App Inventor toolbar.addView?

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?

previous fragment
Code:
val toolbar = requireActivity().findViewById<Toolbar>(R.id.toolbar_usersearch)
toolbar.menu.clear() //This clears the menu, I want to clear the added layout.
toolbar.inflateMenu(R.menu.toolbar_menu_searchprofile)
toolbar.setOnMenuItemClickListener(this::onOptionsItemSelected)

Viewing list of available movies on Showbox & Tea TV

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.

Cannot send or receive MMS while on Wi-Fi

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.

Root? Hotspot despite service provider

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

Router set to 40mhz 802.11n, but all phones limited to 65mbps

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.

Help Please suggest a trustworthy customer ROM to install on Mi 4

I have a Xiaomi Mi 4 phone. android version is 7.1.2 and my phone manufacturer is not likely to release android 8 update for my model. So i plan to install android 8 or 8.1 using custom rom (for running some corporate apps) and not interested in android 9.
Please let me know if Pixel experience custom ROM is open source or not. Apart from lineage, what are other trustworthy open source custom ROM?
If i go for open source and popular custom ROM, chances of anyone writing code for backdoor entry to my phone or info from phone getting transferred to developer is slim, right?

Do i need to root my phone in order to install custom ROM?

I have a Xiaomi Mi 4 phone. android version is 7.1.2 and my phone manufacturer is not likely to release android 8 update for my model. So i plan to install android 8 using custom rom. I read steps to install different custom ROM's and i have some doubts.
Do i need to root my phone in order to install custom ROM or is if sufficient if i just unlock bootloader and install TWRP recovery? Please note rooting phone is a step mentioned AFTER unlocking bootloader and installing TWRP recovery in order to root phones but i am just wondering if this rooting step is necessary at all if my purpose is only installing custom ROM.

Help Sound problem in Xiaomi Mi9

I've noticed a problem which I belive is being caused by my Smartphone but I'm not entierley sure.

The problem itself is pretty weird, Whenever I plug my headphones into the device and try to play music, it plays quite lower than what it should play, but if i touch the Tone volume a bit (even if I don't actually change the current tone), after a second or two, it starts to play the music as normal.

From what I've tried it seems that it's not nay aplication that is causing this problem (Since I've already tried a lot of Music Player apps and the problem still persists), but it seems that even if I use other aplication, still uses the equalizer that's set on the original Xiaomi Music

Also the problem isn't in the headphones, since i've tried them in other devices and they works just fine, but to clarify, my headphones are a Jack port, so im using the USB-C converter that comes with the device, which may be the cause of this problem, but since I'm not entierly sure and I don't want to buy another converter/USB-C headphones until i know where the problem is, so by the situation, I think it seems to be the case that the problem it's being caused by the USB-C converter or the Xiaomi music app Sound effects.

Edit: Also I've notice that this problem doesn't happen on other audio/video players such as youtube or my searcher (I'm using Opera by the way)

Help [SOLVED] Urgent! Screen fried, can't enter PIN

My helper's Samsung freaked out [after being dropped one too many times...without a case], and its screen is basically fried. It's squished down to about half-size, and it's flickering.

It restarted at some point, and now needs her PIN, which she can't enter on the screen.

We have a USB-to-USB-C adapter; using it, we plugged in one of my desktops' keyboards, but I guess the phone's power wasn't strong enough to make it work--nothing happened.

I don't have any wireless keyboards, but I do have wireless Trackman trackballs. I thought MAYBE the phone would recognize that and she could use its pointer to enter her PIN. Nope! No such luck.

Any ideas on how to do this? She just needs to enter her PIN, but the screen is unusable.
