I recently bought a 'new' Android phone (Pixel 6a). I needed to check the phone's details for a different issue so clicked Settings/About and noticed that the phone number showing was not my number (my wife's does match her's). Does this mean I have been sold a refurbished phone rather than a new one, as described by the Amazon seller?

Hi,
I am trying startActivity function on a set of simple images which are placed to a GridView, but I am getting a suspicious error - see below.
Can someone help me where is problem ?

Here is source code (AndroidStudio 2022.1.1 Patch 1, Java):

Having recently enjoyed the DC Snyderverse (Man Of Steel, BVS Dawn Of Justice, and ZS's Justice League) enough to declare it my Favorite Incarnation of DC in general, and being the gamer for life that I am, I wanted to obtain and play video games based on the trilogy. Unfortunately only one game exists for each movie, but at least they're all playable on Android. I'll have to use an Android emulator to play them though since they were designed for older version of the OS.

Right now I'm using Nox, because that's the only emulator that installed on my computer with no issues. The BVS Dawn Of Justice game was the easiest to install and play, so one of the games is already out of the way. It's Man Of Steel and Justice League VR that I need help with. I obtained both games' APKs and OBB files, successfully installed the APKs, and copied the OBB files to what I've been told is the correct place to put them (./Android/obb/). Neither game started up, even after starting the apps numerous times.

I really wanna be able to play these games, so can anyone here help me with getting them to run correctly? Did I just put something in the wrong place? Or do I need a different emulator? It'd be greatly appreciated...

I know it's simple but I am probably over complicating this
I want to make a calculator with 3 fields required to get the result.
Example:
Field 1: (2)
Field 2: (4)
Field 3: (2)
Result: 4

Explanation:
Calculator takes what ever is entered in Field 1 AND multiplies it with Field 2, Example: (2*4=8)
Than the calculator takes the RESULT of Field 1 and Field 2 AND divides it with what ever is inserted in Field 3, Example: (8/2=4)
In short: 2*4=8/2=4.
Your help would be much appreciated.
So far I have this and I only have the first 2 fields working:

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private EditText etn1;
private EditText etn2;
private TextView appview;

@override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
etn1 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.etn1);
etn2 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.etn2);
appview = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.appview);

}

public void btnshoot(View view) {
int n1 = Integer.parseInt(etn1.getText().toString());
int n2 = Integer.parseInt(etn2.getText().toString());
int sum = n1 * n2;
appview.setText(String.valueOf(sum));

My wife got a new Android phone and want to use some of the ringtones and notification sounds from her old Samsung S8 on it.

But I can't find the ones she wants, I've gone into the ringtones and notification folders but there are only the ones that I've downloaded over the years, but going into a app to choose a notification sound I can see a whole lot of them, but can't find them when I search the phone, is there somewhere else they are hidden??

These are the sounds that came with the S7.

Thank you

I am BUNGHOLE......hear me roar!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our support group has links to everything and until I have a better file host solution that's where u can find it.

We are actively erasing our digital footprint at xda
So we will be dumping loads of content here at AF in the next few weeks.

Using Samsung AO2s. Is there a way to change the background color? I do not mean changing the wallpaper or theme. I use the dark theme because of the glare. Is there a way to change the black background to a color of my choice?

We have a combination microwave/convection oven in our travel trailer, so I bought one to replace our microwave in our house. It's really nice and easy to program

I have a z fold 4. If I am using smart view to cast my TV to my phone, how can i screen record it? When I try to do it the video is just a black screen.

Is there an app that will allow this to work??

I have a Galaxy A03 core. I want to use Macrodroid to to launch an app when power is connected and kill the app when power is disconnected and also turn the screen on or off. Unfortunately, Macodroid requires draw overlay to do this and the A03 core does not allow it - it says it's not allowed because it will slow down the phone. Slowing down the phone would not be an issue for me as the phone is only going to ever run this one app ( Realdash ). I was wondering if there was a custom ROM that would allow me to turn on draw overlay so that I can use this phone for my project. The phone is currently rooted running a rooted Samsung stock android 11. Any advice would be appreciated.

What would be a good small, and preferably cheap Android phone?

Tnx

BRAND NEW DIY TUTORIAL BY LEBIGMAC ! How to ROOT your boot.img with Magisk (for Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra & more)
NOTE: For Android 13. Your bootloader needs to be unlocked for this procedure to work!

1) Download your device's firmware from the internet (check your firmware version in 'About phone' > 'Software version')
Extract and unlz4 boot.img and init_boot.img files from your official stock firmware
unlz4 boot.img.lz4 boot.img
repeat this step for the other file as well
I have attached my original S23 Ultra boot files for your convenience

2) Install the latest official Magisk on your phone. The one I included for your convenience is deprecated already and doesn't work properly! To make it kind of work you can go into Magisk settings and set toasts to 'none' and the prompt to 'grant'

3) Patch both boot.img and init_boot.img inside Magisk app (click 'install' > 'select and patch file')

4) Rename both files to boot.img and init_boot.img respectively (the larger file should be your boot.img)

5) Tar both files with this command:

6) Pull the patched tar file from your device to your computer

7) Reboot phone into Download mode:

8) Execute Odin as administrator in Windows and select your new boot_patched.tar in the AP slot

9) Flash it

10) Enjoy your rooted device

Thank you very much for your support!

Forever yours,

Inserted a new unformatted micro SD card into the 128GB Galaxy Note 9. Went to storage-SD card, and was only given the option to format the card which made it removable or Portable Storage. Looked on Internet and see instructions saying go up to top right 3 dots to select the format. No such option in my Note 9. Removed SD card and inserted into Windows PC and was able to format and access the SD card. It is not bad. (Class 10 v30 I U3). Replaced it in the Note 9 and got same results as before. It is recognized as Portable Storage.

How do I make it Internal Storage?

Android 11 on Moto G power (2021)

I want to list custom info on my lock screen, like 'if found call (my wifes number) plus 5 lines of allergies.

I know how to go to display->advanced->lock screen->add text on lock screen, and I have entered the info.

It works, but shows as a single scrolling line rather then a multi line.

The scrolling line is so slow, the screen dims out and goes away before the entire line is displayed.

While I would be OK with the machine doing an automatic word wrap, I'd rather like to add my own line breaks. Put each allergy on a separate line.

Thanks, Mark

A week or so ago, I purchased a Samsung S23 Ultra as a replacement for my Pixel 3XL. Prior to buying the phone, I reviewed a number of on-line guides about rooting said phone; but when it arrived, I was unable to make any of those procedures work. I posted here and learned that the new Samsung phones cannot be rooted.

My next plan is to get a Pixel 7Pro and root it. I have seen some on-line guides about rooting that phone, but given the experience I just had with the Samsung phone, let me simply ask this: Can the Pixel 7Pro be rooted?

Hope this is the right place. I'm trying to create location sharing between 2 android phones ((mine and child) and an iphone (wife). All 3 should see the location of the other 2 and all 3 should send/receive location alerts. I'm failing miserably.
I've tried location sharing in Life360, Google Maps, and MS Family safety. In all 3, my phone never shows movement. I always appear at hone on the other two devices. The other two devices are inconsistent - sometimes showing correct location, sometimes location is off by a mile, sometimes showing at home regardless of actual location. None send/receive notifications even when one of us enters a location alert area. Best I can tell, all 3 apps were/are set up correctly.
Are there a generic Location Sharing settings for android? That's the only commonality I can see.

Does anyone who has this phone, not the stylus model, know if it has an led notification for calls, emails, and text msgs? Thanks for any help.

I have a Samsung Galaxy A50
It runs Android 11
I also run the Google Contacts app version 4.2.24.508113282
Everything works fine.

I'm trying to understand where physically, the contacts that I create, are stored on the phone.
And woul appreciate a little education.

Scenario one:
Let's say that I create a new contact.
Across the top of the screen, there is a "Save to" value that contains my GMail address by default.
I fill in all of the appropriate information.
I tap on "Save".
Syncing works just fine in that in a moment or two if I go to "contacts.google.com", I can see my newly created contact.
Question:
If I could, where would I look on my phone to find the newly created contact ?

Scenario two:
Let's say that I create a new contact.
Across the top of the screen, there is a "Save to" value that contains my GMail address by default.
I fill in all of the appropriate information.
But this time before I tap on "Save", I tap on my email address in the "Save to" field of the UI.
I get a drop down menu that shows my GMail address as well as "Device".
I choose "Device".
Of note, right below the Device selection the following is displayed. "vnd.sec.contact.phone".
Finally, I tap on "Save".
Where can I find THIS newly created contact on my phone ?
I searched for "vnd.sec.contact.phone" on my phone, but have not been able to find anything with that name.
By the way, this newly created "Device" contact does NOT get synced to contacts.google.com even though I have turned on "Also sync device contacts".
Why would THAT be ?

I got a tablet teclast t40 pro and I would like to add new gestures like two tap to turn on the screen. But this device came with few default gestures.

I went to settings > system > gestures



Is there a way to add more gestures options?

I always considered myself a fair horseshoe pitcher. I always gravitated to the horseshoe game at picknicks and parties. The game seemed fun enough and I was as good or better than most I played with or against. (perhaps I was more sober) Years ago a friend came by and said he passed by a park in town and there were a bunch of horseshoe pitchers playing. We both grabbed our shoes and drove up there to kick some butt. We were immediately in awe of the level of competition we were witnessing. We had stumbled upon the Kansas State Horseshoe Tournament and the A class was currently pitching. I saw horseshoes pitched like I had never imagined. They weren't playing to 21 points but to 40 and a competitor only scored when his opponent happened to only throw one ringer instead of two. I had never witnessed such skill with each player throwing more ringers in a game than I had thrown in my life. Often they would pitch down and then back a number of times before someone missed throwing two ringers.

I had to get involved. I joined the two local horseshoe clubs (one club hosted tournaments and the other leagues) I practiced every chance I could in an attempt to be as good as I had witnessed that day at the park. I even put in an official horseshoe court in my back yard and installed lighting so I could pitch at night. I was all in. Being a doer and not a watcher, I was soon an officer of both clubs. It was rewarding but also demanding. It consumed all of my time taking care of the park's courts (24), running the leagues, organizing tournaments, and trying to keep everyone happy... participants as well as club members. I even talked the city of Wichita into having a novice based tournament as an official event of their annual River Festival Celebration which I hosted for 18 consecutive years. That tournament would see near 300 "back yard" pitchers each year.

Burn out, yep, I suffered major burn out. Though it was fun I got used up. I never improved my game to the A class level. The best year I pitched, I averaged 45% ringers. It wasn't the last year I pitched. I finally walked away from the sport and the obligations. I tried pitching again last summer but between the time of absence and the time now on my body I quickly became frustrated and put my shoes up.

I hope that I haven't bored you with this narrative. Horseshoes is a wonderful game that can be enjoyed at any skill level. It is a relatively cheap sport to play and is accommodating to all ages and sex. Much like bowling, leagues are handicapped so everyone has a chance to win. Tournaments are classed in groups of similar ringer percentage so the competition is comparable . And there is always that picknick or party where horseshoes is something to play for bragging rights or perhaps a beer.
Don't laugh off horseshoes. If you haven't played, give it a try.

Hi folks!

Pretty much the title... I've made another attempt to develop & release Android app because I'm curious if it's still possible to hit the jackpot and get piece of cake from the market. I can tell this is tough, as Google Play Store is flooded with apps and it's difficult to get organic downloads. What's your experience guys? Is there some trick that works for you to get more traffic?

Long story short, app helps to:

Photos Map, the app that allows you to see on a map where you've taken your photos! App will help you to geotag photos, group photos by country or place, create albums, view and edit EXIF metadata and many more. With Photos Map, you can access and manage your photos from local and cloud storages.

I've made sure that I deliver quality app and focused first to give value to the users. I've also created landing page, to build trust with users. My business model is simple: app offers 2-week trial period with all its features for free, as I don't want to put ads into the app. After trial period ends, user must purchase full version in order to continue using the app.

I would be grateful if you could give me some advise and honest feedback about the app.
