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

Also, I wanted to play the amazing demo videos I saw in the store but they are no longer there and I can't find them on line. Anyone know how to find them?

Store models generally have special demo software installed on them that is not part of the device's normal software. So I expect that they simply are not on your device.

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'.

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?

That certainly is a viable, different approach to take, just keep in mind it doesn't have to be a recently installed app but the problem could be due to an update applied to an existing app.

Yes, absolutely. Since we're dealing with such an old Android version, this is very possible.

Just found this info which should enable you to move your Apps. Make sure you read the complete link to understand the risks before you jump in.

The Sim unlock for that device can be done, who's the carrier?

Hi! I have the same radio. Can you clarify what you did to connect the external mic.

From what I understand you just need to cut the original microphone and solder the new one?

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);
}
}
}

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.


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

Try holding volume down and power while connecting it to the USB cable. Keep holding the buttons until you see download mode or home, volume down and power while connecting the device to the USB cable.

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.

Is there any tuturial about rss feed implementing in sketchware apps

Sorry, but what has a screen protector to do with charging the battery?

If charging the battery affects the adhesion of a screen protector then I'd get your phone or charger checked, as there's something badly wrong there.

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.

I have an LG G4, model LGUS991, running Android 5.1.

Smart Lock used to work when I was at home or close to either my smart watch or car infotainment system. Now it's stopped, and I can't restart it.

Lock Screen/Screen Security/Smart lock says "Keep phone unlocked with trusted device or place." It show on-bodyy detection as on, my home as the trusted place, and my trusted devices as my smartwatch and both cars' Bluetooth systems. None of these work, however.

Security/Advanced Settings/Trust Agents shows only "Smart Lock (Google)" which is toggled On.

Support or not, it is still the only one that syncs up with my RoadRunner email.

I'm still using it too, but I keep getting new issues as time progresses. And I can't find a replacement. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ferocity said:

I also have Tutu App, Lucky Patcher, and a pro version of KineMaster I got online. I don't know if these are the problem.

I think either one of those could be the problem, as they do both come from China. I suspect they're probably using Alibaba's data mining and ad services for their monetization. Suggest you unnstall them.

As for Lucky Patcher, that's for doing theft, which is very much frowned upon here on AF. But I do suggest you uninstall it, as it might be the cause of the ads as well.

Then my friend I think the phone is SOL.... sorry

I would have been perfectly happy with my Note 8 for another year, possibly longer but the battery was swelling on one side and pulling the phone apart. I don't know why as I am very careful with my phone. Samsung didn't penalize me though as far as trade in goes so I got the Note 10 Plus as replacement. The only thing I don't like is that the fingerprint scanner simply does not see my fingerprints at all. I have very dry skin and apparently have to apply lotion first...every time! That is just not practical. At least the scanner in my Note 8 worked..not great but better than this.

Hi everyone, I have a question, I would like to pick your brains about something: I have the Note 8 and I am thinking about upgrading to the Note 10+, mainly for the screen real estate. I don't make a lot of calls, I don't really use the stylus a lot, I take pictures and videos, but not a lot. I do watch a lot, A LOT of movies and videos. I want to upgrade to the Note 10+ 512 GB. I want to get anybody's opinion. Is it worth getting the Note 10+, 512 GB? Will it perform better that the Note 8? If I trade it in, I will only get about $100 or $300 for it. I have T-Mobile. I believe they are having a promotion now. Any input would be appreciated. Thank you.

ANY NOTE IS BETTER THAN NONE.

Install a different launcher from the play store such as Nova launcher that has grid settings

Thank you! I had no idea that "launcher" apps existed. This solved my problem, and I'm liking your suggestion of Nova launcher, too.
