Camera vs. banking app

Last check (that wouldn't deposit), I had to take in to explain that all the requisite writing for mobile deposit needed to be voided so I could deposit it in person. While there, their tech person tried several times to make it go, the person on the other end who actually "reads" the two images said the numerous attempts were too garbled and illegible. There's no developer contact option on the app page, so all I could do was leave a 2-star review stating that it was once a 5-star...

yeah went into my wellsfargo bank, they told me that the paper, color and type of print can have an effect on the app being able to read the check. most of the time it works, but for a certain type of check it does not.

so i have my doubts that it is the phone or hardware that is effecting this. it is most likely how the app can interpret the picture.

Noticed a new "Achievements" feature on Instagram today: anyone else seen this or tried it?

I'm not huge on leaderboard kinda things, but I have to admit, I do find it fun to follow along even casually. I have posted a few photos to Google Maps over the years and I always find it amusing how many views I pile up whenever I get the automated emails.

Apps Why is my PC slow when downloading a large APK file, and how can I fix this issue?

I've been experiencing a frustrating problem when trying to download a large APK file on my PC. The download process slows down significantly, and it takes forever to complete. I have a decent internet connection, so I'm not sure what's causing this issue. Can anyone help me troubleshoot and resolve this problem?

Could be the speed of the whatever it is website you're downloading the APK files from. Maybe that is slow?

brightness full up super easy shortcut somehow?

It can be challenging to adjust your tablet's brightness when you're outdoors in bright sunlight. While Android may not have a built-in solution specifically for this scenario, you can try the following:
  1. Adaptive Brightness: Enable the "Adaptive Brightness" or "Auto Brightness" feature on your Android device. This will adjust the screen brightness automatically based on your surroundings. You can find this option in the Display settings.
  2. Quick Settings: Swipe down from the top of your screen with two fingers to access the Quick Settings panel. Look for the brightness slider, which should be one of the first options. You can adjust it without needing to see the screen clearly.
  3. Accessibility Features: Android offers various accessibility features that can assist in this situation. You can enable features like "TalkBack" or "Magnification gestures" to help navigate the interface.
  4. Screen Curtain: If you use an iOS device, there's a feature called "Screen Curtain" that turns off the display while keeping the device on. Android may not have an identical feature, but you can achieve a similar effect by using a dark piece of cloth or a "privacy screen protector" that limits the viewing angles.
  5. Third-Party Apps: You can search for third-party apps on the Google Play Store that provide quick access to brightness settings via gestures or screen taps. Some of these apps offer customizable shortcuts.
Remember to check your device's settings and explore the accessibility features that may help you navigate your table in challenging lighting conditions. Additionally, using a screen protector with anti-glare properties can make it easier to see your tablet's screen outdoors.

Apps How can I display values from Android Studio profiler/performance on my app?

To display values from Android Studio profiler or performance metrics in your app, you can use the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) or logcat. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

  1. Enable Profiling in Android Studio:Ensure that your app is running in debug mode in Android Studio. Open the Profiler tab and select the metrics you want to monitor, such as CPU, memory, network, or GPU usage. Start the profiler session.
  2. Connect Your Device:Make sure your Android device is connected to your computer via USB and has developer mode and USB debugging enabled. You can check this in the developer options on your device.
  3. Use ADB to Pull Data:Once you have your app running in Android Studio and the profiler is collecting data, you can use ADB to pull the data from your device. Open a command prompt or terminal window and navigate to your Android SDK platform-tools directory.
    • To pull CPU usage data, you can use the following ADB command:
      bashCopy code
      adb pull /data/misc/traces/cpu.trace
    • For memory data, use:
      bashCopy code
      adb pull /data/misc/traces/memory.trace
    • To retrieve network data:
      bashCopy code
      adb pull /data/misc/traces/network.txt
    • For GPU data (requires root access):
      bashCopy code
      adb pull /data/misc/perfetto-traces
  4. Parse and Display Data in Your App:Once you've pulled the data, you can parse it and display the relevant metrics within your app. You can use any suitable library or custom code to read the data files and present the information to the user.
  5. Regularly Update Metrics:To keep the information up to date, you can periodically refresh the data by repeating the ADB pull and parsing process.
Remember that certain data may require root access, such as GPU data. Also, be cautious with accessing performance data on a production app as it may impact the user experience.

By following these steps, you can display Android Studio profiler or performance metrics in your app for monitoring and debugging purposes.

how do i turn off the double tap function on my samsung a7 while telephoning?

If you want the double tap functionality on your Samsung Galaxy A7 phone during a call, you can follow these steps:

1. Open the Phone app.
2. Tap the Settings icon.
3. Access Call Settings.
4. Turn off the double-tap feature.

Good luck!
1st off call settings is not under the phone settings. you can do a search within the phone's settings to find it....but it is not directly under settings. you can also go into the phone app and then into it's settings to find "call settings"

2nd in samsung phone's do not have a double tap feature under call settings. it is found under accessibilty. you have to turn that on or off to disable the double tap feature. there is no other way to do this.
