Charging cable drains phone battery when phone is switched off

My Huawei P30 Pro usually charges really fast, but I didn't charge it last night.

Today, I plugged it in to be charged, and the battery started draining. So, I switched the phone off, and left it plugged into the charging cable to charge.

When I switched my phone on an hour later, the battery level had dropped further.

Why is the charging cable draining instead of charging my phone, even when my phone was switched off?

[Game] [FREE] Copter Now: The Gems Mystery

Hello everyone!

Copter Now: The Gems Mystery is a game I developed for Android. It's an Arcade with simple control but challenging difficulty and pixel art design. During the adventure, together with pilots Alison and Ray, you'll take control of the helicopter and you'll have to advance through the island, dodging all the obstacles in each of the stages, until you reach the end of each level and get the gem. After gathering the three gems, the great mystery they hide will be revealed, or at least that's what the legend says...



TRAILER:


STORY:

According to legend, three mysterious gems were scattered throughout the island, each one more mysterious than the others but, once together, they Will produce something more mysterious than the mystery produced by each one of the three gems separately…

The company Voulank Joebani, has embarked on the dangerous mission of finding the three gems and discovering the mystery they hide.

Along with pilots Alison and Ray, you'll have to make your way through the island's successive stages, circumventing all the obstacles, until you reach the end of each level and get the gem.

When you pass a level and get the gem, you will unlock the final scene and you will be rewarded with one of the 5 medals. If you manage to pass a level without losing a single life, you'll get the highest award!

Once you obtain the three gems, you will unveil the great mystery they hide...

The mission won't be easy and it will test your reflexes. Good luck!

HOW TO PLAY

If you hold down on the screen, the helicopter will go up, if you stop pressing, it will go down.

You'll start each level with five lives.

When you lose a life, you will return to the beginning of the stage in which you find yourself. If you lose all lives you will return to the beginning of the level.

Dodge all obstacles and reach the end of each level.

DAC by-pass

I've tried downloading a few HD music players for this phone. They all seem to work well, but they don't seem to allow access to my thumbdrives, where all my HD music is. They pull up the 'in-phone' files, but that doesn't help me. Can anyone recommend a HD player that allows playing external files. My phone shows the thumbdrive in the 'My Files', and plays them just fine.

I'm just trying to find an app which has a better DAC than the phone and will play some 24-bit, 48000 Hz files.

Thanks.....

Restoring an Android phone

Does anyone make backup software that can restore a phone completely, similar to the way Acronis backs up Windows computers and Time Machine backs up Macs?

I have an S10+ that will not talk to the info system on my vehicles properly. I keep getting "Device not responding" errors and I know the cables are OK. I assume it has something to do with the usb settings but nothing I have changed has allowed the phone to work as a navigation system on either vehicle (Ford Sync 3 and Honda). I thought I might do a complete factory restore, add my software manually and try again but, if that does not work I would want to be able to do a full restore to the phone.

Is there any way to do that?

Suddenly unable copy files between folders

Yesterday for some reason my phone became incapable of moving or copying files between locations. I noticed this using gallery to organize albums. I tried with different gallery apps as well. I also tried with Astro file manager.

I get this error which does not return any search results other than pages about avoiding that error when programming in Kotlin. Not a single post about a user resolving this sudden malfunction.

kotlin.KotlinNullPointerException


I really REALLY do not want factory reset and have to reinstall everything from scratch.

Upgraded, can't find build tab. Project won't build.

I'm very new to Android Studio, but have been using programming IDE's for decades. I just upgraded to Android Studio 3.5.2. I don't know if this is the reason or something else is the reason, but I can't figure out how to show the build tab. It's NOT under View / Tool Windows:

upload_2019-11-14_10-0-52.png


To be clear, I would like to be able to see the window that shows the spinning circles and the progress of the build. I see examples on websites like below (even though they all seem to have a dark theme). Here is a dark example of the window I'm trying to find, I *believe*. Note as well the "Build" button at the bottom. I do NOT have that. I have "Termainl" and "TODO" on the left, and "Event Log" on the right, but no "Build".

upload_2019-11-14_10-5-21.png


Of course, the REASON I want to see this at the moment is that it seems my project won't build. It was trying to build before the version upgrade, and I could see the build tab and spinning icons. I could see messages on the right side (I can't find a Messages windows now, either). But after the upgrade, when I click on Build / Rebuild Project, I can't see anything at all happening.

Help My android does not work on home wifi, but works everywhere else

Android: Samsung A40
Not rooted
Software information: One UI version (1.1) - Android Version: 9

For a couple of months my Android is useless on my home wifi. Cannot really stream videos, for example,as it just stops or buffers. My iPhone, Macbook, Smart TV, Sonos, two PCs (and my partner's Android) all work perfectly. My home wifi has really good speed. It's just my android.

Oddly, my previous Android was the same (changed models in August). It just stopped working properly and then when I got a new one (same SIM card and based on back up) I had the same problem.

However, my Android works fine on all other wifi networks I try it on. It's perfect. Just at home it doesn't work. EDIT: Most of the above devices are only connected occasionally (so it isn't like there are too many devices at once. Problem is same with most other devices offline.

I've tried disconnecting, reconnecting, forgetting network, etc. I even changed the channel on my router, no change.

Any ideas? When I Google it I get general advice on fixing wifi issues, but this is only specific to my home wifi. So I'm confused. Thanks in advance.

Font Issue on S7 using Firefox

When typing in the reply block within a forum thread, on my phone, the font defaults to very small, smaller than the regular font on the thread. Sometimes, I hit something on the screen and the font within the reply block gets larger, much larger..
I have not been able to replicate it.
I am on my laptop now..
Easy to read obviously.
But on the phone, I have to manually use two fingers and move out the box to zoom in..to see what I am typing.
I use a Galaxy S7, Mozilla Firefox as a browser

Help Setting up restricted account on LG Nexus 5

Hello,

It's the first time I write on this forum, so please excuse me if I'm in the wrong section or even the wrong forum.

I have an old nexus 5, which I want to give to my son. He has a restricted account (he's 9) and I can't seem to add him.

I tried the following things:
  1. I reset the phone to factory default
  2. Tried to log-in with his account
  3. I got an error saying that I need a newer version of the google services package
So, then I:
  1. So Logged in as myself
  2. Updated all the packages
  3. Created a new user and switched to it
  4. Tried to log-in with my son's account
  5. I got an error saying that the restricted account works only as primary one
  6. I can't delete the primary account, other that with factory reset, which would revert all the updates as well.
So it's a bit of a chicken and egg problem. I'd appreciate your help with this.

Email and Texts only update when phone is charging

It was rather strange but about 5 months ago, my email app would only ping that I had received an email when I plugged it into charge. When I do plug the phone in, I get usually around half a dozen to a dozen pings, and then while it is still charging it will ping me as it normally should. I didn't have much of a problem with this, but now it is also doing this with texts. Should I take it in to get it fixed or is this a software issue?
