Help Apps randomly exiting while I'm typing

Hadron
The obvious cause would be just what you said it is "as if": touching the home button while typing, probably while hitting the space bar. Happening more often when you type faster (and hence likely less accurately) would support that hypothesis.

I've never had this myself, or seen complaints about it elsewhere, but that's my guess. Of course if you have Android 10 and are using the "gesture" navigation that's less likely, since it would require swiping up rather than just touching and so harder to trigger with an accidental touch.

You could try SwiftKey: in its settings there's an option to resize the keyboard which allow you to introduce some space between the keyboard and the navigation area. It would require retraining your muscle memory as they keys would be slightly higher up, but once that was done there would be less risk of accidental presses on the home button.

You'd not have had it on the iPhone because you were either using a swipe action for home rather than a button, or else a physical button that was well below the keyboard (depending on what model iPhone you had).

Help Respectful Suggest To Iranian Government

Dear Iran,

After downing your own passenger jet and military support ship, may I respectfully suggest more target practice?

Be careful where you go with this: the US does not have a good reputation internationally for careful and discriminate targetting, whether that's air strikes on civilians (such as weddings) in Afghanistan, Pakistan and the Middle East or friendly fire incidents from the Gulf wars all the way back to WWII: my grandfather told me that the closest he came to death in that war was when American fighters strafed his camp. And since you mention passenger jets don't forget Iran Air flight 655, shot down by the USS Vincennes while flying its normal scheduled route within Iranian airspace.

HTC 10 has a bad antenna can this be fixed?

Hadron
It's not "preferred network" but "preferred network type". Verizon are CDMA-based, so you want the list of options to include CDMA and EvDo (2G and 3G) and also LTE (4G). There's no harm in it including other types as well (useful if you ever travel abroad), but those are the minimum. My Pixel is by default set to "LTE/CMDA/EvDo/GSM/WCDMA (PRL)", which covers everything except some Chinese networks, but you may not have a single option which includes all of those.

If it already has the ones you need covered, leave it alone. Don't fiddle with stuff you don't need to. I mainly provided the instructions for that menu in case the previous person had been playing with it and didn't realise what they'd done: if you've not messed with that previously you shouldn't need to now, since the phone's Settings don't let you select options that should stop it working with your carrier, whereas in that menu you can do that, which is why playing with it was a possible cause of the problem.

Help Poblano VLE5

That phone is really not so bad, by the way.

Considering what it is, and the price, they really are a pretty good device.

Much better than what I started out with, which is actually what I am typing this out with.

Sure, it has no snob appeal.

But I enjoy using mine to its full capacity and doing more with it than most people do with their more capable devices.

Low Battery Life

What would your guys opinion be of this replacement:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33027636669.html

The seller has a 5 star rating, and the product has generally very favorable reviews. Of course I have no way of ensuring a good product other than making the seller agree that their product will last me another 4-5 years minimum.

Otherwise I get a refund. :D
Click to expand...

Good luck with getting that refund.
Even manufacturers don't guarantee batteries for that long.

Anyway, if the general consensus is that the seller and product are good, then compare the price with other similar results.

Match your battery by the model number of the battery, rather than whatever phone it fits.

I actually had excellent luck just by entering the model number into my browser and doing a search.

ic_launcher...png files

Hi

I try to work with Android Studio. I started some interesting tutorials. When I made a small project in Kotlin, there haven't been any problems compiling the app. But now I made something in Java and every time there is always the same error message:

C:\Users\Peki\Documents\Projekte\Programming\Anroid\ActivityDemo\app\src\main\res\mipmap-hdpi\ic_launcher.png: AAPT: error: file failed to compile.

Any idea? I tried to find something on the net but unfortunately nothing helped.

Thanks.

You have a system notification sound, that you set from your phone settings menu.
You'll get notifications from A LOT of different apps. You have the choice to disable their notifications either in the app itself or the app info page, in the device settings.

Personally, I hate my phone constantly beeping, or chiming, so I simply turn them off. I do allow Textra, along with voicemail notifications.

Someone, earlier, suggested Zedge for downloading different notification sounds and I use it to customize my ringtones, along with custom notifications that I use with macrodroid.

I don't understand why your phone is excluded. Verizon VM is installed on mine and if I want messages transcribed, I have the option to upgrade to their Visual VM.

Strange Icon in Notification shade

Eddie Greenheart
Hadron said:
Ah, you mean icons in the 'dock'! I took 'above the home button' too literally (as something special directly above the home button, rather than the row of icons above the navigation bar).

But extra icons appearing there is odd, not least because the number of icons in the dock is generally fixed (or you need to go into the launcher's settings to change it). Do these appear in place of other icons or as well? Are they the same size? Do they only appear at certain times (e.g. if you press the phone icon you'd get a pop-up above it with frequently-called numbers), and do they disappear by themselves?

Most phone apps have ways of adding contact shortcuts, which could conceivably happen accidentally if you let your finger linger too long in the wrong place. But I'd not expect them to appear in the dock.
Click to expand...

I think it's because I use MIUI instead I am able to add my own shortcuts there.

As for the duplicate icons, I haven't noticed this behaviour the last few days. I would unlock my screen to see occasionally there were 2 call/contacts buttons there. Not sure why, but so far it has stopped.

Still no more appearances of that weird icon either. Scanned with a Spyware specific app too, still nothing found.

Help How to uninstall application on android 6.0.1

It is amazing the junk that carriers will put on their phones, especially if the developer pays them to do it.
On the plus side, most of the app will be in the ROM, which isn't space you can use anyway even if you could remove it. So you don't really lose anything by just disabling it rather than rooting and removing.

what this icon is

SuperLuis said:
It's on my girlfriend's cell phone and I don't have access, I just suspect it is some dating app.
Click to expand...
Yeah I knew that would be the case: we get one or two of these most days and it's always the same story. If some of the reactions seem a bit jaded, that's why.

I hesitate to offer anyone relationship advice, but realistically your options are to ask her, to forget about it, or to be worried and suspicious and let that destroy the relationship. There are hundreds of thousands of apps out there (including a frankly staggering number with strawberry themes - who knew?) so the chances of someone recognising a particular app from the notification icon icon are very slim (and on the rare occasions we can it's usually a fitness app or a "like" notification from some social network, because things that look like hearts are the most common prompt for such queries).

Out of curiosity I did check and there is actually an app called Strawberry Dating. Before you panic though the icon looks nothing like that, and as it's only had about 100 downloads in total and a solitary one star review you'd be pretty safe even if she had installed it ;).

Frame Drop with HD videos

M
your issue is not going to be fixable over the internet. you may need to contact samsung.

without seeing your phone and what you have installed, it could be anything causing your issue.

if you have a way to record a video of your phone stuttering so those over the internet can visually SEE what you are talking about, that may be helpful.

there could be a rogue app that is not updated to the latest firmware or you could have some settings that were altered -- its just to big of a rabbit hole.

for grins I just tried some random videos using the VANCED version of youtube (3rd party) and all videos played fine. even in whatsapp conversations. I even used another 3rd party youtube viewer and no stuttering.

worse case a factory reset may be in your future.

edit: use your phones camera to record some random video around the house in the max frame rate and resolution. play it back using a couple of different video players. do you see any stuttering?

s10e Voicemail

A
I have a new LG now and it lacks visual voicemail. It's an unlocked Verizon phone, and apparently a lot of people have had trouble with this. I'm tempted to return it and get the 10e instead. Does anyone out there have an unlocked Verizon 10e, and if so can they tell me if it was possible to get a visual voicemail app on their phone? Right now I have to go through the phone keypad and listen to a robot voice tell me what time the call came in, the number it came from, its duration, etc. Very tedious every time I get a VM. It seems astounding that Verizon (or LG?) made it this way, and it seems like a big FU to anyone who made the mistake of buying an unlocked phones (apparently Verizon phones don't have this problem, even LGs). Thanks!
