BTW How do you delete a post here?

just realized that dji just came out with a new drone:

@ PitCarver :

I also am saddened to hear this.

It is going to hurt for awhile, but then the hurt finally goes away, and then the fond memories take over.

Thanks for posting that solution. I will have to try it out

Maybe they think we're all thick and would get confused when we couldn't find the power button. Using Android is as bad as using a Mac, built for children. I'm surprised they don't insist we always tilt to the left for landscape. Maybe they'd get sued by left handed freaks.

i did the factory reset but still it keeps power off. is there any app to check the wear and tear of the battery. the charging involves, the battery, circuit and the charger, and the connecting wire. To find, if the battery wear is more, could you recommend a real software that does it.

You should be able to increase it. The default is stupid, mine actually said "recommended" and was set at 7.5MP! Whhy on earth would you buy a good camerra and deliberately downgrade it?

Go to settings in your camera app, then under photos (and video) you should be able to change it to "high resolution". For me that ups it to 30MP, but I'm still missing 20....

I don't download apps that are not in the Play Store. LMC 8.4 Camera is not in the Play Store

Thank you all for the responses.

I am told by someone else that when you set up the alternate DNS, it encrypts the URLs of the Website shortcuts and that is probably why it deleted them when it was disabled. Not completely sure this is correct, but sounds plausible even though many of those links were set up long before the private DNS.

Yes, I am convinced they are lost forever.

I did not like saving the shortcuts this way, but it was convenient and easy to access them. Some of them, like a link to Google Tasks eliminated the need to install the app. Others were just saved that way because it was easier than bookmarking for the reason I already gave and I was pressed for time.

I had planned on backing them all up one day or copying them or even manually storing them in a text file but the last time I checked there were really no good ways to deal with these shortcuts in bulk (like converting them to bookmarks). So I put it off and paid the price.

Too late now! Oh well.

Thanks for all the replies.

PS: For some reason it also deleted some (but not all) of my Widgets. Looks like the ones it didn't delete might have been for the stock built in apps. This wasn't a big issue and I was able to recreate them. But it is puzzling why it would do that especially since to my knowledge those Widgets had nothing to do with the Internet and I can't see why they would even have access.

I think this might help. Follow this, and reset the calling SIM preferences.

To do it through Google Dialer/Phone app
Phone app >> 3 dot menu in the top-right >> Settings >> Calling accounts (Under GENERAL) >> Voice calls (Under 'Make and receive calls') >> Always ask

To do it through the system settings app
Settings app >> Network & Internet >> Internet >> Settings icon beside your carrier name >> SIM preferences >> Voice calls ('Under Preferred SIM for') >> Always ask

If you are flashing the same ROM .zip file that was installed previously then you should be able to do so without doing a factory reset in the process. So if it's the same ROM, and if your data haven't already been deleted, this should be possible.

Now I've never heard of OrangeFox so don't know whether there is any quirk in its interface, such as it doing a reset by default when you flash a ROM. The recoveries I used in my ROM flashing days, including the most widely-used one (TWRP) kept such things separate: you just flashed the ROM, and it was up to you whether you did a reset or not. But if you didn't choose to do a reset when flashing and the data were gone then maybe you need to do something special with OrangeFox to tell it not do a wipe (the opposite of what other recoveries do)? Or maybe the data had already been deleted by whatever corrupted your ROM, and so nothing you did could have saved them.

I am however curious about this "recent upgrade": custom ROMs don't generally receive over the air updates, you update them by flashing a newer version of the ROM. So what exactly was this "recent upgrade", and what exactly happened (as this might give a clue as to what happened to your data)?

Of course if you flash a different custom ROM from the one that was previously installed it's likely you'd need to do a reset anyway, since the system data and settings will almost certainly be incompatible. If it's based on a different base (e.g. AOSP vs a manufacturer's own customised Android) or a different major version of Android then you almost certainly need to do a reset.

If you have a custom recovery and don't want to risk losing stuff then take a backup using the recovery every now and then (a "nandroid" backup) and keep a copy on some other device (SD card, flash drive, etc). If your ROM is rooted you can also take full app and data backups: Titanium Backup used to be the go-to app for this, but I think it's not been in development for a while. I've heard that there are alternatives, but as I no longer root I don't keep up with such things.

version update V3.6

I'm developing a web app that uses audio recording. The issue I'm facing is that when the phone locks after inactivity, Android shuts down the microphone, probably due to a security policy.

I'm not aware of any way to allow a website to keep the microphone on during a screen lock.

Is anyone aware of how to shut this behavior off, or work around it? I think a mobile app can probably do it, but I'm wondering if a web app can.

Thanks for your help!

No, I haven't done that but it would be a good idea. Probably the main difficulty is the cheapness of the Moto G Pure (sub $50 at walmart). The Nord might not be super expensive but it likely has overall the better specs. As for pink/red, blue/green etc., I might have been exaggerating somewhat. It's just frustrating to see a color in real life and not be able to capture it properly.

I am not impressed with how the "kids" want their internet served, I wished I could still have the XP Pro OS !

I do not like touch screen, Ipad look, tablet look, or any other "fad" that is going around, just deliver my content to my device and let me alone.


The world changes everyday, and if we do not change with it, we will be left behind ....

Thnkx to Rob for wanting to keep us "in the game".

Could be the wireless AP needs resetting or rebooting, e.g. perhaps it's something like the DHCP pool is full, and so is unable to connect your device. Suggest you contact your company's IT admin.

In a place people were attacked by a virus called zombies. No human being left there. it seems like a forest. So, in order to get rid of this zombies soldiers came with an operation Zombie D(Dark).

Stop wasting time trying to do a Factory Reset to bypass the Lock screen. When you set up your lock screen pattern, that was saved within the installed Android operating system on your Nokia C100. It was not saved in your user account stored in your phone.
Note that with Android, there's a clear distinction between the OS and the user account.
The internal storage inside your phone is divided into several separate partitions. Most are dedicated solely to the operating system and are protected and restricted by system-level permissions. One partitions is set aside as a general, user data partition. That user data partition is not protected and only has user-level permissions.
And that has a lot of relevance to your situation. A Factory Reset only wipes that user data partition clean, it does nothing to any of those system partitions. So doing a Factory Reset wipes off your saved user account data, but again that isn't where the Lock screen config data is stored. You need to focus on actual problem, reloading the existing Android OS with a 'clean' version. With Android that's commonly referred to as flashing the ROM or flashing the firmware. Flashing the stock ROM will result in an OS that has no lock screen enabled.

Does your Nokia C100 have an unlocked bootloader?

I gave a Nokia N152DL to my friend, but no matter how many different ways i try, this phone will absolutely not allow me to perform a hard reset. I also am only able to get a ..."Fastboot On"... in the lower left hand corner of my screen. No matter if I push volume buttons or the power button, nothing changes.

Any suggestions on any secret methods that i can use for this the Nokia N152DL?

I know you said "network settings reset", but I'd specifically go into them and check the APN (Access Point Names) settings and make sure they are correct for Straight Talk. Some providers use 2 APNs, one for regular mobile data and a different set for MMS, so it's possible for mobile data to be working but MMS not. You should be able to find the correct settings on your provider's website.

I am using Android Studio and would like to modify the project templates so I get the theme and other resource values every time I use those tempates.
Is this possible?
