I am trying to change apperance of android tv, but it doesn't make any sense after installation

Click to expand...

why do you need the google tv launcher to change appearances? you should be able to get apps to stream or even watch mp4 videos. no need for the launcher.

no idea. we get this question almost on a daily basis. just ask the person to look in the phone's notification to find out. but i know that is probably something you do not wish to do.


the problem is that there are millions of apps each with their own notification icon......so unless it is something like youtube or facebook, most of these questions go unanswered. we can only give guesses or you might get lucky and someone might know what they are....but do not hold your breath for an answer.

So, updated my Pixel 6 to Android 13 last night. At the dl screen, it highlights some of the new features. One of the new features is an "updated media player with album artwork and a fun playback bar." What media player are they talking about? The only one that I see that is native is Google Play Music, which has been shelved, right?

Thanks in advance.

I just started a new thread on this on the pixel 4 forum but yes you are correct a new media player is a part of android 13 ota install but the issue I ran into it does not appear within the app of either YouTube or the yt music apps I discovered that if I opened yt music app and then minimized it then a soft glow at top of phone where pulldown for quick settings is at poof there was the new player but not big and large but a smaller version could be due to my small screen size I hope this helps you some and also let me know if this is how it works for you on a pixel 6 that way if it's supposed to be within the apps then we all know it's a google thing and hopefully it will get fixed

Something that is a communication "thing" especially around these parts, is the cheap Baofeng VHF/UHF transceivers. I often see them been used.

Price is equivalent of about $20-25 USD.

Around these parts, that's what pilots use. Ultralight pilots don't have radios built into their aircraft so portable/hand held VHF transceivers are used. They also come in handy during airshows.

Late to the thread but actually you can all you need a short duration audio file and play it and count it untill it surpass your most played. That's the only way i found out to do it.

Same problem here. Samsung Galaxy Tab S2, not aware of any SD card in there. It works fine but I have the same problem and error message as the original poster.

If I received every DeWalt power drill I'm told I've won, I could open a hardware store! Setting Outlook to filter "DeWalt", however, won't work because - we all know - these clowns use numbers like "DeWa1t".

Outlook was fantastic at grabbing this stuff (no one with a cfghhgrrfy55y6556y@yahoo address actually exists)... it's just recently that it has dropped the ball.

Thanks everyone but I still cannot get it to work. I've looked at various websites that say to do this: **61*901**30# where 901 is the number I call for voice mail and 30 is the number of seconds I want to change to. But I get first the message: "MMI code started", then I get "Call forwarding. Connection problem or invalid MMI code (801)" I don't know what the (801) means unless it's an error code. Sorry to keep harping on this, but it really is driving me mad!

Do you mean verifing identity via QR code scaning?

'm currently working on a small internal application for my company. (non-commercial, just a QoL app) The plan is to connect several hard drives to one mobile device and simultaneously flash them all for backup purposes, rather than connect the drives one at a time, the plan is to connect them all at once via an on-the-go cable.

For testing purposes, I was wondering if there was a way to emulate external hard-drives on Android Studio?

(Also any tips for the creation of the idea is appreciated^^)

I suggest getting a basic Samsung phone, like one of the A series, rather than a whatever it is "Welcome" good-luck-cheapo-knock-off.

AF's foremost authority on China phones, recommends Samsung.

thank you i will fix the problem as soon as possible thanks for letting me know

Never had those problems, but I also don't use Verizon.

I have a Supcase and the other day (first time) while using the GPS it went to Dark mode said it was to hot. The issue with that was I was using satellite mode as I look to see what the surrounding area looked like, Dark mode can't see satellite mode. Very disappointed with the 6a

24 hours later and not only does it still not work, but I uninstalled, re-installed, and logged in with my password, and NOTHING WORKS NOW. I am using Android 14 but some people who reported on Downdetector are using Android 13 so it's not the 14 upgrade. What I don't know is how many of us are using Twitter over phone like Verizon/ATT/T-mobile instead of cable like Xfinity/cox/whatever.

I guess you mean android 13, as 14 won't be released until next Summer.

[UPDATE] 12.00hrs (UTC) 09SEP22

The following Z Fold4, F936B, international devices have now received the AVHH update...

Europe (except Switzerland, France, Poland)

Asia

South America (except Ecuador)

North America (non U.S.A. & Canada)

Africa

Oceania (includes Australia & New Zealand)

Even the act of plugging your phone into a PC and using it as a USB hard disk is ruined. At one time USB Mass Storage existed and made it easy. Today it relies on something called MTP which I failed at trying to make work. Windows 10 kept insisting it was a camera and wouldn't gain me access to the data other than images, and Windows XP just said 'What?! You need a driver!' so I gave up and now go back to emailing the files one at a time to myself like it was 1999 again. Thanks, Google.

It's unheard of in human culture today, but when a brand name screws me over multiple times, I simply never buy from that brand again. Now, it's avoid anything emblazoned with 'Made in China' on the back. That means any future purchases involve equipment no newer than 1972. Works for me though, I don't need new things anyway.

I not only have 5G now, but my plan is unlimited. About the only use for data though (I'm old fashioned) is YouTube Music.

Any notification can be minimized/silent though, including system notifications. Unless Xiaomi blocks access to those settings.

My home phone is a Pantech Breakout (2011) running Android 2.3. It's my favorite android version, easily hackable, rootable, and it was the last truly open Android before Play Store and the like. It won't allow a Google login but I don't use it anyway. Email works, Browser works (and third party browsers work around compatibility), phone and messages works, but lately it's running super hot and won't last longer than 3 hours on a charge. Battery stats say 'time without a signal' is 100% but it's got five bars of LTE, and 4 bars of 1x, and everything works. Same issue with the same SIM on my HTC Thunderbolt as well. Must be some kind of network issue somewhere but I can't pinpoint it. It worked fine until July sometime. Now it's acting like its searching for signal but it has signal. Cell Standby accounts for over 80% of battery use no matter the apps you use.

Nothing I use a phone for requires a Google account, or any modern apps. I use the same apps and the same things I've done with a phone I've done since 2010. My needs haven't changed. Music, email, notes, calculator, SMS messaging, phone calls, that's it. I don't need any more than that.

The only thing that has changed, and requied me to upgrade to a more modern phone (Galaxy A13 5G) happened around Covid lockdown time. I got into using a few apps (Walmart, Little Caesar's, Burger King) to get food delivered and now I just am used to using those. Those apps require Android 6+ and the battery was starting to swell (again) in my Galaxy S5 so I got an A13. Should be good for the rest of my life.

My normal policies (ADB delete Play Store, Netguard disable all updates, any apps that don't depend on internet, route all requests to Play Services to 127.0.0.1, reinstall all my Android 2.3 apps, skeuo up the UI, etc) still apply.

Thanks for your reply. Yes, the volume is turned up, and clearing the data and cache for Chrome does not work. For Edge, I had installed it for the first time and it didn't work from the off.

Because both browsers are failing to do it, I'm inclined to think it's not a browser setting but a setting in the operating system?
