How tough is the glass on the S10?

I don't own this phone, but I can tell you silica sand (6-7 Mohs) and quartz (7 Mohs) are both harder than GG5 or 6, so it is possible for the sort of fine grit you come across in everyday life to scratch it. You shouldn't be paranoid, the stuff is pretty scratch-resistant, but if you want assurance that it will never pick up scratches I can't give that.

Flight mode not working, still notified by "Messages"

Here is a short video showing about what I stated above.

I have already activated the System Tuner UI, so my toast message is different.

I made a couple errors, but I think you can see how to find what I was talking about.

I also included a bit about the Priority Only / Do Not Disturb function.

I think that the combination of these settings should help keep your device from driving you nuts all night.

At least it did for me.

I actually leave my device in Priority Only/Do Not Disturb mode all the time, as I have allowed only the apps that I want notifications from in the ways that I have mentioned.

Notebook to android to projector?

I knoww that NitroShare can transfer the files.

What I don't know how to accomplish is the ability to control other devices with your phone.
It probably is possible, somehow, with certain devices, but it is more simple if you remove 'the middlemen'- just like everything else.

If you had the files on the phone, and sent them directly to the projector, then the phone is already in control.

Casting apps should be able to accomplish this.

NitroShare will easilly transfer files back and forth from these sevices (I use it all the time).

A casting app that may work for you...

whole lot of shaking going on!!!!!

Hey @ocnbrze and other Californians, I just got this alert:
It's a good time to remind you about, or introduce you to, the MyShake app. If you don't already have it installed, now's as good a time as any! :)
I do not have it installed on my note 10+.....on my note 8 i did. i did smart switch and thought it got transferred over and just forgot about it, but it is not there....weird. i'm gonna install it right now.

Camera app issues/advice

Hi,

I just bought a Xaomi Mi Note 10, mainly because I wanted a better camera, and the camera set-up gets good reviews. But I'm having a couple of issues. Things that were better on my older Moto G6 (which was half the price).

Selfies - depth of field.
When I take a selfie my face is sharp and detailed but anyone behind me - a metre or more away is totally blurred out. This is terrible for group selfies, especially when everyone is a bit distanced ( which is always the case now :( ). Is there anything I can do about this, or is it just a problem with the hardware (lens)? It was much less of an issue on the Moto.

I've not had the rear "selfie" camera do anything like that on phones I've had. Is it like a bokeh effect, where the background is really out of focus and blurry, or is just slightly out of focus? It could be an effect that's been applied by the Xiaomi camera app the Mi uses? I know some manufacturer camera apps automatically apply a beauty effect to selfie pics, that's ON by default.

Suggest you post a sample pic, so we might have a better idea of the issue. Also try another camera app?

Weird emojis came with new s9

No I haven't reset. But how could it have come this way, new in the box. What exactly is done to it when it was "factory unlocked" I wonder.


AFAICT those aren't stock Samsung emoji. Maybe it is some third-party emoji theme? Something that was installed from Samsung Apps? Suggest you do a factory reset, especially with a phone from Ebay, like is it really "new".

Texts fail on first try

This is a slight fix, though I think the default text app should work.

Wasn't meant as a fix, just to see whether or not the stock app has a problem (config, whatever) or whether you need to look elsewhere, i.e., a system setting somewhere. Also, have you played around with Tasker or some other system behavior app in the past that may have caused this problem? Those types of apps can, on occasion, not clean up properly after themselves. Also, check battery optimization, put it to "no optimization" for your stock messaging app.

Take photo in background - ARCore + Unity3D

Have you found a solution for this? I am trying to make an app that visualizes the trackable points in the scene, but takes a photo every time the phone stops moving. Tried some plugins in Unity, but did not work with my phone. Then I tried building it in Android Studio. I have it set up so that it can either take a photo when the camera stops OR visualize the trackable points, but not both. For the AR points, I am using an ArFragment. In order for the camera to work, I need to comment out this fragment and all references to it. Any ideas?

No, I never did. I read something about "shared camera access", but AFAIK, it's basically pausing the camera, letting another process use it, then retaking control. Also, in Android 11 we will be able to access both the front and back cameras at the same time (probably doesn't help you, though!).
