Trying to send a calendar to my daughter

lunatic59
I'm assuming you are sharing a Google calendar?

Open your Google Calendar in Chrome https://calendar.google.com and in the left column you will see a list of your calendars (My Calendars). Click on the three dots next to the calendar you want to share and select 'settings and sharing'. Under the 'Share with specific people' section you should see your daughter's email. If you see it, then you're all set.

Now, your daughter must also go to her calendar page and accept your invitation and then turn on your calendar to display. Once you do that, then she should see it.

question

Hadron
The problem here is that if there was a way you could bypass this then a thief could do the same, rendering the lock screen useless.

Some phones will prompt for an alternative authentication, such as your Google login, if you get it wrong too often. Some will reset the phone. I don't know which your phone will do, so can't recommend trying that.

One oddity: you say it asks for a password but then says "wrong PIN"? It might be that Lenovo have messed up their coding, but I'd expect it to be consistent about password vs PIN. So which is it asking for, a password or a PIN?

Help Phone stuck in a boot loop

Hadron
ADB could be used to retrieve data, but the problem is that you need to be able to boot into android in order to use it (or have a custom recovery, but you won't have that if you've not been modifying the phone and even if you can unlock the bootloader to install one that would wipe the phone, defeating the point of doing it).

Apps How can I create an App like Appblock or Forest?

L
I'm currently using Android Studio to create an App.
I want one of the features to block apps, after you activate this by clicking on a button.

So that the app moves in the background, after clicking the button and when you open for example Youtube, it pops up and says something like: "Deactivate this program first".

The basic idea is of course a Clicklistener on this button to start the program
But know I want to know, which commmand you have to use so that the app is permanently supervising, which app you are opening/ have openend, even though the app moved to the background.
Some kind of Clicklistener for this (in the example:Youtube) exact app.

I'm fairly new to App programming :)
Thanks in advance.

Help How to transfer files from PC to SD card formated as adoptable (internal) storage?

J
smarko1983 said:
It was better solved in earlier versions of Android where we could transer just the app data to SD card, considerably freeing space. Now, we are requiered to transfer the app + data, which causes all kind's of problems.

It's Google's way of punishing us for daring to use LOCAL storage, rather than submitting ourselves to Google's cloud.

Apps set to auto update but not updating.

T
UPDATE: No change in behaviour after turning off battery optimisation for Play Store. I am looking at it now and there are three updates pending.

What we have leaned is that those pending updates will be applied at some point, so Auto-Update is working. It must just have a schedule of re-tries. I always switch phone off at night so that would make sense if an update became available then, but I wonder how often it re-tries to update? Phone has been on for seven hours so far today and they are still showing pending.

Help Wifi “connected” but no apps work

C
I recently migrated from an LG G4 (Android 6) to a Moto G7 Power (android 9) but now same apps don't work any more. I still get the eBay and amazon alarms on my old G4 (connected to same Wi-Fi) but on the G7 I have to switch from Wi-Fi to Mobile Data. ebay and amazon work on FF for Android on the G7 though. I toggled the background data, excluded them from all safety and VPN, changed the DNS, switched to guest Wi-Fi on same internet connection, rebooted etc. but all has no effect at all.

S10 plus screen protector?

T
The Screen Protector depends from person to person. I don't have a screen protector and my phone does fall some times, but nothing has ever happened to my screen because of the case I use. I usually make sure that the case covers all sides and that the edges of the cover are a little thick and are shock proof. For the S10+ I would recommend the Spigen or the Rigke brands.

SD card question

S8 user said:
Hey guys. I have an SD card that was in my old Blackberry. I want to put in the S8. Is there anything special I need to do in order to get this in...or is it as easy as just put it in. Just wondering if it needs to be formatted or anything. Thanks.
Click to expand...
Yes you can put old sdcard in s8 but first you need backed up your old data into windows or mac if you have inserted sdcard in hatdware then you can copy and paste whole of your private data into win or mac then formatted with fat32 then you can inserted your sdcard in s8.

Happy 1st Birthday OnePlus 6T!

ironass
rcNed9rm.jpg


BIRTHDAY FUN FACT & QUESTION! :D

Since the Global model of the OnePlus 6T is almost 1 year old, it was launched the 6th November 2018, it has received...

13 Official stock, stable, OxygenOS updates covering Android 9 & 10.

18 Open Beta test firmware updates covering Android 9 & 10.

31 updates in total for the OnePlus 6T in a year.

Question: Can anyone supply any other phone manufacturer's model of phone other than, obviously, the stock Google vanilla, Pixel and Essential phones, to have received as many or more updates than this in a year?

Rules: Just reply to this post with the Manufacturer's name, phone model and a link to the confirmed number of updates. ;)

( Caveat: The above does not include the 10 updates for the T-Mobile (USA) 6T carrier minority variant or the 3 Android Q Developer Previews) :)

Picture-in-picture plz help

MoodyBlues
Welcome to Android Forums, Sean Taylor!

A few things to try: go into System Settings and find YouTube in its list of apps. Check its settings; make sure both 'display over other apps' and 'picture-in-picture' are set to 'yes.' Then 'force stop' on it. Reopen the YouTube app; is it back to normal?

If it's not, go back to it in System Settings; access its storage, then clear its cache and data; the latter will lose all your settings and account info in YouTube. Force stop again, then open YouTube again. Fixed?

Last resort [that I can think of] is to do the above plus uninstall YouTube, then reinstall it. Hopefully, that's not necessary.

Repeated App launch

Enabling...the phone? :thinking:
Want it disabled completely until I choose a time to interact with it.

You want what disabled? The only thing you've referred to is your Aristo 2 phone.

You titled this thread "Repeated App launch." Would you please clarify what you're asking? I'm afraid I'm quite lost! :o
