the best way to send videos, especially large sized videos thru text or email is to use google drive. just upload the video there and use the share option. you should be shown a link which you can just copy and paste in to either text or email. i know it is not quite the same, but texting especially is not that sophisticated when it comes to handling media files like that.

Sorry for the delayed response and thank you very much. Using your suggestion solved that problem. I think I just need to sit down with someone who also has an android who can walk me through the learning process. Again, thanks so much!!

Instagram - Retrofit

umtblbl
Hello friends,
The following url returns the user's followers as json if the user logged in to instagram in the browser. If no input is made, the data is not returned.
How do I set a user's login status when sending a request to this url with Retrofit on Android? I think this url will return empty data again if no login is made.

Example
https://www.instagram.com/graphql/query/?query_id=17874545323001329&id=427553890&first=20

Customising a spinner

S
So I figured this out, and it looks like I could make this work.
So in my class ConnectMySql in the onPostExcute method I have the following:

Code: 
@Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
    ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(getActivity(),R.layout.spinner_layout, trainers);
    spinner.setAdapter(adapter);
}

The only change is changing the "android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item" to "R.layout.spinner_layout", and then creating a layout_spinner.xml file.
This was the original line:
Code: 
adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String> (getContext(), android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item, trainers);

The layout_spinner.xml file:

Code: 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@android:id/text1"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceListItemSmall"
    android:gravity="center_vertical"
    android:paddingStart="?android:attr/listPreferredItemPaddingStart"
    android:paddingEnd="?android:attr/listPreferredItemPaddingEnd"
    android:minHeight="?android:attr/listPreferredItemHeightSmall"
    android:paddingLeft="?android:attr/listPreferredItemPaddingLeft"
    android:background="@color/logoGreen"
    android:paddingRight="?android:attr/listPreferredItemPaddingRight" />

Although it doesn't give me yet what I am wanting, it is just now a matter of changing this layout_spinner.xml to what I need.

Root Moto E (1st gen) failed root.

G
Hi All,
I, too, struggled at the point of getting my Moto E 1st gen (XT1021) to enter TWRP recovery. Everything looked fine from the adb command window, but, I suspect, on reboot in recovery mode, the stock recovery was overwriting the twrp.img recovery. After many, many, attempts, I found a dead simple solution: instead of naming the file twrp.img, I renamed it recovery.img . Success at first attempt!

Hope this helps someone,
GWH

Higher FPS drains battery faster and heats faster?

Hadron
Running the same hardware at a higher FPS will use more power, because the phone is having to do more calculations per second.
For the same reason running the same FPS but higher resolution in the same phone will use more power.

"Flagship" vs "midrange" is too broad for the question to be answered. Different flagships have different screen resolutions, as do different midrangers. Different display panels will use different amounts of power at the same refresh rate and same brightness. Different SoCs vary in the amount of power they use to do the same amount of computation. So different midrangers will use different amounts of power, different flagships will use different amounts of power, different people using the same phone will use different amounts of power (because e.g. they'll choose different brightness settings). There will be a range for both flagships and midrangers, and I expect the ranges overlap.

Different people have different sensitivities to frame rates, so I don't think there is a single correct answer to that last question.

why does my screen randomly go black

G
My Galaxy Tab A 8.0 does the same thing. Randomly swaps from landscape to portrait, then the screen turns off. 30-minute screen timeout setting. Tapping the power button does NOT restore the screen. Only a reboot seems to fix it. I have no case on my device. Very random occurrence. Sometimes it happens 1 or 2 times a day, other times I can go 2 or 3 weeks without any problem. Has happened ever since Lollipop, now running Nougat.

Android 9 Microphone feedback

C
My wife just got a new Galaxy S9. I noticed that it was significantly harder to hear her when we were talking. After a lot of troubleshooting, I've believe the problem is that her microphone is picking up the sounds coming from her speakers and canceling out all noises from being recorded. This happens when she has me on speaker phone as well as while we are in a video chat with Duo, Hangout, Skype, or Messenger (like I said, a lot of troubleshooting lol).

Is there a way to adjust the noise reduction or ambient noise threshold in Android 9?

Thank you in advance!

no luck with frp bypass mediatek

It's not for google to conjure up thoughts of stolen phones If a phone's been reset it's none of their business Google has service features for owners to reset their phones if lost or stolen and in that way can determine if a request came from the phone's owner If no such request was made there's no reason to assume the device to be stolen except that someone who bought a used phone is going to be very frustrated and without the use of the phone until they bypass frp Also, people trade in broken phones at cell phone retail stores bearing the names of the big four and selling their plans who then sell the broken phones and they end up on ebay
Click to expand...
tbh i feel better about this feature. if i left my phone lying around someone could find it and factory reset it and then use it as their own with their own acct. if you reset your phone, it is your responsibility to know your own acct info. even if it was bought used, as long as it was factory reset and then you sign in with your own acct, it is still your responsibility to know you acct info. its not google's fault if you forgot and can't log in. for me this is a very welcome security.

you can always go onto your pc and do a forget password with google and change the password which in turn should be able to log into your phone to unlock frp.

All Things Netflix

ocnbrze
just finished Minndhunter season 2.........i sure hope they keep this one going cuz it is brilliant. it is about the initial years where fbi starts to learn about profiling to catch serial killers. they initially started to do this by interviewing serial killers that have been caught. they interviewed people (if you want to call them that) like Ed Kemper and Manson among others.

it is such a great show.
