Whenever I Google something lately, I only see the top results. I get at most two results and then I see similar questions people have asked. That's it. It seems it's cutting off the page, as in half of the page is blank and sometimes right in the middle of a sentence on the results.
I've tried clearing cache for the Google app, tried restarting phone, tried restarting in safe mode with the same result, tried updating the Google app. Doesn't seem to matter if I'm on wifi or not, either way I get the same result. Any ideas?

Years ago I bought an iPad Air and I enjoy it very much, but its battery life is getting too short. Yes I know I can get it replaced for about $100 US but I'm beginning to think I rather have an Android and that money might be better spent on a new tablet. (I'd consider a Windows tablet if I can get a good one at a good price.)

Although I'm happy with the iPad, I chose Apple over Android because of the music apps. However, I found making music on a tablet is both more inconvenient and time consuming than on a desktop or laptop computer. So All I ever use my iPad for is 'couch surfing'.

There are some inconveniences with the Apple that cause me to want to make a switch:

1) Exclusivity: Apple likes to do non-standard, incompatible things like non-universal connectors. For example: the Lightning port instead of USB causing me to have more cables, more connections and more expense

2) File transfer: Even with a USB to Lightning port adapter transferring files is a major PITA. I took about 800 vacation photos in Australia last year and wanted to put a couple hundred of them on my iPad to show my sisters. I couldn't just plug in a USB to Lightning and drag and drop files. iOS wanted me to go through iTunes first. I don't want iTunes I had it on an iPod and hated it. So I had to upload to Dropbox (or equivalent) from my PC and Download to the iPad. Since I have a slow DSL connection (I'm about 3 miles away from the fiber optics cable), this took an excessive amount of time.

3) File management: Some people might like this, but Apple puts the files where it wants to put them. I want to be able to organize and move them where I want with a "File Explorer" type interface. I don't know if Android lets me do that, but iPad definitely doesn't.

Since I use the iPad almost exclusively for couch surfing, this is all I need from an Android tablet.

1) 9.5" screen is a good size, something close will do - also light weight is good.

2) Good battery life

3) Sharp screen display

4) WiFi - no phone needed nor wanted - I never leave the house with it

5) The ability to transfer files with a USB flash drive (I have some with the regular USB on one side and the mini on the other)

6) Apps: only 3 really needed - My Radar (I have this on my android phone), Flipbook, and a Web browser (access to Google Play Store is important)

7) Bluetooth

I'd rather not have a physical keyboard - stylus not wanted but it's OK if it has one.

Recommendations?

Thanks!

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?

Whenever I'm in a text message and click the phone icon on the top right corner to call the person, it opens up the Viber app. I do not want to use Viber, how do I change it so it bring up the phone app instead?

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
