It happened one other time. I don't know alot about phones but I actually suspect that my phone has been screwed with. I think somebody else is getting my messages and voicemails. I'm gonna try safe mode

What makes you think somebody else is getting your messages and voice mails?

First, a belated welcome to Android Forums, 88keyplayer! I rarely visit this board any more, so I didn't see your post until now.

Will Brave create these .org.chromium.Chromium files? I have 2 listed in my phone and have never seen them before today after using an Android File explorer app from Play.

I'm guessing that it's the file manager, not the browser, causing this.

I have several reasons, including the fact that you've never seen them before installing the FM app.

After reading this thread about a Linux program, Zulip Electron, creating large numbers of .org.chromium.Chromium.xxxxxx files on computers, I deduced that an Android app could do the same on an Android [Linux] device.

From that same thread I found that Opera browsers create those files, too. But, again, since you've been using your browser, Brave, before ever seeing these files, I don't think they're related.

On Linux computers, in the first person's case, they're stored in /tmp, which is a directory that's usually cleaned up by the system, including emptying it following its [very rare!] reboots.

If you can tell us where your files are located, that will help figure out what, if anything, to do about them.

Any Pixel sold by Google for Verizon (that is, with Verizon selected as the carrier) will be SIM-locked to Verizon, but the lock should be automatically removed 60 days after the device is activated on Verizon. It sounds like that may not have happened in this case, for whatever reason.

I know the back-and-forth really sucks, but you'll need to take this up with Verizon. The message you're getting indicates that the phone is carrier-locked so it falls to the carrier to unlock it.

I made the mistake of installing Weather Home app on my S7 edge and when I go to uninstall it, the uninstall button is grayed out and I can't uninstall it.

Additionally, a brand new bunch of bloatware apps (News, Market, Videos, Personalize, Games) invaded my phone and I can't find any way to get rid of them. They don't show up in Settings->Apps and when I hold them down, all I get is a menu with edit, widgets and app info options. How do I get rid of this crap and how can I prevent further invasions like it.

Click to expand...

Whoops, I just solved my own problem. All of the unwanted apps showed up with Weather Home. I was able to uninstall Weather Home by holding down the icon and clicking on app info. That's where I found the uninstall option. When I uninstalled it, all the bloatware apps disappeared with it and my s7 edge (which I dearly love) is back to normal.

Hello there,

I recently bought oppo reno 2 phone. I set it up and I came across an issue with built in messages app. I open it up and it closes within a second or two. Does anybody else have the same problem or had in the past and know how to fix it? I did a hard reset, back to factory settings, but nothing helped. Started to think its a phone itself. The rest off the apps works fine. Any help will be much appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

Nice app

Hello everyone,

I have an issue using my AVD with Android Studio. When I attempt to close the AVD clicking the little cross next to it, it causes my PC to crash/freeze. I have to wait for a few minutes, and during that time it's a complete freeze, I can't do anything. I tried ctrl+alt+suppr but it seems that my PC isn't able to compute my inputs during this freeze. Once it was so long I had to shut down my computer the hard way, holding the power button because the freeze was never-ending.

I joined the configuration of my AVD.
The configuration of my computer is :
I5 7600K, 16GB RAM, GTX1080
Windows, Android Studio, and the AVD are installed on a SSD.
My Android Project is on an HDD.

My English might not be perfect, it is my native language (did my best though).

Thank you for your help and attention.

Using your TV in a home theater
Your TV has several features that make it an ideal TV for a home theater. But you might not notice them because they remain in the background until you decide to use them.

Using your TV in a home theater. The internal speakers are also turned off when you use the headphone jack.

[paste:font size="4"]Changing the audio mode
Your TV has two audio modes, accessed by navigating in the Home screen menu to Settings>Audio>Audio mode:

• Stereo—Use this setting for internal speakers, headphones, and external stereo amplifiers connected through the HDMI1 (ARC), OPTICAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT, or headphone jack.
• Auto—Use this setting to automatically detect the best audio setting based on the audio stream in the content you are watching. If you have connected your TV to an external Dolby Digital or Dolby Digital Plus compatible amplifier, receiver, or sound bar through HDMI1 (ARC) or OPTICAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT, your TV automatically selects the appropriate surround sound capabilities of the device based on the characteristics of the current program.

HDMI ARC—The HDMI Audio Return Channel enables your TV to output digital audio on one of its HDMI connectors. The connected amplifier can also function simultaneously as an input source to your TV, if needed. To use the ARC capability, you must connect an HDMI cable from your amplifier's HDMI ARC connector to the HDMI1 (ARC) connector on your TV. You also must:

• Be sure your HDMI cable is certified by HDMI.
• Enable HDMI ARC under Settings > System >Control other devices (CEC), as explained in Enabling HDMI ARC.

• SPDIF—Your TV has an OPTICAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT connector that outputs a digital audio signal. To use the optical output, connect a digital optical audio cable from the amplifier to the OPTICAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT connector on your TV.
  Note
  Dolby Digital Plus format is not available through the OPTICAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT output. This format is only available through the HDMI1 (ARC) connection.

After making the required HDMI ARC or digital optical audio connection, go to Settings > Audio > S/PDIF and ARC option and select the audio format to use.

Note
In most cases, Auto detect is the best option. Other settings can result in no sound when the content you are viewing does not contain the audio stream type you selected.
[paste:font size="4"]Controlling other devices through CEC
Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) enables your TV and other CEC-compatible home entertainment components to control one other in various ways. First, the CEC-compatible devices must “discover” one another and report their capabilities. After this, one device can control another according to the features you enable. For example, playing a disc on a Blu-ray player could switch your TV to the Blu-ray player's input. Or, powering off your TV could also power off the Blu-ray player and the home theater receiver.

Turning off the speakers) and resumes local control of volume and mute state.

To enable or disable system audio control, in the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > System > Control other devices (CEC) and highlight System audio control. Press OK to enable or disable the feature.

[paste:font size="3"]Enabling 1-touch play
1-touch play enables a component to control which TV input is active. For example, pressing Play on your Blu-ray player switches your TV to the Blu-ray input.

1-touch play is disabled by default. To enable 1-touch play, in the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > System > Control other devices (CEC) and highlight 1-touch play. Press OK to enable or disable the feature.

Enabling system standby
The system standby feature causes other components to power off when you power off your TV. Depending on the CEC System Standby implementation, it also might enable connected components to power off your TV when you power off the component.

System standby is disabled by default. To enable system standby, in the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > System > Control other devices (CEC) and highlight System standby. Press OK to enable or disable the feature.

hello all

hope you're well during this difficult period

i have an android box called "t8-aml-v3"

the development for the device stopped shortly after i purchased it so its been stuck on 4.4.2 for a long time, it was fine but now all these new apps like netflix bein sports having issues with old software,

what I want to know is, is there any way i can flash the device to install just basic stock android the way we can do for any device such as a memory stick,

when i go into recovery mode etc and reset it it doesnt wipe it just factory reset, i even tried installing a rom using clockwork lol it goes through the process but when it reboots its just normal box

could someone please point me in the right direction?

I'm able to block numbers, it's the text message system that came with the phone, Idk why it sends "read reports" instead of anything else, or that it was uncommon. I'm not sure what's going on but the phone often.... well, I'm not so lucky with technology it seems. Things that don't even have internet connection seems to do things others deem impossible. I don't know what kind of viruses can get on my phone and what not but I've accidentally clicked while scrolling on Facebook's messanger on what is obviously not trustable links twice now as well. I think it may have been caused by my number being on my old facebook profile before removing which soon after and ever since I've had never ending scam calls. I don't click any links, and I read on google at some point sending messages could invite trojan viruses. Googles been very unreliable. I'm hoping to make my next phone at leaste not be constantly bombarded by scam callers and texts. I'll look into those apps or anything else of the same result to protect it. Something about those "read reports" disturbed me greatly. Thinking back this phone has likely had over 50 games downloaded and deleted and any wear down on tech for me is chaotic regardless for reasons I'm yet to understand. And I mean things like swiping around and clicking random things while I'm not touching it, sometimes just turing on and unlocking itself every other hour. Things to avoid next time around I hope, thanks for your helpfulness, your already more reliable than google

Was really excited to play this game but with Al the permissions it wants and now I have to create a Rumpus account to connect to my Google Play account?



I wish game devs would just let you okay. Agree or am I being grumpy for no reason?

Saw this game on a Reddit AMA and it looks pretty awesome. Just downloaded to give it a try.

Wish I could help but I'm just a User.

Hi,

I'm truly sorry if this is a dumb question or has been posted. I've been working on this for around 2 hours and am going nuts. I have a Motorola Moto Z2 Force. Tomorrow's my birthday and I want to send one message to around 30 people to join me for drinks via Zoom. The normal group text feature doesn't allow so many recipients so I've made a group. When I try to send a message to the group I get "Message not sent: unsupported content". This happens whether or not I include the Zoom link. Any suggestions? Please direct me to previous posts if applicable. I live alone and want to have a bday party lol. Thanks!

Click to expand...

What type of message service are you using? And what's in the message other than the Zoom link?

If you are using SMS then "unsupported content" would imply something other than text (URLs can be sent as text, of course). If MMS that would imply something that's not supported by MMS protocols. If something else...?

So if there any other message service that they are all members of? Could you use email (which Zoom links definitely work in and where there is no problem sending 30 messages), or are the kidz too cool for that?

Apologies, I didn't mean to be snarky - I think 'lockdown' is getting to me, so please forgive my flippancy. Yes, I'm familiar with the concept of Voice Over Internet Protocol, having used it when gaming in years gone by.

With regard to the tone(s) I heard which started this whole palaver, I got them when I dialled the old mobile numbers tommo47 posted as well as the two landlines (which, admittedly, is what I've assumed they are on the basis of them starting with 01 in one case and 02 in the other), so I'm none the wiser.

You mean 5GHz WiFi? No chance. A device that's using 2.3.6 Gingerbread, is like really ancient.

What is the particular drone, is it a DJI or something else, what's the model, and what phone or tablet have you actually got there?

Click to expand...

Hello! Thanks for replying! I was looking at drones and saw some reqired 5ghz....haven't decided on anything yet, but need to know before making a possible purchase. My phone is a Samsung Android

Recently someone I called blocked me from recording his calls, which means his voice was muted in the call recording

Click to expand...

I've never heard of such a thing. I can record any calls with my phone, no matter who's calling.

What device have you got there, what service and/or app are you actually using, what country are you in, are there any local laws or ordinances prohibiting call recording there?

is it just one app that is causing it?

if you go into your tablet's settings do a search for permissions. you should be able to permissions manager. from there you should be able to see what has permission and what has been denied.

I created a channel for your new game. Best of luck.
