Sorry for the late reply, but I will definitely try this sometime, though I do not know how to get on the Beta version of Magisk, do you know? Either way, thank you for the help, I did not actually know this issue of v23.0 of Magisk existing on G7 Play.

There's no hard and fast rule: it varies between manufacturer and for most manufacturers it also depends on the model (typically higher-end models getting longer support than lower-end ones). If you tell us which phone you have we can probably look it up

But frankly a 2018 phone is almost certainly already out of updates - Google devices prior to the Pixel 6 would get 3 major updates, and some recent Samsungs too, but I can't think of any other Android manufacturer (apart perhaps from niche brands like Fairphone) who offer similar support periods. And Xiaomi's Redmi phones are not noted for long or speedy software support. According to GSMArena's database the Redmi 7 (the forum we are in) received an update from Android 9 to Android 10, but that's all. But that device is also listed as a 2019 model, so I'm not sure whether it's the model you have. Either way it's really, really unlikely that you're still getting updates on that phone.

I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to Android development, and need a little guidance.

Media Files access is listed on Google Support as an invalid use case, that won't be allowed to have
MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission.

Instead, one should use the MediaStore API.
This seems to provide image metadata through MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns.

Also, it seems to me that the MediaStore API limited to files in quite specific directories, and the directory where the files are stored is not part of those metadata.

In my understanding then, this will be problematic if I want to access media files in other directories.

As an example: I store thousands of pictures taken with an SLR in custom directories on my SD card. And the underlying directory structure is related to the context in which the pictures were taken.

So my question is: Which mechanism should I use to access media files in arbitrary directories on an SD card?

I know this is an old thread, but still of interest. I was also reluctant to follow the link, and my security suite warned me that it might be a scam. I also did a bit of searching, since it seemed the forum was legit, and found one or two things that reassured me, especially this thread.

However, I wonder if some kind of compromise might work. A friendly line in the email explaining that you use mandrillap to manage membership email lists or whatever might help (I know scammers do similar things, but they're usually badly worded or in broken English). Or - does it work to go directly to this forum, as Bruno said:

I just hit delete on the email client, fire up my browser manually and go to androidforums.com where the alerts send me straight to the thread.

If so, and you don't lose out somehow with your account management, maybe just put that instruction into the email as well as an alternative. I understand it might have helped you gain members, but I'm pretty sure you must have lost quite a few, especially given the number of tech newbies who will be trying to find help on Android use.

"Samsung briefly published an update rollout schedule for One UI 4 on its Members app before abruptly taking it down. The complete list includes a monthly update plan breakdown spanning from now to July 2022. The fact that the list was later removed means that it's probably still being finalized and Samsung might change dates in the future."

Settings - Apps & notifications - Notification management,
Select that app, enable notifications as well as ring.

In addition, make sure the app isn't sleeping, and disable both data save mode and power save mode.

ocnbrze said:

this is at the bottom of the phone, correct? not at the where the notification bar actually is? are you using a custom launcher?

Click to expand...

No, this is the standard launcher. But ...
I have revealed that is the "live transcribe shortcut" I think that is a new "accessibility" feature

Tom Shawn please elaborate on how you are doing this manually?

The iPhone mini, as device, ROCKS. I do not understand why OnePlus or Sony doesn't just make an android phone of the exact same physical dims. Everything about it rocks. The squared off edges. The thickness. The overall size.

I ended up , in the end, with a Sony Xperia 5-III.

It is simply the smallest current spec android phone I could find.

It sucks.

Why?

• Because it is too darn long/tall.
• Because the rounded edges make it slippery
• It is too big for my pockets (If I put my feet up, the phone falls on the ground)
• I can't make the funny side fingerprint reader function well

But it is the best I can do right now, and I am sick of trying different phones every week. It even takes an SD card. So I now have a current spec android phone that is as small as I can find. (Of course, it lacks the 5G band my wireless carrier, AT&T, uses, so I have a brand new phone, in an area with lots of 5G towers, but do not have 5G on my phone. @#$@#)

If I could have migrated my signal database to iPhone, I would be on the iPhone mini even though I hate being an Apple slave("customer").

It is a total joke that that Android sphere can't offer something small.

Thanks for the suggestion... unfortunately the subject lines of those threads might as well be in Klingon! I can't make head or tail of any of it! I guess I'll have to make do without this app.

Have you gotten anything from Facebook on this? I'm having the same exact issue - my wife's phone shows Facebook events I created 1 hour later than what I set them to.

I want to make a caller id app which detects incoming call, searches database, if user exist and shows user in screen with dialog or by changing phone lookup. So I found 2 ways to do that. First, I created a BroadcastReceiver with incoming call intent and I showed a dialog when there is an incoming call. It worked good but sometimes my onreceive method didnt run (I tried everything to solve that but didnt solve it). So I tried to find new ways to do that and I find Content Provider. . In ContentProvider, I want to insert data from my Rest API to my Content Provider. Is it possible? When I search it I found sync adapters but I don't know what is it and I don't know can I do what I want with that. I am beginner in Android and I don't know where should I do that process. I would be glad if you could guide me.

I started from this example and I want to add on it.(https://medium.com/@jmichaelis/android-your-users-as-caller-id-d446a58d9305)

I have the same problem, unfortunately I couldn't find solution. Please help

Liquid damage can take many forms, so "familiar" isn't really the test. That certainly sounds like some connections are bad, but whether that's an assembly issue or corrosion I wouldn't try to guess without seeing the device.

I will try to get better pics. I'm going to buy the same phone and try and switch the main board over to see if this works.

yep, this is most likely caused by your router and have little to do with your phone. try @The_Chief ch's suggestions and let us know what worked for you.

i do want to add that maybe try just rebooting the router.

what are you trying to do?

Click to expand...

Make an image of the "hard drive" of the phone, so I can run a recovery program ( TestDisk ) over the image to hopefully recover some deleted pictures.

Yeh, so it can accept contactless and smart-phone payments, and I guess to remotely report stock levels and sales, price changes, any faults, incidents of vandalism, etc. There's a machine in the village, that vends condoms and other things of that ilk, I don't know how often it's used or attended to by the company, but it's got a cellular antenna on top of it.

There's also things like ATMs, ticket machines, bike and car charging kiosks, package pickup and drop-off points, that all use cellular data. Back in the day ATMs used to rely on hard-wired leased lines or POTS phone lines.

ahhhhh yes credit card payments, forgot about those.....lol

Verified the permissions allowed files & media but when i click upload or browse in my app nothing happens. I load the website on chrome and try and it works no problem. Any assistance is appreciated.

I'm not a dev of course, but I think we need to know how exactly and what methods and tools you used to convert a website into an app?? in order to provide any meaningful assistance to you.

I created a channel for you game. Good luck and thanks for sharing.
