Help My Korean SK Telecom S9+ missing features

electricpete
I would be concerned about having a strategy for updating (for security reasons)

what is your security patch date? (on at&t, mine is 6/1/19).

will your carrier support updating this phone? I doubt it. if not, rooting might be the only way to keep up to date. rooting is possible in the exynos versions of s9+ sold outside the us, but it may also come with some problems like screwing up some banking apps, risk of errors, etc.

How to fix ConstraintLayout inside ScrollView is not scolling?

1
Hello,

My App contains many buttons, which are shown under each other, two per row. I generate the buttons dynamically via Java, which are them shown in the ConstraintLayout.

Code: 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

    <ScrollView
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
        xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:fillViewport="true">


        <androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:id="@+id/rootLayout"
            >

            </androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

    </ScrollView>

I have tried several layouts beside the ConstraintLayout, the TableView scrolling worked, however the button are not in the correct place then.

This is how the buttons are generated:

Java: 
Button b = new Button(this);
            b.setText(myClass.getTitle());
            b.setTextColor(0xFFFFFFFF);
            b.setX(buttonX);
            b.setY(buttonY);
            b.setWidth(buttonWidth);
            b.setHeight(buttonHeight);
            conLayout.addView(b);

GPS Issue

Hadron
Can you get a fix and location using GPS Status? If you can then the problem is in your map app. If you can't then it's probably a problem with the location system itself.

In the latter case, try setting location to "device only", which uses GPS only (not "battery saving", which doesn't use GPS, or "high accuracy", which uses GPS + network). This is just to eliminate one possible source of the problem. Test it somewhere where you aren't surrounded by tall buildings (which can cause problems by blocking or reflecting signals). If it works there then your GPS itself works, so the problem is either the environment or the network-based location. If it still doesn't then I'd see about getting the phone replaced under warranty.

I am new. Made my profile. I have new Samsung Galaxy

Katievan8
New samsung Galaxy (after owning 5 Samsung Tablets) forced me.. it felt like... to open a Samsung account! Never did that before. I gave up, created acct., put in my pay info for Samsung 'store'... which I only do for Google, Amazon. After I created account, read all the terms of use, EULA info. etc. Etc...you guessed it-- ALL is Samsung now.
Y'all.. I had to buy something for new ' Oculus Go'... because other devices too expensive. Even all Smart phones. I saved 128.00 by this purchase.This model is a 2019 SM-T380. On sale: 165.00.
So! I have read how everyone is getting ambushed too--w/ following bs. It has 3 competing software.. that just TAKE OVER my Google set up. I know Or I hope.. can get on hard drive and delete Samsung account, yada yada. BUT... I have feeling this will be punitive!! IF I DELETE SAMSUNG acct.. I cant use any of their info... isnt that their loss.. throwing away baby with the bath water? HELP!!! Going to bed finally.. maybe I can get some responses from this diatribe on my otherwise beautiful device? Katie

Data Connection

Thank you very much I really appreciate you assistance I believe it has come down to an issue with the phone I may have to send it in for a repair or something because I have literally tried everything mentioned above including the factory reset this is a bummer it's a brand new phone.. factory unlocked and all such a shame
Click to expand...
If it worked in safe mode, then it had to work after a factory reset before you added any apps. If it didn't, then your phone is messed up somehow and needs to be replaced. Good luck. If you take it in and they fix it, please let me know what is was. I always like to learn.

Help Instable 3G connection

T
Hi everyone,

I have a problem with the 3G connection on my phone. I don't know if it's a software or an hardware problem.

So, I mainly use my 3G connection with wifi tethering (my laptop is connected to my phone hotspot). Regularly, I lose connection on my laptop. On firefox, the message in the status bar stays on "Looking for www.google.com" or "Connecting to www.google.com", for example. When that happens, the 3G connection on my phone appears to be still active, with the arrows indicating upload and download in the android status bar, but if I try to use the android browser, I have the same problem (the website is unreachable). I have to disable the data connection on my phone and then re-enable it so I can use it again.

I have another problem which is not my priority but may be linked to my main problem : sometimes (I don't know what determines that), if my phones battery is not charging, I lose wifi connection to my phone (when it's tethering).

My phone is quite old, but the battery still works fine, and my android is also an old one : 4.0.4. It's not rooted and it's not a custom rom.

If someone has an idea of where the problem could come from, It'd be great...

Direction

missiepalmer77
I'm on the nova bandwagon. Been using nova for about 5 yrs and I love it. It's the quickest I've found and the gestures help me keep the minimalistic clean home screen that I personally prefer and I've never had any issues with crashing or having to reload it all the time. Nova just always runs so smooth and quick and I have no intentions of changing any time soon. I pay for the full version which doesn't cost much and worth every cent.

And I currently have moto gen7 power

Help Bluetooth issues, popping and cracking. Is it just me?

K
Fixed It..
Mine was working on most devices but just had trouble with my favorite BT headphones..

Had the same problem on my S9. Turned off Dual Audio and it started to work fine.

Just got my Note 10+ and this didn't work.. Tried all sorts. Removing all devices, rebooting etc. Eventually after removing all devices and then pairing my headphones, I turned ON Dual Audio and they started to work without any distortion or crackling.. Can't be sure what the exact fix is but it's all about the Dual Audio... Think you need to turn bluetooth off, then switch Dual Audio(On or Off, whatever works) and then turn Bluetooth back on, not sure if the removing of all other devices had any effect.

Help update changes buttons to gesture, won't revert!

Hadron
Which update is this? I didn't know that the G6 was on the Android 10 beta programme, so are you talking about Android 9? If so the gesture setting name is a bit obscure, something like "swipe up on home button", which doesn't obviously tell you that this is what changes between the "pill" and the 3-button setup.

Or rather, that's the setting on a Pixel - I don't have a G6 to compare with, so am just hoping that it's the same problem (poor labelling of the function). But if it is not there at all then it's not Google forcing it on you but Motorola (because you can change it on a Pixel, after all).
