Interesting. I didn't realize it was broken, but great to hear that there's a fix!

Mine works fine too, but I've read that a lot of people are having trouble. I guess we lucked out. Actually, there were many reported issues when it was first released. Google has slowly fixed them with each update. I've been very lucky with my Pixel 6 Pro. It's been the least problematic of all my phones. :thumbsupdroid:

Listen up. I'm not a doctor but I read all all the Web md and similar types and have a platinum prescription card. It means there is a hole in your heart and that's no good. Maybe 5 hours tops good luck

HERE WeGo

monophoto
I also installed Here We Go on my Amazon Fire 8 tablet, and downloaded a collection of maps. My only complaints are
  • I haven't found a way to copy the turn-by-turn navigation directions to create a savable document. There's no problem with using it for a single trip, but I haven't found a way to save multiple trips.
  • When installed on the Amazon Fire 8, the spoken guidance feature doesn't work. The app directs me to the settings to turn on the voice, but the radio button that is supposed to enable spoken directions isn't responsive.
That said, I probably won't ever actually use the Amazon Fire 8 for real-time navigation, but it is helpful for advance planning of trips.

Can anyone identify these icons

Martha Moser
KarmaHunter said:
I was referring about your icon and Tinder's icon being almost identical.
The one I upload is the exact same one.

But enough drama... it is for a calories burning calculator app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.caloriedex.android&hl=en&gl=US
and that icon means calories burned goal reached.

You are welcome :)

And how fortunate we are to have another app nobody knows anything about. I bet it's got 40 other bull s**t apps piggy backed to it.

Help Folder possible ?

I know its android, but is it possible to create a folder on the home screen where i can place my apps ?
Click to expand...
You should be able to just drag-and-drop one app icon on top of another, and that will create a folder icon on that screen that contains both app icons. You can add or delete app icons by just long-pressing on the app icon itself. This has been an integral feature that's already existing with Android going several versions so there shouldn't be a need to install a third-party launcher app.
https://www.techadvisory.org/2019/05/how-to-create-folders-for-your-android-apps/
That said, third-party launchers typically are a lot more comprehensive, add a lot more functionality, and provide a lot more customization options than a default launcher. But apparently the Lenovo Tab M10 has a 2GB of RAM version and a 4GB of RAM version. If you have the 2GB version you'll likely be better off just relying upon the existing, stock launcher for this, adding something as invasive as a third-party launcher will tax the tablet's already limited system resources. (It's not something like an app that only runs when you're using it and then goes idle, a launcher has to be continuously active in the background.)

Any way to know what App is associated with UID consuming lot of Data

I just checked my last months data usage, which was 57GB of mobile data. That was because of two weeks in Jinan Central Hospital, their WiFi sucked, and I like to watch my YouTube and TikTok in HD. :thumbsupdroid:

My Note 10.1 does YouTube and I can barely break 16GB a month doing that. I never got into TikTok and associated that with bored millennials who need dopamine hits all day.

How To Download

J
I don't regret having and using this Commando for the short time from now until the end of the year that it will at least basically work as a phone until then. It helps me decide what I want in my next phone that will be a smartphone. The problem is now that at least one feature is not available. An easily replaceable battery which I can probably live with. Another is charging. I like the idea of a charging dock or wireless. I looked countless times at the Verizon upgrade phones and the only one I may consider is the Palm one. It seems like the reviews are ok. I prefer buying a phone outright vs monthly payments. Even a used one. I like the smaller size phones without all the bells and whistles. Any suggestions?

just broke the display screen of my s20 ultra and fixed it. wondering if I should go with screen protectors or tempered glass.

If the crack is on your S20 display, the only way to fix it is, unfortunately, to broken screen. Regardless of how large of a crack your screen has or where the crack occurred, the entire display will need to be bootzine replaced by an experienced repair technician or Samsung Support.

Apps Wear OS battery optimization

L
Hello,


I'm developping a tracking application that runs on Wear OS watches. I have some troubles when the watch goes to sleep. As soon as the watch goes to Deep Idle mode, all sensors acquisition stops. For that I'll need to whitelist the app using:

Code: 
                                Intent intent = new Intent();
                                intent.setAction(Settings.ACTION_REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS);
                                intent.setData(Uri.parse("package:" + packageName));
                                context.startActivity(intent);

This piece of code works well on mobile version but nothing happen on Wear OS version. I realized that Wear OS as no UI to set the battery optimization mode which should be the cause of the fact that nothing happens when trying to change the optimization.

I also used a wake lock to keep the CPU partially awake with:


Code: 
                PowerManager powerManager = (PowerManager) getSystemService(POWER_SERVICE);

               wakeLock = powerManager.newWakeLock(PowerManager.PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK, "MY-WAKELOCK");

But even with that the watch goes to deep sleep after about 15min ?

The last solution I see is to force the screen on or at least dimmed but it will drain the battery very fast.

Is there another solution to keep sensors working ? How can I whitelist my app on a Wear OS device as no UI seems available ? As anyone already encountered this issue?

Spooky sounds

Hadron
The only way to know for sure which sound is playing is to try selecting a tone and then try all of the options until you recognise it (they'll play as you select them). I was hoping you'd be able to say something like "it's my default notification sound/ringtone", or else "it's a tone of some sort but not one any other app uses".

The question "is there a sound baked in to the messaging software" is a bit too generic: any such thing would be baked into the specific app, not all messaging apps. I don't use Google's Messages app (has no advantages for me, since I don't use RCS "Chat", and very poor customisation), but I've never heard of it having some unchangeable notification sound (my wife uses it and uses her own choice of notification).

However, to get notifications only from your contacts you probably will have to use Do Not Disturb settings (unless MacroDroid can do this). Notifications from contacts only is an option in Do Not Disturb, but there's nothing like that in Messages' settings.
