I'm using a Bluetooth keyboard connected to a Samsung Galaxy Tab 6 Lite while in multi-window mode, which works great. I have an eBook about Python open in one window, and a console open in another window, to type in examples from the book and run them. But one small annoyance is that I often forget to tap on the console window before typing. Is there a keyboard shortcut for people using Bluetooth keyboards to switch between windows, so I don't have to take my hands off the keyboard?

Thanks.

Hi,
I am getting text that is underlined as I type into web forums such as this. It does not post as underlined, it is just some annoying "feature" on the user's end. This is driving me crazy, as when this happens and I am at the end of a word and want to hit return to go to the next line, well, it won't, unless I hit the spacebar to put a space in after the word. This happens across two different browsers. I did a Google search and responses tell you to turn off your spellcheck, etc. Well, as a rule, I turn this crap off immediately in my chosen keyboard. I even checked my basic Android settings and see nothing like this enabled. So, aside from some of this correction crap being enabled by mistake and that I can't find it, this is not part of why it is happening.

Any ideas?

I don't play any games. I don't do any power consuming task.

I'm looking for a very small PC to put in my small room.

Do you recommend a mini PC

and where would you recommend buying from?

I can see there are a lot sold on Amazon by third party sellers. However, there is no one sold by Amazon. Is there any other more reliable sites to buy from?

Is this do-able with out unlock.bin??

I've tried using adb/fastboot. ADB reports the device OK; fastboot can't see the device.

I've tried all manner of drivers to load........ I know there are separate drivers for adb and fastboot.

This is driving me nuts.

Finally, are there different SUB-variants of the 996?? One generic and one US Sprint??

Thanks

P.S. Yeah I know this is a VERY old phone. But it still does everything I need/want. I just bought a replacement for one that "went South" the other day. Sadly LG no longer supports providing an unlock.bin.

And I suspect there are probably not many LG fans on here.

This may apply to all Android phones, pretty basic question. I have a dual band router with 2.4 and 5g speeds. Can someone explain what criteria the phone uses to switch automatically? For example, I set the phone to a 5g wifi band and later find it has switched to 2.4. What causes this? I do have some wifi plugs that can only operate at 2.4- is this implicated? Or does it look for the strongest signal? If that's the case I am practically sitting on top of the router but sometimes it reverts to an extender some distance away from the phone. Please explain. Most important question: Is there anyway to "lock" the band to keep it at 5g until I manually change it? Help much appreciated! Phone is Moto G Power (2021)

Hi guys, I've developed a free game on Google Play Store, could you tell me what you think?
The game is called "Structures: a building puzzle!" is a physics-based puzzle where you have to build using different materials at your disposal! If you like it leave me a review. Thank you!

Hi all! I created another board game. It is somewhat similar to the mechanics of the game Truth or Dare, but a little different.

The rules of the game are very simple. The facilitator reads the card. For example, I have never seen the northern lights. Those players who saw, carry out the punishment.

You can play both companies and couples. Enjoy!

My desktop PC is put in a very small room, recently, I find that there is strange smell probably coming from the PC, it's like burnt charcoal, besides this, there is no other sign, and my PC still works perfectly. The PSU should be decent because it's by Antec.
I took it to a nearby small computer shop for check up but he wasn't able to figure out what the problem was.

However, the smell is really obvious. It has persisted for a week already, I cannot find any other sign. I am quite pretty sure that the smell comes from the desktop.

Is there any underlying problem that we have overlooked?

I want to once emphasize that the computer still works perfectly.

Could it be the PSU failing but not has not failed totally?

I have Shareit set to connect my Android to my PC. Sends from PC to Android work mostly. But files that say they succeed when I send from my android to my PC have never appeared on the PC, even with a full search of the entire PC, let alone in the folder I set to store received files.

Android Galaxy A20
Android 11

Any help appreciated.

Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS).
This is a deprecated code in api>29 and I want to get some alternative of that Which returns the address of common download folder of all application(storage/emulated/0/Downloads) Not the location of download folder of inside android app location(storage/emulated/0/Android/data/__AndroidPackageName__/Downloads)

Looking around the forum I didn't see any threads with limericks. So I think it'd be fun to see how many we can share.

I'll start with this one.

moto g power 2021. owned the phone for a short time. initially i had the battery percentage displayed in the status bar, then it suddenly went away. if i go to settings-battery-battery percentage-show battery percentage in status bar, it still is missing. oddly enough, it does show when i swipe down on the status bar. i have always liked to see the percentage when the screen is displayed. any ideas what i can try? TIA

When I'm at home near my computer, after calling somebody, the signal always drops.

Recently I've noticed that when I go outside away from home, sometimes the signal drops while I'm talking to someone.

What could be causing the signal to drop after I've connected to the person I'm calling? What can be done to fix this?

Edit: When I say my signal drops, I mean the other person can't hear me, but I can hear them. So maybe I shouldn't say signal dropping.

i had a moto z play (purchased in 2017) with android 8. youtubeTV ran flawlessly on this phone. decided it was time for a newer phone. went with a 2021 moto g power, android 11. transferred everything from the old phone. no new apps installed since the transfer. youtubeTV now has a "choppy/stuttery" play. video play is fine on youtube and tubi, just not on youtubeTV. i have tried restarting my phone, uninstalling and reinstalling the app, and everything else i could find on the interwebs to try, with no success. this occurs with any wifi connection i use (primarily home and work). i pulled out my old phone to try the app to make sure it wasnt a bad wifi signal at my home, and the app still works great. any help would be appreciated. at this point i am considering going back to my old phone if i cant get this issue resolved. any suggestions would be welcomed. TIA

When I first got my Galaxy A71, the recent apps button showed a vertical stacked overlapping list of my recent open apps. This was great. For some reason, this display was replaced by a horizontal slide list that only shows 1 open app at a time. How to go back to the vertical stacked overlapping list of open apps?

Can a custom launcher do this?

My name is Jonathon. I am 27 years old and technically have a 10th grade level education. English and history were my most proficient subjects and Electrical always captivated me.
From learning about components pcb boards and batteries to the learning differences between AC and DC power the level of excitement i reach when learning something new about electronics is tremendous.
Specifically, Android and Apple Smartphones. I want to start my own Smartphone network carrier unlocking business.
I have read about these devices called UMT Box, NCK Dongle, Infinity Box, Chimera, Furiousgold ect. that are referred to as great tools but I haven't really understood what the differences between these tools are and what would be the "best" tool to use for everyday use with or without internet connection and that will also support all of the common brands such as Samsung Apple Motorola LG ect. So the purpose of this post and my main question is what exactly do cell phone companies use to unlock the sim cards/network carriers on Android and Apple smart phones? In terms of everything needed hardware as well as software, can anybody give a list of ALL requirements of opening a business service for unlocking smartphones? Software program names and hardware needed that support the most phone models and network service providers. (example: SIM card reader writer cloner,

Anyone know what the app notification on the far right is?

I was looking at ebays ZTE A31 standard and lite version 5"-5.5" they say international models someone told me that international models didnt have all the us bands.

The store seller states that the zte A31 will work with other gsm carriers tmobile in us not boost or sprint cdma whichever with the bands it has.
Does anyone here have a ZTE A31 with 32gb storage and use it in the us with gsm tmobile network and where did you pruchase it? Theyre about 60-70$ on ebay but stated as international models.

Which phone cases are best for drop screen protection? Which have you had experience with and dropping?

I just purchased a new g power 2021 4gb 64gb 140$ from best buys black friday sale.
I dont want it to get damaged.

I went ahead and ordered a motorola brand rubber case which is suppose to have the front edge raised as well as camera but not sure if hard plastic is better.
Are some of these simply phone cases for grip style and not drop protection or screen protection?

Hello everyone

3 years ago I've bought an Ulefone Armor 6 for my outdoor hobbies. Suddenly the screen died, I couldn't do anything with it anymore. As I replaced the screen once, I tried to put the old screen back (which had issues but could be used) but without success.

What I really would like to achieve is to extract the photos/videos from the internal storage...

Once the screen is removed here is what I see (click to enlarge) :



I can read on the screen plug socket :

20 ---------------------- 1

21 ------ LCD ------- 40



❔ Is it possible to find a compatible cheap screen? I just want to be able to start and unlock the phone, then get the photos and videos.

❔ Using the USB C port can I plug a screen, keyboard, mouse or whatever so I can achieve my goal?

❔ Would it help to plug the phone to a computer and use some CLI commands + ADB for instance?

Developer mode is enabled on the phone if it can help.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
Cheers from France ✌️
