I like to carry my phone(s) in my shirt pocket. Most don't have a flap and even those that do aren't deep enough to cover the end of a phone. Thus, rain, even soft drizzle, is an issue. Is there any kind of plug or case that would protect the empty headphone port?

I was thinking about this, because it's been a bit precipitous around here in the last few days, and I have to ask. How often are you walking about in rain wearing just a shirt? Me, I'll usually have at least an umbrella, and weatherproof clothing as well if the forecast is not so good.

Thanks a lot!!!

I'm at least willing to give it a try before I throw the good old thing away just because the OS is outdated...

Well bummer. Maybe it's time to just contact Samsung directly. Just be upfront about the situation and perhaps there's a solution to this on their end, or they can provide some tips on what needs to be done to get this working again for you. At the bottom of this page there's an 800 number to call or initiate a live chat session.

Just got the watch and have paired with success but trying to access other things ans every video I watch shows the operator pressing on the round dial button, which also houses the camera- to access more pleasant useable menus.

Left a few things out. The round button seems to be pressed in and unresponsive to pressing. Also, do I need a memory card for apps......
TIA

I don't know what a "cleanup scan" is (some Samsung feature, or a third party app?). If deleted images were on a removable sd card then you can restore them by sticking it in a card reader, attaching that to a computer and using any file recovery software you like. Don't use it inbetween or you may overwrite them. If they are on internal storage you've probably no way of recovering them.

However from your screenshot it looks like the images are still there, just the thumbnails are gone. Most gallery apps will rebuild those anyway, but have you tried just opening them with a gallery app, a file browser, or copying/sending some elsewhere and seeing whether you can view them there? It may be just the preview that has gone.

Can you tell us exactly what this "cleanup scan" said it was going to delete? It's always a good ide to check rather than just accept all suggestions from cleanup utilities.

Ok. I dumped the cheap usb storage and upgraded to an external drive. My box is running better with plenty of storage with a 400gb sd card and 2tb hdd. I also discovered that having an ethernet cable plugged into the jetstream box causes the wifi to not connect. I wanted to compare the connections and could not figure out why the wifi would not connect if I needed. Figured I'd post these tidbits for other jetstream users. I don't see any great sites supporting android tv.

This may sound a bit odd, and it may be a red herring in your case, but when I first installed Studio 3.4.0 and started to use it, I found one or two modules had not been installed. When I started the app by pressing the green triangle icon rather than Tools > AVD Manager as directed by the tutorial, it prompted me to install the missing bits and bobs...

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How can I know the method used to unlock my device was manufacturer supported fastboot command or device specific hack?

For my case Minimal ADB and Fastboot installed in a Computer was used to unlock the Bootloader of my device then TWRP recovery was used to flash the device - Huawei Y6II, since then whenever I restart or power on my device I get this annoying message "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted."

Click to expand...

Bahahahahahah!! Oh my gosh, lmmfao. I'm sorry and do apologize for finding humor in that (just woke up) but that's standard warnings imbued by the mfgrs to keep you from doing anything to it. That's it. No worries tho. Even Motorola devices do that after unlocking, it's just to scare you. What some ppl are doing is installing different " bootlogos" that hide those msgs on startup. Really, no worries..

Cool. Thanks,

try clearing cache for the keyboard. or just reboot the phone.

One reason I want to root the device is to get rid of some of the junk apps that you cant uninstall without root access. But the main reason is to network unlock it. Mine is locked on the at&t network but I want to be able to use it on whatever network I want. Do you know of any software for PC that i can use for network unlocking without rooting i dont have the money to pay for a third party to do it of it is possible to do it myself. But I cant find anything about doing it without a outside source.

Click to expand...

you do not need to root to unlock the phone from a carrier. i have no idea on software to do that......sorry.

also there is really no development for your phone so rooting for me is moot. you want a custom rom that has all the bloat out, but the only rom out there for the s8 active is the one i linked you to.

Thanks, I followed that link, and that is my impression as well.

did this recently pop up? maybe try uninstalling your most recent apps to find the cuklprit.

i have never seen this before.

From where to download different layout for Android studio

OK, so I tried it with another device this morning and it works fine. So, the problem must be with the device I am trying to connect (Samsung Tab A 10.1) and it doesn't like usb to USB c cables. One thought that crosses my mind (if it can be called a mind) is that it might be possible wirelessly with something like AirDroid.

Do you know there's a setting in the Developer Options to do this - 'Force activities to be resizable'

Alternatively you can try using a value of 0 on your ADB command, that should revert the behaviour back to default state.

Click to expand...

Yes, I know this fact. I had in fact disabled D.O. and deactivated that setting. However the icons persist. Do you have any idea of the reason for all this? Perhaps does the above command, given after having used (i.e. activated) the setting in D.O., force to maintain the freeform support enabled? Now I'm going to try your hint. Many thanks.

Edit: it works good with value 0.
many many thanks

If all else fails, here is a website you can download the Firmware for your Samsung device. https://www.sammobile.com/2013/09/2...ion-firmwares-are-now-available-for-download/

I buy used phones often. The problem is i asked sprint to check the imei, through their live chat, and was told it was fine. Later after buying the phone and checking again, they tell me its locked to an account. I have tried calling to have it unlocked but was told it is not possible. Thanks for the feedback

Click to expand...

well that sucks.....sorry to hear that. never used their live chat before.

I usually use Allavsoft to downoad deezer music offline to my computer for backup and then trasfer it to my phone.

Well, it weird enough. You shouldn't need to change the image name when you want to change from real device to emulator.

Here's a screenshot. It's not really huge, but still...I do have a 256 gb sd card, the biggest this S5 can apparently handle.
