Yes, that a wise decision and I agree. Nothing good comes from breaking the law. It will bring nothing but trouble and unpleasantness to all concerned. In time, you be glad you kept it cool. Things will get better.

Ever since my Samsung Galaxy S10e updated to Android 10, notifications light up the lock screen just for a moment when it's in my pocket and a bunch of Havoc happens. I like the audio notification but the touch screen should stay off. I thought that's the way it used to work?

Just to clarify, is your S9 Plus rooted or not?

If your phone isn't and this is apparently a false negative matter, try going into the Settings >> Apps menu, find and open the Showmax app listing, tap on Force Stop, and then find and tap on 'Clear data'. Using Clear data removes all that app's settings and config files, along with wiping it cache. This returns the app to its first time used state so now when you start it up you'll need to re-enter your login and password info. Something in the app previously mistook the not-rooted state of your phone.
But if your phone is rooted, a lot of online services (streaming content sites, banking sites, etc.) are averse to working on rooted devices because of the pervasive problems of piracy (DRM can be more readily bypassed) and security (interactions involving financial matters need to be tightly curated).

Who are you replying to? :thinking:

This 3-year-old thread was posted as a solution to a problem, and hasn't had any requests for help in a long time.

By the way, this is a forum, not SMS, so we're accustomed to reading actual words and sentences. You might want to write that way, too.

Guys calendar apps are generally bad due to poor programming, that is a fact..so we cant expect nothing more than just simple use

So the -fact- that the OP hadn't saved their reminder, resulting in its loss, is due to bad programming? Interesting. :thinking:

What was Android 9 called?

"Pie".

Which (as I admit I've said before) I never used, because to me it always sounded stupid, in addition to which on my side of the Atlantic does not imply a dessert (I gather that this is something where the cultural assumptions are different: "pie" without qualifiers is most likely to be sweet in the US but savoury in the UK). So I always just called it "9" myself.

(I'm currently on the February patch of Android 10: one good thing about Pixels is that you do get all of the security updates promptly).

Hi, newbie here.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5. The Android system has not updated beyond ver. 5.0. Here are numbers that may help provide a solution.
Ver. 5.0
Baseband ver. G900AUCU4BOF2
Kernel ver. 3.4.0-4432708
Please tell me how to get the phone to update to the most recent version.
Thanks, thelonius

Go to #1.2 of the 42 Galaxy S5 models - Dummies Guide to determine exactly which of the 42 models of the 6 year old Galaxy S5 you have. It would seem to be the hybrid AT&T model which has not been supported by the carrier for around 3 years. If it is the G900A variant, then I am afraid that what you have is as good as it gets as this model cannot be rooted for custom ROM's... see #1.6 of the previous link.

Thanks Dannydet and mikedt for your responses. I'm in contact with the seller. One thing I'd like to mention, I could get the phone boot up successfully after a few tries: first boot into the stage where the screen shows list of different lower level operations (factory reset, boot into bootloader ...) and then try a few times (I could not figure out a special sequence of what I did), then the phone would boot into normal state. If I do a normal shutdown, then all the problems come back again.

So I'm wondering if this indicate hardware issue (I'll need to return it back to China) or a software issue (hopefully can be fixed by new firmware or OS update) ?

I have to launch Chrome and use a Google search: What's my ip to get the IP

If you can't find a widget that works consistently this is just a workaround. Make a shortcut for the site you want to go to.
https://www.howtogeek.com/196087/how-to-add-websites-to-the-home-screen-on-any-smartphone-or-tablet/
Start up Chrome, go to the https://whatsmyip.com/ site, open the menu button, select 'Add to homescreen' and that should save an icon the screen. Then you just need to tap on that icon to automatically launch Chrome to that web site.
You still have to tap on something to see what you want so this is just saving you a few extra steps. Not as readily available as a widget but also don't forget that every widget you add is something that is constantly running in the background as every widget has to be polling its respective app to keep the displayed information current. It's a minimal battery draw but still a factor.

I have LG G7 ThinQ on Verizon provided and paid by my company. My coworker (the phone guy) upgraded his G7 to G8. I asked him what was better in G8 vs G7. He said "nothing really".

Might be an emmc failer and I'm not familiar with the S4 but with the Note 4 in order to flash via Odin its necessary to have accessed developer options and enable usb beforehand, otherwise the pc nor Odin will recognize the device.

Good luck

It's just photos referred to as sprites or animated sprites. It uses a game engine called Defold, and i think it's now free. It uses Lua scripting and c++ for extensions. Go to Defold website if you want to learn more. I'm using Unity as its more geared towards 3d.

I bank with Barclays, who do not support Google Pay.

With my Samsung Galaxy S8+, I was able to make NFC payments, even when the phone was locked.

However, since I bought my Huawei P30 Pro back in March 2019, I need to have the Barclays app open and logged into it before I am able to make payments.

This makes it slow to make payments, so I tend to just get my card out. It's faster. Though it defeats the point.

I have disabled any battery-saving features related to the app.

Any ideas?

Samsung · Feb 6, 2020

I know you claimed the phone hasn't been near water but it's very possible (perhaps likely) that moisture somehow snuck awkwardly into a port when you didn't notice. Maybe your hands were wet, there was steam in the bathroom, it was humid that day, or someone else got it wet and dried it off when you weren't looking.

Treat it this as if the phone actually got wet- if just to completely rule out the possibility. Put it in rice, blow a hairdryer on it, get a pressurized can of air you use to clean keyboards, etc... and see if you get any results.

I have built an app for android which takes the data and enters it in a google sheet. The form has like 600+ values and was working flawlessly but it has broken upon adding more fields and now I am being greeted with these in logs when it crashes:

App crashes when I try to start this 'AddItem' activity from my 'MainActivity' activity using this simple code:

Code:

@Override
    public void onClick(View v) {

        if(v==buttonAddItem){

            Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),AddItem.class);
            startActivity(intent);
        }

    }

Here is the method addItemToSheet() from AddItem activity:

Java:

private void   addItemToSheet() {
final ProgressDialog loading = ProgressDialog.show(this,"Adding Item","Please wait");
        final String farmer_name = editfarmer_name.getText().toString().trim();
        final String husband_father = edithusband_father.getText().toString().trim();
        final String village = editvillage.getText().toString().trim();
        . 
        .
        .
        .
        .(more 'fetching strings from editText and storing in variable')

StringRequest stringRequest = new StringRequest(Request.Method.POST, "https://script.google.com/macros/s/xyxyyxyxyxyx/exec",
                new Response.Listener<String>() {
                    @Override
                    public void onResponse(String response) {

                        loading.dismiss();
                        Toast.makeText(AddItem.this,response,Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                        Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),MainActivity.class);
                        startActivity(intent);
                    }
                },
                new Response.ErrorListener() {
                    @Override
                    public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {

                }
        ) {

                Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<>();

                //here we pass params
                params.put("action","addItem");
                params.put("farmer_name",farmer_name);
                params.put("husband_father",husband_father);
                params.put("village",village);
                .
                .
                .
                .
                . (more params)

}

Please let me know what am I doing wrong. Tried googling but it has not helped.

Thank you for your time.

I like the concept but folding. Won't you develop a crease?

Hadron · Feb 5, 2020

Look in your notification or privacy settings (Samsung tend to rearrange menus so I can't say exactly where). If you set it to hide notification content on the lockscreen that might suffice.

No! That means the user that posted it changed the privacy settings.
