Help Can't access gallery - not enough memory

T
I had the same problems as percifield in the above post but the solution they provided did not work for me.
I was about to give up and factory reset the phone. So to make the phone ready for this I backed-up all the media I had on the phone. Then I decided to try a few things.

What I did first was to open settings\storage and then "Format USB storage"
On the next screen, it says " Erase all USB storage? You will lose all stored data" with a button "Format USB storage"

After hitting the button a message pops up telling me this will erase all media (photos music etc) from the phone.
I proceed and after completing the operation I was able to access the gallery and I could see that it didn't actually delete any photos or music that I had stored but it did fix the problem. So I can now take photos again and remove and add new music to the phone again.

I really hope this helps someone else out there solve a very frustrating problem and stops you from buying a new phone when you don't need to. :)

Screen overlay

maybe this article might help you:
https://www.howtogeek.com/271519/how-to-fix-the-screen-overlay-detected-error-on-android/
basically it is settings>apps>advanced>special app access>display over apps. is this where you see that the apps are greyed out so there is no way to toggle it on or off?

I checked out the link above. That's my problem for sure. I played around some more with the settings, I got it to work, but I'm not sure what I did to get it to work.
Thanks

Apps I'm having trouble with Constraints

eah, I think that's a bit of an oversight on the forum's part - I suspect it's because the code blocks are really only used in the dev sub-forum, but maybe it could be added in a sticky? (I don't remember ever reading one with that note)

It is in a sticky, but nobody bothers to read it :D;)

Qlink

puppykickr
Definitely restart it.

That is like giving vitamins to a cheap phone.

Not knocking them, I use them too.

And it is working, correct?
Even when it says it is disconnected?

As long as it works I wouldn't worry too much.

I have a device that I use on Wi-Fi only, and when I am downloading apps from an app store it tells me that Wi-Fi is disconnected.

Wi-Fi is all it has, there is no SIM- no cellular service- and the downloads proceed just fine.

Just wondering...
How does one download their own self made APK's?
Like, say if I have a game or even Playstore (and the other services)... can I make my own APKs and give out?
Just wondering where these clever people go the linked APK's from?
Click to expand...
I'm interpreting this quite differently from @svim, i.e., that you're just wanting to know how to create an APK from an existing app. If that's not correct, skip the rest of this! :)

I create mine very easily--by using file managers that do it for me. :) It's an 'app backup' feature in them. (This has saved my ass in the past.) Note, though, that I basically only use paid apps, and wouldn't consider sharing their APKs with anyone.

I was a programmer and sysadmin on UNIX and Linux. Even though Android is a Linux, and writing apps for it should be pretty easy, my circumstances have changed and stuff like that isn't in the cards for me. Right now. :) So instead of learning how to do it myself, I let apps I paid for do it for me.

How Can I Find an IP Address For A FB Account?

Paula5310
Hello Leah.

Police are correct when they said they cant do much with an IP address. However they didn't tell you that they could easily approach the ISP and ask them details about the IP address and to whom it was assigned. Provided the IP is not masked or the user is not using VPN.

If you haven't found out the IP address yet, refer to this guide:
http://www.hacker9.com/find-ip-address-fake-facebook-account.html

In the above guide, just follow the steps provided by the author and once you get the IP, Check the tracking part in the same article.

remember when you get the IP address of the user, It will also mention which phone or computer he is using and also carrier information. This becomes very easy when the culprit is one of your friends of family member as you can easily guess who is using that phone.

Hope this helps.

Help Getting a Terminal on Android device

In what? :thinking:

First, get the common, but incorrect, idea of 'hacker' out of your head. :eek: This article may help, as it explains what the word actually means--and it's not malicious.

Being able to do that and actually doing it are very different things. As are hacking for recreational purposes, and cracking with devious intent.

As for the keyboard, my interest in it is far from new--I've used it forever [in Android time]. And although its name leads to misinterpretation, it's really just an excellent, full keyboard, intended for heavy users of computer keyboards who want their same functionality on Android.
