The phone has a wired interface, but I think Bluetooth is easier. It usually just connects by itself and starts playing.

BlackPlayer has the option for a wired connection to start the player as well.

This is just one more reason that I love BlackPlayer, because I have a 1970 Oldsmobile with a wired connection, and my ol'lady has a 2018 Subaru that has Bluetooth.

I created a channel for your game. Best of luck and thanks for sharing.

So what I want to do is allow an application to run in the background except when streaming audio. I am using Black Player.

Maybe I should just complain to the watch app writer. Polar Flow is the application that interferes. I have simply disabled background operation and run the watch application manually for now.

If there was a way to run Polar Flow only when their is a WiFi connection, that could also be a solution.

Something to be aware of is ExpressVPN was recently bought up by Kape Technologies (which before changing its name from Crossrider, a big website ad-injection company). As Crossrider, it previously had bought up CyberGhost and Private Internet Access.
https://restoreprivacy.com/kape-tec...svpn-cyberghost-pia-zenmate-vpn-review-sites/
So Kape, with its ad-based history, now owns three different, popular VPN services. Each VPN service is touted as remaining independent from Kape's oversight so as the saying goes, do the math and access your own beliefs on how much faith you have in corporate press releases.

That thread reminded me of the late nights when I was tweaked out using meth i actually got flash backs when I was reading about the guy who was reading all the code and and superfish attacks ...I busted a gut laughing but in all fairness maybe he was being attacked but no I do not believe when he walks into a best buy like he said just his presence crashes their computers I do not think so unless you have a pulse generator or jammer in your pocket and it would be so powerful you'd have burns in your crotch lmfao .

He wasn't.

Since I switched to wired I haven't any issues anymore.
WiFi always gave me troubles with streaming, so the key here is that Wi-Fi is always a degradation of data transfer no matter what

I created a channel for your app. Good luck!!

I wouldn't hold my breath for it to use the system dictionary.

More likely it will have its' own.

Then again, I remember that the option for both methods are available for the clipboard, so perhaps the same will be done with the dictionary as well.

I have a Vivo V5 1601 and it's android 6.0 sir... No system updates anymore so I want to root it no matter what.. I'll face whatever the consequences are and fix it on my own.. I'm a good researcher that brings me here.. Been researching how to root my phone for 3 days now..

Click to expand...

if you feel like it you can learn how to port twrp to your device:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/dev-how-to-compile-twrp-touch-recovery.1943625/#post-32965365

and the basic steps to root is to:

1. unlock the bootloader
2. gain root by either the use of SuperUser or SU....looks like it will be hard to find a link for SU as it is old tech
3. or gain root by Magisk

now you are rooted.

I am tapping on the little rectangular area that shows when it is closed. I just double tap and the clock comes up. The yellow dot shows up in the left side of that rectangle.
I'd love to take a screenshot of it to show you. How do I do a screen shot with the phone closed?

Click to expand...

if you go into the advanced settings>scroll down to motions and gestures>toggle on the "palm to swipe to capture"

now you can use the side of your palm and swipe across the screen to capture a screenshot. there is no need to fumble around to find the correct buttons to push. been using this feature for years. it is very convenient.

and again this yellow dot is on a widget? or on the lockscreen? again a screenshot would really help.

Hi all,
In the last couple of hours I have this little Android-head icon (see attached picture, next to the clock) and I have no idea what that is (no bigger notification to view). It may be related but since that time I get weird uncontrolled popups in my mobile Chrome browser.

I tried to restart the phone multiple times, but this icon always returns.

Does this icon mean my phone is being controlled remotely? What can I do to neutralize it?

Thanks in advance

Click to expand...

no it does not mean that.......why do people who do not understand what they see always assume the worst????

first off you would see the screen move and respond to whoever would have been controlling the phone. and if somebody were to hack your phone to do that, their goal is to be undected so that they can steal any data they can from your phone. there would be no notification to alert you something is happening.

second in order for us to help we need to know what phone you have. it might help with identifying the icon.

and thirdly you should be able to pull down the notification bar from the top of your phone. it should tell you what the notification is. if it does not you can go into your phone's settings and under notifications it should be listed there on what it is.

Wow!
That sounds like a great deal for the money!

Good news... Singapore S21 devices have now received this BULC update.


The G99*0 Snapdragon models for China, CSC code CHC, are receiving a different update, BUL3, with the December Security patch.

Hopefully, Taiwan, (BRI), and Hong Kong, (TGY), will soon follow.

USB debugging is performed by a program called "adb", which you install on a computer. You then enable USB debugging on the phone (usually via the hidden "developer options" menu, which you unhide by tapping repeatedly on the "build number" in the software information in the system settings - but it's a long time since I ran Android 4.4 so can't guarantee it was already done there). Then if you connect the phone to a computer via a USB cable and USB debugging is enabled on the phone you can use ADB (Android Debug Bridge) to execute a range of commands on the phone.

The way you do it is by typing adb commands on the command line of your computer. So from the directory you have adb installed in (or from anywhere if you've added that directory to Windows' equivalent of the $PATH, the list of directories that the system looks in when you type a command) you would for example type:

adb devices

which should return the serial number of your phone (probably together with some messages about starting an adb daemon). If it does then adb is working, if not you should try to work out why not.

Then you can get it to list the contents of a directory by typing

adb shell ls directory

where the "directory" should be specified using a unix-like format (i.e. "/" rather than "\" between subdirectories). You need to use unix formatting for the directory path because this command is being sent to the android device, and android is based on the linux kernel. The syntax of this command is: "adb" (the program that talks to your phone) "shell" (execute linux shell command on the phone) "ls directory" (the command you want executed). "ls" is the unix command to list the contents of the specified directory - if I remember DOS correctly the equivalent in Windows would be "dir".

So for example to see the top level of the file system (if it will let you) type

adb shell ls /

or the user-accessible part of the internal storage by typing

adb shell ls /sdcard

or equivalently

adb shell ls /storage/emulated/0

So just put in the path to the directory you want to list the contents of.

Then if I wanted to write the output to a file, rather than just list it on the screen, I would type

adb shell ls directory > myfile.txt

where the ">" is unix shell for "output to the file named here". That's the bit I don't know the Windows equivalent for, but I assume that it exists.

That won't wipe out everything, will it? I've got a lot of stuff I don't want to lose on there. If it works, how do I prevent it from going into fastboot again? There should be some kind of idiotproof (ahem) lock on these things.

Click to expand...

its cache which is where temp files go.....no important data will ever be stored there. the only way to lose data is if you wipe data or factory reset the device.

here is some info on cache:

Have you tried using lower resolution videos?

Using videos for such a thing will eat a battery charge up quick.

The higher the resolution, the more useage.

Also, do the videos need to be in .gif format so that they repeat?

I think there would also be a limit as for how long a video may be for this.

You can try this app to reduce the resolution and/or edit the length of the video.

Here is an app to change formats.

Thanks very much for your help. Battery is not an issue for me when using this app. The issue is solely it's poor performance. As for format, it accepts multiple formats but I'll do some conversions and shrinkages to see if the issue persists.

Looks like a browser notification on a Samsung.

The title of this thread gave me hope, but nobody has actually recommended a suitable tutorial. Is there one anywhere?
