Android Studio (ARcore + Sceneform)

G
I'm just starting out in AR and using Android Studio (ARCore + Sceneform). Using Maya to export an FBX file with embedded media checked. Using a blinn for some of the object's body and a semitransparent shader to represent glass. The issue I'm running into is the semitransparent shader is showing up 100% opaque in AR. I tried the following:


1. Blinn shader, made it semi-transparent by sliding the 'Transparency attribute' slider to the center (gray). In Maya it looks great, I export FBX load it into Android Studio use my phone to AR and nope, it's 100% opaque.

2. Blinn, Driving transparencies using a texture with gray values in the 'Transparency attribute' using a file texture. Again this doesn't work.

3. Blinn, a PNG file with some transparent areas in the 'Transparency attribute' using a file texture. Again same issue, no transparency.


Is building shaders in Maya a bad idea? If so what would be a better alternative that translates correctly? Also, I just found out about the Stingray PBS shader. Will this be the best option in Maya to use with ARCore + Sceneform? Would it be better to build the shaders in unity if that will translate material information correctly?

Where can I find the "Unnecessary Items" tab?

L
Hey all, I hope you can help me.
I had a Samsung J Turbo. Whenever I started running low in storage, the pop up box at the top of my screen warning me that my phone is DANGEROUSLY low in space (OMG, ha ha) would lead me to a box that gave me options to delete files which include: Large Files, Unused Files, Duplicate Files, and Unnecessary Files. The Unnecessary Files tab includes temp and log files, which I have no idea what those are, except that whenever I deleted those I'd get a lot more space. I finally realized that those are probably copies of items I had deleted, i.e. a 'trash' of sorts.
Now I upgraded to a Samsung A10e, which I LOVE! It's an affordable and excellent phone. But what befuddles me is that when I get the box that i'm running DANGEROUSLY low on space, there is no tab for unnecessary items. I'm finding that no matter how many large files I'm deleting - and I had quite a few -- it's not making a big dent in my storage memory. I have a funny feeling that my temp items are hiding somewhere in a hidden folder that I can't access. Is the 'trash' option in the gallery supposed to be instead of the unncessary items tab? or are the temp items hidden somewhere else?
Thanks!

R
So I have this tablet I want to fix... SM-T560 to be precise. Has charging issue, I have changed charging port but it's not charging, still.... no amps going in... so I started google'ing and found this picture, looks like resistor and chip. You can see it here : http://www.u2ugsm.com/blog/samsung-galaxy-tab-e-t560-not-charging-port-repair-solution/

So the question is, where can I find this resistor? L400? Can't seem to find them anywhere.

DISCLAIMER : Don't be harsh on me please, just learning my way to fix these things, find myself really into it, any feedback would be and will be highly appreciated.

Best regards,

Help How to use multiple physical keyboard layouts on Android Oreo 8.1.0 Go Edition phones?

M
After connecting Bluetooth keyboard to my Android phone, I can't add more than one physical keyboard layout.
I mean, using the Ctrl + Space shortcut that has multiple physical keyboard layout options, I can't. My Android phone version is 8.1.0 Oreo Go Edition.

I can't even use the Android system keyboard shortcut!
Example: Notification is displayed by pressing search + n. But pressing the shortcut key is not working.

LG G6 - Fastboot boot loader error - unknown command

N
Hi,

I was trying to get the 'device id' to unlock the boot loader on LG G6 (h872g) with the fastboot command (fastboot oem device-id) however I keep on getting the "remote : unknown command" error.
"Fastboot devices" works and it shows my device being on a fastboot mode however non of the other fastboot commands works. I tried everything I possibly could including factory reset but i keep on getting the same error.
Any solutions of this problem anyone knows?
Is anyone else having the same issues?

Just to let you know, the "USB debugging" is on.

Appreciate the help.

Nino.

Pics deleted on reboot

T
Moto G5. Owned for about two years and never had any issues with pictures.

I installed an app called Media Cell, which is an app that monitors your phone activity (so runs from startup) and sends reports to Ipsos/Mori the market research people. In exchange for this HUGE intrusion on your privacy you get £10 Amazon voucher every month.
  1. Took some pics on the phone, looked at them in Google Photo.
  2. Later that day Installed Media Cell.
  3. Turned off phone overnight.
  4. Booted up phone in the morning and looked at Google Photo and all pics from day before gone (only from day before, earlier ones were still there).
The only change made to the phone that day was the installation of Media Cell.
  1. As a test I took a picture, looked at it in Google Photos.
  2. Rebooted the phone and went to Google Photos - pic still there.
  3. However, as I am looking at it the pic disappears.
  4. Repeated the above with same result.
Now I uninstall Media Cell, reboot the phone and repeat the above test - STILL THE SAME PROBLEM.

So, either this is unrelated to the app install, or the app has left something behind in the install, or it is a total coincidence that this problem started.

Either way, anyone any ideas how to solve it?!

Bluetooth not working for calls, but works fine with music/YouTube.

M
My old Note 8 has been having a few problems lately ever since I dropped it and cracked the screen a few months back. The biggest issue I've been having with none of my bluetooth devices working with calls, but they work fine with listening to music or watching YouTube. When they're paired and I try to use it with a call, I can't hear the caller and the caller can't hear me. This is the same symptom on all of my 3 devices (JVC earbuds, Sony headsets, or Chrysler car audio). I've searched these forums, and checked all settings, and they're all enabled for calls, media, etc., and I am running out of ideas. I have no other idea what it could be. Help!!!
