My wife has Samsung A22, just recently she has this notification popping up (see attachment), it is trying to get her to download antivirus from a website. As you can see she already has AVG installed on her phone. I ran the AVG but it did not get rid of it, if you clear the notification, it comes back immediately.
How can I get rid of this?

So Google Translate on Android reqwires you from the app itself to download the language that you want to translate to/from? so it's and not like Google Translate from a a browser that doesn't need to download anything?

Can someone please post a screenshot or mention the default gallery albums settings? I messed around with the settings and want to have them back to their defaults.

My OS is the latest version.

Thank you

First good night to everybody. I was wondering if someone knows that macro droid trigger that can in a way use a specific word that appears in a specific package trigger. I want to code something similar for my android app. 😊Hope someone can help me

Hi, could someone tell me how can I set up a password or pin code so that my Motorola edge 30 requires it when someone tries to switch it off?

It has a lock screen now (pin) but the phone could be switched off without the pin.

Thanks!

Looking around the posts, and I'm sure hoping there's some other hardcore smart home tinkerers like me. I've probably got over 1k man hours and $20k+ invested in my smart home system and I'd love to talk shop.

I want an Internet-connected camera with the best quality at the lowest price. I do NOT want to connect the camera to a mobile network. I will attach it to the Internet through a local WAN.

My actual use case for this will be doing time lapse photos of various parts of my yard, trying to understand how the sun hits particular seating areas throughout the day, at different times of year. I will put the phone on a tripod and let the time lapse do its thing.

Given that I do not need or want the expense of a monthly mobile phone network charge, what would be some of the best options in a used phone for this application?

I recently changed my project to a Compose app. I safely deleted my now redundant fragments and their XML files, and removed all references to them.

Now when I try and build my file, it crashes with the error:

Code:

Execution failed for task ':app:extractDeepLinksDebug'.
> org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 1; columnNumber: 1; Content is not allowed in prolog.

The only XML file I changed that still exists is my main acitivity XML, and it is correct. I opened it in a basic text editor and there are no invisible characters. I manually deleted the caches from the .android and .gradle folders, and deleted my build folder. I'm still getting this error. What are other possible reasons for it? Here is my XML file:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:paddingTop="?android:attr/actionBarSize"
    android:id="@+id/content">
    <androidx.compose.ui.platform.ComposeView
        android:id="@+id/main_compose"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

And here are the first of hundreds of lines of stack trace:

I can only assume that perhaps some kind of reference remains to my deleted XML files, but I can't find any. Are there hidden files, and if so, how do I access them?

My wife saw some channels on a friend's TV from the Firestick and asked me to find out what they are.
I tried searching and had no luck. Can anyone ID these?

I am about to take a bunch of photos of stuff that belong together. The camera apparently saves all photos to a single location. Creating an album is something you have to do after the fact, in Gallery. This seems very disorganized to me and creates an unnecessary manual step with opportunity for errors.

What I would like is for every time I take a new picture, for that picture to be automatically associated with a specific project I selected beforehand - so the photo is placed automatically in a project-specific photo album or in a project-specific folder. Is this possible with some custom Camera app, maybe?

yenomay864 · Jul 9, 2023

please help! "open camera" app removed the resolution of 176x144 in the newer devices, please help me bring it back

the "open camera" open source app uses the camera2 api for listing the avaliable photo resolutions, on older devices such as S8,S9 users had low resolutions such as 176x144 bit on the s20 and s22 that resolution isn't available.

if anyone could add that resolution to the newer devices would help everyone so much.

Hi everyone.

Is there a way to have Dark mode automatically enabled when you connect to a WiFi network?

I'm looking for software to safely remove cookies put on my phone (I just went to a dictionary site and it immediately gave notification that it's putting cookies on the phone). My first thought was to use CCcleaner but I saw there is considerable concern about its safety (malware) and also damage its cleaning may do to the phone's files. Does anyone have experience with Avast/AVG Cleaner Pro/Cleanup Boost (I'm already using Avast Mobile Security)?

I'm trying to make a copy of an Android Studio Project. I did this once before in this project and it worked just fine. Basically I'm making a certain amount of successful progress on the project and then want to make a new copy of the project and work on that copy. And in case something goes seriously wrong with the subsequent work I'll have the prior version to go back to.

The problem is that I'm getting an error when trying to make a copy of my current version of the project.

As I had previously done, I right-click on the project, select Refactor, and then Copy Classes.

That brings up a dialog where I slightly change the name (make 03 instead of 02) and I hit OK.

That starts the copy process and it goes through a whole slew of directories and folders but then an error message pops up:

And the copying stops. The copying FAILS.

I check that directory and, indeed there's no such file. But why is it even looking for that file if no such file exists?

I had previously succeeded with doing this kind of project copy. Why is it failing now?

Is there a different way to make a copy of a project?

Hello!
Could you help me?

I have a Xiaomi Redmi 9 that recently blocked the BootLoader thanks to FastBoot because I bought a new one and I wanted to leave it factory. This device had an old MI account that I associated with my phone. When the period of Xiaomi Cloud ended, I deleted it.

To block the BooLoader, I used the following command:
- fastboot oem lock

Now, I decided to give it another chance and thought I'd really squeeze it out. In order to do so, I thought of doing the following:

- Unlock the BootLoader (To be able to Root it)
- Root the device. (To take full advantage)

I enabled developer options, enabled the "OEM Unlock" option, and when I connected the device to my PC in FastBoot mode, I used the following command to try to unlock it:

- fastboot oem unlock

The error that appears to me is the following:

I also tried to perform it with the MI Unlock tool. This was the result:

In this picture, what is obscured is my old MI account ID.

Thank you for your attention!

At one point when I setup navigation in Google maps on my phone, I would get notifications on my Watch 4 Classic (like it would buzz for upcoming turns, etc). However, I setup navigation today on my phone and I got no responses on my watch. How do I get those back?
