Micro SD Cards - Speed & Capacity

Since purchasing my S10+ (512GB) I have tested out a small variety of MicroSD cards that I had on hand. The MicroSD card that stood out is the Samsung Evo Pro Plus 512GB. I ran several Benchmark Tests and bottom line, the Evo Pro beat them all to include a SanDisk Ultra.


Has anyone added a 1TB card to thier Samsung S10? I would love to do so, but the cost for a good 1TB MicroSD is just to high at the moment (€499++/$550±). I'm curious IF anyone has tested this configuration and if so - what type of Benchmark results were rendered.

Thanks,

Mike H

Accessories Note 10/10+ accessories

so besides cases and screen protectors, are you gonna buy anything specific for your new note 10/10+?

i'm currently looking for a care mount. my thing is that i do not want a magnetic car mount as i would then need a mag strip on my case. i'm getting a clear case to show off the aurora glow color of my phone. and by adding a mag strip will just cover it up.

so i guess i'm looking for a cradle type car mount. i like the iottie, but i found that my note 8 could not get wirelessly charged because of the foot on the cradle made the phone sit too high and would not hit that sweet spot for charging. i had to saw the foot off to get it right. the suction finally failed so now i need to look for one that works for the note 10+. there is only one that i found on amazon that actually says it is compatible with the note10+ but it does not do wireless charging and it is magnetic.

with my samsung credit i might buy me some samsung buds......not sure yet. what are you gonna get for your phone?

MESSAGE APP FAILS CONTINUALLY

Device is Droid Maxx 2:
My Message App is failing repeatedly, within seconds each time. I've powered off/on, done a reset, not a recovery, removed the last three apps I've uploaded, ran Norton systems check, emptied storage cache, cleared history, but the only thing that allows me the freedom to use the device now is to Force Stop on the Message App. It was downloaded from Google Play and is their app.

Lost phone

I had a Samsung Galaxy S10 that was stolen. I bought it a couple months ago. I think the person who stole it, wiped the information on the phone but I was told by a samsung representative that the person cannot use the phone unless the person has one of my email details that was previously signed in on the phone. I am hoping that there is someone out there who can track my phone using the IMEI code (no IMEI tracker app was installed) . Or if someone can track the location where it was last used at ( I was calling my number when I realized it was lost) so if someone was able to track where the number was last ringing at, I will be able to prove that the person stole my phone and hopefully they will return it. I am so desperate to find my phone but this person is reluctant to admitting that she stole the phone and there is so many valuable information on my phone. I had almost my whole life planned out in detail in that phone. I wish there was some way I can just the information even if I don't get back the phone but my files weren't backed up. Please please please someone please help me track it. I will compensate you for your time if necessary..I'm desperate for.some help.

Phone settings resetting to default after restart

Samsung Galaxy S6 (SM-G920T)
Android 7.0

Starting about a month ago, whenever I restart my phone, certain phone settings reset to the default settings. These are some of the settings I notice resetting:

- Pull-down menu buttons
- Sounds and vibration
- Notifications
- Display

There are likely more; these are just the ones that are obvious to me. App settings seem to be fine.

Any ideas what the cause could be? I've investigated if it might be something with recently installed apps but that doesn't seem to be the case.

renaming package (containing MainActivity.java)

I've been playing with JNI and NDK for a couple of weeks and had some success but also a lot of confusion.

I basically downloaded the mandelbrot explorer (open source) from this developers site:
https://dmitrybrant.com/software-for-android

I got it working in android studio and have been able to use the ndk to compile c++ code successfully.

The problem is when I upload this modified code to my phone it always overwrites the original mandelbrot set app I downloaded from the playstore.

I've tried creating a project from fresh and copying over the relevent files/folders, but every time it fails at the System.loadLibrary(...) statement.

Now I've just been trying to rename the package, I do this, then click the button that makes the changes elsewhere in the code, but then that same error comes up again.
If I rename the package to its original value and click the button to make the changes, the app works normally again.

Its frustrating, I can't keep using a modified version of someone elses project, there has to be a solution.
Please let me know if you know how I can change the package name and still have it work.

Thanks.

WiFi Connection Issue

Hello all,

I have been having some significant issues with connecting to WiFi networks, specifically those in public spaces that require a popup menu to connect to the network (eg connecting to the hospital WiFi requires selecting "I agree" to a privacy statement before connecting). I have no trouble connecting with my laptop, but these menus never pop up on my phone, preventing me from signing in. Has anyone had this issue and found a solution?

Thank you sincerely for any help you can provide!

Mysterious Outgoing Calls

I was looking at my call call history and filtered to: Recents > Calls to Show > Outgoing Calls

In my recent outgoing calls, there are several calls to a contact whom I do *not* regularly call. These calls are happening unbeknownst to me. In other words, something is making the call - I physically am not.

What could be causing mysterious outgoing calls from my phone? Hacked? Software error?

This happens with only this same contact and has been going on for some time...

Fix Windexed tv screen

I got a uaed tv set from a friend. It works great (thank goodness something does) except that there is a vertical white bar near the center of the screen. I was told this is probably because it got cleaned too much with Windex. Is there any way to fix it, especially cheap and/or easy?

Firmware for Samsung Galaxy J337U 2018

Hello all,

I think I soft bricked my Samsung Galaxy J337U (2018) when I tried to flash it with a wrong TWRP I guess and I am trying to find the firmware to flash it with Odin. I have been searching the internet and I couldn't find it. Flashing it with Odin is the only way to revive my phone I think because I can only open it up on the phone.

What will you do when you couldn't find the firmware that you want?

Wanted: Hardcore MMORPG with real content!

Need some help. Been struggling for years, now...
I'm looking for a QUALITY MMORPG with deep character customization. Requirements, you ask? I have one or two...
- No energy/stamina that requires time to fill. I want a hardcore, not casual, game.
- Minimal graphics. Nothing that runs too heavy on resources, and lacks real imagination. Retro graphics, or even text-based works!
- Fantasy-themed... Dragons, elves, magic, undead, swords, etc...
- Addictive! Not like sugar, but like crack.
- Large and consistent, or small and growing, community.
- Must have PvP. I wanna compete against humans, not poorly made AI....
Can anyone throw me some ideas? I'll join your guild, PK your enemies, whatever... Just help me out, here. Any, and I mean any, help, is appreciated. Thank you, in advance.

Is Europe (UK,etc) just as

''Sensitive'' as USA has gotten over the past 20 years with too much Political Correctness ? I mean the Country is divided with the Stars and Bars of the Southern flag because it is ''Racist''. PEOPLE are racist, not inanimate objects. Removing historical statues and such of the Civil Era too. Christians don't go around boycotting apple growers and places that sell apples because of the whole ''Adam and Eve'' issue.
Does your Country think USA's cheese done slid off it's cracker ? Has USA gone too soft ?
Won't be long till Mount Rushmore will be erased because it may offend just a few.

Help Bootloop after Reinstalling & Updating SuperSU

Hey Everyone,

(Device: OnePlus 3
Android: 8.0.0)

today i tried to uninstall SuperSU manually (yeah, this was not the right way) to make way for magisk - my banking app isn´t working anymore so i tried to hide the root from it. I read some article on the internet that i have to uninstall supersu before i can use magisk - made sense to me, because you only need one for rooted devices. I did the uninstall, but i wasn´t still able to install magisk. So i reinstalled SuperSU.

After the Reinstallation the App asked me to update the App and reboot - for sure, lets do this.

Bootloop.

the last two hours i tried to figure out how to solve the bootloop. I´m able to get into twrp (3.3.1) and the connection with my PC is stable, i can see all the data. First of all, I installed the Supersu 2.82 zip because i thought its that simple, but it didn´t worked. So i installed the Supersu 2.79 to get back to the start. Bootloop is still there. At last I did the factory reset wipe (data, cache and dalvik) and tried again to install the supersu 2.79 version. Still Bootloop.

Last chance i see is the mega unbrick guide for OP3 (https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/...vXbYndoY0-3df5FZcf2s-S9nsZ__0Ek-uPTdq4Fs8Oy5s) but i prefer another way, because the device isn´t completly damaged (i think....)

It would be great to know some way to stop the loop! Thanks in Advance.

Gray screen app keeps popping up

Today I had the same app open numerous times and noticed the screen went gray. So I just hit the back button on my phone (LG v30+) and it disappears going back to my game. Since it was the only app I was using throughout the day I just figured the app was having issues. Later when switching between messenger and that same app I notice an app on my list called Stories is open, with a gray screen. Then I notice this apps icon was that of the app 'coin flip free'. This happened a few more times throughout the night. I deleted coin flip free. Sure enough as you'll see in the file I'm sharing, it isn't done happening. This time using Facebook as the name, as Facebook is loaded. Can anyone tell me if they've heard of this happening or why its happening? I've seen no reviews of the app with this issue other than my own but, will continue to scroll through them. In the meantime I'd appreciate any help.

Side note. The fact it shows I'm typing this in Gmail is unrelated. That's due to me going straight to writing this after clicking confirmation.

Thanks in advance!

I just seen into another thread of app breakage over a phone more then three years,
I am getting my head wrapped around it, so when and if I do consider of getting a brand new phone due to app breakage, wouldn't it seem more different and aimed at the right target? Or should I just keep my moto z2 force? It just softwear updated itself eariler last evening.
