I appreciate all the suggestions; I'll give them a try!

You seem to have multiple things going on.

First, it appeays that you are in the habit of moving your SD card from device to device.
This is a bad habit.
Get a separate card for each device, and leave it there.

Second, strange and sometimes bad things happen during the updating of apps.
Generally, I also update if one is available, but if the update does not affect my device or has no interest to me (always check the changelog) then I usually will not take the update.
There is an old saying- that you don't update software that is working properly.

Most of the problems I have ever had with software came right after...
you guessed it...
an update.

Now, this may not even be your issue at all.

How did you purchase your SD card?
Was it a name brand from a brick and morter store?
Or was is an 'el cheapo deluxe' in a twin pack that was on sale online?

There are many, many fake cards out there, that are sold as having much more memory than they really do.
They will fill up way before expected, and then crash or lose data in other ways.

For files/folders to just up and vanish off of internal memory is quite a different thing.

Unless something is wrong with the device, you did a factory reset, or deleted the files yourself, then it is exceedingly rare to just lose data.

That is why I suggested the other gallery.
Not only because it is a superior app, but because it may see these files that you cannot otherwise find with the apps you are already using.

Another app you could try is by the same developer, Simple File Manager.
Use the three dot menu in the upper right, then select 'settings'.
Then select 'show hidden files'.

Simple File Manager (A simple file manager for browsing and editing files and directories.) - https://f-droid.org/packages/com.simplemobiletools.filemanager.pro

The idea here is that you may have (hopefully) inadvertently hidden these media from the apps that you have been using, and that these apps will still see the files.

The other reason for you to try these apps is so that it is easier for me to help you, as I (and others on this forum) use the same apps myself- and am completely unfamiliar with your apps (or device for that matter).

This would put us on more common ground.

heres the problem

android box x96q max
tv lg oled c8
via hdmi 1 cec not selected

the tv remote keeps changing the tv channel on the android box when i hit enter
no devices are linked to tv.

racking my brains, all i can think is the lg is on the same frequency as the android box

anyone any ideas

cheers

Yeh, could be the TV and Android box are using same IR codes. I think, disable the IR on the Android box, like cover its IR receiver with duct tape so it doesn't "see" the TV remote, and use a Bluetooth remote for the Android box instead.

Just seen these two below, I guess not bad.

Samsung Galaxy J7 Duo
LG Tribute Empire

That doesn't sound right to me. Are they going to wear out or something?

what does not sound right? the article is correct and makes a lot of sense. and just like a computer or even a phone, the processor can wear out.

I don't take the DXO Scores as the Bible of Camera ratings, but I find it useful as an information source for relative comparisons between devices. A lot of phone users, especially the younger generation, tends to get very caught up in spec numbers and ratings. Very few people actually fork out $1000 for a new phone. They just pay their monthly fee to cover their service and phone payment and pay $1500 for the phone over 2 years.

These same people might take a DXO score of 120 compared to 116 as an indication the 120 phone is significantly superior to justify in their mind the reason they should upgrade, when in reality the average user wouldn't tell any difference. It reminds me when digital camera sensors started advertising more and more megapixels. The buyer going into Best Buy gravitated towards the camera with more MP, "more is better" is the general way people think and the manufacturers gear their designs and marketing towards that. Later, people digging deeper come to find out, in most cases, more megapixels = more noise. The latest marketing spec hype is the 120hz screen refresh rate in phones and the talk that "oh no, the new iPhone is still only 60hz!" And you go onto YouTube and find all these comparison videos where they have to show the comparison with the video shot at 120fps and slowed down to 1/4 the normal speed to see the difference and talk about how much more "buttery smooth" the phone is! (Umm reality doesn't happen at 1/4 speed.) In most cases, the user would be happier if they left the phone at 60Hz and gained an extra hour of battery life. LOL. But 120hz sounds better than 60hz. More is better.

the webview is so limited and if the page opened in it .. there is no way to get out other than closing it and opening it manually ... i want add some functions to my captive portal page that require a browser ... so i want to know if the devices that are common here opens it in the webview or the browser through some list or something.

Hi there, how this new games has been selected ?

^^^Did I say welcome back?^^^

@charlington Wi-Fi is the beast for download speed. Your file size sounds outrageously large to me but I rip movies.

I moved this to its own thread in the E5 forum.

I know how, if you want to remove these ads, just follow these steps :

So I went to my phone (which is old and still has service to call people lol) that had ads and I kind of removed two days ago but before those two days the phone still had ads popping up. So, I went into the phone setting and I uninstalled this app called, "still" and after that, I saw google play protect found 4 apps that was harmful and I went there to uninstall it (which was the apps that pops up ads) and later, there was no more ads. But, I also realized that the app, "still" was doing something so, Google Play Protect didn't know that the 4 apps that kept popping up ads.

What was the phone from?

Yeah, about that it was the UL40
Also, it was made by ANS (or America Network Solutions) the phone that always pops up ads

If the problem keeps persisting I don't know what I can help or maybe I can help.
Welp, have a good day!

Interesting. I turned that off yesterday, and it did not "take", but now the sound is gone.

Thanks

what did you try? @Trom's suggestion? its probably not from chrome if you are not in chrome when it happens. it sounds like you got some kind of adware installed. i would begin deleting any apps you installed recently. start with the most recent a work your way backwards. and before you uninstall the apps make sure you clear cache and data before deleting the app. some apps will leave behind its cache and data on the phone even after it is uninstalled.

i've tried all the suggestions above... none does the job done

As the U.S. Galaxy S20 devices have been mirroring the global models for the last couple of beta releases we should hopefully see a ZTKF build imminently.

This is included with the A20S. Apparently the idea is to help international aid via displays on the lockscreen. Should I go for it?

that's up to you. i never opted to do it on my note 10+.i initially said no, but so that i could look into it later, but never did.

Thank you for taking the time out of your day to reply to me even tho i just now say it... I understand how phones operating systems work and how circuitry works resistors capacitors and such but i don't understand how code works or why you cant just flash in a new IMG from a phone running the same CPU chip. And in my case its a Rockchip RK3026 so for today's standards its low tech and slow. I dont know if i stated this in my original post or not but i dont care if i brick the device or if it ends up not working at all. I'm more interested in the learning factor of flashing the boot img and getting a grasp on how to use linux commands and writing code myself to build a custom o-s that i dont have to fall into the rest of the world being monitored through cell towers. I have ambitions of fathering my own little computer operating system that may or may not be used as the foundation for being able to lift the vale between other dimensions and energy all around us or hell even be able to travel far far away from your favorite chair. So if you can help me to understand how i could make my own operating system even if that means i have to get a nonprogrammed Rockchip RK3026 and put it in myself, to be able to use the motherboard of the jp5 and make it into what ever i want to use it for. I would really appreciate the knowledge rather than being told i cant do something because I Personally Will Never Give Up on Something I Want To Accomplish....[especially if someone tells me it cant be done] But anyway Thank you man and if or when you get back to me we can exchange some contact info and programming ideas. That also goes to anyone else who reads my post and wants to contribute to the future of my programming novel. attached a video of the motherboard and stated the processing chips included on it.

I created a channel for your game. Good luck and thanks for sharing.

Why the rating is 0? Is it bad or what?

Click to expand...

It's a new app and no one has rated it yet. It isn't that the app is bad, it just has no reviews.
