Looking for some suggestions

I found 0 results for all of the criteria you're looking for.

I found 2 that meet all criteria except for wireless charging:
https://m.gsmarena.com/results.php3?nPriceMax=200&fDisplayInchesMin=6.2&chkNFC=selected&sMakers=9

Feel free to play around on that site with different options. In that price range, features are going to be limited. I think your buddy is either going to have to be willing to compromise on some features or pay a higher price for a mid-tier device.

Help Can't hear on calls

I suffered the exact same problem with my S8+. I tried all the tricks and finally took it to a repair shop. They replaced the microphone but that did not fix the problem. Fortunately, they refunded my money and I traded the phone in for a new phone. I wish I had some clever suggestion to try. I hope your results aren't the same as mine... unless you are in the mood to replace your phone. Good luck

Where to get a good replacement battery from?

Yeah, I know the feeling.

I sometimes feel strange adding to an ancient thread, but if I have any info that can help someone, or as in this case I recently just went through a couple of battery replacements- I go ahead and leave the info.

Just in case.


I honestly find it helpful. Theres a good chance the information may help someone else in search of the same answer. The more input the better. :)

During the conversation, the interlocutor echoes his voice.

If it's consistent in different places that suggests the phone. The problem suddenly coming on tells you nothing about the source.

Unfortunately I can't suggest anything more detailed. You describe something that only happens when using the phone's mic and earpiece, and only when making cellular calls. That's an interesting combination, since the mic and earpiece are also used in VOIP calls (WhatsApp, Telegram etc) and the cellular connection is unchanged when using a headset or speakerphone mode. So there's not an obvious single hardware component here that's unique to the case where you have a problem. You have checked that it doesn't depend on how you are holding it rather than the input source?

Maybe try in "safe mode", which would eliminate any third party software as the cause if the problem is still there. I doubt it's system software, since that wouldn't have changed 2 days ago, but there will be another update in the next couple of days so you could see whether that makes any difference.

To be honest though, if it's hardware the options may be rather limited: a bad antenna connection or mic connection would be one thing, but an awful lot of the rest is bonded to the motherboard and not designed to be removed.

Charging power limit

My wife and I each have Note 5s and a Tesla Model 3 which puts out 7.5 watts thru each of 2 front USB ports. The car also has two rear USB ports which I believe put out the same power. If I connect all 4 USB ports to a cordless phone charger I plan to buy then theoretically it would deliver 15 W per Note 5. Mine question is how much power can a note 5 take for charging?
You cannot just 'combine' the power output of multiple USB ports the way you're implying, and a wireless charger won't be able to supply the amount of power to meet your expectations anyway. If your intentions are to manually rewire individual USB adapters to provide a single output, note you'll probably being shorting out some circuitry in your Tesla (with the hope that the USB bus inside your car is modular and will just pop a circuit breaker/fuse).

Themes Dark Mode in Shared preferences

I made a dark mode in the settings of my apps and it worked out perfectly BUT I can't save it in SharedPreferences so it will stay how I choose it. I can do a background color in my SharedPreferences but this setting always causes Errors. What do I wrong? I hope someone can help me make it work. Thank you so much. When I run the code like I have it, the App won't even run. When I remove the SharedPreferences Part it works but it doesn't save. Hope someone can help me. I work on it since so many hours and cant solve it, because it is my first app.

here is the code:

Code:
public class Settings extends AppCompatActivity {

    private static final String TAG = "SettingsActivity";
    private RelativeLayout layout;
    private SharedPreferences preferences;
    private Bundle savedInstanceState;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_settings);

        assert getSupportActionBar() != null;
        getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);

        Spinner spinner = findViewById(DarkMode);

        spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() {
            @Override
            public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
                Log.e(TAG, "onItemSelected: " + position);
                handleNightMode(position);
            }

            @Override
            public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parent) {
                Log.e(TAG, "onNothingSelected: ");
            }
        });

    }

    private void handleNightMode(int position) {

        switch (position) {
            case 0:
                Log.e(TAG, "Nothing Selected");
                break;
            case 1:
                Log.e(TAG, "FOLLLOW_SYSTEM");
                AppCompatDelegate.setDefaultNightMode(AppCompatDelegate.MODE_NIGHT_FOLLOW_SYSTEM);
                getDelegate().applyDayNight();
                break;
            case 2:
                Log.e(TAG, "YES");
                AppCompatDelegate.setDefaultNightMode(AppCompatDelegate.MODE_NIGHT_YES);
                getDelegate().applyDayNight();
                break;
            case 3:
                Log.e(TAG, "NO");
                AppCompatDelegate.setDefaultNightMode(AppCompatDelegate.MODE_NIGHT_NO);
                getDelegate().applyDayNight();
                break;
            case 4:
                Log.e(TAG, "AUTO");
                AppCompatDelegate.setDefaultNightMode(AppCompatDelegate.MODE_NIGHT_AUTO_BATTERY);
                getDelegate().applyDayNight();
                break;
            default:
                Log.e(TAG, "FOLLLOW_SYSTEM");
                break;
        }

        SharedPreferences preferences = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
        String NightMode = preferences.getString("prefTheme", "NO");
        if (NightMode.equals("YES"))
            AppCompatDelegate.setDefaultNightMode(AppCompatDelegate.MODE_NIGHT_YES);
        if (NightMode.equals("NO"))
            AppCompatDelegate.setDefaultNightMode(AppCompatDelegate.MODE_NIGHT_AUTO_BATTERY);
        else if (NightMode.equals("AUTO"))
            AppCompatDelegate.setDefaultNightMode(AppCompatDelegate.MODE_NIGHT_AUTO_BATTERY);
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    }
}

Help Multiple Google play developer account termination.

I don't think that posting a plea here for Google to fix this will help at all: we aren't Google, we're just other Android users.

I obviously know nothing about this apart from the few words you have posted. But my first thought is what stories were they pulling from what feeds? If they were pulling from feeds that are spreading disinformation it may be that Google don't accept the argument "the content is nothing to do with me", even if the irony that this is the first excuse of all of the big tech companies, and one Google themselves have used many times, is extremely heavy (hypocrisy in a tech company would be nothing new).
