Hello,
I’m trying to figure out what this notification icon is at the top left...the P icon with the little heart beside it.

As the title suggests, I'm a former (and still largely) Apple user. I'm becoming more platform agnostic over time and got my first Android recently - the Samsung Galaxy S10.

One thing that I don't like about Apple (and seems like this might apply to all) is that you need to either push content to their cloud (and subscribe to cloud storage) OR subscribe to streaming music.

On my Apple, I've purchased my music - song by song - since 2003 (and might even be the occasional audio file from Napster or Limewire). I've backed up my Library onto a physical external hard drive over the years. I sync my iPhone with my iTunes library (on my macbook), which creates a copy of the library and retrieves the music from the Apple store (unless I specify to download my music) so the space occupied on the phone is limited. I do NOT pay any monthly fees to Apple for anything.

Now, on my new phone, I can drop the audio files into the 'Music' folder and play them with an app like 'Folder Music' - but I see two drawbacks, 1) I need to actually copy all the files to my phone and that consumes alot of space and 2) the music is not easy to organize. On Apple, I can browse and create a playlist in the music app or on my macbook and then copy to the phone.

So the questions I have are:
Thanks to all in advance.

I just got a Vankyo Matrixpad S8 running Android 9. I have the sound turned off (the little bell icon). I also have made triple sure to have all Accessibility speaking features turned off. And yet, when I plug speakers into the device, and I autorotate the device, it reads out the current time, and any notifications. It's so weird. I keep checking settings, but I can't see anything left to turn off. It seems like a bug. Anyone heard of this or experienced it??.....

for those of you that celebrate Xmas.......i wish my fellow AF family a merry Xmas. i know it will be a tough one as i hope most of you guys are not doing large gatherings this year, pandemic and all.

i just finished my first glass of wine......here in L.A. its 10 am, so yes im starting early.....LOL

right now i'm just chilling before i start cooking the Xmas meal. you can follow what i'm making here:https://androidforums.com/threads/xmas-dinner.1331841/

anyways stay safe my AF family and i hope you have a great Xmas!!!!!!

So the problem started when I started making a dice roll app and tried to install in my phone(Vivo y55s). There was weird black background instead of white one(My question is here too but not answered https://stackoverflow.com/questions...ackground-when-app-is-installed-in-smartphone). I found that I was having the same problem when I created new 'Empty Activity' project(Android Lollipop 4.1 SDK) and simply install the apk in my phone after building it. So what could be the issue? The codes are default when we create an Empty Activity in AS and somehow I am getting full black screen and Hello World text in center(it works fine in emulator though).

I want my status bar's clock to not only show me hours and minutes but show me hours, minutes and seconds. But I have no idea how I can do it with my Honor 10 Lite. I first tried to look on my phone's settings but there was no option to do that. Then I tried to access the System UI Tuner by pressing the gear icon in the notification panel. That did not work either. So I tried some System UI Tuner apps and some other apps thats should works, but non of those worked.

Now I have no idea if it is even possible in my phone. Because in my friends phone it can be done just by going to status bar settings and selecting the clock to show seconds.

If someone can help me with that problem I will be so happy. Thanks!

Is it possible to mount the Android Phone's sd card as an Windows drive letter
without any third party software?

Would it be possible to add a "Forward" button? For instance say I'm in the (for lack of being able to think of another app), but I'm in the Amazon app, on page 8 and I accidentally click the "Back" button, going back to page 7. but I need to go back to page 8, I need a "Forward" button to return to page 8. The back button will take you back to page 6. As it is, I have find the link I used to go to page 8.

Does my explanation make sense? I can try to do a better job if needed.

I am thinking about switching to Android, from Iphone X, and I have 5 years of SMS text message threads which I do not want to lose. Is there any way to do this easily when I switch to Android? Will I lose all those SMS conversations ? Your recommendations, insights and guidance is greatly appreciated.

We are working in an app where we need to fetch contact and select a few of them to send phone number and name to server for checking if they are app users. But Google keeps rejecting for privacy issues related to fetching and sending contact to server saying we need to ask for permission from users. We have put in a custom alert displaying why contacts are being fetched, but the app still got rejected. Can anyone help with an insight on this?

I'm running updated version of android... don't know why its vanished

Ok, I'm trying to figure out how to root my Samsung SM-T820 tablet. I just noticed a few days ago it's running Android 7 and figure I should see if I can get it up to Android 9 or 10. I found instructions on how to root it. The instructions say to go to sammobile.com and download the firmware. But, when I go to the website and click on firmware and select sm-t820, I then need to pick a country. I live in the USA. It's not listed... It's not listed as USA or United States. How could they forget about a huge country like us? I figure I must be overlooking something.

Hey I know Thom is here, just wondering what are the new features for Moto Edge Plus?

I've had this phone for over a year, and now suddenly the mobile services manager is suggesting new apps. Why has it suddenly started doing this. I saw on Google that msm is a built in app, that uses large amount of data. But nothing to explain why it's suddenly started doing this. Does anybody know why, and does anybody know how to stop this. I know you can't turn off the msm, but I'm hoping that I can stop it from showing up in my notification area pushing games/apps I don't want.

Hello I just got a Samsung j320a and I have 254 system apps on it and some CRAZY shot going down

I am a new guy in this Android world.

In a new app, I read 3 fields from a bunch of rows from a Sqlite DB.

One of this fields is called “path” and I need it in the SecondActivity.

The name of the table is “sections”.



Select * from sections order by name;



This gives me a ListView in the MainActivity, from it I can select one row.

What I need is the following:



1.- To send the selected “path” to the SecondActivity.

2.- This field “path” can have only three possible values, 1,2 or 3.

Now based on this value,



if path = 1 =====> I must display image1.png

if path = 2 =====> I must display image2.png

if path = 3 =====> I must display image3.png



Any ideas or some examples to help me???

Thank you in advance.



Sincerely,

Rafael

I just got a Pixel 4a 5G. It has android 11. I learned you can change what apps are pinned to your share sheet. I pinned 4 apps and now my share option has changed. When you first click on the 3 dot menu in Chrome a page shows up with lots of options. One is SHARE but it also has an icon next to it for one share app. My K-9 mail was there before I pinned other apps. Now my Messages are there. I want to get my K-9 mail back there but I can't figure out how to do it. I have attached two screen shots. One shows the share option (with the messages icon instead of the K-9 mail icon that was there before) and one shows the share sheet. I would appreciate any help you can give. Thanks!

Can I make calls through my PC via wifi if I don't have Android 7.0? I don't know that that version can be installed on my phone.


Thanks.
