I am on verizon and cannot get a good signal in my office. (-105) with one bar. My notification bounce back and I cannot make a call. I had no issues with my note 5 from same place and I know another with verizon without problems.

Are other having this issue or do i have a bad antenna or something on my phone?

PROBLEM

Just installed Android 10 on Pixel 3 XL
Gmail app for my Exchange email account is notifying me: "Security Update Required"
Clicking the notification opens the Gmail app and gives me a prompt to "Update Now"
Clicking "Update now" on the prompt crashes the app and brings back the notification referenced above
Not sure if related but I've noticed Gmail is no longer listed as a "Device Admin"

WHAT I'VE TRIED

Different combinations of deleting account, deleting and reinstalling Gmail updates, clearing data/cache

I am creating a feature in an app in which the user can record their screen. So far, I've been semi-successful.

As a first pass, I tried recording screenshots then encoding them using JCodec. This worked, but the encoding was extremely slow on Android which made it unfeasible.

A second attempt was to use MediaRecorder but this records the whole screen, including the Android UI. The results are ugly and I haven't found a way to record only a portion of the screen using MediaRecorder.

So I'm looking for any alternative solutions or possibly a library that can crop video that isn't slow to process like JCodec. Any ideas?

I have [Settings -> Display -> Advanced -> Sleep] set to 30 minutes, but my phone goes to sleep after 5 seconds even when I'm looking at it. Any ideas?

Edit: This has been happening for a long time now and I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the Attentive Display not working properly.

Problem 1: The Attentive Display overrides whatever your sleep setting and/or puts the phone to sleep manually after 5 seconds.
Problem 2: If you turn off the Attentive Display, it does not stop overriding whatever your sleep setting is and changing the sleep setting doesn't have any effect.
Problem 3: The Attentive Display's facial recognition is not very good to begin with
Problem 4: The phone's camera is not very good, making it hard for the facial recognition to be any good.

I have an S9 and a Tab4. I don't use the Tab nearly as often as the phone. So each time I turn the Tab on, it 'catches up' on notifications that have happened since the last time I used it. Problem is that I have already seen these on the S9, which I keep on and with me 24/7. This really slows down the processor, etc. and inhibits updating apps, or whatever else I may be doing on the Tab.

Is there a way to disable this? If so, do I do it on the Tab or is it an Anroid issue? Thanks.

I'm trying to pass a custom data class object from a foreground service to a BroadcastReceiver. I have tried using Parcelable, Parcelize and Serializable, but the BroadcastReceiver intent always reports it as null.

I have wasted a couple of days searching for an answer and have looked at some of the threads here and elsewhere. The accepted answers that work for others are not working for me.

Here's the service:

Code:

class MyService : Service(){

............
<Some code that initialises alarmTimeInMillis>
............

   private fun sendDataToReceiver(){
      val intentMyRcvr : Intent = Intent("Data", null, this, MyReceiver::class.java)
      intentMyRcvr.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_RECEIVER_FOREGROUND)
      val bundle = Bundle()
      val myParcel = MyParcel(dataP.Id, dataP.Location, dataP.Title, dataP.Description, dataP.Type)
      bundle.putParcelable("MyParcel", MyParcel)
      intentMyRcvr.putExtras(bundle)
      val pendingIntentMyRcvr= PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, dataP.Id, intentMyRcvr, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT)
      val alarmManager = getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE) as AlarmManager
      alarmManager.setWindow(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, alarmTimeInMillis, 5 * 60 * 1000, pendingIntentMyRcvr)
   }
}

Here's the BroadcastReceiver:

Code:

class MyRcvr : BroadcastReceiver() {

   override fun onReceive(context: Context, intent: Intent) {
       if (intent.action == "Data") {
           val bundle = intent.getBundleExtra("MyParcel")
           val myParcel = bundle.getParcelable<MyParcel>("MyParcel")

           val intentToService = Intent("Data", null, context, MyService::class.java)
           if (myParcel != null) {
               intentToService.putExtra("MyParcel", MyParcel)
               context.startService(intentToService)
           }
       }
   }
}

Here's the Parcelize data class:

Code:

@Parcelize
data class MyParcel(
   var Id: Int = 0,
   var Location: String,
   var Title: String,
   var Description: String,
   var Type: String,
) : Parcelable

I've also tried without using Bundle i.e. directly passing the parcelable object. Neither produces any error in the service but, the the rceiver always reports it as null. I have included the stack trace from logcat:

Code:

4081-4081/a.b.c E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main Process: a.b.c, PID: 4081

I am beginning to wonder if it is a bug in the latest SDK or Kotlin Plugin. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong ?

So my wifes Note 8 has some cracking in the glass on the front screen. Basic repair. I have done tons of screen replacements on older Samsung galaxy phones and it is very basic repair work. The note 8 has the glass backing so I dont want to mess with it so I filed the $29 claim with Asurion (I have verizon) and I take it to uBreakIfix to get repaired. 2 hours later they call me and said they "cant complete the repair because the fingerprint sensor on the back doesnt work." & "based off Samsungs stringent testing requirements we cant replace the front screen if the fingerprint sensor doesnt work and the fingerprint sensor isnt covered by Asurion"

I replied with "okay but I dont care about the fingerprint sensor. That's why my claim was for the front screen only. I dont care what Samsungs "stringent testing requirements are" It's my phone and I don't give a shit about the fingerprint sensor just fix the part that is covered by my insurance"

They wouldnt do it.

Now what do I do?????? Do I have any other options? This is a joke.

uBreakIFix just doesnt want to do the work because since they cant fix the fingerprint sensor, they cant make money off me by only completing the work covered by insurance.

I've been on a quest for a long time to set volumes based on location, like at home I want certain volumes set and at work I want my phone on vibrate. I've been surprised how hard it is to get it to work right when you throw bluetooth and headphones into the mix (mostly the bluetooth).

I'd like to set speaker volume when I enter or leave these locations but not affect bluetooth volume. So I track when bluetooth is connected but getting it to work right is still elusive. I think it boils down to timing, order of when things happen, differences in when bluetooth reports as being connected vs. when the volume setting applies to bluetooth.

Is there any way to ignore whether bluetooth or headphones are active and instead just say "I want the speaker volume to be X" so that once bluetooth deactivates or headphones unplug, the speaker volume is already at the desired level? In other words, would it be possible to have tasker somehow tell android to set the speaker volume rather than generically the media volume? (possible feature request?)

Any other way to approach this problem that isn't so fraught with complexity?

HI,
After I upgraded to Android 10 the fingerprint unlock feature stops working from time to time. The fix is too reboot the phone. The fingerprint still works on apps and if I go to fingerprint setup it detects my fingerprint. At the same time it doesn't even recognize my finger swiped when I try to unlock the phone. Thus it isn't the sensor. I deleted my fingerprints and re-saved them. No change. I don't see anything action that is causing this. Any ideas? Anyone else having this issue?

)I need to transfer as many apps as possible to the SD card which is only 4% used, but none of the utilities which are supposed to do this ---- such as Apps2SD, and especially Link2SD. The latter works fine on my Samsung Tablet but not at all on my Redmi Note 7. No apps identified as 'movable' are listed. I like Link2SD, but have tried others some of which ask me to 'select' SD card and I am not sure if I am doing that right (instructions flash on and off too fast to read); and others ask me to root the phone. The only thing I know about rooting is not to go near it. Is root required for Link2SD to work? I tried asking the Developer but go no reply.

Hi
I have Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus, I'm using brand new Bose 700 blue-tooth over ear noise cancelling headphones. It doesn't happen all the time but occasionally when listening to music playing on my phone, i get a notification and it beeps in my headphones but then it doesn't stop beeping, nothing you do can stop the beeping, if you turn off the headphones, the phone continues beeping, the only answer has been to restart the phone.
I've made sure to run off 'repeat notifications settings' not sure what else to do, the same thing happened on a previous pair of Bose Q35 II headphones on my S9, clearly this is an Android issue as it doesn't happen on other phones.
Any Advice or suggestions?

When I press "RESTARD" the phone shuts down and restarts normally. After that it operates normally for several hours or days when the same box appears and the sequence is repeated/

Is it possible for the GPS location be wrong. I have looked at my husband location sometimes when is not home and it shows him at a certain address. When I ask him, "who lives there?" He denies ever being there. The locations or his time line is spot on with everything else. Is it possible it's wrong?

My husband has Google Voice number on his phone he states he doesn't know where it come from the states he doesn't have a Hangout app but I find history where he's been on there. He always keeps his volumes is notifications and messages silent play joint account without Verizon which I am the account holder so I have his email password and I've created his account on my phone also or I can go in and look at his activity history email and so on. On his phone there is no hang out out but it is on my phone in his account how is that possible and how can I tell if he's deleting them and then reinstall when he wants to get on that site. He has multiple multiple messages every day that come through his phone with sites with women on it play father language telling him that they're only a few miles away from him. also and in his activity history there is a livechat.com, meetup.com.. he states that he's never been to any of them sites that's something through Chrome and that if they just pop up randomly. is this possible?

I keep getting messages that tell me to update Google Play Services on my BenQ Agora phone. While I can download from the Playstore it will not install.

I've tried all the usual fixes to the point of backing up the phone and doing a factory reset but it still will not install. Most of my other apps will not work as a result.

Any suggestions or is my 'pone just broken beyond my repair capabilities?

GAH! They screwed it up so bad!

Is there any way to go back to Android 9?
Or is there any way to get the navigation back to the way it was? It's just terrible now but it was real nice before.
