Does anyone know this app icon, it was on the status bar on the left hand side, off a screen shot photo.
Thank you in advance.

Hi did you have any luck finding what app this was from?

This case/screen protector takes wiping maintenance.

I thought it was a Hardware issue.

Thanks, that seems to work. I don't know why they can't just use normal formats in the first place. It'd prevent a lot of hassle.

Pull down your quick settings menu.
Find the little pencil, the 'edit' icon.

Tap that and then scroll all the way down to find the quick setting tiles that are not active.

Perhaps the USB quick setting tile is there, and can then be moved up into the quick setting tiles that are active.

puppykickr, Thanks for the suggestion. I looked, but it wasn't in the edit-mode either. I actually didn't think so because it does even show when it's active and connected.
It's become less important since I used the developer-mode to set the default to 'Transfer files'.

Hi,

I have installed Android Studio in a new laptop, and now I cannot get AVD to work. When I try to run a device, I get a message

Code:

"The emulator process for AVD <AVD-name> was killed"

immediately after launching the device. I have tried with API 29 and 30. I have installed the following tools


If I try to run the emulator by command line I get:


I think everything is the same as what I had in the other laptop, expect in this one I am using HAXM. But if I unistall HAXM, I cannot launch a device in AVD, and I have to install it again. I don't know if it is related to the issue.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Nuno

She deleted a few apps and also deleted a new WIFI connection (I doubt if that had anything to do with it) and hasn't seen the problem since. Thanks to all who responded.

Also, check the settings in your messaging app.
Some apps have 'Enter To Send' or similar as a setting.

This could also be a setting in the keyboard app that you use.

My experience was quite different. for a start I had no problem with carriers. I just swapped my SIM from my Huawei Mate10, I'd been using for over three years, into the new Note20 Ultra, and up it came showing China Unicom 5G service. And that's the same SIM I've actually been using for six years now in various phones. That was originally micro size, and I trimmed it down to nano size for one of the Oppo phones I had.

As for the camera, I don't think it sticks out too much, and it seems to be well protected by the silicone case the local Samsung store gave me with the phone. I also used Smart Switch to transfer apps and data from the Huawei to the Samsung, and the only other things I had to do was to sign into various accounts again with a new device, like WeChat, AliPay, etc.

Very interesting!

First, I had no idea that one could just pare down a micro SIM card to the nano size. Wow!

As for the Smart Switch, I had both phones connected to my home wifi, and I told the Note 20 Ultra to go for it, but after half an hour of trying it never connected and I gave up. But something strange happened. My old Note 3 was rooted and I had an app on it called Root App Delete. Well, Root App Delete is now on my Note 20 Ultra, and there's only one place it could have come from. Yet nothing else from the Note 3 made it. And for kicks I launched Root App Delete on the new Note 20 Ultra and tried to use it to delete a Samsung app that I didn't want, and it popped up a message that it couldn't do so because it required root (the new Note is not rooted). But it also gave me a link that it said would root the phone. I didn't try it, but someday I might.

It has taken me all day, but I have almost everything now installed on the new Note. Most of that time was not installing the apps but trying to remember user names, passwords, account numbers ... gah! The Smart Switch would probably have saved me a lot of work if it had worked. And regarding that, maybe my Note 3 was just too old.

The only big thing left is getting a case to protect the cameras. I had the idea that a case+battery might be a good idea, but most of them just stick on the bottom of the back of the phone and leave the cameras without any protection at all. But I did find this one:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/124477874869?hash=item1cfb75a2b5:g:hJ0AAOSw-u9fN1y6
There is no brand name on it, and it costs $45 for 7000mah, plus it ships from China.
But maybe I should just get a case and a separate battery. Fortunately, there is no rush.

The issue you're having is a long-standing problem involving transfers of photos and videos as text message attachments. It's not just an Android vs Apple thing, nor is is it directly a RCS vs iMessage matter. Back when email was the more popular way to exchange attached media files, it was only a minor issue when it came to really sizable attachments (higher res files). So 20 MB files were easily transferred, and it made no difference what operating system was on either end (sender or receiver), nor was which email service (i.e. Gmai to Yahoo to Hotmail to whatever). Email protocols were standardized as an industry standard.
But now text messaging is the norm, and it's full of incompatibilities from the start and continues even now. Proprietary standards and protocols prevent seamless interactions, and competing corporations care more about intellectual property much more than they care about their customers/user base. So text messaging, which often takes place only through cellular network exchanges, has a lot of limitations when it involves interactions between different carriers. File attachments are limited to under 1MB with a lot of carriers. So this problem has been around before RCS even came into existence. And that's a big factor in your problem with high res files being automatically scaled down to low res files in transit. As for RCS, Google has been really pushing that to be the text message standard protocol, essentially replacing SMS and MMS, the two protocols that remain as the only standards that all text messaging services support. The problem being SMS and MMS are very, very dated protocols and both have only basic capacity in today's technology. RCS is a modern protocol that is actively developed and supported but currently limited only to the Android platform as Apple has so far refused to support RCS in its iMessage app. So the benefits to RCS are only in the Android side of things. Conversely, Apple's iMessage protocol is also actively developed and well supported but it is limited only to Apple owners. Apple refuses to allow any other platform to use its iMessage standard.
When it comes to a RCS to RCS exchange, file size limits aren't an issue, but keep in mind not every Android text messaging service includes RCS support and not every cellular service support it.. When it comes to iMessage to iMessage exchanges then file size limits aren't a significant issue either. Even though RCS is not Open Source, Google does make its api open for any platform to use. Apple opts not to. So the bottom line falls back to the MMS and it's limited abilities to handle current technology. It's still the most common way for all the different cellular services to exchange file attachments.

If you want to send high res to others, copy it into an online file storage service (Google Drive, MS OneDrive, Dropbox, SpiderOak, etc.), obtain the sharable link for that file, or for a folder with multiple files in it, and just include that link in your text message. Your recipient can view or download the high res content using the link.

Hope this helps!

I could be completely misinterpreting your posting but it sounds like you're trying to add an app icon to a group by opening up the group icon and trying to add the app icon to that existing group listing.
Have you instead tried just drag-and-dropping the app icon onto the group icon?

It works good in rain.

Do you mean you can't find a forum for it on this site, or our app?

My Google Account is set for the US, so I guess other countries wouldn't have received Google FI promotion notifications.

I do agree that the market is frankly rather crap, though mainly for different reasons: in my case it's particularly this obsession with oversized phones to the exclusion of all else. In fact I'm at severe risk of having a choice of Sony or Apple if I need a replacement in the near future, and absurdly Apple are the more reasonably-priced of the two! And yes, phones are increasingly ridiculously priced for what are marketed as short-lived devices - and when you consider the resources that go into making one of these things the idea that you might replace it after 1-2 years, as the industry pushes people to do, is pretty much criminal (the main reason I've never bought into this "you are due an upgrade" culture the carriers work to encourage).

TBH the two "innovations" I'd like most are better battery technology and the death of the "glass sandwich" design (the fact that none of the 2020 Pixels was a glass sandwich was one thing that Google got right last year). And "better battery technology" means higher charge capacity and longer battery lifetime, not gimmicky high-power charging (which is part of the "disposable" culture problem IMO).

Click to expand...

And since I posted this we've had CAD-based renders of the Pixel 6 range which show that they are planning to release 2 phablets this year. So that's a Pixel out of the picture for me next time (materials aren't specified, but if the glossy look of the renders is based on real information it might be back to the glass sandwich too - which moronic bloggers will call "premium").

On the plus side the Zenfone 8 seems a sensible size and includes a headphone jack. So maybe the "wide" android market will offer me a choice of 2 phones rather than just one...

Does anyone know of a way of registering the google account in the UK? Why does the Hub work on a browser on Windows computers?

Here's how to change your Google Account country.
https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/7431675?co=GENIE.Platform=Android&hl=en
NOTE: You can only change your Play country once per year.

FWIW I've got my Google Account country set as United States, although I'm actually in China, really because of availability of US Google Play vouchers here.

As for it playing on your computer's browser, no real ideas, except to say that ITV Hub doesn't work for me in a browser, with a VPN(Astrill or Express) to a UK IP address, and neither does Ch4 or Ch5 online streaming services.

However BBC iPlayer does work no problems via a VPN in China, well after I checked and agreed that I had a TV licence!!
