M51 How to lock screen

When I am running and listening to music my M51 is not readily accessible, since it is in a pouch under my waistband. On some days the music is interrupted by the phone doing random things, maybe making calls, or jumping ahead or behind in the music playlist etc. The issue seems to be that the screen is not remaining locked.

The accidental touch protection does not seem to work. Is there a way to manually lock the screen to keep any incidental touches from interrupting the music that is playing on the phone?

Bluetooth headset doesn't connect sometimes when answering

Ok, so I work from home. I am on my cell phone all day on calls. I'm using the Aftershokz Aeroplex headset. Periodically, when I answer a call, it instead uses the headset, so I'm trying to say hello and they can't hear me. I then go to the phone and change from my phone to headset and instead the audio switches to my smart watch. The only way I can get the call to go through the headset is to turn it off and back on.

Help Vodafone smart prime 6 mobile phone factory reset

If your card was formatted as Internal, any data on that card is now lost. It's no longer accessible because when a microSD card is formatted as internal, its file system is altered (to be identical with your phone's internal storage) and its encrypted (also so match up with your phone's internal storage).

When you did that Factory Reset that also wiped the encryption key. That now missing encryption key was what linked your phone's internal storage to the 'Internal' microSD card so at this point any data on that card is no longer accessible. Reformat the card to reuse it again -- the data is essentially lost but you can still keep using the card again once it's been reformatted.
But you really should try to mount the card in a computer first to check it. If it was formatted as Portable instead your data might still be there or at least recoverable.

Direct to voicemail problem

That's a common problem with phones that don't support VoLTE (voice over LTE).

Do you have the US version of the G5 Plus (XT1687), or international? The international model probably doesn't support VoLTE.

Make sure VoLTE is on:

Adjust font size

Hi All,

How can I prevent Font size changes from affecting the controls on my app?
I have tried the following
public void adjustFontScale(Configuration configuration)
{
if(configuration.fontScale > 1.3f) {
configuration.fontScale = 1.3f;
DisplayMetrics metrics = getResources().getDisplayMetrics();
WindowManager wm = (WindowManager) getSystemService(WINDOW_SERVICE);
wm.getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(metrics);
metrics.scaledDensity = configuration.fontScale * metrics.density;
getBaseContext().getResources().updateConfiguration(configuration, metrics);
}
}
I am able to override font size of the activity using above code. But I want just the header layout(containing button and textView) size to be controlled, not the entire activity. How do I achieve that?

Apps Intel Iris Xe Graphics for android studio

Hi,

I am planning to buy a laptop for android development. Is Intel Iris Xe Graphics along with i7, 16GB ram and 512GB SSD enough for Android Studio and emulator to run smoothly without any lag?

Some people said Intel Iris Xe Graphics is not enough to run emulator. I am a bit confused on moving forward.

Note: I am not a game developer. I deal with only normal applications in android.

Thanks.

Help My alcatel phone wont boot up properly

Hey! My phone wasnt responding to touch, so i shut it off, expecting it to reboot normally. When i tried to turn it back on, it either:
-Got stuck on the loading screen
-Turned on and got to the loading screen, then turned off
-Wouldnt turn on at all

I was able to access the factory reset menu, but with every single option (aside from reboot or power off) comes up with the result 'E:failed to mount /cache (Invalid argument)' repeatedly. This happens for every single option, including factory reset, which im fine with doing because i didnt have too much stuff on the phone.

Ive attempted this twice now, and after i reboot the phone it gets stuck in the same loops as above. I removed the SD card and tried it, that didnt help much either. I dont wanna lose this phone as i need my CAR GROOVES . i gotta JAM. anybody have experience with this issue? please help !

Help Locked out of device with passwordless lock screen

I got a fix!!! I forced my phone to turn off and on again by forcefully draining the battery and the lock screen got removed upon reboot. I believe this only worked because I removed the lock screen and it was a software glitch when it remained, but I'm sending this update so that this thread can be closed. Thank you to everyone who responded to my thread!
