Power Outage Alarm Pro

Hi

I'm looking for an APK for power outage alarm pro. The phones that I installed it on both have dying batteries & I can't find the original APK that I used to install it & I want to install it on 2 less old phones.

It breaks Google rules now as it sends an SMS message every time power goes on or off so it's no longer available via the Play Store.

Anybody know where I can find a copy please. I can get the free version but it is too restricted.

Help How to extract .mbn and .xml programmer files?

Hello,

I have two smartphones, one is completely working, and the other is hard bricked.

It is about HTC Desire 820.

so I wonder is it possible to extract ROM from working phone, and then extract required

files, such as .mbn and .xml programmer files ?

I have found this tutorial: https://www.droidsavvy.com/2021/03/unbrick-qualcomm-mobiles-with-step-by-step-guide.html

but I dont have required files, such as .mbn and .xml programmer filesfor flashing phone.

my phone is detected as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008.

Thank you

Videos not downloading on phone with high speed internet.

some videos from a particular sender does not download on WhatsApp on my phone. SAMSUNG GALAXY J2 2018 ANDROID VERSION 7.1.1

when trying to open that paticular video on WhatsApp web it says video not available on phone.

tried uninstalling and reinstalling WhatsApp..still no change..

This has been going on for some time
(maybe for a couple of weeks)and on one device only...WhatsApp on other devices in my household are working fine.

I turned on media visibility in Chat settings on my phone...but the issue still persists.

Although like i mentioned.. this issue occurs from videos sent from one particular sender in a WhatsApp group...

Videos from all other senders in this group and other groups and other personal chats on WhatsApp downloads properly without any problem.

I ejected the SD card from my device and checked..still same story..

I noticed now that if the mobile data is switched on instead of the Wi-Fi (72 mbps speed) at the time of receiving the video it does get downloaded.

Although if Wi-Fi is switched on at the time the video is received on my phone the video does not even download/open.. Even if trying to open it later using mobile data

green circle will come and then i get the message "download cannot be completed" also when the video is received on my phone..the file size is not displayed on the video

Would you be able to help me with this?

Help Weather

I have (Samsung Galaxy S7. Android version 8.0.0, Samsung Experience version 9.0. Everything is up to date. It has not been rooted or jailbreaked.

A few days ago I went to check the weather but the app icon was missing. I found an app called Weather in the setttings. I found in the settings of the app "Add icon to app list" and turned it on.

The problem.is, when I click this icon, it's not the same as my old trusty and simple to read weather app. I have never downloaded another weather app and certainly didn't delete the original. This one isn't nothing like my usual weather app. I also noticed that the enable and disable button is greyed out. So you can't disable/enable or even delete it.

Does anyone know where my original weather app disappeared and why there's no icon on my home screen anymore?? What app came with the original Samsung Galaxy S7 and how do I get it back? Please help!

No Samsung logo on back?

Hi All,
I just got a refurb Galaxy S20 from an Amazon seller. The phone looks and work like a brand new one. All specs check out, cameras work as they should etc. The only strange issue I noticed - no "Samsung" logo on the back of the phone. Has anyone seen this? Should I be concerned it's a fake? All input appreciated.

Less robust bluetooth sometimes

When my screen goes dark, bluetooth music connection is sort of "weakened". Example. I exercise and use my phone to play either spotify or youtube videos and all is well but after a while the screen goes dark and when it does it's almost as if that connection's power is reduced by 50%. Still plays but suddenly there'll be stuttering, break ups, etc. Like suddenly I have a flip phone from the 80's. It's absolutely perfect correlation (i.e. it happens exactly the same every time). There USED to be an app called "Caffeine" which would over ride this and allow you to allow certain apps to keep everything up and running but I've googled it exhaustively and cannot find that app, or anything like it.

Also, I have new hearing aids that allow streaming from my phone and they're absolutely amazing! BUT if I do spotify etc. and ptu the phone in my POCKET, jostling around makes them cut in and out. Like I need an external "belt mounted holder" or soemthing which I do NOT want. Is there any way to make things "bullet proof" when a phone is in one's pocket? Like be able to quickly pull it out and access controls but slide it back in pocket and not have every thigh twitch result in a breakup, skip or jump to the next song, or text a picture of my wife's butt to one of my tenants! (yeah...happened once...)

Reviews best weather app

What does everyone use for a weather app? I want something that I can add a number of locations to as well as the ability to "follow me" and give me the weather where ever I am a t the moment. I have tries a few like 1Weather. It says it will follow your location but it rarely works if at all. I like Weather bug but I dont like the widgets they provide.

Creating multi page preferences

Hello. I'm currently following this tutorial for trying to create a settings page using the preference library that will lead to another preference screen when a preference is selected. Basically I want my settings page to lead to another advanced settings page when a preference is selected.

What I currently have done is my settings fragment, my settings activity, the layout for my preferences and the layout for my settings activity.

activity_settings.xml
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".SettingsActivity">


    <!--frame layout for displaying
        our preference fragment-->
    <FrameLayout
        android:id="@+id/idFrameLayout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" />

</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

SettingsActivity.java
Java:
package com.example.navapp;

import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import androidx.fragment.app.Fragment;
import androidx.preference.PreferenceManager;
import android.os.Bundle;


import android.os.Bundle;
import androidx.preference.Preference;
import android.preference.PreferenceFragment;
import android.util.Log;

import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import androidx.preference.PreferenceFragmentCompat;

public class SettingsActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements
        PreferenceFragmentCompat.OnPreferenceStartFragmentCallback {


    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_settings);

        // below line is to change
        // the title of our action bar.
        getSupportActionBar().setTitle("Settings");
        // below line is used to check if
        // frame layout is empty or not.
        if (findViewById(R.id.idFrameLayout) != null) {
            if (savedInstanceState != null) {
                return;
            }
            // below line is to inflate our fragment.
            getFragmentManager().beginTransaction().add(R.id.idFrameLayout, new SettingsFragment()).commit();
            PreferenceManager.

        }
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onPreferenceStartFragment(PreferenceFragmentCompat caller, Preference pref) {
        final Bundle args = pref.getExtras();
        final Fragment fragment = this.getSupportFragmentManager().getFragmentFactory().instantiate(
                this.getClassLoader(),
        fragment.setArguments(args);
        fragment.setTargetFragment(caller, 0);

        int setupSettingsFragment = getFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag("FeedbackFragment").getId();

        this.getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
                .replace(setupSettingsFragment, fragment)
                .addToBackStack(null)
                .commit();

        return true;
    }


}

preferences.xml
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<PreferenceScreen
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">


    <SwitchPreference
        android:key="switch"
        android:summaryOff="Switch off"
        android:summaryOn="Switch on"
        android:title="Switch Preference"
        android:fragment="com.example.navapp.FeedbackFragment"/>

    <Preference
        android:key="feedback"
        android:title="Send feedback"
        android:summary="Report technical issues or suggest new features"/>
        android:fragment="com.example.navapp.FeedbackFragment"/>


</PreferenceScreen>

SettingsFragment.java
Java:
package com.example.navapp;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.preference.PreferenceFragment;

import androidx.annotation.Nullable;

public class SettingsFragment extends PreferenceFragment {

    @Override
    public void onCreate(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        // below line is used to add preference
        // fragment from our xml folder.
        addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.preferences);
    }
}

feedback.xml


Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<PreferenceScreen
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    <Preference
        android:key="feedback"
        android:title="Send feedback to devs"
        android:summary="Report technical issues or suggest new features"/>

</PreferenceScreen>

FeedbackFragment.java

Java:
package com.example.navapp;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.preference.PreferenceFragment;

import androidx.annotation.Nullable;

public class FeedbackFragment extends PreferenceFragment {

    @Override
    public void onCreate(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        // below line is used to add preference
        // fragment from our xml folder.
        addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.feedback);
    }
}



I'm trying to use the onPreferenceStartFragment method to replace the layout with my new fragment. However, I'm currently struggling with figuring out how to attach a preference to this listener and how this code works.

This is my first post in this forum so any feedback on how I can improve my posts would also be great.

Help?

Random J3 notifications

I have an older J3. The notification sound rarely works when I am receiving normal SMS texts. I reset the notification sound occasionally, but his does not seem to help.
The sound works at times, but only very randomly. I have to tell friends to call rather than text if they need to contact me immediately. Is this a common problem?
