OK I got a crazy bug happening to me and I can't sort it out. Your litterally my last stop in sorting this.

So, I'm running Incipient 14.1-20180902 Unofficial-owens on my Moto E-4-plus .. Its been running great.

A few months ago (July), i got a new car. A 2016 VW Golf with a super cool infotainment system. I paired my phone before leaving the dealer. Phone synced up perfect. Off to the races.

About 2 weeks ago, I was driving listening to audio vie the phone Bluetooth and I lost my connection. "No big deal, I'll re-pair it when i get home" i said

I got home, did the re-pair, and saw that I could change my cars's bluetooth ID . I thought I would be cheeky and change the name of the car to "Tim's VW" . no big deal. THUS began my troubles.

In renaming the car I screwed up the relationships already stored in the car and the phone. I couldn't get the phone to re-pair. It continually came up with a "wrong pass-key" error on the phone. I banged my head on a wall for about an hour - factory - reset the car system which set the name back to the default , my phone immediately paired and all was good... I thought.

I then discovered that my phone contacts hadn't synced. I jumped into settings and had to "check" the contact box in the blue tooth settings.... ok ... should be good togo? nope! ... no contacts ...

I have erased and re erased Bluetooth settings, cache etc etc on the phone.. factory wiped the car a couple times. The phone connects to the car fine, even syncs text messages... still no contacts. I took the car into VW, hoping it was a car issue... nope, they were able to connect and sync an iphone and another android...

So I'm left with the issue being my phone...... I'm lost. Do any of you have any thoughts at all? I'd rather not wipe the phone and start again ... but i'm going nutz

Have no idea. Turned it off last night and plugged it into the charger and then tried to turn it on this am and that's what it did.

hard reset the device:

Try clearing the cache of the Play Store app and rebooting the phone.

And yes, we only know what you tell us, so it would be good to include all relevant information (see the post above mine).

I recently discovered that different cell phones handle "Clearing Recently Used Apps" differently. Some just clear the apps from the list while the LG V40 does a "Forced Close" on those apps. It is causing a problem with my calendar app, it screws up the reminder alarms. Does anyone know if there is a way to keep the force close from occurring on the single app? (or all apps) I've looked in the phone's settings for the app without luck. I'm discussing with the app's author about including a setting to do that (if possible). Any help will be appreciated.

Honestly, that kinda good and bad news. Kingroot is more of a virus/root exploit packed with adds. There may be a way to downgrade it back to 5.0. It would be very time consuming with little chance of success. Sorry bro

No. If there were a command that disabled FRP it would utterly defeat the point of FRP.

Hi,

I have a free app available on Google Play. I got an email from Google Play after I submitted the 'Target audience and content' for this app on 'App content' page of Play Console today. It said that my app does not meet their eligibility criteria for the Designed for Families program.

As my app is designed for everyone, I decide not to participate in the Designed for Families program for the app. But I failed to find any options to allow me to opt out the Designed for Families program.

Sign in to my Play Console.
Select my app.
On the left menu, click Store presence > Pricing & distribution.

But in the 'User programs' section, I couldn't find the "Designed for Families".
There are only 'Managed Google Play' and 'Daydream'.

Why is not there a checkbox about "Designed for Families" for me to uncheck?

Thank you in advance.

At last, I contacted the Customer Service of Google Play Developer Console. They accepted my app update.
Probably there is some defect for their developer console and review procedure about the Designed for Families program.

google play has been working ok, now I cannot get onto page, the little indicator is going around in a clockwise direction on a blank white page.

Confusing me as well svim. Why it should pair with a 2013 Mac but not 2018 or 2019 I have no idea. I know Apple are upgrading all their Macs form 32 to 64 bit, but all three of those I have used are 64bit so it's not that.
However, yesterday, the mobile suddenly connected again, but not the bluetooth headset. (I've charged the headset so nothing to do with power)
I'll look into the bluetooth adaptor suggestion.
Regards from "confused dot com"!

Somtmes when i download a app it opens and immediately crashes, i re install and it does the same thing, i dont think the device isn't relivent since it happens on any device, the apk works on some devices but on certain devices it just opens and immediately crashes, is it a compatibility issue? And is there any way to fix it so it wont crash, already tried clearing cach im also looking for a app that could debug my apps, so it will tell me what made the app crash, it could also be a ram issue right? Ill try to clean my ram and try it again

Debug your apps? Are you a developer, and are having problems with your apps crashing when running on an actual device, rather than in Android Studio?

I'm not a dev myself of course, so can't really help you there.

Hi I think I may have a setting wrong somewhere.


Everytime I download a app I can only view the right half

do not know to much about android boxes, but with android on any device there is no setting that will cause this.

the problem with android boxes is that there are a lot of companies out there and its hard to vouch for good quality boxes. it you really need something like that, i would stick with something more well known like roku, amazon fire stick or my favorite google's chromecast.

i think for both of you guys, i would try a factory reset and see if that fixes things. if not then i hope your devices are under warranty and you can replace it.

Hi!

Also learnt a bit - and been converted to Linux for some future date when I have the leisure to play with it.

Click to expand...

That makes me happy! But what's even better is how happy it'll make you once you've done it.

Just for an idea of the built-in power of Linux, please read the first post in what turned into our Linux mega-thread.

In it, I explain how to replace spaces in filenames, like:
This Is A File

with underscores:
This_Is_A_File

(Spaces in filenames, while always allowed in *nix, aren't desirable for assorted reasons.)

As you read the code, keep in mind I'm strictly using commands that come standard with virtually all UNIX/Linux systems. There's no app to buy, nothing to search for online, just built-in tools.

I wouldn't expect you to plunge in and know how to write a script like that; that's not my point. The point is that not only is Linux more secure, stable, and beautiful (as in infinitely customizable) than window$, its built-in tools put window$ to shame.

Not all US models are locked down hard, I have unlocked MetroPCS and T-Mobile phones.

Agreed. That is why I said, "most". However, they both will suffer from ersatz firmware and poor updates.

I still use both of those apps, so yes they still work fine, what happens is sometimes updates will mess the apps up, so all you have to do is go apk pure, it has a version history button, while you can try all of the versions until you find one that works, i like to download the apk app, since it's easier to use, i also know other great apps that are just like showbox but better cinema hd is a good one, also cyberflix

It is a zte but i dont remember the exact model

It's not working for me at all. I got my phone last Sun and have tried 6-8 times in various lighting conditions but to no avail.
When I try to register my face it goes to 70% very quickly then tells me to remove my glasses to continue but it never goes beyond 70% and eventually says "Couldn't register face. Face not recognized. Front camera may be dirty. Clean area above screen and try again" The front camera is not dirty.

Off to the local Verizon store I go.

Never had any issues. What did they say?

no it just resets the default back to the dialer.

@ocnbrze didn't manage the multi-quote

I found the solution after trying some wire and wireless headphones in a store, it seems that the USB-C cable itself may be the problem since it's converting the audio signal from the jack analogic to digital, but with the wireless on, i've noticed something off, it seems that the Xiaomi equalizer it's not active when the wireless headphones are on, and I've been having this problem when i installed the last MIUI Update (which is MIUI Global 10.2.30).

So if you're experiencing this kind of problem I suggest trying other USB-C brands (since the one that comes with the device it's the one causing the trouble) or either trying wireless headphones, which have their pros and cons over the wired ones like draining more battery with bluetooth on or having to charge the headphones but sometimes the wires might get on the way or be quite annoying.

Otherwise this may be a problem of the last MIUI Update so maybe the will fix this issue with future versions.

Could be these Samsung AKG buds are using a lossless codec with your N10? Usually BT audio devices use lossy codecs, either SBC or AAC. You can actually see, and sometimes change what codec a BT audio device is using, by going into the Developer Settings on your phone.

Click to expand...

Yeah I noticed that. Wish I could change it for usb to match BT.


Update came thru this morning and it indeed fixed wired bud sound quality. Now they are right on par with BT buds. Very pleased.

good luck

I would be very wary of trying to change limits in something as sensitive as a quick charging system. There's a lot more to these things than pushing more current at higher voltages.

Does it revert instantly or when you try to charge it? A QC4 system can test the rating of your cable, and won't draw more current than that. And you've said yourself that your charger is rated at 3A, so doesn't sound like a QC4 charger (though QC4 can deliver 18W at 2A using 9V).
