Hi, this status bar icon has appeared on my MotoX4 "Android One" from Google Fi running Android 9 and I don't know what it means. Anyone know what this status bar icon means? Thanks!

Hello Everyone,

I would like to present my new android strategy game Tactic Master.



This is a very challenging offline RTS battle game that require pre-battle planning and tactics to win. Unlike other RTS battle games, there are no castles to destroy, you just need to reach to the enemy base to win. Also, the number of warriors to spawn is limited which makes it more challenging.

You have various guys in the game, 22 units in total:

1. Melee Warriors ⚔️:
• 3 lightweight melee guys that are very fast to deploy ‍♂️
• 4 heavyweight melee guys

2. Ranged warriors :
• 2 with firearms
• 1 with grenade attack
• 1 with lethal gas attack

3. Magic warriors :
• 2 with freezing attacks : effect varies according to the warrior
• 1 with vortex attack
• 1 mage to convert enemy troops: effect varies according to the warrior
• 1 with electric attack ⚡ : effect varies according to the warrior

4. Special Warriors :
• 1 lays landmines
• 1 calls airstrike every 25 seconds ✈️
• 1 guy with explosive belt
• 1 medic : when deployed, he adds 30 HP to all your units every 3 seconds

5. Monster Warriors :
• 1 spider ️
• 1 skeleton
Please try it and give me your feedbacks.
I hope you enjoy it!
Thank you.

Hi,

I would like to know the best, safest, but free way to root an Android device. I know there is software such as "OneClickRoot" but that costs a lot of money to use. Is there an easy, but free and safe way of doing it?

Thanks!

Trying to figure out if Facebook app is glitching on my android device or if my controlling girlfriend could possibly be doing this. I know for a fact that she has been going thru my phone when I'm not around. Because my friends conversation with me keeps getting deleted off of Facebook messenger and unadded on Facebook and it isn't him doing it. So I password locked my phone. But somehow it's only my friends conversation getting deleted and him getting unfriended. So I put a passcode on my phone and it still happened after I put a pass code on my phone. So the only thing I can think of is she saw me type in my passcode to get in my phone when I was sitting next to her. I'm pretty sure Facebook cannot glitch like that but figured I would ask anyway and see what other people have to say.

Hey, I had saved my usernames and passwords on google chrome - autofill on my android lenovo tab 3, so when I wanted to sign in to my google accounts there were everything remembered by chrome and I didnt need to fill neither username nor passwords, but then unfortunately my android made some sync and after that everything was deleted without warning and there is just one my main google account where should be sync everything.
Do you know if its possible to return the settings to previous? Or how to get back to the previous cache (cookies)? I know there are some possibilities if its chrome in Windows or Mac, but how to find the browser data on Android if I cant save the data on my PC through USB (I can see only media but not system or browser data or caches).
There are no passwords saved on my google account (it wasnt sync to https://passwords.google.com/), but passwords was remembered by the chrome through different websites where I was log in by my google accounts.

Thank you for some advices!

Hi everyone.
I am thinking of buying S9 dual sim (Exynos) or S10e dual sim (Exynos) so my question is:
How hard is rooting S9 and S10 (both Exynos versions, android version = version that new device comes with) compared to rooting S8? I had no problem to root my S8 (Exynos, Android 8).

i need help in uploading my App on google play store.

Hi, I'm currently using a Samsung J1.

I recently cleared 1.5GB miscellaneous data in my phone by going to SETTINGS-STORAGE-INTERNAL MEMORY-MISSLCELLENEOUS DATA-WHATSAPP(1.2GB) and WHATSAPP BUSINESS(300MB), I selected both data from the list and deleted. Good news was that my phone got an extra 1.5GB space which had apparently been hidden in the two WhatsApp apps as listed on that drop menu.

However, three weeks later, my miscellaneous data is back to 1.06GB but when I use the same process to delete the unwanted data, this time the phone does not display the WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business apps as beneficiaries of the miscellaneous data.


So even if I click on the folder MISSLCELLENEOUS DATA, there's no option to delete.

What do I do yet my internal memory has ran out and I can't install new Apps or download new files?

If you were alive then and have actual memories of watching the Apollo 11 broadcasts, please share. I already know I'm not the only old geezer around here who watched in awe.

On July 16, 1969, my mom woke us up early, around 6:00am. We gathered around the living room TV and waited, with excited anticipation, for the launch. And then, there it was, a picture-perfect liftoff at 6:32am.

Four days later, we gathered around the TV again, and waited with bated breath for the first ever footsteps on the moon. At 7:56pm it finally happened!

It's hard to believe that was 50 years ago.

We are working with Audio codec interface with Hikey960 . We are facing some issue while we run i2s read and write operation. We are using tinyplay for testing i2s read and write operation .

Issue is that when we run the command tinyplay sine1hz.wav -d 1 on hikey960
It prints following details.

Playing sample: 2 ch, 48000 hz, 16 bit 1920000 bytes

But after 10 seconds we are getting error message as below,

Error playing sample and the application stops .

We run the ‘strace’ command over the same function . It has been noticed
at line 581: mmap failure.
at line 591: IOCTL Failure.

Is it related to any kernel version issue ? Any body have idea on this.
Is there any other method for testing i2s read and write operation from audio codec ?
Can any body help me to fix this issue .

I have TeamViewer host on my Samsung Galaxy S10+ which I want to keep active so that I can remotely access that phone from another phone. However, the TeamViewer goes inactive after only a few minutes. If I touch the phone, I see that there is a yellow dot that changes to green within a few seconds. However, I want to be able to "wake up" the TeamViewer on the phone without being able to access it physcially.

How can I do this? Is it related to the auto-sleeping? I tried adjusting the settings already. Or is there some setting I can put on TeamViewer?

Thank you!

Hi everyone. Any help appreciated... att has been no help.

A month or so ago I blocked two contacts. I am not using a third party app, just going into the contact and selecting the block option. One contact has an associated landline and a cell number (the cell they never use). The second contact is cellular only.

I have since unblocked them, but am still not able to receive calls/ texts. I recreated the contacts as att suggested, but it hasn't seemed to help.

I'm not sure what else to do, or even what else to check. I wonder if I deleted them from my phone entirely as a contact would that work, seeing as I blocked the entire contact and not a specific number or call? I just don't know. Any advice appreciated.

Alpha release for feedback.

I got tired of map aps that cover half the screen with suggestions and other stuff so i made this, mostly for myself. I'm hoping others will also find it useful.

It's a fee fairly bare-bones map that shows current location, lets you search for an address, and gives you a blue line from A to B.

There is still some polish needed. Right now I'm looking for feedback on features that might be useful (while keeping it simple) and bugs or problems you might find.

Thanks in advance to everyone who helps!

I use the Gmail app on my Pixel 2XL for email. I have both a Microsoft Exchange account and a Google Gmail account. Previously in the Gmail App, I could choose either inbox to view, or both together. Now I can only choose the Gmail Inbox, or All Inboxes. When I choose all inboxes, it does show emails from both accounts.

In Outlook I have several folders that I move emails into. I used to be able to see these folders in the Gmail app (click on triple bar icon), but recently they went away. If I search for an email that I know is in a folder, it will show up in the results. In the settings section I can set sync settings for these email folders, but they are not visible when I click on the triple bar icon. I tried removing and re-adding my Exchange email account, but this didn't help.

I keep getting notifications on my WhatsApp very late or some times not at all (until I decide to open the app). Also some times if the WhatsApp notifications decide to show up they dont make any sound. (restarting the device fixes it but still this is a problem).
I tried:
1. App -> special access -> turned off the battery optimization for WhatsApp

2. Excluded Whatsapp from the memory optimization RAM (in Device Care)

3. WhatsApp is allowed to run in foreground. (data saver is off)

4. Tampered with internal notification settings of the phone and in app settings inside WhatsApp .

Bought an LG v20 H910.
One of the methods to change from standard ROM involved altering the phone to an H91510e.
Although the expected results from those instructions did not happen on this phone, afterward the phone WAS working as an H915.
Tried again with a different method to add TWRP to the (now) H915 but I fear it bricked.

1) I can get [fastboot mode] (vol-, then plug USB in) to come up but I have no idea from here how to get to install TWRP (or even it it did get installed).
2) Trying to enter [download mode] just gives me a colorful garbled screen.
3) Just trying now to turn on the phone says OS corrupted.

In [download mode] LGUP does run but it cannot determine the phone's model, so it won't do anything.
In [fastboot mode] the screen just has tiny writing that says "1140 fastboot mode" started, and above that it that has some data about the phone:
product_name - msm8886 64GB
variant - msm8886 64GB
bootloaded version -
baseband version -
carrier_info - N/A
serial_number - [serial number here]
signing - production
secure_boot - disabled
lock_state - locked

PS - The msm# above (8886) *could be* 9996 or 8996, etc. The print is way tiny and characters too close together. Can't really tell

Can anyone help?

Just trying to figure out what app this is that would be open...??!!! It’s in the status bar on the left side

Hello. I thing from a month ago my Huawei Y221-u12 stop working. I go to recovery menu to wipe data but I noticed that there isn't "No command" under android logo (wiping data completes but too fast than normal). Also when I go to system partiton check it says "system mount failed". When I try to boot device it just stuck at boot screen (huawei logo). Can I somehow handle it or have to go to the service?
Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,
Wanting to organize my files my way, I encounter the problem of auto-creating folders.
In Internal, I got Android and all his com.%name of an app%, CloudDrive, fonts, HWThemes, Wi-Fi direct,... folders.
In SD card, Android and LOST.DIR folders.
I know pretty much all they're used for but most of them are useless to me and the way I use my phone. They re-create themselves shorty after being deleted.
Here are my questions:
Do you know a way to prevent them to auto-create ?
Do you know a way to rename some of them without them losing their auto-utility (for example 'DCIM' into 'Camera' but still saving auto-savig pictures in that folder)?
Thank you very much.
Marcelin

I'm having problem upgrading my app to 64 bit. I've already upgraded my previous React Native version to 0.59.3. Which is includes 64 bit but when I tried to run in my device, the app crashed.

The error i got is:
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: couldn't find DSO to load: libimagepipeline.so caused by: dlopen failed: "/data/data/...../lib-main/libimagepipeline.so" is 64-bit instead of 32-bit

So from the error, it means android doesn't know how to choose the correct bit? The only solution to prevent the crash, is to use the following configuration:

packagingOptions {
exclude "lib/arm64-v8a/libgnustl_shared.so"
exclude '/lib/mips64/**'
exclude '/lib/arm64-v8a/**'
exclude '/lib/x86_64/**'
}

Which of course will get warning message from google because there are no 64bit codes in my apk. So how can I solve this problem?

I have a question about the Smart Lock functionality on my new S10 Plus. I know how to set it, and I know how to add a location to it, but the functionality only seems to last for the day that I set it, and sometimes not even for that long.

That is, I open the Smart Lock link, add my home location and exit from it. The phone works, not locking my phone while I am home, usually for the day. The next day it no longer works and I have to add another Smart Lock link. The old one is still there, but adding a new one gives me a slightly different location, and then that one only lasts for one day, sometimes less.

Sometimes if I move to a different room in the house the lock stops working. Often moving 15 feet is enough for the functionality to stop working and it does not start again when I return to the original location.

Can anyone tell me what is going on?
