Hi all. First-time thread starter to this forum and I need a lot of help. So basically about 3 days ago I created a voice recorder file on my phone. I have created thousands before and this one saved to my phone with no problem. It's a file of me singing and of lyrics for a specific song I am writing, I will call it "File A." The next day I listened to it and upon realizing I wanted to develop some of the ideas on the file, I recorded another file of me playing guitar and singing. When I finished recording the second file, which I will call "File B," I decided to rename it to the same name as the what File A is named since it is going to be the same song. See but If anyone has used voice recorder before they will know that voice recorder will stop you from naming a file the same thing as another file. But this time voice recorder did not do this and the rename menu was allowed to leave and it when back to the normal voice recorder list screen. But upon looking at the voice recorder list I saw that File B's name hadn't been changed and was still Voice 594. I tried to rename it again, and upon remembering that a file cannot have the same name as another file, this time to something similar to File A's name. Again, though, File B's name stayed as Voice 594. Upon seeing that it still had not renamed, I decided to close the app, which I know now was a big mistake. File A, which was of me singing and of lyrics, deleted. After seeing how it had deleted, I went through My Files and searched for it to see if it was hidden somewhere but sadly it was not. I then restarted my phone to see if that would help and after that reset app settings. Sadly they both didn't work and the file was still missing. I learned online that I should run file recovery software on the sd card that my voice recorder files were saved to and see if that helps. Sadly all of the 3 file recovery software I used on my sd card all froze in the middle of checking the sd card. I am pretty sure this is because the sd card has bad sectors or partitions in it and upon putting it through a diagnostic tool, many errors and red marks popped up when diagnosing the sd card. After that, I copied the Lost.DIR folder onto my computer and the voice recorder folder onto my computer and ran file recovery software on them both. They finished but when they did, they did not contain the file I was looking for.

That's pretty much all that has happened since I found out the file was missing. I recorded the file in the afternoon of the 25th, it deleted in the early afternoon of the 26th and I haven't been using my sd card for anything but running file recovery software on since the 26th. What should I do or have I done everything I can? Would really like this file back. Thanks in advance.

look i'm all for the right to bear arms, but i'm tired of these shootings. i do not want to take your guns away, but we need to more control on who gets guns. we need strict control on where you can get it.

my heart goes out to those terrorized and for those who lost someone at the Garlic Festival in Gilroy.

BUT SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE!!!!!!!

i say death to the NRA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Back in the day [when I was staff], we tossed around thoughts on old threads and the wisdom, or lack thereof, of leaving them open for new activity. I thought they should be closed.

My reason then was the same as now: new members reply to a 7-year-old thread, thinking they're offering helpful info, until someone comes along and tells them it's from 7 years ago. Or 4 or 9; you get the idea.

When I'm the someone who enlightens the newbie, I try to be polite and 'ha ha, it's okay!' upbeat. But why don't we just lock threads that are >X years old AND have had no activity for Y years? Or some other criteria.

Even if someone thinks they have the same problem as the OP, the truth is...probably not. They're 5 Android versions newer on 8 year newer hardware. What are the odds it's exactly the same issue, with the same solution [if there was one]?

Thoughts?

After unlock note8 phone, I rotate phone to landscape and I see the usual 5 icons: phone, message, internet, playstore, camera. Phone still in landscape, I swipe up and then swipe left/right and cannot see all the app icons, about 10 to 20 app icons missing.

When the phone is portrait, I swipe up and I can see all app icons.

Do you experience the same thing? Why lesser app icons is shown when phone is landscape? What is the problem with my phone?

Thanks

Can I operate the spinner with the hard key? I want to use the hard key to change the spinner's options.

E.g, I would like to use the key KEYCODE_3 to move down the Spinner's items one space at a time and then reflect that item when I press the Select key.

I need help from someone. See, I've recorded an audio with my phone and surely saved it afterwards. Played back and the whole thing seemed muted. I tried recording again and the voice is back. Is there any way or explanation why the previous recording does not contain any sound? Not even background noises? This does not make sense and I feel super frustrated coz the whole recording is important to me..=( Note: - No earphones are attached during recording. -Bluetooth is off while recording - Tried looking some buttons that I might have pressed or muted but there are none. I'd totally appreciate it if there is someone out there who knows how to fix this.. thanks. P.S. I've noticed that the file is saved in amr format. Tried converting but still to no avail.

Wouldnt it be cool for GR OS to get ported to the Nintendo Switch?

Anyone know is Galaxy j3 for straight talk is getting pie?

Just upgraded from a Galaxy S8 to an S10. We bought several extended USB cables for our S8, however when I try to use these to charge the S10, I get a message saying to check the connection. Obviously no problems when I use the cable that came with the phone. I thought they were the same, so I'm confused about the message.

Is there a way to set fingerprint preferences where I don't have to scan my prints if I'm at home or some other trusted location?

Thanks!

I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 with about 64 GB of photos.
I am unable to transfer them to Windows 10 in USB 3.0 transfer mode.
Steps I'm taking:
1) I put the Galaxy S5 in USB 3.0 mode (it only lasts 5 minutes then cancels out of USB 3.0 mode)
2) From Windows Explorer in Win 10, I copy and paste the Camera folder
3) Windows Explorer begins calculating the time to copy files
4) The Galaxy S5 waits 5 minutes, sees no data transfer, and drops out of USB 3.0 transfer mode
5) Windows Explorer copy, then fails, because phone disconnects USB and re-connects in 2.0 mode

USB 2.0 transfer mode takes HOURS longer for 64 GB of photos.
Is there a way to increase the timeout or prevent the USB 3.0 transfer mode timeout on the Samsung Galaxy S5?
Or is there a way to prevent Windows Explorer from calculating time to copy (which takes longer than 5 minutes)?

If this isn't an appropriate forum please direct me appropriately.

It seems to me that the development part is the easier part of the equation - when you have an app, how do you get out word for people to use it? I'm thinking that simply putting it on the Play store isn't going to get a lot of attention. Do you advertise? Word of mouth? etc. - just wondering what approaches you've seen that worked.

Is it worth getting google fi?

Hi all,
I just made the switch from the Apple ecosystem to my brand new ceramic white S10+ beauty. I got a screen protector from T-Mobile, but the texture is a little weird (it's not a tempured glass one), and I was wondering what was the best kind of screen protector out there. I've read many have fingerprint sensor issues, so not really sure what route to go.

Hi, Can anyone help with an app that has a GPS trip odometer that can be reset, also shows on the same screen, the current time with seconds and a stopwatch. It must not (and cannot under any settings) show average speed or any maps please? Many Thanks

Can anyone shed some light please? I've been trying to find out what networking protocols (e.g. WPA, WPA2) and encryption standards (e.g. AES/CCMP, TKIP) are actually in active use on some Android devices.

Firstly, all my Android devices are running on either 5.1 or 5.1.1.

My router's WiFi is set-up to be “WPA2 only” (there is not an option to specify the encryption algorithm).

I also have a WiFi extender (a Tenda A9) which does not have any facility to select any standards. The manufacturer's website states “WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK” and “TKIP algorithm”. Contradictorily, the PDF user guide downloaded from the site states "Mixed WPA/WPA2-PSK, AES to encrypt the WiFi network that ensures the security. Be compatible with the uplink device’s WiFi encryption type: None, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK and Mixed WPA/WPA2-PSK" [sic].

I've installed WiFiAnalyzer (open source) from VREM Software Development on the Android devices (I tried various similar apps and this one seemed to give the most comprehensive info).

For the router (regardless of whether connected to the router or the extender) WiFiAnaylzer reported “[WPA2-PSK-CCMP][ESS]”

For the extender (regardless of whether connected to the router or the extender) WiFiAnaylzer reported “[WPA-PSK-CCMP][WPA2-PSK-CCMP][ESS]”. This suggests the manufacturer's website is wrong (and so the user manual is right) – and I would hope that if the extender uses CCMP(AES) for the downlink side, it would also use it for the uplink side (if the router supports it).

But to confound matters, on the Android devices (for the status of the currently active WiFi connection under Settings, WiFi) the following is shown:

I can't find anywhere on the Android devices that show the encryption algorithm in use (e.g. TKIP, AES/CCMP).

It is worth noting that all my Windows laptops (Win7, Win10 and even WinXP) are set-up to connect with WPA2-PSK with AES and they connect quite happily to the router and the extender.

So, is there any way to establish the encryption algorithm in use on Android (esp. 5.1 / 5.1.1)? This also begs the question as to what standards does Android even support (e.g. is TKIP sufficiently deprecated that Android does not support it all)?

And any views on the “anomalies” between what WiFiAnalyzer reports and the information from Android's own WiFi connection status screen?

Thanks in advance,

Hello!
I ran into a big problem. I want to upload applications to google play. But all my applications do not contain a single image. This is not very good, because applications with pictures are downloaded 10 times more. At first I wanted to download images from pixabay, but they told me that they would ban me if I did that.
They explained to me that I must either use paid images or my own. Since my apps are free, I have no money for paid images.
I began to learn drawing. And I can't draw. I take drawing tools in GIMP / Paint and I don’t know what to do with them. It does not even come out to repeat the lessons. Everything turns out wrong.
I lack imagination, and it is very difficult to draw pictures with a mouse.
I don’t have the money to buy Adobe Photoshop. I do not know what the matter is, but I have not found a single crack of the new version of Photoshop. Previously, there were many. Even in the Russian forums I am banned and refuse to send me a crack.
I don't know what to do, I'm depressed. I sat behind these drawing lessons for a long time. But I can't do anything.
What should I do?

Anyone else using Plex as a media server?
I've been using it for years off a PC, but looking to switch to a NAS connection with 2 TB storage, so that my pc doesn't have to be on all the time.

Write your choice of a smart watch and why?

Hey guys is there a way to get the reminders to pop up as a notification at the time you set it too like on the iPhone? If tried more than once to set on I selected the time and double check notification settings for the app and it still doesn't pop up... Not really much of a reminder if you have to go in the app Everytime to check what you wrote down.. I would just like a notification of what I need to remember at the time I set.. thanks!!!

Hi, I can not see the Description of my Pins down under each pin of my Boards. I could see then before but not now anymore. Thanks for any suggestion!.

I have another big problem. I dial the SavedStateHandle and press alt+enter, I see only one useless item and nothing more!
I registered it in dependencies and synchronized gradle:
But it did not help. In general, nothing helps as if this class does not exist at all! Help

With the charger and charging treasure, when you borrow a circle of charging lines with people around you and find that it is not the interface you want, it is very embarrassing.
Maybe you will ask: Why can't all mobile phone charging interfaces be unified?

For some reason I lost all my google photos from a certain day which happens to be the day of my daughter's wedding

Kind of a strange issue: any time I try to open any app on my phone, my phone immediately returns to the first page of my home screen. I can't open the options, make calls or text, or even scroll to the second page of my home screen- it just immediately returns to the first page of home. Interestingly, I can access the drop-down menu, but if I pick any setting and tap on "more settings" or click the gear to access the options I just get immediately sent back to the home screen. Prior to this issue occurring, I had just updated my eset security app, so I have a feeling that it's somehow responsible, but I'm not sure how to test this hypothesis or fix the issue.

Also, when I try to uninstall the eset app, the dialog asking for confirmation immediately closes
