Help Removal of MTK Logger

R
I see you posted that a year ago and presumably found a fix, but anyway in the hope that this might be useful to others:

This worked on my Asus Zenpad 8:

Install "Engineer Mode MTK Shortcut" at
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Go.EngModeMtkShortcut
Open the app - it's just a shortcut to EngineerMode
Swipe left to "Hardware Testing"
Tap on Audio then Audio Logger
Uncheck any checked boxes - there was just one checked on mine, one of the mixer dumps.

That's it! Good luck.

Selection screens

R
I'm having one heck of a time trying to get selections screens to display properly in some apps. The screen only shows a slice of the window. I've tried adjusting resolution but it doesn't help. Has anyone run across this before?

An example app would be Kodi Configurator. All windows seem fine until you choose a build, at which point the attached screen is displayed. Quite frustrating.

New to programing

mraamohamed said:
Hello there all, before you spam me remember we were all beginners at one time or another. Ok with that said I am NEW to programming all together, but I want to learn and I have some ideas that I can not find an app for so I want to do for myself.

Now I have NO programming background, a little HTML and in that I mean LITTLE. So I have read that in todays world it is fairly easy to learn to do this, so I decided to go to the source and start with the forum that came up when I typed Learn Android Programming forums, and well here I am.

So please be honest with me, I am 52 years old so my mind is not as sharp as a 25-year-old, so might take me a while but I am willing to take the time as I am retired and just sit around watching YouTube all day anyways.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I would probably run Netbeans, and don't bother getting into JavaFx, just learn the basics of java, like conditional statements, variables, loops, classes, objects, static/non-static methods, arrays, Strings, Collections.
Start with finding prime numbers or things like that.

Blu Grand M2 home screen search box

Yes, I have tried to long press and drag to remove. After much searching, I found out that it is a "Google Go" search and it cannot be uninstalled.

I just looked up Google Go in the Play Store. When I view it in a browser, it says it's incompatible with all my devices. Odd. So I looked at it in the Play Store app--where it says it's not available in my country. Ah-ha!

It says a similar app is already installed: Google. Okay, so wherever you are, the Google Go app replaces the Google app--but you can't uninstall it. You can, however, disable it. At least you should be able to. Try that and see if the search box goes away.

M20 and M30 specs

svim
Looking over a side=by-side comparison of the hardware specs
https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=9506&idPhone2=9505
There are a lot of very similar aspects between both models, although the M30 does have a big bump in both RAM and internal storage (with similar CPU and GPU, the RAM will be a significant plus for the M30 as far as general, daily usage). Both have similar main cameras, with a significant bump in the M30's front, selfie cam. With both models having such similar main cameras, and this is all speculation, it's also likely both models being released within a month of each other will also have the same Camera app, With such similar camera hardware and software it wouldn't be likely one phone is taking taking significantly better photos than the other.

Folders

Trying to create folder for associated apps on the home page. That is not a system folder.

Your tablet's Home screen is not a folder, it's a graphical representation of a 'desktop'. If you want to nest different app icons into one icon, try drag-and-dropping one icon on top of another. That should result in a single icon that shows tiny versions of those icons inside it.
Otherwise, when you're using a file manager app, or using the Settings >> Storage menu, to make new folders or other such file/folder management tasks keep in mind there are restrictions put in place as to where you have full access to. A lot of those restrictions are intended to keep users from messing up/bricking their devices,

Help How to stop PDF from downloading

ArtemisTwo said:
Yes, I should have known better! I had just swiped down from the top to see what notifications I had; they're mostly emails or updates, but this wasn't either of those. It had a triangle symbol next to it. For some stupid reason, I didn't think anything malicious could be spread via a PDF, but probably some hacker is clever enough to do that.
Click to expand...
TOTALLY DOABLE via PDF, ISIS was certainly using/propagating that method to compromise, hack, and actually find some of their victims.. Also, many ppl and Carriers were pwnd via the Samsung extensions in some websites.Plz be careful in future.

Hiding apps

ocnbrze
@Dannydet 's idea is the easiest.

there are other ways. you can download a launcher from the play store. a launcher is like a skin that goes ontop of your android phone's operating system. it allows for more customization including hiding apps.

depending on what version of android you have you can just disable the app in your phones settings. but newer versions of android you can't do it.

as you can see the easiest is to just go to gmail on your web browser. you will have to enter your account info each time, but it is much simpler. if you want to try the launcher route and have questions let us know.
