Live feed as American astronauts launch from the US

Ground level from the UK (only a limited number of people are allowed on the CERN site at the moment, and I'm not one of them).

It's quite visible with the naked eye if you know when to look. Though it's only visible for a couple of hours after dusk and before dawn (you need the sky to be dark but the station to be in sunlight), and it doesn't always pass over during that window. On a good pass it can be the brightest thing in the sky apart fromo the moon. In fact I watched it again tonight. There are Android apps that will tell you when it will be visible from your current location, what direction, how bright, and I do have one on my phone.

I'm not sure whether I saw the SpaceX capsule as well: I know it was due around the same time as the ISS, but didn't have accurate information exactly where and when, soo while I did see something else around that time there are other satellites out there as well so I can't be certain that was it (while I've seen ISS often enough that I'm familiar with how it moves, so could probably ID it if I saw it even without knowing the schedule).

That's very interesting and helpful. Thank you.

I would love to see it once so I'll look for those apps when I'm in a good location and weather.

I don't know the future for the ISS (will search tomorrow,: not at 1am) but I hope it will be orbiting for a little while yet.

Please help with mirror casting to Roku TV

svim
Are you trying to use Android's integral casting service to connect with your Roku TV or is your problem with using the actual Roku app itself?

If the former, try using the Roku app instead. If the latter, try accessing your router's menu page and confirm that both your phone and your Roku TV are connected.Also, you initially commented on resetting your phone and TV but you should restart your router too. That's the gateway of your home network, providing the connectivity between your TV and Roku.

no firmware are very device specific. flashing the wrong firmware will make your phone useless. then you will need to flash the correct firmware for your device to work properly again. firmware not only includes the android os, but software that runs your cellular and internet radios. so you can't just flash any firmware you like.

sorry, but if you want samsung pay, you will need to get another phone.

Help How to remove assosciation of Google account and phone

svim
OK, so it sounds like you did change the Google account over (from Account1 to Account2) successfully. The problem could be while that applies to your phone (Play Store, device tracking, etc. should now be tied to Account2) that doesn't necessarily mean all your installed apps have been changed over too.

Apps/services directly tied to the user account (in this case, your Account2) will be automatically changed over but a lot of apps are based on the user login/password that you initially set up for them to use. An example being an email app will be using your email address/password as authentication -- it could be your primary Gmail account, a secondary Gmail account, or a completely different email service (i.e. Outlook, Yahoo Mail, etc.) as you can set up any email service as your default.
So just to repeat what @Hadron asked, what was the source of that message that popped up? It could be just a matter of going into the Settings menu of that app to change it accordingly.

That depends on your carrier rather than the handset.

Personally I just buy a new phone and stick my SIM in it, and that's the end of it. My account and my handset are entirely separate. If you have to buy through a carrier then if it's the same one surely it's just an upgrade and hence the number would stay the same. If you are changing carriers then being British I don't know how well the US system works for that.

Is the other call WhatsApp, a similar app (FB Messenger, etc) or an actual cellular voice call? If it's another WhatsApp call then I'll be very surprised, but if it's a different system then sloppy software could share the mic input with both apps. Whether that's a WhatsApp bug, an android problem or a Samsung failure is harder to say.

Huawei u8180 missing ID for GooglePlay

svim
I agree with @mikedt
There's not a real fix for this. You've got a very dated phone running a long unsupported version of Android. It's old hardware and obsolete software so there are going to be a lot of unavoidable compatibility issues.
Use it as a media player or something like that at home, but using it for any online access will be a problem. Also keep in mind that very few developers still maintain apps for such a dated device so using things like an old web browser app will involve a lot of security vulnerabilities.

When ever i click yolo link in snapchat it opens yolo in playstore

mikedt
Never heard of it and I don't use Snapchat. But sounds like something that can only be viewed with this Yolo app, and if you don't have the app on your device, it redirects you to download and install it from the Play Store. Sometimes with these things, if you go to their website with a browser, it just redirects you to the Google Play Store and/or Apple App Store, to install their app.
