I know you're new here but, trust me, @Dannydet was being facetious.

Also, the available color codes are paltry (only 4 basic colors). It would be incredibly useful and oh so simple to add more colors to the palette. Why are there so few choices?? Come on Samsung... Make the apps more functional (so we don't have to resort to 3rd party applications)!

Hi, there I'm Bledmuts and this is my first post.
I did a google search but couldn't find an answer to my question. Telling the truth, I didn't know exactly how to search.
Suppose I have an app that integrates google maps API and performs searches using the location api. Should the calls for the APIs be made directly from the client app or should the app ask my backend server to do the searches thru an intermediate API?

This are the advantages I see of doing this:
-I could log user searches
-I would not expose my google maps API key
-I could search, do more stuff, and then return an answer to the client (like gather extra data from a BD for instance)

What would be the cons besides this one?
-I would get more load in my server

Thanks!

Go into your contacts app and delete the extra phone numbers per each contact

yeah but how can you tell APK file is original or not?? that was the point

Click to expand...

Well that's more of a simple question to a complex issue. There's little you can do to verify any APK you install is definitively the exact same duplicate file the original developer(s) created, unless you do something like use their source code (easier if the APK is Open Sourced, a daunting task if not) to make your own APK and then do a one-to-one comparison between your APK and the target APK.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_application_package
Basically,it would be more prudent to just focus all your attention on where you obtain your APK files from, verifying every app you install/upgrade isn't just something that requires one to build up their development skills but will also involve a lot of time and effort each time.

1) This android site:

https://developer.android.com/reference/android/speech/RecognizerIntent#ACTION_RECOGNIZE_SPEECH

..has the references to speech recognition.

Straight to the point, why does it says "Constants", As I see (the way I know) this defines a "Method". Could some one release me from my confusion? Wich gould be the right use of "ACTION_RECOGNIZE_SPEECH"?

2) This "ACTION_RECOGNIZE_SPEECH" starts an activity, so how can I exctract it, to not to repeat code, writing it each time I need it? Shoul I use EXTRA_RESULTS_PENDINGINTENT instead?

Thanks!

I have tried asking Pushbullet, both through their web 'Contact Us' and their email address - supplied by them. Neither has elicited a response. Mind you, I have been struggling with this problem for a while, and above is a much more polished version of the problem than was sent to Pushbullet.

I have received an email with a question about which phone I use, but although that email linked to this thread, the actual email's content I have not found in this thread.

i don't get it, but in general, if we use APK files from thoses sites, we will have to download it and activate it on our phone then it will shown on our watch or sth ??

This device was only released a few weeks ago, and is only officially available here in China so far.
https://item.mi.com/product/11220.html?selected=11220&pClass=p (Chinese)
The thing looks very much like an Apple Watch.

The Xiaomi Mi Watch definitely won't use or download APKs because it's NOT running Android, and I don't think it's Wear OS compatible either. Xiaomi are using something they developed themselves and is proprietary. It should sync information with a phone, like messaging, notifications, email, etc. It will have a walled-garden of apps, optional faces, etc.

It has Bluetooth, WiFi, NFC, and can also use an eSIM(provided you have a carrier that supports eSIM activations).

I realised my phone has changed to location of where it saves photos from my camera.
For years it's been on the SD card. Now it has changed to internal storage.

I tried to change it back to the SD card, but when I do I see this message:
“Cannot save file to SD card, default location changed to internal storage”

The SD card isn't full - I've used about 4Gb, with 12Gb free.

Any ideas why this is happening, and I can go back to saving on the SD card somehow?

Well, I downloaded Odin3 (v3.12.3) and downloaded the FW update (XAR-T380DXU3CSK1-20191125134039) from https://samfrew.com/model/SM-T380/. I selected the AP file and after the MD5 was confirmed (this page said I only needed the AP file), I clicked start but it failed (see below).

So, then I saw this page which says you always need to flash all of the files. This set didn't include the CP (modem) but I tried flashing the BL, AP, and HOME_CSC. But it got to a point and just stopped (see below). It is still just sitting there.

I've uploaded the image of the download screen where it is sitting and of the model tag.

I found this page which describes applying a custom recovery. Best next option?
.

James,

Sorry to say that using the TWRP file I believe to be correct yielded nothing. I cannot access TWRP by any means I know. I either get the standard Android screen and apps with the message RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING Set Warratny Bit recovery. Or I can get to the Odin screen. I have installed TWRP twice today with the same results. At one time this phone was rooted with Kingroot... could that be the source of my misery? Of course its not rooted now with that method but maybe it's causing me the trouble. I did flash the stock ROM so maybe any KR leftovers are gone in that process?

Or is this a phone that can't be rooted for whatever reason? I'm at a dead end.

Thanks a lot!

Anyone know if someone has picked up the work on this rom or any rom for the xt1766? I know OP is done with this build, but US govt is giving these out to low cost families and I know a many who would like either a better rom or maybe at the least oreo. All these phones r on sprint with sim card.

Click to expand...

You're getting these from the government now huh? I like that actually, better than the piece of junk ANS UL40s I heard about before. It's definitely a step up in every regard.

Not sure about ETAs but my buddy is working on porting Oreo to these. Right now it's unable to boot due to camera issues he's trying to figure out, but SUPPOSEDLY, other than the camera problems everything else is working fine (he can't boot it to test it yet obviously but he said in theory everything else should be good). Not sure when it'll be done but at some point in the future we will have Oreo ROMs for this phone to build stuff off of. At that point I'll probably make a couple for you guys to choose from.

As of now though, for you and anyone else you know that has the E4 as a government phone, unlock your bootloaders ASAP. Sprint usually lets you do this, but I'm not sure if they'll block it in the future because of .gov's sponsorship of the program. Before it potentially gets locked, all you guys out there need to get UNlocked.

https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a/

just curious as well as how you rooted the phone? did you use a guide? do you have a link? youtube video?

something for sure is not right. and you will need twrp if you do not have one. twrp is a custom recovery that is an essential tool for root users.

Since things were working fine previously and just stopped, have you double-checked your account settings when logging into to them online? Perhaps some option for mobile data just needs to be reset.

Otherwise, given how recently you obtained this phone you're still covered by its warranty. Go back to that Boost store and don't waste your time talking to the counter staff, ask to see to a manager and get a new replacement. It makes no difference if the phone itself is the problem, nor if the Boost SIM card is bad or whatever. Legally they have to contractually honor what you bought from them.

Hi, i just started using android studio and java so sorry if my problem will look silly to you.
I am making an app in which a sound plays when a button is pressed.
I watched some tutorials on youtube and followed them almost 1:1, but for some reason my app isnt working and i get errors .
Any help will be appreciated

Hi.
I am seeking recommendations for easily creating an Android app which uses an existing self-hosted Wordpress site or Facebook page as a "backend"; other platform suggestions welcomed.
The most important functions will be:
- user ability to create subscriber account (wp), or follow/like (fb).
- user ability to create a post.
- user ability to comment on a post.
- user ability to like and/or upvote a user comment.

i have tried appypie, appmaker, and ibuildapp so far. but none have ability to like or upvote submitted comments, that I can see.

thanks!

Annnd.... Just like that, it's fixed. For anyone that had any doubt that the Pixel 4 supports text messaging on Sync with My Ford Touch systems... Doubt no longer. I can now confirm that it works.

Even though I had done it several times before with no luck, I decided to try insanity and repeat the process of deleting and re-pairing the phone to the system expecting a different result. This time, insanity won! Or, I won. Either way... It worked. I'm not sure what I did differently, or if luck decided to smile upon me just this once, but all is good now.

Bluetooth can be super fickle, especially when you consider car makers use the cheapest bluetooth version they can.

Glad you got it working!

My previous phone was an S8, my current phone, a 10e. I work in a loud shop, so my call and text notifications are intentionally loud and long. Was a time, when I was on a call, if a text came along, I would get a vibe as a notification. Seems reasonable right? But since one of the late summer updates, my 8 began blasting my notification in my ear while on a call, at whatever volume it was set at, usually full crank. Can't hear what's being said while it's bending my ear drum. I never found a setting for this, and needless to say, it's obnoxious. And my 10e does the same thing, and I still can't find a way to change it. Amongst the several things I don't like about the latest iterations of Pie, this is the most aggravating. Does anyone have this problem or can offer a solution? tia, zz03

I don't have to do that with my G7. Fits my left hand perfectly. Ergonomic.

No matter what I try, I can not get 4G LTE to show up on my phone. I put my SIM card in the wife's phone and 4G LTE works perfectly.

FWIW, it used to work just fine; I've verified all my settings (APN, etc) in the phone (I'm using the Verizon Network thru ST), BTW. Can someone verify the correct NETWORK TYPE setting?? Global or ???

As an aside, I enter my IMEI on Verizon web page and it says my phone will not work on their network; funny I was using the phone on their network for a year until I switched to ST.

Anyone??

Thanks...... Boowho??
