HELP: Redmi Note 8 not switching on after a complete battery drain.

Hadron
No, if it's that discharged I wouldn't expect it to do anything.

The charger is just that, a charger. It doesn't power the phone, it charges the battery. The phone always runs off the battery even when the charger is connected. So if the battery is deeply discharged the phone can't run, and as I said in this state the phone will only attempt to slowly trickle charge the battery in order to protect it.

Give it time and then see. Don't bother trying to use it, you'll just drain any energy it has managed to store.

Avast Mobile Security Review

D
Avast Mobile Security costs and what's covered
Avast Mobile Security remains a freemium app, with a fairly feature-rich free tier and the option to drop the ads and unlock the premium features in the "Pro" tier for either $2.99 a month or $11.88 a year. This is a slight price bump from the last time I reviewed the app, but it is still one of the least expensive paid Android antivirus options on the market.

Doing away with the ads is perhaps the most valuable piece of the Pro tier, but the anti-theft tools, app locking and tech support from Avast are all nice to have as well.
Users looking for an integrated VPN solution can bump up to the "Ultimate" tier for $23.88 yearly or $8.49 a month to use Avast's SecureLine VPN service. To add PC and macOS support for both the VPN and the antivirus software, you need to opt for the "Ultimate-Multi" plan, which costs $59.99 yearly or $27.99 (yes, that's right) monthly.
Malware protection
Avast also makes antivirus software for Windows and Mac, both free and paid. To check out the best options on either platform, please see our pages on the best Mac antivirus software and the best antivirus software overall.
Avast continues to make malware scanning the focus of its app with the big green "Scan" button. While it isn't going to win any speed records, the full scan took between 26 and 32 seconds, rather than the 45 to 60 that it spent churning away during my last review of the app.
You can still schedule your scans for any time and any day of the week, so there's no reason for you to ever see an active scan during waking hours.
Avast's Web Shield held up well in the supported browsers that I had installed – Chrome, Opera, Firefox and Dolphin – and managed to detect and block links from known malicious sites.
Malware detection
Avast Mobile Security achieved perfect results in German independent lab AV-TEST's evaluations of Android security products conducted in July 2019. The app detected 100% of the 3,347 "real-time" malware threats used, and 100% of the 3,433 samples that had been uncovered in the previous four weeks.

This puts Avast well ahead of the industry averages for this round of testing, which were 96.8% of real-time, and 97.6% of recently uncovered, threats. Those averages were dragged down by the abysmal performance of Google Play Protect. But even with that outlier eliminated, Avast was still ahead of the pack.

Possible to set unlock button and lock sound?

The s8 doesn't have a home button also. The s7 was the last phone with a physical home button. S8 did not have a home button. It looked like a smaller s20 with no home button.
The s8 doesn't have a home button, but it has a setting that allows you to hard press where the home button is (even if there is no button) and it will unlock the phone as if there was a physical button, but there isn't.
I was wondering since the s20 also has no home button, if it had the same setting as s8

Ahh, then no. But slightly above that is where the ultrasonic fingerprint reader is (in screen) so hard pressing that does the exact thing you describe (when it works)

the links are dead. most of the time i will look at the date of the thread. this thread was created in 2013. most folks who use a file sharing site rarely supports file sharing for that long. i used to have some files on a file sharing site, but those are long been dead. tbh i can't remember what sites they were on. nor do i have the files that were on there. hopefully the op will notice your post. and hopefully the op will still have the file you want.

Nokia 8.3 5G, Nokia 5.3, and more revealed Phones

E
Global has clarified that the Nokia 8.3 5G and Nokia 5.3 won’t carry the Android One branding, but will offer the same two years of OS updates and three years of security patches as other Nokia smartphones.

It’s certainly a strange move and one that doesn’t reflect wonderfully on the Android One program. Google’s initiative already had very few partners on board, with Motorola and Xiaomi the only other major players.

Nokia 8.3 5G
The most premium of these new handsets is the Nokia 8.3 5G. As the name alludes, this smartphone is the first 5G-capable Nokia device. Nokia claims it’s also the first global 5G smartphone with support for all global 5G networks. That means it has a higher number of 5G radio bands than any phone available now.

The Nokia 8.3 5G touts a 2,400 x 1,080 6.81-inch display, and it can scale SDR content to HDR. The chassis features an aluminum frame sandwiched by glass around the front and back. It comes with the Snapdragon 765G, 6 or 8GB of RAM, 64 or 128GB of expandable storage, a 4,500mAh battery, and Android 10 under the hood.

Nokia 5.3, Nokia 1.3, and Nokia 5310
The other three new Nokia handsets may not be as premium as the 8.3 5G, but they still offer quite a bit of value for the price.

The Nokia 5.3 features the Snapdragon 665 SoC, a 1,600 x 720 6.55-inch display, up to 6GB of RAM, up to 128GB of expandable storage, and a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor. It also touts a 4,000mAh battery, a rear quad-camera setup, and the chassis looks quite similar to the Nokia 8.3 5G. It will be available this April for only €189 (~$204)

Audio Recording V40

I
puppykickr said:
I am not familiar with the app in question, but I do have some other apps that have a similar affect.

Most pronounced is the Microphone app, which basically makes use of the phone's mic to be used on a PA system or similar.

There is a delay that is quite obvious, through wired phones and via bluetooth.

According to the dev, it is an Android thing, and cannot be delt with in the app.

It takes some practice, but you can get used to it and work around/with it.

It is much like someone speaking on a microphone while in a stadium.

Yes exactly thanks for your input I really just wanted to make sure that it was normal... I did find a way to make it better I just wanted to know that it wasn't my phone lol😁

Help from a confirmed person for a very small change, PLZ

B
Hello,

I'm looking for a Java Android developer for a modification which seems very simple to me, remove a flag activation / deactivation of a button.
I say simple but I know nothing about it in android java and modifying one or more smali files seems far from my C++.

I would like to discuss it with supporting sources in MP, whether you take a look at my idea and tell me if the modification is actually simple or if I am grossly mistaken.
And if it's simple, explain to me what to do.

At the moment, i've understood how decompile and recompile and that works !
I can switch the source code to java (with jadx).

Thanks for reading me.
Patrick.

Hi all

My Oukitel C15 Pro does not seem to have a cast option. I got in touch with Tech but they don't understand what i want to do.. The suggest Chromcast app. but that is PC screen to phone. I know you can get HDMI adapters and may have to go that route, but it is another device and power supply :(


I want Phone to TV (my TV has wireless display)

Anyone recommend an app that doesn't steal your ID at the same time LOL.

Thanks

Hi.. it turns out that my phone does have cast... after a few more emails and chats to XONE, They told me I have to find it by using the search function in the Settings section!!!! If it is an item in the Setting section, I can't find it. However the Search function it did work and it does find my smart TV too.

S9+ Auto Record Video Upon Camera App Launch

I have a S9+ I want to use as a helmet cam for sports (I have another main phone, don't worry) and I have it set to 1080P 60FPS but my only problem is Samsung has limited it to film for only 10 minutes at a time for that and then it stops. I'm not going to be able to stop in the middle of sports and take off the helmet to press record again. This is where tasker comes into play. I just have no idea how to use it. How do I set it up to where it'll automatically record again once those 10 minutes are up? Thank you!

It could be the charging cable. Have you purchased a new cable lately @Mythical_Legend? I bought one because it was pretty and long and it stopped working pretty damn quick OEM equipment time wise.
Even now I haven't found a cheap long cable the does the full Quick/Fast charge thing. Is the charging cable braided?
Click to expand...

Big Lots has been selling excellent cables, both USB C and Micro, for $9 and $8 respectively.

They are 10' foot long, have great capacity, and strong ends.

They are not braided. I don't have good luck with braided cables.
