My wife just purchased a new (referb) unlocked S9+ from Amazon. However, when going through the setup process, it keeps saying "Couldn't sign in. There was a problem communication with the Google Server". I managed to play around with it and skip all of the sign in stuff in the setup process to get to the home screen of the phone, and we tried to sign in again from there with no luck. At one point, it made me take the SIM out of her old phone to continue, so that's in there now and *should* be able to use the cellular network. It's also not wanting to maintain a connection to either of our wifi networks for some reason, even though there is no issue with the wifi. I'm an iPhone guy myself, so I have absolutely no idea what's going on with her phone. This is *NEW* out of the box and basically unusable. Please help!

Hi,

This is my first app. I know that it's easy to violate against the policies at the beginning which I did. The support has also sent me an image marking the area in the app which violated. Then yesterday I republished my app with version 1.0.2 with all violations removed which have been told me.
Today I am receiving an email containing the same violations as in version 1.0. He has also attached the same image showing the same violations, that the version he had screenshot from version 1.0.

So now for my question. How come that they reject me always because version 1.0 is violating against their policies? How do I remove the oldest version? Why don't they review the newest version only? Am I overlooking something? Is it because I am uploading an .aab file and not an .apk?

Thanks in advance.
Yours truly

Had the phone for a few weeks....had set up some downloaded ringtones to use. They all worked fine til today. I noticed that several of them had reverted to the default tone, and discovered that several (but not all) of the downloaded clips were gone. THey were still listed under RINGTONES, and also still listed under the Samsung Music Player, but they would not play. They appeared to be gone (but still listed). They were all MP3s...I deleted the titles from Ringtones. I downloaded them again, and they work fine now. But...what would have deleted them in the first place? Overnight? Just curious why that would happen....

I bought my galaxy S8 about a year ago and last night i plugged it to charge i checked on it sometime later and it was hot and turned off i tried to turn it back on but it won't respond i tried to press the power button and the down volume button but nothing i also tried the power/up volume/bixby button and still no response
there's no response when i plug my charger either only it heats up a bit
there's no repair center next to where i live so i don't know what to do
has anybody ever encountered this problem befoure ? please help

I have a Samsung s10 running android 9 and want to monitor my kid's cell phone activities. They have iPhone XR's running IOS 13.1.

Is there an app the runs across both platforms that lets me use parental settings, monitor social media, text, scheduled downtime, receive alerts and uses geofences, etc. . .

I know there are parental controls within iPhones that I can set, but want to be able to receive alerts when something goes wrong or when geo-fences are entered and exited on my Android. Any apps that allow an Android to control an iPhone?

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Please help me out with this issue, been trying to figure it out for days now.

Before Android 10(Q) I could record a sound or voice, copy the *.wav file to external storage and then create a notification channel that uses that URI of that *.wav file in external storage, and it worked.

Now with Android 10(Q) the push notificaiton comes in, the phone vibrates, but the push notification custom recording sound does not sound when the app is in the background. When the app is in the foreground I am using a different URI though from AppData folder.

I have tried using external storage/directory.Notifications to store the custom sound but it does not work. Any suggestions please? This is the code in C# that I am using now and its now working. Does not matter if the suggestion is in JAVA, just need to know what the logic is, where I should store that custom sound file.

From what I read in documentation, I got the hint that I should use MediaStore, but honestly dont know how to use MediaStore.

Hi guys,

First post, so please excuse my ignorance with any house rules I may unintentionally breach.

Ok, so I’ve been using Android Media boxes to stream content for a few years now, and as the standard remote is so frustrating I’ve been using a wireless mouse with the receiver plugged into a USB port with great effect, that is until now.
I’ve recently purchased an Android media box with a more recent version of Android, and the wireless mouse that I’ve been happily using will not scroll correctly. Basically, using the scrolling wheel, when I attempt to scroll down on the screen, the screen maybe moves about 3 or 4 lines down then jumps back to the start again. If I use the scrolling wheel verrrrrrrrry slowly I can get the screen to go down further but ultimately it will always jump back to the start again. I have tried using another mouse, the same problem persists. And it is definitely not related to an individual app, as this occurs also on the home screen itself.

Anybody have any ideas how to resolve the issue? I have older media boxes that have worked just fine in the past. I would also like to add that my father also experiences the same issue with his media box, which is a different manufacturer from mine, so I’m beginning to think it’s the version of Android that may be causing it (version 9.0). Help please!

Hello,

i have to convert an old mail account from pop3 to imap and i have to keep the mails and import them in the new imap account.

Any idea how to export the mails from the integrated samsung mail app and reimport them when i created the new imap account?

The good:
Attractive design and great build quality.
Top-end hardware and impeccable performance.
Lots of connectivity options.
Dual ESS ES9018 Hi-Fi DAC.
DTS Listen and Dolby Audio support.
Android 9 Pie.

The bad:
No Netflix or Amazon Prime Video in HD.
32-bit version Android OS.
The UI doesn’t match the design of the box.
Much more expensive than the GT-King.

Being the first TV box to run on Amologic’s most powerful S922X processor, the Beelink GT-King has attracted a lot of attention, but also stirred a bit of controversy among its users. The beefy chipset may have helped the box become the new benchmark and performance king, but software-related issues with this new SoC. weren’t solved until recent updates. Fortunately, after the latest firmware upgrade, the GT-King is finally performing steadily as designed.

The recently released GT-King Pro is the upgraded version of the GT-King, and the latest addition to Beelink’s TV box lineup. The Amlogic S922X-H chipset (Hexa-core big.LITTLE CPU, Mali-G52MP6 GPU, 12nm manufacturing process) in the GT-King Pro is almost identical to the S922X inside the GT-King, the only difference being that the former has DTS Listen and Dolby Audio licenses. The Pro variant has a new metal case, a few more ports and most importantly, dual ESS ES9018 HiFi DAC which can drive headphones with an impedance of up to 600Ω.

Main Specs
Operating System: Android 9.0 (32-bit)

Storage: 64GB eMMc Internal Storage, SDXC Card Support
HDMI: HDMI 2.1 Output up to 3840*2160p@75fps
Bluetooth: Bluetooth 4.1

Retail Package: TV box*1, remote controller*1, HDMI cable*1, power adapter*1, user manual*1, service card*1


Retail Packaging



The Beelink GT King Pro comes with refined retail packaging, the highlighted skull on the front of the black box looks extremely cool.



In addition to the GT-King Pro tv box itself, inside the box you’ll find a 18W DC Adapter, an HDMI cable, a remote and a user manual. The user manual offers instructions in many different languages: English, German, French, Chinese and Japanese.


Design and build



The GT-King Pro looks like a completely different device when lying side by side with the GT-King. With a more premium metal case and bright blue finish, the Pro variant has the form factor more of a mini PC rather than a TV box. Only the skull on the top side, which looks identical to the one on the famous Skull Canyon mini PC, reminds us of its relation to the GT-King model.

Audio performance is a major selling point of the GT-king Pro, so you can also find “DTS Listen” & “Dolby Audio” licenses on the top side.



On the box’s front side, you will find a black plastic bar, which looks very much like a display. Beelink’s brand slogan “Connect to a wonderful life” is marked here.

A slew of interfaces can be found on the GT-King Pro. The front plays host to an IR receiver, which works well with the stock remote coming with the box. There’s also a tiny LED indicator, which will light up in white when the box is booted.





The left and right sides play host to 4 USB ports (3 USB 3.0 ports, 1 USB 2.0 port with OTG), 1 SDXC card slot and some vents.



The back side of the box sports a DC-in port, an RS232 port, an HDMI 2.1 port, an Ethernet connector, and a 3.5mm audio jack. There’s also a beautiful red power button, just like the one found on some Beelink’s mini PCs.



The GT-King Pro measures 119mm x 119mm x 17.9mm and weighs 380g. The build quality is excellent. Not only does the box look extremely polished, but it also feels pretty sturdy， and may even survive some occasional falls.



The supplied remote is predictably lightweight, and feels very well-built as well. The box responds quickly to its commands and the infra-red range are acceptably long and broad. The remote also comes with a 2.4GHz USB receiver, which seemed somewhat unnecessary at first. Then I realized that, with the receiver plugged in the GT-King pro, this remote can also be used as an air mouse, which is quite helpful when you use the box to browse webpages and do some productivity work.

The remote also supports voice control, and allows you to ask the Google Assistant to launch apps, play videos, mount web searches simply by saying “OK Google” followed by your command.


Setting it up



Setting up the Beelink GT-King Pro is as easy as setting up any TV box. Connecting it to a TV set (or projector) via HDMI, plugging in the DC power adapter and you are good to go.

After being powered on, a skull will show up on the TV screen, with its eyes blinking in different colors. The startup is quite fast, as the familiar Beelink homescreen will show up seconds afterwards.


System & Apps



The Beelink GT-King Pro ships with Android 9.0 Pie, with the very familiar Beelink skin on top. The launcher has everything laid out beautifully and is very easy to navigate. The date and time are located at the top left with the temperature widget below. In the center of the screen you have a link to the media center, internet browser and Google Play Store. There are also shortcuts to “clear memory”, app drawer, and settings laying below. To the right is an area where users can pin their favorite apps. Finally, at the bottom left you have shortcuts to power, volume, at the bottom right you have shortcuts to Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB Mounted storage and Network Storage.

The navigation bar at the very bottom is defaulted to be hidden, but you can bring it up with a mouse. It has many virtual keys, including a power button, a back button, a home button, a recent apps button, a screenshot key, a volume- button, a volume+ button and a hide-bar button.

I’ve shared my opinion in the GT-King review, and I have to say it again: Beelink should design a set of skins and wallpapers more in line with the design of the device. The ASUS ROG phone, the Xiaomi Black Shark phone, and the nubia Red Magic phone all have themes in line with their looks. Even though developing a skin completely different for one device may not be cost-efficient for a small operation like Beelink, adding a few wallpapers won’t be much of a difficulty.

Fortunately, the TV box allows you to set other pictures as wallpapers. I’ve just found some Skull images to customize the GT-King Pro.

Like all Beelink tv boxes, the GT-King Pro doesn’t come loaded with bloatware, but there are some preinstalled apps. Besides the stock Google Play Store, Chrome and Gallery, you can also find Beelink’s very own App Store, Bee Files Explorer, Media Center, Movie Player and Bee Music in the app drawer.



The Google Play Store is the normal phone and tablet variant instead of the TV version found on many other Google certified TV boxes. Although there are more apps in the tablet-version Play Store, you won’t get most of your favorite TV apps here.



Still, you can install the TV version of YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video from Beelink’s very own App Store, those apps work better with a remote. If these are still not enough, there’s always an option to directly install the .apk files of the apps you want.

One thing I need to mention is that the GT-King Pro runs on the 32-bit version of Android 9 Pie. There are some apps which won’t run properly on the device, but it is not a concern for average TV box users.

Bit of a whoops on the homepage atm, a blank device forum that leads to a dead end..

Hi there.
3 days ago my phone stopped charging from the cable. It stuck on 68% then i used it like "whatever i will charge it later". Then after the next charge it didnt pass 48%. I didnt updated the phones since august (which was around 110mb) so i updatedm but the battery went down to 20% and couldnt recharge it. It didnt detected the cable.
Then i went to work next day and tried some other chargers and cables and still no luck. So i deceided to do some cash cleaning (inside the 3 button hard mode menu). Didnt helped so i did a hard factory reset. After that i always got a moisture detection and didnt allowed me to charge the phone again. The next step i did was that i cleaned the usb socket but it was more or less clean. I thought maybe the weather conditions changed lately since its autumn. Still no luck. Then i bought a wireless charger and charged the phone with that finally! But the cable still didnt work. When i connected it to a PC it couldnt recognize the device. Then after some tries with other cables and flipping them over and over suddenly it started charging. The next day (today) i wanted to charge it again, but the problem happened again,... moisture detected, No PC recognition. Then i did a second factory reset. The phone charges, when i disconect it then somehow it stops working again and needs a regular reset.
The phones says its charging slow but the PC still cant recognize it.
Dont know if this is a real HW problem or just a Software Update issue.

My S7 screen flickers and eventually goes black (except the top portion above the app icons). If I warm the cell by any means (e.g.: hair dryer, etc..) the darkening eases off and eventually cell regains brightness, until it cools, and the problem resumes.

When will the update be released for wiko View?

So I'm excited about the buds but I'm honestly in the market for earphones now and the icon x is available. Which one would you pick? klingelton kostenlos
And does the icon x have some of the same features as the buds like wireless charging and EQ settings in the galaxy wearable app?

I have a Nvidia Shield in which I use Shou Video Recording to record my gameplay or what i'm doing(similar to capture cards) ringtone free

The Issue is that the App doesn't allow direct audio recording from the shield, and the closest thing would be the "Mic option"(which unfortunately records the sound of my button presses as well)

So I was wondering, is there a separate app that can record audio directly from the shield, or any android device?without worrying about any noise from the background? As well as recording from the background of the Android phone? Meaning if I'm playing a game, the app will still be internal audio recording the games sound

Hi guys, can anyone be so helpful as to tell me what these icons i've numbered are on my daughters phone? Much appreciated!

Are they safe? What do they cost, to buy and run? How do they compare to regular space heaters? Are they available online only or is it possible to find them locally?

What are gas prices looking like where you live? They've been creeping up here in SoCal--to ridiculous heights:



Crazy!

So I've not seen this before. I keep getting notification that I have voicemail.
ON A CELL NUMBER THAT IS NOT MINE.
Never seen that phone number in my life.
Obviously, I can't get rid of it. I can't get into it. It's not my number. I don't have a password.
And I cannot get it to stop notifying me of it.
How do I get this ridiculous notification to go away permanently?
