Help Detected Unknown Floating Image On Screen!

Hi Group,

I am a newbie. I have an Android LGE. Within the last 4 days an Image appeared on my phone. I attempted to delete but not possible. I am totally at a loss as to what or how it was installed. The image is clear upon initial view but when I tap it, the image turns white. It is a square with a circle inside and a (person?) inside the circle. If I tap on it, then the background is black with a volume option, Power option and a Home option. When I click next there are options for accessibility, Screen capture, and Pinch.

Driving me crazy. It floats to every app I use, to my contact list, my conversation list...everywhere. I have unloaded any apps I installed within this time frame. But to no avail.

Please help if able. I appreciate your time and effort in advance.

Sincerely,

Caitlin

A520F [Root w/o data wipe?] | or [decrypt internal memory data dump] | picture recovery

The problem is this: Samsung A5 Galaxy 2017 A520F Android 8.0.0 Oreo Stock ROM

Starting point:
I accidentally deleted important photos / screenshots.

I want to pull a data dump from the32 gb block device (dd or adb pull) to my PC.
This will hopefully rescue my deleted images by using Photorec.

Via twrp and adb I could already pull the mmcblk0 debice 32gb to my PC.

Problem: this seems Samsung encrypted.

Question:
Option a: does a possibility exist to decrypt this img file 32 GB on the PC? (Samung tools) Attention: I am the owner, I have all keys: Google Account, PIN, Wipe gesture. I am the owner.

Option b:
exists a way to get SU/root rights via twrp or other wg WITHOUT data wipe? Then I can try a SU dd dump to an external sd card during the stock rom is running and hopfully has the device somewhere mounted in a decrypted manner.


Are there any other options?

Thanks a lot.

onCreate question

I have a simple map app that I've been using, and I've noticed that I lose pins and routes if the app is backgrounded for a while. I can background it for a minute or two without a problem, but it clears everything to a fresh start if I leave it for 30 minutes or so (I don't know the exact time before it clears). From what I can tell, the activity is calling onCreate again. I also noticed this happening with rotation.

I was wondering if there's a certain time limit that cause onCreate to be called again? Is there any way to change that if there is?

Part of the point of this app is to provide a map that remains loaded while traveling through areas with no service, so I'm trying to avoid reloads as much as possible.

Useless app icon

Their is an app icon in my app list that is labeled as instant app. It's gray with a lighting bolt. When I click on it, it opens my gallery.
When I long press on it and click app details it comes up as the play store.
If I disable it, it will remove my play store app and I would have to redownload it again which would result in the instant app icon coming back.
I've tried hiding it but whenever I download a new app or comes right back.
Hope someone has a solution for this issue im having.

What is best charging output for Galaxy S10+ charger?

Hi all,

I am a bit confused with the charging output for the S10+.

I read oniline that it can charge max. 15W. So for example 5V/3A.

However, I have bought some adapters that are FastCharge, but it shows 5V/2A. so the charging speed is 10W, if I understand well.

1. Can it be FastCharge and 10W instead of 15W?
2. If the charger is let's 5V/2A but doesn't support the FastCharge technology it will not charge on 10W?
3. For my charger and powerbank I should ideally look for 5V/3A and FastCharge 2.0?

Thanks!

Happy Independence Day

I hope everyone has a fun and safe holiday. While celebrating with friends and relatives, there is nothing wrong with remembering those that fought for our independence and those that have and are serving to preserve that freedom.

I'm spending the day with my life long friends at my cabin. Grilling out, lots of camaraderie, and enjoying the day. Some alcohol may be involved. :) We'll crash for the night there so there will be no drinking and driving.
Do you have something special planned for the day? For the weekend? Be safe and have fun!

Pistol shooting at the target

Hi All. Today i will present new game.
The game is a simulator of shooting a pistol Beretta 92.
The main feature of the «Pistol shooting» game that distinguish it from other similar games is a choice of aiming mode with «alignment of a front sight».</b> What is «alignment of a front sight»? In most simulations of fire, when aiming, you just have to combine the sight of the guns weapon with the target and shoot. This pistol sight consists of two parts, front sight and rear sight with a cut. To shoot accurately it is necessary to put the front sight on the center of the cut and its top end is aligned to the top plane of rear sight. This is called alignment of the front sight. Keeping this mutual location of sighting devices it is necessary to combine the guns sight with the target and shoot.

Help Note 9 screenshots transfer

Hello, I've been searching for help on this for a month or so now here and various other places and can't find my specific issue anywhere, hoping someone can help or at least have some ideas to point me in the right direction.

I can backup my Samsung Galaxy Note 9's photos and videos (from Phone/DCIM/Camera) to my own PC easily after connecting them via the USB cable and hitting allow and all that on my phone, but my phone is still filling up because for the life of me I can't backup my screenshots.

Most were taken with the s-pen's screen write function, but some were taken with the palm swipe method or the volume down + power button method... doesn't matter, all of them are seemingly invisible to my Windows 7 PC when trying to find them in explorer. They're not in the obvious place (Phone/DCIM/Screenshots), which just acts like it's loading a ton of files for several minutes and then ends up showing 0 items... and I can't find them anywhere else, either. I'm not using any SD cards, nor am I uploading anything to a cloud service or anything like that, just want to oldschool transfer all my data to my computer via USB cable and start fresh with tons of room available. Oh, and if I go to a screenshot in my phone's Gallery app and view details, it says it's located in Internal Storage/DCIM/Screenshots with name format "Screenshot_2019MMDD-HHMMSS_ProgramName.jpg". And yet... invisible!

Before getting this phone in 2018, I had a Note 4 for several years. While the photos and videos were in the same exact directory, the screenshots were in a whole other spot in the file structure. But I've looked everywhere, I've even just copied entire folders to my PC in the hopes that the screenshots would somehow get transferred, but... to no avail. Any help/ideas? Thanks in advance.

UX design query

I have a set of 3 radio buttons defined in a single row as follows:

Code:
    <RadioGroup
        android:id="@+id/radioGroup"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginStart="16dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
        android:layout_marginEnd="16dp"
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/checkBox2">

        <RadioButton
            android:id="@+id/radioButton"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginStart="0dp"
            android:layout_marginEnd="6dp"
            android:checked="true"
            android:text="@string/single_prop" />

        <RadioButton
            android:id="@+id/radioButton2"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginLeft="6dp"
            android:layout_marginRight="6dp"
            android:text="@string/investor" />

        <RadioButton
            android:id="@+id/radioButton3"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginStart="6dp"
            android:layout_marginEnd="0dp"
            android:text="@string/first_timer" />

    </RadioGroup>

Is it possible to define the buttons so that they are in a single row if there's room or wrapped with 2 on the first line and the third on a second line if there's not room for them all? Or is it a question of designing for the lowest common denominator (smallest device)?

Music app to replace Google and/or Apple music?

I have a large library stored in the cloud and I cant seem to find an app with a good user interface to access my music on my Galaxy. ringtones samsung

Although Google and Apple are good for now, I find it very confusing how they exhibit/list the music. Too many photos...; I would like to just see lists of artists/albums...in each genre...alphabetically. The way the Ipod classic looked...but on my Android.

Is there any way for me to do this?
