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.

Hi Cheayol! Welcome to Android Forums.

Just a heads-up: you might want to check a post's date before taking time to kindly provide an answer. The OP here was posted three years ago.

I created a short url for Android users: https://android.skytrip.app

Probably should have put the links in the main, whoops!

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?

https://android.skytrip.app

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

Yes, absolutely. it is a messaging app. It's very simple: It takes user input text ---> encrypts the text -----> sends the encrypted SMS ----> decrypts the text ----> outputs text to receiver.

Any games or apps shouldn't do what you're describing. Maybe there's some issue or compatibility problem with the game and your particular phone? Suggest you email and enquire with game's developer about it.

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.

Hey LGee3. I was away Sunday and Monday, so I didn't see your posts. I want to warmly welcome you here. I see you've been doing fun posting and even trying to help answer help questions and for that I want to thank you and encourage you. Thank you and welcome!!!

When trying to flash any stock carrier firmware (Verizon or Tmo) Odin successfully flashes, but then Android System Recovery comes up with the error "Can't open dir '/data/vendor_de' (Permission Denied) failed the resizing-data".

Attached are photos.

How do I fix this?

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.

Good luck with the app.

I moved your thread to the Off Topic section.

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.

I added a unity project inside Android as a library. Inside unity libs folder there are 3 .aar files. I added flatDir to navigate to the path. But android studio showing errors like couldn't find .aar file names.

these are my errors

Please state a question

This is actually normal issue that happens on every ROM based from Lineage OS, but the issue has been fixed on latest patch so make sure to flash new RR

Yes, but in an animated way. And I just want to do it for header

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/

Hello, problem is I have a Samsung Tab A6, and on Google Play store it says it's incompatible, so I cannot find a genuine APK.

what about just going to their website via your web browser? i can't stop you from using any apk's. all i'm saying is that it is risky, so just be careful.

Excellent, thank you so much. You guys have been so incredibly helpful!

Where you get that project?

I am trying to send contacts vcf file as mms from galaxy S7 to another S7, but it appears as text file instead of vcf file in message app even though send as mms option is selected. The message app displayed vcf file in the format below. Due to this, contacts cannot be saved directly.

Begin: Vcard
Version:...
N:...
FN:Tel:0400..
End: Vcard

Has anyone ever see these symptoms before and / or know if there is anything I can do to diagnose / fix the problem.

Thanks in advance.

I guess it's Master Subsidy Lock code. From what I've read on AF about it, it's how Sprint phones in the US are carrier locked. Although "logcat" is an app development thing isn't it?

Do you want to run you're app on an actual phone? If you want to see logcat, the app has to run either on the emulator or an actual phone.

That doesnt work. I have already tried.

Appears the following options:

reboot system now,
apply update from ADB
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update form cache

And in my opinion is because the TWRP app, is not installed or at least there is no record in the mobile of the TWRP. I dont know why.


Any other alternative app to TWRP?

Thanks

I know this is an old thread, but just in case you still need help (and to help anyone else..) There is another recovery, but it sounds like there's an issue with the TWRP install. I would wipe the cache and install a different TWRP version via adb. There are also computer programs that can do all this and more if you can get it to recognise your device. That's been a lifesaver for me in the past.

Hope you got it figured out!
