Update: Things got worst (cell wouldn't start anymore - it was going into an infinite loop at the startup) so luckily, I was under a year of the purchase and returned it to the manufacturer. Got a new one - work fine now. Good luck to you out there !

Well, if you're dumb like I was (when responding to the text) you probably dialed the number up top. For me it got me to a Indian 'tech support' scammer call center. Should have pulled a Kitboga on them.

They got a way of talking that makes it obvious. For example they pronounce 'virus' as 'wirus' and 'Windows' as Vindows' Also they love using odd phrasing such as 'each and everything' and 'why are you using your mind?'

I've never had any call center with any Hispanic speakers. All of them Indians.

Solved. Iphones need the ** at the start. Omit one * for android.

just remember, the more details you give us the better we can help.

Sorry for the late reply.
Answer to your question:

I'm given the task of developing a feature for an Android app which is to print text in receipt format (sales invoice, quotation etc.) in native languages.

Since most general printers doesn't support character sets for native languages like South Asian languages such as Indian languages, which is my requirement. The hack is to convert the native language text to an image and send it to the printer SDK.

I've tried creating a bitmap by drawing the text on a canvas object and passing the bitmap to the printer SDK but the tedious task is to create the entire receipt format by drawing on the canvas providing the x and y coordinates.

The next solution I tried is to inflate an XML layout according to the receipt format and set the data to the corresponding views, convert the root view to a bitmap and pass it to the printer SDK. This solution is working, but my problem is I'm trying to integrate this solution without creating an extra layout or activity in the app.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

The app uses the following SDK for printing text in English from the app (working feature)

What happened with your phone? Did you ever figure out what it was? Telling what happened could help someone else with similar problems.

The only way I know of is to use an LTE Apple Watch (you need an iPhone to do initial setup) and once setup is done, just use it standalone. Enjoy the horrible battery life and limited features though because even in standalone it has less than half functionality as one that's connected to an iPhone.

From experience, apps like Apple Pay, some parts of Health (notifications), Maps, system updates, digital touch won't work in standalone, or break after some time. (Apple Pay will work for x times then want to sync with an iPhone/Wallet app).

SMS, iMessage, Music, Phone, Fall Detection (SOS), Siri, HomeKit support, watch (obviously) setting Alarms, calculator, and others do work in standalone though. But battery life will be 1/3 what it normally is since the LTE radio uses a ton of it when always active.

An Apple watch is basically a flip phone in watch form in LTE only mode. As you already got a flip phone do you really need two?

I'm posting this response on a 2012 Toshiba laptop running a 2013 distro of Linux. I've also recently come across a Wii-U (was very interested in that--beautiful skeuo UI, and everyone else is on a Switch, while I'm protesting via the Wii-U) as well as an old Apple TV 2 (2010) and some old RCA Streaming box that I'm unsure the year but given how Netflix's UI is on it (works fine) I'm guessing anywhere from 2010-2013? It's got the old red UI before the black one with the annoying auto play videos. Kinda reminds me of the version that was on the original Wii console. I can't find much info on it-It runs some type of limited OS; no app store, and a handful of apps from Netflix, AccuWeather, Flickr, Picasa (never tried those), YouTube (doesn't work), Hulu Plus (no longer have account), and Vudu.

I literally found that one in the garbage. Kinda shameful that people toss out something that still works fine!

How to donate your Flickr images to Crowdsource? When I go to Crowdsource to help Image Label Verification, there's a name of the user the picture is from and it shows their Flickr profile.

Do you know what action it is? Is it trying to open some type of file, for example?

Click to expand...

It's trying to open Reddit, it didn't want to open it usually but now it opens it. But still shows that bar down tjere

Thank you all!

If your app is free, try something like APKMirror or APKPure.
However, if it is a paid app, maybe only the Google Play Store is more suitable.

It's so amazing

Thanks for the info!

FYI looks like the same apparent issue is documented here as well...
https://www.sammobile.com/news/galaxy-z-flip-3-z-fold-3-one-ui-4-0-audio-bug/

Maybe grounds for a class action lawsuit? Good luck!

FWIW I have a Note20 Ultra myself, and the audio on that is OK for phone speakers. If I want to listen to things in HiFi, I use proper speakers or headphones.

well on my z fold 3, the audio has been pretty good......especially when i play games........no complaints from me.

How does separate app sound in sound assistant work? When u tap on the Bluetooth icon for one device it sometimes works as it should, and switches media from that app to BT speaker and leaves others to play on the phone. But now, most of the time it takes both app sounds to BT device or to device sound, it doesn't separate it.

When I go to Google - settings for Google apps - connected apps - connected apps don't show up there as they use to.

@JohnJSal

I have the same ptoblem. I loaded Google play store (and its supporting APKs) and can install apps from the Play Store. Gmail works fine with my Google account. Contacts says there are no contacts (there are actually hundreds).

I had the same SMS permission error, so I checked and the SMS permission was set. I removed it, rebooted, and then set it again. The error has gone away but the contacts still do not sync.

The contacts sync fine on my Android phone but not on the Fire HD tablet.

I would appreciate any advice on how to get contacts to sync!

this is one of the best apps about grammar. 5 stars from me, thanks. I am always using it while writing my articles. Together with the duplicate content checker from here https://studyhippo.com/duplicate-content-checker/ I am able to create some really great articles. Honestly, I am surprised that some apps can boost the quality of the text so much.

Yeah, was trying to avoid that lol but I'm thinking it's my only option. Thanks so much for your time, I'll update here tomorrow after I've tried that.

The same question only I did not uninstall the program on Win 10. Saved dictations are gone now

Well Total Call Recorder doesn't work either. Stupid Google. I'm in the UK and there is no law against me recording calls, why are they doing this?

"As an individual you are able to record phone calls. There are currently no UK laws prohibiting actually recording the call – just what you do with the information when you have captured it. The only time call recording becomes illegal is if you hand over the information to a third party without the customer who has been recorded’s consent. You also need to be mindful of how secure the connection is if there is going to be sensitive information discussed."

Some providers have different APNs for MMS and for other mobile data, though I know nothing about this particular carrier.

Click to expand...

So are u saying that the phone might need 2 different APNs, 1 for internet and 1 for MMS? If so, I haven't found any other information about Page Plus using that type of setup. I also haven't found any APNs that work w/ MMS.
