Custom Keyboard Overlay?

Ben Foster said:
Hi,

I recently modded my Nintendo Switch to run android which is super cool because now I can run Steam Link Ect. which is awesome. One game I'd like to play is "Sea Dogs: City Of Abandoned Ships" which is an old game with a REALLY stupid control configuration that you cant really change.

The steam link does a good job at transposing the control scheme to the controllers but for example to open your inventory is F2 which you can't remap which makes it impossible to play on the switch.

What I want to do is find an app where I can configure an F2 button (and preferably a few others) to be over the screen so I can play the game like that? I don't really know what to search but I bet it exists somewhere.

Thanks in advance

I dug around for the web developer tools, change my registery on my window system, also I added in a few times, then I went to theme creator and now it is green writing :) Sorry I kept you all out of the loop, it took me about four days figuring out everything.

Dating apps?

olbriar
It is so very easy to project a different or enhanced persona on the internet. It would be difficult for me to put any faith in a dating app. Perhaps they work to some degree but it would be my last resort. I'd put my faith and luck in meeting that special person in any sort of social circle long before I'd try online. Church, volunteering, clubs, sports, any sort of activity where you are a part of a group would be my choice of meeting someone special.

Help OS triple tap zoom seems to be limited to 200-800%. How to get between 100-200%?

Use the pinch zoom to zoom in or out as you like.

You can triple tap to zoom in, then use a pinch gesture to zoom in or back out to the point that suits you.

There is no way to adjust the zoom for the initial triple tap.

Sorry, I'm thinking you don't understand. The zoom is limited between 200-800% and I'd like to utilize the 100-200% region.

it probably means data as in cellular data connection. reboot your phone, most likely it is just a glitch.

phone won't notify of texts

olbriar
I address my emails when I get around to them but I like to respond quickly to my texts. I well understand your frustration. Samsungs have a slider to adjust notification sound level under settings >sounds and vibrations >volume. I suspect you've checked for something similar.
Perhaps the phone's volume level is something you might experiment with as well.

P.S. I am not mobile. So I have everything delivered. So can not go to phone store. Customer Service knows less than I do.
I need someone who has the time to work with me on-going. Maybe it is my fault and not phone. I have also tried the S-pen it will work sometimes not each time. I am out of breath. Haaaheeee

so does it boot up normally? not sure i understand when you say "cutout"? are you saying that it is in a bootloop?

OK I push the power button to turn the phone on,and the word "UNIHERTZ" pops up on the screen but then the phone goes back off before it can get any further. I done changed batteries and the screen itself. It's getting power because the screen does come on just does not goes pass the "UNIHERTZ " logo

Help Best Pixel Phone to Upgrade from a Pixel 3a

codesplice
I came here to say everything that @Hadron said, but he beat me to it - and said it better anyway.

I honestly don't think that we'll see the 5a expand its availability beyond the US and Japan, and it's basically indistinguishable from the 4a 5G anyway.

If you're wanting to buy an A-series phone in the near future, I'd go for the 4a 5G; otherwise, maybe hold off and see what the 6a looks like this time next year.

I just got the new Sony Xperia 1 iii and had this issue but I found the solution.

Android 11 - Textra Version 4.43

- Hit the 3 dots at the top right
- Select "settings"
- Select "customize notifications"
- Make sure "play notification sound" is on
- Hit the "android settings" button under the notification style group
- In the notification menu that pops up, hit the "advanced" drop down
- select "sound" and choose your tone from the list
- back out using the top left back arrow
- hit the play button in the top right of the texts app to very the change.

Hope this helps.

Is G5 data recovery possible?

DGS6 said:
Thank you for your guidance!
Even though I was able to select safe mode, the phone just returned to the same mindless loop.
I was even able to select recovery mode. The screen went to "no command"
So, we are working to reload purchased apps & fat fingering in the contacts. The photos were not very important so no great loss there.
I will download ADP for future use.

If your apps were purchased from Google Play or Amazon Appstore, then they should still be available on your account, and can be installed on a replacement device. Were the contacts synced with anything, like Google?
