Hello,

just released my app QR & Barcode Scanner. Hope you will like it.

Google Play link: QR & Barcode Scanner - Apps on Google Play



This app allows you to scan and generate all common QR codes and barcode formats.

First of all, Switch off your device and wait some time.
Now press and hold the Volume + and Power button.
Next, release all buttons when you see a Logo.

There isn't. Not unless perhaps you had a suitably customized custom ROM made for your Samsung.

I am so done with boost. Been a loyal customer for almost 25 years. They do not care about me or making me happy. Soon as I have time. I am switching. The way it's run now they will be losing a lot of loyal customers. I'm DONE!

My Galaxy A14 5G only has setting for 'wifi calling'. Nothing for HD Voice or switching from 5G to LTE to older networks. I think it's all automatic now. the last smartphone I know that had the setting was my Galaxy S5, where under settings-->connections-->mobile networks it had a toggle for 'Advanced Calling' which was VoLTE compatibility, but that was 2014.

In the U.S., you can still put an active SIM into something that's at least 4G LTE like a Galaxy SII Skyrocket, LG Lucid 3, or LG G2 and you can still do SMS/MMS, data, email, but phone calls fail (they just sit there 'dialing...' until they give up)

For a more Windows-style consistency, there are Android apps for Outlook, Office, Microsoft Edge, OneNote, and many others.

Hi All,

I want to take screenshots of my Android smartphone screen(not only screenshot of my app but whole screen) locally in background (without a second smartphone, PC , Wifi or USB connection) in my application via Python, but unfortunately I could not find a proper way to do it. I tried following methods but none of them is the right way in my case:

Android Screen Buffer: I guess this is used for screenshot, but I could not achieve to install it. I get following error:
The conflict is caused by: ash 0.3, 0.2 and 0.1 depends on opencv-python==4.1.2.30
but this version does not support any arm base platform. So I cannot install it. Moreover it has also dependencies with ADB tool,
so it looks like wifi or serial connection required.

ADB(Android Debug Bridge Tool): It requires either USB Cable or Wifi connection. The problem is that I do not want that my app users
requires necessary the same Wifi connection(I know internet connection not required but they need to be somewhere around a modem) to be able to use my app.

LADB: This requires also USB Cable or Wifi connection

scrcpy: It has also ADB dependencies. I get no devices/emulators found if I do not start any server from a PC.

Note: I want to implement it necessarily via Python with the reason that the implementation is already done for Windows and MacOS via Cross Platform Python. But if it is impossible with Python is there any other way? if it is so, then which language and library would you recommend? I found some examples via Java but all of them were screen capturing the window within the application not whole smartphone screen.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Environment: Android 11
Prog Language: Python 3.7
Smartphone:Samsung Galaxy A8

Hello, if anyone downloaded-played, or just came to see, please sign off!
I'm waiting for valuable criticism or suggestions for further development and improvement of the released games.
Or have you found bugs or other bugs?

Thanks in advance!

Update CWD7 with May security patch is rolling out! My U.S. Unlocked Fold 4 just got it

I assume you have no warranty?
Have you tried disabling the camera app altogether and seeing what happens?
Other than that, yeah it's a hardware issue that needs to be fixed, as stated.

Buenos Dias!!!

I go some progress, with Nova Launcher Prime, XLocker (had to sideload that one, as stupid Play Store hid it from me), Jellybean HD Icon pack and Galaxy S4 Icon Pack (again, Play Store blocking me from seeing them, not even listing them, had to sideload APKs. Any wonder why I hate app stores?)

Also got the SIII lockscreen for Xlocker (another APK sideload) and Sense V2 Weather Widget (which Play Store did let me get) and AOSP Music+ (also Play Store cooperated with), Gallery ICS (listed on Play Store, why is it hiding some things that are definitely compatible from me though like Xlocker?)

Wasn't able to get the modded S-Memo APK to work (funny, it did work on my Nexus 6!, but on A14 5G it just ends 'app not installed' (no answer as to why)). That APK should work as it's modded to not depend on TouchWiz. Oh well, maybe Samsung Notes interferes with it? A shame as it'd have the UI.

Found some scaled updated versions of TouchWiz Wallpapers and some widgets, so I'm getting there. Wish I could find a third-party lockscreen similar to XLocker that imitated the original AOSP Gingerbread one though. Keyboard from Android 2.3 APK also works. Looks nice so far. I can't upload pics though since stupid Type-C won't cooperate with Windows 7. Windows just thinks its a camera and all of DCIM is empty (doesn't show screenshots subfolder).

Can't fix some issues. One UI 5 blocks third-party apps like some File Explorers from allowing user to pick notification sounds from sites like Zedge, but ringtones work. Can't find an app that allows a custom charging sound (so I can use the naturey TouchWiz charging cable connected sound vs. the more spacey one that One UI uses). The only app that does was an old Cheetah Mobile app that I refuse to risk using.

So I cannot use the Whistle sound for my texts, or replace the charging sound, or add in the 'bwop bwop' touch sound. There used to be a launcher called Galaxy Launcher (which was a modded Nova that resembled the Galaxy S4 out the gate) that did at least have that touch sound for the home screen (but not inside apps) but it's been hidden from access from the Play Store like the above, and isn't available via F-Droid or Aptoide or a search of APKs. Sadly didn't back that one up. Paid for the damn thing too.

Had to sideload Aldiko Classic as even it was hidden from me on Play Store. Starting to really hate you Google.

At least I'm making some progress. I'd like to find older usable (for the retro UI) texting app, email app but Handcent's old versions (which looked like iOS 6) seem to read texts fine, but won't send (they just vanish into the ether). Learned that from the Nexus 6 and used Assistant to work around sending them, but since it has issues with longer texts, and certain words (it cannot dictate words such as 'doe' 'deer' or Farscape curses such as 'Frell' or 'Fahrbot') so it wouldn't have been a 100% solution. I don't know of any third-party Android 2.3 email apps, and the AOSP APK fails to install like S-Memo.

I am with Augie, @jack58 you should ease it off, since the next time you fall, you might not even get up.

And if the app name isn't clear when he pulls it down, try pressing and holding on the notification (after pulling down) - that's the equivalent of a "right mouse click" on Android and often brings up extra information or options.

There is no notification for that, just pinned it and the other thing, but nothing like that at all, steiny180...

Does Newpipe work on Android 5 Lollipop (what OP is using?)

They are saying that they are "dumb as a rock" (see their username).

@IMdumbasarock55 your camera options won't be the same because that post was back in 2012 and so your camera app won't be the same. Manufacturers tend to use their own camera apps, so what settings or options it has will depend on what phone you have (which we don't know). But I would look for anything in the settings or controls that selects "effects" or "filters". My Samsung has nothing in the camera app's settings, but the camera user interface has a "magic wand" icon that allows you to choose filters (which include a few black-and-white or greyscale options). So if nothing is obvious, maybe try touching some of the icons and seeing what they do!

An older Pixel might do what you want, though some phones sold through service providers may have locked bootloaders so you'd still need to check that.

I'd buy a bit newer than an original or a 2 though, if you can find it at a sensible price. The batteries on those will be shot by now, which will limit what you can do - my Pixel 2's battery died in late 2021, and when I tried to charge it a few months later to play with it the battery immediately swelled-up and popped the display out.

But what's the relevance of travelling to Europe and unlocking the bootloader? Your Pixel 7 will work fine over here, and as already said if you want to use a European SIM in it then a bootloader lock is irrelevant, it's a service provider lock ("SIM lock") you need to avoid (and you really do need to avoid it with a second-hand phone, because the carrier may well refuse to provide the unlock code to you because you aren't the customer who bought the phone from them).

Hi all.
Can I setup a mobile data limit and restrict any unauthorized changes with a password, similar to the old Datally app?
Thanks!

Click to expand...

Yes, you can set your data limit and restrict unauthorized changes.

• To Set the limit open the settings of your phone.
• Go to Network and Internet.
• Tap on Data Usage and Turn on the "Set data limit" button.
• Now Set the Data Limit you want.

To restrict any unauthorized changes: Go to "Set data limit," > "Limit on this device." Now Set your Password to restrict any changes to the data. limit.

Ok, I figured out how. For the benefit of posterity, here is the way. Long press/press and hold an icon. When it gets jiggly, look for the little menu with the remove trash can. Press that and icon begone without having to chase it all over the screen. I now have only the camera one.

You don't actually need to make this into such a major problem for yourself. You have the option to manage your own personal calendar and there is no reason to include other, externally-sourced calendars when you find their content unnecessary. Stop trying to force something to work that isn't doable, you're just frustrating yourself for no practical reason. (To do what you keep trying to do requires you to become a skilled programmer/developer, and for you to root your phone. Then you need to peruse through the appropriate cal directory buried within the system file structure and edit just the specific .ical/.ics file in question.)
Instead, just go into your Calendar app's Settings menu and disable all the other calendars you don't want leaving just your own. Now edit which holidays and events you want shown, and set each one up to automatically show up yearly (... or monthly or whatever). You also have the ability to set up how often their Notifications get shown.

Try going to your phone's Apps menu and tap on the Google app itself to open it. In the upper menubar tap on your user account pic and then in the resulting page tap on Your data in Search. The should be an array of options and settings, including Web & App Activity, that relate to that Search Bar widget.

Thank you, Augie! I've turned off the SMS messaging for Google, Google Play Services, and Phone just like the guy who created the post. I also sent STOP to 7723. I'll check in a couple of days and see if that has worked. If it does, I'll turn the three apps back on, one every few days, until the messages start sending again to figure out which of them is the culprit. I'll post back here when I've figured it out.

Hello, developers.
I am a student wanting to create an app which will run as a non-root firewall (netguard) and then route to one's choice VPN provider (openVPN). I haven't been able to try, yet, as the teachers want me to find out why nobody has done it yet before getting it started on how we think we would do it.
I have heard that the main issue with doing this is IP tables will take long to do, and thus isn't worth it.
Is this accurate and if so, why would this be the issue stopping me?

I imagine that this would work, if i were able to just do both of the previously mentioned app functions on one app,

Click to expand...

I have successfully incorporated a VPN along with a non-root firewall on Android systems. There is only one catch. You must use 2 Android devices. I don't know about anyone else but I'm a collector of devices. I currently use 2 tablets 4 Android phones. Only 1 my Galaxy A52 having service. I use Proton VPN and no-root firewall.

My setup is as follows. One Android device Running Android 11 is used as a bridge. I have installed PDA Net on it. This allows me to share my home WiFi over the same channel. This device runs the ProtonVPN free service out of the Netherlands Netherlands. Note that the free service only allows 1 active user.

My other devices run No-root firewall with their own set of specific rules. When they connect to the Android hotspot, they tunnel out through the VPN connection like regular traffic.

Along with the Brave web browser and the GPS Emulator emulator simulating travel routes, my true location and information is secure.

I hope this helps anyone that reads this.

I don't want to be told what to wear, what to eat, what to think, what to buy, and who to be. The internet is continuing to control the populations across the world. I can never disappear from the net, but I can at least make what data it has on me obsolete. This time around the Kool aid will be delivered same day shipping..
