Music all the sudden started playing in background?

I had my phone on my desk and was voice chatting with a friend on an app called discord. All the sudden I heard music in the background, I thought it was my friend that had music on but decided to check for myself anyway. I was shocked to see the music playing in the background from the "play music" app. Did someone hack into my phone? I'm scared now. I downloaded antivirus and ran a full scan, it didn't find anything but I'm still worried. How could it have launched without me touching a thing. By the way it was an mp3 file that was being played. I've never had this happen before. If anyone has some info I'd really appreciated it thank you.

Motorola brings back the RAZR

I saw a Rich DeMuro segment about this the other day, but forgot to post. He talked about Motorola's launch in LA of its new RAZR phone, and showed what it's like. It looks good!

Here's an article about the RAZR and how it beats Samsung.

I must admit, as a Motorola-only smartphone user, that this looks very promising, and I'm glad to see Motorola leading the way with foldable smartphones. However, considering its rather average, even underwhelming, specs, its $1,500 price point is a little hard to swallow. :o

Before i built a phone for my gf cuzins daughter i built a prototype before it!

Since you all loved my project so before i actually made that device i was planning to orignally build a device i call the GamerROM Mini

However since i built the prototype i wasnt satisfied with it due to its poor performance.

So here is the specs:

CPU: Qualcomm Snapdragon 210 28nm LP Rev 5 (v7I) 4 Cores 1.9GHz

GPU: Qualcomm Adreno™ 304

RAM: 1GB

Storage: 8GB (5.09GB used by the system)

Android Version: v7.1.1 Nougat

Security Patch: August 1, 2019

Resolution: 480x800

Now these may seem great to some people who really dont care about the specs but fo todays applications this flopped so i went and worked harder to have a nexus style device

Email has stopped after typing special characters

I am helping a friend and when she is trying to reply or create an email message in either the preinstalled email client or the Gmail client, if she use any unusual characters, for example comma, exclamation point, quote, at sign, asterisk, or even a space, the client will stop working and generates the error message "Email has stopped". Letters work correctly. This happens with both the on-screen standard Samsung keyboard and the on-screen Gboard keyboard. There is no external keyboard for this device. These special characters type correctly in Word. I have tried rebooting in safe mode and the problem remains. I have also reset everything to standard system defaults and the problem remains. This device was working correctly until a few days ago. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Type mismatch for StartActivity: Required Context, Found Intent

So I was following the official guide on how to use WebView and I found a piece of code that I just can't get to work. Basically, if a URL the user clicked belongs to a particular domain (www.example.com), the WebView should open the link within itself. But if the URL is not part of the domain, then the link should be opened in an external browser of the users choice (by showing the thing where you pick your browser, and have the options 'Always' and 'Just once').

Here's my code:
Code:
package com.cryptosonix.myapp

import android.content.Intent
import android.net.Uri
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity
import android.os.Bundle
import android.view.View
import android.webkit.*
import androidx.core.content.ContextCompat.startActivity
import kotlinx.android.synthetic.main.activity_main.*
import kotlinx.android.synthetic.main.fragment_ig_user1.*


class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)


        web_user1.settings.javaScriptEnabled = true // web_user1 is the WebView
        web_user1.settings.allowFileAccessFromFileURLs = true
        web_user1.webViewClient = MyWebViewClient()
        web_user1.loadUrl("https://example.com/page/")
        //Starting another activity within the app works fine
        settings_fab.setOnClickListener{startActivity(Intent(this, SettingsActivity::class.java))}
    }

    private class MyWebViewClient : WebViewClient() {

        override fun shouldOverrideUrlLoading(view: WebView?, url: String?): Boolean {
            if (Uri.parse(url).host == "www.example.com") {
                return false
            }
            Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url)).apply {
                startActivity(this) //Here's the problem!
            } 
            //When I hover my mouse over 'this', a popup appears with the type mismatch error.
            return true
        }
    }
}

I've been stuck on this for two days, couldn't find anything that worked. So I decided to show my entire code here so that one can see exactly where I went wrong, I know a lot of you are experts here. Any help will be very much appreciated!

Android user going to use Iphone for first time, what problems will I encounter?

I am a long-time Android and never use an iPhone before. I know how to use my Samsung android phone with Windows 10 without any problems.

I am going to receive an iPhone 7. I have never used iPhone before. I heard of something like apple ecosystem.

I heard of iPhone is unable (or not easy) to transfer files through USB plugging into PC, not really compatible with PC/Windows, need some apple account to work, locked or unlocked phone, apps store differences, Itunes is needed and need to pay some account fees and so on...

Are these problems real problems?

I think apple app stores app has lesser free apps?

Can someone advise me what do I need to get the iPhone to work, and what problems will I encounter, what fees will I need to pay?

Thanks

(my questions are what I heard about iPhone so I don't really what are the problems I will encounter if I use an iPhone. I only briefly tried the demo iPhone set in retail shops a long time ago, so I am unable to know what are the real problems when using it whole day, sorry I don't know where can I ask my questions as I really know nothing about iPhone, hope someone here kind enough to share your experiences.)

Ap Space

In trying to reduce the amount of storage taken up on my phone, I've niticed that some apps are listed several times. Eg. Messenger 8 times with average size 37mb. Or fb 6 times with average size 52mb.

Are all these files necessary? Can I safely just delete all but 1?

Thanks for any help with this one.
Drolkhar.

4) I've deleted my Google Account and re-signed in.

Nothing works! HELP!

Smiling Heart Icon

I really really don't want to ask the person that sent me a screenshot with 2 of these heart icons at the top...

I know it's possible that it could be a fitness app but still I want to know for sure.

They use an S8+ phone.

All help is appreciated.
