This last post looks like the info I have been looking for...is it still current and applicable to updating my t520 now that it seems there are apps that do not support kitkat? This would also be my first attempt at something of this magnitude.

Screen overlay

maybe this article might help you:
https://www.howtogeek.com/271519/how-to-fix-the-screen-overlay-detected-error-on-android/
basically it is settings>apps>advanced>special app access>display over apps. is this where you see that the apps are greyed out so there is no way to toggle it on or off?

I checked out the link above. That's my problem for sure. I played around some more with the settings, I got it to work, but I'm not sure what I did to get it to work.
Thanks

Apps I'm having trouble with Constraints

eah, I think that's a bit of an oversight on the forum's part - I suspect it's because the code blocks are really only used in the dev sub-forum, but maybe it could be added in a sticky? (I don't remember ever reading one with that note)

It is in a sticky, but nobody bothers to read it :D;)

Qlink

puppykickr
Definitely restart it.

That is like giving vitamins to a cheap phone.

Not knocking them, I use them too.

And it is working, correct?
Even when it says it is disconnected?

As long as it works I wouldn't worry too much.

I have a device that I use on Wi-Fi only, and when I am downloading apps from an app store it tells me that Wi-Fi is disconnected.

Wi-Fi is all it has, there is no SIM- no cellular service- and the downloads proceed just fine.

Just wondering...
How does one download their own self made APK's?
Like, say if I have a game or even Playstore (and the other services)... can I make my own APKs and give out?
Just wondering where these clever people go the linked APK's from?
Click to expand...
I'm interpreting this quite differently from @svim, i.e., that you're just wanting to know how to create an APK from an existing app. If that's not correct, skip the rest of this! :)

I create mine very easily--by using file managers that do it for me. :) It's an 'app backup' feature in them. (This has saved my ass in the past.) Note, though, that I basically only use paid apps, and wouldn't consider sharing their APKs with anyone.

I was a programmer and sysadmin on UNIX and Linux. Even though Android is a Linux, and writing apps for it should be pretty easy, my circumstances have changed and stuff like that isn't in the cards for me. Right now. :) So instead of learning how to do it myself, I let apps I paid for do it for me.

How Can I Find an IP Address For A FB Account?

Paula5310
Hello Leah.

Police are correct when they said they cant do much with an IP address. However they didn't tell you that they could easily approach the ISP and ask them details about the IP address and to whom it was assigned. Provided the IP is not masked or the user is not using VPN.

If you haven't found out the IP address yet, refer to this guide:
http://www.hacker9.com/find-ip-address-fake-facebook-account.html

In the above guide, just follow the steps provided by the author and once you get the IP, Check the tracking part in the same article.

remember when you get the IP address of the user, It will also mention which phone or computer he is using and also carrier information. This becomes very easy when the culprit is one of your friends of family member as you can easily guess who is using that phone.

Hope this helps.

- Remove unnecessary widgets from the home screen
- Turn on Airplane Mode in low-signal areas
- Go Airplane Mode at bedtime
- Turn off notifications
- Don’t let apps wake your screen
- Turn off GPS when not in use
- Check app location tracking
- Enable Battery Saver Mode
- Decrease screen timeout
- Charge between 40% and 80%

- Try a factory reset
If you try all but the battery keeps draining abnormally, absolutely you should replace your battery.

Help Getting a Terminal on Android device

In what? :thinking:

First, get the common, but incorrect, idea of 'hacker' out of your head. :eek: This article may help, as it explains what the word actually means--and it's not malicious.

Being able to do that and actually doing it are very different things. As are hacking for recreational purposes, and cracking with devious intent.

As for the keyboard, my interest in it is far from new--I've used it forever [in Android time]. And although its name leads to misinterpretation, it's really just an excellent, full keyboard, intended for heavy users of computer keyboards who want their same functionality on Android.

Only receiving Gmail and Yahoo Mail when charging!!!???

amurgarra
Hello!! Just got a new Huawei P30 Pro (live in Spain) and am not getting alerts on my Yahoo Mail app when I receive a Yahoo email. I have been to a lot of forums and have tried everything, including the suggestions in the above comments. My phone (Android 9/EMUI 9.1.0) is in Performance Mode and not in Power/Ultra Power Saving Mode. In 'Battery Optimization', Yahoo Mail is set to 'Not Allowed'. All notifications are ON in both the Android apps settings for Yahoo Mail and inside the Yahoo Mail app itself. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app. I have 'Restarted' the phone itself numerable times. I have force stopped the app and cleared cache inside the app. When I started setting up the phone, I did not restore from a previous device. It was a fresh, clean 'install'. Both Android and EMUI are up to date. All apps from Google Play are up to date. I don't know what else to do. Anyone have any ideas? Thank you.

Android SDK ROOT

G
Hello everyone,

When I start an emulator with Android Studio, I got the error saying that "ANDROID SDK ROOT variable isn't set".

After some days looking on how to solve this error, I still got it.

Here's what I tried:
  • Uninstall & reinstall Android Studio
  • Create the environment variables ANDROID_SDK_ROOT and ANDROID_SDK_HOME and set it to the SDK directory
  • Checking the SDK Tool to get the right location
  • Checking the tools installed (SDK Tools, SDK Platform Tools, Emulator)
  • Put the SDK directory to the root of C:
  • Updating the PATH environment variable, and adding "platform-tools" and "platforms" folder address to it
It looks like I've tested everyhting, but nothing works.
I have done nothing special to get this error, it "spawned" from nowhere.

The next step is installing Android Studio on a virtual machine and check if it works.

If anyone got any solution, that would be great.

Thanks
