[Free][App] I made an app to plan Weekly Runs

TLDR: Weekly Runs

Hello there,

When I started training for the first marathon in my life, I download a 6 months training plan, printed it, pinned it to my fridge, and started circling each completed training day.

Sadly, I would often get injured during my runs, which would lead to days or weeks without running, and a lot of changes to the plan I had printed.

All running apps that I tried either forced me to follow their plan from the start (which I didn’t want to do because I was already in the middle of training) or made it extremely slow and difficult to add a custom plan.

So I decided to create my own app, that would allow me not only to quickly import the training plan I was following but also to easily adapt it to real-life events.

I called it “Weekly Runs”.

The app makes it easy to enter a new training plan, by cloning existing weeks and making only necessary adjustments. More importantly, the app allows to insert non-running and recovery weeks after an injury, into the existing training plan.

I also noticed that I would often forget to perform some of the warm-up exercises I planned to do before every run. This is why I added a custom checklist of pre-run activities, that must be checked before starting each run.

I hope this app will be as useful to you, as it was to me.

I’d appreciate any feedback on the app. Please let me know of any changes or additional features that you would like to see in the app.

Android App Integration with WordPress Website

Hi everyone, I am currently working on an Android app project and I am looking for some advice on integrating it with a WordPress website. Specifically, I am wondering what tools or plugins are available to make this process as seamless as possible. Has anyone had experience with this before? Any tips or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!😊

Help! Google Message App Issues on Android Phone

I have a Moto G Power TracFone running Andriod version 11. I have been using Google Messages for texting on this for a few years, without any issues.

All of sudden, I started having problems yesterday. I have an icon/shortcut for Google Messages in the shortcuts found at the bottom of my screen (so they are always present even when you side swipe to other pages). I have been using this for years. Now, when I click on the App Icon, I get a message that says "App isn't installed", and I cannot use it. The really weird thing is, if I go to Settings, go to the Apps, and pull up the Google Messages app from the listing and click on "Open", it opens just fine and I am able to use it! So it obviously is still installed!

This is a very inconvenient way to get to Google Messages. I really do not want to have to go to Setting, Apps, etc every time I want to send a text! I want to repair or rebuild this shortcut, but cannot find how to do that.

Here are some things I have tried, with no luck so far:
- made sure there is enough memory on my room (I am not close to running out of room)
- restarted the fun
- pulled it up under Settings --> Apps and uninstalled updates
- went to Google Play store and reinstalled Google Messages app

None of these fixed the issue. The only thing it seemed to do is change the font size of my text messages.
Can anyone help?

Thanks

  • Question Question
Lockscreen pop up picture (solved)

So I have an odd random (same) image that appears for a brief second every twenty to fifty unlocks on my lockscreen. This image doesn't exist anywhere in my phone, contacts, picture gallery, videos etc., except every so often on my lockscreen...for a second as a full screen pop up, then it disappears and the phone unlocks as normal. One forum said it was the "always on display/clock" in the settings, this is not the fix. After months of trying to get a screenshot of this elusive image, was able to get one (attached). Any ideas on how to locate and fix where this is coming from? Thanks for the help!

Limit (but not stop) an app's background usage?

Galaxy S22, Not rooted.

hi. I have an app that runs in the background on BLE, and requires about 5 hours a day in order to be effective. If I let it run constantly it drains my battery hard. Is there a way or an app that will let me limit the amount of background usage for the app without just denying it? Much appreciated! In case you're wondering, the app monitors my pacemaker. Thanks fir ideas or solutions!

Help Looking for data recovery experts (android 12 phone) professionals for a paid consultancy opportunity

Hello all,

I accidentally got my photos erased from my samsung phone running android 12. The case is complex and most people tell me it's not possible to recover the data. While I definitely don't want to be fed false hope or placebo data recovery solutions, the erased photos mean a lot to me, and I would like a confirmation from a reputed DATA RECOVERY EXPERT that given my set of circumstances it's indeed hopeless, before I let go of this. So far I only have opinions of a few local tech people and a couple of forum members that it's impossible.

Anyone with a track record and expertise specifically in data recovery on android 12 / top-range samsung phones can help?

I am willing to pay consultancy fees in advance and also a bonus in case of successful data recovery.

Thanks!

Can't access Settings

Whenever I try and access the Settings app it won't open and briefly flashes a message "Settings has stopped". I've tried to find away of deleting the data/cache for it as I've seen that has helped some people with the same issue, but all the apps I try and use to do so require access which is given via the settings.

I've tried the obvious in restarting my phone which did nothing, and I'm trying to avoid doing a hard reset.
Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Logisity is a new Android Game I wrote.

Logisity is my first Android app. It's FREE with ads and the ads are not excessive. You can find it on the Play Store. I would love to get some feedback on it. I'm sort of a hermit and the few peeps I have are not too interested in games and they didn't even bother to help me test it so I joined this forum to get the word out. I wrote the game in HTML Javascript and CSS. I would like to know how it renders on different devices.

It's a logic game. You can play it at your own pace and always pick up where you left off.

A random number is generated and the player guesses at it. After a guess the player get's a clue telling them how many digits they got right and how many are in the right place. There are 3 levels (3, 4, or 5) that you can choose to play and the level corresponds to the number of digits in the secret number.

What makes this game unique is the position chart and the format menu. You use the formats on the clues to highlight, or black out the numbers and positions based on the clues. There are format counters that help you know if you've use the correct amount of specific digits and positions from any of your previous guesses.

I've included a comprehensive help section that can be accessed by clicking the ellipses (...) in the top right corner of the game screen.

Thank you in advance for your advice and feedback.

Unable to start up x86_64 phone emulator in Android Studio on a Mac

Trying to start up a x86_64 based phone via the Android Studio Emulator, but it freezes at the white screen showing "Google". Here are the particulars:

1. Intel Core i7 chipset on the Mac
2. Android emulator uses API level 33
3. system image is from system-images/android-33/google-apis/x86_64

In Android Studio, when I hit the "run app" icon, as mentioned, it tries to start up the emulated phone, but freezes up.

I have tried --
1) installing intel-haxm driver via Mac "brew"
2) in Android Studio: "wipe data" on the emulator, then "cold boot" of the emulator but same problem.
3) tried at the command line: "emulator -avd Pixel_XL_API_33_x86_64", but again freezes at white screen.

A small portion of the (adb) logcat (excuse the ctrl-M's) shows:

How to recover accidentally erased Camera folder from Samsung S21 Ultra - Data Recovery Android 12 / Root?

Problem:
My mum has an Android-based Samsung phone and unfortunately, when the main folder with photos ("Camera") was moved from the Phone to PC via USB cable, it was made using Cut and Paste. By accident the files were pasted into Recycle Bin and we received warning "Files will be permanently deleted. Do you wish to proceed?". We pressed "No" to abandon this process and undo the mistake. Nevertheless, the entire folder "Camera" has already disappeared from the window of DCIM folder on the phone (as viewed from PC). Similarly, the folder appears to have been deleted when viewed from within the phone. (also the phone now has 150 Gb free, while before the process it had 110 Gb free, so it appears 40 Gb of photos have been deleted....

Attempts to fix:
Standard photo / data recovery services failed to bring results (searching hidden folders using Windows Explorer, Total Commander and Ultdata Android).
We then tried two professional software solutions (Cellebrite UFED and Oxygen Forensic Device Extractor -- Android Agent), which also did not manage to locate photos on the device.
It appears as if they were completely deleted.
The same person who used the two prof software solutions above has access to PC-3000, but he claims it's not suitable for Android data recovery (?)
We have already spent 2 days and hundreds of dollars on consultations, which unfortunately still have not brought any results, while the emotional weight of deleted memories is haunting us. Thus, we appeal to help of this forum.

Current thoughts:
#1 All other methods suggested require rooting the phone, which apparently will wipe the whole and make recovery of that specific folder even less likely (correct me if I'm wrong).
#2 All suggestions to make back-up of the phone / clone the entire memory are not relevant, as the only files that are of importance here are the files in the deleted folder, and those files are not hidden and therefore will not copy into this back-up anyway (correct me if I'm wrong).
#3 One person told us to ask Samsung customer service, but their response was that they don't do data recovery and that they only can restore if there was Samsung cloud backup activated.

Questions:
Q1: What is our best course of action? It seems, rooting is one way or another, inevitable. What rooting method would be best to use here, given the situation and my phone specifications? I understand that there is no 100% guarantee to recover the erased photos, but we would like to at least give it a try with maximum chances of success.
Q2: Given that the files we want to back-up are already deleted and not visible, is it even worth it to try to make any back-ups? or will it be in vain, and should we just proceed to rooting and further recovery attempts?
Q3: IF, we successfully root, what is the best way to access the hidden data? Do we need help of this expert who has PC-3000 and specialized software, or is it going to be accessible using our own PC+USB cable + extra downloaded software?


Phone:
Samsung S21 Ultra (G998B). Android 12. No cloud, no backup. Phone not used for now. New data is not copied onto the phone. Phone not rooted.

Thank you for all your help. I do hope to find some solution. We are down hundreds of dollars, many hours of talking to consultants, many of whom appear to just google potential solutions and offer us some basic things, while the pain of cherished memories potentially lost forever is the worst, much worse than money lost. Any help or constructive feedback would be appreciated!

Can't play youtube videos on android box

We've had an android box for years, and use it with a Sharp tv.

Now I can't key on the Youtube app to show videos from that site.

The App was last updated Sept 2022.

I'm concerned.

How do I fix it?

Knox or Android blocked files

Hello!
I'm trying to deploy enrollment on Android 9 Fully Managed without WorkPofile enrollment and apply KioskMode and system/setting user restrictions. Problem is that the installed application running in KioskMode does not have permission to create and write files in the filesystem - it is blocked by Android or Knox Manage.
How do I set it up so it's good?
Unfortunately, my app is unusable at this point.
I don't have this problem in Android higher version (11-13) - it runs fine in FullyManeged kiosk mode.

Some questions about Instagram

Does anyone know if I DO NOT follow someone and I DO NOT give "likes" to her post, but I have logged in and kept visiting his/her pages almost every day by searching her ID, without any action. In that case, would the system suggest me to her account in any way?

I found the instagram of a girl I love by some special means and I know her in reality but we don't have any internet or other networking connection or friends in common so I should never be shown to her mobile/internet/computer area. I do not want my account/profile to be possibly suggested or recommended to her. In that case, she may think that I have had intentionally searched for her which is certainly what I am worried about.

I do not want to log off and log in an empty account every time. It is so troublesome.

Help How can I increase the Phone or video screen timeout beyond 10 minutes with my Galaxy S23 Ultra?

How can I increase the 'Phone' or Video screen timeout beyond 10 minutes with my Galaxy S23 Ultra?
I like to shoot birds with my video, especially hummingbirds using a tripod with a remote so I'm not close to the feeder. The hummer comes in every 20-30 minutes and the video shuts down after five minutes or so and returns to the home screen. That will shut off after 10 minutes. I think the video itself shut off If I don't use it for five minutes. Is there a way around that?

Bottom line, while shooting video or camera photos on tripod, I'd like the screen or video NOT TO SHUT OFF.

I know in developers options you can click "Stay Awake" but that's apparently only if your charging?
Another one is it will stay on if your looking at the screen, well I can't as the tripod/phone is a few feet away.
This defeats the purpose of the tirpod.

Looking For Recommendation For Backup Software

I would appreciate recommendation for backup software for LG phone, primarily for Contacts. I would like to back it up to my computer, and then be able to restore (and/or transfer to new phone) as need be. There's a few backup/restores out there - I would appreciate any suggestions from experience as to which one(s) to use. (I also have a Samsung galaxy - i expect the software would work well with that phone, as well.)

no magnifier working after UI updated to 14 (Redmi Note Pro 10)

I used the magnifier icon on Redmi Note Pro 10 (UI 13) for a year.

just clicked the little icon at the bottom of the screen and you could move the little square anywhere on the display.

Now after the UI 14 update.. the icon is still there but doesn't magnify anymore.. just brings up the accessibility options or 'choose' from accessibility or magnification. I choose the magnification option everytime but still does nothing.

Anyone else the same or fixed it perhaps. It was useful to not have to get glasses out to see battery or power level or other minute text.. LOL

seems I'm not the only one..

no answers/fixes yet though

Card Phone CM1

Hi All,
Again, I didn't know where to post this; but yesterday I bought this Card Phone at a local used items store (Value Village, for those interested).
I've never seen one before, which is probably not surprising, since I'm hardly on the cutting edge of phone technology; but here's a piture for those interested.
I'm not asking for help with anything here. It's about 2"x3.25" in size, and the thickness of about 5 credit cards. P.S. It doesn't work.
