Is there a captcha-like call blocker?

Here's what I can come up with..
A few months ago I was doing Flex(Amazon delivery on my own car)..and I called the customer so she can come down to retrieve her package..when I called her some guy answered the phone..in the background there was like a hundred kids screaming and just being kids..that's what they do, right??..any way so the guy would in the mid time telling me some story and he would talk endlessly..but I thought the whole time he was talking to me..
So since I was in a hurry I hanged up and call again and the same story..but the weird thing is that I was convince he was talking to me..then I hanged up and call again..this time I was able to talk to the lady customer..she came down for her package and apologize she sent me to that "zoo"..it literally was a nightmare zoo for me..I listened to that guy's story for at least 10 minutes with no ending bla bla bla bla..
I though that was an ingenios app..

Now I can tell you, I've downloaded it..but I have not used it yet..I don't know if it's in the play store since I don't mess with it..

jpay5s

OK, so say you go the straight route and send your tablet to JPay to be unlocked. If all goes well, and you get back an unlocked tablet (and not a thumb drive & a sorry note from JPay). What do you have? An old tablet with old software. What can you do with it and how far can you update it?
I know my old 486 still runs, but it's a museum piece and has hit the end of it's upgrades long ago.
So is it even worth the effort as anything more than an intellectual exercise?

Release App from Android Studio Canary

Hi,

I have just watched the Android Dev Conference videos and see there are some cool new features (Motion Layout, Compose etc) that I would like to take advantage of.

My question is, if I build an app with a version of Android Studio that is in Canary (or Beta) am I likely to face issues being able to publish it on the store? I fully understand that the features may not be 100% complete or stable at this point. What I really want to know is a submission likely to be rejected or subject to other blockers?

Thanks

Help [problem with xperia xz2 charger]

There are generally two modes of charging for phones- USB and AC.

Forget about the fact that DC current and a USB cable are used for both- I am just stating what they are called on your phone.

USB is very slow charging, and is what you get from the USB jack of a laptop or the like.

AC is the fast charge that you get from an adapter plugged into the wall.

If you are using the charger that it came with, and it is plugged into the wall, go to:

Settings
Battery

Here you should see a notation of what type of charge the phone is getting.

If you are using the wall charger, and the phone says 'USB Charging' (or similar) the first thing to do is to try a different cord with the same charger.

A damaged, cheap, or too long of cord can have enough current drop to cause the issue you describe.

Here is a screenshot of my Battery page, when I am using a 1.5A charger with a flat 10' long cord.

If I was using a bad cord, or if I was plugged into a computer's USB jack for charging, it would say 'USB' instead of 'AC'.

Firmware Issue on SM-S55TL

I recently used a combination file on my SM-S550TL (Tracfone) On5, and have been unable to get the stock firmware to work via Odin.

The combination file I used ended in S550TLUDUAQJ1, and for the life of me I haven't been able to find a firmware that works.

Has anybody else ran into this problem or have any suggestions as to what I should do?

Fetching 2 Data Sources

Im trying to make my app display 2 different kinds of array lists on another screen with my getMyIntent(). I need to have 2 Serializables but do I need a different bundle for the second list? How do I display it correctly?

public void getMyIntent() {
//Only have 1 intent not 2, 1 intent for one screen
Intent intent = getIntent();

Bundle bundle = intent.getBundleExtra("intentExtra");
Bundle bundleTwo = intent.getBundleExtra("intentExtraTwo");

Serializable bundleContent = bundle.getSerializable("bundleContent");
Serializable bundleContentTwo = bundle.getSerializable("bundleContent2");

DCollection dataCollection = (DCollection) bundleContent;

accountList = dataCollection.getClientArray();

for (int i = 0; i < accountList.size(); i++) {
String strI = String.valueOf(i);
forAccount.setText(strI);
}


CustoCollection custoCollection = (CustoCollection) bundleContent;

customerList = custoCollection.getPersonArray();

for (int i = 0; i < customerList.size(); i++) {
String strI2 = String.valueOf(i);
forCustomer.setText(strI2);
}
}
}

DOes Skydroid use data plan

When I have used Skydroid which is a fabulous golf app I have not incurred any data usage. It is recieving your position from satellites and all additional information from the app and the course information. As you move the satellites up date your position and adjusts your new distance to the green is calculated by the app.
Phew, after 8 years at least that's settled. :p

j/k Welcome to the forums @Mike Bradburn, what brings you here?

End of Life for S5

The S5 is still a viable device, but the lack of updates can be an issue with some apps as Mike indicated. Also depending on your usage and needs the storage and memory may not be sufficient (16GB internal/2GB RAM). I used my S5 for several years and was very happy with it, but earlier this year I realized it was time for something newer and got an S9.
You can probably continue using the S5 for a while as long as it continues to work well but its limitations will only become more obvious over time. I'd recommend looking around for a more current device.
When you do finally upgrade to a newer phone you can still make use of the S5 as a wifi device for plenty of uses, such as music streaming and various utilities. As one of the last mainstream phones with an IR blaster it can be used as a universal remote.

Catalina broke my IDE: Where are the SDKs?

I've installed the sdk on a Mac, though I've never found time to use it. I don't see why the platform would matter - unlike Apple, Google have no vested interest in forcing people to buy a particular computer in order to develop for Android.

I'm leaving Catalina for another month or 2 though - wait at least until Christmas, when I'll have time to deal with any problems.
