Anyone know where to find the setting that automatically plays music when Bluetooth connects?

When connecting to Bluetooth the Huawei Music player automatically starts playing music
I use Black Player as my default music player
I have seen the setting that controls resume on Bluetooth but that was years ago and I can't find it anywhere. So:

Advice on a calendar app that searches through the entire history

Currently I am using the Samsung Calendar app. When searching for (very) old entries I need to tap on a button : Tap here to view events before ..." (e.g. Aug 11 2023)
I almost endlessly need to tap-tap-tap-tap.... In the end I may get what I was looking for, or, may be even not, as may be I have used the wrong search string hence I have been tapping and tapping for nothing.

Regretfully, so far, there is no way to search entries 'before' a specific date, or a time-range, or actually have an option to search thru all entries.

I have been reading many reviews on calendar apps and almost all are 'great'.
OTOH I hesitate to install them all just to see if either one of them have such features, i.e. search all entries, not just recent ones.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Samsung's secret love child?

Here in the U.K. we have been inundated with TV advertisements for the new Samsung phone for the past month. It seems that almost every ad break on every channel has a range of ad's for Samsung.

However, they have all been for the Samsung Flip5. I have yet to see one for the Fold5 either on TV or the newspapers.

This also happened last year with the launch of the Fold4 and Flip4 although I did see 3 ad slots over the period of a fortnight, for the Fold4.

It seems clear to me that Samsung are heavily promoting the Flip phone probably because it is cheaper and likely to appeal to the masses but I am starting to think that with the lack of promotion of the Fold phone, that I own Samsung's secret love child that must not be mentioned in polite society.

Is it the same in other countries that the Fold is sold in?

Here is a sample of the Samsung ad's that are going out in the U.K...

Offline maps disappear sometimes

About 2 months ago the offline maps disappeared from my old LG phone. A few weeks later & they were still missing. But a few days ago they reappeared. IIRC no settings were changed.

I started using a new Samsung phone a few days ago & downloaded an offline map. A message at the bottom of the screen said "You're currently signed out. Any map downloaded while signed out will be deleted when you sign in."

So I signed in & downloaded another offline map. The first map got updated also but why didn’t it get deleted when I signed in? I’ve been unable to duplicate that scenario.

I went back into Maps and both maps were gone. I signed out, signed in, but maps were gone. Since one map was downloaded while being signed in I'd think that one would have been saved but it wasn’t.

If downloaded while signed in, maps seems to always come back when I toggle between sign out & sign in, except for what happened above. Did that get messed up because maps were downloaded under both scenarios?

My concern is what happened with the old LG phone. AFAIK I never changed the sign out / sign in setting because I just found out about it. IOW are offline maps stable?

Any comments would be appreciated.
Thanks

Help Using third party apps for email

Hi my question is this. Most free emailproviders have an expiration policy, so you must log in every x months to keep your account. Now as long as you use their own android app, never a problem. But what if I use for example Bluemail or other third party app for protonmail account or AOL? Does that also count as "logged in" in terms of expiration policy? Thanks, Niels

Help Bricked(?) Huawei WAS-LX1A

Hello everyone!

I've worked a lot with my P10 Lite and now i think I'm bricked. I'm blocked on recovery (emui doesn't start). I tried with Huawei eRecovery to "download latest version and recovery", but he says "getting package info failed". I tried pressing the 3 keys (with set folder dload etc..) and the installation fails at 5%. So through Multi Tool i have this situation:

Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro Unveil: Storage Boost and Dazzling Color

Get ready to geek out, tech enthusiasts, because the Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro are gearing up for their grand debut around October! You know how Google does it – they're cooking up some smartphone magic, and we've got the scoop on the sizzling details.

Our gadget whisperer, Roland Quandt from Winfuture, has been at it again, dishing out the freshest tidbits about the Pixel 8 series. Picture this: both the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro are rolling in with a cool 128 GB of storage right off the bat. They're not playing around when it comes to space! But wait, there's more – the Pixel 8 goes big with a bonus 256 GB version, while the Pixel 8 Pro takes things up a notch with 256 GB and a whopping 512 GB flavors. RAM power doesn't get left behind either, sticking to the script with 8 GB for the Pixel 8 and a Pro-worthy 12 GB option.

Colors, people! Let's talk colors. The standard Pixel 8 struts its stuff in three dapper shades: Licorice, Haze, and Peony. Now, if you're ready to level up to Pro status, you'll still rock that Licorice hue, but you'll be trading your Haze and Peony dreams for a sleek Porcelain and a sky-bright Sky. It's like Google's giving us a rainbow of options to match our vibes.

So, there you have it, the lowdown on Google's soon-to-be superstar duo. We're just drooling over the storage specs and those trendy colorways. It's all looking mighty fine, and it's giving us some serious phone goals. Can't wait to see these bad boys hit the stage!

And hey, if you're in the mood for some ear candy to go with your new Pixel, don't forget you can snag the Google Pixel Buds Pro on Amazon. Time to tech it up!

tns debug/build android returned with unexpected error (Nativescripts)

Before I proceed, let me explain that I am recently employed into this new company as a junior IT support. I mainly do hardware with very2 little programming knowledge. Recently my company upgraded to a newer server and we have changed the location of the databases. However our apps are still pointing towards the old server url/location. I have been in contact with the app developers on how to change the configuration of the apk; in which it needs to be decompiled. They are engaged in a big project and was unable to assist me at this moment. Instead, they have given me the whole folder containing all the source code (Shown in the screenshot).

I was asked to:-

  1. Change the URL setting in on of the config.ts file contained in the res folder - done -
  2. Recompile everything to APK so that the 'new' apk can be installed on our mobile android devices.
Upon reading the README file in the folder, it is obvious I am supposed to rebuild this apk app using nativescript. Please see screenshots:-

My questions / Issues :-

  1. I have done the steps required in the README file such as:-
    a. Install [node js] (https://nodejs.org/dist/v10.15.1/node-v10.15.1-x64.msi). Make sure to use version > v10 LTS (I am now using ver v12.22.12)
    b. Install Nativescript CLI using git bash
    npm install -g nativescript
    Done
    c. Install Java SE Development Kit 8u201 Done
    d. Install [Android Studio] (Download Android Studio & App Tools - Android Developers) Done
    e. Create android emulator. Done
    f. Clone this repository. <---- How is this done correctly? Do I copy the whole project folder and place it under an active working folder to generate the apk app? Please advise
  2. Do I run the .sh script PRIOR to running the related commands in tns such as 'tns android build' / 'tns android debug'?
  3. I did a tns debug android using command prompt (Admin rights) in the folder path and received :-

  1. I also did tns doctor just to check my configurations are correct or otherwise:-
    Screenshot 2023-08-08 174756.png
I DID refer back to the developer of this app, however he did not have any comments rather than the android apk was created using nativescript (duh!). I have also send him the exact same question here however he is not replying as prompt as I expected. Would appreciate if anyone with the expertise could assist and guide me moving forward. Many thanks.
