrome, the imagery is blurry and ugly.

Below are two examples. Left pic in each image is the JS hello world map linked above, in chrome on android. Right pic is the same exact are in the native android google map app. In a desktop browser, the JS imagery would look as sharp as in the android app. Click on the pic twice to view it at 100%.


left: JS gmap in chrome android, right: android google maps app




left: JS gmap in chrome android, right: android google maps app

Now I don't know if that's how mobile JS maps should look like or if there is a problem with my phone. Two things I've tried that solved the problem but induced other issues: Add `zoom:0.5;` to the div of the map, or change Smallest width from 392dpi to say 800dpi in Developer options on the phone.

It somehow feels like on mobile the browser zooms in on the map. In desktop chrome, if I set the browser zoom to 150% I get the same sort of ugly pixelated map.

best answer is what was selected for that thread.

Ohhhhh thank you! I forgot about that, kind of. I did think of that and both devices have decent SD cards with a lot of space.

I'm not familiar with the actual procedure though so I looked around online and found out it's not possible with the tablet but I forgot I should have looked for the phone separately lol

Well wait Idk for SURE that that's what it said but I definitely found out I can't run apps from an SD card on the tablet, which is what I really want because most of my storage is apps.

Also I didn't know SD cards wore out (idk wtf I didn't assume they did lol) Will I somehow find out when they're nearly done for? Or will they just crap out someday and I'll lose everything on them?

nope you will not know.....which is why you should not get a cheap one. with technology....including sd cards.....you get what you pay for. sandisk is probably the one i would recommend,, next to pny.

Thanks. I'm glad it's not just me!

Great! I will try this app. My little one keeps on deleting videos on my phone.

Not that I know the answer, but it's mind-boggling. I have a situation before where I have a phone enabled TAB and I wished to receive the call to another small android phone the way Bluetooth headphones function.

Same.

Can't run production equipment remotely, unfortunately.

Closest to WFH I get is sometimes checking emails.

Donkey Trump has been updated and now has Kart Racing!!

I know what you mean: often when I find no comments online about an issue I am wrestling with, I discover that the problem is something really simple wrong with my code. There had to be an exception eventually.

I concur that the Android Bluetooth API - whilst apparently well documented - is a much pricklier beast when you try to actually use it. I also agree with you that the data is there, just inaccessible.

For example, my testing confirmed that the same range of APIs are happy to *publish* an SDP record for any UUID you choose.

You may be interested to know that recent API versions return a hard-coded value (20:00:00:00:00:00 if I remember correctly) when an attempt is made to get the local adapter's address. The same API levels also started using randomised bluetooth addresses during part of the discovery phase.

I can see privacy reasons for the latter but I have been unable to imagine a exploit that uses the former... I guess I'm just not evil enough.

I'm afraid I have concluded that whilst Android are locking down more Bluetooth features with every release, the chances of getting a response on a request for increased access is low (even if only back up to the level implied by the documentation.)

Ho hum.

I am having this same issue but both my group and individual text messages are disappearing. I needed to go back to check some info on a group text thread and everything from yesterday is gone. What is the setting to control what gets removed?

Hi wondering if you have solved your battery issues. Also, I'm looking for more forums like this one to discuss Fossil Gen 5/Diesel On Axial issues. Is this the only one? thanks

Google runs a Wear OS support community here:

The Wear OS subreddit is also pretty active and might be a good place to engage with other users of your watch to see if they have the same issues:

I created a channel for your app. Thanks for sharing and best of luck.

Managed to make it the default. Thanks.
