A Strange Anomaly

I too am looking for an app that is as easy to use but with some additional features such as not turning on via external device.

Like I mentioned I am using a workaround for now. The most annoying part is it will even play files that are stored in the "Secure Folder" if they were the last played with the app that itself is in the "Secure Folder" as separate version.

Odd to me.
If you find a player that behaves, please let me know. I have no problem paying for an app if it works well.

To Who To Report An Exploit?

An exploit? Simply because an app is popping up ads and/or prompting you to install otherwise unwanted bloatware sounds more like a common occurrence with a lot of apps, as oppose to actually being an actual exploit. Some developers will resort to doing things that may be questionably unethical but in our increasingly-perverted capitalist culture still legal to do.
If you installed an app that's too bloated with ads and crapware, just stop using it and uninstall it. It's your choice, just weigh the positives against the negatives. Not knowing just which app or apps you're referring to, hopefully there are equivalent substitutes that aren't so problematic. Or if the app has a pay-for version, the free version might be its ad-heavy version, and you just need to pay for it.
If it's an app that came pre-installed on your phone, you're essentially stuck with it. With system-level apps you can't readily Uninstall them but with some you can at least Disable them. At that point, at least they're no longer active and not able to mess things up in the background.

Integrate Google sign-in into an app

Hi,
I'm currently building an app, and one way to login/create an account is to use your existing Google account. Google does provide quite a few documents on how to do it, but once you get to the API part with the OAuth consent screen, it starts to get a bit confusing.

They require us to choose between an internal (Only available to users within your organization) and external (Available to any test user with a Google Account.) user type. External is the only option that can be selected for me, and that starts to make things difficult.
They require us to provide an app name, a logo, and a bunch of information that I don't have yet. All I want to do is test the Google sign-in method and see how I can integrate it in the future in a more serious project.

Is there any way to do this? Or do I have to provide them with all of this extra information?

Thanks

Where are recorded alarm sounds stored in Android 13

Actually that is not a new alarm feature of Android 13 - rather it is a new feature of your manufacturer's app in Android 13. The platform is not that consistent, I'm afraid.

Since my phone (also Android 13) doesn't have it I can't investigate. But if it's a feature of that particular clock app it's possible that it is stored in the clock app's internal data. If it is then only that app will be able to access it. If you can't see it in your internal storage (a subfolder of the Android folder or a folder whose name suggests media, notifications, alarms etc) that would be my guess.

How to connect Android to WiFi and network in the same time

I need Android to connect to both WiFi and the 4G Network in the same time.
As known, the default setting makes Android disconnect from the network once it connects to WiFi,
therefore it can't connect to both simultaneously.

There is an app in the Google app store called Speedify which does this:

But I would prefer to do it myself if possible. I checked on the net and some suggest to edit the 'ConnectivityServices.java' file;
however, I couldn't find yet the solution that works for sure.

Some suggest some editings in the ConnectivityServices.java file, but I couldn't find yet the solution that works for sure.

I would appreciate any help on how to achieve this.

Help i need my brothers phone unlocked he died

Just to clarify, be aware there's a difference between being able to access your brother's Google account and being able to bypass his phone's lock screen. As @Hadron already referred to, bypassing the lock screen isn't a simple task. Despite some anonymous web site comments and dubious claims that '...I know someone who just downloaded some app that can hack past any lock screen in just a few minutes..', here in the real world it's not that easy. If he used a simple password/passcode than yes, it might be possible to get past the lock screen, but otherwise just using a brute force method could take years to actually be successful. And depending the phone model and which version of Android it's running, too many consecutive failed attempts will completely lock the phone down, or do a Factory Reset, wiping his user account off of his phone. Also, depending on if he set up is phone to automatically backup and sync his phone data into his online Google account and/or other online services, there could be his personal data that is only stored in his phone. Bypassing a phone lock screen isn't as easy as what you might see in a movie or TV show. There are any number of law enforcement agencies and governments that would just use those same fictional 'hacks' if they were so readily accessible. Instead, a lot of tax dollars get spent trying to bypass lock screens on phones that different agencies obtain in efforts to find clues and evidence:

So there are a lot of variables involved to take into consideration. I'll suggest you don't waste too much time, effort, nor money into trying to 'hack' past his lock screen. Especially is he used a biometric lock (i.e. fingerprint or face recognition). If a text-based lock (i.e. password or passcode) and he might have written it down somewhere than maybe, but unlikely to happen.

Help ZTE Lever Android 5.1 Terrible Speech to Text Bug - Punctuation

Punctuation is an essential aspect of accurate speech recognition, and it's frustrating when it doesn't work correctly. Have you tried updating your device's software to the latest version? This might help address the issue as software updates often include bug fixes and improvements. Additionally, you can try using third-party speech-to-text apps from the Google Play Store as alternative options.
Dude this thread is from 2016!!!!!! So don't expect an answer.

There is no more issue with Google's keyboard any more.

Very weird game behavior

mikedt - Where do I look to make sure the proper language is set? Settings -> System -> Languages & input -> Languages is set to English (United States)


It's in the game itself. In the Classic Words, you tap on the gear icon top right, Solo Mode, word list options, with the various country flags.

Unscramble Letters I don't know for sure, I've never played that one. But it could be it's only using British English word lists.
