New free strategy game - Landrule

Hey Pixamark:

First off, great game!

I have an issue where certain games have been corrupted and cannot be cleared from "My Games." When I try to click on them, it says something like "Cannot find user slot" and there is no option to leave the game.

How can I clear these out? It is preventing me from playing multiple multiplayer games.

Thanks!
Did you ever get am answer? I'm having the same issue.

How to enable restricted settings?

Hello, I have this App called Cube ACR to record calls. I mainly record calls to help remember stuff like appointment times and such.

However since i have android 13, i need to allow restricted settings on the app. But when i go to the app, the 3 dots (more settings) is not there to turn off restrictive settings. What can i do?

I have a galaxy 22+ and i have attached a screenshot of the app information.

Total by Verizon BAD?

speedtest.net's credibility was debunked for me the very instant they claimed I had 25mbps down when in reality I barely had enough to stream 360p YouTube and it took over a week to download the day-one patch to Fallout 4. If anything my internet experience and cellular experience only solidifies my love of physical media over streaming, owning my own music and keeping anything digital on my device over some cloud that always disippates anyway, and not depending so heavily on being online. Many of my PCs are air-gapped now, and only two remain in active service at home, one that is air-gapped and this one which only seems to be used for this forum and some Reddit reads.

The last modern bits in my home are a Nest Audio and hub, one Home speaker, a really old Echo Dot, Nintendo Switch (which works offline better than a PS4 or Xbox) and my Z Flip 4. Everything else has gone vintage or stays stuck in 2009-10

No thanks, my own way of determining my internet speed seems to work best over some rando app.

App Inventor Google TV remote volume up/down not registering

Hey all I have been trying to get my remotes volume up/down buttons to register in my app but they never seem to do anything when I press them?

I have tried:

Java:
public class CallBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        int volume = (Integer)intent.getExtras().get("android.media.EXTRA_VOLUME_STREAM_VALUE");
        Log.i("Tag", "Action : "+ intent.getAction() + " / volume : "+volume);
    }
}

and also

Java:
@Override
public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
        if (event.getAction()!=KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN)
            return true;

        switch (keyCode) {
            case 20:
                return false;
            case 22:
                fastForward();
                return false;
            case 21:
                rewind();
                return false;
            case 23:
                if (mTransportControlGlue.isPlaying()) {
                    mTransportControlGlue.pause();
                } else {
                    mTransportControlGlue.play();
                }

                return false;
        
                getActivity().finish();
                return true;
        }

        return false;
    }

But like I said, every time I hit the buttons they never fire any of those above. The only ones that register are the Dpad up/down/left/right, center button and the back button.

I cam change the volume just fine using this code:

Java:
AudioManager mAudioManager = (AudioManager) getContext().getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
int actualVolume = mAudioManager.getStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
mAudioManager.setStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, 1, AudioManager.FLAG_PLAY_SOUND);

But that does me no good if I cant detect the volume up/down being pressed...

The google TV remote looks like this:

Anyone know what I am missing?

Help Forget to press record

.......There is a timer showing after pressing the record button.

Sometimes after pressing the [video] tab, I just forget to press the record button, and the red round button makes me think that recording has started because it is showing red.......



This is just something you are going to have to train yourself to remember. Write down on a piece of paper, "Look for Timer, Press Record" a 100 times.

I don't know how bad or serious your forgetfulness is. If it's real bad, maybe seeing a doctor would help

I hope this helps!

Can I choose which data or apps to restore from the Google Drive backup onto my Samsung Galaxy?

Certainly, during the process of restoring a Google Drive backup onto your Samsung Galaxy device, you usually have the ability to choose the specific data or applications you wish to recover. This feature enables you to personalize the restoration procedure according to your individual preferences and requirements.

Help Using third party apps for email

If you are concerned about privacy there is one difference of significance: does the third party app simply transfer between the mail provider's server and your phone, or is there processing or storage of the mail by the app provider's server? For example if an app talks about "intelligent sorting" of your inbox that may be done by the app, but more likely it's done by the app vendor's server which means that they are analysing your mail in their systems. You may or may not be happy with that, but it requires a higher degree of trust so to my mind is a significant difference.

(The only first party mail app I use is ProtonMail: I use third party apps for all other mail).

App who want access of our contact list and photos are safe to use?

Both contacts and photos access are things that you should have to allow yourself (unless you have a very old phone), so you can just not grant the app access.

I do not find that the majority of apps ask for these, but maybe you just install a different type of app from me. I'd always ask "why does this app want that?", and if I can't see a reason I'm wary: it could be data mining, or it could just be badly coded, but either way I don't want it. ;)

But it's not always obvious why an app might want a permission, e.g. a flashlight wanting Contacts access is a red flag, but a flashlight asking for Camera access is not suspicious because on some phones that's needed to turn the flash on. Many audio apps want phone access not to make calls but so that they can mute when a call comes in. Often apps will tell you why they ask for a permission, but if not it may require a little thought. Personally my default is that if an app asks for things I can see absolutely no legitimate reason for, even if I can deny it that access, I don't install it, but you do need to understand the range of reasons why a permission may be requested.

Delete/Clear Recent Recipients in messaging

Does anyone know how to clear the recent recipients list under contacts in messaging? I don't want a constant history...

Better yet is there a way to disable altogether?
This is for samsung galaxy S2, can't know if it's similar on your device.

How to disable the quick contact list when sharing for example a link, a picture or a file by regular text (also contacts from separate communication apps)
Here is 4 simple steps, which may be worth a try - it worked in my case.

1) Go into settings.
2) Go to advanced settings.
3) Click on dual messenger.
4) Turn on use seperate contact list.

If it works for you, it should now show apps in a list, no names or pictures of any recipients.

Best of luck

As for the possibility of a virus causing this problem, it is less likely. Modern smartphones are equipped with security measures to prevent viruses from causing such specific problems. However, you should regularly update your phone's security software and be cautious about installing apps from untrusted sources.

Make sure to back up your data before doing so, as factory reset will erase all data on the device. If the problem persists even after a factory reset, it could be a hardware related problem and you may need to seek professional help or contact the manufacturer for assistance. extra help.

National Lazy Day 2023

I was once called lazy by a mow customer who had asked me to trim her hedge. I told her I'd get to it in two or three days. The third day I showed up and she was just finishing trimming the hedge. I said that I'm sorry I didn't get to her job sooner. She said I can't stand a lazy man. I told her I worked 8 hours a day as a carpenter and mowed 40 lawns a week when I got home and across the weekends. I might not be prompt but I'm certainly not lazy. I was offended. Lazy is not in my nature.

Murena Linux Phone

Murena Linux Phones Murena - deGoogled and privacy by design smartphones and cloud services.

Interesting, in the U.S. they have refurbished Pixel 8 with Murena Murena Smartphones – Murena – deGoogled phones and services

It would be something fun to play with
hmmmmm my interest is piqued. however, $400 for a refurbished pixel 5, is a bit much. amazon is selling it for $249 brand new.

I exited download mode using SamFW FRP Tool in my Samsung A51. Now it's a black screen. Not being detected by PC!

It's a Samsung A51. Tried to flash with the correct stock firmware based on binary and region. But I didn't know the FRP lock has to be turned off before flashing a rom. So I tried to exit "custom os download screen" forcefully using the SamFW FRP tool 3.31. The option is not available in the latest version of the tool. Now I'm unable to go back to the download screen again. It's just the blue warning screen after holding "volume up+volume down+Connect PC with the USB". Whenever I click the volume up to move next to the download screen it turns into a dead black screen. The phone is not being showed up neither in the pc Devices>USB Devices nor in the odin or any other tools.
well with odin the phone needs to have usn debugging enabled. if that is not enabled, then you can't use odin. it sounds like the phone is truly bricked. you might want to see if a repair shop might be able to salvage it, but i have my doubts......sorry.
