Has anyone bought a tablet directly from a Chinese manufacturer?

Davdi
Actual viruses (Viri?) don't exist for Android, as it's Linux at heart. There are, however plenty of other types of Malware around.
Why do you think there's malware on the tablet? is it misbehaving, or did an 'Anti Virus app' tell you it found something. If so, what is it telling you?
ALso, if it's a bloateare app that you can see in the Apps part of settings, you can always disable the app. It won't remove the offending app, but will stop it from running.

Help Issue with SD Card - files reappear after formatting

Solutionfinder
Hi, I have been having similar problems with sd cards!
Tried deleting files or formatting them and each time the card comes back to the initial state!
I use android, windows and also Linux and the cards in question react the same way on all systems!
In most cases I have managed to format the cards in the end and fix the problem but n each time it has only worked with one of the 3 OS s and changes each time!
I have had similar problems with hard drives in the past!
I believe it has to do with programmes OR s taking ownership of files or of the disk themselves and making impossible to change these files.
There is one other possibility: that it is some kind of worm /virus as one thing all these cases have had in common is *playlist files* even the cards or drives had never been connected to a media device.
My SanDisk in wich I am using one such card does not recognise said *playlist.sal*
And none of my other devices can access these files either
(With the exception of one card that refuses to over wright the contents)

Should I be concerned?

Davdi
It's more likely to be a sensor failure. If a server with a 550W PSU was drawing 2.6KW I'd be expecting a loud bang and a strong smell of burnt insulation. And the server room breaker ought to trip.
Iwas in a server room a while ago, doing maintenance on a server, while other techs installed some new boxes. Unfortunately they exceeded the capacity of the room's breaker. BANG, ALL the servers, the lights and the A/C died, leaving us in a dim red emergency lighting glow.

The number of destiny

maciek2048
The game is a transfer of the notebook version of the game 'The Number' from my childhood.
The playmaker had his notebook with a list of numbers under which the data was written in succession by categories.
In the application, the quarterback does not have an insight into what is hidden under the given number on the list, which is why he can participate in the game himself.
Collect a group of friends, have fun, and laugh together from your destinies!
Laugh from your randomly generated life.

Help LG Stylo 4 - made and received calls - other person heres echo

T
It happened to me on my volt 2 AND my Stylo 3. Both times were resolved by changing phone cases. I was getting feedback and echo from the ambient mic they use for noise cancelation necise the case was too close to it...or so I read. Whatever caused it...changing cases did it for me twice. Soooo...IF ur still getting echo or feedback, try it without the case and see if that helps.

Help Cannot mount /data in twrp

E
The first problem that I encountered was when Messenger started crashing after opening non-facebook links. Then I noticed that Gmail kept crashing a couple seconds after opening. I tried to clear Android AppView cache, data, Gmail's cache, app data, uninstalling updates but the problems were left unfixed.
I found a post suggesting wiping data partition, but that couldn't be done. I tried to repair /data, unfortunately I got error 8. Is it possible that I didn't root my phone correctly? If yes, should I try flashing again?

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.
