How can I record a phone conversation while having headphones plugged in?

svim
OK so this probably is not the most simple solution to your query but being a headphone jack fan I've used it several times as an effective way to record audio from my phones. Using a very common 3.5mm audio cable, like this:

and an audio splitter adapter like this:

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E168820...21-055-_-1&Description=audio+adapter+splitter

it's then just a matter of plugging the audio-in plug end of the adapter into the phone headphone jack, and then plug a headphone into one of the audio-out ports of the adapter and the audio cable into the other audio-out port. The other plug of the audio cable gets plugged into the audio-in port of a desktop or laptop. Using Audacity, a free, Open Source audio editor available for Linux, Windows, and Mac to record the audio signal from the phone you also have the ability to do things like slow down or amplify conversations.

So yeah, this isn't a simple solution and it requires a lot of extras, but things like the cable and splitter adapter only cost a total of less than $5.
Hopefully someone will chime in with a more simplistic solution involving just an app on your phone.
(.... and just a caveat, recording live conversations without the other persons consent may bring up privacy issues related to local wiretapping laws)

Android phones not opening videos send from iOS

Buzzword Consulting
We are developing a music app and the ios version can open videos sent from android but not all androids can open iOS.

All have 9.0 android

Specifically, the google pixel 3 can open them but the Samsung GALAXY S9 and S10 cannot.

Those same phones can also only upload smaller photos to our video feature and rejects larger photos but can accept larger photos for profile image.

Is anyone aware of an issue for Samsung galaxy android devices why they wouldnt be able to open a video rendered into mp4 format on an iOS phone?

From what I understand, the OS matters for the coding but the hardware can effect as well.

S9 is verizon, s10 and pixel 3 are tmobile phones and both ios phones (xs max and 6 plus) are on verizon.

Thanks in advance to anyone who might have some idea.

Help My droid box wont load any movies/tv shows

Thanks for the info. Did anything out of the ordinary happen around the time it stopped working? A power outage, a system update, anything? Have you tried unplugging it, waiting ≈15 seconds, and plugging it back in?[
Nothing happened the tv shows just stopped coming up. Have unplugged several times even left it for hours before plugging it back in and still no difference.

How to set the notification badge count programatically without sending notification?

buffoon
I want to change the notification badge count, say, whenever the user clicks on a button. At the moment, the only way I know to change the notification badge count is by sending a notification like so:

Java: 
Notification notification = new NotificationCompat.Builder(MainActivity.this, CHANNEL_ID)
        .setContentTitle("New Messages")
        .setContentText("You've received 3 new messages.")
        .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_notify_status)
        .setNumber(messageCount)
        .build();

I could technically send a notification every time the user presses the button, but that'd clutter the notification panel (as the goal here is to just change the badge count). So, is there anyway I can change the notification badge count without sending a notification?

^^^Did you IMDb it?


I think this might be the place for this comment...

Many years ago I had a roommate with a rather odd wife. (She was going back to school about 80 miles away so he and I shared a house and she came down most weekends, that’s why he needed a roommate. Tom was a really nice guy, never understood how he ended up with her though.) Anyway, I can remember her at one point on one of those weekends pulling out a VHS tape (I mentioned it was a long time ago) of the movie “The Fisher King” and going on and on about how great a movie it was, how much she loved it, etc.

Given the source/recommendation, it’s probably understandable that I never watched it. Until tonight, that is. It’s not a bad movie, but in the middle I had to stop it to go to imdb and look up a character, who turned out to be Michael Jeter, who was in a movie I really enjoyed (and one I own), “The Green Mile.” While looking at his info I discovered he died in 2003, which isn’t that long after TGM was released. He was just 51. And Michael Clark Duncan has also passed, not to mention, of course, dear, amazing Robin Williams, which brings us back to The Fisher King. As I said, it’s not a bad movie, but I’m glad I didn’t watch it with Tom and his very odd wife.

And having seen The Fisher King, I can see how the Cohen brothers probably wrote the part of The Dude for Jeff Bridges. And as I’ve mentioned many times (it’s in the thread I started about movies we each again and again), “The Big Lebowski” is one of my favorite films.

Peace...out.

I too have an odd wife, really odd wife, she has a few children with a really best friend of mine, known the bloke for countless years.. I have seen Green Mile, I heard of The Fisher King too. I think maybe I have seen it when I was younger and binging on movies..

variable quality

Hadron
Even for a photo of less than 16Mpix resolution "original" and "high" are not the same thing. "High quality" is compressed. For the quality of most phone photos, and the uses they are generally put to, the compression won't be a problem for most people, but nevertheless it is not the original file.

If the image is > 16Mpix it will be scaled down to 16 Mpix as well as being compressed.

So if you select "original" I would expect that to be treated as "original" regardless of the number of pixels in the image.

Root [MetroPCS] [ROM][4.4.4]CARBON ROM Kitkat 4.4.4 for LG Optimus F6 [LOTS OF FIXES]

L
Is there anybody around who's still paying attention to this?

Looking to repurpose my old LG Optimus F6 phone as a portable media player, I've successfully flashed this Carbon ROM onto it. No problems or surprises other than from forgetting why you shouldn't do a reset using the power and volume buttons but that's been resolved.

The only question that I have now for anybody who may be listening is how might I get microG (https://microg.org/) working with this ROM as an open-source Google-free replacement for GApps?

For microG to work correctly, the ROM needs to implement a feature known as Signature Spoofing. Apparently the official Carbon ROMs that are currently available do offer this feature but I can't use it with this ROM. Either I don't how to activate Signature Spoofing or it was never implemented for this ROM possibly because it may be considered a possible security risk.

Is there anybody out there?

Help Pop message

P
I have a Lenovo TAB 2 A7-30H on which suddenly I am starting to get pop up messages
Android 5.0.1 kernel 3.10.54
"android.process.accore has stopped"
I click Ok and it closes but after a few minutes it pops up again.

I update all Android updates as soon as I am notified

My only recent change to Apps was the new Mozilla Firefox browser which ran fine. I have deleted the app and restarted tablet to see if that eliminated the problem. It has not.

Apps How to include two prebuilt interdependent shared libraries into Android application using cmake

U
I want to include two shared libraries liba.so and libb.so into my android application. Where function of libb.so is called from function in liba.so.

I have a Java class which calls native JNI Function as,

package com.test.myapplication;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

static{
System.loadLibrary(a);
System.loadLibrary(b);
}
public native void testSample();

@override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
testSample();
}
}
My JNI file is

#include"a.h"

extern "C" void JNICALL Java_com_test_myapplication_MainActivity_testSample( JNIEnv* env, jobject thiz) {
a_foo();
}
a.cpp file which is part of my library liba.so is

#include"b.h"
void a_foo()
{
/* ..... code .....*/
b_foo();
/* ..... code .....*/
}
My b.cpp which is part of libb.so is

void b_foo()
{
/* ..... code .....*/
}
I want to include liba.so and libb.so as librares and not as source into my application. Both the libraries are built using android-ndk independently.

Line System.loadLibrary(a); gives a runtime exception
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: dlopen failed: cannot locate symbol "b_foo" referenced by "/data/app/com.test.myapplication-yyA38UEBmsXvaqOY-hm_HQ==/lib/arm64/liba.so" when loading

Discover app doesn't open when notifications are pressed

MoodyBlues
Really, none of that applies here, Eye In The Sky, but I appreciate your input. :)

The app in question is the official app for the Discover Card, installed directly from Play. I think its odds of containing malware/trojans/etc. are slim to none. :D

At any rate, since posting this thread in June, the problem has disappeared. It most likely was due to a buggy update, then corrected with a later one.
