Is there a flashlight gesture?

NightAngel79
surfer44 said:
I've used moto phones in the past that have chop to turn on the flashlight which i find really convenient. You just chop your hand twice and the flashlight comes on, even if the screen was locked. I used it all the time.

Does samsung have something similar? I can't find anything like that in my menu. What do you all use?
Thx!

Those apps Steven linked are probably best option. Best built in function is probably pinning flashlight to quick launch side menu, which should be turned on my default.

I'm lost - please help.

Some further info as follows...
I looked at the "my files" route, but found this convoluted and a little confusing (dont forget I'm a novice) but thanks for the suggestion.
From a google search came the following 'fix' - that gelled with the functions on my wife's S5.
Find and tap settings> Apps
Tap the app that you want to move to the SD card
On the next screen shot - this contains the word storage - tap on this
If the app supports changing where it is stored - a change button appears - hit this button
Tap SD card > then move
Transfer will then take place.
So in fact the ability to transfer is still within the Samsung set up - just a different route to get there!

In regard to es file explorer - my wife has found a third party app that apparently suits her needs. I will however look to Aptoide (My thanks to Xavier Black for this suggestion)
My thanks to all who took the time and trouble to help me with this one

Pixel 4a leaks! A great looking phone!

Hadron said:
I've used LCDs and AMOLEDs, and don't get this "AMOLED good, LCD bad" stuff. I've seen good and bad examples of both, both have their pros and cons. For me that's not an issue - I'll judge on the individual screen (my current phone is OLED by the way, but that wasn't a factor in the choice).

Storage is my main concern, because Google have a long history of aiming low in this respect. But maybe if the rumoured 5g version is real they'll put more storage in that? At least the "starting from" in the price leak is promising, as that implies more than one model.

Have to agree here. Even offering 64gb on the regular 4 is a travesty. NO WAY that should be an option on a "flagship". On for the budget line, better have an option with more storage.

Apps onRequestPermissionResulti in fragment

R
After beating up my head on the wall, I found the answer:
Inside the Fragment, I insert this code to Intent to call the camera:

Java: 
Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.Action_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
// The number 1, below, is my code for camera
getActivity().startActivityForResult(intent, 1);

And into MainActivity (which fragment belongs), I insert the code below:

Java: 
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int requestResult, @Nullable Intent data){
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, requestResult, data);
    int result = requestCode;
}

I'll feel me so glad if this code could help someone else, because, in the Internet, help is so hard.

lilooshb said:
hey

lately my bf's google account history has been showing me weird activity on my boyfriend's Galaxy J2 prime cellular that he hasn't been showing before until a month or so ago.

so first of all it started showing me activities such:
Used com.sec.knox.switcher
Used com.sec.knox.knoxsetupwizardclient

which i have no idea what do they mean since i know that knox is not coming on this device.
is it possible to download it? i've heard it isn't so i'm confused.

plus it has started showing activities such using Samsung activities (settings, calls)whatsapp, facebook, camera, claculater etc and before never showed it.

plus it used to show me what term exactly he was searching when using google chrome now it shows me only this:

View attachment 128035
same when using google maps it only shows: used google navigation and transit which before showed me what he was searching and which directions he was looking for.

Just for your own reference, with Samsung devices there are three other 'modes' to boot up into using various combinations of the Power, Home, Volume Up, and Volume Down buttons:
Safe Mode

Help How do I use intent in such a way that it only switches on two pages without creating any more?

P
Hi

I was wondering if it is possible to make an app that can switch only between two activities without creating new every time. For example I have MainActivity and Main2Activity. In MainActivity there is a world clock running after pressing a button, and a second button that switch the screen. In the other activity, there is, let's say, a notepad for example and a button that switch back to MainActivity. So, I want to build this app in the way of just switching between these two activities. What I mean by that? Let's run our imagination. We press the first button and the textview which was previously in 00:00:00 format, immediately indicates the world time. Then I press the second button. It brings me to Main2Activity. I write something in the notepad and press the button. It brings me back to MainActivity. I see the world clock still running. I press the second button of MainActivity. It brings me to Main2Activity. Here I see everything I wrote on the first time. I write something additional in there, and press the button again. It brings me back to the MainActivity. I see the world clock still running. I do this process again, and again and again...

I have tried this logic but it definitely didn't work.. I pressed the button, and it indicates the world clock as I thought. Then I pressed the button. It brought me to Main2Activity... I wrote something in there and pressed the button... The world clock was stopped working, and indicated a 00:00:00 by default. I went to notepad, and all the text I wrote was gone! I pressed the "back" button and seen the world clock running, and the text I wrote as well. Then I realized that intent component just creates new pages, that's all!

Now here's the question. How to prevent this happening? How to make this app just switch between activities, instead of creating new pages all the time?


I have explained this as better as I could... I can't explain this better than that.

Help Not Eligible for Pre-Order Bonus?

How do we redeem this promo? do we have to have the shop samsung app?
Click to expand...

If you bought from Samsung website it looked like it would let you immediately redeem. I bought from Bestbuy though. As long as you pre-ordered on or before 3/5 you should be eligible. And I believe using the Shop Samsung app is required. Go to app, sign in, then go to inbox, you should have a 'check eligibility' link where it asks you for IMEI, with a handy shortcut that jumps right to phone settings, then long press IMEI to copy, then hit back to get back to promo and put in #. Mine said I wasn't eligible for a week then just today finally worked and went though.

Yeah, its the parametric eq I could never get to grips with. I can remember spending hours tweaking it, and still wasn't that happy. Went back to PA, disabled direct control, installed V4A and a good IRS - job done.

Only now have found some updated V4A recovery flashable zips on xda, that include some Sony mods plus a V4A Atmos hybrid that I'm going to have to try now lol.

Accessories PowerPie 45watt

J_Hansen
I didn't know about the 20.000mah limit in Asia. (reason for 26.800 I did alright)
Another good reason for liking this PowerPie :)

I found an interesting PPS power supply for the car so waiting for that to arrive to do some test/review, it got dual ports 55w PPS and 18w QC 3.0 simultaneously.
If it delivers the expected/hoped then it should be a good one for an office on the road

I have a car charger coming that do 45w PD/ 55w PPS simultaneously with 18w QC 3.0
I'll do a separate topic for testing/reviewing that when it arrives, it should be a good travel companion for people on the roads for work.

Bump to an old thread
Today I received a 73W car charger with PD/PPS charging ability that I will test out in real life over the next couple of weeks (it's a car charger and I don't do a lot of driving because of the Corona thing)
Charger is QC3.0 18W / PD3.0 45W /PPS 55W.
I'll do a separate thread on it once I get started testing.
