Full shit mode?

Excellent! This is being added to my running file of useful Android info.

Full something mode, hahaha.
Not poop, but maybe a word that I did not realize would be censored.

Poop works fine, though.

Anyway, glad to have been of some help.
There are many, many different devices, each with different features and functions.

So the more knowledge we share about how to work around all these different devices, the better.

It actually took the installation of an app for me to even find this, and I spent the better part of 6 months trying to avoid long pressing the circle navigation button.

Thanks to Greenify, it was located and delt with.

Hi*, new here. Just bought the z4, love the phone. But it does not have MhL compatibility. Is there a way to convert this to be MhL compatible? Can this be rooted to make this happen?
I use my phone for teaching, so my ability to play videos and movies on a TV is Paramount. I have no internet or wifi being that I live in the country. Anyone please help

Have a look at the free NoRoot Firewall app in the PS and have it deny data accesses for the app.

i just create albums within google photos. it has its own way of organizing and creating your own folders is not the way to do it. you have to do it thru the app.

Is it possible to make the Tablet only accept input from the Spen and not your hands? I know some apps can do this but I want to be able to apply this to the tablet not just one app.

Hi all. I keep getting the above message/notification. I don't know what upload it is referring to, and when I 'Tap for options' all I get is a screen saying I don't have any pending stories.
Top left there's a <left arrow> to 'Your posts' which just takes me to my phone's home screen, and top right a camera icon which takes me to the photo gallery. If I cancel out of this the message has gone, but it keeps returning.
How do I get rid of this annoying message permanently?!
TIA

= = = =
Answer: I too had this problem; I did not like seeing that there was no solution yet. THIS is what worked for me; I am not saying it is THE solution, it is just one way to get around the annoying (and repetitive!) message: “Facebook upload failed - Tap for options” yet there were no options! I uninstalled Facebook from my phone; went back to Play Store & Reinstalled it. Problem gone.

Note: there is a Technipage listing titled: “Facebook for Android: Clear Stuck Uploads – Technipages” which eventually said to, in Android settings to “CLEAR DATA”. Not being a super-tech, I did not like the ominous warning which came with that; I did not want my Facebook data cleared; contacts cleared, etc.

SO, I realized that my laptop version of FB would survive the removal from my phone. Which is what led me to Uninstall from the phone, and Reinstall. It Worked!

Probably there is an error in Google's database of WiFi networks: your phone can see a network that Google thinks is elsewhere. Could be that someone has moved from Richmond, could just be a database error. I don't know the innards of Google's location algorithm (I imagine they regard those as confidential) so couldn't say how it handles conflicting information (e.g. if your phone sees networks that it thinks are in different places), so this is just speculating from the fact that WiFi location relies on Google's database of WiFi routers and their locations. But errors in this, sometimes from WiFi, sometimes cell information, do occur: I see 5-10 different reports of this sort here each year.

when you've successfully compiled an app, you can run it in the emulator, which you may have to download and install separately, It integrate with Android Studio and you can run your app on it from within Android Studio. The emulator gives you a choice of emulated devices including a variety of phones and tablets with varying screen sizes and resolutions.

Hadron · Nov 30, 2019

You have to take their word. But as noted their connection to a leading android news site means that they can't afford to be caught lying.

I suggest you only install stuff from the Play Store if you are this worried. Though you have to take their word about their tests, so perhaps better not to install apps at all.

ok so i just got stadia installed and have been playing for a few days now. i purchased all three of the latest Tomb Raider games along with Destiny 2, Samurai Showdown, and Final Fantasy XV.

so far i have been only playing the Tomb Raider game and it is just like playing a console game. it is hard to believe that i'm playing a game through just the chromecast ultra!!!!!

i think i might play final fantasy just to see what that is like.

i also need to figure out how to use the stadia controller on my pixelbook. i think i just need a type c to usb dongle and hook the controller via usb. unfortunately playing stadia thru the web browser will not work wirelessly just yet.

i do kind of wish that prices for the games were a tad cheaper.

apkmirror is run by the people behind the androidpolice news site, only host free apps directly from the play store, no cracked apps or unverified downloads. I've never heard of any problems from them.

I've just remembered was posted a few months ago.
https://androidforums.com/threads/barclays-mobile-banking-app.1309505/#post-7901802

I found an APK on APKmirror, and it installed and the app worked, but another problem, a phishing tool was attached to the app

Presumably the Android Police were on top of the case, and they arrested those concerned, as well as removing the Barclays banking app with phishing tool attached from APKmirror.

I think when it comes to apps, especially financial apps, only install from their official sources.

puppykickr · Nov 29, 2019

There are two apps that I use to give me some piece of mind.

They are:

PilferShush (F-Droid)- which keeps other apps from using the microphone

Pandroid Camera (APK Pure)- which sets up a user controlled device administrator privlege on the device, which is accessible via a quick tile.
