Now days, when ever I download any app, 90% of app want our access of contact list and photos, my question is why. This will make them access our data through apps? My question is these are safe to use or not? We need some of the apps, because we really need them. Lemme know your point of view regarding these apps?

Trying to watch the football game and they keep changing to a sideline Vikings announcer talking to a player while the game is going on. So stupid. People want to watch the game not watch a sideline interview during game play.

Here in the U.K. we have been inundated with TV advertisements for the new Samsung phone for the past month. It seems that almost every ad break on every channel has a range of ad's for Samsung.

However, they have all been for the Samsung Flip5. I have yet to see one for the Fold5 either on TV or the newspapers.

This also happened last year with the launch of the Fold4 and Flip4 although I did see 3 ad slots over the period of a fortnight, for the Fold4.

It seems clear to me that Samsung are heavily promoting the Flip phone probably because it is cheaper and likely to appeal to the masses but I am starting to think that with the lack of promotion of the Fold phone, that I own Samsung's secret love child that must not be mentioned in polite society.

Is it the same in other countries that the Fold is sold in?

Here is a sample of the Samsung ad's that are going out in the U.K...

Today is....

Murena Linux Phones Murena - deGoogled and privacy by design smartphones and cloud services.

Interesting, in the U.S. they have refurbished Pixel 8 with Murena Murena Smartphones – Murena – deGoogled phones and services

It would be something fun to play with

See the Jerry Rig, "Samsung Z Fold 5 Durability Test!", video below.

At around 2' 58" in the video it shows an, "oval plastic portion for the 5G antenna".


Checked my international Fold5 model, F946B D/S, and it does not have this oval plastic portion in the frame.

Is this a peculiarity of some Fold5 minority variants?

I've had mystery notifications (audible notification with no popup) for about two years. Installed Nice Catch and now now the cause of the notifications.
How do I kill this notification.

About 2 months ago the offline maps disappeared from my old LG phone. A few weeks later & they were still missing. But a few days ago they reappeared. IIRC no settings were changed.

I started using a new Samsung phone a few days ago & downloaded an offline map. A message at the bottom of the screen said "You're currently signed out. Any map downloaded while signed out will be deleted when you sign in."

So I signed in & downloaded another offline map. The first map got updated also but why didn’t it get deleted when I signed in? I’ve been unable to duplicate that scenario.

I went back into Maps and both maps were gone. I signed out, signed in, but maps were gone. Since one map was downloaded while being signed in I'd think that one would have been saved but it wasn’t.

If downloaded while signed in, maps seems to always come back when I toggle between sign out & sign in, except for what happened above. Did that get messed up because maps were downloaded under both scenarios?

My concern is what happened with the old LG phone. AFAIK I never changed the sign out / sign in setting because I just found out about it. IOW are offline maps stable?

Any comments would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi my question is this. Most free emailproviders have an expiration policy, so you must log in every x months to keep your account. Now as long as you use their own android app, never a problem. But what if I use for example Bluemail or other third party app for protonmail account or AOL? Does that also count as "logged in" in terms of expiration policy? Thanks, Niels

I am looking for a very small mouse to use with my Z Fold 4. I have a couple Logitech mouse (mouses? mice? lol) but they are a little too big for what I am looking for. They are 3.7" long and 2.25" wide. I am looking for just a little smaller.

What do you prefer?

Unfortunately I don't know much about this subject. would you be able to tell me if there is any difference. I recently did a test and it seems to me that the sound on YouTube is clearer than on Spotify.

Hello everyone!

I've worked a lot with my P10 Lite and now i think I'm bricked. I'm blocked on recovery (emui doesn't start). I tried with Huawei eRecovery to "download latest version and recovery", but he says "getting package info failed". I tried pressing the 3 keys (with set folder dload etc..) and the installation fails at 5%. So through Multi Tool i have this situation:



I have a Huawei P10 Lite WAS-LX1A with kirin 658. Is there any way to reset everything and recover it?? Thank you!!!

Get ready to geek out, tech enthusiasts, because the Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro are gearing up for their grand debut around October! You know how Google does it – they're cooking up some smartphone magic, and we've got the scoop on the sizzling details.

Our gadget whisperer, Roland Quandt from Winfuture, has been at it again, dishing out the freshest tidbits about the Pixel 8 series. Picture this: both the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro are rolling in with a cool 128 GB of storage right off the bat. They're not playing around when it comes to space! But wait, there's more – the Pixel 8 goes big with a bonus 256 GB version, while the Pixel 8 Pro takes things up a notch with 256 GB and a whopping 512 GB flavors. RAM power doesn't get left behind either, sticking to the script with 8 GB for the Pixel 8 and a Pro-worthy 12 GB option.

Colors, people! Let's talk colors. The standard Pixel 8 struts its stuff in three dapper shades: Licorice, Haze, and Peony. Now, if you're ready to level up to Pro status, you'll still rock that Licorice hue, but you'll be trading your Haze and Peony dreams for a sleek Porcelain and a sky-bright Sky. It's like Google's giving us a rainbow of options to match our vibes.

So, there you have it, the lowdown on Google's soon-to-be superstar duo. We're just drooling over the storage specs and those trendy colorways. It's all looking mighty fine, and it's giving us some serious phone goals. Can't wait to see these bad boys hit the stage!

And hey, if you're in the mood for some ear candy to go with your new Pixel, don't forget you can snag the Google Pixel Buds Pro on Amazon. Time to tech it up!

Before I proceed, let me explain that I am recently employed into this new company as a junior IT support. I mainly do hardware with very2 little programming knowledge. Recently my company upgraded to a newer server and we have changed the location of the databases. However our apps are still pointing towards the old server url/location. I have been in contact with the app developers on how to change the configuration of the apk; in which it needs to be decompiled. They are engaged in a big project and was unable to assist me at this moment. Instead, they have given me the whole folder containing all the source code (Shown in the screenshot).



I was asked to:-

1. Change the URL setting in on of the config.ts file contained in the res folder - done -
2. Recompile everything to APK so that the 'new' apk can be installed on our mobile android devices.

Upon reading the README file in the folder, it is obvious I am supposed to rebuild this apk app using nativescript. Please see screenshots:-





My questions / Issues :-

1. I have done the steps required in the README file such as:-
   a. Install [node js] (https://nodejs.org/dist/v10.15.1/node-v10.15.1-x64.msi). Make sure to use version > v10 LTS (I am now using ver v12.22.12)
   b. Install Nativescript CLI using git bash
   npm install -g nativescript
   Done
   c. Install Java SE Development Kit 8u201 Done
   d. Install [Android Studio] (Download Android Studio & App Tools - Android Developers) Done
   e. Create android emulator. Done
   f. Clone this repository. <---- How is this done correctly? Do I copy the whole project folder and place it under an active working folder to generate the apk app? Please advise
2. Do I run the .sh script PRIOR to running the related commands in tns such as 'tns android build' / 'tns android debug'?
3. I did a tns debug android using command prompt (Admin rights) in the folder path and received :-

1. I also did tns doctor just to check my configurations are correct or otherwise:-
   

I DID refer back to the developer of this app, however he did not have any comments rather than the android apk was created using nativescript (duh!). I have also send him the exact same question here however he is not replying as prompt as I expected. Would appreciate if anyone with the expertise could assist and guide me moving forward. Many thanks.

Hello,

As backup for the bank card, I'd like to get an NFC-capable Android smartphone.

Ideally, it should be < €/$200 new (I don't mind buying it second-hand, so it could more expensive new), and have a < 5,5" screen — besides the extra weight, I find Xiaomi Redmi Note 5's 6" screen a bit big, and liked Huawei P9 Lite's 5,2" better. Considering the price, I guess I'll go for Chinese brands again.

Does NFC work well on all phones, or are some clearly better/worse than others?

Thank you.

Hello,

After I swipe down from top>swipe down from top>press search icon then I see this the search bar and 4 panels below, screenshot
How to remove all the panels seen below the search bar in Samsung and never let them appear again?? Thanks

Hi all,

kind of a weird question due to some special circumstances:

I have an older (ca. 2019) Amazon 10" Fire tablet running something like FireOS 7.xx which AFAIK was still based on Android 5.x. I also have a Galaxy J-something smartphone (running Android 7.x IIRC) somewhere which I can't find atm, unfortunately (I've been using non-Android phones for years). So this is about said Amazon tablet primarily.

I have the Google Play store installed on the tablet (as per several instructions on the net), and it generally works fine. Since I installed the Google Play app, I only ever got apps from there.

Now I'd like to buy the Caustic 3 synthesizer Android app, which is still widely regarded as the best app of this kind for Android. It may (or may not) be abandoned, but you seemingly can still buy it at Google Play. Last version was (and probably will alway be) 3.2 from 2013.

This app comes as a freely downloadable base app and a separate for-purchase "Unlock Key" (no IAP). If I look it up in the Play Store from my desktop PC, it looks like both are still in the store and most importantly, you can still purchase the unlock key.

However, if I try to find it in the Play Store bolted-on to the Amazon tablet, both are nowhere to be found. That's a bit weird since the app should run fine on Anroid 5.x. Amazon's own (kinda joke of an) app store has the (v3.1!) program itself, but not the unlock key.

There have been some reports of people running the Amazon-downloaded app with a Google Play-acquired unlock key, but I can't see how that could work.
In my case, this would require me to purchase the unlock key in some way off the tablet (maybe inside the desktop browser?), and then to somehow get it onto the tablet and hopefully, the unlock magic would still work then.

I never read anything about downloading the APK files of your own purchases directly from Google Play to anything other than the final target device and, even if such an APK download was feasable, I have no idea whether or not the licensing-DRM-whatever magic can be made to work after an APK transfer.

Please note that I'm only ever talking here about making a legitmately purchased app work and not about 'hacks' or such of any kind.

Could someone tell me if and how this could work?

I apologize in case this has been discussed before in another thread but my search turned up nothing that hit the spot (downloading your "own" APKs and "messing with it").

TIA

Is it possible to use a tablet like a Samsung Galaxy tablet with android auto? I am not talking about using the tablet as the head unit. I am talking about using the tablet instead of my phone to connect to AA on my infotainment screen.

I was stuck in the download Mode in my A51. Using SamFW FRP tool 3.31 i exit the download mode. Now only the blue screen pops. When I click the volume up to enter download mode it goes to a black screen mode and nothing appears in my PC. How can i fix this?





When i click volume up it goes to a black screen.
