Configure Google Authenticator

I must install Google Authenticator for Coinbase. When I try to follow the instructions I get to places where it says press <this> and I cannot find <this> on my phone.

Specifically from here: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/1066447?co=GENIE.Platform=Android&hl=en
The instructions state:
  1. On your Android phone or tablet, open your device's Settings app
    3_l97rr0GvhSP2XV5OoCkV2ZDTIisAOczrSdzNCBxhIKWrjXjHucxNwocghoUa39gw=w18-h18
    Google
    3_l97rr0GvhSP2XV5OoCkV2ZDTIisAOczrSdzNCBxhIKWrjXjHucxNwocghoUa39gw=w18-h18
    Google Account.
  2. At the top, tap Security.
I get to Google and there is no "Google Account"

I have some tremors in my hands. I can type on a keyboard but typing and selecting tiny things on the phone is really difficult and frustrating.

So: How can I set up Google Authenticator? A link to a good set of instructions will greatly appreciated.

When I try to do the install Google Authenticator it wants an account name and key. I have a gmail account so I enter that account name. When trying to enter the password the app states: key value has illegal character.

That tells me there is something I don't understand here. Please try to clue me in here.

Question about MMS message

I have Verizon & an Android phone and the other person sprint and an Iphone. I sent an MMS picture 1 day and it said delivered on message receipt. Few days later I sent another MMS message to the same person and it said sent for a few days, but then I got no response, so I checked and it said Failed. Just curious why it did that.

Side note: I've sent a message before to another Verizon customer and it said Failed but they responded to it...How does that work LOL.

I need help with my phone

I can't swipe up my phone to open it, all I did was turn it off the night before, woke up the next morning, turned it on until the locked screen came up, then swiped it up and it did nothing, like it is frozen. So I let the power run out to reboot the phone, turned it on, again and the same thing is still happening, what is the solution to this problem. Help me please!!!!

Silence Notifications over Blutooth

How do I silence all notifications over bluetooth? It's annoying bumping your car stereo only to be startled by a text, email, or social media notification. Now before you start and tell me that I don't get notifications because I don't have any friends :D. Or that all I need to do is put it on vibrate:rolleyes:, I am pretty sure that this should be an option is this wonderful OS. I would like to have it done automatically once the bluetooth connects to the head unit.

Any suggestions?

Perform a click in a menu item clicking by ImageView

I have a tabbed screen with a Bottom Navigation Bar which have three menu items: Home. DashBoard and Configuration.

In the first tab (home), I have an ImageView, inside a Listview header, with user's photo.

I need to perform the click of the Configuration menu item when the user perform a click in the ImageView with his/her photo.

Pay attention in the image. In up side, the ImageView with photo and in the bottom the menu Item in the Configuration Menu Item.

I can't get call the screen configuration by Intent because the Configuration screen is not an Activity. It is a fragment.

Help Xbox 360 wired controller connection issues

Hello all,

I am currently trying to connect my wired Xbox 360 Controller to my Huawei MediaPad M5 Pro. I am using a USB-A female to Micro-USB OTG cable, with a female Micro-USB to USB-C converter for my Huawei's input jack. The Xbox 360 Controller plugs directly into the female USB side of the OTG cable. Like the YouTube videos suggest, you are supposed to simply connect the controller, and it will work. However, in my case, the controller will be supplied power, but not detected. When I scroll down to see notifications, it shows that power is being supplied to a USB device. When I clicked the touch for more options button, reverse charging was selected, and clicking any other option would bring it back to reverse charging. No app was detecting any movement of the controller, and the "Easy OTG Checker" app that I found in the app store detected it as Unknown. I then went to settings, but the USB section of the Device Connections tab was grayed out, and showed the text "Disconnected." After doing some research, I tried to fix the problem by turning on USB Debugging in the developer tools section(I had to turn on "Allow ADB Debugging in charge mode only" to do so), but it still wasn't detected, and the USB tab was still the grayed out and "Disconnected." I also tried connecting the controller in the Huawei's "Safe Mode", in case some app or security system wasn't allowing it. This didn't work either. Nobody else I've found on the internet has this same issue. Any Ideas how to fix this?

Thanks!

Extra Info:
Android Version - 8.0.0
The Xbox controller had a loose cable once, but this was mostly fixed with a cable patch, only leaving one button to be faulty every once in a while. Worked fine though on my computer.

Android Studio Upgrade Causing Headaches

Learned Java last year to make games and installed Android Studio (I believe, version 2). Just upgraded to 3.6 a couple days ago and it's been nothing but headaches trying to build and run my apps. Kept getting gradle errors about deprecated this and that, inability to find this or that, etc.

I've been googling each specific error and trying to figure out just WHERE I'm to make the suggested changes. I get a little further each time but now I have no idea what to do next.

I'm getting errors about Gradle having deprecated features that are not compatible with version 7. I'm not really sure about what Gradle does besides it being needed to build your apps.

With the attached, I THINK that I was able to capture one of the issues. But I have no idea WHERE to go to make this fix. What file is it in? Where is the file?

I didn't expect upgrading to cause this many issues (they all seem to relate to Gradle) but I'll never upgrade this thing again unless it's absolutely necessary.

Kobe Bryant GOAT......a tribute

so it has finely taken this long to be able to talk about Kobe Bryant and how his passing affected me. i just wanted to share this with my AF family.

Kobe Bryant was and still is the world to me. and it is not just me. it is the same for my friends, the city of LA, and to folks all over the world. he was/is my super hero. he was my Superman. for many seasons he carried his team to win games, the regular season, the playoffs, and finally to championships. he bleeds purple and gold. and this is what happens when you loose a super hero to tragedy.

i got to meet Kobe (very briefly) in his rookie season. where during the preseason, he was at a meet and greet event at a book store (i can't remember which one) where he signed my Lakers jersey. he said hi and shook my hand. he did not really say much to me, and i did not really know what to say him. it was not the fact that i was star struck, but more of, i did not know much about him. all i knew of him was that he was fresh out of high school and was very talented, but very raw. i wish i had said more to him that day. i had no clue that he would later become a legend.

i think for the LA folks, we were lucky enough to see this kid grow right before our eyes. we got to see him court his future wife, Vanessa. i think it was his rookie season that he went to his wife's prom. it is part of the reason why it hurts so much with his tragedy. the fact that he married his high school sweetheart even though they did not go to the same school is such a fairy tale.

i think most here in AF do not come from LA or are Lakers fan. i'm curious as to how others here view him. what are your thoughts? did you hate him while he played? i could see why. did his tragedy affect you in some way?

Note 10+ Not Secure

Sigh...

I have a Note10+ and I'm fairly certain it's not secure even though I have tried numerous antivirus and malware software.

Pictures I havnt taken will show up in my gallery and pictures are deleted without my consent.

The strangest occurence was when I had the phones wifi off, bluetooth off, mobile data off, and the phone in airplane mode and someone was erasing pictures.

I've been trying to figure out what exactly may be going on or how this could be happening. Factory resets have not helped and the problem has spanned multiple devices and networks.

In a log somewhere I remember seeing Odin, I never used the program though.

I feel like someone else has root access to my phone even though my phone is not rooted.

Along the lines of the phone erasing pictures with what appeared to be no way for someone to make a connection, going back to my Galaxy S10 on T-Mobile I had shut the phone off temporarily.

When I checked my usage it had still transmitted cellular data though. When I questioned T-Mobile they couldnt give me an answer as to why.

Codename C.U.B.E

Heres a link to the game
I have been working on a 3D bullet hell game for almost a year now and finally, it's ready to be released. The game was made in Unity and features two modes. Endless adventure and Boss Rush Mode where your best time is recorded. The game is very accessible and fun to play. The game is free and features no ads. Here's a look at some gameplay to get a sense of the game plays.

Can't sync my music playlists

As title states, can't sync playlists on my new asus zenfone 6. Never had this issue on the last one, zenfone 3.
Playlists simply don't show up anywhere after completing the sync with WMP. And I can't figure out another free way to sync the playlists. What happened to the old way? Is there anything I can do beside hand picking each darn song from my library?

Donkey Trump has new levels, features, characters, and more...


Hello everyone!
Just wanted to let everyone know about my game, Donkey Trump, and it's new update. Donkey Trump takes an arcade classic and updates it with a political twist. The classic levels are there, as well as new never before played "kong" levels. After the first level, the levels are randomized with random changes to each level. This update add several more levels. There is a variety of enemies to overcome, even more with this new update. You can chose to play as one of five characters, each with their own stats, cut-scenes, and more. I've added a new game mode "Tyrant Tower", an endless climber in which you try to climb to the highest level. You can get this game for free at the Google Play Store:
