lol, good one

I've had no problems using Android X86-64 on a Dell laptop, I've not tried using cable connection to my router though. WiFi works just fine. And the touchpad allows decent navigation even without the slightly flakey taskbar that Android X86 tries hard to provide.

No SMS is not dependent on WiFi connectivity, with some carriers there is an issue with MMS requiring cellular (mobile data) connectivity but that not SMS. The issue you're having has to do with Apple's iMessage protocol being proprietary and closed off to any other platform. Apple refuses to allow other platforms to include support for the iMessage protocol so it's only usable by other iMessage users. The iMessage app does include support for SMS/MMS so in your case the iMessage users you send a text message to can readily receive them, but it's still a matter of them intentionally sending/replying to you specifically using SMS/MMS, since by default their iMessage apps use the iMessage protocol as the default.

Thanks so much. A friend with an IPhone showed me how it had to work on his end and how easy if was for him to send a message as a text so it would get to me. Now, I guess the "challenge" is to let my IPhone friends know they need to do this if they expect me to get their messages. Very irritating!

Here's the solution for this problem:

Short answer is No

Hello all,

I'am serially trasmitting arduino ADC Data to android device via USB OTG. my issue is that When Iam debugging the app I found that the data is getting received very slowly on the device.

below is the code for receiving the data. The serial library reads the data in a broadcast receiver and the data is passed to a USBSerial interface callback method. I assume it is slow because I put a Breakpoint inside if loop to check the buffer after receiving 3 seconds of data, but it never comes at the Breakpoint . Debugging method is through WiFi.

UsbSerialInterface.UsbReadCallback mCallback = new UsbSerialInterface.UsbReadCallback() { //Defining a Callback which triggers whenever data is read.


@override
public void onReceivedData(byte[] arg0) {

buffer = arg0;
int len ;
if (buffer.length > 5) {
String strIncom = new String(buffer, 0, 5);

if (strIncom.indexOf('s') == 0 && strIncom.indexOf('.') == 2) {
strIncom = strIncom.replace("s", "");
finaldata1 = Double.parseDouble(strIncom);
chdata = (int) Math.round((finaldata1 * 1023) / 5);
buffer_bt[ind_bt] = (int)chdata;
if (ind_bt>=Fs*3)
{
ind_bt=0;
for (int uu=0; uu<Fs*3; uu++) {
copy_buffer_bt[uu] = buffer_bt[uu];
}
ready_bt=1;
}
ind_bt = ind_bt +1;


}

}
}
};

My arduino side code is

void callback() // timer interrupt function called at a frequency of 256Hz.
{

if (b == 'a')
{

Serial.print('s');
Serial.print(floatmap(sensorValue,0,1023,0,5),2);

}

}

float floatmap(float x, float inMin, float inMax, float outMin, float outMax)
{
return(( x- inMin)*(outMax-outMin)/(inMax-inMin)+outMin);
}

kindly help!

I believe the only solution is to reset chrome. Now you should be able to do this without losing your bookmarks.

• Startup Chrome and make sure Sync Your Chrome data is switched on - if it's not turn it on and wait a few minutes for them to sync,
• Next is to switch off Sync Chrome data,
• Now go into the settings page of your phone, apps and force stop Chrome and clear the data,
• Now startup Chrome once again and it will ask you to sign into your Google account and to turn on Sync - do so,
• Over the next few minutes your bookmarks should sync.

If you want extra security you could sync your bookmarks to your PC'S Chrome.

I would suggest you use ConstraintLayout.

I'm using a new Google account but the old one i have has valuable bookmarks and google keep notes. Is there a way or an app that allows me to backup and restore my bookmarks?

So once downloaded how do you restore or add that data to another google account?

Just to be clear, you're going to be using a new Google account, correct? But you want it to use your old account's bookmarks and Keep notes, right?

Go to your Google Download your data page. Select the items you want to backup. Step through the process, specifying whatever's needed, such as where/how to receive the archived file.

I only did my Chrome bookmarks for this experiment; there are many other choices.

Make sure you choose Chrome's bookmarks; the 'Bookmarks' entry earlier in the list is not for Chrome.

It took a second or two to create the archive. I saved mine on my Drive, then moved it to one of my computers (so these tired old eyes could continue on a nice big screen!). You'll have to unzip the file, so put it somewhere where you can do that. Make note of where it unzips.

Using desktop Chrome, I chose its '3 dots' menu, then 'Bookmarks,' then 'Import bookmarks & settings.' I followed its prompts, navigating to, and selecting, the unzipped file, which is called bookmarks.html. It imported everything just fine.

To sum it up:

- logged in with your old account, create backups for the Google apps you want, as outlined above

- find and unzip the archive file

- log out of your old account

- logged in with your new account, open the app, e.g., Chrome, and find its 'import' option

- follow its prompts, navigating to the unzipped files and selecting the appropriate one for that app

That should do it.

PS I did much of this from memory. If anything's unclear, just ask!

I'm trading my old phone in for a new one and was wondering if I saved my line data to my sd card will my linked games also transfer over to the line app with my new phone? My email also linked to line?

Thanks for the reply but my phone is a P31 pro which has no custom rom so I'm not even going to bother asking anyone anymoree cause I don't want to brick it.

Try starting the phone in safe mode, and should definitely prove if it's from a user installed app, or if it's an Oppo Color OS system feature.

Thanks I played around with it and rebooted my phone and it seems to have gone away but I'll keep you updated

I just notice that most case, even the case that comes with phones are very hard to put on

I've never had a phone that came with its own case. I've always bought my own, such as Otterbox Defender cases. They're generally easy to put on--tight, yes, but easy enough to put on--while taking them off can be something of a challenge!

If you're using a case that shipped with the phone, it should fit, and I wouldn't expect that to take much effort. If you bought a case yourself, are you sure it's for your exact model?

It's not supposed to be this difficult.

My step dad got me this stylo 4 plus. Coostest thing ever right? WRONG! i dont no how he's doing it but has control over every thing i do on it. He can stop a download process and start another just as fast. Make my 'pre-installed pps' none function right. Iv checked all the normal spy apps bht nothing! Any suggestions?

What carrier are you on? He could possibly have a child guard app installed where he can monitor your phone.

Yep music was good but was coming over as i was trying to make a call

Could anyone suggest a good way (or app) that can takes screenshots on Android-x86 and save image files on disk? Thanks.

What do you mean by "uses SD card memory"? Do you mean whether the app can store files on SD (e.g. photos, ebooks, maps), or whether the app itself can be (partially) moved to SD? These are quite different things. My first thought was that you meant the first of these, but then the second is a much more common question.

The simple answer to both questions is "if the developer wrote it that way". For the second question there's also the additional stipulation "if the phone's operating system supports doing that" (not all do).

If you mean the app's ability to write to SD, if the developer hasn't provided that there's nothing you can do. Since Android 5 the app has actually had to request the ability to write to anything more than a limited sandboxed area of the SD card, and if that particular API call isn't included in its code all you can do is ask the developer to add it.

If you mean moving the app to SD, then you could try enabling USB debugging, installing adb on a computer, and using the command:

adb shell pm set-install-location 2

That should allow you to move more apps than you can by default (I suggest doing a bit of reading to find out what that command actually does rather than typing it blindly). It will of course only work if moving to SD is supported by the phone, and it certainly won't allow you to move pre-installed apps. Remember that this is a legacy feature, and limited in what it moves (the apk and library components of the installed app, but no other elements of the installed app and not the app's settings, cache or other data), and you should not attempt to move any app whose widget you use (the widget will continue to work until the next time you reboot the phone, but will be broken after that unless you move the app back to internal).

Inquiring minds wanted to know!

Thanks guys. Not Elk, this is part of my family's attempt to reduce plastic. The handle is actually made from bamboo and is beautifully weighted. Still working on my technique tho..

I use the same Google Calendar on 2 identical phones (Motorola Turbo II) on Verizon. Suddenly today, my second phone no longer allows me to set up appointment with a choice of color code. The most noticeable difference I see on the new or edit appointment page is the absence of color code choice and another button with a Lock icon captioned "Calendar default." Appointments already on the calendar still allow editing of color code. I want to return the Calendar on that second phone to the original settings.

Okay, that's good, because I don't think there's anything to worry about.

however now I'm a little more concerned because your screenshot doesn't show anything like mine so why does mine have it and no one else's?

Correction: no one who's popped in on this conversation.

There are a million reasons your options can be different from mine. If you look through any threads at random, where people have compared screenshots of various things, you'll find that they're almost never identical. The manufacturer, the specific device, the carrier, the Android version...lots of things can cause differences.

If you're still worried--and I don't think you should be--please post a few screenshots of these timestamps, and let us have a look at them.
