Usb Drivers for Mac

B
OK, so I tried it with another device this morning and it works fine. So, the problem must be with the device I am trying to connect (Samsung Tab A 10.1) and it doesn't like usb to USB c cables. One thought that crosses my mind (if it can be called a mind) is that it might be possible wirelessly with something like AirDroid.

Nullifying an action in ADB

LV426 said:
Do you know there's a setting in the Developer Options to do this - 'Force activities to be resizable'

Alternatively you can try using a value of 0 on your ADB command, that should revert the behaviour back to default state.

Yes, I know this fact. I had in fact disabled D.O. and deactivated that setting. However the icons persist. Do you have any idea of the reason for all this? Perhaps does the above command, given after having used (i.e. activated) the setting in D.O., force to maintain the freeform support enabled? Now I'm going to try your hint. Many thanks.

Edit: it works good with value 0.
many many thanks

How do I become NOT a "Lurker" ?

LG3? LG G3?

Yes. My initials are LGIII . Coincidence ? I used to have LG 3 as my license plate and would always get asked if I was an LG rep. Ok, get this..... My rate in the Navy was Boiler Tech. If I used my initials AND my rates initials as my plate, it would totally take on a new meaning today. LGBT .... Um.....''not that there's anything wrong with that.''

Apps Hello Everyone

Holo Deck you say? Hey I could get on board with that. Make it so! ;)

Seriously though, if you do have some original ideas for new games, then more power to you. The mainstream games industry appears (to me anyway) to be running out of creativeness and innovation.
Or maybe it's just that nobody wants to take a risk these days. After all, most of the AAA titles cost millions to develop.

I don't play much games, but I see so many of the android games are just ripoffs of Bejewled and others from that era a few years back. I think truly new game ideas would have a decent chance to get some traction.

Virgin mobile to straight talk number port please help

svim
Porting over a phone number from one carrier to another carrier has to be done on their end so there isn't a lot you can do on your phone or even logging into your accounts using a web interface. Have you tried contacting someone at Straight Talk to check on the changeover status? Are you sure your account with your previous carrier is paid up and there isn't anything like an early termination fee or number porting fee involved?

New Terminator movie, and other warmed over stuff

GameTheory
LV426 said:
It did, a little bit, but I expected something more. See below..



On first viewing I thought it was dire, but that was due to my big disappointment about what I actually expected the movie to be like.

it was a gore fan pleaser that's for sure. More chest busting etc. Dramatic of course, but we've seen it before.
No, what I was hoping for, and what I thought was going to happen, was a focus on the 'Engineer' race, who created the ultimate weapon of mass destruction - the pathogen which causes such catastrophic mutation. At the end of Prometheus, when Shaw and David took off for the Engineers' homeworld, I thought the follow up movie would continue on that story. But unfortunately we saw very little of the Engineers, other than their final demise, in flashback.
I mean, why did they create the weapon? And at the start of Prometheus, we saw an Engineer ingest some of the substance, and that had completely the opposite effect, by seeding life on Earth. It was in fact a life giver. So there were presumably two types of the substance. Were there two factions/tribes of Engineers? I thought all this would be resolved by Covenant, but it didn't answer any questions.
So I think there's so much more to this story, and it doesn't have to be more of the same. I wonder if Ridley Scott wanted to tell that story, but was overruled by the studio? Who knows.

Dang, when you put it that way... You have now got me interested in seeing both movies again as my memories of them are very vague. But, from your description, it does sound like a missed opportunity for the studio.

edit:
Unless it's a highly anticipated sequel, I usually approach a movie with little expectations. It saves me from big disappointment.

App to notify people who rescue you of allergies?

Thank you for this. The only time I saw the pop-up was when I first set it up--and didn't remember seeing that.

I'm glad it worked for your mom. Is she okay now?
Click to expand...

Thank you.

Yeah she's fine now. This happened in 2012. She was a rear passenger and the car was t-boned on the side she was sitting.

I do still recommend the bracelet, simply because it's the standard and closer to full proof. The phone can be damaged or lost in an accident or the first responders might not be trained to look on a locked phone.

Weird screen thing

Hadron
If it shows up on a screen shot it's not burn in, but is some sort of software glitch. If you have to photograph the screen to show us it is probably a hardware defect of some sort (as noted burn in shouldn't be visible on black).

This is because a screenshot isn't a copy of what is coming out of the display, but of what is being sent to the display controller. So if the screen is damaged a screenshot will still look perfect if you view it on an undamaged display.

RAM consumption with empty application

If minimising memory consumption is your priority, then I would suggest that a memory managed language such as Java isn't the right solution. You may be better off coding this as a native application in C or C++.
That way you have much more control over the memory allocation, and you don't incur the vast overhead of the VM runtime.
A native app will have a much smaller memory footprint.

Keyboard Not working

ocnbrze
so it could be either a software or hardware issue. try rebooting the phone or clear out cache for the keyboard. if it is still happening then try going into safe mode. if it is still happening then your last resort is to do a factory reset. if all of those things do not work then, it is a hardware issue and you need to get it fixed.
