Because my battery is holdinv pretty good until about a week ago. At evening i put it to charge and in the morning i almost always get from device care the message that some apps were closed and i get this com.android.chromerivileged_process4. Also if i close all apps including chrome doesnt make any change, battery still going down pretty fast, by fast i mean like about 8 hours not using my phone. But before was easily holding all day long using the phone.

well "com.android.chrome" is your chrome browser and "priveleged process4" has to do with your permissions. you might want to clear or change permissions for the chrome browser and see if that helps:

if that does not help, you can do a few things.
1. reboot your phone
2. put your phone in safe mode. this prevents any 3rd party apps from running.
3. factory reset your phone

if those do not work, then like i said your battery is probably on its way out, so maybe now is the time to start looking for a new phone.

Well, I just bought a refurbished one for pretty cheap compared to the original price when it came out.

Should be getting it next Wednesday.

A bit late to this party but this issue still appears unresolved in 2022, I saved an image ib bluemail got the confirmation of file saved but it simply can not be found. Desppite severral attempts with file managers Total Commander and Amaze file explorer no trace can be seen of the saved image.

Suggestions welcome

Thanks for the links.

To enter data, in Android, I'll just copy a whole text from my Windows computer (through the web or by coping the TXT file into Android), paste it, and encrypt it in one go. I don't need more than that.

There are tons of "notepad safe" apps, and as usual, it takes forever to find a good one.

Ideally, open-source.

Edit: Safe Notes looks like what I had in mind. I don't like its "slot" thingie at the bottom, and would rather have all notes in a list, where a note could simply be tagged in case I need to filter.

Edit: For others' benefit. I tried a bunch of them, and the closest I found of a free, no-brainer, no-thrill app is "Note Crypt Safe with Password".

I created a channel for your app. Good luck and thanks for sharing.

Could be your launcher, I know on ADW there is an option to turn off the status bar, that shows you the battery percentage, wifi and blu tooth status about it, I will turn it off again, besides with 12, there is no need for me to look up at it ^ _ ^

Have you built such a PowerApps app already?
But the feature of creating standalone, native mobile apps with Power Apps will be generally available in Jun 2022.
So it looks like you have to wait a month before you can convert your PowerApps app to a native Android app.

That's worth looking into. Typically, I'd forgotten where the phone came from but luckily kept the emails from Tello confirming my purchase from them. I can check this with them. Might be the clue THEY need.

By the way, I've also added an APN as specified by Tello. I really thought that was going to do it. But n o o o o o o . . .

Did you ever figure out how to get it to work? I have the same phone model. I'm currently testing out PagePlus, which uses Verizon, and one thing I noticed is that the "VoLTE provisioned" setting starts out disabled, and if I enable it, it doesn't stay enabled past a reboot of the phone. Even with "VoLTE provisioned" turned off, I can still make calls, which I don't really have an explanation for, but I just thought I'd mention it and ask you what you ultimately did on your end.

Using MIT App Inventor I modified a Bluetooth example that connects & sends data to a remote device, all pretty straightforward. Grabbed the AIA file from the Internet, loaded it into App Inventor, made changes, built the APK, installed and ran it on my phone – no problems.

Next I downloaded & installed Android Studio, made a basic test program with some buttons & pictures, sent it to my phone over Wifi and everything worked.

Then gave a shot at loading some Bluetooth examples on Android Studio but got lost in the weeds. First tried to directly load a bunch of different APK files but couldn’t get things to work, no Bluetooth connections could be made. Next gave a shot at using GitHub, downloaded a bunch of examples but same thing, couldn’t made a connection to the remote device.

MIT App Inventor makes it easy, only a single AIA files is needed while Android Studio has a bunch of files and directories and I don’t have a clue as to how properly load example code.

How does one know what files go where and into which directories?

Thanks.

I think this has been hashed out far enough.

Java it is the official Android development language maintained by Android Studio and is the foundation for learning Kotlin.

In general, when disputes begin about which is better, Java or Kotlin, you should remember that Kotlin is a wrapper over Java. To understand the Kotlin documentation and get help with the Android mobile app development process, you need to know Java.

Since I have an s21 I just tested what the Samsung Gallery app let me do. And I agree they've not thought it through:

I selected a couple of photos and then chose the option "copy to album". I chose "create" and it gave me the option to enter a folder name, but gave no visible way of choosing where that folder would go within the filesystem. It actually create it as a subfolder of DCIM, but I had to use a different app to find it!

I was able to copy photos to a folder of my choice, but only via the same "share" trick I had to use with Google photos: select photos, choose "share", find a file browser in the options to share to (involved some side-scrolling, no clue in the UI to tell you to do that) and then use that to create and select a folder where I wanted it.

Bottom line: it's possible, but they don't make it easy. This sort of thing is why I generally use third party apps for most things rather than what the manufacturer bundles - I can usually find something that does a better job (or at least one that suits me better).

I like what you mentioned about this too, it is much more easier, screen shots and have them in a different subfolder on accident, or have them to a different folder that is visible to you, funny how my Gallery app just adds in different photographs I have snapshot and show them in my phone, but when I get super freaky and not have it all over the place, then it is a gather throughout the masses of my downloads.

Works wonderful, thanks for the recomendation puppy

I would agree, if an ad blocker dos not work; dump the app(s). I also have a Galaxy Tab 6 lite and updated a few weeks ago to Android 12; however, I have never experienced this problem. However, I view some youtube videos, and use Firefox and that's about it. My primary use of this tablet is to download movies (or series episodes) from Netflix, Amazon, etc., to watch while camping.

what calendar app are you using?

Click to expand...

I'm using Pimlical. It started out as Datebk many years ago and I've stayed with the developer ever since. I beta test it also but have never seen anything like this. I've made sure the sounds I use are in both lists. Hopefully that will stop the screw ups. The developer has the Pixel 6 Pro also and his doesn't have this issue.

Recently I went to a video on sd via Simple (?) File Manager. I don't know how but it has apparently been colonized by goohoo. I retried that and another video, only to find that the horror of their file app/cleaner had metastasized. How do I get rid of this thing and return to normal?

Click to expand...

never heard of simple file manager......sounds like it installed some crapware app cleaner which are not necessary. the only true way to delete the cleaner app is to wipe cache and data for simple file manager, and then uninstall it. it needs to be done in this order. sometimes when you uninstall and app, its cache will not uninstall with it. and sometimes those leftover cache and data could still have some kind of crapware.

i would do the same for the app cleaner....that is if its still there.

It's a spam message and you should ignore and delete it. Do not respond in any way, even to tell them to you're not interested or even to just f*** off.
Once you reply in any way, those morons will see that as a sign you're a viable target for more. Odds are they're just randomly fishing for victims so if they don't get any reactive signs hopefully they will just move on.
