Hello All,

I have Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 5G (Verizon Wireless), running One UI 5.0 on top of Android version 13 and for past three weeks I have noticed that my Contacts would "disappear" meaning they are no longer on the device. For example, I would sync the device with Outlook 365 (installed locally on my laptop) and the Contacts, Calendar, Tasks and Memos would sync with the device. The information is not being synced with any cloud service; the information is stored locally on the device and on the laptop.

Then days later when I need to email a contact I would access the Contacts app ( I am using the native Contacts app that comes with the device) and not one single contact is present. All of them seems to have "disappeared." The Notes, Tasks and Memos are all there but not the Contacts.

Then I would do a one-way synced from Outlook to the device and the Contacts would sync to the device. Then days later when looking for a contact on the device they are no longer there.

Has anyone had this experience or heard of this happening?

Regards,

Vernon

Hi

Can anyone help me

In my app I need to call a worker thread which will retrieve technical information from the internet,
update either an EditText or a global variable in the UI thread, and then return to the UI thread where
the updated field will be used in further processing. I have a small experience with Threads having used ASYNCTASK and a simple thread but I am having difficulty getting into this one.

My understanding so far is that, on the one hand "this cannot be done", but on the other hand it can be done by choosing an appropriate synchronization technique. Pretty much all of the examples I have seen do not need the UI to use the returned result, at least not immediately, so I have not recognized an appropriate technique in my searching. I have tried several techniques for passing data between main thread and worker threads.
Examples:
I tried runOnUiThread to set the final value, but It seems to run on the UI thread after the UI thread has carried on?
TextChangedListener in the UI together with runOnUiThread in the worker thread but that does not work either?
I have read about Synchronization but this seems wrong because the main thread must be blocked?
I started looking at WorkManager, RxJava, Eventbus, BroadcastReceiver and more.

It seems to me that what I want to do is quite common and that someone should be able to guide me on which technique might be best to use with perhaps a simple example. I do not mind doing the hard work of learning new stuff but I would really appreciate a starting point for this one.

Thank you, hope you can help

I think I understand fairly well about accepting/denying permissions, but I don't understand if apps can do these permitted actions "on their own" without any action on my part. For instance a browser app lists things like the following: add shortcuts, record audio, take pictures, prevent phone from sleeping, and more.

Can an app be doing such things if I have not opened it?? Do these things if I have opened it but have done nothing that would require such action, ex. add a shortcut, record autio, or ????? I think I have seen permissions allowing changes to contacts and files. I guess what I am really asking is: can apps be anonymously be "snooping around" "making changes"??

If this all sounds stupid maybe it's because I'm an old sod and not very savvy about today's computers and cell phones. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Posting Here, so obviously I have a Moto g power 2021. It runs Android 10 and until now I have not tried to update the system. Why u ask? - on this laptop that I am now using I am continually hounded to update the Firefox browser and my anti-virus app. Long time ago the latest update of these items seemed to be causing problems in shutting down the system. SO, I stopped updating. THIS is why I don't set for "auto update" or even manually update. (yes it is NOT the proper way to do things)

For some reason I just a few hours ago tried to update the oper.system on this phone and system said Andoroid 11..... was available but when I tried to do this I kept getting told to: "Turn off data saver" !! This was not on so could NOT be turned OFF. I can not get any further on updating the system.

Does anyone have an answer?

sorry if i posted the question on the wrong forums.
I currently have a Razer DeathAdder that I’ve been using since 2013 or 2014, but holding the right mouse

button has been flaky lately and also literally five minutes ago something in the mousewheel broke and now it

spins differently and fails to register any movement. My previous mouse was also a Razer DeathAdder.

Even though Razer is kind of a trash company and always has been, I really appreciate the ergonomics

(especially the size) of the DeathAdder and find the prospect of switching to a different mouse – almost all of

which are noticeably smaller or at least look smaller on a store shelf – a little daunting. So I figured I would

throw it out there for discussion: what gaming mice are we using these days, especially for the larger-handed among us?

I just coppied a project from github and when I click on any layout xml folder there is nothing in design section but it works on my phone and it says render problem
File C:/Users/ertug/AndroidStudioProjects/Med-Dose/app/src/main/res/font/google_sans.xml does not exist (or is not a file)

Why would someone do this
Use Com.android.wallpaperpicker
Use Com.android.messaging
Use Com.android.launcher

Hello all! i have a question about an app. My daughter is divorced and when my grandkids goes over to his dads house, he takes the phone and changes his settings. He also blocks our familys numbers so we cant call/text when hes over there. Is there an app that does the following

- monitors and logs when a phone number has been blocked
- locks settings with a password so settings cant be changed or tells us what settings have been changed

and, since this is a child, a parental app that can control the phone entirely remotely.

thank you!

I give up.
If casting is possible (I am not convinced that it is) then it is beyond me.

After installing a myriad of worthless apps with bogus claims, and never being able to cast anything, I am turning off the tv and watching movies on my sorry ass phone again.

Thanks for nothing, bullshit casting tech.

Last night around midnight, my A52, which was on the charger, started beeping approx 1/sec. After a minute or two, it started beeping rapidly, approx 2/sec. I unplugged the phone and closed all apps but it kept beeping. The only way I could get it to stop was to hold the side button and reboot. Notification settings are all OK.
Any ideas why this happened and how to prevent it? Do you think the midnight time is significant? I had no scheduled calendar events for that time, FWIW.

Hi everyone, kindly help me with this, how to edit this thing? since the font is barely unreadable. thanks in advance.

Somebody please help me I'm on a jp5s inmate tablet running Android 4.2.2 rooted ---i set my date forward in order to get game bonuses and now my date and time is stuck 8days into the future.every time I set the correct time and date (auto and manual) it changes back to the future time/date when the minute rolls over. This happened to a friend that I'm no longer in contact with and he fixed the problem by rewriting the system time(epoch time) what's the path to that file? I'm using ES as my file browser.

Is there any app that allows to control volume levels on a per app basis? Sometimes I'm listening to music spotify and want to use Instagram with zero sound (while viewing videos there) or play a game with volume muted but currently not able to do so.

I have a rooted Oneplus 9RT running Android 11.

I hope I'm not asking a crazy question and or one that's been answered. But why allow me download android auto if my firmware is too old to work with the latest version of the app? There's other apps that just says not compatible but not android auto app.

I traveled to Hong Kong recently with the oneplus 5T and bought a CSL sim card.
It worked and I get a "4G" symbol on the signal strength, but no LTE and no VOLTE indicators.

The most unusual thing is phone battery drains more then 3 times faster. The battery setting just shows google play as the top drainer (7%). When I came back to USA, the battery drain is normal again.

What could cause this and how do I avoid it next time?
I know my phone is a little old but how does an old phone cause more battery drain in Hong Kong?

I bought 2 used identical J3 Achieve phones and Boost in 2020 was able to get one of them activated, but since the 5G implemented they no longer support the phone. I am able to use Mint mobile with it, however the other phone is locked and it seems the only way to get it unlocked is by paying for it.

That's ok though but i need a trustworthy place to do it. Is there any good options/places to unlock the phone so I can use this other one with Mint?

And yes I learned my mistake to not buy phones that I can't unlock on my own. I don't think Boost will unlock it because you need to have service for 12 months, kind of a problem when you cant even register the device.

Is it possible to port/migrate/run an openshift operator hosted on openshift operator hub to kubernetes? Like we can migrate a pod by reading the pod specification. trying to migrate/run DB2 operator available on openshift operator hub on my kubernetes cluster.

Today, when putting my vacation days into the stock calendar, I noticed that the holidays that were there when I started the phone are now gone. The only thing that I know that I could have done was to do the phone software updates. Does anyone know what might have happened? How, if possible can I get them back? Is there a way to get another set of holidays on the calendar. Even though I want the ones back I had upon startup, I have to admit that lots of weird holidays were featured. I would consider others, if possible.

No need to tell a long story. I got angry at Consumer Cellular, fired them and received my sim card today from the new network. I can't get the phone to work because it wants to be unlocked. Consumer Cellular refused to unlock the phone stating that I had a past due account. We sent the final payment on Jan 30 and I find it hard to believe they haven't received it yet. So I can't use my cell phone on their network or the new network. Short of buying a new phone, is there a solution?
