Hello to All:
I received this phone as a gift. I'm not tech minded, and really only need to make/receive calls and texts, take pictures occasionally. I would though like to access the calendar. When I try to, The program wants me to "share" info. My old flip top LG never required this, I simply went into calendar and entered what I wanted. How can I send myself reminders securely? Thanks

Do they heat the wrist any more than a normal watch (i.e. just from covering the wrist)?

Not in my experience, and I've been wearing a smartwatch since ~2013.

For me, the primary pro is being able to handle (as in, act on rather than just view) notifications on my wrist so that I don't have to reach for my phone whenever it goes *ding* - with built-in fitness tracking being a close second. I also really enjoy being able to customize watch faces to exactly suit my needs (I support servers around the world so displaying UTC in addition to local time is a must).

The only con I wrestle with is battery life, but if I'm already throwing my phone on a charger each night it's not much of a hassle to do the same with my watch.

F-Droid for open source apps

I updated my Android Studio to V3.6.2 this week. It works well till now.
Just go to 'Help - Check for updates'.

If it will not work yet, you can download the setup package for the latest and stable version, V3.6.2, from the official website. And then run the setup to update your AS V2.1.1.

I don't think there's anything to root is there? It's a dedicated MP3 with some embedded firmware.

There was alternative open source firmware for some MP3 players, like Rockbox, that could be installed on some iPods and iRiver players. And Rockbox supported a couple of Sony Walkmans.

Rockbox may support your particular Walkman but I don't think there's anything very usable, and it was last updated in 2017.

I used Rockbox for years on iPods, before I got an Android device.

I'd like to understand how Android OS woks when opening a file from a file manager. It seems different versions of Android behave differently. Also, the behavior is different depending on the location of the file, local or local network.
I use ES File Explorer and Solid Explorer as file managers on all my Android devices (phones, tablets and standalone VR headset). When I click on a video file for example, a list with apps capable to open that file is shown (if the extension is known to be for video files). Even if I have the same video players installed on all devices, the list of video players displayed for opening the file is different, from one device to another. I have Android 5, Android 6, Android 7, Android 8and Android 9. In Android 9, on my OnePlus 5T, when I try to open a video file, only SE WebView and SE Video Cast are listed as options. However, I have MX Player, XPlayer, VLC Player, ES Video Player and a VR Player installed on the phone, but NONE of them is listed. They are not listed if I try to open the file in ES File Explorer or Solid Explorer.
On my Lenovo Yoga Book YB1-X90F tablet running Android 7, if I open the same file in ES File Explorer or Solid Explorer, six different video players, all download managers and all video downloaders are listed as options to open the file.
On my Lenovo Mirage Solo VR-1941S VR headset running Android 8, when I try to open a video file in ES File Explorer or Solid Explorer, the DeoVR Player (which can correctly play VR180 and VR360 files), is listed ONLY if the file is stored locally (internal memory or SD card), but it's not listed if the file is located on any of the computers and laptops on the local network.
I have other tablets and older phones running older versions of Android mentioned above. When I try to open files in ES File Explorer or Solid Explorer, they display different player options, but none as restricted as in Android 9 on my OnePlus 5T.

How this OS feature works in Android?? Is there any way to add one player or more to the list of displayed capable applications?

I'll very much appreciate any help I could get!

Hey people, what are your favorite games? What are you playing day and night? I play in Dota 2, but you? For me, it is the best game that exists at the moment. I hope many of you will still say that Dota is the best online game. I recently made and boosting dota 2 mmr endowments. Have any of you tried to upgrade your Dota account? What was your experience?

I don't get it, one of the coolest features since Android 5 and no one seems to even know what I mean, wherever I ask...

Absurd. It's when you physically pick up the device off from the table, the motion sensor then triggers a single short vibration to let you know you have missed calls and/or messages...

Anyone ?? Thanks.

Pickus is an innovative game designed by a father, who had been inspired by his daughter while playing the classic board game "Nim". His daughter loves it; all friends love it; people of all ages love it!

You may consider Pickus as a puzzle-solving game, a time-killing casual game or an educational game for kids. All is up to you. Let's have some fun!

The game rule is very simple: Two players take turns picking figures, and the one who picks the last figure wins.

Then we feature innovative game rule variations: What if the player who picks the last figure LOSES? And what if the pick-to-win figures and pick-to-lose figures sit together on the board? That will become very interesting! We present a total of 9 funny game rule variations.

Pickus has 3 game modes to choose from: puzzle challenge, casual play with AI, or casual play with your friend or kid.

Hope you like it!

Hello! I am making an app, that should create some type of quiz. For that, I want to ask the user questions, which should appear on a certain unabled button. I have created one void for each question. The problem is, that I do not know how to select one randomly and then select another one without repeating those, which I already have asked before. I have tried with the random library but it does not work.
Maybe someone knows how to help me?
Thanks

My AccessPoint has a outdoor antenna. In naighbors home I get 800kb/s with 32Mbit connection.

Development thread moved to the dev area for better exposure.

I want to implement a Vehicle Routing Problem in my android app but I am unable to found a suitable library which can do the same. I came across OptaPlanner which doesn't seem to work with android. Any suggestions (plus tutorials).
I have been googling for hours on this thing.

What app is 'BLOCK THIS'?

It's another of the VPN-based ad-blockers.

What about it?

they are not responding at all. i thought we could do something since it has a usb port and connect via pc! but that hope also lost

Click to expand...

It probably does connect to a PC, but without Santek's proprietary flashing tool and correct ROM image for this device, it ain't going to do anything.

There's certainly no custom ROM made for this product

it just came out, maybe you can return it for a new one as this one seems broke.

Hello i was having an issue where my phone (Note 8) kept going to homescreen even after factory restore and disabling appear on top and picture mode in app settings

This seems to be an issue for Verizon users so go to applications and disable every Verizon app
-Call filter
-Cloud
-Digital Secure
-My Verizon
-Verizon app manager

After disabling all of those my phone stopped going to home randomly i hope this helps out some of you out there and saves you from the headache

Did you try to clear the cache of the apps that were not working?

Often this will solve this type of issue.

If not, try clearing the data as well.

All this would be cleared during a reset anyway, but at least you can possibly salvage what is still working.
