Not sure just what icon you're looking into but if you go to their respective Play Store pages their icons are shown, or use the Play Store app to go to their sites.

Android 9 in call speakerphone/headphone problem....

Felix Wong
I recently got the Bold N1 also and received the first phone call on it. Speakerphone seemed too quiet. Settings >> Sound >> Sound enhancement >> BesLoudness (Volume booster for speaker) helped a little.

I then tried using the included earbuds with integrated microphone, and the volume was still low.

Regarding the Call Volume in the Sound settings being quieter than Media, Ring, and Alarm on your Pixel 3, that's the case on my Essential PH-1 too (and Bold N1) too. BUT that seems to be because the sound is coming out of the earpiece and is representative of if you are taking a call holding the phone up to your ear. It is not representative of the speakerphone volume.

Despite that "low" Call Volume, the Essential's speakerphone is sufficiently loud. I'm guessing your Pixel 3's speakerphone is sufficiently loud too?

Back to the Bold N1, I'm unsure if the volume on my one phone call was a fluke or not. At least the other person was able to hear me fine and signal strength (Google Fi, which uses T-Mobile) was much stronger than the Essential's, which would often lose connection from where I was calling.

Did you ever come up with a resolution to your speakerphone volume issue?

Disable the "Force Stop" option in the application

Hadron
As an ordinary app developer, I don't think so. This would have to be done within the operating system configuration.

In fact it would be incredibly dangerous if the system let any old developer do this: do you really want adware or just malfunctioning apps that can't be killed? And if it were available like that you can be sure that malware and adware would use it.

IP question

Hadron
The IP address is always assigned by the Internet provider. That's true whether it's WiFi or cellular. If you are on your home WiFi network you will have a local IP address on that network, which is different from your router's IP address (and a website you visit should see the router's address rather than your phone's address within your home network).

It's possible that person you spoke to was confused between your IP address and your phone's MAC address (which is an identifier for the hardware device on whatever network you connect to). It's also possible that they just said something to fob you off - sadly this is not uncommon (either deliberately or because they don't like saying "I don't know").

Gboard - Lefties - Manage Positions Of Buttons (Spacebar mainly)

G
Hello all,

I use my left thumb to hit the spacebar. The emjoi button is on the left side of the spacebar and I ALWAYS hit that stupid emoji button instead of the spacebar.

iPhone you can manage your keyboard and move buttons around. Gboard you cannot. I do not want to use the 'one hand' because the letters are then too small. All I want to do is move the emjoi button to the other side of the spacebar and the spacebar over. I also tried hiding the emjoi button in the options but then it just turns that button to a comma.

I tried developer options, RTL but that doesn't change the Gboard, but it changes other stuff.

Any suggestions?

Fail to install chrome and other apps

Found the solution on rmn2.

Those two entries need to be inserted into build.prop file:

dalvik.vm.dex2oat-filter=interpret-only

Hopefully someone skilled enough (from XDA or Xiaomi/MIUI) will look further into that and try to fix dex2oat so we wouldn't need to disable AOT.

Maybe somebody rooted can try it.

host name

Host name of my phone

If you're asking how to find your phone's hostname, this used to work in a terminal:

Code: 
getprop net.hostname

but when I just tried it, it didn't work.

I think there's an entry somewhere in System Settings, but a quick glance through mine didn't find it.

Just wondering, why do you need your phone's hostname?
