Use Google Assistant with AV Receiver Pioneer

Hello everybody!
See, I have a Pioneer vsx-831 Receiver with wifi and bluetooth and Chromecast built in.

My question: How can I use the Google Assistant voice commands to:
Open and run Deezer or Tidal in the "Pioneer Remote App"?
Since I can only open the app saying "Ok Google, open Pioneer", but I can not make it choose then "NET" and then "Dezeer" and play it.

I hope you can help me. Thanks!

Speech to text on my S10 errors

I've been using Samsung Messages, and when I do speech to text, it keeps repeating pieces of text somehow. Here's an example:
"I'm testing this app to see if it does a better job of speech to it's the better job of speech to text. I have a feeling that it's probably have a feeling that it's probably going to make he same types of mistakes"

I switched from Samsung Messages, to Google messages, and same errors. I switched engines from the default Samsung one to the Google engine and same issue. I played around with all the speech to text settings, but no dice. Maybe I need to remove and reinstall the speech to text function somehow? I've rebooted and same thing. Thanks for the help b/c it's driving me insane.

Help No Radio after Rear Camera replacement

Hello,
I replaced the rear camera. Everything works fine...... Except the cell radio is inop and won't pick up a tower. SIM Status = Network: No network connection, Mobile Network State: Disconnected, Service State: Radio Off. IMS registration status: Off

I've been back in it to confirm connections several times. The WiFi radio works fine and allows me to connect.

I've had Samsung cells apart at least 10 times for screens and ports. Never saw this issue. I'm just trying to find out if I need another motherboard or if the firm/hardware is failing.

Any advice?
Thanks in advance,

LG G5 Overheats ?

G4 is getting too hot to hold. Ive read sometimes rooting or getting rid of bloatware can help but I cannot find a root software or video that throughly shows how to get rid of this bloatware either by rooting or using ADB commands.
Right now cannot even get command prompt to recognize that a phone is plugged in.
Weird thing is if I do not fast charge or use phone as a hotspot it does not seem to heat up too much. Only when put in sim card and hotspot and charge it does it seem to overheat.
Are you saying that a only 4g device might get phased out soon and no longer work at all?
i am saying that a device that is 4-5 years will start to break down with no plans to support it. it is called planned obsolescence. and the same will go for apps. developers will always update their apps to support newer os. and lose support for older os.

and getting rid of bloatware by rooting will only free up space. it might help a tad with battery, but it is not the solution you are looking for.

and have you tried different cables? are your drivers up to date? what commands have you tried? do you have adb setup correctly? are you opening the command prompt in the right directory? can you post the command output?

and yes charging will always heat up the phone. same as when using the phone as a hotspot.

What phones other Moto's let you activate the flashlight using a motion?

I can't find anywhere online where someone has already asked this.

I need a new phone and a wider selection would be best but I need to be able to turn on the flashlight very quickly.

Too quickly to use both hands or look at the screen. I barely have enough time to get it out of my pocket and shake it.

I'm not doing anything illegal or immoral lol it's just a safety thing but it's an essential safety thing.

I know this is old, but it sounded fun.. So I have an app from simple tools (good stuff that guy puts out} called "flashlight". In settings, I tell it to turn on the flashlight upon launch, and then configured a new profile in Tasker to launch the flashlight on a left - right shake, along with waking up the screen for good measure. Works like a champ.

Interacting with Other Apps

The proper way to do this is to leverage the available APIs. Otherwise you would need some sort of bi-directional trust between your app and the one you want to interact with; definitely doable if you're building both apps, but somewhat less so when you want to tap into an app you don't control.

There are always the hacks by exploiting various accessibility services to see what's being displayed in another app, but apps which abuse those capabilities tend to get banned pretty quickly. And you're definitely not going to be able to perform inputs for the user in another app without drawing Google's attention.

Honestly, just stick with verifying posts via the available APIs. Anything less is pretty shady and likely to upset both users and Google.

Always on notifications

there is no setting for the always on display(AOD) on the note 10+ that i know of. the only way maybe thru 3rd party always on display apps. for me the most important are my text messages, calls, and emails. those are always displayed first. i have turned off most notifications for apps i do not need notifications for.

just do a play store search for AOD and and work your way down the list until you find the right one that you like.

Old email addresses keep appearing

Try logging in via web browser to whatever service you're using, Gmail, Outlook, whatever, and edit your contact list there, that would seem to be the culprit.

When I log in using a web browser, the old address doesn't show and if I try to compost a message, it doesn't show as an option. But when I compose using the app on my phone, i get the old and new addresses.

Uptodown store app

The reason why I'm asking is because since I installed it it put all of my apps on that I had on my phone on up to down and I've been having issues with some apps like Gmail Google Evernote any other apps as well do not open

I would resist updating Google apps from UpToDown.
The reason is that some, if not many, Google apps on UpToDown can be in BETA versions, meaning that they are not yet readilly available from Google PlayStore and have not been fully tested.

I have run into issues with this before.

Update Google apps from Google.

Update everything else with UpToDown.

I generally resist updating Google apps at all anyway.
Usually they are only adding spyware and taking away features that I like, while adding more that I don't want.

The issue that you have is most likely caused by a version conflict between the different versions of Google apps that you have.

Just uninstall the uppdates, and then update them from Google or else do as I do and use the versions that are permanently on the device.

You cannot use the original version of Google Play Services, most likely.

Missing Firefox

Funny that you mention privacy, when the people in charge of the app are against that very thing (regardless of what they claim)- which is part of the contoversy with their political views.

Mozilla's ceo was forced out after a bunch of California Brownshirts poured over the lists of donars to a particular political campaign, trying to ruin the lives of anyone who dared to not group think. Then came their "update" which would not allow the Gab extension to run within Firefox. Their anti free speech goose stepping since is just noise, I've long since dumped them.

Help UMIDIGI S5 Pro: SIM not detected outside home base

Hi ArmageddonXZ. I decided to take up the Umidigi offer to replace the S5 Pro with the Bison (8GB RAM). Absolutely no problems with the Bison. Works perfectly in every location where the S5 Pro would not work at all, or had unreliable connectivity.

I also changed my Mobile Provider (in Australia).

The only shame about the Bison is that is a very heavy phone. It's probably great for people who are using the phone in rough environments outdoors, or drop their phone a lot. But, I'd prefer the phone to be lighter. Also the Bison has extra short cut buttons on both sides, which are probably useful in the long term, but very annoying in the short term.

But, the most important point: the Bison works reliably when I'm out of the house &, for me, that's the most important aspect to any mobile phone.

Help MMS Messages are being converted to emails!

Never had an iphoney before, maybe it's a setting on their end. Android for the longest time has always had issues with sending and receiving mms from crapple devices. If on your end the messaging app says it was sent, then it's had to be something on their end.

To verify this maybe try a different messaging app like Textra or Chomp and see if your mms texts will go thru or not.
Looks like I resolved the problem on my own. It seems as if when I transferred my messages from iPhone to Android, it created two different message logs for my moms email and phone number. I sent one to the phone number and it worked fine.
