Notification dots problem

So they have notification dots, and an app launcher that won't do dots.
Google needs to stop letting their employees take a 2-hour lunch at the bar.

Notification dots were introduced to Android OS well after the Nexus line of devices was discontinued. The devices still received the OS update (because Google) but the launcher itself didn't get updated. There are plenty of third-party launchers which do support notification dots on Nexus devices - and they're also supported by the Pixel Launcher which ships on Google's Pixel phones.

Email Print Problem

When printing using the stock Samsung Email program on my S8, I find the "from" and date will not print, only the body of the email. I haven't found any options to change. Any suggestions? When I access my email through the Gmail email app, or on a computer, I have no issues. Thank you.

Redmi Note 8 Pro or Realme 5 Pro

L
Going to buy one of these very shortly.

1. Which one would you buy and why?

2. Which one offers best support /updates?

3.Which one would offer best second hand resale value in 12 to 18 months time? Thanks in advance!

Edit - RNP8 is 6/64gb while Realme is 8/128gb. I'm in Ireland but will probably buy from amazon Spain or Germany as its cheaper.

How to build a database with an editable form that stores the item and its quantity, and...

Dan Tudor Morar
Good day everybody

Im very new on Android coding. Please, anyone, tell me how build a database (or another function that stores data) with an editable form (item name and quantity) that stores the item and its quantity, and then on another page and editable form for notes (with save) that you can select and use quantities of the items on the first page :)

I know its simple, but I cant get the code to take the quantity list into the second page.

Thanks

Peace and love

I made a big mistake by purchasing Asus Fonepad 7 FE170CG

So RS10000 translates to about $140, so you will be limited in your selection of devices, but that doesn't mean you can't get a device to suit your needs. I'm not sure what is available in your region but if you can find an Android One device (basically AOSP android) it will have no extra bloat and most likely to let you use all of the memory in it.

When I manage to get the cash I will post Amazon.in links here so that you guys can help me choose a nice model.

Root your Device without Any Damage/Risks to your Phone

It'a back!!

See [here](vmos.com)
Click to expand...

I know but not on Gogle PS besides I have no need for virtual root. I have a fully rooted device with complete r/w access. The only reason I discovered Vmos missing from Google PS is I has a store on Aptoid that I upload various apks. I would not recomend it nor will I disclose the name of my store as I don't think it would be appropriate. Im not here trying to draw members to my store. There are much safer places to get apks from than Aptoid. :)

Help Special Case Android File Recovery

Android Ghost said:
Hello ladies and gentlemen,

I humble myself before the vast wealth of knowledge and experience on this forum, and, as a new user, hope to present you all with an issue you may not have seen before. I will state my problem in points to keep myself on track and so noone gets lost. :)

- I need to recover files from my android device, specifically the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 (I'm British and back home in England, though this was bought in the Philippines maybe 2017.)

- The files include pictures and videos which I previously deleted to make room for lecture videos.

- I cannot access the tablet via software, as the tablet itself repeatedly disconnects from the PC. It seems to do this when there is any interaction, and any direct access to the tablet (which I can gain from Windows Explorer) enables me to see, but not copy files to the desktop.

Important Subpoints:

- The device has MTP enabled

- I have already disabled power management on the USB ports.

- There are one or two USB ports which come back with a malfunction error, but the working USB2 and USB3 ports are all equally problematic.

- My older cable had the same issue, it has since been replaced with a brand new one, neither work

- Attempting to interact via software which handles data copying results in the device being disconnected, after which it immediately reconnects

- Direct attempts to copy return two errors at different times: One being 'A device connected to this system is not functioning', and 'Cyclical redundancy check'.

It is infuriating and frustrating. I have attempted to conjure up a way around this and I will float an idea with you all which may or may not be viable, and in either case I am unsure how to proceed...

I considered other software aid, but with the connection issues and lack of drive letters, it isn't possible to use software like Recover My Files to get back what's lost directly from the tablet.

However, I thought, if I were able to make an image of the tablet and somehow get it from the tablet to the PC, I could use Recover My Files to work on restoring the deleted media.

Would this even be possible? :thinking:

Sorry if this post is in the wrong place, it's absolutely fine if it is moved somewhere else so long as I can find it. I look forward to receiving some of your wisdom and really hope someone here could help me to get my old stuff back.

Huge thanks to everyone in advance, and if anymore info is needed, just tell me what's needed and I will provide it as soon as possible. And I warmly welcome all questions so fire away :)

Cheers :D

If you actually stored these lecture videos. Any previously deleted data will have been overwritten, and no longer exists. In this situation data recovery is impossible, because the deleted data is just not there, there's nothing to recover.

Galaxy S9 Update: Android 10

I
Got it. Not bad, everything went as expected. Looks the same obviously, due to Samsung OneUI being the default for us. There are times when it's not quite as responsive as it should be, but overall it's solid enough to get the job done. Not that it really matters much at this point, as I'll be upgrading to the S20 whenever it comes out... Not sure why we have to wait longer than the S20+ and S20 Ultra but *shrugs* I'll deal.

Turning off the voice response in Google Assistant.

Yes, I had it set to hands free voice response only and for a few months it was working as desired. Google apparently updated something and it is what it is now, unfortunately.

yeah i do not have that option on my note 10+. but the way i see it, if you ask google verbally, then you will get a verbal response. if you ask google via typing, then you should get a text response. i do not recall anyway to ask verbally and get a text response.

@MrJavi i think the device assistant app is not what it appears as it states. i think this app allows the phone to analyze and read the info on the screen so that an app such as doing a google search can use the screen data to perform a search. kind of like using google goggles. it is just a system app. it is not like an accessibility app that will actually read what is shown on the screen, word for word. even in the op's case, accessibility i do not think will help.

curious, was this feature working the way you wanted it to before?

I see your point and well put my friend. To telll you the truth, if there was a valid root solution with a custome recovery on a snapdragon Note 8 and above, I'd own one. Thank you for good information :)
