Soo changes

Two things performing less well since I got my S20 in July (I was on an Android 12 phone before that also, same mobile carrier):

1. Google Drive seldom seems to sync between my phone and computer unless I force it to do so (through accounts sync setting on the phone.) That is, it seems to wait a long time before syncing, and I don't have any settings that should be discouraging that.

2. Google Maps accuracy seems poor in tracking my meanderings in Timeline, regardless of method of getting around...bike, on foot, driving etc.

I never had had perfect tracking in Google Maps timeline but things seem especially inaccurate since I got this phone. I do have Precise Location selected under Location for Maps. For example, my routes that I take are often displayed as triangulated/cutting off the square corners of streets which makes my mileage that I'm trying to keep track of not very accurate. I'm often having Timeline pepper my movements with "unknown activity" or just failing to note where I was for big chunks of my time away from home.

I followed this video
Everything was going well until my phone got stuck in boot loop. I tried to repeat the process but then I got error Custom binary blocked by oem lock. Screenshot of the error is attached here.

Now I tried to download the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Firmware tool but and tried to install it but the lock is still there.
Again I tried to download firmware using Samfirm tool but it is asking few details like Region, PDA, CSC, Phone and I am not getting these info. Screenshot of Samfirm is attached kindly help with the required details.

Here is the images of the phone with error, Please provide me some workaround for this issue so that I can get my phone in usable condition.

Thanks in Advance.

I did have a cd burner that was build into this laptop, but persuminingly the Registery machine whiped it out with my friends, who did build this from the ground up, but funny enough I recently discovered the WAMP, so.. I think it can do albums not so sure though, I still have somehow methinks thanks to my story teller friend, about some albums still downloaded though on here.

But how to get it back though, and when and how I can rediscover an album burner on here then... I could copy albums on my non cloud base platform C:/?

Hello esteemed Members!

Today when I attempted to reboot my Samsung Galaxy A7(2018), the screen got stuck at Android Recovery. Now the technicians at the Samsung Support have advised for factory reset. The problem with factory reset/ wiping data is that I will lose all the important app data as well as other data stored in the internal memory of the phone. I want a way to exit the Android Recovery without losing all the data or want to somehow backup all the data before attempting a factory reset.

Please help!! Any help from the experts will be much appreciated.

Hello everyone. I have a Galaxy 22 ultra. I'm used to the Google Assistant beeping every time I say "hey Google". Now for some reason it doesn't do that anymore and I can't figure out how to bring it back? Can anybody lend me some advice. Thank you.

I'm having problems installing apps on my recently purchased (2nd hand) Android phone. I keep getting the message "No connection".

details:


I've done obvious things like reset the phone to factory settings.

This is the second such device I've tried. The first phone had the same problem. I took it back to the shop and exchanged it. The second phone had the same problem. Probably not a fault in the device.

I have used the same Google account on both devices. When I registered on the phone, it asked for confirmation on the tablet. Probably not a problem with the account.

Google on my phone is displaying a message showing me as signed in.

The phone settings shows I am connected to my WiFi. I am able to run Google searches, for example. Also, I tried it on different wifis. Probably not a problem with Wifi.


Pre-installed apps on my phone seem to work. I've tried several without any problem.

The model is BLU Life Play.

Solved.

Maybe I'm old fashioned, but everytime I use a 'modern' PC or laptop the lack of sound is quite...unnerving. Here I am browsing AF with a Lenovo IdeaPad 3 that's a very nice laptop, but it has absolutely zero noise. no fans noise, and especially no disk noise. That one gets me the most. I really long to return to the stepper motor hard drive days, or find some hacker who made an SATA to MFM converter so my gaming rig could at least have some ST-225 goodness and be used to store documents or pictures. I like hearing the sound of work being done.

Yesterday I was downloading and a message appeared about not being able to write to the SD card. I wasn't trying to do that at the time. I went to File Manager (that Simple orange kind) and it didn't show sd. My Files did and claimed that it was 16% full (512 gb nominal). I rebooted and that seemed to fix it. The A02s itself was at 90% (this morning 17% and 91% respectively). I have moved some downloads to sd or think I have. The same thing has happened today. It's as if the whole phone has gone screwy. The camera wasn't working, though now it is, the keyboard was messed up, hence my lousy replies to Nick Dalzell about my new computer (sorry) and it was sluggish. I rebooted again and now most things are back to normal. I'm worried about that sd card, though. It's still not showing up in File Manager. Now it's not showing up in My Files either. I haven't taken it out or unmounted it, and the phone hasn't gotten wet. What do I do?

hi i am trying to set up OpenGL in a java android app but i cant create a vao. In normal OpenGL you can just use the method glGenVertexArrays() but in android it has more parameters:
glGenVertexArrays(int var0, int[] var1, int var2)
glGenVertexArrays(int var0, IntBuffer var1)
Does anyone know what these parameters do.

Hi!

If you think you have a lot of mobile gaming skills, you have to try this shit I've created. The game isn't particularly eye-catching, it looks a bit ugly. But the game is devilishly difficult. It's only 50 levels, but if anyone thinks it's too few, I dare you to beat them.

I assure you it's worth downloading and playing. The game is like that spicy food, it stings a lot and you have a hard time while you enjoy it, but you want more and more hahaha, I have no better way to describe it. I hope you enjoy it.

If you like the game, it helps me a lot if you give me a positive review on google play. I'm sure you will like the game.

According to Google, as reported by Phone Arena, the Pixel 6 Pro will be getting features that the Pixel 7 Pro will have. So our 6 won't be too far behind the 7. The 7 will have a the newer Tensor G2 chip, but it isn't that much better than ours. And, if you read:

You will see what new features our phone is scheduled to receive.

I am unable to split screen with this phone. Does anyone have a link to or step by step instructions for, allowing me to do this?

i have the elm obdll usb connected dongle and it came with some programs, when i installed them all seemed ok but they need a ket to be able to run. it looks like they have the keygen but when i try to open it windows will not let it open. one file it says it a trojan windows calls it trojan:win32/orsamirfn and the other file windows calls a hacktool called hacktool:win32/keygen.

now the hacktool may be a legit program that windows thinks is a bad program but the one windows calls a trojan i think is a trogan.

i copied them to the hard drive and scanned them there and got the same thing. so windows will not clean them only quarantine then remove them or let me run them so any ideas here? thanks

In order to set HVAC related properties, the following code needs to be called in system app. While I tried to deploy my app as system app by pushing it to /system folder in polestar 2 emulator, an error message show polestar 2 is a production build and so /system folder is readonly. Could you give some hint about how to solve the problem.

car = Car.createCar(applicationContext)
carPropertyManager = car.getCarManager(Car.PROPERTY_SERVICE) as CarPropertyManager
carPropertyManager.setBooleanProperty(VehiclePropertyIds.HVAC_AC_ON, VehicleAreaSeat.SEAT_ROW_1_CENTER, true)

Hi all,

I have recently installed Android Studio on my machine.
However, I cannot see the CODE, SPLIT or DESIGN tabs at the top of the screen in the application itself.
How do I make these visible or do I have to reinstall Android Studio itself?

Thanks in advance

I've heard that AAC is worse on Android than it is on iOS, due to its poor implementation.

I checked the encoders/decoders that Xiaomi has opted to use on her device, and have noticed that half of them were from AOSP (e.g. c2.android.xxx.encoder), and the rest were from an OEM, such as MediaTek.

Meanwhile, Google is using their own encoders/decoders, and the AAC situation is fine there (On Pixel devices). No complaints from people.

The question that was created from this is whether the poor quality of AAC is due to OEMs opting to use their proprietary encoders/decoders, as opposed to those provided by Google.

And so, we return to the original question: Are Google-provided AAC encoders/decoders actually good?

Hi, I'm trying to flash a VIVO Y20 but I'm not sure what firmware to flashing program to use,

Could someone please assist,

Thank you

1) When I auto rotate my cell it stands in portrait form, and never switching over at the keyboard either, it still has many issues with the moto edge plus, it seems like I cannot type anything up in landscape mode either.

2) I did the clear cache a few times already and still the keys will not function after typing with them, I tried grammarly and a few other keyboards to the market.

3) I did even the FDR last week too, so that did clear up a few issues though but this problem keeps bugging me.
I need a lot of help on this glitch.

There is no third party app running anytime.

I have dumped Dolphin Browser based on advice here. One problem I have a lot of bookmarks that I would like to save by moving them over to an old phone I don't really use. I tried the Dolphin "Backup and Restore" in settings but it only seems to be able to put the speed dials back on the other phone and not bookmarks. Anyone got any ideas? Is there a file in Dolphin that contais bookmark info. that could be moved beteeen phones?

Thanks,

Danny
