Catalina broke my IDE: Where are the SDKs?

Hadron
I've installed the sdk on a Mac, though I've never found time to use it. I don't see why the platform would matter - unlike Apple, Google have no vested interest in forcing people to buy a particular computer in order to develop for Android.

I'm leaving Catalina for another month or 2 though - wait at least until Christmas, when I'll have time to deal with any problems.

Help Smart Lock on LG G4

I
I have an LG G4, model LGUS991, running Android 5.1.

Smart Lock used to work when I was at home or close to either my smart watch or car infotainment system. Now it's stopped, and I can't restart it.

Lock Screen/Screen Security/Smart lock says "Keep phone unlocked with trusted device or place." It show on-bodyy detection as on, my home as the trusted place, and my trusted devices as my smartwatch and both cars' Bluetooth systems. None of these work, however.

Security/Advanced Settings/Trust Agents shows only "Smart Lock (Google)" which is toggled On.

Help "Ali's webpage AD"

I also have Tutu App, Lucky Patcher, and a pro version of KineMaster I got online. I don't know if these are the problem.

I think either one of those could be the problem, as they do both come from China. I suspect they're probably using Alibaba's data mining and ad services for their monetization. Suggest you unnstall them.

As for Lucky Patcher, that's for doing theft, which is very much frowned upon here on AF. But I do suggest you uninstall it, as it might be the cause of the ads as well.

Up grade or not

I would have been perfectly happy with my Note 8 for another year, possibly longer but the battery was swelling on one side and pulling the phone apart. I don't know why as I am very careful with my phone. Samsung didn't penalize me though as far as trade in goes so I got the Note 10 Plus as replacement. The only thing I don't like is that the fingerprint scanner simply does not see my fingerprints at all. I have very dry skin and apparently have to apply lotion first...every time! That is just not practical. At least the scanner in my Note 8 worked..not great but better than this.

Hi everyone, I have a question, I would like to pick your brains about something: I have the Note 8 and I am thinking about upgrading to the Note 10+, mainly for the screen real estate. I don't make a lot of calls, I don't really use the stylus a lot, I take pictures and videos, but not a lot. I do watch a lot, A LOT of movies and videos. I want to upgrade to the Note 10+ 512 GB. I want to get anybody's opinion. Is it worth getting the Note 10+, 512 GB? Will it perform better that the Note 8? If I trade it in, I will only get about $100 or $300 for it. I have T-Mobile. I believe they are having a promotion now. Any input would be appreciated. Thank you.

Malware

(I put "antivirus" in quotes because there are no Android viruses. There is malware, but "virus" is a specific category of malware, and I hate it when developers misuse terms for marketing purposes.)

Me too. Of course, they're marketing straight to window$ users--those folks who believe that viruses are a nasty, but ubiquitous, part of using computers. :rolleyes:

Linux users, like us, know better. :D

Help how do i bypass antitheft screen lock

Hadron
So this is protection against unauthorised SIM changes (which might be just a simple radio switch you ticked once and forgot about)? I'd expect that if you have a SIM PIN active it would ask for that every time you restart the phone (and I'd not expect a new SIM to have a PIN set).

Have you tried your usual lockscreen PIN or your Google password?

Something creepy happened...

Hadron
That member (who had posted between Danny and Mike, since deleted) was simply copying the last line of my earlier post. Which is what all but one of their posts does (the exception may be copying from a different thread). Some of their posts have links inserted, though not this one.

Draw your own conclusions. I've already invited the mods to draw theirs.

Smartwatch Recommendation? Pebble 2 Replacement?

codesplice
As a user of the first-generation Pebble, yeah, there's not really anything else on the market that comes close - which is kind of amazing considering how long ago that watch was released. My focus lately has been on Wear OS watches... but I do hate how bulky they are and how they've gotta be charged pretty much every night.

I think a Fitbit is probably going to be the closest to the Pebble even without font size adjustments.
