I mean if there's a picture on a website, in email, etc., and it's too small. Some can be resized easily and some can't. I'm looking for a way to make them all enlargeable.

If you're trying to enlarge the image within the website or email, pinch to zoom has worked well for me. Just put 2 fingers on the screen and split them apart. Thumb and index usually work best.

Edit:
I got ninja'd

As mentioned, price varies per device. Have you tried getting pricing from different services online?

This has become a shady industry so I just stick with DoctorSIM which I trust, but I think your device will be at least $12 with them, if not more.

Just get pricing from different services and see if one meets your pricing requirement or comes close. Also you can check your local mall, there's usually a couple of phone shops with unlocking services.

Hello I'm using Firebase real-time database in my app, the problem is that I can only read from the database when the database has changed through the onDataChange event.
I need to read from the database at any given moment or get a DataSnapshot instance from DatabaseReference, any suggestions?

Odd, must be your variant of S8 as what I have read it would appear that the S8 does have the Samsung Voice input app.

I've had another dig around and cannot find the app on either the Samsung store or the play store, so it must be a system app that only currently gets updated with OTA updates.

You could however try a mirror site to grab the app and see if it works with your S8. Upto you:

I just checked a few of my apps set to min SDK 19 and targeting the latest 29. For me they all support 11k+ devices with no significant drops in between releases.

I recently increased my min sdk from 15 to 19 and even then the device support only dropped by about 1,400 devices.

Dropping from 9k to 3k is quite a large drop.

Could it be that your new app version is now supporting hardware not available in all android devices? If the answer is yes, then this should explain the drop. I can't give you a precise answer, but you'll need to assess the differences between your new and older release to find your answer.

I do believe that there are more budget devices out in the world than higher end ones. So targeting higher end hardware should cause a big drop in device support.

Thanks for the response and great suggestion. Turns out it was new hardware requirements as you suggested. The compass was the big limiting requirement. Some of the new features require the compass sensor, but I'll update the app to only support those features on devices that are so equipped and make it as not required, e.g.,

<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.sensor.compass" android:required="false" /> in Android manifest.

Interestingly when requiring the android.hardware.sensor.compass only 3796 devices were listed as supported and after making the requirement false 10801 devices were supported, which means that 7005 devices were listed as not supporting the compass sensor, 65% at the time of this writing. Found that a little shocking.

Side note, it was a little time consuming to create new APKs to upload just to see the changes, I tried looking for resource tool where I could paste in a hardware specific requirement to see how many devices support it but didn't find anything. Similar to Can I use... for web developers looking for compatibility of JS and CSS across browsers for example the navigator APIs https://caniuse.com/#search=navigator Is something like this available in the developer console for android developers and I overlooked it? If not, this would make an awesome feature.

Just FYI, since your question has nothing to do with the thread you've posted in, it would've been better to create a new thread. There's always a link to do that near the top of the page when you're on a board, like this one, Android Help. Adding a clear subject and fully describing your question is the best way to get help.

You've said that your screen times out in 15 seconds and 25 seconds. Regardless, if you tell us which device you have, and its Android version, we'll try to help you fix it.

This type of thing doesn't depend on Android version but on what the particular manufacturer included.

The old "move to sd" thing from Android 2 was actually deprecated in Android 4. Many manufacturers chose to keep including it in many of their devices, but it's up to them which devices they put it in. To be honest it was always a bit rubbish: it only moved part of the app, none of the app's data, and if the app had any widgets they would stop working the next time you rebooted.

In android 6 the option to "format SD as internal" was introduced, but here not all manufacturers chose to include it. Funnily enough it was flagships that were less likely to have it: I think that manufacturers were worried that using the SD card that way would impact the performance of their phones, and then the phone would be blamed by ignorant users who didn't understand that it was a result of their actions and their sales would be hurt as a result. That one does let you use the SD card more effectively, but at the cost of encrypting it so it cannot be used in any other device (and a lot of apps being broken if the SD card fails).

Oops, missed that. My bad.

Hi, my Note 10+ is up to date as of today, 6 Oct. 2019.

I have a suggestion \ complaint regarding Smart Select with the S Pen.

I go to extract text to place in memory and that works just fine. I extract the text and am given a choice to Copy or Share. So far, so good.

I press Copy and the selected text is save to Clipboard. I am then forced to press Back on the Navigation Bar three times before I can proceed further. This issue also existed on my Note 9 as well. Smart Select functions as it should but it is always mildly annoying that I am forced to press Back three times. I trust I explained this well.

Is this a known issue ... or is it just me?

Is there any way to add a menu shortcut to the home screen or some other way to go directly to "text shortcuts"?

Now I get there this way...

settings >
general management >
language and input >
samsung keyboard >
predictive text >
text shortcuts >

My phone is actually called a Samsung Galaxy J7 Sky Pro

Thank You

Try your USB OTG in another device to see if it is faulty.

It's 6 to 8 years since any of the members contributing to this thread have visited, so I don't expect you will get an answer.

The popular "SMS Backup and Restore" will do the job though.

I can believe their statement about them not knowing how to use it which would (in turn) cause the frustration to throw it
But anyway i got an email about 3 hours ago confirming no one has picked it up in the last 2 weeks and the offer of the phone came up so im going to pick it up later on...

below is a photo of it when i first found it (meizu m3s)

Yeh, send it for recycling. Quite frankly I don't think hardly anyone wants a rather busted China version Meizu.

Do the external speakers work?

No there using there software against them in some way I've read the results.bin file located in the omega folder is there a way i could send you files i have a copy of all the scripts the guy left behind on how he did this they used busybox to carry out most of the commands i can also tell you witcg ones were the company and witch ones he altered do u have email

For the most part, Your phone number with area code will show on the bill as sender or receiver, regardless of where You are. As long as your ISP remains the same and/or use the same sim card. Now, other data configurations on your phone may or may not do what you are asking. For example if you use roaming, a 'mock location' setting or app, or if you reset your 'network operator', change apn and such.. Your bill will say, 'cellullar caller' , 'Tmobile user or tmo to tmo', it may also just say the devise's name. I've investigated this very issue on my own Tmobile bill earlier this year and those are my results. As to the specifics on how or why well, like I mentioned before, your phone settimgs as well as the device's settings of the party you are communicating with. Sorry, if my answer wasn't very straight foward. Hope it helps, though.

i agree. i would definitely reach out to google again

I unfortunately do not see the option to create/add a new APN on my device's APN page (https://imgur.com/a/mxkdAPg). Am I doing something incorrect?

Click to expand...

On my APNs page, there's a big plus sign near the top right corner of the screen--which I don't see on yours! So, no, I don't think you're doing something wrong, but something -is- wrong.

Sorry, I wish I could help.

I knew when I did it but didn't know what I did. I took me a couple of tries before it worked but now I remember what I did --accidentally. Why I ask??? Hope I can remember this. It was driving me crazy.

Yes on there just wanted the Beta ....... seems to be working ok so far. But i just didn't want to stuff the phone as I"m not used to sideloading

First step in troubleshooting I think is try another pair of earbuds or headphones. And that should eliminate if it's the phone or the earbuds that are at fault.

Yes KingRoot already tried: it just doesn't go at the end of the process, keeps blocking at some point.
Will try iRoot right now, even if those are not trusted apps.

Actually the problem is bigger than that: the phones keeps randomly playing sort of a "notification sound" no matter if the phone is on plane mode or silent mode.
The phone keeps playing an annoying "beep beep" sound in the middle of the night without any reason.
That's why I want to mute the original audio file of this sound.

What about the auto fill service?

There you go! Sounds good to me.

androrat is a malware software from what i understand....which is not much....lol

just curious as to why you think that folks here would know how to run the program? maybe check reddit, 4chan or 8chan.

i still do not know why you need this info? android in generally pretty safe. as long as you are careful with what you download you should not have any issues with malware like androrat. just check permissions for the apps that you download....keep to apps that appear first when you do a search.

plus i just googled androrat and came up with tons of info on it.
