Does the S8 even allow you to format an SD card as internal? I didn't think Samsung included that option in their flagships.

Has it really been moved to the removable card, as opposed to moving to /sdcard (which is actually internal storage - a confusing botch to allow badly-coded old apps to run, and one of Google's great mistakes)?

"Miscellaneous data" isn't a folder. What it is is that your phone tells you your storage usage in a small number of categories, and calls everything else "miscellaneous".

I suggest looking at your apps and sorting by size (many, but not all, versions of Android allow you to do this in Settings > Apps, otherwise you can do it in the Play Store > Installed apps list). This will show you which apps are using the most storage. You may find browsers, social media apps amongst the big users. Select those apps in Settings > Apps and click on the "storage" information, and you'll have the option to clear their caches (which are just temporary files) or their data (so with care, as that will remove all of your settings, preferences, history, messages, etc for that app). My guess, from the way this has filled up, is that it's caches that are your problem - by their nature these will fill constantly.

Not recommended, and the OP is getting NPE because mChronometer variable was never initialised, as onCreate() method hasn't been called.

We are working with Audio codec interface with Hikey960 . We are facing some issue while we run i2s read and write operation. We are using tinyplay for testing i2s read and write operation .

Issue is that when we run the command tinyplay sine1hz.wav -d 1 on hikey960
It prints following details.

Playing sample: 2 ch, 48000 hz, 16 bit 1920000 bytes

But after 10 seconds we are getting error message as below,

Error playing sample and the application stops .

We run the ‘strace’ command over the same function . It has been noticed
at line 581: mmap failure.
at line 591: IOCTL Failure.

Is it related to any kernel version issue ? Any body have idea on this.
Is there any other method for testing i2s read and write operation from audio codec ?
Can any body help me to fix this issue .

Thanks for the great article! I have TeamViewer on my Samsung Galaxy S10+ which I want to keep active so that I can remotely access that phone. However, the TeamViewer goes inactive after only a few minutes. If I touch the phone, I see that there is a yellow dot that changes to green. However, I want to be able to "wake up" the TeamViewer on the phone without being able to access it.

How can I do this? Is it related to the auto-sleeping? I tried that already? Or is there some setting I can put on TeamViewer?

Thank you!

just remember the more details you give us, the better we can help you.

what exactly are you trying to do?

i would delete the contact all together then go into settings>apps>contacts>wipe cache and then re enter the contacts info.

That's a great idea. Never thought of clearing the cache!

this explains how to use twrp. once you have a nandroid backup, you can then flash the stock rom.

Same here.

Portugal; light use in swimming pool; took 3shots under water and seconds after the camera lens got foggy due to small water drops inside... Thermal camera doesn't work correctly either...

I ruined my work mobile Trying to use my phone to what it was supposed to do ...frustrating.

Try going into the Apps menu in your Settings, find and open the Viber app entry, and in the Open by default option tap on the 'Clear Defaults' button. That should clear the Viber app from being the default phone call app. If you then launch the Phone app and there's a prompt to make it the default be sure to follow through accordingly.

Welcome to the site.

The only way to add picture to your contacts in Android 9 is:

1.Transfer all your contacts from SIM to Phone.

2.Open a contact to which you want to add picture.

3.Push “Edit”, on top of the screen, left you will get 2 choices – Phone and Sim.

4.Chose “Phone” and push the colored circle under it with camera picture.

5.From the screen that will open, chose “Gallery”, chose a picture from the “Gallery” that you want to add.

6.Resize the picture or chose “Done”.

7.Than, on the new screen that will open, chose “Save”.

YOU CAN STOP IT.
Under my aps for Galaxy J3 Game Opt. ser I clicked FORCE STOP
Scroll down to permissions and notifications and slide to the LEFT
It should do the trick, don't let it do anything. So far no adverse affects.

Needs to be noted that if you do go through the process of rooting your device, it then becomes much easier for a user to mess things up. By deleting files/folders without knowing why they exist can render an app to just fail if you're lucky, or brick your device if you're not. Typically once you delete an app's working folder it will just rebuild/restore it when starting up the app (as you've already noted.) If the app is in use while you delete its working folder, it might just fail so you just restart the app (and maybe lose any saved data in process). If you're deleting system-level directories however, that might be more hazardous. So just go into this venture knowing that wiping folders on a whim might not be what you want to do.

Yeah I know it's risky to go deep in root, that's why I'm waiting to do it. I think I'll just try something like locking SD and Internal memory so the folders don't install anymore, for DCIM maybe see an informatician for renaming the folder. And of course, saving everything and having something to begin phone to 'factory version' before doing anything.
Well I need more knowledge before doing anything.
Thank you

With the Google Photos app installed on your Android device, it will automatically back up and sync your device's photo library into your online Google account. On your Android device just be sure to go into the Settings menu of the Google Photos app and set things up the way you want (i.e. some people prefer to have backup & sync only over WiFi and not over their mobile data). If you prefer the Gallery app or some other photo manager app over the Google Photos user interface you can still use that app, leaving the Google Photos backup & sync functionality just running in the background.
(... note that if you have a really large number of photos already on your Android device and you've just installed and configured the Google Photos app the initial backup to your online Google account might take a while, dependent on the upload bandwidth of your online connection, but subsequent backups won't typically be an issue. Again, upload bandwidth is a factor.)
On your desktops/laptops you use any web browser and go to:
https://photos.google.com
to access your photo library. There are rudimentary editing tools to manipulate your photos in either the Google Photos app or using the web interface, with that 'sync' functionality working to keep your mobile device and online account photo libraries in sync with each other. (i.e. scale or lighten or whatever a photo in one will eventually result in other), plus if you accidentally or inadvertently delete a photo it gets retained in the 'Trash' for 60 days so you can restore it if necessary.

As an aside, if you're looking for something that applies to more than photos and videos (and since there's a growing number of people who just don't want to give up more of their lives to Google, an debatable sentiment for Android users), you might want to look into setting up something like Syncthing instead. It allows you to sync your data between devices and being an Open Source project it's not tied to actual or perceived corporate influences.

Intermittent connection somewhere possibly? Which would be repair or replacement required.

You're correct in saying that there are certain 'public' areas that apps are allowed to access by default. There's no specific permission to allow or deny access to photos, unless I am mistaken.

Btw if you're interested, here's a list of permissions, from a programmatic point of view. As you can see, these are more detailed than the list which is presented on the permissions page of the settings.

https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/permissions/overview

Can you see anything related to granting access to photos or downloaded files? I couldn't.

Is it possible to hide/snooze tasks that are due in the future, so I don't have to see a list of all the things I don't have to take care of right now?

It it possible to add and create new tasks in google calendar web verison, but I cannot find it in the android app.
How do I do that?
