MX Enjoy TV box pink screen

B
Hi all,
I've got a MX Enjoy TV box for overseas channel subscription (BalkaniYUm).
Works fine, I bought a new Android TV yesterday Kogan U94T and I'm not getting any sound and there's a pink hue over the whole screen.
Tried different ports.
Tried new HDMI cable.
Everything else I plug into the TV works perfectly.
Plug the box into old TV works fine.
Tried all the different resolutions on the box and still the same.

Please help
Thankyou in advance.

speech to text

A
Speech to text (as used for e-mail and text messaging) is common on Android phones but I find nothing for Android tablets. Doing e-mail from a Anfroid tablet is simple enough and more than a few people like to talk their e-mail content rather than type it.
Is there any basic reason speech to text should be more difficult for a tablet than for a phone (seems unlikely to me)?
Are there ways to do speech to text on a tablet?

No Root Firewall emergency

R
I can't find it. I was checking whether it was on the sd card with Simple File Manager and it didn't show it, SD or internal either. I can't search googoo files. When I look in apps it's there, but I can't put it on sd from there. I have to put it on SD to transfer it to the Moto G Pure I just bought in order to stop those creeps from taking over MY phone.

Samsung J2 Pro app update boot-loop, need contacts

TThompson
So, trying to help out a mate whose phone started to optimise apps and hit "63 of 63" before rebooting. It complains about a missing file/directory, though the friend says nothing was done by him other than turning it on. I charged it overnight and then tried the old "wipe cache" from the recovery menu, but still stuck. I thought maybe I could browse the system using Samsung software or a variant of Linux, but nothing sees it.

Is it cactus? Was just really after the contacts.

kotlin/jetpack search list

K
I am looking for some advice on an app I have been developing over the last couple months. In an abstract explanation, the app's main screen (MainScreen()) shows items that the user has added. There is an add button which loads an add screen (AddScreen()) which by default shows all possible items that can be added. I have a search text field with a filter list underneath and have implemented some logic that has them work together to only show items that match both the search and filter criteria.

Currently, I am using just a regular mutable list to hold items that should be displayed. If there's nothing in the search text field and no filters are selected than we just assign the entire list (defined in a view model) to the regular mutable list in AddScreen()

Code: 
val resultsList = mutableListOf<whatever>()
...
if (dontFilter && dontSearch)
    resultsList = viewmodel.itemMap.values.toMutableList()
else {
    // do search/filter logic
    resultsList.add(whateverItem)
}
LazyColumn(items = resultsList) {
...
}

the variables that are associated with the search text field (onValueChange) and filters (onClick) are all state variables but should the resultsList be a state variable defined in the view model as well?

I have a random bug that I am trying to find but cannot seem to reproduce when I try. It may have something to do with process death but after I have added an item from AddScreen and then click add to load AddScreen again, the list sometimes does not show all possible items (all of ItemMap.values in above example), even though the search text field and filters have been cleared.

I need to pay more attention to whether this happens after I am using an already running an instance of the app (and process death may have occurred) or if it is a new instance... I am thinking the former though because it always seems to happen when I am quickly trying to show someone else the app (naturally...) as opposed to me restarting an app while testing after a code change.

Any advice?

Black bar at bottom of screen. Help.

B
Hello. (Samsung Galaxy S7) All of the sudden this black bar appears at the bottom of my screen, ..it's a little bit over 1/8".....it doesn't bother me except can't see bottom of the icons on text messages and a few apps. My phone and battery are fine, and internet is fine except this black bar blocks things on some websites and text messeges. The phone is about 4 years old tops and works good.... Just feel like I did something to cause this black bar and want to find a solution. I have tried deleting apps, and doing alot of obvious things. i have researched it and can't find a solution...Thank you, Barb

One Plus 3T microphone issue

W
I have a 3T that I want to dedicate to an app that needs the microphone. The microphone is not working in any app. I even tried Gmail, making sure to give permission and Gmail hears nothing. I have looked at a lot of settings and all seems to be correct but maybe I am missing something? Can anyone suggest how to turn on my microphone? Thanks.

Not more goo

R
I had hardly noticed docs, sheets, and slides on the Moto G Plus. When I investigated, I found out that not only are they part of the horrifying googooplex but they actually contain mb of data. I certainly did not put anything there as far as I know. What could this dark matter be?
