Hi everybody.

I don't see any post yet for the XA2 Ultra.

My question: Anybody was able to RE-LOCK the bootloader without reinstalling the whole firmware?

Thanks.

I'm trying to add a floating label to one of my EditTexts .

I have added the dependency

implementation 'com.android.support:design:28.0.0'

And then I wrapped the EditText with a TextInputLayout and changed the EditText to TextInputEditText

Code:

    <android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content">

        <android.support.design.widget.TextInputEditText
            android:id="@+id/editName"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:hint="@string/text_name"
            android:inputType="textPersonName" />

    </android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>

But when I run that layout the app crashes.

The first few lines of the error log are:

Code:

Hello .... I ported over my old number and my LG G6 now responds to the ported-over number fine, however, the 'My Number' setting on the LG still shows a number that Freedom Mobile initially assigned to me. Shouldn't this 'My Number' setting change automatically to the ported-over number? Or does anyone know how to correct this, thanks

Hello guys!

I have an issue with locked screen notifications.
When my screen is unlocked i receive notifications with no issues but as soon as the screen is locked i don't receive any notifications or even hear a sound if i received any message from any app, for example WhatsApp is working fine when screen is unlocked but when it's locked i don't get any notifications.

Android system: Lollipop 5.1
Phone model: Philips Xenium V787

I've tried the following solutions but none of them worked out:
- Settings> Sound & notification> Notification> When device is locked> Checked "Show all notification content".
- Checked app notifications in phone settings.
- Advanced Wi-Fi> Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep> Checked "Always"
- Reset WhatsApp notifications.
- Reinstalling WhatsApp.
- Cleared partition cache from recovery mode.

What I've noticed is that Gmail notifications work fine, even when screen is locked i still hear a notifications sound whenever i receive an email but for the rest of the apps, i don't receive any notifications at all unless the screen is unlocked or the app is opened.

Would appreciate your suggestions to solve this issue.

Thanks in advance.

I just upgrade to android 9 and its missing an important function to set different sounds for gmail and text. I've always been able to set a different sound notification for my gmail and one for my texts. I can't find this option in android 9. Did they remove this.

How can this be done in Android 9?

Hello everyone. I'm a photographer and I usually send photos via txt msg to people. I've been very bad at deleting the message afterwards. So now I have a bunch of images taking up space on my phone that aren't even in my gallery but stuck in sent or receive messages. I could erase all of them, but I have some important text msgs lost in there.

Do anyone know of an app that can show all mgs with images and show the amt of space those messages contain? I once installed an app that did this but for some reason it's not in my history from the store.

Hi everyone,
every time I use facial recognition to unlock my phone, it then asked me to swipe up to unlock the home screen. Is there a way to use facial recognition to unlock right to the home screen and get rid of the swipe up step?
Thank you in advance for your help

Is there a way to check the number of rows that a SQLite query has affected? For instance on delete I want to be able to report that No, 1, 2 etc records were deleted.

I've looked at try ... catch ... but that just tells me the query ran, not how many records (if any) were deleted.

Device: UMIDIGI Z2
Version: Android 8.1.0

The fingerprint option works well for a year.
Suddenly stop working.
When I tap in the Fingerprint option in the Settings the phone do nothing, so I can't enter a new fingerprint or test the fingerprint sensor.

I tried to root my phone using the method in the following link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a30/how-to/root-galaxy-a30-magisk-canary-relaese-t3936481 and at first it worked. Then a few minutes later when checking for root, my phone was suddenly no longer rooted.

I then tried to open Magisk Canary, but that caused my phone to keep rebooting.

I went into recovery mode, formatted and then tried to root again.

Now my phone is stuck in download mode (I cannot restart, if I try it just goes back) and has a message saying... Downloading... Do not turn off target. There is a message in red saying Error Validating footer. (6).

Does anybody know how to fix this?

unseeingdog · Jul 25, 2019

Hey guys,

I'm trying to make a tough choice here and wanted to ask for your advice. I've been using a J7 2015 for a bit over 3 years now, and the phone works completely fine. Bit slow sometimes, but no biggie. But I have a friend who recently broke the screen on her A7 2017 and she told me I can keep it if I get it fixed. The outer glass itself seems to be intact, the only thing that broke seems to be the inner LCD screen. I took it to a shop and they told me they would fix it for $80. Is it worth it to get it fixed and switch to the A7? The only thing is the A7 doesn't have a replaceable battery, and I was planning to get a new battery for my J7 soon, so I'm not sure if that would be a downside.
What do you guys think?

I'm creating an app with a DrawerLayout which shows a blank screen until the menu is displayed. I wanted to add a welcome message on the initial screen.

I tried adding a LinearLayout containing a TextView to the DrawerLayout but the TextView wasn't displayed. Ditto when I tried a TextView by itself.

I guess I could create a new Fragment and load that when the app starts, but that doesn't sound like the best way to approach it.

Is there a way to add a message on the initial screen?

This is my activity_main

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.drawerlayout.widget.DrawerLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
    tools:openDrawer="start">

    <include
        layout="@layout/app_bar_main"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" />

    <com.google.android.material.navigation.NavigationView
        android:id="@+id/nav_view"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_gravity="start"
        android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
        app:headerLayout="@layout/nav_header_main"
        app:menu="@menu/activity_main_drawer" />

</androidx.drawerlayout.widget.DrawerLayout>

Does anybody have any experience with Wirelessbuy Unlimited Hotspot Mobile for internet service? I remember seeing it mentioned here a while back, but can't find the post.

I live in a rural area and my only options for internet are pretty much satellite or cell service. Two years ago, Verizon flat out lied about their home internet service to get me to sign up, my contract is finally up.

Is WirelessBuy Mobile actually unlimited Hotspot, meaning there is no data caps, no throttling, etc? This would be hooked up to my router and used as whole home internet.

Maybe someone has a better recommendation?

Wirelessbuy is the best Unlimited Hotspot overall wireless carrier in the U.S. and for good reason. Not only is it the fastest network in speed tests, but it also has the best customer service rating.
That's not to say it's the cheapest or most deal-friendly Hotspots Unlimited Wifi carrier. That's why we're crawling the Internet in search of the best WirelessBuy phone deals you can buy right now.

So i just got an s10 plus. I noticed when I text, the person I'm texting has their contact picture next to their name. I don't have one and couldn't figure out if I can add one or not. I'm just using the normal messaging app the phone comes with. Is there a way to turn it on so my picture shows by my messages, and if so, how? I already have my profile a picture and even made a contact for myself in the phone. Sorry if this has already been asked. I couldn't find it.

neil154 · Jul 24, 2019

Is there any app that will record both sides of a phone call conversation with Pie OS on my Verizon S8? The phone is not rooted. I am willing to side load any app if it will work.

If the only way to get it to work is rooting, please tell me which app and how to root.

I backed up the content of my former Samsung Galaxy S8 plus on a flash drive through Smart Switch. Now I can't restore the content onto my new Samsung Galaxy A70 as I can't remember the password I used in order to back up the content onto the flash drive. Is there a way to bypass the password and get the content on the flash drive restored onto my new phone? 

Samsung support center have not been able to give me any satisfactory feedback. 

 
Thank you in advance for your support

This is sheer curiosity, not something that needs attention.

This old thread shows two different members as 'thread starter.' Of course I thought perhaps two separate threads had been merged.

But look at its #1 and #2 posts. They're from the same date, though no time is shown, and from different members. They're the two posts marked 'thread starter.'

It's clear from reading #2 that it's a reply to #1; it is not the same issue posted as a question in a different thread, which then got merged.

So, how can two people be one thread's OP? If I had to bet, my money would go on it somehow having to do with both inactive members' label of 'guest.'

Okay my pixel 3 was getting a little hot and the battery was about to run out. So I switched back over to my Nokia V2. I am expecting some important emails and calls don't want to miss them.
So I am on a call and the phone image symbol thing indicating a update is available to be installed appears at the top of my screen.
I pull down the notification tray
I see something about pie
I am like oh great I am getting 9.0.1 or 9.1.1 or pie 9. Something
I am on a call.
So I get done with the call and I go back to the pie update
I see pie 9.0
I already have 9.0
Then it Dawn's on me the pie update is for my Nokia V2
My $50 emergency replacement/back up phone is getting pie

My s7 has a download page showing that will not go away. The phone will not turn off with the power button. Upon a reset (Volume up, Power, and Select buttons held simultaneously for 8-9 seconds) a recovery boot message shows up for a second or two and the blue screen with the Android minion shows up for a second or two with a message about updating. Then all goes blank and nothing else happens. Any help on how to recover this?
