Help transfering to new 3xl, warranty replacement

So I am kinda tech savvy...
My old 3xl has a wonky port, so they sent me a replacement..

First I did whatever 'transfer from old to new phone' stuff the new phone wanted to do...
Then I cut and pasted all folders from old phone, to PC, then onto new phone
THEN I used Helium to back up "53" apps to my google drive, which it ended up doing only 30- no idea why..
SMS back n restore...
comparing phones side by side, pretty much identical in the app drawer, most apps appear to have moved over with their data...looks like all my music, texts, pics etc....
I am almost ready to wipe old phone BUT.
using the pc to look into the phones, old phone has 14 Gb available, new phone...29
what the hell have I missed in copying over my stuff?!?!?!?!?!?

entering settings,storage.. Old phone used 40.96/64gb new phone using 32.67/64
I "lost" 8gb of stuff?

LG Tribute 5 - Stuck on lock screen, random apps open by themselves

Please help. I just received a refurbished LG Tribute 5 from TextNow. Did not root or uninstall factory apps. I called myself from another phone to test the signal (signal was great). When I unlocked the phone, it was stuck on the lock screen showing 1 missed call (my test call). Couldn't unlock or even shutdown with power button. I had to pull the battery. Did this 2 times then I was able to unlock. After that random apps started opening and then the phone froze again. I pulled the battery and the same thing keeps happening.

Has anyone ever heard of this happening? How do I fix this? I just spent a long time on this phone and would hate to have to send it back for either exchange or refund (but will if no other choice).

Please help & thanks.

Pixel 2 XL OTG not working after Dev. Option changes

Hello all, I recently dug into my Developer Options menu to try and speed up my Google Pixel 2 XL by turning off all animations, and I may have inadvertently made another change that has caused a different problem...... I have a small Go-Pro style camera that I used to be able to connect to my Pixel 2 XL thru the USB-C (OTG style) cable. I just did this as recently as a week ago .... same cable, same OTG adapter (the one that came with my Pixel), same camera...... but now when I plug it in is just says it is charging the camera, no data transfer is available.

Tried a few different cables, even tried a different OTG adapter.

I did some research, and went back and made sure USB Debugging was turned on. Then I made sure the default USB Configuration was set to "File Transfer".

After that didn't work, I tried to clear the cache & data from the "External Storage" and "Media Storage". I then cleared the cache & data on the "Settings" app. I also reset all APP Preferences....... but I'm still not having any luck.

Also I used to be able to plug my Pixel 2 XL in to my PixelBook (Chromebook?) and it would transfer data, but no such notification now when I plug the two together.

Any other advice I can try? I was thinking of maybe upgrading this phone soon, since it's a year and a half old, but if I can't transfer any data, I can't retrieve any files or pics off this phone, so I'm beginning to get very nervous.

Thanks for any help or ideas you may have, I'm willing to try anything at this point.

Increase phone display refresh rate by lowering resolution?

Hello. I seen that computer display refresh rate can be increased at cost of resolution. Is same possible with phones? Most phones still use 60hz displays but that is not enough. Since these days phones come with ridiculously large resolutions up to 4K I would be happy with 720p but with high refresh rate such as 120-240hz. There is course Razer phone with 120hz refresh rate. But I would prefer other phones with Android OS.

Dan's Introduction

Hello,

My android history is: last year I decided to port my app Sky Tripping from iOS to android so I bought a Samsung Galaxy S8. (If you like beautiful drone films for relaxation you can get the app here: https://android.skytrip.app).

Soon I'm upgrading to a Google Pixel 3. I know the 4 will likely be released in the fall but there won't be great deals on it for a while so I'm saving some money with the 3.

How far back should I provide support?

Hi All,

I recently complete development of my first app in the google play store but it doesn't run on my partner's galaxy s6. Should I work to support a phone that old? Maybe it's not the phone or the age, maybe it is something else? Care to kick the tires on this relaxation app?

Let me know if it does or doesn't run on your android device, thanks in advance!

Does Google allow real money payouts? App owner>>user

Hi all

I am looking to invest into purchasing a few apps from Flipper and interested in a slots game and a win dollars games.

I want to know if Google allows real money payouts as the win dollars game is a simple spin the wheel to win credits, once a specific number of credits has been won the user can exchange credits for dollars, minimum $100 to their PayPal. Is this allowed?
As I have two developers saying contradictory things, one says yes and the other says no, that app will be banned. Who is right?

These apps are not cheap so want to make sure before committing to buy.

Also, with regards to the slots game, revenue is created via admob. As this is run by Google should all the ads be allowable ads?
I just read about some ads that are prohibited when relating to casino content, and as slots is a casino game I assume a lot of the ads generated are going to be casino related.

I am not an app developer, just an app investor. Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Help SCREEN NOT RESPONDING AT TIMES

Hi everyone.
I have an issue where sometimes when I go to swipe the screen it does respond until I take my finger off and swipe again. It happens enough that it can be annoying. Has anyone else here had this problem and is there a fix or is this a warranty issue? Also, phone has been sluggish, clearing App caches or re-booting does not help Totaly appreciate any help you can give.

first thoughts on my new to me pix2

hi guys,

so after my battery and os updates dramas :D ... thought i post some thoughts about my almost new pix2

....i like it! :) ... yup .... mainly as v nice to hold as smaller (sony premium is a beast!) ... and the speakers are better for audio books i find (which i like)

it has a pleasant feel when using it i think

...might have to consider a fresh battery ...maybe ... see how the charge cycle stats go

plus might have a bash at that screen anti grease coating stuff

cheers

Old-school Snake

Hi!

We'd like to present you this simple game inspired by legendary Snake. You're playing as snake and you have to move around the arena and eat food. For every food snake eats, it grows in size. When snake hits a wall, barricade or itself it dies.

In comparison to the classical version we added two special treats that can be eaten. Each guarantees a different ability.

The snake is really hungry, so he moves faster and faster with every move. Write us how many points did you get. Current best is 46 :D

I Need Help With Android Programming

Hello friends. I'm using Android Studio. I'm in the process of learning. My English is not very good. I translate with Google Translate. Now I have a question for you. I want to develop a trial app. Only a date will be entered when the application is first opened. For example, 1/1/2020 date. But only this. When the date 1/1/2020 is entered, it will be switched to another interface. Here will enter a name that I have already set. A name like Tom. If the tom name is entered, the system will accept the name correctly and a new interface will be opened. In here video will be played. When the video is finished it will automatically switch to a new screen. How do I make this application? Please help. I have to finish by August 16th. I said my English wasn't very good Please write in a way that I understand when translating with Google Translate. Thank you for your support. Greetings from Turkey.

RecyclerView Scroll Listener

Hi friends I will hide the header contained in the recyclerView according to the scrolling level and make it visible. But I couldn't find a listener I could use for this.
The setOnScrollChangeListener method always returns 0.0.
The addOnScrollListener method returns acceleration-sensitive dx and dy values.
I think I need to process the RecyclerView according to the alignment of the y values. Any suggestions?

Hiding root status is safe or not?

The mobile banking apps couldn't be downloaded to rooted devices. So some apps like Magisk Manager will help to hide the root status from those apps and download it anyway. I would like to know this method is safe or not? Because they restricted the rooted devices for a reason. Even though its ability to hide it from the app its couldn't change the fact that it is a rooted device.

So can someone please explain to me this situation?
