Help Icon showing Over YouTube Videos

@lunatic59 It shows up on all videos, I posted this on Reddit as well and someone there mentioned to turn off quick gestures (motion sense) to "Skip Song" and this has so far fixed the issue for me.

@dontpanicbobby that was just a random YouTube video I pulled up to show the issue in the top right where when the video is in fullscreen all icons on the top bar fade away as normal except for the battery icon. It would persist over the video and become an eye sore.

Apple logo appearing n restarting.

huh? that's weird. did you give the phone to someone? maybe a prank? did you download any apps recently? is that the only time you see the logo? can you post a picture of it?
Yesterday I restarted my phone to take the logo's photo it wasn't showing the logo and and below the Mi logo it was written android then I powered off and powered on it wasn't showing android below the mi logo and apple logo was appearing.

Exception in plugin Android Support

Hi

I'm developing an native android app, using c/c++.
I use cmake to construct my project for android studio.
But when I try to open the project with Android Studio,
It immediately outputs an error like this

```

I tried to do lots of things to fix this one, such as reinstalling Android Studio, rebuilding project, Invalidate Cache and Restart, and so on.

Sometimes, I managed to made it work. But after a few of days from that, It's made an error like above again.

Can Anybody know how to fix, or how to trace this bug on IDE?

Thanks in advance.

Shoot video on an Android Phone but I need a "bigger screen"

Hi, I need to shoot video on the Android Phone (Samsung S10) but I need a "bigger screen" whilst shooting the video, is there a workaround for this?

Can I use my Fire Kindle HD8 (7th) as a second screen to my phone whilst shooting the video? How can I do that?

Or will a Samsung Tab S6 tablet / Other Tablet will do that?

Thanks in advance.
this is the best i can come up with: Screen Share it is an app that you can remote control other android devices. not sure how well it works as i just googled it and this is the first one the came up.

Help Please Help Me With My LG G8 ThinkQ!!!

I chose this phone over Samsung this time because of the the incredible memory that it comes with, but it has features that are really frustrating me and I just can't figure them out or change things. Here is a run-down:


Date and Time:

I can't keep the time on the 24 hour clock. Every time I turn my phone off, it reverts the settings back to the 12 hour clock.

I can't find a way to have the date read DD/MM/YY(YY)


Keyboard Functions:

The predictive text is a joke compared to Samsung's. They give you only 3 words and most of the time the words suggested are a joke and you're pretty much forced to type in each individual word, along with adding a space after each word. The predictive text also doesn't complete words for you if you type a partial word and hit the space bar. Not to mention that a lot of the predictive text doesn't make any sense when typing words. You try typing one word and it gives you a completely different set of word suggestions completely irrelevant to what I'm needing.

Also, each key doesn't provide you with symbols and foreign language letter, it's simply symbols. While it's nice to have the symbols, it's frustrating that the foreign language letters are not provided.

Emojis. What gives? The Emojis on the Galaxy, at least my old Galaxy A5, that FB translates to their own are so much better than what the LG G8 ThinQ has. On the same token, the Emojis for general for the G8 ThinQ for chatting online and within texting are equally as bad.

Is there any way to change all the above to make it feel, look, and function like my beloved features that
my Samsung Galaxy A5 provided?


General Functionality:

I don't understand what the notch at the top is for, but when I try to change it so that it doesn't exist anymore, it keeps reverting to showing the notch again each time I turn my phone off or restart it. How can I get it to function like my Galaxy?


Camera and Gallery:

The gallery is so difficult to use and it keeps sending me to my photo editing apps to do the quick touch-ups that I'd normally do in my Samsung Galaxy gallery such as filters and resizing. How can I make this like the Galaxy?


I'm sure that there will be more that crops up, but this is all for now.

Thank you!!!!
date/time:
-clear cache for clock
-not sure how to get the date in that format. maybe look for another clock widget

keyboard:
maybe try another keyboard app

emoji's:
there are plenty emoji's apps on the play store that may work for you

general functionality:
do not know, i do not have your phone.

camera and gallery:
for me i use google photos for everything. i love it cuz it backs my photos to the cloud so that i do not have to worry about backing it up or worrying about losing my photos.

WiFi Messaging

Consumer Cellular says they support WiFi calling on some phones, which means they might also support SMS over WiFi, but I couldn't find a definite answer.

If your phone doesn't support WiFi calling with them I'd guess WiFi SMS also wouldn't work.

I believe it's actually called Generic Access Network(GAN). Which means if your carrier and phone supports WiFi Calling, then you should have SMS/MMS over WiFi service as well.

It's not something I've had experience with myself, as GAN isn't provided in this country(China) AFAiK.

Root Rooting

Given that it's the US carriers who are the reason US Notes are locked down hard, I think it's unlikely to change in the foreseeable future.

I just hope that when the last CDMA networks are turned off and Samsung start using Exynos in the US(*) they don't use that as a reason to lock everyone else's bootloaders equally hard.

(*) The reason you get Snapdragon SoCs is because it's cheaper for Samsung to use Qualcomm's chips than to license their CDMA IP. Most of the world doesn't use CDMA, so we get Samsung's own chips, which is more profitable for Samsung. So once the North American CDMA networks are turned-off it's pretty obvious that Samsung will switch to Exynos there as well.

I'm always amazed when I read comments on the internet like "man, that new Exynos is falling behind yet again. When are Samsung going to stop this and give us Snapdragon as well?". As if Samsung (or any corporation) care about delivering what a few knowledgeable enthusiasts want rather than what makes most money from the masses?

Bigpond on gmail in windows 10

Depending on how Telstra has authentication setup, sometimes for a mail client like the gmail app you need only your user name and password, but for webmail (chrome on Windows 10) you need to type your full email address as your user name, or vice versa.

Also some accounts may need to enable webmail access in they user account settings. I would assume you'd have access to that, but maybe not. Have you contacted bigpond about it?

RCS messaging available now!

Courtesy of the guys over on Android Central, a method of enabling the Google Messages RCS feature on your phone... now!

Users like myself, in the U.K. and France, have been using this RCS, (Rich Communication Services), for the last 4 months and Google have been slowly running it out to other countries since then. However, since Google Messages RCS does not rely on your carrier, thankfully, you can enable it yourself.

Just follow the instructions in the following link...

Want RCS chat on your phone right now? Here's how to enable it


Here's a, "How to", video...


Confirmed to be working in U.S.A., Canada and most countries, worldwide.

Multiple tone manager

Your message is a little confusing! :) By "notification time" I'm assuming you meant tone.

You can set different sounds for different apps via System Settings. Look for Notifications, then find your e-mail app in the list; select it, and you should see its sound setting. Select that and you'll be able to choose whatever tone you want. Repeat for your messages app.

If you're having problems with this, let us know!
