Xfinity is an ISP

Click to expand...

Yes, and it has a mobile app in Google play. I tried calling them. It's virtually impossible to contact them except by a chatbot, unless you can supply a zip code in their coverage area. Maybe someone can post a zip code so I can get past that roadblock to their customer service

Xfinity is an ISP isn't it, rather than an app? This looks to me like pop-up ads for products and services, such as Xfinity and Audible, rather than apps actually opening on your phone.

I'd guess you've got some adware installed on your phone that might have come with some "free" app or game you installed possibly?
Is it a US carrier version phone you've got there? Because I've read reports on AF of pre-installed adware on those devices.

I've had this model of phone for years, so I would think an app rather than pre-installed is likely the source.
I can accept in-app ads, but this is not acceptable.

Can someone recommend a way to export a list of installed apps so I can begin sorting out which one may be responsible, like posting the list to get answers or advice?

Usually we can't get these but thankfully it was a super common one. Happy I was able to help..

AndroidStudio (AS) fails to find the definition of ScriptC_invert when implementing a Renderscript (in another file invert.rs). It is placed in a directory src/main/rs and this is updated in the gradle (AndroidStudio folder). I am using Android SDK 33 which should still support Renderscripts.

I am sure there are no code-wise issues as I am consistent with several examples online, namely, the invert.rs contains:

// File: invert.rs

#pragma version(1)
#pragma rs java_package_name(com.example.sharp)

and the Java code:

ScriptC_invert invert = new ScriptC_invert(rs);

but I get:

error: cannot find symbol ScriptC_invert invert = new ScriptC_invert(rs);

The build.gradle contains:

renderscriptTargetApi 18
renderscriptSupportModeEnabled true

as well as:

sourceSets {
main {
renderscript {
srcDirs 'src/main/rs'
}
}
}

Anyone managed to get this running on current android/AS versions? Thanks!

If you are experiencing issues with the search functionality in the Google Docs app on your Android device, there are a few potential reasons and solutions to consider:

1. Indexing delay: Google Docs needs to index the content of your documents in order to provide accurate search results. Sometimes, there might be a delay in indexing, especially for older documents. In such cases, waiting for some time (hours or even a day) and trying the search again could help.
2. Connectivity issues: Ensure that your device is connected to a stable internet connection while using the Google Docs app. Incomplete or intermittent internet connectivity may prevent the app from accessing the necessary data to provide comprehensive search results.
3. Account sync: Check if your Google account is properly synced on your Android device. Go to Settings > Accounts > Google and make sure the account associated with your Google Docs is selected and properly synced. This helps ensure that your documents are up to date and searchable.
4. App updates: Keep your Google Docs app updated to the latest version available. App updates often include bug fixes and performance improvements that can resolve issues with search functionality.
5. Clear cache and data: If the issue persists, you can try clearing the cache and data of the Google Docs app. Go to Settings > Apps > Google Docs > Storage > Clear Cache/Clear Data. Note that clearing data will sign you out of the app, and you'll need to sign in again.
6. Contact Google Support: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, you can reach out to Google Support for further assistance. They can provide specific guidance and investigate any potential app-related issues.

I had this issue three times on the same device and fixed it very simply. Just remove back cover and connect bench power supply directly to battery , bypasding charging circuit. 3.5-4V is enough, 10 minutes or so will bring battery level back to recognizeable by charging circuit and then you can use normal USB charger.
Don't allow device to discharge fully if you don't want to repeat procedure again.
Don't know what it has with "wrong id KERNELL LENGTH" error which sounds to me very misleading...

Is auto backup the default with Google Photos? It wasn't on my current s21 (I know because I chose not to enable it), and it would seem very dodgy to me (and possibly illegal in Europe - I don't know about the US) for them to make "we'll keep a copy of every image you take" the default, especially on a pre-loaded app.

(Also do Huawei devices even come with it pre-installed? It may not be there unless actively chosen).

Unfortunately "why did this happen?" is a very difficult question to answer. Different devices come with different software, and then people install different apps on them. I've never heard of this, but I've never owned a Huawei MediaPad so don't know what file cleaning or device management software they install, or what other apps you have installed, or how any of that is set up. Were all the lost files in one place, e.g. a "Downloads" folder? If so it just needed some utility to treat that as temporary storage and clean it up (again, I've never seen that happen, but I've always personally regarded Downloads as a temporary storage area, and anything I want to keep I will move out of there to "its proper place". But the point is that if you just left stuff there it only required something to empty that one folder to explain everything you have seen).

Hi,
I need your help. I have paired pixel 4 API 31 with Wear OS Large Round API 30 in Android studio. In device manager beside names of devices there is an icon which says: Paired and conneceted.

Also in Wear OS app on Pixel 4, it says: Emulator, Connected via Bluetooth.

For example if I try to change watch face, i click three dots and i click set on watch
but nothing happens...

the only thing which works, if I click extended controls, and for example i click
Phone, and I click send msg. This works as msg normally comes also on smartwatch
and if I reply to this msg from smartwatch, this also works...

Please can you help me why other functions like changing watch face from Wear OS app is not working ?

I need that so that i can try my app for changing watch face.

Do I need to edit some other settings or what ?

Thank you

Samsung have started to roll out the June update for the S21 series.

I am using built-in software. Nothing from 3rd party.

Its a stock sound of some sort. As I said, I've had it happen on multiple Android phones and OS versions, and it just starts happening all of the sudden. This is the first I've been able to record it.

It's random enough that safe mode won't help. I could have the phone on for days and nothing, then one day it just does it for about 2-4 min or so, then stops. I'd have to operate in safe mode for a month or more.

But when it happens, its annoying AF. That's why I'm asking.

want to install any modern browser

Click to expand...

ok your tablet came out in 2012:

there is no "modern browser" that will work on your device.....rooted or non-rooted. your device does not have the operating power to run higher android os. i would look into getting a new device.

well your phone Galaxy J7 Nxt came out in 2015. its very old now. so current apps may not run as well on your phone. you will find that weird things like this may happen more often as the phone gets older. if the youtube app works just fine, i would just use that going forward. i see no fix for this issue.....especially if you uninstalled and then reinstalled chrome and you are still having issues. there is no phone setting that will fix this......so.....either get a new phone, or deal with using the youtube app.

I used to have the America Online 'You've got Mail!" alert as my text tone. Once I also had a Star Trek LCARS theme (the UI of The Next Generation onwards) that included the computer voice alerts. I had it saying stuff such as 'Incoming transmission!' for incoming calls, and 'Warning! Deterium levels are fluctuating beyyyyyoooonndd acceptable tolllllerrrrrances' for low battery alerts. In the early 2000s and into late 2012 I was extremely heavy into Star Trek. Pretty much all the series at the time. I got so involved that aside the theme I even had Tasker + AutoVoice set up to do a local offline computer voice assistant, using sound effects and voice clips from the Enterprise computer.

Currently my phone has the Galaxy SII sounds set up from the ringtone to the text tone. They're like traditions for me.

new big update: choose custom app list

Still lasts longer and doesn't look like every other crossover on the street. It was also far more comfortable on a long trip. Modern cars have too many LCD screens burning my retinas and they are not comfortable on a long trip at all. Numb butt is a common issue and pain in the back. They don't make cars comfortable today. They're just computers on wheels, and all look the same with the same choice of bland colours.

Is it so wrong to want variety back in the world? I suppose you prefer it Klaus Schwab's way, where everything is a 'modern' homogenized mess, where 'you will own nothing and be happy' while having everything on a subscription model, and all vehicles must be electric and limit mileage where seeing a distant relative is now a thing of the past (I would never see my girlfriend again since she lives 530 miles away from me, and no EV can go over 250-350 without an 8-hour recharge cycle and you're not getting that on the interstate) and I want nothing in my vehicle connected to any cloud, forced software updates on me, or worse, being monitored by God-knows-who, I've heard stories of Tesla owners who had their range artificially limited due to 'unauthorized mods' and who knows? Maybe I have an opinion that's a bit right of wing and they limit my mileage so I can't 'spead hate speech' which is really speech that someone doesn't like these days. Me outright saying 'i think deer hunters are no different from Ted Bundy' might get that EV they want to force on me to no longer go past 60 miles.

I am sorry but I will end my own life before succumbing to that hellscape of a world. Black Mirror is supposed to be a warning, not a user guide for governments.

FYI EVs and banning incandescent bulbs ain't gonna stop climate change. Not when at least 18% of greenhouse gas emissions (if you trust the ag lobby's figure, the world bank claims it's at least 51%) comes from animal agriculture alone, which is more than all forms of transportation combined. The whole 'zero carbon' can't exist in the modern world without us giving up electricity and going back to a 19th Century lifestyle, and even then you'd have carbon emissions. People today are nuts thinking they can achieve that, especially when many today consume more than ever in the past--look at the people who can't go a couple of years without getting a new smartphone that isn't any better than their old one.

I have been seeing several drives which they say are USB C which is what I have but most say the S/W is for Windows. I have ordered a Blu-ray drive which uses USB C. Only because in the comments did someone say it will work with Android. I guess I will have to wait and see

Found the perfect distro for that laptop. Apparently, Q4OS uses a DE known as Trinity that looks straight out of 2008. Out of the box it's got a default theme that resembles Windows 10, but has a ton of built-in themes that can restore classic KDE3 UI design, and comes preloaded with all the period correct apps such as Konquerer, Kmail, Amarok, and Synaptic. Unfortunately, it doesn't include or support IceWeasel, an older Firefox clone. It instead came with Quantum-Firefox which I hate and promptly uninstalled.

Not just Kitkat, in Marshmallow those apps are also white. The settings menu is also white, and the Verizon variant has no Samsung Internet browser (just Chrome). Now some AT&T variants have a dark settings menu, and some different UI designs for the phone dialer, but that is on both Kitkat and Marshmallow. The only things they added or changed in Marshmallow are the icon frames, floating action buttons, and the Material dialog boxes. Everything else was pretty much untouched. I think the S4 got more changes when it got Lollipop.

Can anyone reecommend an app that will let me create and export a simple list of all my apps? I want to be able to use it to search if any of my other apps do things like the Weather app

Hi everyone. I am still trying to build a database app with a RecyclerView. I have followed a tutorial from here:
The app runs, creates the database, and saves records. Note that the name is the primary key so you cannot save duplicate names. My problem with this is the same as the first app I tried to build. That is, when I try to view the data, it only shows the first record. The format of the display is OK but only the first record is shown. I can't seem to figure out what triggers a new row in the RecyclerView. I have attached a text file containing all the code for the various parts of this demo. I could surely use some help in figuring out what's missing.

Thanks
