Doing some perusing of other tech sites as I work on EBC and saw this "Editors Choice" image on Android Authority:


Am I being a nitpick or should that be Editor's Choice or Editors' Choice? Seems like the most ironic of typos lol

I have a Pixel 7 Pro phone running Android 13. I rooted the phone and when I run Root Checker it indicates 'Root access is properly installed..."

However, today (and a few times previously), a screen popped up telling me to reboot my phone so it could update itself. How the heck can I disable this nonsense???

Android should make a phone with a better graphics card and with a screen that is slightly wider than normal phone. It should have a slightly bigger memory core. Mobile gaming is on the rise more than ever I just think it would be smart to roll something out ahead of the game. Also because In all personal opinion I absolutely want Android phones to always to better than apple products even though it's not that hard for them. Lmao

That or something similar landed on my phone a week or so ago. It eluded my antimalware program and attempted to interpose itself between my QR download and the webpage it was suppose to show. Here is what I saw:

As you can see, it wants your complete credit card details.
Just wondering how it was removed.

With hopes this makes sense here, as it definitely does in my head (sure; when you go to share a picture from the gallery app or a file from the file app, for me Textra is my main texting app... That said I noticed that for a while now, instead of suggesting sending the file to the people I send files to the most, it either picks some random contact or a confirmation text I deleted long ago. (Like when you want to log into your bank account and it sends a security text, and you use it and delete it; yeah, it even suggest that as a contact!)

So is there away to add a default contact, or at least have it suggest the most recent \ often used contacts? Thank you in advance!

How do I stop Google Maps from showing the Media Playback Controls if the setting to turn it off is not where the help documents say it is?

According to this page, I can turn off the media controls in Maps by going to Settings -- Navigation Settings -- Show media play back controls. However, on my phone, from in Maps (and not in a trip), I touch my picture in top right -- Settings -- Navigation Settings -- (and there's no "Show media play back controls"). I can't find that setting anywhere else, either. Makes me wonder how the controls were turned on but, more important, how do I turn it off?

I'm using Android version 13 on a moto g stylus 5g.

Thanks

Hello. I have a Samsung Galaxy A51 5G UW. I transferred songs from my computer to my phone. When I try to play them, at first a promt came up that said I needed to log into Spotify, then, after I logged in, after I again tried to play the songs, it said that Spotify couldn't play the song, that I needed Spotify premium or something. These songs are on my phone, aren't they? How can I play them without connecting to Spotify or having a premium account? Sorry if I sound naive.

Hi guys and girls!
I recently bought a used Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro phone, mostly because of the large sensor of the main camera (1/1.33").
I need this phone for mobile film making and for shooting videos.

The problem is this: When I enter Pro Mode for shooting 4K or 8K video via the Xiaomi camera app, and when I manually set all the necessary settings (ISO, Shutter Speed, White balance), the exposure still changes if I pan the camera from light to dark (makes the dark areas even darker!). This drop in overall brightness should not occur when the exposure is fixed manually. Any fluctuations in exposure are unacceptable, given that every setting is manually set to a fixed value.

- The problem occurs not only with the factory Xiaomi camera app, but also when I am using third-party video shooting apps such as mcpro24fps and MotionCam.
- The problem also occurs when using both the Wide and the Ultra Wide cameras.

This suggests to me that the issue is not caused by the apps or by the cameras, but is most likely caused by some bug in MIUI and/or Android.

What do you think is the cause for this problem?
How can I fix it?
Should I downgrade to an older MIUI and/or Android version?
Or should I root my phone and adjust some setting?

I am currently running:
Android 12
MIUI Global 14.0.1

Here is a video demonstrating the problem. Notice how the whole picture becomes darker when I point the camera down to the bushes:


Thanks in advance!

It seems RAW is enabled only in their "PRO" mode, but that has no auto exposure so each time needs to be tweaked.

This is really dumb and hard to believe it was intended.

3rd party apps I could find do not support the three cameras it has. For example Open Camera (which I used for years on the S10E, but after some OS or app update it became unreliable) can do RAW anytime but does not support the x3 optical zoom.

If there was an "get auto exposure" button on the PRO mode, that would be a reasonable solution, but I can't see one.

Thank you for any tips.

The camera is really good. I also had a Canon G7X Mk 2 which went on Ebay after I got the S23 because it was hardly better.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ and I have an install from Huawei (Huawei Health) that is being blocked by AntiVirus because it didn't come from PlayStore. Despite allowing the browser to be excluded from checking in Settings I'm still receiving the same message. How do I get around this?

So, something changed on my phone or google maps and I didn't do it.
I'm guessing an auto update of Google Maps or Samsung now has my google maps directions playing on my car audio.
I've always had bluetooth on my car/phone but in the last month or so this started.
What could have changed that is now causing GM to do turn by turn directions on my car audio?

Still having this issue randomly. Even with a Z Flip 4. Eventually texting breaks, and all messages stuck 'pending' with the toast message being in the thread title showing. In each case, I have full bars of either 5G+ or LTE+, and data and calling works. I just lose SMS. I'm not alone, as multiple Samsung phones I've owned sporting OneUI do this, and my girlfriend recently had this happen to her A52 5G as well. I prefer the Samsung SMS client overall since you can use custom wallpapers, and it being departed from Google, so I'd rather not change it. The only solution so far is to completely reboot the phone. Unfortunately, doing this also corrupts a lot of my custom widgets and I have to remove and re-add them or they show 'problem loading widget' so that simple reboot equates to an hour plus of reconfiguring my home screens. Has anyone else had this issue recently? Calling Samsung is useless, as they are like any form of modern 'tech support' aka automated crap with very bad at English Indians who think the solution to all the world's problems is 'have you turned off yer dewice and turned it back onnn?'

The company I work for has setup Zero Touch which works with Intune. We are running into some issues on the phone setup side. Does anyone have experience with using Zero touch and Intune? Or know of a site that offers assistance?

I bought the correct Samsung-branded USB-C to HDMI cable in order to mirror my phone screen and audio on the TV at my AirBnB while on holiday. I used this successfully on both my Galaxy Note 10 and my Galaxy Note 8 - audio and video both worked. That TV was a Smart TV, but not a Samsung. Now I'm back home with my non-smart TV, and the cable works fine with my Note 10, but I can't get audio from my Note 8. The screen mirrors fine, but when the HDMI cable is connected, there is no audio from either the TV or the phone itself. When I switch to Samsung Dex, the audio does come through the phone, but not through the TV. The problem is that I can't resize the app to fullscreen when using Samsung Dex, so I'd rather just use screen mirroring. Any solution as to how I can get the audio to work? Thanks.

I have a Hipzo android radio #34523489 with a backup camera. When I put it in reverse I get a 9 diffused picture. Can anyone tell me what is wrong? I have changed three cameras and the same problem.

We're traveling to Europe (Germany and Prague, specifically) and I'm wondering about what the best option is for my phone (or our phones) all on ATT. I'm specifically curious about my phone (S22 Ultra) but if you have thoughts on these other, lesser phones (3 iPhones). I can use wifi calling but then I'm 100% limited to areas with wifi and cannot text. Should I opt for the $10/day international plan? What about another European SIM, something to consider? Or is there another option I should be considering?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Is there a way to copy your old phone setup (I'm talking everything - settings, files, apps, apps settings etc,) when setting up a new android phone?

I got a rooted Samsung galaxy s10+ and went on to unroot it and flash stock firmware using Odin. After flashing, when I insert my simcards, it is able to identify the simcard providers but when I try to make calls, it says not registered on network. When I go to setting and simcard status it says the following:

Network: Emergency calls only
Mobile network state: Disconnected
Service state: out of service
Mobile voice network type: UMTS

How do I fix this? Please help

Hey all

Im trying to add an intent to my java code in order for login/register to be redirected to Main Activity. Have seen examples of intent around the web but unsure of how to add one within my code without messing it up. Does anyone know how to do so?

Thank ya😍

I have a Galaxy A51. The media volume has recently started lessening through phone speakers like when a notification comes in, although there is nothing there. All media I've tried is affected. It lessens up to 3 increments even though the slider and settings all say volume is maxed and don't change. I used to listen to my phone from other rooms, now I can barely hear it while holding it at chest level. Bluetooth and regular headphones are uneffected.
I have restarted the phone, cleared caches, everything is up to date, I've deleted other apps that have recently updated, I've tried safe mode, I've checked volume limit (and tried to set the limit to max), and left the phone off for extended periods of time. This is quite frustrating.

Hey,
I have an application project where BaseActivity.kt is a class inherited by others. I am having trouble implementing Firebase in the PageLoginActivity.kt and PageSignUpActivity.kt classes. Could someone help me? I’ve been working on this for three days, and it’s slowly killing me… Below, I will add piece of the codes.

BaseActivity.kt
abstract class BaseActivity(@LayoutRes val layoutId: Int) :
AppCompatActivity(), BaseControllerFunctionsImpl {
lateinit var binding: T

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
binding = DataBindingUtil.setContentView(this@BaseActivity, layoutId) as T
binding.lifecycleOwner = this
addObservers()
setUpClicks()
onInitialized()
}

(…)

Click to expand...

PageLoginActivity.kt
class PageLoginActivity : BaseActivity(R.layout.activity_page_login) {
private val viewModel: PageLoginVM by viewModels()

override fun onInitialized(): Unit {
viewModel.navArguments = intent.extras?.getBundle(“bundle”)
binding.pageLoginVM = viewModel
}
(…)

Click to expand...

PageSignUpActivity.kt
class PageSignupActivity : BaseActivity(R.layout.activity_page_signup) {

private val viewModel: PageSignupVM by viewModels()

override fun onInitialized() {
viewModel.navArguments = intent.extras?.getBundle(“bundle”)
binding.pageSignupVM = viewModel

Thank you in advance.

I've been using Tetrd for about a year and LOVE it! Ramencoder has done an awesome job.

I ran into a wall today, though. Tetrd stopped working after I applied windows update KB5032189 just now.

When I plug in my USB cable, the Tetrd app doesn't show up on the phone so that I can connect like it normally does. Instead Windows Explorer shows shows up on my laptop showing my phone, and then this message appears (I'm guessing from the server).



No matter what I do, the server always shows "No devices". I've done the obvious trouble-shooting steps with no luck.

Help! I whittled down my hotspot data to the minimum, I need to stay connected for work, I'll run out soon.

Anyone having the same problem? Any ideas?

Here's are the devices, the app has been working great until now.

Phone: Oneplus 10 Pro 5G


Laptop: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. N76VJ 1.0

To unlock this feature you have to hold the volume up and hold button to restart the computer.

I bought a Samsung galaxy s10 e refurbished with snapdragon processor on ebay 2 years ago.I didn't have phone signal in my city and phone would only work if wifi calling option was on and I was connected to wifi,if I was in another city it'd work
A week I changed phone isp and got new sim but it only works in 2g mode and I have to go outside for it to work for example I have to go to the balcony for it to work.
If I enable 4g and go at the balcony It shows vol lte and lte,I have signal but people can't hear me when I call and I also don't have data connection even if it shows lte with 4 or 5 bars of signal
I can only make calls when I change the phone options to use GSM 2g only
Everything else about this phone is perfect and I don't want to buy a new one but if I can't fix it somehow I'll have to do that.
Any ideas what to do?I have watched a lot of YouTube videos even contacted isp and followed the steps they gave me and it didn't fix the problems
