S2 Tab, Ad freezing whole tablet on startup

please can you tell me how to find which order things were installed?
The link I posted sorts by most recent--if you open it in a browser. If it opens in the Play Store app, it's different.

If you're reading this in a browser, and clicking/pressing the link makes the Play app open, right-click or long-press on the link, then choose to open it in a new tab. When you go to that tab, your apps should be sorted by most recent.

Android newbie help needed!

On the repair side of things, is a DIY job possible? I successfully replaced the screen + digitiser on my Nexus 5. Don't know how feasible this is with your phone though.

I'm honestly not sure. I contemplated buying a replacement screen and giving it a go but, as said above, insurance offer to repair or replace. I'm a bit worried they might reject a claim if i play around with the screen, fail and then send it in! Then i'm left with a bricked phone and have to pay £269 to nearest repair place in London. Or risk a kiosk repair. Pain in the arse situation! Thanks for your help dude.

android permission for usb file reading

I want to access sys/usb /subsystem/ folder in android 9 but its giving access denied. before android 9 , iam able to read files from there. how to get rid of permission denied, or any permission i should ask at runtime
anything with "sys" you will not have access to it unless you root your device. system files are part of the android os and you need root access to make any changes to it. what are you trying to do?

Smartwatch

so my gear s3 i love mainly because of the bezel that rotates. it is very convenient. i also love s3 because it is one of the bigger round faces on the market. i mainly use it to show my notifications and for fitness. the fitness app is great because it also logs your gps as well as heart rate and such.

i might get the s4 if they plan on releasing one this year. i also have the lg urbane which is another cool watch as well.

Apps App design how to organize views?

I'm developing an App in which users navigate through a tree structure using a lists, so the user sees:

root 1
root 2
root 3

After selecting one of those, they are on the next level of the tree structure and they see:

You are on root 2:
level 1
level 2
level 3

Navigating the structure is fine. My issue is that I also want a detail view for each item of the structure.
So right now I'm using tabs to show subitems in one tab and a detail view of the currently selected item on another tab. If you understand what I explained, you can guess this is probably not the best approach, as it feels a bit confusing/non-intuitive that both tabs behave as a detailview, one with subitems/levels and the other as an actual detail view.

The reason for navigating the tree structure like this instead of having a list of expandable items is that each item might have quite many subitems and scrolling much is not desirable. So the tree structure navigation solves that issue but creates anoter: I cannot anymore click an item and show its detailview.

Did I brick my LG v20 H910/H915?

Not panicing!
I found https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/root-h910-v10m-t3664500 to follow.
The link there to the "dirty santa" files was no good so I got them at the site you show above then returned to the thread I started at to keep going with the process.
The hard reset process you cite fails at step 4.
Because I need a phone I bought a v20 vs995 in case I can't get this working again. If I pay round-trip postage would you care to try to resuscitate it? (At what you might charge, of course!)
sorry this is better for you to figure out. it is a way to learn how things work. plus if you are able to revive the phone, the feeling of accomplishment.....there is nothing better.

try the firmware guide i posted and see if this works or not.

Please Help me Make a Simple App

Thanks for responding guys. I guess I can use network location, really, right? It does not have to be exact, like GPS. As far as the way it would work, I do not want it to be static. I Google Maps API constantly and tell me if the store is nearby. I want it to be dynamic and work in all areas, not just for one particular store.

And, year, I am kinda into this stuff.

Help Help deleting write protected file

I'm actually grieving the death of someone very close to me and my head is just not working right.
Most of us personally understand that. I'm very sorry for your loss, and hope you're taking good care of yourself during this difficult time.
I appreciate all the efforts you all put in this and apologise for wasting your time.
No need for apologies! :) Android Forums exists to help Android users, and we're very happy to do just that. Your thanks and appreciation are a nice bonus. :D

Rooting new Samsung Galaxy S

yep if you want to know about rooting your phone or future phone, i always head over to xda. it is a developers forum where the developers from around the world hang out and publish their wares. i always will look at the device forum of my future phone. i will look for first if there is a forum for the device. next i will look to see how active it is. if you have developers supporting your device then you are good to go.

a rule of thumb for me is no devs=no fun

so follow the link dannydet provide. i would read as much as you can there. and just from reading a few threads and from what i know, Samsung makes it super hard to root their devices. you are lucky that you have the exynos chip. here in the US only the snapdragon chip is sold and their is no root for those devices. this dates back to the note 8 which is what i have right now!!!!!!!!!!!!

so read the op here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s10/development/magisk-root-galaxy-s10-series-t3918699

and here is the last post in that thread that has the instructions on how to root:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79930522&postcount=1187

but before you do anything please read, read, read, and then read some more. ask questions here if you have any as well.

and one last thing if you do root the device and install TWRP recovery.......please make a android backuo first before making any changes to your phone. a nandroid bacxkup is like a save point in a video game. it is a complete snapshot of your phone including all of its data. if something goes wrong or you do not like something you did, you can always restore back using a nandroid backup....and your phone will ne like nothing ever happened.

and one last thing......take your time. there is no rush........and don't panic
