Beware of this...

ocnbrze
the good thing for those living in the US:
"Are you at risk?
The BRATA Android scam first began making the rounds in Brazil in 2019. Cleafy says that the new mule accounts spreading the trojan are mostly coming from Italy, as well as Lithuania and the Netherlands. So, if you live in the US, this specific campaign probably won’t target you. That said, it’s one more scary threat that you should be aware of if you own an Android device."

edit:i am sure that at some point this scam will hit US soil, unfortunately.

Calls log manager

J
Using two mobile numbers will solve your problem. If you use one for financial products and another for real estate, you will always know the interest of the person calling you. Also, multiple apps can help you detect who is calling you, so maybe you will remind why you call this person. For example, I am using Family Orbit. I use it for checking the calling history of my child. I am aware of him, and I want to know who are the people are calling him and who is he calling. In case something happens, it will help me a lot to find my kid.

can't get APK to work

F
This is like trying to use the internet with a Windows 95 PC. The sites and programs don't support it any more and it doesn't work.
A device this old may be useful for some non-connected apps like a music player, note-taking etc. but for anything that requires online connectivity, up to date security standards and so on you'll need a newer phone with a more current version of Android and enough memory and processing power to run those apps. Really no way around it

Privacy protection password gets you in to someone's set up device and their account?
Click to expand...
Yeah, it's just what Google call the lockscreen password.
Google"s account password + login enables avoiding FRP when resetting another's device

If I were being pedantic (which is an occupational hazard in my line of work) I'd say that the Google login unlocks the phone after FRP is activated. The way to avoid FRP is to remove the account before resetting, but you need to unlock the screen to do that.
Why someone's reset and account removed device on the other thread still had a lock screen password I couldn't figure.

Yeah, that does not make a lot of sense to me...

How to change razor blades

Yeah my Dollar Shaving club, I did bought at least two years ago, has a four and six-blade cart, that you just push the button down and change that, it does the job really well. Just push the button just above the blade, be sure to line up the four silver connectors to the blade and then work on it, funny thing I pretty much end up using the push button ones forever ago, I did not grow up on straight razors either, just disposable ones. :) They do a fantastic job for me.

Apps How can I update JSON API items when a new item is added?

Thomas Thorton
Is it possible to update JSON API when new data is added to the JSON? I tried to use Handler but the problem is that when I run the application the data is duplicated and they are shown up in the recyclerView more and more times as it runs. Here is what I did:

  1. handler.postDelayed( runnable = new Runnable() {
  2. public void run() {
  3. //do your function;
  4. ReadPosts();
  5. readSaves();
  6. postsAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
  7. postsAdapterS.notifyDataSetChanged();
  8. handler.postDelayed(runnable, apiDelayed);
  9. }
  10. }, apiDelayed);

So, what I want is every time the handler refreshes to be added only the new data and not to duplicate the whole data every time it is refreshed. Is there a way to do that?

Help Transfering save data from BS5 to tablet

W
This is from offline games that have no cloud backup. I know it was possible on BS4 because I did it there, but the same method (settings, storage, explore, copy to windows then to whatever device) doesn't seem to be working with BS5 because the windows folder does not show up in the file explorer.

I tried a few backup utilities like helium backup but haven't had any luck.
