Help Unsure what this issue is called

Hey all, unfortunately I don't know what this problem is called, so I was unsure how to search for it.

But it's basically when I partially touch the screen (example, if my thumb just barely touches the edge of the screen,) and then with my other hand try to tap on another area of the screen, the tap does not register.

Maybe its a common "problem" since it doesn't seem to be specific to any phone, I've run into it on Galaxy phones, iPhones, Pixel and now the Note10 (its a little more prominent on the note because of the curved edges.)

I dunno, hopefully this post makes sense.. lol.

Internal Mem Opt Zone 3

Im having memory issues. I can generally free up 2gig of Internal mem by clearing out the cache and browser cache.

In the last week however. With the caches emptied I cannot get above 1.3 free. So whats up with the 700meg I cant find. Any suggestions. Is there another area in the phone thats a memory hog that I can delete temp files that are taking up space.

Help Different notification sounds for each app?

Is there a way to set different apps to use different Notification sounds?

I have a Galaxy S6 with Android 7.0. And I keep getting notification sounds with no way of knowing which app is alerting me (even after sweeping down from the top of the screen.)

It would be great if I could set a different notification sound for every app so I'd know who/what was trying to reach me simply by the sound (the way I do with different ringtones.)

If this feature does not already exist, it should.

can I add my google account without frp lock?

So I've rooted my phone (samsung galaxy core prime) but if I add a google account, and if I turn off my phone it trips the frp lock. "custom binary blocked by frp lock".

The only way to fix this is to flash the original firmware back on to the phone, which I did and then started the process of rooting again, except this time I haven't added my google account to be safe.

is there any way to add a google account without also turning frp lock on? Thanks.

How to populate database records in spinner

I am using web service. I have a student application. The API returns JSON array containing student Id, FirstName, LastName and Class. In Update section I want that In spinner Students FirstName and LastName must be displayed. When the user selects any student then user should be able to update the fields as required. So how should I display database records in spinner

Code:
public class UpdateActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
        Spinner spinner;
        ArrayAdapter adapter1;
    String url1="http://192.168.1.6/student/web/studentrecords";
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate ( savedInstanceState );
        setContentView ( R.layout.activity_update );
        spinner = (Spinner) findViewById ( R.id.spinner1 );
    }
}

dissapearing albums and photos

Hi all, can anybody help me with disappearing albums and pictures in Gallery (samsung S7)? I've always been very organised with my photos and they're all arranged in relevant albums (over the last 3 years), but as of this week (I did a system update - relevant?) several albums are no longer visible and loads of photos have gone.
I'm aware that all the images are backed up to google,but that doesn't use 'albums' like Samusung gallery.

Any advice greatly appreciated!

Thank

Help Android x86_64 installation issues on optiplex xe

I got an optiplex xe (64bit system) from work when they upgraded their systems. It is a business model that has many features unfamiliar to me such as an advanced bios that even includes mouse support and collapsing tree structure for selecting topics (never seen that before in a bios, granted, my exp is limited in this regard).

I got windows 8 installed just fine (and starts/shutdown unbelievably fast compared to my laptop).

But android x86_64 (ver 6, I don't remember all confectionary names) is giving me problems. The legacy os as well as I've been trying both with identical results.

Several times it would load and stop at terminal command line, and I could look around the file system just fine (about the only thing I remember how to do on the command line without reference material).

But usually, it blinks past the terminal like it would when it loads the gui, but it never succeeds at loading the gui, instead it either is just a black screen or a black screen with an unblinking underscore in the top right corner (it doesn't type nor display any characters from keyboard input)

I've installed 3 different versions of android x86 on my laptop just fine, so I have some minor idea of what I'm doing, and this seems to me like a likely video issue but I can't be certain and this kind of business machine with all the strange built in stuff could be interfering in some way.

Now I've looked up the service tag (gotta love dell service tags), and it seems this machine's built in video card has no integrated video memory. Not sure if that is a problem.

I've set kernal parameter vga=ask and tried various modes to no avail.

The system is pure legacy, no efi boot options (that I can find anyway), and it seems to stick with grub 1 instead of grub 2 (even tnough my live stick uses grub 2 on my laptop), though I'm only guessing that it is grub 1 from the differences in how I access and alter the kernel parameters.

The dell support site simply calls the model OptiPlex XE. (so old that the warranty expired in 2014).

Strangely both harddrives have the same id code even though raid was not set up (though the option was there in the bios). Disconnecting one of the drives doesn't affect my problem and it doesn't seem to have any other impact than to be confusing when selecting a boot device.

I want to use android version 8 later, but my iso disappeared on me so I have to wait till I can download it again (takes like 15 hours on my phone connection then halts from taking too long).

Some details,
64 bit system
Core 2 Duo E7400/ 2.8GHz,3M,1066FSB
2gb ram
dual 150gb hdd
gma 4500 built in graphics
everything is sata
dvd rom
ps2 ports
plenty of usb
boots to usb just fine (is how I installed windows 8)
has a chassis intrusion switch
Broadcom TruManage Systems Management Enabled
Dell Energy Smart Power Management Settings Enabled

Help Settings for Note 8 External Mic

Hi. I've got a Note 8, and a Zoom H5. The H5 is a portable field mic and has USB as well as line-out and headset connections. I would like to figure out what I need to do (and what settings to set) to use my H5 as the Note 8's mic.

I suppose the main question is how to get the Note 8 to use an external mic.

I believe the Note 8's USB connection will be involved in order to have stereo sound, yet I'm not sure. I have an OSG adapter and the H5 has a USB connection. I can't figure out how to make all the settings right.

I have also ordered a "splitter" which separates the mic and a headphone for the phone's headphone jack. I think that will work, yet it will only be mono sound.

(This is the splitter I ordered: StarTech.com 4 Position Microphone and Headphone Splitter – 3.5 mm – 4 Pin / 4 Pole – Mic and Audio Combo Splitter Cable (MUYHSMFFADW) )

Thanks in advance,

drcarl

Note 10 Plus

When I set the Do Not Disturb I only want the alarms to sound off only problem is they do not, no sound and no visual display, only a push pin icon on the lock screen.

SMS folders?

Is there a way to create folders in Messaging app on the phone?

Similar to how one would do with an email account to sort messages.

I have an Aristo 2 running Android version 8.1.0

I saw other posts linking an app but the link was broken.

The apps I found in the play store are not really what I Want as they use cloud technology.

Thanks Mia

I was shocked to see this most of websites had good amount of information regarding me.

Howdy Members,

So I am pro privacy centric users and I use web apps and skim through privacy policy just ot make sure that nothing extra is being recorded about me. I was shocked to find out that some of the websites quoted in this article https://www.purevpn.com/blog/creepy-websites-that-know-everything-about-you/ had good amount of information regarding me. Specially
Family Tree Now,
Data Selfie (the case is different about data selfie as you install it and give the permission to record the data and based on their machine learning they predict this information is kept with Facebook of the user).
and
Predictive World (this is some what similar to Data Selfie. This websites uses data to predict you on Big 5 model it also ask to link Facebook so that it can access the data)

Also, go through the other websites so that you should check and request them to delete the data.
