Help Trouble Accessing Old Tablet

More than likely it's a paperweight at this point, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask. I have an Acer A200 tablet that I received as a gift maybe like 10 years ago give or take. Well, I figure I stopped using it maybe around 2014? It has not been touched since. My mom recently found it and brought it to my house, so my first reaction was to try and log into it. Here is where the problems begin...I had one of those line draw passwords. I locked it up real fast trying to figure it out. So, then it gave me the option to log in via google account, which again I can't do. I've tried every password I can think of...my new one, passwords I consistently used back then, nothing works. And I can't connect it to Wi-Fi of course, so either it's blocking me from using it entirely or I simply cannot guess the right password from back then. Begrudgingly, I went to factory reset it. But it won't even allow me to do that. I get the right screen but as its loading it after starting up the android ups and dies (it shows an android laying down with a red caution triangle). I don't know what else to do. Ideally, I'd like to save the stuff on there because I know it'd be like a time capsule, but I'm also aware that that more than likely isn't going to happen. What are my options here? Can I reset it with my computer? I'm at a loss.

In Android Studio, after dragging elements from the palette to the layout, they fly somewhere

In Android Studio, after dragging elements from the palette to the layout, they fly somewhere to the left and are not drawn to the screen. And this is only in one single project. At the same time, at first everything was fine, and then all the elements "flew" from the screen. You can of course delete this project, there is a simple case study. But imagine if after a month of development this will come out to you. I would like to understand the reason and how to deal with it, why this happened.

Accessories Digital stylus search

I am looking for a digital stylus for my Google Pixel 6 Pro phone. Finding one that works on the phone is easy. It has to have a fine point that needs charging and a broad end that doesn't. In order for the fine tip to work, you have to turn it on. Now for the kicker, so far everyone I've found, turns itse
lf off every 30 minutes whether I'm using it or not. I'm looking for one that won't turn itself off while I'm using it! Everyone I've tried turns itself off while I'm using it. It makes no sense. They say it's to save the battery, but I'm using it, do not shut it off!
Thanks in advance,

echo "Finished"`

I tried so hard but in the end it didnt even matter

Help Promblem with connecting to IKEV2 vpn server from android devices

TeaTV on linux

HI

About a year ago I tried loading teatv on anbox (a linux based android emulator) and it failed totally I was told that anbox uses arm64 architecture and my computer was likely running 86-64 or amd64. From the write up on their site it looks like WayDroid supports at least 86-64 and possibly amd64.

Does anyone have any experience running teatv or even plutotv on WayDroid? Has anyone gotten it to work?

I'm currently running them in my windows box using blustacks, but I'd really like to use the linux box.

Thanks

Resisting developer mode

I have followed the instructions to get the crimebook to go there. At first I thought it would, but it doesn't. It just goes back to the first part. I don't know what the password is, and I don't need one because it's my own private computer (whoopee). Is there some way to do an end run around all that and just get Linux on the thing once and for all?

[FREE GAME] Build a Snowman - hardcore logical game

Hi, I just finished my hardcore logical game called Build a Snowman.
You can download it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.raiper34.buildasnowman

Build a Snowman is a hardcore logical game, where the main task is to merge 2 parts of the snowman's body.

It sounds like a very easy task, but it is not! You control both parts at the same time, and you need to use blocks to stop one snowman part and avoid fire. Fire is deadly for snowmen! There are also locked doors with keys and even portals in advanced levels. Still, sounds like an easy task? I understand, that yes, but do not wait and test your brain during Christmas evenings!

The game contains winter, green and Mexican worlds with 30 hardcore levels. Let's build a snowman and not get anger issues!

WiFi Calling Not Working Suddenly

I have had WiFI calling turned on for several years (on my Samsung Galaxy S10e) using Verizon. Suddenly it stopped working. What happens is I try to make a call and nothing happens: no ringing, nothing. If I turn the WiFi calling off, then the calls work fine. My home WiFi is working at the same time. I tried clearing the cache of the phone app which didn't help. I have rebooted my phone after that.
Any ideas why this is happening?

The Call settings keeps crashing on A8 bypass

I have with me a Samsung Galxy A8 (2018), my boss purchased this phone from a girl, but she dont know the google account e-mail and password or the screenlock to unlock the phone. I am tryng to unlock the phone using a hole of methods, i try to use a blocked SIM Card, i tried to connect on the pc but the phone doesnt reconized. Probaly the best method to unlock this phone is via entering on the Call settings, but when i click on 2 seconds and customize buttons to enter in call settings, appears a black screen and go back to the keyboard settings, is there something i can do to resolve this issue?

Galaxy watch 5 pro weather app

hello,
I'm looking for a weather app that has bad weather alerts, or if you have any idea where I can download the alti-barometer app that's on watch 4.
I have a sunnto core all black non smart, but it has a barometric sensor in it and at a sudden drop of 3 atm it triggers the storm/bad weather alert. I'm looking for something like this on the watch 5 pro because in 90% of cases, a sudden drop of 3 atm means that the weather is going bad.
have a nice day guys.

Why is Google asking my permission?

Hi. I am currently running Android 10 on my Moto g power. I have had Android phones for about 10 yrs and never had this happen.

The last couple of days, out of the blue I am getting a notification that appears to be from Google. It simply says, "This app needs your permission". The first time it happened, I clicked to find out more. It just went away and nothing else came up. It's come up again and I am now suspicious of it. Is this normal? Should I be worried?

Thanks for any input.
