Transfering game datanfrom iphone

Hadron
It really depends on where/how the data were stored. If they are backed up to iTunes you can find them with a file explorer on your computer. The real question is whether the app itself has any ability to import data, i.e. whether if you can dig these data out and copy them to the phone the app has any facility to read them, is the first question. You can probably work that out from the app's settings. If it has then the question is whether iTunes stored them in a format that the app can read in that way. I have to say that I think the first is unusual, the second very unlikely indeed.

As @ocnbrze says, Apple aren't really interested in helping you move to another platform. So your best bet would be if the game developer included a backup option themselves, which by now would have to be a cloud based one.

Help GPS - only battery saving mode is available?

Hadron
This is what I'd expect if the device didn't have a GPS chip or antenna, but specs claim it should have. And I can't imagine anyone bothers to make a fake Alcatel.

All I can think of is to find out whether you can get the stock firmware for the device and reflashing it (tools for this depend on the manufacturer, and I'm not familiar with Alcatel devices). Or, if you bought it recently enough, take it back on the grounds that it is either defective or does not match the spec it was sold as having.

Any Android Apps that can record internal audio?

T
I have a Nvidia Shield in which I use Shou Video Recording to record my gameplay or what i'm doing(similar to capture cards) ringtone free

The Issue is that the App doesn't allow direct audio recording from the shield, and the closest thing would be the "Mic option"(which unfortunately records the sound of my button presses as well)

So I was wondering, is there a separate app that can record audio directly from the shield, or any android device?without worrying about any noise from the background? As well as recording from the background of the Android phone? Meaning if I'm playing a game, the app will still be internal audio recording the games sound

are you sure you want to send this text?

No, it's not about drunk texts, this is a serious issue for me. I have prediabetes so my blood sugar drops after a few hours making my hands very shaky. Also, I'm often up at night typing texts that need to go out in the morning and saving them as drafts till I get up in the morning just because I'm really busy. I can't count how many times I have had a message about work go out at 2:30 AM and ticking everybody off.

We've been developing a new app but when we sideload or use early access the app icon does not show up anywhere on phone.
Click to expand...

I have to ask. Did you add the icon in the Manifest?

XML: 
android:icon="@drawable/icon"

By the way, we have an app development section where all the devs hangout...

Help Fastboot commands freezing

GameTheory said:
I don't know about Arch, but in Debian based distros the android-tools package contains outdated versions of adb & fastboot.

You should get these tools directly from google's repo...
https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-linux.zip

Now, I'm not saying this will fix your issue, but it's worth a look since you have a modern device that may require a more updated fastboot binary.

If you try it, make sure it's in your ${PATH} and that it's called instead of the Arch version.
Click to expand...
I am sure that the android-tools in Arch is up to date (because Arch is a rolling release distro). I tried what you said but the situation is mostly the same.
Commands like
Code: 
fastboot reboot
now magically works, but the command for flashing the recovery still does not work.

Bluetooth Battery Popup

C
I'm having the same issue with both my Jabra 45e headphones AND my Bose Soundsports. It has to be a problem with Android as those are both managed by different apps. I'm on a Note 9, this has been happening for almost the entire time I've had the phone. Also, CLEARING THE CACHE DOES NOT WORK, ONLY A FULL REBOOT WILL STOP THE POPUPS.

Need to Know How to Transfer Game Data From iPhone to BlueStacks for Legendary

Osman Zakir
I found this before: https://n3twork.zendesk.com/hc/en-u...ansfer-my-account-from-one-device-to-another- ; but on my BlueStacks app I see something different: there's no button that says "Link Google Play". I see "Unlink Device" and a button to sign out from my Google Play account. And I know the data isn't transferred because I don't have the same game state (including the cards, relics, and the number of coins and gems) that I do on my iPhone.

Charging Problem

svim
Please state what power adapter are you using. It's the charger that provides the power to recharge the battery, if you're using an older 5 watt adapter (5 volt, 1 amp) that will be a limiting factor. Most newer power adapters are now at least 10 watt (5 volt, 2 amp).
Just to get a sense of scale, an E4 has a 2800 mAh battery (or 2.8 amp/hour) so, to split hairs, even a 2 amp charger will be putting out a slightly less than optimal amount of power to be in parity with battery's capacity, but practically is adequate for most situations.

But if you do have an at least 10w power adapter, has this problem been happening for a while now or did it just start happening recently? If recently, have you restarted your phone? A reboot often solves a lot of one-off glitchy problems.
A plus point with an E4 is has a user-replaceable battery if that becomes a last resort option.

Intro:

In a land far, far away in the east beyond the high mountains and blue hills in a dwarfs realm extends the treasure caves…

Pattern password

MrJavi
Princeton Johan Moultrie said:
Here's a great suggestion I just came up with.

This is for Android Pattern Security.

What about a 3 way pattern password system that allows the person to make 3 different patterns, that require a person to get on their phone.

Here's the thing, sound proofing only does so much and when your out and about, you don't people getting a hold of your phone know your pattern password.

There's only so many ways that can made with a pattern lock and the way programming is, you don't want certain people in your stuff for for good reason.

Let's continue.

It would be a great suggestion to set a timer for it, once a day, by our means, to make, create, set a timer for the 3 way pattern daily check in.
It also provides, increased security measures if they, set up their password for when their phone power's off, (just in case it's stolen) and would require whatever that 3 way daily pattern (or more. Should be a limit but around 10 would be cool for some lol) in order to gain access to the phone.

Another great one added with it, would be a freaking, fingerprint scan before or after the pattern sequence lol.
Click to expand...


I see your point and understand added security is alway a good idea. Your idea is creative and a unique approach but reputation of the 3 patterns every time to unlock is not very user friendly. Just use fingerprint as the other suggest. Why complicate when theres a better way? As for me, reson I stopped using payter lock was because it frustrated the hell out of me and that was just one. Im not saying your wrong,
