Hi, Just got a new LG K61 running Android 9. Just like an Android phone that I had several years ago (Android 5 as I recall), when I power it on or off, it makes a noise which is not only pointless, but drives me nuts! I know I can turn the volume down, but then I have been known to forget to turn it back up when I turn the phone back on. So, is there a setting to turn that feature off? Thanks!

Is there one with a stylus and similar specs to a Sony Xperia z5? 32gb internal memory 4gb ram waterproof

Hi all
I need to uncheck this option to allow map directions be read out on car stereo using android auto. I have looked in Google maps, settings, navigation settings but it's not there on my wife's work phone. It's on every other android phone I have looked at. Anyone know why it wouldn't be there. It has android phone v7 latest maps downloaded. I have looked on older phones and the setting is there.

WTH are those numbers that you can toggle up or down one count.

They bear no relation to post numbers or previously viewed.

Annoying me for weeks. Something simple I'm sure.

Once you tell me, please allow several weeks for my response to allow for intensive self - flagellation sessions

Hi guys!
The issue is clear, I design the app, and when I run the emulator the app looks different.
I use the same device for design and emulator (Pixel 3 XL).
Apparently I needed to click in one of the attributes on the design page and then click "Infer Constraints".

I still have some issues, because the button and other attributes are not the same sizes in the emulator.
Can anyone please explain to me how "Infer Constraints" works ?

Last night I created a board with my new phone, but it doesn't have any info like other boards do. [Release date, pictures, etc.] How does that happen?

So as I told @Milo Willamson, it was time to shit or get off the pot. And I did. I bought a new phone. Even started a new board with it.

Yes, I stuck with Motorola--but didn't get the phone I actually wanted. The Edge+ can only be used with Verizon [in the US]. I absolutely refuse to dump my embarrassingly cheap Consumer Cellular plan for Verizon. [Keep in mind I'm on Wi-Fi 99.99% of the time.]

After scouring the phone comparison chart, I decided on the Motorola One Hyper, for a number of reasons. As previously stated, I couldn't care less about a phone's cameras. I have real Nikon cameras for serious picture taking. So that was no part of my consideration. Its screen size--a full inch bigger than my Z² Force, and all-screen--most definitely was. It's awesome!

Having Android 10 was also a deciding factor.

Setup was the fastest and most painless of all my phones; I was up and running in no time.

After enabling Developer Options, I hit a roadblock trying to get System UI Tuner. I actually had to... gasp... RTFM. Why'd they make it so convoluted in 10?

Aside from the time now being on my left, everything's pretty much as expected. Oh, I don't have the 'clock lights up when my hand approaches' the idle phone feature, as on the Z. I don't know yet if this is a setting I've missed, or it's discontinued, or what.

It's too soon to know if certain issues, like that god-awful refresh that resets all my file manager tabs, will be gone now. I hope so.

This phone has 128GB of space--double that of the Z, and I never used >50% of it. So I should be good for a long time.

All in all, I think this was an excellent choice based on what I needed. I really analyzed how I do, and don't, use my phone on a typical day, and this fits the bill.

Need specifically an app that registers as a BROWSER on Android but does nothing, to tell the pop-up to always open in that, because I've got the app that does nothing but I can't tie the pop-up to it because it doesn't appear in options

Basically as a result I want the pop-up to try and open in the BROWSER app that does nothing meaning no more pop-ups as a result.

I've tried everything else to remove the pop-up and I can't factory reset because I got too many things on the smartphone. I've had this pop-up for over half a year... HEEELP! =]

Last year’s Beelink GT-King Pro has drawn lots of eyeballs since its release. Not only was it the first TV box to run on Amologic’s powerful S922X-H processor, it also introduced fancy features such as Dolby Audio, DTS Listen, and dual ESS ES9018 Hi-Fi DAC that could drive headphones with an impedance of up to 600?. But have you ever imagined a TV box which can also work as a NAS device? Well, Beelink is certainly thinking ahead of most of us. The recently released GS-King X comes with the hardware which made us fall in love with the GT-King Pro, but also supports dual HDD NAS of up to 32TB!

Retail Package: GS-King X media center*1, remote controller*1, HDMI cable*1, power adapter*1, user manual*1, service card*1, HDD bracket*4.


Retail Packaging



The Beelink GS-King X comes with beautiful retail packaging. “Storage” and “DTS & Dolby Audio” are highlighted on the cover of the package, meaning these are the major selling points of this device.





In addition to the GS-King X media center itself, inside the package you’ll also find a DC Adapter, an HDMI cable, a remote, four hard drive brackets, a user manual, a dual-os guide card, and an HDD installation guidebook. The user manual offers instructions in many different languages, including English, German, Russian, Spanish, French, Italian and Japanese.



The DC adapter is rated 57 watts (19V-3A), which is a huge leap from last year’s GT-King Pro (24W), mainly because the GS-King X needs more power to keep an active cooling system and two 3.5’’ hard drives working at the same time.


Design and build



With a premium metal case and matte dark blue finish, the GS-King X doesn't look like a conventional TV box. It has the form factor more of a high-end mini PC. The front of the device displays a skull identical to the one found on Intel NUC Skull Canyon. The eyes of the skull will light up in green when the media center is connected to power, and turn blue when the device is booted.



Audio performance is a major selling point of the GS-King X, that’s why you will find “DTS Listen” & “Dolby Audio” licenses on the front side, along with a MicroSD card slot, two USB 3.0 ports and a nice-looking power button.



A slew of interfaces can be found on the rear side of the GS-King X. The Hi-Fi sound section plays host to a 3.5mm audio jack, two RCA ports, and two Balanced audio ports. The TV box section hosts a DC-in port, an AV port, one USB 3.0 port, one USB 2.0 port with OTG, an HDMI 2.1 port, an optical SPDIF port, and an RJ45 Ethernet jack.



The top side displays the brand logo, as well as small ventilation dots which group into two capital letters: “GS”, citing that this device belongs to the new “GS” series.







Vents can also be found on the left, right and rear side of the GS-King X. Unlike average TV boxes, the GS-King X has an active cooling system inside, which prevents it from overheating.



The device measures 165mm x 118mm x 106mm and weighs 1070g (without hard drives). The build quality is excellent. Not only does the box look extremely polished, but it also feels quite sturdy, thanks to the premium metal build.



But one thing that constantly annoys me and many other testers is that the green LED lighting of the eyes cannot be turned off in the settings or by pressing any button on the box, the only way to make them go out is by unplugging.



The GS-King X is not just another TV box, with NAS being a big part of its identity. But 64GB internal storage is obviously not enough to make NAS out of it, that’s why the box comes with not only one, but two 3.5’’ HDD slots, and supports storage of up to 32TB.



Installing the hard drives is as simple as it can get. The provided brackets also serve as guiderails of the hard drive, all you need to do is to push the HDD into the slot after fixing the brackets on it. The process only takes a few minutes if you follow the instructions of the guidebook and do everything right.



The supplied remote is a little bit plasticky, but still feels fairly well-built. The GS-King X responds quickly to its commands and the infra-red range are acceptably long and broad. The remote also comes with a 2.4GHz USB receiver, which can turn the remote into an air mouse once plugged in. When you run apps not specifically optimized for Smart TV or TV boxes, this feature will be extremely helpful.



The remote also supports voice control, and allows you to ask Google Assistant to launch apps, play videos, mount web searches simply by saying “OK Google” followed by your command. For me, this saves a lot time when I am searching for certain videos in the YouTube app, as typing is not always convenient using the virtual key board on the screen.

Setting it up



The Beelink GS-King X doesn’t need much setting-up. Connecting it to a TV set (or projector) via HDMI, plugging in the DC power adapter and you are good to go. After being powered on, the capital letters “GS” will show up on the TV screen, with some animation going on around it. The startup is quite fast, as the familiar Beelink homescreen will appear only seconds later.

I am trying to create a GUI that looks kind of like this:
_____________
_|___|___|_|_|__
_|___|___|_|_|__

Each rectangle is a unique clickable View. Needs to scroll horizontally and vertically. Need to add or remove rows and columns at any position. Columns need to be the same width.

I have tried a ScrollView containing a HorizontalScrollView containing the table containing table rows, but only the first row is visible and scrolls horizontally. It doesn't scroll vertically.

I have tried a LinearLayout in a LinearLayout in a HorizontalScrollView in a ScrollView. It doesn't scroll.

No solutions I have found or tried have worked so far work. It is beginning to feel hopeless. I have been trying to get this working for over a week.

I am looking through the docs and developer guides and can't seem to find a suitable tool. Why does Android make something like this so complicated to make? It seems like a basic UI element.

What would be the easiest way to achieve a GUI like this?

I have a Nokia 7.1, and I'd love to have some setting that would allow me to mute everything from say midnight to nine a.m.

Is there an app for that? Or a setting?

I am developping an app for a south african, he wants to integerate payfast gateway in the appliction, can i test its working outside south africa? and if there any tutorial that will be great thanks

I had Verizon until two days ago, Other than the regular bill for service I am on the hook for I was also doing the 24 month installments on a device but since I ported to Sprint it needs to be paid off in full ASAP to avoid issues. After I ported I was unable to log into My Verizon which is no surprise but I tried going on their disconnected service bill pay site and can still see the final bill that I'm supposed to pay except it doesn't take the remaining balance of the monthly installments into account... is my only option to get the device installments paid off to call Verizon or is there a specific page I can find online so I can do it without calling? I already know where to go in order to pay the final bill for regular service I just need to know how also pay off my device as well since it no longer allows me to log in to My Verizon.

Hi Everyone,
Before I head down the path of creating an Android App for work I wanted your opinion on if its possible.

Problem.
Multiple company employed trainers facilitate a "new starter induction" course every day, often 30+ candidates are present in the class and we have only 1.5 hours to facilitate the induction, take candidate photos for their employee card, take photos of their identification (Passport or Drivers licence) and a photograph of their employee details form.
Once the session is complete we are then required to download all of the photos, rename them in the following naming convention: "LASTNAME,FIRSTNAME-Photo", "LASTNAME,FIRSTNAME-ID",LASTNAME,FIRSTNAME-DETAILS", then send each candidates three items to an email address for employee photo card creation. This process can take up to 3 hours depending on the IT capability of the trainer.

Proposed solution.
Create an App for android (we all have worked issued android devices with outlook exchange email configured) that once open an area to type candidates FIRST NAME & LAST NAME, plus three camera buttons, each camera button relevant to the required photographs( Face, ID, Employee details form).

Once the candidate name is entered, I use button one to take a photo of the candidates face, button 2 for the candidates ID, Button 3 for the Employee details form. After each photo is taken using the relevant buttons the photo is renamed XXXX-Photo, XXXX-ID, XXXX- Details.

At the bottom of the screen is a Submit button which needs to attach the three photos, resize to 2mb each and send to a specified email address using outlook on our phones without having to click on any outlook screens or enter an email address. Then the app needs to reset immediately for the next candidate.

Is this possible? and if so where should I look for the relevant integration with outlook and the capability to rename photos automatically.. I'm using Android Studio

Thanks for your help.

Typing this on my new phone...

When I try to pin a web site to my home screen, it doesn't work unless I reboot my phone. Is this a bug in the latest Android update?

I select the option to get email notifications but I never receive them. What could I be doing wrong?

Issue: when waking the phone there's a ~85+ chance for the screen to not respond to touch. Nothing done in that state fixes it, except for locking it and hoping it doesn't happen next time.
I can't find a pattern to this. Sometimes it works on the third try, sometimes I have to lock and relock for several minutes for it to fix itself. When it unfreezes it does tend to not freeze/unfreeze faster for a short while afterwards (although this is not always the case).
It almost always happens specifically when waking the phone (2-3 times it happened randomly VS hundreds of times it happened on wake)

The only thing that changed recently-ish before the first appearance was me installing Greenify app (and even then it took weeks for the issue to start appearing) Neither safe mode nor a factory reset solved the issue.

The phone is still responsive to any other inputs when the screen is frozen and generally seems normal.

Pop up text message every few secords reads as follows:
.com.samsung.android.scloud.SamsungCloud is disabled. If I try to open a file in My Fies it just shuts down the My Fies folder. Basically I'm locked out of My Files. I logged out of Samsung account but that has no effect. Im not particularly computer savvy, so a simple explanation would be appreciated.

I've used Maps.me for sometime, but have always struggled how to navigate, what all the map legends are, etc.

I can find youtube guides, but they don't seem to talk you through options. There's annoying music but no dialogue.

I have a Samsung A5 (2017) with android 8.0 and while using the termux application and/or the shell command through adb I noticed that after running df -h I get this result:

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
rootfs 1.2G 9.3M 1.2G 1% /
tmpfs 1.3G 1.0M 1.3G 1% /dev
tmpfs 1.3G 0 1.3G 0% /mnt
tmpfs 1.3G 0 1.3G 0% /mnt/secure
/dev/block/mmcblk0p19 4.5G 4.1G 435M 91% /system
/dev/block/mmcblk0p20 193M 3.9M 189M 3% /cache
/dev/block/mmcblk0p25 24G 21G 2.5G 89% /data
/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 16M 2.9M 13M 19% /efs
tmpfs 1.3G 0 1.3G 0% /storage
/data/media 24G 21G 2.5G 90% /storage/emulated
/mnt/media_rw/27FF-4487 59G 3.5G 56G 7% /storage/27FF-4487

Now I can guess that both /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 24G 21G 2.5G 89% /data AND /data/media 24G 21G 2.5G 90% /storage/emulated are the same and this is where the phone memory is mounted. Not sure why I see 2 different mounts for the same drive but that's not really the point here.

What I am really interested in is why I cannot access by doing ls any of those locations

ls /data
ls: /data: Permission denied

ls /storage/emulated
ls: /storage/emulated: Permission denied

By using the "My Files" application I can access the contents of "My Files > Internal Storage" and everything else that's inside. I assume this location it's the same as those 2 shown by the df command so why I cannot access them via shell?

If possible, an overview of all the other mounts shown by the df command would be appreciated as would shed more light on the android mounting system.

The mount command shows this:

When I go to retrieve downloaded images from my "downloads" file, I receive this message. Can someone explain how I can solve this dilemma?
TIA

Is it possible to write an app that does this:

- Turn on airplane mode.
- Turn on Hotspot.

I used widget that did this on previous version of Android.
Many of these stopped working - because of security enhancements or changes in Android.

Would this be possible?
Would this be possible in a rooted device?
Or maybe... is it possible in earlier versions of Android??

It's simple... but I really really need this functionality!

Thanks.
