What are the notification icons that are circled in red for (what app)

Not really. If it's your phone you can just pull the notifications dow to see. I could attempt guesses at the general type of app in some cases, but not identify the specific app.

On the plus side, 99.9% of these queries we get are someone who has seen something vaguely heart-shaped on their SO's phone. So it was a pleasant change to get one of these that doesn't appear to be driven by insecurity or lack of trust in a relationship ;).

Google certificate does not match private key in Play console

Hi everyone,

I was about to publish my first app on Play Store and everything ran smooth until I had to upload my Android Studio Bundle encrypted key (.pepk file).
The Play console displays the following error message :
"The private key does not match the certificate we have for this application". (english translation of a french message).
I do not know what to do. I downloaded and ran the pepk java tool but the result is the same.
What is the certificate the console is talking about ?
Is it possible to reset it and how ?
When I tried to upload a "regular" apk file, the console blocked and forced me to build my app as a Android App Bundle, thus requiring a .pepk file for the encrypted private key.

I have never changed my email for perhaps 20 years. I only bought a new laptop tow months ago.

Thank you so much for your help.

Uploading edited images

My old phone kept the copy in the same place. This phone foes too, it's only when uploading to Facebook, it recorders them.
Then it's a facebook problem, right? I don't do fb so I can't try it myself, but if you're only experiencing this with fb, it sounds like a fb issue to me.

As for apps, I use F-Stop Pro. When I edit a photo it saves its copy with ~(1) at the end of its name, and displays it right there with the original. So finding and renaming it is effortless.

Help note 8 screen shadows

If it is screen burn. you have two options basically.
1. Replace the screen, maybe $200-$300.
2. Live with it.
Or, 3) if it's still under warranty, get a replacement.

That's what I did with my Moto Z² Force. I don't know how old the Note 8 is, but if its manufacturer warranty has expired, perhaps the OP purchased an extended warranty and it's still good.

Wildfire s sync

Mmmm, there were for possible files (IIRC) to export but all were null value.

I really did *try* every possibility as I have come unstuck with the dumbness of all sorts of software in the past. My background is very dated now but it used to be in digging data out of databases using Perl / MySQL.

As I mentioned, using the old backup, I did a fair percentage of what I wanted to do, by way of moving the contacts and have done the last bit manually. It just wasn't worth spending the time to fight what I think is probably problematic software in an old and now, (justifiably, by HTC) unsupported phone ...

I really appreciate your help though. Chapeau!

Notification bar

I ended up having to do a factory reset. My son keeps downloading games and something went wrong. I tried deleting the game but that didn't work. At the I had to do it because a pop up wouldn't allow me to do anything.
Thanks for letting us know that you solved it, and how.

Now you might want to set Parental Controls so you're the only one who can install apps from the Play Store. 'Sorry, son, but these are the new rules!' :D

First thing to try: change your location mode to "device only", i.e. turn off all of the wireless network-based location and just use GPS. Do you get the correct location then?

If so the problem is that Google's database of what wireless devices are where is out of date. Maybe your cellular network has changed something, maybe someone has moved a WiFi network from one location to another, maybe Google have just screwed-up their database, but it's some wireless source being in a different location to where they expect that is confusing your location. These things usually get fixed after some interval.

Conversely if the problem persists when only using GPS, try switching to "low power" mode (if you still have it: it was deprecated in Android 9). That uses only wireless location. If that then behaves correctly it would suggest a fault in your GPS system.

If neither makes a difference, I don't know. Maybe back up and try a factory reset, see whether it clears some corrupted data (I usually prefer to be more surgical, but don't know precisely what to clear or whether you'd be able to anyway). You could try clearing the system cache first, just in case that's enough (saves the hassle of setting everything up again if you are lucky).

It's also conceivable that there's a fault with your phone that you cannot fix yourself. But let's hope not. The first suggestion is the most common cause of these things.

Can't turn off youtube captions

Ok I can, when I'm watching a video and there are captions I hit ol' 3 dots and select 'turn off captions'. Done.

But one or two videos later, there they are again. Somehow turning themselves back on. Please help!
I don't see captions, but it could be because I have it disabled on my account. On a PC I went to the youtube website and in "Settings > Playback and Performance" I disabled captions.

The youtube app on your phone has the same setting under "Settings > Captions". I don't know if disabling it in one place over the other is better.

In both of the above you have to click your avatar in the top right corner to get to the settings.

TCP client send only first char to server

Hello ,
I have a strange problem
I'm trying to send string using TCP client .
I can see the string that I want to send is in the right length (about 15 chars) , but on the server side I only get the first char....
I thought the prboem is in the server code (which is not) so I have also check with WireShark - agian I only get the first char

what is the problem?

private void initViews() {
txtBarcodeValue = findViewById(R.id.txtBarcodeValue);
surfaceView = findViewById(R.id.surfaceView);
btnAction = findViewById(R.id.btnAction);



btnAction.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@override
public void onClick(View v) {

if (intentData.length() > 0) {

Thread thread = new Thread(new Runnable() {

@override
public void run() {
try {

String server_ip = "My.Server.IP";
int server_port = 8888;

String messageStr = intentData + "!" + Number+"!"+ name+"!";

Socket clientSocket = new Socket(server_ip, server_port);
clientSocket.setSoTimeout(2000);// I thought maye this is the problem - didn't help
DataOutputStream outToServer = new DataOutputStream(clientSocket.getOutputStream());
BufferedReader inFromServer = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(clientSocket.getInputStream()));
outToServer.writeBytes(messageStr + 'n');
ServerReply = inFromServer.readLine();

///need to write a function that check the response

clientSocket.close();


} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

finally {


}
}
});

thread.start();



}
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),ServerReply,Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
// finish();

}


});
}


anyone?

Thanks ,

Moving apps to sd card.

Thanks all for replying,
@Hadron:
2) I've configured my SD as default memory, one of the apps I installed was huge (~1GB, Here we go map, and I use it offline, that's why it's huge), after installing 4 apps, the phone said out of memory when tried to install next one.
3) Thanks for the tips, it's good to know to not format SD as internal memory.

Android G7 slim Q

Welcome to Android Forums. I don't know what app you are using to rename your files. If you haven't experienced the problem before while using whatever file manager you are using, the culprit might be a lack of storage space.
I truly do not have an answer. I hope someone can assist you.

ROOTED

I don't know much about phones. What does Molly in the phones about phone section mean?
What I'm asking is this some kind of Root application? Is this the Version name????

Yeh, it could be a version name. Some Motorola Moto E4s were called "Perry". I've also seen "Jenkins" in some Chinese phones and tablets as well, which i think is the build system they used for the firmware.

Suggest you post some screen-shots, will give us a better idea of exactly what you've got there.

The Rise and Fall of the headphone jack

OT

If you're buying any new LPs now, they'll have been pulled from a digital source anyway. The signal source for a modern record cutter is digital storage, and not reel-to-reel tapes these days AFAIK.

Also any studio recording made in the last 20-30+ years, is likely to have been done digitally anyway. CDs sometimes have "DDD" on the label, to indicate a completely digital process was used to produce it.


I always find the digital vs analogue debate interesting. :)
Yes, we know CDs are digital. Hadron mentioned that above as well. The thing is you can get higher quality sound from a FLAC over a CD. Not that one can discern the difference, but the facts remain...
https://www.cnet.com/news/what-is-flac-the-high-def-mp3-explained/

LPs used to be considered better because they were already analogue therefore not needing to be converted to digital. Digital formats need a digital to analogue converter(DAC) which even our phones have.

Odd feelings, like Twilight Zone

A reply to all. I don't know what happened but this sites format changed and my app for this site is gone.
Nothing's changed here that I'm aware of. Your app...it just disappeared? I never use it; I just use a browser. Does that work for you?
I can no longer download games either.
Do you mean from the Play Store, or...?
I sent a pm to the moderator a week ago to no avail. I also get no more notifications like i used to.
Post on the Suggestion Box & Feedback board; all the mods check it.

Just wondering, did you upgrade to Android 10?
