I wonder if there is an issue with the Android Auto and there will be an update?

Thanks for this. I've followed your instructions - will have to wait and see if it works!

Don't think it's just a battery hardware issue - clearing the cache partition returns battery to normal usage for a couple of days which wouldn't be the case if the battery was dying.

Will monitor for next few days and see if any improvement. Thanks.

A tool sounds interesting. What also sounds interesting is understanding where this MSL code comes from. Some info I've found talks about it being a hash generated from a unique id of the phone like the IMEI number. But I really don't know. It could be a number which is programmed into flash at build time or sent via OTA at activation. In any case, what this exercise is telling me is that the process to use a smartphone in a different way than what the provider intended is far too complex for the average user.

have you tried a factory reset?

Click to expand...

Thank you, ocnbrze - factory reset worked! As my girlfriend pointed out, I'd bought this new phone after having the other one for 3 years (I dropped it and it shattered and fixing it would cost almost as much as buying a new phone) and transferring all the info off the old phone meant I had a few apps that needed to be updated.

So when I did the factory reset, I answered "Yes" to updating all apps, and now the phone shows me my arrows so I can close out of apps and go "home." Case closed.

Another thing my girlfriend pointed out is that phones for sale at a retail store may have sat there on display and in stock for over a year, meaning that when you activate the phone, you should make sure all apps have the most current version, so don't transfer, say, Instagram and Snapchat as they were - install new versions and sign in.

Cheers and best to all.

Take both into Boost mobile and complain. It's their network and they control it. No app will fix this issue

Hi All!
I'm looking for either a calendar with adjustable snooze or an add-on app for the Google calendar. I was wondering if any of you know of a good one.

The Story-
I used to have Calendar Notifications Plus by Sergey Parshin on my Android 5.1 phone.
That app would show a notification when the Google Calendar event triggered. i could swipe down and pick a time to snooze from a list I could make. For example- I had 5 minutes, 1 hour and 4 hours.

Due to a crash, I had to reset the phone & re-install the apps.
Sadly, the app is no longer available. I tried using a legacy version from archive org. It did not work.

My biggest desire is to have adjustable snooze times. I searched all I could find on the Play Store and came up empty.

Do any of you have a recommendation for one you have used and liked? A replacement calendar would be OK if it syncs with Google calendar.

Thanks For Your Suggestions!
Paul

How about waiting for the S40?

Well, if your on android browser copy link from another page by long pressing thre top link (select/select all) then return to Android Forums and long press the cursor (past/copy from clipboard) and paste

Try downloading if that an option as for causes, couldn't say.

Hi Dave and all ;-)
I gave Mathally a try and did not found how to quit the full screen mode (Settings/Full screen). Then, settings seems no longer reachable, together with other parameters.
The only way I've found to get back to the original screen is to delete the Applications datas (Android menu "Parameters/Applications/Downloaded applications/Mathally/Erase datas").
Unfortunatelly, other settings as the apps theme choice, font size, etc... are erased at the same time.
I'd like to know how to reach the settings while running the full screen mode.
Thanks for any answer ;-D

I just got another update but this was probably just security. The security patch level is now October 1. Current build is now G960USQs7CSI5. It was only around 170mb or so, but that last one was much bigger.

My screenshots are as below. For your reference.







You can also check the screenshots, Mark as spam - 1/2/3.jpg, on amazon cloud share - https://goo.gl/R1tNh1

i have uploaded my kernel.img and boot.img build.prop etc uboot.img if u can find any thing in that to fix my issue.
check this slow motion video may be that will explain whats going on.

Some screenshots and two facts about “ Roboball Challenge”. Just for fun (sorry for mistakes, English is not my native language)

1. I caught one funny bug during game development. Due to the turn timer bug, we started to play without turn changing. Moreover, there was no calculated delay implemented yet, so my opponent made hits one by one without any delays. It was running just like a clockwork toy. And the typical score was 10: 1 or 12: 2 with no chance for me. AI smashed me easy no matter how excellent I tried to play. I thought then that it could be a great feature. Now you can test it by yourself with the game difficulty setting to “Ultra”. Excepting one moment now opponent has got calculated delay before hit the ball. And it gives you a chance to win.

2. How I made a decision to create this game? One summer evening I was busy with my lodge (I started to build it this spring). I was hitting nails and thinking about soccer. I like soccer and I like to play soccer, but like many other people, I haven’t enough free time to play. After hitting my finger with a hammer I dropped wooden plank and at this moment I dream with all my heart about robot, which can help me with the building process. And then I hopefully will have a time to play soccer. And the robot will be my opponent. I’ve found this idea very funny. And I decided to make a simple mobile game, which I can play in a pause during lodge building. And if my game will be interesting for other people (and will give me some money to finish my lodge) so why not?

When I try to download an application from android forum it says unable to connect to server no peer certificate. I don't understand why it says that when I'm connected to my WiFi network-please help someone.

I tried to relock the bootloader, still no luck!

if it got wet, you should try the rice in a bag trick.

also i would recommend you use google photos for your pictures. it automatically uploads your photos to the cloud. i never have to worry about my photos or videos. i can even take a photo on my phone. hop on my computer and my photos will be there. i do not have to hook up any cords or anything. it is all done via wifi.

it is a system file....nothing to look at here....move along.

I have a pile of Asus Tablets (ME172V) that have Android 4.1.1 (max) installed on them (donated to our tiny private school by a university).

I'm developing a primitive browser app (locked to one domain) for school use, and I'm implementing the WebView component in Android Studio to do so.

Due to the age of the Android OS, the WebView component does not seem to support certain modern CSS functionality. This is causing me some serious issues.

I want to know if there's a way to manually "update" that functionality in place, by itself (just the WebView component). Is there are way to do this without needing to update the entire OS (which is probably impossible given the age of the tablets)?

Cheers! You can't renew the license? Does the license cost as much as the device?

Click to expand...

From what I understand, the license is needed to upgrade the firmware that supports new phones. You'd better buy one with license remaining valid or ask the seller whether your phone model is already supported.

Go to your phone's settings and click on battery, then scroll down and you'll see a list of apps consuming battery and approximate consumption.

There are also apps on the play store that monitor battery usage.

And Ubuntu has a very friendly forum

Click to expand...

Years ago, when I was very active there, it had turned into a clique-ish, holier than thou, unwelcoming cesspool. They treated newbies like morons. And the funny thing--in my UNIX-since-1985 book--was that THEY were newbies, too! These were like 1- or 2-year Ubuntu users, self-proclaimed as Linux gods. Their treatment of new users really turned me off. That was...I don't know, maybe 10 years ago. I'm glad to hear it's friendly now.

Good post, though. If windows people who use and love Android just made the mental leap, they could be happily humming along in an all-Linux world like I am.

The same author as in the OP explained in another article 5 reasons you should switch from windows to Linux right now. I recommend reading it for anyone sick of windows, or just wanting a better OS.

I think I am screwed

nothing cooked into the phone. but there are apps you can use for thta:
