Thanks!!

Its a stock sound of some sort. As I said, I've had it happen on multiple Android phones and OS versions, and it just starts happening all of the sudden. This is the first I've been able to record it.

It's random enough that safe mode won't help. I could have the phone on for days and nothing, then one day it just does it for about 2-4 min or so, then stops. I'd have to operate in safe mode for a month or more.

But when it happens, its annoying AF. That's why I'm asking.

Current phone: TCL REVVL 5G model T790W
android version: 11
Build: RKQ1.210209.002

Developer mode is turned on.

want to install any modern browser

ok your tablet came out in 2012:

there is no "modern browser" that will work on your device.....rooted or non-rooted. your device does not have the operating power to run higher android os. i would look into getting a new device.

well your phone Galaxy J7 Nxt came out in 2015. its very old now. so current apps may not run as well on your phone. you will find that weird things like this may happen more often as the phone gets older. if the youtube app works just fine, i would just use that going forward. i see no fix for this issue.....especially if you uninstalled and then reinstalled chrome and you are still having issues. there is no phone setting that will fix this......so.....either get a new phone, or deal with using the youtube app.

I used to have the America Online 'You've got Mail!" alert as my text tone. Once I also had a Star Trek LCARS theme (the UI of The Next Generation onwards) that included the computer voice alerts. I had it saying stuff such as 'Incoming transmission!' for incoming calls, and 'Warning! Deterium levels are fluctuating beyyyyyoooonndd acceptable tolllllerrrrrances' for low battery alerts. In the early 2000s and into late 2012 I was extremely heavy into Star Trek. Pretty much all the series at the time. I got so involved that aside the theme I even had Tasker + AutoVoice set up to do a local offline computer voice assistant, using sound effects and voice clips from the Enterprise computer.

Currently my phone has the Galaxy SII sounds set up from the ringtone to the text tone. They're like traditions for me.

new big update: choose custom app list

Still lasts longer and doesn't look like every other crossover on the street. It was also far more comfortable on a long trip. Modern cars have too many LCD screens burning my retinas and they are not comfortable on a long trip at all. Numb butt is a common issue and pain in the back. They don't make cars comfortable today. They're just computers on wheels, and all look the same with the same choice of bland colours.

Is it so wrong to want variety back in the world? I suppose you prefer it Klaus Schwab's way, where everything is a 'modern' homogenized mess, where 'you will own nothing and be happy' while having everything on a subscription model, and all vehicles must be electric and limit mileage where seeing a distant relative is now a thing of the past (I would never see my girlfriend again since she lives 530 miles away from me, and no EV can go over 250-350 without an 8-hour recharge cycle and you're not getting that on the interstate) and I want nothing in my vehicle connected to any cloud, forced software updates on me, or worse, being monitored by God-knows-who, I've heard stories of Tesla owners who had their range artificially limited due to 'unauthorized mods' and who knows? Maybe I have an opinion that's a bit right of wing and they limit my mileage so I can't 'spead hate speech' which is really speech that someone doesn't like these days. Me outright saying 'i think deer hunters are no different from Ted Bundy' might get that EV they want to force on me to no longer go past 60 miles.

I am sorry but I will end my own life before succumbing to that hellscape of a world. Black Mirror is supposed to be a warning, not a user guide for governments.

FYI EVs and banning incandescent bulbs ain't gonna stop climate change. Not when at least 18% of greenhouse gas emissions (if you trust the ag lobby's figure, the world bank claims it's at least 51%) comes from animal agriculture alone, which is more than all forms of transportation combined. The whole 'zero carbon' can't exist in the modern world without us giving up electricity and going back to a 19th Century lifestyle, and even then you'd have carbon emissions. People today are nuts thinking they can achieve that, especially when many today consume more than ever in the past--look at the people who can't go a couple of years without getting a new smartphone that isn't any better than their old one.

I have been seeing several drives which they say are USB C which is what I have but most say the S/W is for Windows. I have ordered a Blu-ray drive which uses USB C. Only because in the comments did someone say it will work with Android. I guess I will have to wait and see

Found the perfect distro for that laptop. Apparently, Q4OS uses a DE known as Trinity that looks straight out of 2008. Out of the box it's got a default theme that resembles Windows 10, but has a ton of built-in themes that can restore classic KDE3 UI design, and comes preloaded with all the period correct apps such as Konquerer, Kmail, Amarok, and Synaptic. Unfortunately, it doesn't include or support IceWeasel, an older Firefox clone. It instead came with Quantum-Firefox which I hate and promptly uninstalled.

Not just Kitkat, in Marshmallow those apps are also white. The settings menu is also white, and the Verizon variant has no Samsung Internet browser (just Chrome). Now some AT&T variants have a dark settings menu, and some different UI designs for the phone dialer, but that is on both Kitkat and Marshmallow. The only things they added or changed in Marshmallow are the icon frames, floating action buttons, and the Material dialog boxes. Everything else was pretty much untouched. I think the S4 got more changes when it got Lollipop.

Can anyone reecommend an app that will let me create and export a simple list of all my apps? I want to be able to use it to search if any of my other apps do things like the Weather app

Hi everyone. I am still trying to build a database app with a RecyclerView. I have followed a tutorial from here:
The app runs, creates the database, and saves records. Note that the name is the primary key so you cannot save duplicate names. My problem with this is the same as the first app I tried to build. That is, when I try to view the data, it only shows the first record. The format of the display is OK but only the first record is shown. I can't seem to figure out what triggers a new row in the RecyclerView. I have attached a text file containing all the code for the various parts of this demo. I could surely use some help in figuring out what's missing.

Thanks

I saw that AdGuard VPN was disconnected. I reconnected and a slew of text messages and voicemail came in immediately. Also the single bar of Verizon came back. Weird.

I am a newbie to coding with Android Studio / Korlin.
To get started I am trying to build a simple app that give a Treeview of the internal storage of the device its run on (In the AVD I am using a Pixel 6 Pro - 34.

Keep in mind that if you use headsets or car audio, they will no longer 'auto pair' anymore, making it necessary to pull phone out, unlock and reconnect manually each time, which can become rather tedious. It won't net you any battery life either.

Symbol of phone with check mark is often the notification for 'your phone has downloaded a system update/new software update available'. At least, that's what it is on a modern Samsung phone. Sometimes when it's checking for an update over-the-air at random you'll see the icon show and vanish.

Please Please please Google sort this. I don't have this spoken notification setting and I know it's not just me because of how many posts there are about this issue all over the internet.
When there's a notification chime you can press the action button to listen - Google Search
This is beyond a joke and not acceptable.

XWidget also has a ton of the Samsung widgets (I am not sure if they ever updated to fix the bug in Android 12+ where the widgets stop refreshing though).

Samsung Internet and Samsung Notes will install on any phone, not just Samsungs. Samsung Health also works on non-Samsung phones. You won't get Messages, Gallery, Contacts, Phone Dialer or the like as those depend on specific OneUI APIs that don't exist on another phone. You can possibly find alternatives that are similar, but like my attempt at "Samsung-ifying" my Nexus 6, you'll end up with a half done attempt that won't ever feel right or complete.

I am not sure why you didn't choose another Samsung phone, such as one of the A-series, as they're cheap, work well and have the same UI design.

Noobie here. I installed Android Studio flamingo and followed a couple of tutorials on youtube. My latest effort involves experimenting with the Recyclerview. I have tried running it on a couple of different virtual devices and it runs OK until I try to launch the activity that has the Recyclerview. Then I get this error:

Failed to measure fs-verity, errno 1: /data/app/~~pmpCKyqulePUBHTy7ke96g==/com.example.recyclerdemo-480zG4iexej-Wk4snRDEjQ==/base.apk

So far I have not been able to find enough info about APK files to even know where to look.

Can someone help please? Much appreciated.
