Don't Put Texts Together (Conversation?)

I am exploring Google Message app and am trying to figure out how to make texts separate. Searching on line revealed no answer, but I may be searching wrong. I apologize, but don't know the proper term for it, so I'll describe it. (Best guess = Conversation?)

When there is an existing text message on my phone from, for example, Sue at (313) 555-1213 and I want to send Sue another message t0 (313) 555-12112, but not with the first message attached.

Conversely, if there is a message from Sue already on the phone and days, weeks or months later, she sends me another, it gets attached to the existing message int he inbox.

Is there some way to turn this behavior off and let each message be its own entity?
Also, what it the proper term to describe this?

Thanks For Teaching,
Paul

Android split window

Hi,

I am on latest Android (Samsung smartphone) and I like to use multi window a lot, and it works great. I can have an app running at the top and another app at the bottom. There is a small horizontal line between the 2 apps that I can drag to increase and decrease the window size (if I make the height of the app at the top bigger then the app at the bottom gets smaller automatically). Sometimes I want the app at the bottom to have a very small height but unfortunatelly if I drag the splitter to a small height dimension, android will cancel the multi window.

The multi window with the splitter is awesome, but that's a really terrible decision to not allow an app to have a very small height and the other a very big height. And the problem is not with the app, because I am the developer of both apps and even setting minHeight to 1dp, Android never allows the apps to have a height smaller than 20-30% of the screen height. Why? Is there a way to fix it, something like in the Developer options?

Techmatte

Hi all

I am new to the forums platform so I just wanted to say hello and also give props to Techmatte and amFilm and their One Touch Tempered Glass Screen Protector for the Samsung S23+. It really was as easy as they said to place the protector on the phone. I didn't get any bubbles and it doesn't seem to have any touch issues.

A cool bonus was the protector for the 3 lens camera in the back.

I would definitely recommend and will be buying from them again for other devices.

K-9 Mail isn't copying sent mail to Sent folder

Hi Folks,
I recently replaced my old Samsung S5 with a new S22. This didn't come with Samsung's own email client and I didn't want to use Gmail so I installed K-9 Mail. This is mostly working ok, using IMAP with the same settings as the S5, but for some reason it won't save copies of sent mail in the Sent folder. All I've got are the messages that were transferred over by Samsung Smart Switch. I've looked in my Webmail Sent folder and that's the same.

The box is checked in settings for sent mail to be uploaded to the Sent folder (see screenshot) but it just isn't doing it. I even tried unchecking the box, shutting down and rebooting the phone then re-checking it but to no avail. Has anyone come across this problem or have any ideas how to solve it?

The phone is running Android 13 if that's relevant.

Rest default text message notification

My boyfriend accidently set the default text message notification setting to the Zedge on my Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra and now the box that would come up that asks you if you want to use Zedge or the android system as your default notification system does not come up anymore. My question is how do you reset that to go back to showing the box again so you can choose from Zedge or the android system?

Android Not Keeping Audio Enabled for Bluetooth Devices

I have a pair of Bluetooth headphones. Every time I connect them and I start playing like a YouTube video or a song nothing comes out because the audio is not enabled in Android and I manually go into the Bluetooth settings and check this audio box. I've tried to unpairing and repairing it, but android never keeps audio enabled, every single time I have to manually do it is there a way to force android to have it stay enabled?

I have s22.

How to View "SENT" Box Google Messages

Hello All!
I apologize if this is in the wrong place on the forum.

According to my History, my phone sends texts by itself, costing me 20 cents US each time. (Short Code 1CODE94183574 is one example.) I'd like to check the SENT folder on the phone so I can forward it to AT&T for investigation.

The problem is that I can't find the SENT box. Only the IN Box is available.
I tried the Three Line button in the upper left corner. It's not there. Tapping my picture does not bring it up either, even under Settings.
Google help did not show how to find SENT box.

Is it possible to find the SENT box?
Thanks For Helping. I appreciate your advice
Paul
PS: Is there a way to find out why my phone sends texts by itself? Yesterday it sent one and I did not have the phone with me at all that day.

AndroidStudio and Renderscript's ScriptC error

AndroidStudio (AS) fails to find the definition of ScriptC_invert when implementing a Renderscript (in another file invert.rs). It is placed in a directory src/main/rs and this is updated in the gradle (AndroidStudio folder). I am using Android SDK 33 which should still support Renderscripts.

I am sure there are no code-wise issues as I am consistent with several examples online, namely, the invert.rs contains:

// File: invert.rs

#pragma version(1)
#pragma rs java_package_name(com.example.sharp)

and the Java code:

ScriptC_invert invert = new ScriptC_invert(rs);

but I get:

error: cannot find symbol ScriptC_invert invert = new ScriptC_invert(rs);

The build.gradle contains:

renderscriptTargetApi 18
renderscriptSupportModeEnabled true

as well as:

sourceSets {
main {
renderscript {
srcDirs 'src/main/rs'
}
}
}

Anyone managed to get this running on current android/AS versions? Thanks!

Android studio pairing problems

Hi,
I need your help. I have paired pixel 4 API 31 with Wear OS Large Round API 30 in Android studio. In device manager beside names of devices there is an icon which says: Paired and conneceted.

Also in Wear OS app on Pixel 4, it says: Emulator, Connected via Bluetooth.

For example if I try to change watch face, i click three dots and i click set on watch
but nothing happens...

the only thing which works, if I click extended controls, and for example i click
Phone, and I click send msg. This works as msg normally comes also on smartwatch
and if I reply to this msg from smartwatch, this also works...

Please can you help me why other functions like changing watch face from Wear OS app is not working ?

I need that so that i can try my app for changing watch face.

Do I need to edit some other settings or what ?

Thank you

I for one, hope Bally, Sinclair, Disney, all lose their ass on this. Greed will be the end for them.
Also these player salaries are insane and the owners are dumb enough to keep shelling it out.
Gut the MLB, NBA, NHL and NFL and start fresh, in my opinion!

Google docs search doesn't work

Hi
When I try to search for something in the Google Docs app on Android (like something I wrote in one of the docs), it only shows results from some of the documents. There is alot of missing search results (especially for older documents).
This is while connected to the internet. When I'm not connected to the internet, the search results only shows results that are in the title of the document.

Does anyone else have this issue? Why is it happening? And how to fix it?

Thanks

S22 & S23 Good Upgrades From S8?

I am not a phone enthusiast. Just a guy who wants a decent phone. I have a Galaxy S8, and the battery life is not what it once was. It also seems a little slow these days.

I am thinking of getting a Galaxy S22 or S23. Are there any glaring problems with these phones? I don't trust review websites because they seem to rave about everything. I want at least as much battery life as I had back when I bought my old phone in 2017, and I don't want to get bitten in the butt by known issues people only find out about after buying.

Also, should I insist on a new phone? I am concerned that I might end up with something with a worn-out battery or other issues.

What is this stock sound?

Hi all,

This has happened to me before on other and older Android phones.

Every once in a while, I get this random sound alert that I can't identify and it just happens at random times, random intervals, and typically just goes bezerk (sp?) when it does it.

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance guys, I really appreciate it!

YouTube screen on Chrome on Android phone turns green.

While viewing a video on YouTube on Chrome on my Android phone, the screen turns green.

I uninstalled Chrome and re-installed it and the issue was resolved initially... only for the issue to recur a little later while viewing YouTube videos on Chrome on my phone.

I uninstalled Chrome once again and reinstalled it but this time the issue was not resolved.

This issue occurs while viewing YouTube on Chrome only.. YouTube works fine while viewing on the app and on Internet explorer but I am so used to viewing YouTube videos on Chrome on my phone.

Could someone please help me out with this?

Need help with RecyclerView

Hi everyone. I am still trying to build a database app with a RecyclerView. I have followed a tutorial from here:

The app runs, creates the database, and saves records. Note that the name is the primary key so you cannot save duplicate names. My problem with this is the same as the first app I tried to build. That is, when I try to view the data, it only shows the first record. The format of the display is OK but only the first record is shown. I can't seem to figure out what triggers a new row in the RecyclerView. I have attached a text file containing all the code for the various parts of this demo. I could surely use some help in figuring out what's missing.

Thanks
