According to Samsung, my a32 5G doesn't have a proximity sensor. The Samsung website lists it as "Sensor,Virtual Proximity Sensing" meaning, I suppose, that the front camera is the "proximity sensor" but even so, you'd think it could figure out when it was and wasn't pressed up against the side of my head. That's an interesting question about the screen protector, though. I do have a glass screen protector on it, and the next time the screen protector breaks, I'll try to remember to check if the virtual proximity sensor works any better without it.

Virtual Proximity Sensor (VPS) uses the gyroscope, accelerometer and software to simulate you moving your phone against your ear and then turn off the screen (like in a call), instead of using hardware. Unfortunately, this also works bad with my Samsung S20FE: when I put my phone in my back pocket (even upside down): it will "butt" dial which thanks to locked screen I ended up with a whole bunch of number on the dialer only). But then again, it could be because of the "tap" feature to wake up the phone (or should I say "butt tap"?

I don't think the VPS was a great idea, but seems to work great in my Xiaomi Redmi Note 10S rather than in my Samsung S20FE. BTW, I believe it was Xiaomi the first company to incorporate VPS into their phones.

This happened to me on my Coolpad legacy,still don't have a permanent fix for it it did go away for a while at one point but now it's back don't know how I fixed it in the first place but it's really annoying

Thanks for sharing your game. Here is a link to a method to create a channel for your game here at AF. Please note that the second method mentioned is not working at present.

Welcome to Android Forums and thanks for sharing your game. Here is a link to a method to create a channel for your game here at AF. Please note that the second method mentioned is not working at present.

The unlimited original quality Google Photos storage was linked to the phone, not the SIM. I believe that the article is wrong in claiming that it's only the original Pixels retained it, but also not sure where the cut-off was (I think my Pixel 2 still had it). But a new one, no, definitely not.

Of course that means that if you want to use your old Pixel 2 XL for this purpose you must turn off Google Photos backup on any new phone, since anything uploaded from there will be using your storage (it may be worth checking whether newer ones can do free storage of reduced quality images, as I vaguely remember something like that when the removal of free original quality storage was announced).

But remember, your Pixel 2 XL won't last forever (my Pixel 2 failed catastrophically a few months after I replaced it). At some point you'll have to give up on this.

Well under that hypothesis the best bet would be to find a decent replacement battery. The tricky bit is knowing which ones are worth buying, especially with online reviews so frequently and easily gamed.

(My experience of buying replacement batteries is limited. When I've done so I've tried to find OEM batteries, but even then I once ended-up with a fake from what I'd previously found to be a reliable vendor - and that fake lacked a temperature sensor, so reported the same temperature at all times, which is a clear safety hazard with a lithium ion battery! So all I really know is that it's tricky, but I'd always assume that the old adage of "if it looks too good to be true, it probably is" will apply).

WiFi on pretty much 24/7 and data on when that's off. Private and work emails syncing all day and also running Teams for work.

Play some games but yesterday that screen time I was pretty much browsing all day

I am encountering the same "doesn't work" situation using Smart Switch. I have a new Tab S8+ and wish to transfer apps and data from "old" Tab S. Smart Switch was the recommended device. The error I get, using USB cords as directed, is the fact the screen continually shows "connect to new machine," even though I have the USB connected to both Tab S and Tab S8+.

Does anyone know if there is a special cord required for Smart Switch to properly function?

I have used dropbox on my PC, but have not tried it on my tablets. Does it work as smoothly for tablet-to-tablet as it does for PC-to-PC?

Thank

Again, "I'm loading apps not dependent on google", "I never had this issue on my previous Blackview mobiles". Why do disabled apps with disabled notifications still spam notifications and how to I silence them for good.

Google Play Services is one of the worst things around.

It is literally tied to everything on a device, and so is the most nefarious spyware in the Google arsenal.

Those messages are not coming from Google Play Services.
They are coming from any number of system apps that monitor whether or not Google Pkay Services is running.

l even have seen devices that will continuously disable the Wi-Fi if Google Play Services is disabled.
"Wi-Fi Manager requires Google Play Services to function"
Funny, because the Wi-Fi works just fine without the stupid 'Wi-Fi Manager', which obviously only exists to ensure that Google Play Services is running.

Here is my solution- use a firewall.
Leave Google Play Services running, but block internet access for it.

https://noroot-firewall.en.uptodown.com/android





Disable whatever Google crap you can, and block whatever you can't.

I block apps I have disabled as well, because that is how much I trust Google.

The firewall operates via the VPN api on Android, and only allows internet access to what you choose.

Only one app can access the VPN api at a time on a single device.
However, you can set up more than one profile on a single device, and run a separate VPN api on each.

lmfao

Chrome can be used as a webview on certain devices.

Try uninstalling updates for Chrome.

Alternatively, Android System Webview can also be used as a webview.

So perhaps uninstalling updates for Android System Webview will work.

(Webviews are what allow apps to show internet content.)

Be sure that Auto Update is off in your Google Play Store.

This cannot be emphasized enough: apps that do nothing useful but require powerful privileges for their nominal function are a perfect vector for adware and malware.

And Google is by far the largest purveyor of this sort of crap.

Google, the one that warns us against downloading apps from ANYWHERE else...
also provides the most amount of garbage, and does nothing to curb it.

In fact, they promote it.

Thank you so much. Post got rejected when I added the link first time thats why.

Check cloud storage for example. I use cloud storage for saving many work files and photo. Recently got interest in shopify quickbooks integration Once you download the app, you can enable this setting so all your Shopify Payments fees and payouts are automatically exported to QuickBooks Online.

I come from a Visual Studio background. I've built a few Android apps now, and I'm incorporating JNI into this most recent one. I've done this before on Windows and have been able to debug my JNI code with Visual Studio.

I am able to enter in to and step through my C/C++ code in the debugger that comes with Android Studio, but I am not able to view disassembly. And if my program has a bug and it crashes, it doesn't show anything in the Disassembly window except a blank screen (all white where the editor / text would normally be), and there is a current statement highlighted which is also on a blank line.

Is there some special trick to getting in to view disassembly from my C/C++ source code lines when I'm single-stepping through them? Is lldb not able to show the 64-bit ARM disassembly? Do I have to have my phone rooted for it to work? Or ... something else? I just don't know enough about this developer environment to know what I'm doing wrong. All of the searches I've done have not revealed any hints.

Thank you in advance for any help.

I have one game published on Google Apps: "Retro Tetro". And the app I'm working on now is a scientific calculator called EasyCalc. It is not released, but a beta apk is available for download on my website. If anyone's interested please ask and I'll post the link. It's still buggy, but it mostly works.

I cleared out the gunk, I just disable it for a spell, profit.

More specifically, Google can't guarantee that the UDFPS will function correctly with screen protectors they haven't tested/approved. It may still work fine (as with the Whitestone) but that's kind of up to the user to research and confirm on their own - and if you reach out to support about a UDFPS issue with a non-approved protector installed, the first thing they'll tell you to do is remove the protector.

I'm still super happy with the Whitestone protector on my P6P, but when most people ask me what protector they should buy I tell them to look at Google's approved list. That's just an easier recommendation to make, and I can make it confident that they won't have any problems using one of those approved protectors.

Click to expand...

I certainly agree with Codesplice (if anyone cares) Using an approved protector is the safest way to go. My purpose was to add another one that has worked perfectly for me. I also wanted to talk about the Whitestone because IMO, it's probably the best protector around. It is the only protector I know of that actually bonds to the underlying Corning glass screen. That bond reinforces the screen rather than just protecting it from scratches. Whichever one you choose, and I'm a strong believer in using a screen protector, you will be adding a layer of protection to your phone.

Sounds like that feature isn't in Android Go.

Go Edition is a cut down, light, feature reduced version of Android.

Have a look at Warpinator (in the play store). You'll need the PC version too (Also warpinator (Linux) or Winpinator for Windows https://winpinator.swisz.cz/ We're 100% Linux/Android, the Linux Warpinator works seamlessly with the Android App, I'd expect the Windows version to work just as well.

Out of curiosity, what checks do you plan to make to ensure that you don't end up fencing stolen phones? Because once you start talking about FRP removal there is a risk you could be used for that.

The obvious people to talk to about the tools to do this would be Samsung themselves, but I don't know whether they would help.

I don't think anything more than this needs to be said.

Thank you so much all for your help!
The manual adjustment on the earbud itself worked!
I'm not very technical minded as you can see.
Thank you very much!

Hi guys
I make a game on the topic of Zombie, hope everyone will support and help give good reviews for my game
Everyone plays the game and gives me suggestions to improve the game better and better.
Thank you very much

The game is not a zombie slashing action genre
The game is a kind of waiting and capturing the exact moment to move the character safely. Along with using support items along the way to kill zombies

Google Play Store : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.CokDokStudio.ZombieEscapeSchoolGirlRunOrDie

Also, I need this. How do you guys sort out this problem?
Regards
