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?

Deep linking

Hi guys,

We're developing a new game for Android and we understood that we should definitely take deep linking under consideration when it comes to UA and retargeting.
I know that big apps are using it due to the fact that they have high volumes of users and it helps with decreasing churn and increasing engagement but I'm not sure why would a small indie developer would need this.
Do you have examples for me regarding the usage of deep linking for small apps? Could it be that I don't need to use it at the beginning and only once I'm big enough we should start using it.

I'm sure someone here can assist (:

Thanks,

Gordon

How to use custom font in Image Asset in Android Studio?

I was trying to change the application icon of my project. I figured out i had to use Image Asset to create it. I chose the background image and while i chose the foreground to have text. I couldn't use a custom font in it. Any solutions?

I tried to check the xml files created by it after clicking OK.. but couldn't find any font-family attribute there. Also tried to search how to add custom fonts to source asset but with no success I only found the answers to add them to the project instead of Image Asset.

New To App Development Problems

I have just recently started to work with kotlin and am working on developing an app, however I am having difficulty due to what I believe is lack of familiarity with the language. So any help would be appreciated.

Problem 1 (main): I am trying to implement a navigation drawer on top of a navigation bar to sub-divide some of the options.
example: Nav Bar (3 options) -> Nav drawer 1 ( 6 options ), Nav drawer 2 ( 6 options ), Nav drawer 3 ( 6 options ).
The problem is that I can't get my "onNavigationItemSelected" function to recognize the Nav Drawer buttons.

Problem 2 (other): I am getting a app crash when I try to implement a menu button to activate the nav drawer, receiving a "findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout) must not be null" error. I have the exact same code in another project and it works fine, I can't figure out what in this code is braking it.

Problem 3 (annoyance): Everything is fine when I start the application up but when I select an option from the nav bar the toolbar at the top of the screen slides up. May be linked to problem number 2.
