Mysterious changes

How can I enable this feature in the end?
By the way, I also have an Oppo smartphone. I have been using it for over a year. All was good. But today my smartphone suddenly turned off and won't turn on anymore. What could be the reason? Could it be because of the battery? Or what spare-parts-mobile.com oppo spare parts do I need to order for repair?

Change video format on S21 Ultra 5G

Only the audio track for the Galaxie S21 native mp4 video format transfers to my computer. Is there an app available to convert mp4 to MOV format?

MOV? Are you using a really ancient version of Apple QuickTime or something?

Many contemporary media players should be able play MP4 from a Galaxy S21 no problems, with no need to convert anything. As @Dannydet suggested, try using VLC.

How to set onclick listener on a custom view

Good day everyone so I'm trying to set a click listener on icons like this bottom nav bar here,it's a custom nav bar I'm making using custom view,the issue is there's no way to call an onclick listener on any of the icons because they were added programmatically and not directly on the layout like buttons or text views,so I just need the logic on how I will add an onclick function or better still override it so it can work with these icons that are added programmatically to the nav bar.

What you need to earn to buy a house: CNBC

Most of my friends which bought their own houses did it only with the credit help. I guess there are not so many people able to save so much cash
You'd be surprised! Every week I receive glossy mailers from local Realtors showing pics and pricing info on houses they've recently sold, or have just listed. Almost every one of the 'sold' houses will say "all cash" sale. Here's a nearby house that sold recently, and although this one doesn't say all-cash, I'm sure it was:

recent_sale.png


The reason I say I'm sure it was all-cash is because of the type of house it is and the amount over asking they paid; it's the kind of house that routinely gets bulldozed the day after its ownership changes hands. :o Like mine would if I ever sold it. In its place will go a GIGANTIC McMansion like the one directly across the street from me, which replaced a beautiful, charming, NORMAL sized house. I watched it being bulldozed--took pictures, too. Sad....

Anyway, back to the point: there are plenty of cash buyers. Here in Arcadia, houses routinely sell for 6, 7, 10+ million dollars and they're all-cash deals. Who's buying them? People from various Asian countries. And a few celebrities. :)

Play error

If you insist upon using Google, I highly recommend that you do it via an alternative browser- preferably something that uses Android System Webview.

ASW is a built in app on all Android devices- it allows apps to show you web content.
It is by far the fastest and in my experience the best way around the web with a phone.

BTW, a phone is my ONLY way around the web.

There is a browser that I stand behind, and there are other versions with additional features floating around.

https://f-droid.org/en/packages/acr.browser.lightning/

It is small enough to be added to any device.

Try it out and see if you agree that none are faster, and you would also be hard pressed to find more secure.

Don't forget that on some devices, Chrome acts as the webview.
You should go into developers options and set Android System Webview as the default webview app.
Sometimes Chrome must be disabled in order for this to be possible.
(Makes you wonder why?!?)

Apps Help me to rescue my project.

Hi, I was developing my first App.

I have several fragments in my project.
I saved my project and to go out.

When I started my project again one of fragment "fragment1_layout.XML, was not showing the design.
The window, where the design normally appears, was empty.
The other fragments of the design are OK. I can see the layouts design fine.

Is it possible to recover from this error?
The XML file is still there.

Also the app was installed on my phone just before the I closed the project.
Can it be recovered from it?

Thank you very much.

Help frp blocked doogee mix

yeah unfortunately discussions of bypassing FRP here in this forum is frowned upon here.

and on your doogee.....what do you mean iit has no display? like the screen is broke? and how do you know accessibility is turned on? and does your uncle know the google email? if so, you can do a forget passoword and then change it. wait 24 hours afterwards to see if that password will unlock FRP.

tbh i would recommend that you take these 3 phones and just recycle them. Best Buy will take them off of your hands for you. if you need a phone, just buy one of those pay as you go phones....or a burner phone.

edit:maybe this will help:
https://www.androidcentral.com/what-do-if-youre-locked-out-your-phone-after-resetting-it
I already unlocked it, thanks :), it was hard because the screen, but it run games so well (using a screen mirror app on pc) 4gb of ram 64gb of storage, my cousin paid 2000 brazilian real on it, and here a phone with this hardware is expensive, but I am very happy that now is working.
Now I will try to fix the alcatel a5 that my cousin give me too, it think it's water damaged

Help Samsung galaxy core plus duos bricked

That is of course your prerogative but as much as you want to deny and/or ignore what @Dannydet posted, this is an eight-year old phone with very limited value as a daily usage phone. Google stopped supporting it years ago, as did almost all independent developers so the OS is way out of date along with the apps that are on it. Interactions with current online technology will be limited when they do work, with increased privacy and security risks. The odds are the battery is dead so using it probably involves having to have it plugged in all the time or unplugged for a few minutes at a time.
So all the time and resources you want to devote into restoring this phone just to watch it being able to boot up normally again is worth it if only for the learning experience on your end, but do you actually have plans for this phone otherwise?
I discovered that it is hard bricked, because it is freezing when try to flash.
I was trying to fix it because my 5 years old cousin like to play minecraft even if is a old version, but I have only a android 4.0.4 tablet, and it work but it has only 512mb of RAM.
and looking at the layout and the icons give me such a nostalgia .-.

Apps Cannot use Kotlin object pinnig to pass a buffer to a C function

I am working on an app, and I need to pass a buffer of audio data from kotlin to a C function. The prototype of the C function is :
Code:
DECL(void, fftBuildAudioData, const jshort* const recordedAudio)

(DECL is a macro to declare the good prototype and name function to match JNI specifictions)

I saw in the Kotlin web page that kotlin is abble to pass pointer to C code with object pinning So I tried to write this code on my kotlin file :

Code:
private var recordedAudioData = ShortArray(4096)

//Reading data from an audio record instance

recordedAudioData.usePinned { pinned -> {

Native.fftBuildAudioData(pinned.addressOf(0))

}
}

But when I compile I have this error :
Code:
 Unresolved reference: usePinned

I know I can use the env function GetShortArrayElements but the function may involve a copy of the initial array and I don't want that so I cannot use it.

My question is: how can I pass a Kotlin ShortArray as a pointer to a native c function if the way provided by the language doesn't work (I use Android Studio v2020.3.1 Patch 2)?

How can I free up storage on my S8?

What happens when you try to move files?

You say that you cannot, but we need to know exactly what you have tried and what app(s) you are using.

Generally, stock apps basically blow chunks- so it may be that if these are what you are using they are full of excess crap.
Plus, the device is pretty old.
Your best bet at this point is to probably ditch as many stock apps as you can and disable them, clearing their data as you do so.

Replace them with
https://www.simplemobiletools.com/
to make it easier to manage the device.

At the very least, start out with the Simple Gallery Pro

https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.simplemobiletools.gallery.pro/

and the Simple File Manager Pro

https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.simplemobiletools.filemanager.pro/

The device is close to five years old now, so it might be fine for an auxillary unit to use at home, or for other non-crucial use.

It will work fine on just Wi-Fi if need be.
Thanks for the information. I will try to apply it. Thank you again!

Additional App Repositories For F-Droid

As I am sure some here may have noticed, I will get an app from F-Droid before any other appstore.

And as I have a tendency to post large amounts of links to apps there, it has sometimes been an issue when the app link is from a repository not on the F-Droid site or included automatically with the app.

So tonight I thought I might try to remedy some of this by posting some more links, lol.

First, for the official F-Droid app itself, and then for some additional app repositories to be added to that app to increase the amount of apps available.

Which Mobile CPU Snapdragon or Exynos GPU gives good performance bechmark compared

The camera's processing is what it is, unless you output raw and process it yourself (which some camera apps allow, some don't, but it's a much slower workflow so wouldn't be my first choice with a phone). But I'm not even thinking about quality of interpolation: handling of noise, tone, saturation, contrast, not over-sharpening, these things matter more for the image than simple pixel count. All phones use small sensors and are increasingly reliant on computational photography techniques, such as taking many underexposed pictures rapidly and combining them (stuff which you, as the user, never see going on). And spec sheets don't show any of this stuff. This is why I say that the way to judge a phone camera is to look at the pictures it takes and decide whether they are good enough (independent reviews or photos taken by users, not samples produced by the company themselves - more than one company has passed-off photos taken using professional cameras as phone samples).

But as a general point, you can never get 64MP images from a 48MP camera or whatever. Sure, there is upscaling software of increasing sophistication out there (the more sophisticated tools cost around $100 for a license, and require a real computer rather than a phone), but you can't create information this way, it's still just using a mixture of interpolation and using learned patterns to insert guesses at the detail that isn't recorded.

More seriously, don't assume that higher resolution = better camera. Most of these "64 MP" cameras produce 16MP output by default (pixel-binning, 4 pixels -> 1), while "48 MP" defaults to 12 MP. And while they generally have a mode that can output the full resolution, don't use it in anything other than bright light and don't assume that it will resolve as much extra detail as it sounds (I've looked at samples, such as in reviews on gsmarena.com, and often low-contrast detail, such as foliage, is smeared away by the noise you get with many small pixels, each of which is not collecting much light). And if the lens is not sharp it won't matter how high resolution the sensor is. So as I say, I judge phone cameras by the images they produce and not from specs.

(Also, as a final comment on phone specs, remember that a 64MP sensor only delivers 15% more resolution than a 48MP sensor, which is about the limit of what is perceivable when looking at an image of a reasonably large screen, and probably completely invisible when looking on a phone screen. This is because resolution improves as the square root of the number of pixels. And at this level differences in lens quality will matter far more than differences in pixel count).

I think I can't really advise on the last points because your usage is so different from mine. I hardly record video at all, so sequential write speed doesn't matter to me, and hence I have no reason to know whether these different things make a difference in reality - though UHS 2.1 is old technology, so presumably that's the manufacturer cutting costs. As for battery, I'd try to find reviews which test the actual battery life of the device rather than just look at the capacity: your table shows a longer battery life for the Poco despite a smaller battery, which can happen if the components are more efficient, but the question is how did they test the battery life (i.e. does their test reflect what you would use it for)? So maybe find some other reviews of these devices and see whether they agree about which device has the best battery life (e.g. GSMArena's reviews report a better battery life for the M51 than the X3 Pro, which makes sense for a larger battery and a more efficient processor). But also try to judge what you want in terms of battery life, and how that compares to other factors: unless you are like me, where one factor trumps all others to a huge extent, it will be a balance of factors, in which case "what is good enough?" is as important as "what is best?".

Slide from one html page to another

I am making an android book app with java using web view and my pages in html. As I am new to this, I am trying to find how to slide from one html page to another instead of clicking buttons. please if you know how , set an example because like I said I am new to this.

here is a link to the app I made if you want to have a look(its very small for testing purposes, with 3 pages).

https://github.com/Philip2021-Gr/book-app-sliding-between-html-files

So far no one gave me any reliable answer that refers to a rookie like me in coding nor i find a video tutorial that saws how to do that with html pages that are stored in your assets folder.

I hope some one sees this tread and try to help me cause I am struggling for weeks now with this problem.
