I could be some app you've installed doing it, and AF has had reports of this before.

I know the DiDi car hailing app can show its own lock-screen, but only when it's actually in use with a ride booking in progress.

@mikedt I have edited the original post with the screenshot of the padlock icon in question

Put your device IMEI in and switch if it works for you.

I would always use a computer. Indeed I'm not sure there are any methods for a semi-modern phone that can be done without one. Magisk is probably the main tool for most phones these days, though I'm no longer following closely. It's complicated because this isn't a simple business, and because the instructions include options for different phones (so once you know which options apply to you it becomes simpler).

SDK Tools is how you will find Fastboot and ADB (Android Debug Bridge, used for USB debugging commands) if you use Windows - on other platforms these are available as standalone binaries (possibly for Windows too, but I don't use that. I have however seen instructions for obtaining these that tell you to install SDK tools for Windows).

Weird link: your graphic talks about backing up files, which is nothing to do with the content.

Anyway, I don't think anyone will be able to say much on the basis of what you've told us: that your internet is slow and that you are using BT. That's very little to go on. Does it affect all devices or just one? What do you mean by "quite slow" and how does it compare with whatever package you have? Have you used BT's tools to check your connection speed? This is now in the "My BT" app, and will tell you the speed to your hub as well as from the hub to the device. What sort of connection do you have (if it uses the copper wires you may suffer slowdowns when too many people are using them, fibre to the premises should be more reliable for that)? The more information you can give the more chance someone will be able to help.

Nevermind. It was an unrelated app that was alarming for something else. It just happened to begin alarming at the wrong time and gave no other indication where it was coming from.

Since I was upgraded to "Coolwalk", the task switcher bar is unresponsive to touch input most of the time, and I can only swap between apps using the voice assistant when it occurs.

This happens in wired or wireless modes. Car and all phone software is updated.

Everything was fine before the Coolwalk update.

Has anyone else experienced this?

My wife just got a letter from a major retailer she was working for in 2021. They sent her revised 2021 W2 Tax forms, noted they made a mistake and told her to take this to a Tax consultant?

Oh really? Who pays for this?

That's pretty much a blow below the belt! I'm sorry. Being self employed all of my life it was always a major financial burden to keep current with the IRS. There were even a couple of years that I so grossly under estimated my income that I owed more than I could pay. I found the IRS easy to work with. All they want is all of your money. I paid penalty and interest one year until I was even steven with them. They don't care... as long as they can gouge you until you bleed. An incorrect W2 from an employer seems a crime. Unless it is glaringly wrong when you receive it, why would you question its validity? By no fault of your own, you now have a tax obligation that is two years in your past. That is BS! I guess there is always a chance they owe you vs you owing them.... FAT CHANCE! Sorry... truly sorry.

Have you rebooted your phone? to see if that corrects it

Oddly enough, I did try rebooting without effect. I tried it again, and now the status bar has reappeared, so thanks!!

Trying to figure out what the app notification is that has a heart inside of a circle that has two different spaces on it.View attachment 166384

It's Samsung Digital Wellbeing.

I think the circle with spaces is meant to represent the hands of a clock, and the heart is for fitness. It's NOT a dating app.

Hello, I'm doing a simple app that uses WiFi Aware and its publish/subscribe mechanisms. However, while I was trying to test it on Android Studio, I would always get the boolean false with this line of code:
boolean hasWiFiAware = getPackageManager().hasSystemFeature(PackageManager.FEATURE_WIFI_AWARE);

This would mean that the device (the emulator in my case) doesn't support the feature of WiFi Aware. I tried a lot of different APIs in the Emulator and couldn't seem to get it to work (return true and allow me to use the feature).

Did anyone already work with WiFi Aware? And specially developed an app in Android Studio? If so, have you used Android Studio Emulator to test the App or a physical device? Does it even exist the possibility to use such feature in the emulator?

Use case :
Pre-cond : Connect USB headset to Android 12 based device
1.) Initiate what's up audio call **Result **: 2way audio is fine
2.) Initiate/Receive audio call **Result **: 1way audio is present (Output : Audio via USB MIC , Input : NONE )
Log snippets (after disconnecting 1st whats up audio call) :

2way audio should be established in USB headset during audio call.

Oh that’s one of the top features I’m looking for! I’m currently looking at the Samsung galaxy watch4 - do you by any chance have any insight into how it is?

From experience when I've been in the UK, live bus timetable and schedule apps are specific to the company running the service where you are, e.g. If it's First Bus, then install and use the First Bus app, for TfL in London use the TfL app, etc.

Does the DOS command "dir" show that the executable "payload-dumper-go.exe" exists in the current directory along with the payload.bin file?

Rebooting the phone didn't help?

No, but I think I got it working finally, Thanks for the reply!!

Well, you've got forums on the interwebs with ties to Facebook, which I would stay away from, or you'll find forums out there that are totally unbiased....
Have you tried Google?

The call is made via phone, but the phone is paired with the radio via bluetooth.
So, I'm talking to the radio's microphone and I listen to the sound from the radio's speakers.

Is there any way to migrate native app which have Room database to Flutter App with own database without loss the existing data?
I have large number of user so i can't export the database and import into app directory.
