running android on my network

i have 3 tablets and a lg cell phone. on all the tablets and phone i have an app for viewing my cameras. i'm trying to get faster speed from them but when i connected them up to my router using cat5 cable and a usb to cat5 adapter they all ran slower than they did on wifi.

1. lg phone 7.0 ran 6 mbps wifi 5mbps adapter
2. 3 tablets all ran 13 15 and 25 mbps wifi and 4 to 6 mbps on the adapter. i have 2 adapters i got from walmart and they were about the same.

so is there any way to get speed from a tablet that is better using cable connections over the wifi connections. my router is 2.4 ghz b/g/n capable. it i can find out what tablets if any can do this i will get one for monitoring the cameras. so if anyone happens to know what android version works or what tablets work better on cat5 cable over the wifi please let me know. or even a ipad although i do not have any experience with them or a kindle of any kind. it makes no difference to me as long as i can get speed to them form the network. when i do a speed test on my pc from the network now i get 55 mbps and if i plug it into the modem i get 112 mbps, they tell me my network switch i holding that back as it is a 10/100 switch, so i have a 10/100/1000 in the mail now and can retest that when i get it. i expect the network speed to go up thru the new switch.

but i need to get some more speed into a tablet for better viewing my cameras with. thanks.

HOW :*(

Only games? And do these games have anything in common (like using some common account system)? Any games in particular?

Games are just apps, so it would be very strange indeed if all games were affected, no other apps, and there is nothing in common between the games you have. So I have to assume there is some common factor between the apps that are afffected, but we'll need more information from you to have any hope of figuring it out.

(Remember that we only know what you tell us, not what you know).

Locking text-to-speech settings?

Tonight the text-to-speech is acting up even more than yesterday. I changed to a different default voice to get away from the pitch and speed isuses and in the middle of listening to a book it just switched back to the other voice that had sounded bad and wouldn't change from that one no matter which voice I downloaded/selected. I eventually uninstalled Google T-T-S updates and then reinstalled them, kept trying repeatedly and finally managed to reset the voice to a different one. Hope it stays put. I think I will try clearing out all the app data and reset the voice if this happens again.

I think there's something going on with TTS on Android 8 but I can't find any news about it online. My phone is fully up-to-date.

app info

I d/l an app called color notes. I wrote several notes on the app. I moved the app to the external storage, I then lost the sd card ( I guess it got corrupted somehow). Is there a way to retrieve the info on the app? I re-d/l the app, but it's blank.
Thanks
it depends. i am not familiar with the app, if it has the ability to back things up on its own server, then you are good. but i think most apps like that will save the data someplace on the phone or on the sd card.

sorry, but i think you have lost those notes for good.

Bitmap Rendering Wrong Size - Game Engine

I solved it.

So for some reason the "inScaled" option for BitmapFactory is set to true by default.

I just had to create and change the options with this code inside the Background class.

Java:
BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inScaled = false;

Then add the option to the bitmap shown bellow

Code:
bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(context.getResources(), R.drawable.maintest, options);

memory card

Nice find, @Dannydet!

Welcome to Android Forums, retired47!

This article reviews the Idol 3 and includes this info in its specs:

- microSD card slot (up to 128GB)

Buying any reputable brand's microSD card, up to 128GB, from a reputable source should be fine. Beware of fakes and knockoffs! Just stick with a known brand and buy it from a reputable merchant.

"Android still a toxic hellstew"

I assume that would make Oreo etc. null and void.
As @Hadron noted, continuing to use Oreo shouldn't be a problem.

My current phone is only four months old--Motorola sent me a new one when my still-under-warranty, Moto Z² Force had a problem. Motorola had previously announced that the Z² -would- get updated to Pie, then backtracked, only giving it to phones with one carrier (Verizon?). I have no intention of ditching a brand-new phone any time soon! Pie or no Pie, I'll keep this phone until I'm good and ready to replace it. :D

Play Store Dark Mode only on older device.

Any recent experiences?

My daily for 3 months has been a Nokia 7 Plus on Android 9. I saw my older Moto G4 on Android 7.0 now has dark mode by default, but any instructions found only apply to Google Play Games which does have a dark mode setting.

I guess it hasn't rolled out to my Nokia yet, though I would assume the Play Store version would be the same (I don't have the Moto with me atm).

Text-to-speech settings changing on their own?

I use Text-to-Speech a lot on my phone and tonight I found the settings were suddenly changed on their own and were very difficult to get back to what I had before. The "pitch" (highness or lowness of the voice) had changed, and perhaps the speech rate, too.

It took a long time to try to get the voice settings back to where they were (the slide button hides behind my finger when pressing and moving it so I can't even tell if I am getting it to move--you don't want to move it very much, only a tiny bit as a small slide makes a big change.)

If there was a way to lock these settings I would lock it down so this doesn't happen again.
