What is the grossest thing you have.....

When I was in the P.I. (Philippines) I opened a bottle of San Miguel beer and took a big swig and all of a sudden I felt a small lump go down my throat and the beer tasted the way a dead animal smells. My gag reflex kicked in I purged !!! To this day some look at me weird everytime I open a bottle of anything to drink I smell it first.

Pixel 2 XL OTG not working after Dev. Option changes

If USB debugging is enabled you could see whether you can use ADB to copy data over USB. Or attach a flash drive to the USB socket and copy stuff to that. Wireless options are available, they're just slower.

I'm thinking about this because you want to back up everything you can. If this is an obscure settings issue a factory reset will fix it, but that obviously deletes the data you wish to save.

Virus, bug ?

Looks like something trying to open an ad that it can't connect to.

What apps did you install or update in the few days before it started? Because if this is popping up at random times, rather than when you try to open a particular app, you may have an adware app on your phone (which could be a new one or it could be a previously OK one has changed with an update). Though it's worth clearing all of your browser caches just in case it's simply an advertising script that was downloaded from some site you visited.

Increase phone display refresh rate by lowering resolution?

If your phone's Settings >> Display menu doesn't have a lot of options to change the resolution, that could be an indicator that particular model might have a hardware limitation regarding the integral video chip/GPU. Or it could be a software issue where the manufacturer of the phone or the video chip just doesn't opt to provide a lot of user-alterable controls due to all the user interface issues that result in changing things like resolution on-the-fly. Don't forget that with PCs there's a big difference between the old, dated CRT refresh and resolution issues (analog) and newer, current LCD and LED displays (digital). Also, while a PC can have bulky heat sinks and heat dispersion devices (fans, water-coolers, etc.) to keep a video chip from cooking itself to failure, with smartphones they're essentially sealed units -- tiny openings for the microphone, charging port, maybe a headphone port, with waterproofed phones even those openings have rubber or silicone seals and gaskets; plus there's very, very tight tolerances so any air gaps are minimal (no moving air, nor any fans) at best so any heat dispersion is done mostly by conduction.
Anyway, you might be able to tweak the resolution using a 'Smallest width' option (accessible depending on the model of phone) in the Developer's Mode menu, specific directions here:

Just be judicious and make changes gradually so you don't make the display unusable.

How far back should I provide support?

Hi All,

I recently complete development of my first app in the google play store but it doesn't run on my partner's galaxy s6. Should I work to support a phone that old? Maybe it's not the phone or the age, maybe it is something else? Care to kick the tires on this relaxation app?

Let me know if it does or doesn't run on your android device, thanks in advance!

Firebird vs Camaro

Boy, that's a good question. Yeah, Pontiac died after the 2008 recession reorganization, but had some really nice sporty cars. Would it sell? I have a no idea, but I'll tell you this, that auto makers are discontinuing really fine sedans because they are not selling. Many, if not most people, are buying SUVs. I look down the highway and see nothing but big boxes on the road. It used to be that if you owned and SUV you could easily find your car in a crowded parking lot. No more. They are all SUVs and are many look alike. If you have a sedan? Good luck trying to find it in the sea of these SUVs.

Do I think the Pontiac would sell? Not enough. I don't know.

Galaxy Sensors

Because the phone is making a measurement where you are standing at that time, while those other services are making broad-brush predictions about a relatively broad area at some assumed standard altitude?

You could always check the phone against a barometer (if you have access to one you know is reliable), to get an idea of how accurate its reading is.

Hiding root status is safe or not?

What do you mean by "safe"?

If a device is rooted then user-installed apps can run with admin privileges. This means for example that another app can access the banking app's data - that's why they regard this as a security risk and won't run if they detect that the phone is rooted.

Rooting is double-edged as far as security goes. It gives you more capabilities & more control, so if you know what you are doing you can add protections you couldn't without it. But it also bypasses some built-in protections, and if you are careless and install some malware it can do things it wouldn't otherwise be able to. Personally I'd say that if you are not knowledgeable about this stuff and prepared to be vigilant (one or other by itself is not enough) you are safer not rooting.

Whatsapp Web via mobile internet modem

Hi!

I recently got a mobile 4G Modem as my main internet connection due to moving to a more rural area. The internet coverage is great, everything works. download free ringtone at: https://ringtonesfree.info/

BUT. The modem fails to run whatsapp web, when both - PC and phone are connected to it. When refreshing the web page on the PC, it says "Trying to reach phone. Make sure your phone has an active internet connection."
When only PC is connected to the modem, but the phone is using it's own data - everything works flawlessly. Mp3 ringtones download at: phoneringtones.info

The provider doesn't see any problems on their end.

So, has anyone had the same problem? Are there any suggestions to try?
Of course, I have tried to restart all my devices. Android ringtones: https://klingeltonemp3.info/
