Help Phone is unresponsive to charging or button input

J
So my Samsung S7 active was fine last night. plugged it in to charge and went to bed everything was fine. I woke up and the phone still had a red light (indicating phone is still charging). I unplugged it and the red light stayed on and the screen failed to light up. none of the buttons yielded any sort of response. And any attempt to do any sort of reboot or soft reset had any effect. hours later the red light went off but still no response from anything.
I this a charging issue? A software Issue? or a screen issue? or any combination of those?

Slow Reconnect times on Samsung Tab A (2019)

garhof
Hi! Thought I'd bring this to somwehere that specializes in Android!

We are using Samsung tab A's (2019) for a custom app we are putting out for customers. they are constantly loading and then leaving wifi area and coming back for products about every 15 to 20 minutes. The app works great in the office, but out in the field, we are having problems with them reconnecting to the provided AP. If we let them sit for 3-4 minutes they reconnect. if we have the customers click on settings, wifi, and then search, it starts the process and they reconnect. We cant have the customers going through that each time though, it leaves alot of chances for messing something up and for them to start playing around with other settings in the tablets that we dont want changed.



if we have them sit and wait, they are adding almost 2 hours a way to their day (they are arriving and leaving for each trip about 30 times a day).



We had them connected to a ubiquiti unifi AP, tried our old and trusty Airmax AP, and a regular TP Link, all 3 with the same results.



Are there any other settings we can try? or are these just slow to find the wireless?

I tried in the office connected to our AirCube - tablet was 1-4 minutes reconnect when in range, my phone (samsung S8) was 30 seconds to a minute. I was walking though the dense part of the building -metal cubes - till both disconnected and then walked back - about 120 feet. test was about 10 times.

Any ideas that i can try would be great! Thanks!

Issues Playing Games

V
So I have the Note 20 Ultra and I'm having problems playing mobile games on it. I've only had a couple of games work on it. I get to the menu and when it tries to update the game it always errors and won't go any further. I'm connected to Wi-Fi at my house and my computer and Xbox don't have any problems with the internet. Does anyone have a solution that I could try? I've tried restarting the device, clearing the cache and uninstalling and reinstalling the game but nothing has worked yet.

Apps Why won't my Android Room Update my Table?

G
This is an issue I had posted elsewhere (StackOverflow and JavaRanch) but I had to abandon 5 months ago. Now that I'm back on this project this issue is still present and I'm not sure how to resolve it. I never received a comment or suggestion on previous posts and thought someone may have a help or suggestion here.

My problem: I cannot get the Android Room @update method calls on my DAOs to actually update my tables. Below is my code and you can reference my previous posts if you like (StackOverflow and JavaRanch). Below, I will be using the Question table and value as the example.

The Notes table acts as a Join table. Each note contains the unique primary keys of up to 7 tables with related data - including the Questions table.
Initialization of the Notes:

Java: 
Notes updatedNote;
updatedNote = rdb.getNotesDao().getNote(vNoteID);

How I'm trying to update:
The 'valuesAreDifferent' boolean method evaluates the previous question value against the current question value. If they are different then a Questions object is created. The question's unique ID is retrieved from the updatedNote for the current Question and passed. Then the Question object is passed to the database Questions DAO to be updated with the @update method created.

NOTE: the 3rd line was an additional attempt to get the update to work but I'm not exactly sure it is needed.

Code: 
if(!valuesAreDifferent(original.get(4), update.get(4))){
      Questions questions = rdb.getQuestionsDao().getQuestion(updatedNote.getQuestionID());
      questions.setQuestion(update.get(4));
      rdb.getQuestionsDao().updateQuestion(questions);
}

The Questions Entity and DAO:

Code: 
@Entity(tableName = "Questions")
public class Questions {
    @PrimaryKey(autoGenerate = true)
    @ColumnInfo(name = "QuestionID")
    private int questionID;
    @ColumnInfo(name = "Question")
    private String question;
    public Questions(String question){
        this.question = question;
    }
/*    @Ignore
    public Questions(int questionID, String question){
        this.questionID = questionID;
        this.question = question;
    }*/
    public int getQuestionID() {
        return questionID;
    }
    public void setQuestionID(int questionID) {
        this.questionID = questionID;
    }
    public String getQuestion() {
        return question;
    }
    public void setQuestion(String question) {
        this.question = question;
    }
}

@Dao
public interface QuestionsDao {
    @Insert
    void addQuestion(Questions question);
    @Update
    void updateQuestion(Questions question);
    @Delete
    void deleteQuestion(Questions question);
    @Query("SELECT * FROM Questions ORDER BY Question")
    List<Questions> getQuestions();
    @Query("SELECT * FROM Questions WHERE QuestionID = :questionID")
    Questions getQuestion(int questionID);
    @Query("SELECT last_insert_rowid()")
    int lastQuestionPKID();

Get pixel 4 instead of 5 just for telephoto?

Y
Look there's a seaplane flying over head, look there's a cool building in the distance, look the person I'm trying to take a picture of is more than 10 feet from me. I have a pixel 2 and these are all situations in which I have really wished I had a telephoto lens. I can't understand anyone wanting a wide-angle lens because although I take many portrait type photos, I'm usually not stuck in an elevator while taking them. I'm seriously thinking of getting a pixel 4 now instead of a pixel 5 because the 5 is expected to drop the telephoto from the 4 to have a wide angle. Am I crazy?

The only downside I see to getting a 4 over a 5 would be battery life for when I'm on a trip and using the phone a lot for maps and reviews and travel guides.
