Slow wifi hardware

FarmerRichard said:
So I recently got my note 10 . funny it didn't come with an SD card slot . Oh how quirky. Well ok . I can deal with out that Especially considering how much I paid for it. but that's not my biggest problem. since there's plenty of memory in here . Ok moving on .My biggest issue. Slow Wi-Fi speeds.no at first I was contributing this to my router except for all my other devices seemed to work just fine and typically does see the 300 megabits a sec down I have slated from my internet service provider. ... So I'm thinking well can't be my hardware . so it must be my phone . but just to be safe, And therefore not jump to any conclusions. I took it over my buddies house, who has gigabit speeds. Through fiber-optic. And a fiber optic router connected as well through fiber optics. Yeah I know we're all jealous. Right . Bastard. We checked on several laptops.yap that works. And several other devices. All we're receiving at least 600 to 900Mbs all but my note 10.....
It tops out at 120mbs what is a Galaxy plan on doing to fix this. My old phone did much better than that. Maybe I got a bed phone so I take it back to T-Mobile they give me a new one. Same thing. Tops out at 120 megabits per second. I'm thoroughly pissed I thought Galaxy was supposed to have a superior product.

Yep; that's correct,Note 10 Wi-Fi problems. Now you would think Galaxy would want to be superior. But no... they took a step back instead of progressing they digressed . With the recent note 10 flagship. Myself and other customers like me have all started to realize that their Wi-Fi sucks on this device. When asked to comment from Galaxy. We got no response. Tested on both gigabit equipment 10 100 equipment from cable modem to fiber optics all tests were the same . the throughoutput on these things absolutely suck. My lower end cellphones do a lot better. Now the question is Galaxy what are you going to do about this? did I really just spend $900 on a piece of crap. You took a step backwards in technology and for what reason?

I think this is dependant on the channel the your note 10 has connected to most devices connects to Channel 11 based on what is has gathered from your router, however, if not this maybe a hardware limitation or hardware issue...I have a note 10+ and it does have a SD card but your paying for a lower end version of the Note 10

WestCoastRomS For Google Devices

Pixel and XL all the way up. Should be pretty universal. You can add about any google device by using the aosp manifest to create a local. Been swamped at work so its all finally coming together. I have a few xml kinks to work out in custom vendor, so I have not added identity to remotes yet. But until this coming week The base can be synced. Ill post when vendor and tweaks drop and a quick re sync will take care of the rest

Oh, I will stick with PIE until 10 becomes a little more stable. Its really buggy on boot and does not like Custom recovery just yet. Once I can impliment TWRP into 10 ill merge in

Help In run/debug configurations I get error Default Activity not found

Interesting how noone helped you with this thread in 4 1/2 years. I have the same problem. I'll wait a couple of winters and hope to be alive then.

Perhaps no one helped because the people who can help didn't see it on this board. :)

If you're having the same problem, or really any issue involving app development, you might want to post in our Android Development board. That's where developers--and aspiring developers--usually hang out. :D

Bluetooth Serial Monitor for Arduino

A
This is how I am currently taking the information from the SD card and transmitting it over bluetooth:

(I have confirmed it works by installing an app called 'Arduino bluetooth controller' and using its built in terminal which basically is the functionality I am looking for, but without the key the capability of either being able to save the terminal as a txt file or being able to copy the txt on the terminal and then paste it into a txt file myself.)

#include <SD.h>
#include <SPI.h>

File myFile;
String strRead,str;
const int chipSelect = 10;

void setup()
{

Serial3.begin(9600);

Serial3.println("Initializing...");

if (!SD.begin(chipSelect))
{
Serial3.println("SD FAIL");
while(1);
}
Serial3.println("SD DONE");

myFile = SD.open("fuellog.txt");

if (myFile)
{
Serial3.println("fuellog.txt:");

while (myFile.available())
{
strRead = myFile.readString();

Serial3.print(strRead);

//myserial.write(Serial3.read());
}

myFile.close();
}
else
{
Serial3.println("SD FAIL READ");
}
}

void loop()

Question about Moto E4 owens Blutooth issue.

coacharnold
OK I got a crazy bug happening to me and I can't sort it out. Your litterally my last stop in sorting this.

So, I'm running Incipient 14.1-20180902 Unofficial-owens on my Moto E-4-plus .. Its been running great.

A few months ago (July), i got a new car. A 2016 VW Golf with a super cool infotainment system. I paired my phone before leaving the dealer. Phone synced up perfect. Off to the races.

About 2 weeks ago, I was driving listening to audio vie the phone Bluetooth and I lost my connection. "No big deal, I'll re-pair it when i get home" i said

I got home, did the re-pair, and saw that I could change my cars's bluetooth ID . I thought I would be cheeky and change the name of the car to "Tim's VW" . no big deal. THUS began my troubles.

In renaming the car I screwed up the relationships already stored in the car and the phone. I couldn't get the phone to re-pair. It continually came up with a "wrong pass-key" error on the phone. I banged my head on a wall for about an hour - factory - reset the car system which set the name back to the default , my phone immediately paired and all was good... I thought.

I then discovered that my phone contacts hadn't synced. I jumped into settings and had to "check" the contact box in the blue tooth settings.... ok ... should be good togo? nope! ... no contacts ...

I have erased and re erased Bluetooth settings, cache etc etc on the phone.. factory wiped the car a couple times. The phone connects to the car fine, even syncs text messages... still no contacts. I took the car into VW, hoping it was a car issue... nope, they were able to connect and sync an iphone and another android...

So I'm left with the issue being my phone...... I'm lost. Do any of you have any thoughts at all? I'd rather not wipe the phone and start again ... but i'm going nutz

Help Problem clearing the Recently Used apps

markdoc
I recently discovered that different cell phones handle "Clearing Recently Used Apps" differently. Some just clear the apps from the list while the LG V40 does a "Forced Close" on those apps. It is causing a problem with my calendar app, it screws up the reminder alarms. Does anyone know if there is a way to keep the force close from occurring on the single app? (or all apps) I've looked in the phone's settings for the app without luck. I'm discussing with the app's author about including a setting to do that (if possible). Any help will be appreciated.

Help How to opt out the Designed for Families program of Google Play?

James_Watson
James_Watson said:
Hi,

I have a free app available on Google Play. I got an email from Google Play after I submitted the 'Target audience and content' for this app on 'App content' page of Play Console today. It said that my app does not meet their eligibility criteria for the Designed for Families program.

As my app is designed for everyone, I decide not to participate in the Designed for Families program for the app. But I failed to find any options to allow me to opt out the Designed for Families program.

Sign in to my Play Console.
Select my app.
On the left menu, click Store presence > Pricing & distribution.

But in the 'User programs' section, I couldn't find the "Designed for Families".
There are only 'Managed Google Play' and 'Daydream'.

Why is not there a checkbox about "Designed for Families" for me to uncheck?

Thank you in advance.

At last, I contacted the Customer Service of Google Play Developer Console. They accepted my app update.
Probably there is some defect for their developer console and review procedure about the Designed for Families program.

Help Mac not holding onto Bluetooth connection from my OnePlus6

S
Confusing me as well svim. Why it should pair with a 2013 Mac but not 2018 or 2019 I have no idea. I know Apple are upgrading all their Macs form 32 to 64 bit, but all three of those I have used are 64bit so it's not that.
However, yesterday, the mobile suddenly connected again, but not the bluetooth headset. (I've charged the headset so nothing to do with power)
I'll look into the bluetooth adaptor suggestion.

Somtmes when i download a app it opens and immediately crashes, i re install and it does the same thing, i dont think the device isn't relivent since it happens on any device, the apk works on some devices but on certain devices it just opens and immediately crashes, is it a compatibility issue? And is there any way to fix it so it wont crash, already tried clearing cach im also looking for a app that could debug my apps, so it will tell me what made the app crash, it could also be a ram issue right? Ill try to clean my ram and try it again

Debug your apps? Are you a developer, and are having problems with your apps crashing when running on an actual device, rather than in Android Studio?

I'm not a dev myself of course, so can't really help you there.

do not know to much about android boxes, but with android on any device there is no setting that will cause this.

the problem with android boxes is that there are a lot of companies out there and its hard to vouch for good quality boxes. it you really need something like that, i would stick with something more well known like roku, amazon fire stick or my favorite google's chromecast.

i think for both of you guys, i would try a factory reset and see if that fixes things. if not then i hope your devices are under warranty and you can replace it.
