No vibration or haptic feedback

I have encountering this problem from so long but previously it was just for few minutes. But from yesterday it has stopped from vibrating while calls or pressing any key. I checked properly in setting whether it is turned on or not. But it was on . I also tried restarting it for a few times. But nothing happened. I also sent this in feedback to mi. But there was no response. Please provide any solution if avilable. Neither navigation keys nor dial pad and calls are vibrating.

DeX Word and Excel

Help...all of my Word and excel files I download from one drive come in as read only files. I need to be able to edit these files and save them back to one drive. Were they saved as read only? Is one drive doing this? Is Polaris doing this to them? I am using Office 2007 and am trying to do this on the free side. Any ideas out there would be appreciated.

Title: Disney Kingdom Hearts

Title: Super Mario Galaxy 2
Emulator: Dolphin | Platform: Nintendo Wii | Compatible: Yes | Current Known Issues: This game runs really good, but their is a very very tiny audio latency issue that causes issue with sound struggling to keep up, this only happens in cutscenes majority of the time, however this game is fully playable and has no other known issues that i know of at this moment!

Title: Super Mario Galaxy 1
Emulator: Dolphin | Platform: Nintendo Wii | Compatible: Yes | Current Known Issues: The game runs decent, however you will encounter minor to minimal audio crackling this is a huge issue since it isnt annoying but as well you will encounter at random tikes where you lag a tiny bit causing the game to slow down for a few seconds...this can be tweaked in the GFX settings in the emulator to fix these issue or improve them overall just takes trial and error


Not Compatible:

• Title:
True Crime: New York City
Emulator: DamonPS2 Pro & Dolphin | Platform: PlayStation 2 & Gamecube | Compatible: No | Current known issues: Both emulators failed in two different ways, the gamecube version had very bad audio crackling, lagging and picture would be greyed out that made it unplayable, as goes for the PS2 version the game did not suffer the same fate as the Gamecube version, but suffered worse then the gamecube as even getting started was impossible because of serious graphical issues that majority of the menus and logos and text were scrambled and is needed to function properly to play the game as the game heavily relies on it

Title: Call of Duty: Finest Hour
Emulator: Dolphin | Platform: Nintendo Gamecube | Compatible: No | Current known issues: game runs like crap audio crackles alot and even though you can understand what their saying it can be very annoying after a few minutes, this also has issues with framerates and is very annoying to play, however the PS2 version runs better and is the preferred way to play the game.

Title: The Sims 2
Emulator: DamonPS2 Pro | Platform: Sony PlayStation 2 | Compatible: No | Current known issues: runs decently but suffers from minor lag, it is still playable but constants minor lag witch causes some latency issues with the game syncing.

Title: Futurama The Game
Emulator: DamonPS2 Pro | Platform: Sony PlayStation 2 | Compatible: No | Current Known Issues: The game tends to work as normal but when completing the 1st ever level the game crashes no matter what you do to prevent it to crash. This doesn't have anything to do with hardware related issues but hasn't been properly fixed via the emulation side of things.

Title: Scarface: The World Is Yours
Emulator: DamonPS2 Pro | Platform: Sony PlayStation 2 | Compatible: No | Current Known Issues: The game runs great when you launch the game but as you get into the actual game, the game lags so much that not only you physically lag but audio has issues trying to render it out leaving it to sound terrible, this could be an emulation problem and hopefully not a hardware limitation problem!

Find the emulator perfect for you:

NOTE:
This list is the best emulators i deemed perfect to use they have either little to no ads and if they do have ads their not annoying ones that will not let you play the game you want to play, these are 100% trusted by the emulation community and hold 100% high satisfaction and some may require you to pay for the app to get the best experience, look for the green "$" icon next to title to see if its a app you need to buy to use if you see a icon that is dark yellow like this "$" this means its free but has in-app purchases to unlock the pro version. If you see an icon in orange like this "$" this means its free but has a pro version of the same app but seperate from the free version.

Apps HTML APP conflict with office suite

Hi every one on this forum hope you all are doing well i need little help i have html based android app which was working fine before i installed officesuite now when i open the app and click on any button it opened by officesuite and then there i get error file not found (android_asset/index.html) so is there any solution for it to avoide officesuite to take over and read the html files form my app?
Thanks.

My phone specs say front camera does 720p max. Open Camera is able to record 1080p. For real?

This is interesting. New BLU Vivo X5 phone with android 9.

The spec sheet on my phone says the 8mp front camera only records in 720p maximum, and the 13mp rear camera records 1080p.

In the stock android camera app, it truly limits me to 720p from the front cam, and 1080p from the rear cam.

I found that very odd, since it's an 8mp front camera.

I installed Open Camera, and it is able to record 1080p from the front camera. I have verified it.

I'm not sure if it's 720p upsampled to 1080p, or if it's true 1080p.
The video quality definitely looks sharp enough, so it might be true 1080p.

But I'm wondering if the stock camera app was purposely soft-limited to 720p, and the 8mp camera was capable of 1080p recording all along?


What do you guys think? Are all 8mp phone cameras capable of recording in 1080p?

Notification badges

I've searched all over for a solution to this. Even after I have disabled notifications via Settings for Facebook and Twitter, the badges are still appearing on those two apps. I know I can long-press the app icon to clear the badges, but I don't want them to appear in the first place. (I've also clicked on app info and done whatever I could do there.) Help?

What you need to earn to buy a house: CNBC

On my local news just now, they cited some statistics from a CNBC report about housing costs. I found the report, and it really underscores how wildly home prices vary across the US.

It only includes 11 cities, so it's far from a comprehensive list. But its point is to show how much you need to earn in order to afford a house of a certain price. It shows incomes needed if you're putting 10% down or 20%.

Having lived in two of the areas on the list, I couldn't help but notice that prices in a city proper in no way represent the actual housing market for the area. For example, its median home price for Dallas doesn't remotely reflect that of Carrollton (the North Dallas suburb where I owned a house). It's a lot less accurate than that here in LA! Prices here, from suburb to suburb, vary by millions. But it's a good guideline for those pondering buying a house.

Audio Crackling over Bluetooth

Preamble: I had an Iphone 7 for about a year and had my music downloaded onto it to listen in my car while driving about over Bluetooth. Worked flawlessly. I then traded it in for a Note 9 after missing the customization of Android. Synced the phone up to the car aaaaaand it crackles at higher frequency notes, especially during voice sections in songs. Thought it was my Sync2 head unit being quirky, and then I tried it with my roommate's UE speaker... and it's still cracking.

I've already scoured forum after forum from times long gone, and I can't find any answers that have worked. I've tried everything short of factory resetting the phone. Re-pairing the device, turning it off and back on, trying multiple music apps, removing objects in the vicinity that could cause interference (which I found out my Drive Safe and Save beacon amplifies the crackles substantially when it turns on. It also runs off of the phone's Bluetooth), and trying to mess with the developer options. Side note: The developer options for bluetooth reset themselves to default within a minute or two? Really?

Listening to music through the phone's speakers or through headphones is fine. It's just on Bluetooth where things go awry.
