I just changed my ad unit key from the test key to my real one. On the emulator I get a log message "request sent from test device" and then "App not loaded". That's not surprising on an emulator.

But when I generate an APK and install that on my phone, I get a blank space, no ads loading.

How do I test that REAL ads are working correctly?

All this talk today [in the other thread] led to installing the newest version directly from the Cerberus site. I've now actually gone in to set it up, and I'm left wondering if I should even bother.

Now that Google has provided so much protection, I don't know that Cerberus is still relevant.

For example, thieves will likely find themselves with a shiny, pretty paperweight, what with FRP and all. Hackers would find themselves with none of our personal data since we can remotely wipe them. Thieves and/or hackers may find the law at their door, courtesy of 'find my device.' And so on.

Looking at the permissions and actions Cerberus wants me to approve, like remote wiping, they're basically redundant because of Google.

What do you think? Are there compelling reasons to keep it? In an actual emergency scenario, is one better than the other? Which would you use?

Samsung Gear 3 Frontier

I have backed up the gear via samsung wearable to the cloud but when I go to the cloud the only devices are my mobile and my tablet.

Is there some other separate cloud/account for Gear?

Samsung S8 with Gear 3 Frontier Watch
Part question and maybe part tip for others...

I would have preferred to use 2 different credit cards for one app but in my case it is not possible because of the banks supporting certain apps only.
In my case Canadian Tires "Triangle Master Card" using Google pay and "CIBC" using Samsung pay

So what I did was installed Google Play on the mobile and set it as the default NFC
Then I setup Samsung Pay for the watch using Galaxy Wearable app.

I have not tested it yet but I am guessing all I need to do is tap my phone for one credit card and for the other press and hold button on watch, click on the credit card image and tap...with the odd time having to enter my pin #.
I then went back to the mobile and checked Settings/Connections/NFC/Tap&pay and Google Pay shows that it is still default App.

The simple question is has anyone figured this out or tried it out?

Note that I am aware you can open the according apps before paying but would think and hope this is little more convenient.

I am using a LG STYLO 3 from T-Mobile. The issue I am having is that it will disconnect from my bluetooth devices, (such as a speaker or earpiece), after I answer a call or after make a call. When making a call, I will here the ringing through the earpiece and then it will switch back to either speakerphone or just the internal speaker. My hearing is very poor so I need to get this fixed so I can understand calls better.
Any ideas? :/

In Android 4 & 5 the following code worked perfectly:

It opened a FF instance and navigated the Firefox at the passed url. In Android 6 I am still getting the FF opened, but it does not recognize the passed url and therefore leave the tab clean. How can I pass an url in app start arguments in Android 6?

Hi, 2 days ago I've installed latest update for 1+6 system. After that I cannot login to my google account and google apps (gmail, maps, calendar, keep) work offline in both wifi and LTE mode. I cannot add another google account to this phone (network connection problem). I can login via browser to this gmail with no problem on this phone (so both internet connection and google account works fine). Can you help me with this?

A question about the Gallery app.
It keeps saving tpictures from things I've never seen. They are mainly cartoonish pictures that look like they came from games or ads. Is there any way to keep this from happening? Thanks

I am running Android Studio 3.3.2.

I start a project called myproject. I then exported the project "myproject".

I tried to remove myproject from studio (close/delete). Also I deleted the myproject folder on the filesystem. BUT when I try to import the previous export of "Myproject", it keeps saying "The project file specified already exists." Studio also seems to re-create the folder "myproject" (albeit blank folder contents)

QUESTION: How do I remove a project from studio 3.3.2 such that I can import the project back into studio???

Thank yoU!

I thought this would be an easy one, but I have not yet found an Android client that supports reply-to, and there doesn't seem to be any threads on this forum. Here's what I have:

Company contracts Google to administer email, and turns off Gmail IMAP. I despise web interfaces, so created a new email account and have Gmail forward my company email to that account. This is fine when I'm at my desk, Thunderbird allows me to use reply-to, so I can write mail from my non-company account and replies still go to my company account, forwards to me, system works.

The phone is a different story, of course I can receive and read company mail, but have not found a client yet that has reply-to as an option. Simply using Gmail phone app as a client for company mail directly is not an option, since they have this thing set up through Google where if you create your company account through Gmail app it installs some Google admin crap on your phone which allows the company IT guys access, fine for company phones, but my phone is mine, and that ain't gonna happen. Does anyone know of any client that supports reply-to or plans to include it? I don't want to do some weird workaround, reply-to used to be a common feature, not sure why no one seems to be including it.

My Rii 8 keyboard won't connect to my jetstream tv box. It finds it, connects then drops connection. I have tried factory resets, clearing cache and data from bt apps. Nothing seems to work. I actually got an old netgear android keyboard remote to connect but not the Rii 8. It is the true bluetooth model without the dongle. Has anyone had any success connecting one to android tv? Thanks.

My build.grandle:
I specified reportDir. but when I run the unit test, I don’t see anything in the project folder in the test-results folder, that is, this option does not work, it seems to have to save the results to that folder automatically, and it seems the whole testOptions block does not work. What could be the problem ?

Is there a TV box even more powerful than the Nvidia Shield TV?

I'm a big fan of Persona 5 so I downloaded a messenger app that looks just like the one in the game. It looks great, but the font and display are way too small. I tried going into my settings and changing the font and display size, and while that made the app look great (exactly like in the game!), it made everything else WAY too big. This is what my home screen looks like now, it made my phone look like it belonged to someone going blind.

So is there any way that I can change the font and display size on that specific app to be bigger while still keeping everything else at default size? I already looked through the settings for the app and there isn't an option in there. Thanks in advance!

It has been a long time since the last time I was excited by a TV box. The other day I saw a video on ASBYT's YouTube Channel, introducing the Beelink GT King. I was so intrigued by the design and specs of this device, and decided that I had to get my hands on the box, and here we are.

The Beelink GT King is the latest addition to Beelink's TV box lineup, and it comes with some of the most astonishing specs ever seen in an Android TV box. Not only is it the first TV Box powered by the all new Amlogic S922X chipset, which has a big-LITTLE hexa-core CPU (4 cores of Cortex A73 clocked at 1.8GHz , 2 cores of Cortex-A53 clocked at 1.9GHz ), a beefy Mali-G52MP6 GPU clocked at 846MHz, and uses very advanced 12nm manufacturing process, it also comes with 4GB LPDDR4 RAM, 64GB eMMc storage, HDMI2.1 and a slew of connectivity options.

But what do those specs mean to us average consumers in our day to day use? Do we really need that much horsepower from a TV box? We will try to find out the answer in this review.

Retail Packaging



The Beelink GT King comes with very refined retail packaging, the half-skull on the front of the black box looks extremely cool.





Inside of the packaging we have found the GT King TV box, and some accessories: including an AC Adapter, an HDMI cable, a remote and a user manual. The user manual offers instructions in different languages: English, German, French and Japanese.


Design and build



The GT-King has a very premium and attractive design, definitely one of the best of all Beelink devices. The matte black finish of the shell looks pretty nice, while the highlighted skull on the top side looks identical to the one on the famous Skull Canyon mini PC.



Also on the top side, there's a raised Beelink logo on the top left corner.



The eyes of the skull will light up in green once the box is powered on, giving it a more interesting look.



There're lots of interfaces on the relatively small GT-King. The front plays host to an IR receiver, which works with the stock remote coming with the box.



On the left side, you can find two USB 3.0 ports, which ensure high-speed data transfer between the GT-King and USB-mounted storage such as a portable drive and a flash disk. There is also a MicroSD card slot, which can support cards up to 128GB.



The back side of the box sports an DC-in port, a USB 2.0 port, an HDMI 2.1 port, an Ethernet connector, an SPDIF port, a 3.5mm AV (RJ45) port.



There are 4 very short feet on the bottom side.



The GT-King measures 4.25 x 4.25 x 0.63 inches and weighs 190g, pretty compact even by TV box standards. The build quality is great, as the box looks extremely polished, with no ugly mold lines. It feels pretty sturdy, too.



The supplied remote is predictably lightweight, and feels very well-built as well. The box responds quickly to its commands and the infra-red range are acceptably long and broad. What puzzled me at first was that the infrared remote came with a USB receiver, which seemed quite unnecessary. I then contacted Beelink and they told me that the remote for the GT-King was designed to feature air mouse functionality, but due to the lack of material, they removed this feature from one batch of GT King. Well, I ended up being the unlucky few.


Setting it up



Setting up the Beelink GT-King is as easy as setting up any TV box. Connecting it to a TV set (or projector) via HDMI, plugging in the DC power adapter and you are good to go. After being powered on, a skull will show up on the TV screen, with its eyes blinking in different colors.



The startup is quite fast, as the familiar Beelink homescreen will show up only seconds afterwards.


System & Apps



The Beelink GT-King ships with Android 9.0 Pie, with the very familiar Beelink skin on top. The launcher has everything laid out beautifully and is very easy to navigate. The date and time is located at the top left with the temperature widget below. In the center of the screen you have a link to the media center, internet browser and Google Play Store, There are also shortcuts to "clear memory", app drawer, and settings laying below. To the right is an area where users can pin their favorite apps. Finally, at the bottom left you have shortcuts to power, volume, at the bottom right you have shortcuts to Wi-Fi, Bluetooth.



The navigation bar at the very bottom is defaulted to be hidden, but you can bring it up with a mouse. It has many virtual keys, including a power button, a back button, a home button, a recent apps button, a screenshot key, a volume- button, a volume+ button and a hide-bar button.

I personally think that Beelink should design a skin and some wallpapers more in line with the design of the GT-King, since this is such a special device, but developing something completely different for one device may be costly for such a small operation like Beelink.



The GT-King doesn't come loaded with bloatware, but there are some preinstalled apps. Besides the stock Google Play Store, Chrome, Calculator and Gallery, you can also find Beelink's very own App Store, Bee Files Explorer, Media Center, Movie Player and Bee Music in the app drawer.



The Google Play Store is the normal phone and tablet variant instead of the TV version found on many other Google certified TV boxes. Although there are more apps in the phone-version Play Store, you won't get most of your favorite TV apps here.



Still, you can install the TV version of YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video from Beelink's very own App Store, those apps work better with a remote. If these are still not enough, there's always an option to directly install the apk files of the apps you want.

One thing we need to mention is that the GT-King runs on the 32-bit version of Android 9 Pie. There are a few apps which won't run properly on the device, but it is not really a concern for the majority of TV box users.

How much do they charge for replacing the battery of s7 edge. And will the phone still have ip68 protection after the replacement?

I have a signed api and I just pushed an update to it. Still not play store. It works just fine on the emulators, but on my phone it keeps crashing. (Just A Map keeps stopping)

I changed very little since the last version: added an image for a splash screen background (it's a style background so it only shows during startup) and moved a few things around. The big change is the image, but it displays that just fine, and moves on to the next activity before it crashes.

How can I find out what is breaking?

My device was accidently formated because of a missread i clicked wipe in twerp and it formated it while trying to format the cache it wiped everything exepet the files how can i recover it all to be like it was before?

"custom mobile operating system" like emui - MIUI

I am creating an app in which I have to play audio from a number of URL links. At the first ever run of the app I am providing user the option of either downloading all of the audio files at once. Right now I am downloading each URL individually using Async Task. The problem with this approach is that since I have some 6000 url links for audio files it takes very long.

My questions is that is there any way I can quickly download audio files from these 6000 urls or any better approach of handling downloads.

Below I am also providing the code that I am using for downloading each url.

I have the Note 9 with magisk latest the only problem I have is that my WiFi has a exclamation mark next to it and I don't get any connection. I only have WiFi on not mobile data.
