Huawei P40 Pro: Hands-On (MKBHD)


Quick recap of the video:
  • Silver Frost matte finish is one of MKBHD's favorite of all kind
  • Viewing angle, colors, brightness all high-end
  • The shape of display is interesting because of the "overflow" on top and bottom (not just left and right)
  • Camera cutout in top left (includes depth sensor and infrared)
  • Fingerprint scanner doesn't seem bigger or faster although they say 30% bigger and 30% larger
  • Camera is the main focus of the phone (no pun intended)
  • Huawei trying to dethrone Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra for best camera?
  • Selfie-Camera was the most impressive because of the detail
  • 4200 mAh battery is a good look and the 40W wired AND 40W wireless charging is amazing
Conclusion:
  • Great upgrade for anyone with a 2-3 year old phone
  • Generally pretty damn impressed with the P40 Pro Specs.
  • Missing best of the best specs like 8K recording and 120Hz refresh

Odin gives me this error when im trying to flash my J7 2016 back to stock firmware

My phone is a Samsung Galaxy J7 2016 J710MNUBS4CSL1 android version 8.1.0. So basically, i wanted to root my phone, I used CF auto and then i used odin and tried installing root flashes. after numerous tries and me checking SUPERSU to see if it worked it didnt. SO I gave up and i turned OEM unlocking back off and then i tried using samsung private browsing and it said it cant work beacuase my phone is rooted (after thinking it didnt work) i went to check to see on SUPERSU if it worked and it still said no. So i rebooted the phone but now I cant boot in since the OEM lock is on. I tried Numerous stock Flashes of J710MNJDI4CRK1 and Odin failed them most of the time saying Complete(Write) operation failed. or MD5 hash value is invalid If someone could tell me what to do or give me a link to a proper stock flash it would be appreciated

Confused about 2FA

Don't laugh, but would someone please explain to me how to use two-factor authentication apps. I've downloaded several of them but then I'm like," now what?" I've Googled and can't find anything that tells me step-by-step. Google sources assume that I already know how to use one.
Thank you in advance.

App(s) to add/update Contacts from Call Log and from Business Info?

I'm looking for one or two apps that can do the following:

First:
Go through my Call Log.
(Allow me to specify a date range or other filter)
Ignore items without names or "Unknown" or "Blocked"
For each item, check if a contact exists in ANY of my address books.
If not, create (need to ask me to which account).
For contacts that exist, check if the numbers are the same; if not, offer to add / replace the existing values.
Maybe allow a degree of "fuzzy" search (e.g., ask me if "The Container Store" = "CONTAINER STORE")

Second (related):
Go through my Contacts. Again, ignore Unknown/Blocked
For any Call records that have a name (maybe just for Company name?):
Look up fields (phone, address, email, web site) (maybe via Google Maps API?);
If the contact exists, offer to alter; else offer to Add (need to ask me to which account if I have multiple)
If the field is missing, add it.
If the field differs, prompt me whether to (a) add (e.g., second phone #) (b) replace (have to ask which if more than one) (c) not change.

These could be on-event (e.g., after a call) or on-demand (when-run).

How To How to Disable Bixby Button

One of the most frustrating things for people who buy the Galaxy S20 Ultra is the fact that the "Power Button" is a "Bixby Button" that launches Samsung's Virtual Assistant named Bixby. This button is actually called the "Side Key" and we can dive into our device settings to disable the Bixby button and instead launch something else.

To Change the Bixby button on the Galaxy S20 Ultra:
  1. Open "Settings"
  2. Scroll down and tap "Advanced Features"
  3. Tap "Side Key" at the top
  4. Under "Press and hold" tap "Power off menu"
This will change the Bixby button so that it is now the old Power button that you know and love!

If you still want to have a dedicated button to launch Bixby, you can go to the "Double press" section of the same "Side Key" screen and select "Open Bixby". This will open Bixby when you double press the Side Key. However, we'd recommend using this for the Quick launch camera.

Turn Off Bixby Routines:
If you're already disabling the Bixby button you likely want to turn off Bixby Routines while you're at it. To turn off Bixby completely you can disable routines by following these steps:
  • Open "Settings"
  • Scroll down and tap "Advanced Features"
  • Toggle off "Bixby Routines"
Enjoy your Bixby-less Samsung Galaxy S20 experience!

You can accomplish this by opening up the "Close Apps" screen, tapping on the app icon of the app you'd like to keep open, and tap "Keep open for quick launching".

  5. Tap "Storage"
  6. Tap "Clear Cache" at the bottom right of the screen
Some apps may have this greyed out which means you cannot clear the cache. You'll also see an option (at the bottom left) for "Clear data- be careful with this option as it will delete all of the application's data permanently. This includes all files, settings, accounts, databases, etc...)

If you cannot find the app in your Apps list tap the 3 dots on the top right of the Apps List and select "Show system apps".

Apps Why don't notifications show up when I run the app?

I'm a beginner programmer and I've been working on an app that shows events and notifies the user when a new event is up.I'm trying to create a settings activity with 2 switch buttons, 1 for notifications on status bar and 1 for notification sound. When I turn on the switches, I don't get any notification nor sound.

How can I fix that?
