Any contractors with Wear OS experience looking in London?

Not sure if this is the right place to post - please let me know if not and I'll remove! :)

To introduce myself, I work with a start-up incubator owned by BCG. We've received investment from a pharma company to build a new start-up in the digital health space and currently building an MVP for this.

We're looking for an Android Dev to join us on a contract basis in our Soho office to help do this - any experience with Wear OS or Google Fit would be amazing :)

Power problems for my Galaxy S4

I've been using my Samsung GS-4 for about 4 years. Just recently the screen starts to flicker and then the phone shuts itself off. The only way I can restart it is to put the power cord in the charging port (regardless of the fact that the battery is near fully charged) then I can get it started again. Once started the phone stays on. Anyone else experience this issue?
Thanks for any input.

Help with Google Spreadsheet API

Hello,

I am in a group that has been assigned to build an android app for our senior project. None of us have any skills in Java or app development. We started last month and our mentor has a very fast deadline so we have been "learning" as we go and basically using online tutorials to create it - we don't have much time to sit and try to understand the code until later which is not ideal but is what it is.



I am tasked with pulling data that has already been sent to a google spreadsheet, and turning it into graphs/charts for the user to see. I am having trouble trying to bring the data back - I followed along a few tutorials, but if I try to change the script at all, it breaks down and I am not knowledgable enough to fix it. Tutorials are either old and no longer supported, have the data input in the same part (we have already accomplished this on a different page in the app), or have additional stuff we don't need (like the Google Spreadsheet tutorial - it wants the user to log into their google email to see the data).



Does anyone know of any simple tutorials that just purely pull the data back? It seems like each one I try either doesn't work or is way more complex than we need. Preferably I would like to learn java from the ground up without the rush, but unfortunately that isn't possible at this time.

How soon will Zenfone 6 (ZS630KL) be available in UK?

Hi,

Q: Has anyone heard how soon the Asus Zenfone 6 will be available to order for the UK?

More info:
I tried to contact Asus using the e-mail on their support page to ask when this smartphone would be back in stock, but sending them a message returned the following error:

"kundenserver.de rejected your message to the following email addresses:
cs(at)asusstore(dot)co(dot)uk"

In the detailed error report further down it reads, ".. allocated storage;Quota exceeded...".

I can send a letter or phone them but I thought it'd be a better idea to ask the lovely AndroidForums community. :)

I've really enjoyed using this MS Lumia 950 XL, but Microsoft has discontinued support for this device. I love everything about the Zenfone 6 and the Flip Camera is a great gimmick but also very practical. I'm excited to try it out!

If you have anything to share pertaining to my question, I would appreciate it a lot!

Thanks!

Help please help!!!

Hello, sorry for my english first of all

I will explain my problem briefly here so if anyone can understand and tell me the solution

I found an post about installing Dolby Atmos into my device and then I idiotically followed their steps to install that dolbyatmos.zip file into my device, on the thread it said that you have to have the TWRP Recovery Mode to install an zip file
so I downloaded odin 3.12.3 and with it i flashed the TWRP "TWRP_3.2.1-0_J7-Pro"
and after flashing into the twrp i successfully got into TWRP Recovery Mode
tried to install the dolbyatmos.zip from the install menu but my Internal Storage was showing 0mb
so I thought rebooting the device will may be solve the problem but now the device gone into boot loop
it is constantly restarting (only showing the model number again and again), I dont mind data loss or something because I have the whole phone backup in to the kies and in my pc too.
so my question is
what can I do to get my mobile started again??
anyone please help me

Programatically changing the orientation of buttons within a RadioGroup

I have a constraint layout with a RadioGroup consisting of 3 RadioButtons which will usually be displayed horizontally. Under certain circumstances I want the buttons to be displayed vertically.

I have the following code:

Java:
RadioGroup rg = findViewById(R.id.radioGroup);
rg.setOrientation(ConstraintLayout.VERTICAL);
which gives Cannot resolve symbol on VERTICAL.

I'm not sure how to resolve this. Can anyone help, please?

Urgent please help

Urgent. Please help.

I want to block all text messages on my WhatsApp but I want to keep WhatsApp voice calls working.
How to do this?

Maybe WhatsApp text messages uses a specific server or port or server range or protocol that can be blocked system wide on my Android? Using something similar to Windows hosts file maybe?

Maybe the above text system is different from WhatsApp voice call servers/ports/protocols?

If correct then we can block WhatsApp messages servers/protocols/ports and leave voice calling intact & working.

Please help. Urgent.

A problem with obb file resigning at Google Play (I guess)

Okay, guys, I am really stuck with this problem for about a month now! Maybe someone had something similar or can give me some advice – any help would be greatly appreciated!

in June I've made a minor update to my app and from then nothing works like it should. It had a lot of bugs, sometimes the game didn't even started. The bugs are different but the main thing is like some resources are missing (pictures, music etc.). The bugs are different every time. In fact, I can make 2 builds one after another and they will have different bugs. Important note: I changed literllay NOTHING from my previous configuration that I have built my last successful update.

All my builds are working perfectly without Google Play! I do a build, then install it on the phone and do not have any problems. The problems start when uploading it to Google Play and then downloading it to the device. First, when this happened, all my users had the same bug, so I had to hide my app, and now it's not available to the public. All the following builds had this problem too, so downgrading didn't help either. It's like something changed in Google Play in June!

My game is made using Unity3D, though I've just uploaded a new build on a whole different engine (with the same keystore etc.) and it doesn't work either! My game uses an obb file, so I guess Google does something on its side and then my game doesn't work. When I just replaced an obb file downloaded from Google Play with the one from my PC (it's the same file, I've just uploaded to Google Play!) everything works!

I repeat myself: I've tried EVERYTHING! All the possible build settings, even different engines!

If I just install the game on the phone without Google Play, it works perfectly everytime! Then again, when I upload it to Google Play and then download it, it doesn't work properly or works at all!

Maintain a persistent connection with the server in background from android oreo client

I built a VoIP calling app which maintains a persistent connection with the server to listen to any incoming calls. I implemented a background service to do this.

But since Oreo, this running code is now broken because of the introduction of [Background Execution Limits] (https://developer.android.com/about/versions/oreo/background.html)

After looking into forums, I found that some people are suggesting Convert Service to JobService and let android schedule it Doing so, my app won't be able to receive calls when it is stopped Run your operations in foreground services It is annoying for some users to see a constant notification in the notification bar. So these above-mentioned options aren't working for me to fix my code for Oreo. How can I maintain a persistent connection with the server to be ready for incoming VOIP calls?

Help Can't Set Up Email

To give some context...I had to reset my phone about a month ago when it was acting up (the battery would drain quickly for no reason). The reset worked but now I'm having trouble setting up my email!

I go into the default email app (which I like) and type in my Gmail account information, all is good. Then I click on the password field and I am met with a 403 error, stating "disallowed_useragent"!

I didn't do anything special with the phone and email was working just fine before the reset. I prefer using this app because it allows me to switch between accounts and I like the UI. I'm currently using Outlook which I don't like as much.

How do I get Google to allow me to login?

Floating menu icon wont go away!

Hello, I am looking for someone to help me. Recently on my S10+ a floating menu button appeared on my screen. I can't get it to go away. I can't even move it. When I click on it. 6 options appear. Notifications, quick settings, home, back, point scan, Overview, Disabled auto select. I have tried everything to remove it. I've even done a soft reset. I've deleted all 3rd party apps. I did put it in safe mode and it was gone. I've been on Samsung's help line and they remotely into my phone. It's still there. Help me please. I feel like this thing is recording my every move.

Help Location Services Keep Turning On

If it helps, here is the about for my phone:
Galaxy A5 (2017)
Model : SM-A520W
Android : 8.0.0
Kernal : 3.18.14-15252667-QB24005864 (plus some other stuffs)
Build : R16NW.A520WVLS9CSE2

I don't recall how long ago it started... but at least a few months now.
The Location services keep turning on randomly.
I've gradually been cutting out more and more apps and stuff from permission to use it.
As of last night, I went through all my apps and disabled permission to access Location for every single one... except 'Google Play services' because it won't let me.
I have also turned off the 'can change system settings' for most of the apps that have that option.
I even went so far as to turn off the option to send location information to emergency services.

Sure enough, I check for messages on my phone and Location services turns on again.
It only turns on while I am using my phone... and every time it asks if I would like to improve the accuracy.

A little more information : I close apps when I'm not using them. I just hit the 'open tabs' thing and tell it to close them. I could probably leave texting or such open, but I'm not even using them daily.

The services turn on at any time... from the moment I unlock the screen to the moment I turn off the screen.
Playing a game, writing a text message, middle of a call, or having just unlocked it to do one of those... and it suddenly turns on Location services and asks to turn on 'Advanced Location'.

If you have any guidance on what might be doing this, let me know please.
