Hi guys.
On 3 of my old tablets running Android 4.4.2 and 5.0.2. Youtube app is no longer supported and it doesn't work.
It requires update which simply does not want to install.
Any alternative to youtube app,except Vanced app which no longer works?
A plus is to add/import subscribed channels on youtube.

I've been trying to get a subscription for yousician and it keep saying error. I've been trying to do this for over an hour now and it wont work. Ive looked at all the settings on google play as well and I cant find how to fix this please help its so frustrating, all i wanna do is practice my guitar.

Hey all, I bought my phone in Dec. 2018 and in the 3.5 yrs I have it I finally checked my battery state with the OnePlus diagnostic app. And it's at 93% I have attached a screenshot of it . So I only lost 7% of it's life in over 3.5yrs? This can't be right I would have thought it would be below 80%. I guess this is good news. Still though I might buy the OnePlus 10T when it arrives in the US.

Hi, my name is hendis. I'm new here, and using a T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G. I've checked everywhere that I can think of, and I have turned off all sounds and notifications, yet I'm hearing a sound whenever I get a text message. Any way to turn it off?

Galaxy J3 2017.
Warning16GB storage is full to around 15.4.
Have cleared the cache on virtually all apps.
Removed a couple not used.
Looking via my PC can only find about 4.1 GB used by apps.
Docs/Images/Videos etc are all empty.
How can I find the 11 or 12 GBs that don't show or is that simply the operating system that can't be interfered with?

Have an extra SD card storage but it is only at 50% everything that can be moved to the card has been moved.
PS. I have removed updates from quite a few apps with little effect.
PSS. Will replace phone in a few weeks but need it running well until then!

Please?

I run two Android 10 phones. One is my main personal mobile which uses all the contacts from my Google account - those with and without phone numbers, and email addresses.

My second phone is to be used as my home phone. I have created a Label in the Google app Contacts, named "Home Phone" and tagged all those contacts (with phone nos) who i would wish to ring from this phone. At the moment, on the home phone, when I select the phone icon - contacts - it shows ALL the people in the global list as in my personal phone.

All I wish to see is those who are tagged with label "Home Phone".

How can I achieve that?

I have this charging via USB notification that has been going on since I purchased this phone (2 years ago) and I have been unable to find a fix for it it appears whenever I turn on my phone and it makes it so that I am unable to charge my phone the only time I've been able to charge it is when the phone is turned off or if I force stop Android system and then restart the phone. At one point I did manage to make the notification stop for like 2 months but now the notification is back and I don't remember how I fixed it, does anybody have any ideas?

If I have been using a old phone and now I take out the sim card from the old phone and insert the SIM card into my new phone. No backup was done when I was using the old phone.

1. Can I switch on the old phone and read the old SMS messages that was made in the old phone without a SIM card inserted into the old phone?

2. Can I switch on the old phone and read the old Whatsapp messages that was made in the old phone without a SIM card inserted into the old phone?

Thanks.

Hello: I need to buy a loudspeaker for my wife's Galaxy s7 phone, but choosing the right one is an ordeal. My main concern is that the jack-plug must be of the correct size, but I don't have any way of being sure of this. Can someone tell me, with certainty, which size it is, so that I can buy with confidence (with regard to it fitting, anyway)?

With thanks in hopeful anticipation,
S.

Hi all,

I've just started noticing an issue with Bedtime Mode and receiving messages from Starred Contacts.

I've got the settings configured for 'Based on schedule' and 'Do Not Disturb for Bedtime Mode' turned on. However when bedtime mode kicks in, I don't get messages or calls from my starred contacts.

I've had to disable it at the moment and using the 'Sleeping' schedule under Do Not Disturb which works, but I'd prefer to use Bedtime Mode.

Has anyone else seen this behaviour?

Hi, the appearance of search results in Google search just changed on my Android. I find it really annoying as every result takes much more space on the screen.

I would like to change the appearance to more condensed one (like it was before) with just the website URL, name of the site and preview. Now there is also favicon added and name of the main site (see the red boxes in the attached picture). I have searched everywhere but could not find the solution.

The problem appears in both browsers I use on my Android: Chrome and the one from the Google.

I would really appreciate any help.

Protect your base! Incredibly addictive tower defense game.

A game in which you have to defend the base, repel waves of monsters, defeat the boss every stage.

You have to wisely distribute the resources received. Strengthen the base, or pump weapons. The course of the battle depends on your choice. With each stage, monsters become stronger and new types appear.

There are 3 types of weapons with different levels available in the game:
- A powerful machine gun that pierces monsters on the spot.
- Rapid-fire blaster (laser) with fast aiming.
- Combat rocket launcher with huge damage.

The style of your game depends on each type of weapon. Also, the player has access to additional improvements that will help during the game.


Download: Idle Fortress: First Ascent

Should I buy the unlocked or Verizon version, which is $50 more at Best Buy and doesn't come with the $50 gift card?

I am upgrading from Pixel 2XL.

However, I want to keep my Pixel 2XL to still upload Google photos for free. So if removing the SIM card will stop that, that won't work for me.

This is a side by side comparison of my samsung a136u 5g on the left and the a22 5g on the right as you can see they are almost identical

I mow lawns daily and stream xm tunes to Bose buds while doing so. Today I get to my last lawn and open my S21 Ultra to start the streaming service to find I have zero screen. I hop back into the truck and mess with the phone a bit and then gave up. I mowed my last lawn and came home and put the phone on the charger. I'm thinking either the phone got too hot or did not charge over night and is out of power. On the charger it's status is displayed as 86% charged and 22 minutes until fully charged. I'm instantly put at ease knowing the phone is functional. I let if fully charge and then removed it from the charger. It asked for my login and I was into the phone. The screen was barely lit. I go into setting and see that the brightness slider is all the way down. It's no wonder I couldn't see the screen in the daylight. I brightened the screen and then found a number of settings changed. I was in light mode instead of dark, I had a nav bar at the bottom of the screen and I always use swipe, and there weren't any app badge numbers on my notifications. That's the settings that I have so far discovered were changed. I'm hoping that my phone just jumped around in my pocket just right (OR WRONG) and changed those settings. If it was another culprit.. I'm in for some kind of fun finding it.

Battery still going well although two different figures here but more than happy with 9hrs of SOT compared to older phones and always struggling.

My new-ish Samsung a32's software proximity sensor never lights up the display when it should. If I'm on a call and need the keypad, the screen's off. If I finish a call and want to disconnect, the screen's off. I can't imagine why Samsung thought this was good enough to actually release on a handset. Is there a solution for improving the "proximity sensor's" performance?

I use my Google Pixel with a battery saver and adaptive battery. While working, it can run out for 2 hrs. I changed the battery on new HSABAT. But it still runs out too quickly. Android 10.

This a torrent searching apps. You can use this to download free movies and games whenever you want. You need a torrent downloader like flud or bittorrent to download the files. This app does the searching for you.

The app name is: "Torrentio - Torrent Search App"

Enjoy.

Hi,
I threw a fit and smashed my tablet a few weeks back. I had some files on there that I really need to access.is there any way to get them? The email I had associated with it was hacked, so that's a wash.

I come from a Visual Studio background. I've built a few Android apps now, and I'm incorporating JNI into this most recent one. I've done this before on Windows and have been able to debug my JNI code with Visual Studio.

I am able to enter in to and step through my C/C++ code in the debugger that comes with Android Studio, but I am not able to view disassembly. And if my program has a bug and it crashes, it doesn't show anything in the Disassembly window except a blank screen (all white where the editor / text would normally be), and there is a current statement highlighted which is also on a blank line.

Is there some special trick to getting in to view disassembly from my C/C++ source code lines when I'm single-stepping through them? Is lldb not able to show the 64-bit ARM disassembly? Do I have to have my phone rooted for it to work? Or ... something else? I just don't know enough about this developer environment to know what I'm doing wrong. All of the searches I've done have not revealed any hints.

Thank you in advance for any help.

I have one game published on Google Apps: "Retro Tetro". And the app I'm working on now is a scientific calculator called EasyCalc. It is not released, but a beta apk is available for download on my website. If anyone's interested please ask and I'll post the link. It's still buggy, but it mostly works.

Facebook ads push Android adware with 7 million installs on Google Play


Several adware apps promoted aggressively on Facebook as system cleaners and optimizers for Android devices are counting millions of installations on Google Play store.
The apps lack all of the promised functionality and push advertisements while trying to last as long as possible on the device.
To evade deletion, the apps hide on the victim's device by constantly changing icons and names, masquerading as Settings or the Play Store itself.


Installed app changing icon and name (McAfee)
The adware apps abuse the Contact Provider Android component, which enables them to transfer data between the device and online services.
The subsystem is called every time a new app is installed, so the adware might be using it to initiate the ad-serving process. To the user it may look like the ads are pushed by the legitimate app they installed.


Researchers at McAfee discovered the adware apps. They note that users don't have to launch them after installation to see the ads because the adware initiates itself automatically without any interaction.
The first action from these annoying apps is to create a permanent service for displaying the advertisements. If the process is "killed" (terminated), it re-launches immediately.


Malicious service re-launched almost immediately (McAfee)
The following video shows how the name and icon of the adware changes automatically and how the ad-serving occurs without any interaction from the user.



Millions of downloads on Google Play



As McAfee comments in the report, users are convinced to trust the adware apps because they see a Play Store link on Facebook, leaving little margin for doubt.


Facebook promotion for a cleaner app (McAfee)
This has resulted in unusually high download numbers for the particular type of applications, as shown in the list below:

1. Junk Cleaner, cn.junk.clean.plp, 1M+ downloads
2. EasyCleaner, com.easy.clean.ipz, 100K+ downloads
3. Power Doctor, com.power.doctor.mnb, 500K+ downloads
4. Super Clean, com.super.clean.zaz, 500K+ downloads
5. Full Clean -Clean Cache, org.stemp.fll.clean, 1M+ downloads
6. Fingertip Cleaner, com.fingertip.clean.cvb, 500K+ downloads
7. Quick Cleaner, org.qck.cle.oyo, 1M+ downloads
8. Keep Clean, org.clean.sys.lunch, 1M+ downloads
9. Windy Clean, in.phone.clean.www, 500K+ downloads
10. Carpet Clean, og.crp.cln.zda, 100K+ downloads
11. Cool Clean, syn.clean.cool.zbc, 500K+ downloads
12. Strong Clean, in.memory.sys.clean, 500K+ downloads
13. Meteor Clean, org.ssl.wind.clean, 100K+ downloads

Most affected users are based in South Korea, Japan, and Brazil, but the adware has unfortunately reached users worldwide.


Heatmap of infected Android users (McAfee)
The adware apps are no longer available on the Play Store. However, users that installed them have to remove them manually from the device.


System cleaners and optimizers are popular software categories despite the low benefits they provide. Cybercriminals know that a large number of users would try such solutions to prolong the life of their devices and often guise malicious apps as such.
