Newse: unbiased world news and current events

Hey! I just published my new app - unofficial client for Wikipedia Current Events page. Newse will help you to find news listed on a daily basis with a link to background articles. The primary importance are international events. App contains brief summaries of the international news events. If you need more information about some topic, you can find links to Wikipedia articles, as well as external news articles. With Wikipedia as an source of information Newse is avoiding editorials and opinion pieces laden with point-of-view or sensationalism. Also each of Newse events has at least one working link to a reliable source. Hope it will be a useful for some of you guys or at least interesting. It's still under development so have mercy on me ;)

low storage

My device keeps saying "unfortunately this stopped, and unfortunately that stopped" and then rebooting. I managed to get to google play updated and it said "you are very low on storage". Usually my clean sweep prompts for me to remove storage but I guess it hasn't. I can run it manually, but before I can get to it I get messages that everything has stopped, and the tablet reboots.

How can I stay on long enough to delete things, without it rebooting?

Progress, but only slowly.

The UK telecoms regulator has announced that UK service providers will be banned from locking phones to their service. They've taken their own sweet time to realise that even when unlocking procedures officially exist it is still a restrictive practice, but they've got there eventually.

The bad news is that they've given the service providers a whole year to make a trivial adjustment. And one of the biggest (Vodafone) has already said that they will comply once it's legally required (which implies that they will keep locking handsets until the last minute).

I haven't bought a locked handset this century, but I'll be glad to see the back of this BS anyway. Now if they'll just stop carriers messing with the firmware, delaying updates and adding bloat to the ROM... ;)

Help Clone Android App

Hi All,

Long time lurker here. Long story short, I've been trying to clone an exact copy of a paid subscription App (of which, the subscription has expired long ago) for a few years now(unsuccessfully) from my S5 to my S9+(the S7 died long ago). I have tried many, many 'clone' & 'backup' apps to no avail(these simply copy the apk & load it onto the new phone/tablet which doesn't include user data etc. Any Apps out there that actually work(I don't mind buying one/paying) as the subscription renewal is quite expensive(it is for a car diagnostic Tablet for my car) which is unaffordable for me to update as I am just a DIY.

Thanks in advance fr any advice offered.

App folders not transferring, help!

I have a Samsung S8, I recently purchased the Samsung S20+. I have tried using Smart Switch twice to transfer everything from the S8 to the S20+ and the app folders aren't transferring. I'm hoping there is a simple solution here to get the app folders to transfer and populate because the alternative is spending hours creating the folders on the new device and populating them with the apps.

Android ADB Authorization Cert getting revoked itself on the Same Desktop

I am communicating via desktop to a Samsung Android phone . OS is latest . I have done "Allow always" on the same desktop I use every day for authorization of the key . But to my surprise I keep getting pop up authorization message on the phone after a few days . I do not want to kill-server all the time to make it work or anything. However, I have restarted the phone as well. My USB cable is perfect. Why is the certificate getting revoked and I have to authorize again after a few days?
Thanks

Apps ARCore app crashing on Android Emulator

I'm developing an ARCore app with Unity and I'm trying to test it on Android Studio's Android Emulator. I've built the .apk file and installed it on the virtual device but the app crashes a few seconds after starting up. Before that, it's only possible to see the app's UI, while the rest of the screen is completely black.

I've already installed the latest version of the Google Play Services for AR, set the virtual device's back camera to show the Virtual Scene, and I've also allowed my app to access the camera in the virtual device settings, but the problem persists. Also, the Virtual Scene works fine on the camera app, it just doesn't work inside my app.

Here is the stack trace, up to the point where the app crashes:

If someone could help me out with this, I would be really thankful.
