Help Gallery video Preview is not persistent

It really does not matter which folder. The same video will have preview one time and the other time it does not have the preview. There are I think two bugs for now.
1. i mentioned
2. When the video is playing and I grab the playing bar, some time it forward frame by frame and some time it forward seconds by second.

Think andriod is cool but has bugs and inconsistencies

Also, running apps in the background can hog memory. Users generally have little control over this, as the OS takes care of it.

But sometimes the priorities of the OS and the user are different.

This can affect things like the thumbnail playback.
Actually, if you wish to improve battery life and memory usage (improving device performance) then if there is an option to turn this feature off then you should do so. This is like you helping your OS, rather than arguing with it.

Second, different videos are recorded at different frame rates.

That means that some videos have more frames per second than others.

This can easily be the cause of the difference you see when using the control bar to scan within a video.

If you continue to have these difficulties, why not ditch the stock app- which is usually not a great app to begin with- and upgrade to a better one?

This is what makes Android so great, the fact that you can upgrade the parts that you don't like and make the device do what you want it to do.

You have the control.
You just have to use it.

The vast majority of stock video and gallery apps are only there to get a new user by until they find something better.

My personal suggestions would be to try these three apps and see for yourself if any or all of them are superior to the stock app(s) on your device.

Simple Gallery Pro
(Simple Mobile Tools)

X-Player
(In-Shot)

VLC
(VideoLan - Video android)

Stuck in kid's mode - Oppo Reno Z

I am not experienced enough to choose any of the other options as I do not want to lose photos on the phone
Was the phone set up to sync its photos with a cloud service? Google Photos is the most likely possibility, but Amazon Photos, Dropbox, and various other cloud services may apply. If so, you can check the appropriate service to make sure your photos are safe before proceeding with anything destructive, like a factory reset.

If it wasn't set up for that, and/or you have other data on the phone not backed up, you can try resetting your password. From a computer, go to Google's reset password page and step through its process. I've never done this myself, but it seems pretty straightforward. You're going to be asked for identifying information, and you'll have to have access to the e-mail they'll send you.

If you still need help, let us know! :)

Help need a help

I am Also finding the same as these bullshit people did not mentioned that this is SELEVISION property and without SEEVII we cannot even use this ****ing receiver.

Annoying "alerts" on my V30+ - make them stop!

Okay, don't know how to delete previous comment, BUT think I may have fixed this issue. My phone (LGV30+) was doing the same, exact annoying thing...and I dreaded the thought of a 'Factory Reset'. Here is what I did and it worked for my phone.
1. Go to 'Settings'.
2. From the 'Main Menu' click on the magnifying glass (in the upper right-hand corner).
3. Type 'Emergency Alerts' and press 'Enter'
4. Select 'Emergency Alerts' (should be the only option that is available).
5. You should be in the 'Emergency Alerts' App Tab.
6. Press 'Force Stop'.
7. Return 'Home', problem should be fixed (it was on my phone).
8. Enjoy not having to listen to the 'Emergency Broadcasting System's' 1KHz tone any longer. :)

'sup again

It was worth it at @Steven58. I had to warn people about the orange menace. Apparently Android users are not the majority of the US Electoral College. Damn those fruit phone users.

Back in the PocketPC days I too had a run in with absolute power. It corrupts absolutely. Now days I just report racists and don't "Ban Them for Life", not that a Guide could just do that.

Phone has unexplained crashes

I have had my phone for a year and a half now with no issues. I bought it brand new and have kept care of it since. Then yesterday sometime between leaving an event and driving home my phone started lagging. I had been using it all day with no noticeable problems. When I got home I tried to open YouTube and it crashed so I closed and opened it. I did this two more times before attempting to restart my phone. I held the power key down and felt the phone vibrate, but I wasn't prompted either the power off or the restart buttons. Then the screen went off after lagging a bit. When trying to remedy this the phone wouldn't turn on for a minute, the phone vibrated everytime I tried using the fingerprint scanner, as if it recognized it and unlocked, but the screen didn't come on for a while. Then when it did turn on it required me to put in my pin and read "pin required after restarting your device". So I did then this whole process repeated 2 more times, and when it didn't turn itself off most apps crashed and Google wouldn't work either through wifi or data. I plugged my phone in to charge and it worked. I went to sleep with no answers. Next day (today) I woke up to a charged phone that has buzzard problems. My alarm went off with no sound and the clock app crashed. I played music and it came through the phone speakers at full volume and it wouldn't turn down. This happened also when I put earphones in with the phones boxed-in dongle, and when I tried a Bluetooth speaker that I use often. The phone kept playing music full volume through the phone speakers. As I'm rushing to get ready for work I tried a couple more things. Again Google won't work - the pages never loaded, yet Firefox works which is how I am here now. I haven't tried Chrome though, and the Google I tried was just the google widget/app thing I'm guessing. I successfully downloaded an internet security app and avast antivirus software with no problems, and they didn't turn up anything. The one thing that I haven't been able to find out is an unknown notification icon in the status bar. It is a rectangle vertical, with a angled cut in the top right corner making it look like a paper with a fold in it (or even sort of like the SIM icon), but it has an exclamation point in it. And I didn't notice it until I had the crashes started yesterday. I tried a search of what it meant since I have no notification prompt of if and didn't find anything yet. I wish I had more time to research answers but I am at work. As I'm writing this now the phone has not lagged, crashed, etc., but I'm still finding weird problems as I go like no being able to swipe through photos in my gallery? And now Gmail app doesn't work. I'm going to go to a mobile place and ask about it later today, and I hope I have given enough info about my problem here too, but I haven't seen anything like this before on any android I've had

Download digital wellbeing information

The app is probably storing it as internal app data (so a database in the /data/data area, which you'll need root to access), though there may a copy in Google's servers (keeping their own record of how long you use your device and when would be a very "Google" thing to do). I can't see any advantage to Google in keeping the data where you can see exactly what it stores.

My guess is that if it doesn't provide an option to export the data (which I'm sure you've looked for) you are out of luck.

How to remote control a distant android phone on a local android phone

Hi all,

Performed following test;

Internet access is a MUST !

Phone-A
Host Phone (with SIM card to connect Internet)
(enable "Mobile Hotspot Tethering)
install
TeamViewer Control Remote Device

Phone-B
Client Phone (to be controlled)(without SIM card)
install
TeamViewer QuickSupport
and
Add-On: Medion X5004

Remote-control Phone-B on Phone-A works without problem.

It is possible reversing them, Phone-A as Client Phone and Phone-B as Host Phone.

I'm still struggling to find a solution with Bluetooth, i.e Phone-to-Phone without Internet access.

Apps [How-To] Signing ROMs

Hello everyone!

This quick guide will teach you how to sign ROMs!

WARNING : YOU WILL NEED AT LEAST A BASE KNOWLEDGE OF HOW TO USE COMMAND PROMPT.


The knowledge of signing ROMs can prove useful to anyone! By knowing how to sign ROMs, you can modify your favorite ROM to add or delete APKs, so when you flash the ROM your favorite apps will be present! Or you can delete apps you don't use so they will not be installed when flashing the ROM!


Before starting, you need a couple of things. First you will need Java SE Development Kit and Java SE Runtime Environment . You can download them HERE.

After you have downloaded and installed both, you will need a very useful tool made by someone at XDA-Developers (if you know who it is please let me know).

Download this tool (attached) and unzip everything inside of it into one common folder. I personally unzipped everything into my Android SDK folder.


Signing
Now run the autosign.bat. You will have to go through commands 1(Set PATH variable for SDK) ,2 (Set CLASSPATH variable for signing tool) and 3 (Install registry entries). They are very easy to use and just follow the instructions. If you are asked to confirm and/or replace a file, always select yes!

Now you are finally ready to sign! There are two options to sign the .zip

1)Find the ROM (.zip) and right click and select "Resign Zip". If you use this option a command prompt box should quickly appear and disappear.

OR

2) Using the Autosign.bat, select option 4, and then write the directory and file name of the ROM. For example,

D:\Android\ROMs\YourROMHere.zip

It will hang for a bit at the part where it says "signing", and then it should say something along the lines of "Successfully completed if no errors above"

If this helped you, comment below!
