Help Cannot access internal phone memory through terminal or shell

Keep in mind that the Termux app is its own pseudo-container and starts up with just one user. And while you can install your own mini-CLI-only distro within it, it's still not going to give you root privileges to the host operating system (i.e. You can install the proot apk to go crazy within Termux but it's still a running as a non-root app, just like the My Files app, so you cannot get unfettered access to the system-level directories in the Android OS itself.

USPS bs

Um...I posted a screenshot successfully using the site with Firefox. :thinking:

Your problem is not FF; the days of programming for only certain browsers are long gone, and even if that still existed, FF would definitely be one of the supported browsers. You're having some other problem, like using an old version...or something.

Maybe the javascript is turned off in the FireFaux settings?

Alarm audio to external speaker

Some devices default the alarm to the built in speaker.

Personally, I wish that mine did.

Whenever I have speakers connected via wire or bluetooth, the alarm will come out of the speakers, and not the built in one on the device.

The problem is that it means that I must remember to have the volume set at half volume at the most, or else it will overdrive the speakers (possibly causing damage).

Then, when the speakers are not connected, I must remember to turn the alarm volume back up again.

Of course, I forget to do either.

So my guess is that is why your device is the way that it is.

"Couldn't Query Documents" Message

The images may be in an incompatible (with your Gallery app) format, or they may have been moved from where they were originally downloaded. They may not even exist on the device (there are a few different reasons why).

Try finding the images with the file manager, and selecting them from there.
If they exist, and still wont open, then inspect the format if the image. The name of the image should end with .jpg or .png or similar. I have downloaded images that only needed me to add one of these to the name and then they would work. Other times, I would need to change the format.

There are apps that can do this, but I usually just use an on-line service that is free.

If you are atill using the stock Gallery app, a better choice may be an upgrade to something like Simple Gallery Pro.

It handles images and videos.

Help The Google app is eating up battery

Do you use the Google app?

If not (and I don't), then you can uninstall all updates and then open the app and reset all your settings in it.

Leave it be at this point.

If you do use the Google app, you can clear the cache and see if that helps (no resetting of the settings needed).

If you are still having the issue, then try clearing the data of the app.

You will then need to reset all your settings in the app.

You might at that point open the Google Play Store and see if there is an update for the Google app.

Log into Android email

Help. I'm trying to figure out how to log into my Android work profile email. When I log into exchange it says already logged in but I'm not. It won't let me see my work profile emails.

What Hadron said. Exchange.. How is it administered? What email client app are you using? Does your company have a help page describing how to set up your phone, i.e., protocol, ports, security, that sort of stuff?

Not sure if there is a problem with the video tag or any configuration specific to Android in Cordova. Is there any plugin specific to Android Cordova need to be installed or changes to video tag to be done.

Problem with View "full screen app"

Hi, I have bought recently this tablet. I need to buy a new tablet, and then also I thought I could play with the desktop version of hero wars, with facebook page in chrome, having a larger display, since they are forced to play it with my mobile phone Lenovo with android 7 (see attached picture), which has by default the possibility to have the full screen view. Now with this device, with android 8 ,I can't find the same option, how can I do? This is a limitation not to be able to take full advantage, throughout the entire display, rather than a box, which among other things allows you to play because you open the windows that you cannot close, as I imagine dimensioned for viewing the display from the desktop. Thanks in advance.
