Screen problem, trying to mirror to PC

Are you quite sure about that? If they're Android apps and available in the Play Store, you can!

Use a browser on a computer [or other device] and go to the app in the Play Store. Select its 'install' option; you should then be prompted to choose which device to install it on. Of course, you have to be logged in to your Google account for this to work.

Let us know if that doesn't solve the problem!

ANDROID NUMBERS??

MoodyBlues
Hi there, CANARYFAN! I was going to welcome you to Android Forums, but I see you've already asked to have your account deleted. :( Was it something we said? :thinking:
I have message on my network and phone provider
Click to expand...
By "my network and phone provider," do you mean one entity, or two? I mean, is your network one thing [networked computers] and your phone provider another [like AT&T or Sprint]? Or do you mean all one thing?
saying that a Android item causing some concern with my wifi
Click to expand...
Where are you seeing that? On your computers or your Android device(s)?
Message is ANDROID AND NUMBERS 1F7768631BC9EEEE HOW CAN I FIND OUT WHAT THIS IS ?? THANKS.
Click to expand...
I'm confused! Please post either a screenshot of the message or, by itself, the exact message.

And it's always helpful to know which version of Android you're using and on which device.

ETA: That character string you posted, 1F7768631BC9EEEE, looked familiar, but I couldn't place it. I can now: it looks like a FedEx or UPS tracking number. This makes me very suspicious. Perhaps you're dealing with a phishing or other fraudulent attack.

Locked out Secure startup PIN

Hi,
I have a problem with my LG G5 (but saw it happens in other LG phones)
I have a PIN screen lock and I changed it a couple of days ago.
I was talking on the phone when it restarted (I remember the battery was hot).
Now the phone is on "Secure startup" and I had 30 tries to unlock it (15 remained).
I have the "white" screen (and can't get to the "black" screen, more details down).

I saw a number of posts on this issue.
I can only enter PIN (no character keyboard).
I tried the current and previous PIN. Also tried: 0, 0000, 00000, PUK code.
Some of those tried also on safe mode.
When tried to fill the screen with zeros as much as possible and tried to unlock, I got a screen that said something like (translated):
In order to open the lock, turn off the phone and power it on again.
Did it but didn't change. Than I thought I should have pressed restart (instead of turning off and then on) but didn't got to this screen, just stayed on the same screen with one try less.

I can get to factory reset, only this option yes/no.
I don't want to hard reset because some files are not backed up.
Also can get to Fastboot mode and Download mode.

If I restart (or power off and on) the phone is on flight mode.
I can call to emergency numbers, and when I call and hangs up, suddenly there is a cellular connection and 4G data.
In this situation I can receive calls, but still can call only emergency numbers.

The phone is not rooted and I don't use special ROM or something like that.
From time to time it makes tick sounds (like pressing a button) every few seconds. The rest of the time it doesn't make any sound.
The computer recognizes the phone and installs the driver - "Android bootloader interface" but I can't see the phone on my computer.
Also tried to connect through Google Find but it can't locate the phone and the lock option there doesn't seem to do anything (writes request sent).

I also have a memory card, do you know if the data on it is OK? (I don't have a card reader)

There is a problem contacting stores because of the Corona.
Appreciate any help,
Thanks very much!

unwanted ad upon starting

you are better off factory resetting and loading from scratch. you'll probably never find the app thats causing your issues.
Click to expand...
that is exactly what i did and i no longer have the trouble, what are relief, just imagine i need to close three ads each time when starting the phone. lucky me that in the old phone it was so set up that all photos and docs were stored in the sd card so when i put it in the new one, they are all there..
thanks for all.

Verizon note 9 N96OU, root possible?

...there is nothing out there by Google that comes close to the Note 9, and that includes the Note 10. :p
Click to expand...
hey!!!! i love my note 10+ . it beats anything that i have ever owned in the past. probably keep this for a while which i never do.

but i agree that it is just not worth rooting the snapdragon note 9....even if it is possible. if you want to root a device stay away from samsung snapdragon devices. get a google pixel phone instead.

Why do shortened video become much larger in file size?

C
Is this a problem that can be fixed?

Scenario:

I make a recording that ends up a certain size (e.g. 423 MB). I used the in-app editor to shorten the video with perhaps 10 percent at the edges. The resulting shortened video file ends up being closer to twice the size (695 MB).

It seems so unecessary since the you can't improve the quality of the original recording. It would seem reasonable that shortened videos become smaller in file size when using no compression or the same level of compression as the original. I thought this would be the standard behaviour of a shortening function.

Resource collision after "Foursquare" dependency injection for Android native app development:

I
Hello guys: I’m using the next scenario for Android native applications development:

Android Studio 3.6.2

Graddle plugin 3.6.2

Graddle version 5.6.4

Kotlin version 1.3.61

I write the next dependency injection in my build.graddle.

implementation 'com.foursquare:foursquare-android-oauth:1.1.0'

When I build the project, and only after this injection (in packaging stage), I get this error:

Entry name 'res/drawable/notification_bg_low.xml' collided

As I have found in my personal search, in the project "build.properties" file, I add the next entry to fix the error:

packagingOptions {
exclude 'res/drawable/notification_bg_low.xml'
}

The collision is solved, but another collissions appear. The collision (which are found one in each build process) are the next ones:

Entry name 'AndroidManifest.xml' collided
Entry name 'res/drawable/notification_bg.xml' collided
Entry name 'res/drawable/notification_bg_low.xml' collided
Entry name 'res/layout/notification_template_part_time.xml' collided
Entry name 'res/layout/notification_template_part_chronometer.xml' collided
Entry name 'resources.arsc' collided

The only way I have found so far to fix this is to add all this files in my Project build.graddle file:

packagingOptions {
exclude 'AndroidManifest.xml'
exclude 'res/drawable/notification_bg.xml'
exclude 'res/drawable/notification_bg_low.xml'
exclude 'res/layout/notification_template_part_time.xml'
exclude 'res/layout/notification_template_part_chronometer.xml'
exclude 'resources.arsc'
}

I don't know if this is the correct solution. I don't know if excluding files from packaging is correct or not.

Can you help me, please?

Thak you in advance.

Build can’t find dependency injection from Foursquare library in Graddle

Implementation 'com.foursquare:foursquare-android-oauth:1.1.0'

The next class: android.net.ConnectivityManager

can’t be found in the build process. Or at least it hasn't the expected properties.

I have implemented the next method to detect internet connection:

package com.example.ejoauth.networkconnection

import android.content.Context
import android.net.ConnectivityManager
import android.net.NetworkCapabilities

class NetworkConnectionStatus {

companion object {

// This code depends on the target SDK version
fun isInternetAvailable(context: Context): Boolean {
var result : Boolean = false
val connectivityManager: android.net.ConnectivityManager = context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE) as android.net.ConnectivityManager
val network : android.net.Network = connectivityManager.activeNetwork ?: return false // <---- Error
val nwCap : android.net.NetworkCapabilities = connectivityManager.getNetworkCapabilities(network) ?: return false // <---- Error
result = when {
nwCap.hasTransport(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_WIFI) -> true
nwCap.hasTransport(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_CELLULAR) -> true
nwCap.hasTransport(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_ETHERNET) -> true
else -> false
}
return result
}
}
}

During the build process, the next errors are thrown (only appears after "Foursquare" dependency injection)

D:\clcwork\kotlin\EjOauth\app\src\main\java\com\example\ejoauth\networkconnection\NetworkConnectionStatus.kt: (15, 69): Unresolved reference: activeNetwork D:\clcwork\kotlin\EjOauth\app\src\main\java\com\example\ejoauth\networkconnection\NetworkConnectionStatus.kt: (16, 79): Unresolved reference: getNetworkCapabilities

It seems like "Foursquare" libraries overwrite some clases or packages with another implementation in which attributes or methods are lost. The only solution I have found so far is not implementing this method “NetworkConnectionStatus.isInternetAvailable”. But this is not a solution. As you can see, I'm indicating packages explicitly in my code.

Can you help me, please?

Thak you in advance.

Fix broken kitchen sink disposal

olbriar
I'm very happy to hear that you freed your stalled disposal. The furnace is not something to mess around with or second guess my friend. A number of things need to be working well to produce heat and be safe. Most importantly is that it is vented. Carbon monoxide is a bi-product of the burning action of the gas and it is odorless and is a killer. Most all modern forced air gas heaters will not run until a positive forced exhaust is running and they have a piezo striker ignition vs a pilot light. If your unit lacks these things it's likely older and should be checked by a professional. If it's just a matter of relighting the pilot light and it's off and running... do us the favor of buying a CO sensor to mount in the furnace closet. We don't want to lose you due to a faulty furnace.

Unable to text son

SSBG said:
The only way I could find to remove my son's multiple addresses was to remove him as a contact. When I made a new contact for him, using his same phone number, I can no longer call or text him. I have to dial his number. I want to be able to text and call him, without dialing his number.

are you using google contacts or samsung contacts? are they sync'd?
