I have used eReader Prestígio and Speech Recognition and Synthesis by Google to listen to books every day for years and had nothing but positive reviews to share. A few days ago, however, that changed.

After the screen goes off, the TTS goes on functioning perfectly as usual until, a few minutes in, the online/network voice turns into the offline/local voice. This is, quite frankly, an enormous problem for me, since the first is as natural-sounding as it gets for free while the second sounds rather robotic and off-putting. If I unlock my phone and open the reader the natural voice resumes. Like clockwork, a few minutes after the screen goes dark, the voice suffers the atmosphere-shattering change again. If I leave it running it goes on for a few more minutes and then the read aloud functionality stops altogether.

I never had, nor currently have, this problem with my old Oukitel Y4800 (Android 9), which keeps working correctly hours after the screen goes off, but it is happening now with my new Xiaomi Redmi 12 (Android 13), which I just bought as replacement due to irreparable battery issues. I also tried a different phone, a Leeco X829 (Android 13), and it encounters that issue as well.

I have checked the WiFi network, the battery settings, the app permissions, and I can't seem to find what's causing this to occur. I tried running previous versions of both the reader and the engine and nothing changes. I even tried running other e-book readers, such as Evie, and TTS browsers, like T2S, but the issue somehow persists.

Since it's something I use several hours a day I'd truly appreciate if someone would be able to help me solve this.

People keep telling me Android can't run out of RAM. They're wrong. The OS can't perform magic. It must swap to disk, this is slow. On my old 2GB RAM phone, it runs out, it even takes longer to open the lock screen than it gives me to swipe the pattern, then times itself out! This insane idea of not completely closing apps is a mess, all those things which can notify you: text, email, ebay, they all sit in the background waiting for a notification to hand you. I need to see what's using the most RAM, and not just close it like the cleaner programs do, but manually decide one is too big and tell it not to open at boot, just when I choose to. And there needs to be a way to completely close an app and not have it reopen, like on a computer. Perhaps we need someone to make a whole new interface, like they do with Linux.

What happened to this website? It's gone all plain white. I actually thought I'd gone to the wrong place and spent ages hunting down which forum I usually use!

I really wanted the itel P40, but I see it comes with Android Go Edition, so I'm settling for the itel A60S. Yet it's so confusing with mixed info all over - some places say it comes with Go Edition others just say Android 12. Can anyone clarify, pls.

Help! My Bluetooth earphone buttons don't work anymore. I can't adjust the volume or skip tracks. Any ideas on how to fix this?

I have a Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra. I'd like to be able to be able to set on my phone whether a paired device will connect automatically or prompt me every time. Does anyone know of an app that can do that? The stock Bluetooth connection settings don't seem to have that functionality.

Thanks.

I have a.Samsung S23. Over the last month it started skipping letters while I was typing texts, doing searches, using FB messenger. etc. (Basically I hit the key and it didn't type the letter). Sometimes the skipping was frequent, other times occasional). I tried uninstalling various apps, using different keyboards, different texting apps, cleared cache, etc. Nothing worked. Verizon finally sent me a replacement phone and I used Smartswitch to move all my stuff to the new phone. I had this new phone for a week and all was fine. Today it started skipping again. So obviously this is not a phone issue since the new phone is doing it now. Could this be an app? Maybe I should have done a factory reset instead of using Smartswitch, does that make a diff? Where do I go from here?

Does Sm-a115f/ds support 4g cdma ?

I bought a pair of cheapo JVC HA-A5T bluetooth earphones. They pair, connect and play fine but I can't make the buttons do anything. My previous earphones worked fine. What might I be doing wrong?

I tried setting up my tablet and I guess I set it up so good I locked myself out.

Had this thing for two years and just now set it up as I wasn’t able to use it due to my shit internet-well it’s not shit anymore, just the tablet is now lol

When I set it up I was trying to be smart and made a new Gmail for it and thought I didn’t need to write it down, I can’t remember the email or the pin I set up (4 digits)…

Can someone please help?

Are there any Roms I can put on it to get around the account sign in? I tried to do a factory reset and it needs the new gmail I set up for it that I can’t remember I just want to use it so any help is appreciated.

I have the above mentioned phone that was working fine looking at photos from my trail cameras. The only problem was that google photos was backing them all up when I didn't want it to. So I turned off the automatic backup in google photos and now it doesn't even recognize the card reader at all. It shows that it's charging the device when I plug it in now.

Hello everyone,
this is my first thread so I hope that this will bring me to a solution.
I recently bought a SMART IR Blaster for my phone that connects via otg port. I'm currently making an app to control every
kind of device of all brands. I installed the app made for this IR and works perfectly, so I wanted to decompile it and get some code to implement the IR in my app. I tried to recreate many functions from com.esmart.ir package and made the permission request but it didn't work...
The app is called Ocrustar, available on google play store.
I'll pay 10€ via paypal if anyone can send me a working method, possible in java

I don't know if folks remember that I used to run. Well, I did. I ran 4 marathons and various other races like 5Ks, 10Ks, etc. While in my running days, I developed a neuroma in the ball of my foot, which is a thickening of the the nerve between the 3rd and 4th toes, which makes running nearly impossible so I stopped.

So much happened since. I herniated my disc, lost my first wife to cancer, remarried and had a baby who's 9 months. No running, only walking. Well, skip ahead to nowadays. In June I ordered two more pairs of walking shoes from Amazon. They send me one pair of walking shoes and one of running shoes. Mistake? Yes, but no. I wondered if I could run again. I liked the running shoes. I looked it up online and the running shoe had a low heel drop. What does that mean? If you look at typical running shoes (not flats) nowadays, they are higher at the heel, dropping to the toe box. I looked it up and you WANT a low heel drop to take pressure off the ball of your foot, especially for a neuroma. Well, I've been running since June and have entered my first 5K in about 15 years this Sunday!

Another issue is that I really pushed a run yesterday, it was slow and my lungs were tight. I have a new pulmonologist who, I believe, is beginning more accurately to treat my asthma. I started on his treatment (nebulizer) last night and had ZERO usual problems this morning considering it's allergy season.

My run was easy and fast with no chest tightness! I shaved 6 minutes off my 5K time from yesterday. SIX MINUTES! No pain and I felt like I was flying! Additionally, AppleWatch said my V02 Max jumped some points between yesterday and today. After the 5k distance today, I finished running completing 5 miles. I am so happy about this that I had to share what is essentially a fitness rebirth for me. Can't wait for Sunday now!

Thanks for reading.

It's hard to believe that AndroidForums.com has been around since early 2008!

I'd love to collect a list of member-favorite "Greatest Moments" from our history to look back on as we prepare for the next evolution of our community.

For me, nothing matches the hype, excitement, and energy that I experienced here at the launch of the HTC Droid Incredible!

Android Upgrades have come a long way since I've been able work my app.
To upgrade a feature in my app, I'm unable to find out how to do it. For security purposes, android no longer allows reads or writes for dirs outside the app's project structure.
My feature was to backup and restore json data for the sqlite database. The reasoning is if a user upgrades their phone, they could install my app, then rebuild the database from the data of their prior phone.
I've looked at Dropbox. Not able to get it working. And, I'm not sure if the data goes to my Dropbox or the user's Dropbox. I'm willing to have it on my Dropbox because it should be low volume, but not sure. Dropbox is more secure because it does not go through external dirs.
Is there some way to accomplish this feature and can someone help with Dropbox implementation.

Hello. I'm not having any issues with anything; I'm just wondering about this. In the Google Play Store, it has been showing that I have an install pending. This message has been there for quite some time (months). I've tried to figure out what it's referring to, but I can't find anything.

Does anyone have any idea what this is, or maybe how to figure it out, if it wouldn't be too complicated?

Thank you for your suggestions.

Which is the best company for testing a mobile app?

I have been adding web pages to my home screen & organising into folders alongside related apps. Yesterday all those web pages suddenly disappeared leaving just the apps in the folders.

There had been several 3rd party app updates a few hours before, but no system app updates for a couple of weeks (I've disabled auto update).

So, any ideas about why all these web pages have just disappeared &, more importantly, how I can find & restore then? Also, how can I prevent this happening again?

Thanks

Hi All,

I am new to Android Development World. I have the .apk ready and need to test in the Testing environment (i.e., Desktop Computer) which does not have internet.

Please suggest me what are all the software's needs to be installed (i.e., offline installation) in that machine.

Thank you.

Hello Everyone,

I am on the lookout for older Android applications that have been neglected or are no longer in active development. Specifically, I'm interested in apps that were created before the year 2015 - 2016 . If you happen to be an Android developer with such apps in your portfolio and are willing to sell them, I am ready to make a purchase.

If you have an old Android app that you're considering selling or know someone who does, please don't hesitate to reach out to me. I am open to discussing various terms and arrangements.

Feel free to contact me through this forum or send me a private message to initiate a conversation. Let's work together to give these old gems a new lease on life.

Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Best regards.
