Help SD card deleting files automatically

Was it from Amazon themselves or a marketplace seller? Fake cards do sometimes get into legit supply chains, so even if it was sold by Amazon it might still be fake, but marketplace sellers are a higher risk (I've seen marketplace listings for.microsd cards with claimed capacities larger than actually exist - the vetting is not rigourous).

Best bet is to back up any data that are currently on it then test it. Some card verification apps may be able to spot if the brand is not what it should be, but the definitive test is to put it in a card reader, attach that to a PC and use a little app called h2testw: this will fill the whole card to its declared capacity and then check that the data can be read back correctly. If the card claims to have a large capacity this can take a long time, but it's a test that can't be cheated or tricked.

My phone specs say front camera does 720p max. Open Camera is able to record 1080p. For real?

No, it varies by maker and version. It will come down to trading one or the other for added performance or features. Checkout github for your device and find the packages apps and settings platform and click on commits, as you scroll you will see where these things are switched back and forth or changed becuase it did not work the way the DEV intended. Hope that helps

Link to my local_manifest.xml files for a bunch of custom rom builds from source

For any compilers on google devices that may struggle with local_manifest.xml files for custom rom makers such as Bootleggers, DU etc I have created a repo of my local_manifest files as well as some bash scripts I put together cause im just lazy and would rather not set my build env up cmd by cmd.

git clone https://github.com/Centurion83/local_manifest.xml.git

Live Video to TV

Hi all!

I'm using the default app and device to go from the phone to HDMI. It's all working as expected.... except....

The Android bar is displaying during the video. I've turned it off accidentally once, but every time I start it up it comes back up and I can't figure out what I did. :D

Hopefully someone has run into this before.

Here's an image of the bar I'm talking about

Thanks!

Phil

Notification badges

Finding out how to clear the cache was not easy, and when I googled it (after searching my phone and Samsung forums), none of the instructions I found corresponded to the selections on my phone. I made the search specific--Samsung Galaxy S7 Android 7.0 Nougat OS. After accessing just about every possible location on my own, I eventually found what I needed under Storage, which showed 0 cache usage for both Facebook and Twitter. I've blocked notifications every way I know how and a few I discovered during this process. The blasted badges are still showing, and I'm done. I removed both apps from my home screen because the badges irritate me to no end. I don't know why they do,, but I swear, I may just uninstall both apps and only look at them on my laptop. Thanks so much for your efforts to help me! I really do appreciate it!

Trouble with Google Assistant

Welcome to Android Forums, kenyamsmith252!
Why would the Google Assistant show someone else Info
As @mikedt pointed out, this is a T-Mobile problem, not Google Assistant.

If I were you, I'd take my phone to the nearest T-Mobile store ASAP and show them what you're seeing.

You can try calling their customer service, but I'm willing to bet that would end up in a runaround where they're telling you it's an Android problem. Best thing would be to let them see it for themselves.

Just on a personal note, this would make me EXTREMELY uncomfortable. T-M has clearly screwed up big-time. The fact that you're seeing someone else's account info is a huge privacy breach--and who's seeing YOUR info? :o

Hotspot/tethering problem

I fixed it for anyone else that needs to know... attached link is a screenshot of someone else's android that had the same problem, look at what they entered into the APN type and try changing yours to that:
1.Settings
2.>Connections
3.>Mobile networks
4.>Access Point Names
5.>tap your access point name that is activated currently (mine was: "Vodafone Live!")
6.>scroll down to APN type and paste this: default,supl,agps,fota,dun,hipri
