No need for NFC or any personal smart-devices, you can just grin and pay your restaurant bills, etc.

Redefining the term “happy meal”, fast food fanatics in China now just need to flash their smiles to earn their dinner.
Alibaba’s Ant Financial has teamed up with KFC in the eastern Chinese city of Hangzhou to debut its news “smile to pay” service.

Only in China of course.

I'd never used Smart Lock until recently, after getting sick of having to unlock the screen a million times a day. I set it to remain unlocked while at home, as clearly indicated under Trusted places:



(And, yes, it definitely has my home address as its location.)

But I found out yesterday at my vet's office--which is ≈4 miles from my house--that it doesn't work: it let me right in, without requiring unlocking.

So...what's the point?

I debated whether to put this here or in Lounge, since I don't know if it's specific to this phone. I guess we'll see...

So I recently got my note 10 . funny it didn't come with an SD card slot . Oh how quirky. Well ok . I can deal with out that Especially considering how much I paid for it. but that's not my biggest problem. since there's plenty of memory in here . Ok moving on .My biggest issue. Slow Wi-Fi speeds.no at first I was contributing this to my router except for all my other devices seemed to work just fine and typically does see the 300 megabits a sec down I have slated from my internet service provider. ... So I'm thinking well can't be my hardware . so it must be my phone . but just to be safe, And therefore not jump to any conclusions. I took it over my buddies house, who has gigabit speeds. Through fiber-optic. And a fiber optic router connected as well through fiber optics. Yeah I know we're all jealous. Right . Bastard. We checked on several laptops.yap that works. And several other devices. All we're receiving at least 600 to 900Mbs all but my note 10.....
It tops out at 120mbs what is a Galaxy plan on doing to fix this. My old phone did much better than that. Maybe I got a bed phone so I take it back to T-Mobile they give me a new one. Same thing. Tops out at 120 megabits per second. I'm thoroughly pissed I thought Galaxy was supposed to have a superior product.

Yep; that's correct,Note 10 Wi-Fi problems. Now you would think Galaxy would want to be superior. But no... they took a step back instead of progressing they digressed . With the recent note 10 flagship. Myself and other customers like me have all started to realize that their Wi-Fi sucks on this device. When asked to comment from Galaxy. We got no response. Tested on both gigabit equipment 10 100 equipment from cable modem to fiber optics all tests were the same . the throughoutput on these things absolutely suck. My lower end cellphones do a lot better. Now the question is Galaxy what are you going to do about this? did I really just spend $900 on a piece of crap. You took a step backwards in technology and for what reason?

Hey guys im trying to find out if i can root my phone by plugging it into my android tv box and running a root app that is a server and connects to a client app, or could i use adb, my tv box is rooted if that helps, is there a adb app that works with 2 android devices and is there a root command? Or how do i find a list of terminal commands

Somtmes when i download a app it opens and immediately crashes, i re install and it does the same thing, i dont think the device isn't relivent since it happens on any device, the apk works on some devices but on certain devices it just opens and immediately crashes, is it a compatibility issue? And is there any way to fix it so it wont crash, already tried clearing cach im also looking for a app that could debug my apps, so it will tell me what made the app crash, it could also be a ram issue right? Ill try to clean my ram and try it again

i have a old phone, And i dont remember what email i used, i have managed to get back in, but it won't let me add any gmail accounts, ive got test dpc but it sais this app is not the owner of this device, but i added it in security device administrator, isn't that the same thing, when i try to set up a new account it says, this device is locked by factory reset protection, contact your it department 

Hi I think I may have a setting wrong somewhere.


Everytime I download a app I can only view the right half

Hi friends, I have added a layout file to the fragment in the subfragments with addView in the toolbar I defined in BaseFragment. However, when you press the back button, the layout added with addView is still there. How do I clear this layout in the previous fragment after pressing the back button?

Hi,

How can I forward calls to another number rather than my voicemail when my phone is on airplane mode? I can't see it in my settings. Am I missing something, or do I need to download an app to do this?

I would like to replace the battery on a Samsung S5 Mini and eBay looks to be a minefield. Although loads of listings claim to be "genuine" and "original" the feedback would suggest otherwise!

Can anyone tell me where I can get a genuine Samsung battery or a good quality replacement from, please?

Thanks

I have had an Android Q TV box for a couple of years and thought it might be time to update to a Q+ which I did. When I load either Showbox or Tea TV the movies available are in a loop when I try to scroll down and see what is there. I see approximately the first 15 and then it pops up to the starting point again. When I do this on my old Q box it scrolls down perfectly and I can see everything available.

Hi all,

i've got a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" wifi, and want to upgrade to Android 9 Pie version. But i can't figure it out, how to start? Should i root the tablet first, and then install custom ROM, or ? And which tools should i use?

The search I see next to the "androidforums" and logo does not seem to discriminate

How can I add a mock location to my device, under developer options? When I click mock location it currently says "nothing"..?

This is a problem I've been experiencing for years. My current device is an LG Stylo 5. Just bought it a month ago. My previous device was an LG Stylo 2. Before that was the original LG Stylo. Basically I can't even remember the last time I had a MetroPCS device where I could send or receive MMS while on Wi-Fi. Every time I have to turn off Wi-Fi and enable data to be able to receive the damn picture. It's absolutely ridiculous.

I am new to android studio working on simple login page

I want to check if a user exists in server by using rest api. I have done this earlier in Xamarin but not sure how to do it in android.

The user accepts email password entries and checks if user is registered or not. How can I do this?

Hello,

I deleted my calendar and my SecCalendarProvider.apk, how can I resintall my canlendar?

Also, installing a custom rom is not an option since I have the AT&T version of the S4 with the bootloader locked.

Any help would be appreaciated!!!

Thanks.

I apologize in advance if my question is inappropriate. But I won't know if I don't ask...

I have a Moto G6, unlocked and unbranded. I can turn hotspot on on my phone, and other devices can connect to it as if it were a wireless router. But, it no longer shares the internet like it used to.

My phone service provider does not support sharing the internet by hotspoting. In fact it does not support hotspot at all. So they are not a resource. I have an "unlimited" data plan which can be throttled down after 60gb. And 60gb is more than enough for my needs. For the last 1.5 years I have been able to hotspot this phone to my laptop and a Roku device with the same service provider and same plan. But not any longer. One day not long ago it just stopped sharing the internet.

That's a long way to get to the question, but here it is....

1. Would rooting the phone give me a way to wirelessly share the phone's internet connection to my laptop and Roku, despite my provider's non-support on the issue?

2. If this is a taboo topic here, can you direct me to somewhere I can ask and learn about this?

I'm not preaching or complaining, I'm just trying to utilize the 60gb I pay for each month.

Thanks
Mike

How do i sync my phone and my husbands

My laptop with a dual band Intel wifi chip connects to the router at 300mbps, so I know the router is set to 40mhz mode double channel width.
I should be getting 150mbps with a 1x1 antenna.

and yet, all my android devices can only connect to the router at 802.11g speed... 65-72mbps, instead of 150mbps.

The router is sitting a few feet away from the devices.

How do I fix this?

I tested 3 phones and 1 tablet.

Hi

Is there an app that can display an image after boot? Users can close the image after seeing it. I would like to display warning notices or user instructions on tablet related hardware
