MX Player Pro notification beeps continually during playback

Before my Galaxy S9 upgraded to Android 10 I could leave MX Player Pro running in the background and pull down the notification bar to pause, stop or play.

Now, with all the settings the same there is a notification beep every few seconds if I navigate away from the player screen. The only way I can find to disable this is to turn off Download playback in Notifications, but then the controls are no longer there if I pull down the Notifications bar and I have to navigate back to the player screen to pause, stop or play.

Any advice is greatly appreciated, thanks.

Help Call answer screen does not wake up for incoming call - can't answer

Thanks Svim - problem started in the last week. Carrier is Straight Talk. They suggest factory reset.
A Factory Reset to fix a voicemail issue? Well, the nuclear option is one way to fix a problem. Be sure to back up all your data first, and be prepared to go through the whole setup process if you've done a lot of changes in your Settings menu. I'd go about fixing your problem from the least drastic then to more extreme measures, but if the opposite way works and you don't lose anything than a Reset is a nice way to clean out a lot of other issues that might have been building up over time.

Did you try re-doing your Voicemail set-up process?

I don't know if Straight Talk includes other options in its Voicemail service but check there if there are any relevant options to enable/disable.

Update issues

I have my OG Droid that has a special place for me, though not for as good a reason as you. I still use it as an alarm clock, so as suggested above, maybe repurpose the tablet for something within it's capabilities so it can live on while you get a device to handle your more current day to day needs. A tablet would be great to mix with Google Photos to show slideshows.

(App Idea) Movement Tracker for Phillips Hue

Hello,

I just came up with an interesting idea that I believe could have some potential but sadly I don't have any coding skills and was wondering if maybe there's already an app like this out there, or there is potentially a developer who would be willing to give this a try! :)

My idea essentially involves sensing changes in the wifi levels combined with something like an altimeter to know where your phone and by association you are in the house and using this information can change the light level of the Hue smart lamps depending on whether or not you're in the room or not. This app already measures the wifi strength which could be used as a starting place.

When you first start up the app it could ask you to stand in roughly the middle of a room, and then specify which lamps are currently in the room. It then takes a wifi level and altimeter reading, and now knows where that room is and it's lamps. Now repeat the procedure with every room with a smart lamp in the house. Now the app has various "points" which signify the centre of a room in the house at different floor levels. When your phone then comes close to one of these points by analyzing the wifi strength, it will automatically turn on the lights in that room, and turn off the lights in all other rooms.

Let me know if you want some clarification, I look forward to feedback and more ideas!

Help Saving Webpage to Home Screen

You are probably much better off saving your websites as bookmarks in your browser.

You will run out of space on your homescreen quickly, otherwise.

And you can bet that if you are using Chrome and there is an app on the Play Store for the page you want to save- Bam! Downloads the app instead.

Go figure, right?

So, either save your sites as bookmarks, or just use a different browser.
I use Lightning, from F-Droid, and I have never had that issue.
And Lightning has unlimited bookmarks and tabs.

Creating custom content provider to support multiple formats on copy paste

Hi,

I want to implement copy paste in my app to support multiple formats and the target app can choose one of the formats to paste.
The use case is - A user copies an item from my app and he pastes it to another app owned by me. The item gets pasted in a custom format.
A user copies the same item from my app and pastes it to another app, let's say Gmail and item gets pasted as an image.
I need to implement a content provider so that the target app can choose the format it wants to paste. How can I achieve this?

Using surface control in android

Hi,

I'm trying to use surface control in android.
I'm checking out a native window from this surface control and drawing on that window using opengles but I'm not able to display it on the screen. It seems my surface control is not tied to the android view. How can I tie it with android view? It would be great it someone can point me to some example using surface control and drawing on it using opengl.

Bluetooth headphone issue

You don't usually see verification codes when connecting Bluetooth headphones. And I've never seen anything like that from Bluetooth headphones

Normally you just put them into pairing mode, they appear on the list of Bluetooth devices that the phones sees, and you tap Connect.

What Bluetooth headphones have you actually got there, make and model? Is there anything in the instructions about it?
