Video scrubbing on the S21

Hi,

I've been experimenting with frame grabs from high res video and therefore I've been dragging the play head along the play line to find the parts I want to grab. Trouble is, every time I do this, you get the supposedly 'helpful' hint box pop up on the screen to tell you that you can drag upwards to increase the scrub speed...this hint box is on screen for the entire time you're dragging the play head and obscures whatever image is showing on screen, making it nigh on impossible to accurately stop the play head at the most in focus frame you want to capture!!

Anyone know if there's a way to turn the hint box off ?

I do have Vid Trim Pro on the phone and that has a frame grab facility and better still, you can advance the video forwards one frame at a time which makes it much easier, altho if you go past the frame you can't backup quite so easily.

Anyone use or know of a decent frame grab app that actually works and will allow you to nudge playback both forwards and backwards to locate that perfect frame ?

Many thanks for your time.

Screen Capture with MediaProjection to texture_id

I am capturing the screen continuously using

mVirtualDisplay = mMediaProjection.createVirtualDisplay("ScreenCapture", mSurfaceView.getWidth(), mSurfaceView.getHeight(), mScreenDensity, DisplayManager.VIRTUAL_DISPLAY_FLAG_AUTO_MIRROR,mSurface, null, null);

I want to pass this mSurface as a texture to NDK (OpenGL). I could not find away to do this. Your help would be appreciated!

WIFI Authentication Problem

I have a Gretel GT 6000 which I believe runs Android 7.

Recently I have been unable to connect to my home WIFI as I keep getting the Authentication Problem message.

I have tried all the methods i have found on the web to resolve this but nothing so far has worked.

Is there a way I can make the phone connect to the web (so I can check my email mainly) without connecting via WIFI.

Although it's a cheap mobile in all other respects it is working fine.

Help Questions about factory reset

Hi,
I'm not super tech savvy, but I usually know enough for what I do on my tablet. After talking to numerous people, we've come to the conclusion that I need to perform a factory reset on my Samsung Galaxy Tab A. I've never done this on any device and I'm scared to. I DO have an SD card in my tablet and I have every picture on my tablet moved to the SD card and every file etc that's able to move, moved to my SD card. Can anyone tell me what to do next? I don't have any work stuff or anything crucial on here, I'd say my pics are the most important things to me, but they are on my SD card. Do I remove my SD card before doing a factory reset or leave it in? And after the reset, how do I access the stuff on my SD card? And help/advice would be super appreciated.

I am having a problem with my new Samsung Galaxy NOTE 20 ULTRA phone.

I've logged 200+ hours in phone calls to iphone support and samsung support and verizon support, which has been a 3 ring circus show of untrained reps that have no idea what they are saying, and are just copy and paste snippets from outdated help documents. I have had to piece everything together by myself.

I am hoping to find an expert on here with experience Android mobile phone (NOTE 20 GALAXY ULTRA) system speed optimization?

Why, you ask?

My SMS.db has grown too large, and it is causing the phone to be slow. Also I cannot search quickly through messages. If you have experience with optimizing SMS.db and speeding up phone, please apply. I am having a mental breakdown and losing my mind over this. :)

This all started back in Jan 2021, when I switched from iPhone 10 to Samsung Note 20. I had previously been using Iphone for 10 years, and decided to make the switch to Android. I am absolutely loving the Android NOTE 20, but loathing the migration process, which has been fraught with roadblocks.

Needless to say, this entire migration process has been a challenge. But I was able to successfully migrate my SMS data from the Iphone to Android. Notice I said SMS data? Yes, without MMS. :( I tried iSyncios, Smart Switch, Dr. Fone, Imobie, AnyTrans, IBackUpBot and Imazing software, and none of the could successfully transfer all of my SMS with MMS. The only software that was able to successfully transfer only the SMS was called AnyDroid, but it did not transfer MMS (only SMS). So I reluctantly settled for that, because the other softwares could not even recognize the SMS.db database. All others were simply unable to recognize my SMS.db file from iphone (which happens to be 200GB SMS.db file). I have been told that 200GB is not that large, but it is "large-ish"

Before attempting to transfer my SMS from iphone to android, I tried uploading all of my iphone SMS to ICLOUD, however, that did not work either. The iphone starts to transfer and then it goes about 1 mb every hour in upload speed and fails. I have tried multiple PC's, tried deleting the icloud, renabling, re-formatting the iphone, etc, nothing worked. I made dozens of calls to Iphone support, more frustration, getting no where. This leads me to believe that there's a corruption inside of the SMS.db that needs to be examined by a developer with experience.

If I can fix the SMS.db, then perhaps it would finally upload to ICLOUD, and then I could use these 3rd party softwares to download it from ICLOUD into the ANDROID.

Come, journey deeper into my nightmare...

Here are the main issues:

1. SMS is very slow to send a text message, whether sending from default Samsung Messages App, or from Google Messages app, each message is taking 7+ seconds to send a simple message. I have tried clearing the cache on the apps (does not fix) I need to find a developer who can clearly articulate their understanding of this problem, and provide a clear description of how they will approach resolution. Switching to Textra did not work either. I need the text message database to be fixed, so that the phone can find message content instantly, without taking forever to search through the messages. This will require that we clean up the SMS.db as well I think, and reduce the size. I need all work to happen via screen share, I will connect my phone to the screen, and you will have full control of the phone.


2. The SMS search function does not really work at all. I tried using Google Message app, but when I ran a few search tests, it does not properly index all of my messages, only a certain amount of my messages. Is there anyone who understands why this happening? It seems like it is only indexing 30 days or something. I need to find someone who with experience with this issue, and understands how to compress the SMS.db database, and essentially due "surgery" on the SMS.db, and clear out large files to minimize the database size, while maintaining the MMS inside of the text message threads. Then, ultimately, I need a developer who can explain how they will cache the database so that the search functions happen faster, as I can't be waiting 20-30 seconds for a search to complete. I think the SMS database may have some character corruptions, and needs to be examined by a developer and fixed, perhaps some bad characters stuck in there? I need to find a developer who can clearly articulate their understanding of this problem, and provide a clear description of how they will approach resolution. I need to find a developer who can clearly articulate their understanding of these issues, and provide a description of how they will approach resolution.

3. Contacts profile photos are not showing in some contacts. I need someone to help me find a way to sync up my contact profile photos from the old Iphone database.

If you can help fix these problems please write back with a clear description (INLINE) detailing how you will approach resolution.

Please put your reply under each point listed above. Leave the point listed, and do not delete it, put your reply BELOW it.

In conclusion, I need to get my new Android phone to index my entire 200GB SMS database (which was previously on Iphone 10) , fix the slow search speed by implementing a cache solution (requires advanced knowledge of android code and infrastructure) fix the problem of slow sending SMS.

Please let me know what your approach will be for each point, along with your hourly rate, and estimate of hours to resolve.

All I really want is to be able to search my text messages without the app crashing, send text messages without having to lag issues, and get my MMS inside of my original SMS.db

Is that so much to ask? :)
