When mine had random reboots, I did the paper trick and it fixed it.

LOL it reminds me the PDA era when I had to use a small piece of paper to fix the widespread battery latch issue on the Dell Axim model.

Even if the above trick works, it's temporary and the phone can't be trusted, especially when your safety is involved.

Are you able to point me to the exact root and roms for my tablet?

well the first link will root your device the second link is just to the rom development forum. you can take your pick of roms to try out. but the Resurrection Remix rom looks promising. please read as much as you can. read the op and as many pages as you can. each rom thread will have discussions of the rom as well as troubleshooting and bugs encountered and any fixes for them.

Annoying "Close Apps..." message

Thanks for your suggestion. I checked it and turned off all the apps that were set to be closed after Screen Lock.
At first it seemed that was the solution, but now (after a few days) it seems worse. The notification comes up many times per minute.I have tried re-booting, but that makes no difference.
Annoyance continues!

Well, I gave. This is my 2nd BLU phone in 2 years. They replaced the 1st one because they could not fix it. This 2nd one has a less serious problem, but I'm just fed up. I got a Moto X4 and so far I'm loving it

Maybe I am onto something, I knew I was always ahead of my kind...
That would be killer though to learn about smart phones and the way they tinker this and that, thinking way past
the delevoper stages too, a few dozen pythons, c, java, the entire works and then learn the p.c. on how to utilize apps, and see what kind of under coating it should go into each square.. Wifi transfer each app via cellphone or even tablet...

Phone vs. Incallu

Hadron
Correct. If I'm just looking at my call log, or selecting someone to call, I'm using the Phone app. I'm only using the in-call user interface (i.e. "incallui") when I'm actually in a call, but then it doesn't matter whether I initiated the call or not, if I'm in a call I'm using the in-call UI.

"Phone" is the "dialer" app, the interface for making calls, reviewing call logs, looking at contacts. The in call UI is a system component that comes into play when you are actually in a call. Technically it's an app (everything you interact with is), but it's a low-level one that comes with the operating system rather than one you can find in the Play Store. So you can use a different dialer app (there are alternatives in the Play Store), but doing that won't change the in-call UI.

I bought a tablet in 2013 and the things just keeps on ticking.

I hear you! I also have a 2013 tablet, a Kindle Fire HD 8.9" which I rooted, so it looks and acts like any other Android device. It runs great!

Due to circumstance, I'm not using it much lately, but when I do it still does everything I need. I used to play Candy Crush Soda Saga on it daily, and the game's automatic updates caused no issues.

But I've resigned myself to the fact that its days are numbered, even though--like yours--everything still works and it looks brand new. It's been in an Otterbox Defender case since the day I got it, and it has absolutely no damage. But at some point...

Help Chrome "Favorites" pages?

Indigowolf said:
Ok, not sure if you still need this info. Also, this only works you have a pixel phone, that I know of.
  • Look at the bottom of your phone screen. There should be a Google quick search bar there.
  • Tap that bar.
  • Next tap the G at the top of the screen. This should take you to the same page as swiping all the way left.
  • At the bottom of the screen tap on More.
  • Then choose "collections"
  • At the bottom of the next screen should be your collections or favorites automatically sorted into similar categories.
  • Click on favorites or a category to find what you are looking for.
  • Star from now on to find faster

Thank you. I have since found these, lost them again, found them again and so on. What a stupid feature. Many things Google has are so hard to find that they are virtually impossible to use. My phone doesn't work exactly the way you described, but I am able to find the "collections." And you are right, they are there.

Unfortunately, when I open them, I STILL cannot easily bookmark them instead because another pain is that they open in something that looks exactly like Chrome, but apparently isn't Chrome because you have to go to the menu and then select "Open in Chome" to have them open in another browser like thing that looks the same and apparently actually IS Chrome so you can finally bookmark it.

Seems to me they should eliminate this favorites feature. It's worse than nothing.

Thank you for your great response!

My contacts are being constantly deleted

svim
Well at least this is a repeatable problem, a one-off glitchy thing is harder to nail down.
Try resetting the Contacts app on your phone and see if syncing it to your online Google Contacts works the way it should.
-- Disable sync with Contacts in your Settings >> Accounts >> Google menu.
-- Reset the Contacts app by going into your Settings >> Apps >> Contacts app menu, open it and tap on 'Force stop', and then locate 'Clear data' and tap on that. Using Clear data will wipe the app's cache and its settings/configuration files, essentially returning the app to its first time use default.
-- Enable syncing again (make sure you're device is connected to a reliable WiFi or mobile data connection), wait for a minute or so, and then check if the Contacts app is syncing properly wirelessly on its own the way it should.

[RECOVERY][UNOFFICIAL]TWRP

U
I have a tip for those who updated to Orangefox who want to use this .img file. I was on Lineage 14.1 with Magisk v18. I had Orangefox as the recovery but could not install this as it was not a zip file. I installed the Official TWRP app from Google Play. Then I installed the TWRP 3.3.1 Img using that app. It overwrote the ORangefox recovery and now I have TWRP 3.3.1 and I updated to the Resurrection Remix v7.0.2 with Magisk v19.3 Stable.

Apps How to create a TextView of set size with scroll bars when needed?

U
I have found a solution for my specific problem. Instead of using a TextView object inside a HorizontalSrollView object to allow me to scroll the TextView sideways, I'm using an EditText object with all of its additional properties removed, save for its scrolling feature:
Code: 
<LinearLayout
            android:id="@+id/item_bottom"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:orientation="horizontal"
            android:weightSum="8">

            <EditText
                android:id="@+id/item_balance"
                android:layout_width="0dp"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_weight="5"
                android:background="@android:color/transparent"
                android:clickable="false"
                android:cursorVisible="false"
                android:focusable="false"
                android:fontFamily="sans-serif-black"
                android:singleLine="true"
                android:text="26677889.44 €"
                android:textColor="@android:color/black"
                android:textSize="36sp"
                android:textStyle="bold" />
