My Girlfriend Nags me too much about my case!

Sooo well we all probably been here before when your girlfriend starts nagging the hell outta you because you don't wanna put the case on your $1099 Note10+ and I can't argue with her to tell her that I do like the case but I hate the little flap thing that covers the spen because it comes undone so easily and I hate it especially it's uneven so when I hold the note 10+ in my right hand it feels so uncomfortable, not to mention the case has a charging port flap that has no space for the USB-C OTG because the USB port doesn't have enough of area to plug my USB OTG in because of its size and its annoying when you rely on the USB OTG feature for connecting to a PS4 controller or a USB flashdrive to transfer videos and your being nagged that I have to keep the case on, I primarily bought the note 10+ for the ability to emulate and i feel like I'm very restrictive of what I can do!

What should I do?

Apps Surface View Player

Hey guys, i started to make my own tv app cause wanted to add my idea's..lol

so i got lots of it going but stuck on this surfaceview issue

1.when i click a link the screen gow's black then loads the video?

i think i found it. by adding:
Java:
@override
public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder arg0) {
    if (mediaPlayer != null) {
        mCurrentVideoPosition = mediaPlayer.getCurrentPosition();
        mediaPlayer.release();
        mediaPlayer = null;
    }
}

2.when i press back to go back to the main screen ,seems like it created layers everytime i click a link...
is there a way to destroy the previous and make a new one every click?to avoid that..


Java:
@Override
    public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder arg0) {
        if(mStream_id != null){
            String contentUri = Url + "live/" + username + "/" + password + "/" + mStream_id + ".ts";
            try {
                mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
                mediaPlayer.setDisplay(vidHolder);
                mediaPlayer.setDataSource(contentUri);
                mediaPlayer.prepare();
                mediaPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(this);
                mediaPlayer.setOnBufferingUpdateListener(this);
                mediaPlayer.setOnCompletionListener(this);
                mediaPlayer.setScreenOnWhilePlaying(true);
                mediaPlayer.setOnVideoSizeChangedListener(this);
                mediaPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
            } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            } catch (SecurityException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            } catch (IllegalStateException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            } catch (IOException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

        }
    }

Apps Scheduled Runs

I'm trying to schedule the running of a function in the MainActivity thread. I've tried both an AlarmManager and a Handler. They both look like they're going through, but nothing ever runs at the time it's supposed to. Not sure what I'm doing wrong here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Admittedly, I'm a bit noobish, though this is my second app (both very basic).

The relevant sections of the code for Handler:
Java:
    public Runnable r;
    public Handler TSH = new Handler();

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
...
        r = new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {         Log.d("Tag","Hi Again");
                RefreshList();}
        };
Calendar c1 = Calendar.getInstance();
c1.add(Calendar.MINUTE,1);
TSH.postAtTime(r, c1.getTimeInMillis());

The relevant sections of the code for AlarmManager:
Java:
public class TrainCheckerAlarm  extends BroadcastReceiver {
    public MainActivity ma;

    public void GetMA(MainActivity m) {ma = m;}

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
    {
        ma.RefreshList();
    }
    public void setAlarm(Context context, Calendar cal)
    {
        AlarmManager am =( AlarmManager)context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
        Intent i = new Intent(context, TrainCheckerAlarm.class);
        PendingIntent pi = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, i, 0);
        am.set(AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME, cal.getTimeInMillis(), pi);
    }
}
Then in MainActivity, there's a:
public TrainCheckerAlarm TCA = new TrainCheckerAlarm();
TCA.GetMA(this);
TCA.setAlarm(this,c1);

LG stylo 5 "google play services keeps stopping" problem

I have an LG Stylo 5 and my carrier is Cricket. I keep getting a pop up message stating that "Google Play services keeps stopping" with 3 options app info, close app, and send feed back. all of which are pointless because the message keeps interrupting anything I try try to do on the phone, including doing anything in settings. I have rebooted multiple times and am considering a hard reset if possible. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem otherwise?

Struggling fixing Samsung Tab 3, 7.0 WiFi

My Samsung Tab 3 is rooted by kingoroot and that worked flawlessly, I installed it using Firefox on Android.
That is, until the installation of F-secure anti virus program finished and the Tab 3 not being used for about 3 weeks.
After 3 weeks, at login into the user account things seem to go very wrong and very quick, starting with a window telling me 'program has stopped' followed by a crash and reboot. There's no way to stop/delete any app (anti virus or kingoroot) that causes the system to crash immediately and reboot again. In recovery mode I tried to wipe both user data/factory reset and cache. But nothing seem to make any changes. Next I tried to flash the appropriate Android 4.4.2 using Odin in Windows, but allthough the device is found and connected, any version fails to flash the firmware. Only version 3.07 seem to work, the flash finishes in Windows only but not on the Tab 3. I can tell because on the Tab 3, there's no statusbar that shows up during flashing. But hardware doesn't seem to be the problem, because using Heimdall does seem to flash the separate files from the extracted stock ROM. I can tell because there's a statusbar on the Tab 3 that show up during flashing. Yet I noticed differences during flashing, when flashing 'system.img' finishes, the Tab 3 immediately goes into reboot, but for all other components of that same ROM that are flashed, it took several seconds until Tab 3 reboots.
So, my guess is that at immediate reboot after flashing 'system.img' the flashed image file does not replace the installed file on the Tab 3, but is deleted instead.
That would explain as to why there's no change after flashing completes with Heimdall.
That also may explain as to why flashing with Odin in Windows fails.
Question now, is it 'kingoroot' that actively refuses any changes at flashing, or is it F-secure, or both?
How do I get rid of it?
How/where do I get an untouched full version of Android 4.1.2 JB as to Android 4.4.2 KK seem to be an update version only.

Camera and Kindle froze at the same time

I was taking pictures and videos with my phone and suddenly the video froze. I was unable to get anything to respond on the screen except the square button that cascaded all the currently open apps. So I closed the camera by tapping the X while on that screen. I reopened my camera app and tried my video again, it locked up my phone again. Repeat with the square button. I reopened camera again and tried to take a still. Nothing. All I got was a wee flag that read "Cannot save" on it. Well pooh. I figured if I gave it some time it'll reassert itself and I could carry on. Hope, as you know, is eternal. So I closed the camera and opened my Amazon Kindle app to continue reading my book and all I got was a blank white screen and the little round symbol letting me know it was thinking about slapping down my book. Well - it thought and thought and thought and after a 5 minute wait, I thought I'd better give up. I tried a few more apps and nothing else seems to be out of sorts. Fast forward to the next day: rinse and repeat the above. Pooh. I can't document my work and I can't read my book which is very interesting (to me, anyway). It's been a week now, rinse and repeat each day so the blinking thing isn't gonna shake itself out.

So what do I need to do to get these two apps going again? I have the LG V40 ThinQ ver9 Sfw ver V405UA206

How to Trigger Android Backup From Google Login

I am no longer able to view the screen on my phone since it was damaged and smashed. The phone however stays powered on. I would like to trigger from my computer/google chrome to start a backup on my phone so I have everything current before parting with my phone.

This is mainly because I have some important voicemails left on the phone that I would like to save and open. I will also be switching carriers soon, so I'm not sure if the voice mails are cached on the phone (probably not) or on Verizon's servers with voicemails.

A.) How can I trigger a backup manually from the computer?
B.) Once I have the backup file, can I browse it or access my voice mails?

Kind Regards

Help LG V10 bricked

I have an Europe LG H960A 32gb with unlocked bootloader that used to have Android Nougat. While trying to manage with the TWRP recovery I accidentally cleared all the filesystem (Android included) and rebooted with no OS or ROMs. So now I can't do anything, and the phone is stucked on download mode, and TWRP seems to have been cleared too. I tried literally anything to flash back a stock firmware (LG Bridge, LGUP, LG Flash Tool) but without success. The only thing that apparently did something is LGUP (DLL fixed) with an KDZ install, but always gets 0x2000 command error everytime reaches 26%. Maybe I've the wrong version of the file? I'm not sure about what version I should flash (I'm not very informed about kdz "nomenclature" meaning). What should I do?
