Android 10, is there a way to adjust alarm volume?

Hadron
Interesting. On the Pixel Notifications are tied to Ring volume, which makes more sense to me since they perform similar functions (audible alerts) while Alarm has a different usage. I wonder why Samsung did it that way?

Though for that matter I've never understood why Google didn't leave well alone and keep Ring/Notification/Alarm as separate settings, as used to be the case.

What's the difference between "Array<Uri>?" and "Array<Uri?>"?

Daniel Fernandes
I get this type mismatch error that I don't really understand, I've been stuck on it for quite a long while and I haven't really figured it out. The error looks like this:

Type inference failed. Expected type mismatch:
required: Array<Uri>?
found: Array<Uri?>

What exactly does the question mark mean and what's the difference in their positions?

I get this error at onActivityResult. The activity has a webview. When the user clicks an "Upload Image" button on the website, the app shows a file chooser, and gets the result back, then the image is sent to webview. Here's its code snippet:

Code: 
override fun onActivityResult(requestCode: Int, resultCode: Int, data: Intent?) {
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data)
        if(resultCode == file_req_code){
            if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_CANCELED) {
                file_path?.onReceiveValue(null) //file_path is the filePathCallback
                return
            }

            if(resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK){
                if (file_path == null){
                    return
                }
                var image: Array<Uri>? = null
                image = arrayOf(data.data) //I get the error here! "arrayOf(data.data)" is underlined in red. 
                file_path?.onReceiveValue(image)
            }
        }
    }

Verizon Ellipsis 10 charging question

C
Ok.
First you state that you are using a USB port to charge the device.

Then you say that you are using a 3½A charger to charge the device. yes i use the usb port on the device to charge the device and the poser supply is a 3.5 amp charger

There is a big difference, as USB is a slow charge. Very slow. i would think 3.5 amps is plenty of power to charge most any device
So slow, in fact, that my crummy 1GB device will slowly discharge while plugged into a USB port if I leave Wi-Fi on.

If the battery is shot, then that is your issue. battery could be bad but it does actually charge up to full power according to the device's own battery monitor.
Check the power cord, even if that cord works o other devices. i have use 3 cords now i have on i got the says itis able to handle 3.4 amps and one that is for tablets from the mfg. and another one that has been charging other tablets just fine.

If there is no way to monitor the milliamps that your charger is providing (settings, battery), then get an app that will do so.

CPU Float
CPU Info
Ampere i will try all of these to see what one may be better for my tastes

This will allow you to compare the charging rate between different cords.

I bet you will be surprised at what you find.

Make sure that the charging port is clean, on both the charger and device ends. can't speak for the device as i got it from ebay but the power supply is new and the cord is new and rated for 3.5 amps

Last but not least, it may be of some use to go through the system apps and any user apps (you did say that it was used, right?) and disable whatever you don't need.

Dim the screen, turn the automatic dimmer off, and force stop any app that you don't use that you can't disable. all i have installed after a factory reset is tinycam monitor and radar and speed test. and yes i went into the system and turned off everything that did not say android or google for systems or deleted all not necessary

Hopefully all this will save enough power and increase the charge rate to a point where it can maintain function for you.


so it charged all night and got up to 80% and this morning i turned it on to view the cameras at 5am and now at 9am it is down to 40%

so that is why i asked if anyone knows if all the battery wires were needed to run this device. my other tablets will run with no battery but this is a verizon phone that is 10" and like most phones seems to not like turning on without the battery. but i'm betting it can run without actually have the battery connect to the point of charging it. i think the battery is bad but they want 50$ for a new battery and for what i use this for that is not o happen. but it does a good job for showing the cameras so if it is fixable i will give it a go if not i will toss in out. as the seller gave me a refund. thanks

No wifi but yes wifi

Unforgiven said:
Public wifi or your home? Any web protection? If it works for a bit, then halts, it sounds like something (e.g. firewall) is cutting it off from phoning home, or filtering the traffic. Especially if other wifi dependent apps continue to work.
Click to expand...

This happens on all wifi and even when I'm using data and even people next to me while using the same wifi have access to the app. Also I don't know if I have any web protection I don't have any specific apps downloaded is there a way to find out?

Help Google Play Services Drain

M
if you do a reset but then restore with a backup that may be faulty, you are reinstalling the issue.

it could be some app you have installed that's not yet compatible with Android 10. unfortunately there's no magic bullet that can fix all the google services issues that we see over the internet because we all have different apps and things installed. i think a hard reset is overkill.

Help Gallery video Preview is not persistent

Mohsin Younas said:
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
Click to expand...
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! :)
