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!

Help [SOLVED] How to add icon/shortcut for embedded app?

When accessing a file, I was prompted for which app to use to open it. In the list was SE Text Editor. Hmmm, I said to myself, I don't have an app by that name; a quick glance at my installed apps confirmed this.

I eventually figured out that that text editor--which I like--is a part of Solid Explorer. Further detective work yielded numerous hidden components, both in SE and other apps.

I want to put icons/app shortcuts for some of these hidden components in my app drawer or on a desktop. But how?

On Linux proper, I could do this in my sleep, standing on my head. :o But how's it done on Android? :thinking:

Hi everyone, I just Pre-ordered my Samsung Galaxy Note 10+. T-Mobile. Looking forward to getting it! I have a question, since the phone does not come with a headphone jack (I'm disappointed), can anyone recommend an adapter where I can charge my phone and listen the music at the same time? Like a
USB C to 3.5mm Headphone Adapter, 2 in 1 Audio Adapter and Fast Charging Dongle Compatible for the the Note 10+ . Can anyone help please? Thank you.

Galixy s9 whacky!

Hello, Need some help here on my wife's phone. We both have identical phones purchased through sprint at the same time. She is currently is experiencing several problems. They may be related. First her home screen is showing what appears to be two screens at once..not icons as display over, but the whole screens. This includes the top info headers. One seems to be offset from the other slightly witch creates a sorta shading or double vision effect. None of the icons (including the app.launcher) of which there are two showing are active..they don't respond to touch.
Second, when I try to connect her phone to our Roku so as to view youtube videos on our TV, it connects, but only audio is present.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Help iTunes Equivalent for Android Devices?

Hi,

I've scoured sites before, asked on a few forums, and have tried a few programs, but I have yet to discover an iTunes-like alternative, for Android devices.

Right now, I'm having to manually identify & copy tracks across myself, which as you can imagine, is frustratingly tedious!

Basically what I need is;

1) Something that will automatically sync new music to my phone, when I connect it to my PC.
(doesn't need to do it the instant it's plugged in, but at least has a "sync" button I can press, to automatically identify & copy across new music)

2) The ability to select what music is synced to the phone.
(i.e. - rather than copying every audio file on your PC, it allows you to select 1/multiple specific folders to sync. Or, it allows you sync only specific artists, like iTunes does)

Please let me know if there's any program out there that can do this.

Thanks

Do you know about this app?

I found a guy recently who is using an app which is like a personal blog, he posts some content and everyone who has installed this app can view the content.
There are options like 'Who am i', 'Messages' included within the app.

The name of the app is Private Blog, with a yellow money bag icon. The icon changes in the notification bar to a blue thunder symbol. This isn't available on the play store either. Tried Google, haven't found a single clue.

How did i find this in the first place? It was through a sponsored Instagram, swiping up on the story downloaded the app and i installed it to see what it was.

What i wanna know is if this app is custom made or available for public use. Like it has a dashboard where you post stuff from and receive messages too.
Or it is a simple blog which was made into an app using web view

Startup error

Hello. I decided to write a small android application. Created an HTML file, and two folders with resources to it. It works well. I tried to create an apk file based on it using android studio. And when I run this apk on my phone, I see "Error: no valid storage adapters found". What could I do wrong? I know that there is little information, if something is needed - say, I will add. Help me please.

Privacy Android

Hi, I'm a girl obsessed with privacy, I have an s10 + but without a gmail account, I navigate with TOR, orbot, I don't have social networks, but I don't really like it, since many applications have many permissions that I don't like, I would like Know if there is a way to install a more secure modified Android operating system, or if there is some type of application to configure privacy. I also have a Huawei p9lite that I can not do the bootloader to root, is there any way to get it? because if I could root the p9 maybe there I could play better with privacy. Thank you

Intro - MythuSiva

Hey everyone!

I'm a senior backend developer with over 10 years of experience.
Although I've played with mobile app development, I often found myself enjoying the backend more.

So why am I here?
If I love the backend, then I'm sure some of you might hate it!
I'm thinking maybe I can offer some of my experience to help you build apps easier.
I can do that by answering questions, building APIs for you, ...

Hope to see chat in the threads, cheers!
