I'm possibly going blind in the next few years if my doctor is accurate ): so i thought the best thing to make is an app i might use and since this type of app doesn't exist for the majority of android phones (only Google's phones) i made this semi-useful thing where it detects objects and spells them out in English, French, or Arabic, it also imbeds a simple text detector with the ability to copy the captured text, i will definitely be updating it as i improve in machine learning here's the link on google play! have a test and i would love your opinions

it is also open source on github.com/iseegr8tfuldeadppl/Laya

On my PC i store albums in different folders and the songs in the folders : Music/Album1, Music/Album2, .... All my songs have the required MP3tags : Album, Title, Albumartist, Artist. So, in principle the folderstructure is not required, but ok. I'm old fashion On my smartphone i have the same folder structure. Now, when i synch between PC (Windows Media Player) and smartphone i have a strange phenomena :
It often happens (and always for the same folders) that after synching on my smartphone an additional folder Music/Albumartist/Album1 is created and all the songs in there. The original folder Music/Album1 also exists. Remarkable is the fact that there is nothing to synch in that folder
How is this possible
Kind regards

Good morning everyone.

I stay pretty up to speed on tech, but I have been stumped by this one.

Verizon sent out a recent Security/patch update, after that patch was released my watch has not been receiving notifications from my phone. Let me correct that, I receive email notifications. But nothing from text messaging, Hangouts, Discord, my games. It is frustrating I stay very busy with my work and missing out on notifications for work related business is hurting.

Things I have done.

Factory Reset on Watch.
Factory Reset on Phone.
Verified all settings.
Reset all setttings.

I would love a fix for this as soon as possible. Any guidance you guys can offer is greatly appreciated. Many thanks and have a great day.

Hi all just wan to check I am on the right path...

I want to poll a web server every 5 minutes and create an alert depending on the outcome...

Method:
Use a background Service which is loaded on boot and has an empty screen
Use alarm manager to call the BroardcastReciever
Use OkHttp in the receiver to open webpage and see if there are any messages...


Obviously I don't want to annoy people by wasting more power than necessary.

Thanks -Hagen

I was wondering if there is a way to hide your notification. I have my phone so that it's locked but even with the phone locked so nobody can get into it you can still see the notifications that go thru. I was wondering if there was a way to hide that as well.

The volume on my a40 keeps turning itself off for no reason? Any suggestions please?

My phone started giving me popups or restarting over and over about a week ago. I've deleted everything I can think of that o download that week but it's not stopping. Can anyone help. It's a Samsung galaxy S6 edge plus.

Hi all looking for a guide to upgrade my Tab2 GT5110, I just need it to be running a stable newer version of Android so that I can run a DJ app on it.

I've got an LDAP contact address book, meant to lookup the S/MIME email encryption details of target mail recipients known to my company.

The LDAP is publicly available, as third parties can also use it to search the S/MIME details of specific staff based on their email address.

Because its publicly available to people I dont know, my LDAP supports anonymous lookup, ie no authentication is required.
Obviously I dont want my entire LDAP to be harvested, so as a counter measure, you can only do live lookups for a matching email address, and when searching for wildcard, only 1 email address is returned.

So I can add my LDAP in Android as a contact account. But apparently when looking up an email address from my default mail client, no email address is returned. Most likely because android does a sync and doesnt do a live lookup.
In Outlook for Windows an LDAP lookup for an addressbook works just fine.

My questions:
1) Can anyone knowledgable on the LDAP in Android, confirm that live lookups in an LDAP contact address book are or are indeed not possible?
2) When it is possible to do live lookups, could you kindly tell me how?
3) If a third party app might be required either for the LDAP support, or a specific mail client app, kindly do let me know

As my LDAP is publicly available, send me a PM and I will provide you with the details, should this help you with helping answering my questions. I also wouldnt mind posting it here, but could be considered a commercial advertisement, and thats definately not how I want to come across.

Hello,
I am working as a tester in outsourcing company and one of our clients is currently developing a game for Android. In manifest file one of the lines is Android:InstallLocation="0". According to guidelines instead "0" there should be "auto", "preferExternal" or "internalOnly". Devs say that they don't have full control over the manifest because Unreal Engine, which they are using for their game, writes this file based on .ini file they specify. There are three digits that can specify app's install location (0,1,2) and each of them properly corresponds to "auto", "preferExternal" and "internalOnly". The question is: will Google treat this as an issues during reviewing the app or is it acceptable?

I thought this might be fun. It grew out of an actual thought I had involving a now-former member; more on that later. This is geared to long-time members.

The idea is to say, "This place hasn't been the same since," and then saying who or what it was.

For example, and this is where the idea came from:

"This place hasn't been the same since Stinky Stinky left."

And then you can expand on it if you're so inclined; like mine:

"Because he was so amusing, and his long, sometimes rambling posts left me either laughing or scratching my head."

Get the idea?

We do need some rules, though! Please do not use this to complain about the site's moderation or old mods, or insinuate politics or other controversial topics into the discussion; there are boards for that.

Okay, I started, now have at it!

just curious if anybody here will sign up for the streaming service? or what is your thoughts on another streaming service being offered?

i will most likely get it on day one.....even though i have seen most of the disney content. i'm more curious on original content like a new MCU TV show on Loki.

Rather than type all that again, I just uploaded a screenshot where I responded to A very old Post. Wasn't sure how this worked or if anybody was monitoring those. Any help is appreciated.

I'm trying to figure out why an app isn't installing. I have my phone in developer mode, and I have the settings so that it will let me install from the specified sources.

I download the apk and try to install it, but after a few seconds it just says "App not installed". no other info. The app installs fine if I'm connected to the dev system, but not if I download the apk. Just trying to figure out why. What should I be looking at to resolve this?

The only thing I can find that makes sense is the app is unsigned. But I would expect my permissions settings to resolve that.

I'm looking for a fitness tracker that I can use with my android tablet (Samsung galaxy tab 7), and most of them seem to be made to use with smartphones only. Does anyone know of an affordable fitness tracker that is compatible with a tablet? Thanks!

I've been through the forums / internet and can't find any solution to this very specific problem. Symptoms: Since returning from abroad 2 months ago, my S7 is barely receiving data from the mobile network at the app layer. e.g. I just tried to load google news and it took about 30 seconds. Next two attempts timed out.

Weird thing is if I enable the hotspot and connect a tablet or laptop, it loads the same page instantly. Therefore antennae is obv. fine, data transfer test from the laptop to the hotspot shows 18Mbps.:

However I can't even run that test directly on the phone. On wifi it behaves better with no noticeable slowness of data transfer.

What I have tried:

• Uninstalling all games, unnecessary apps my kids had on etc.
• Clearing the cache
• Using a cache cleaning app
• factory reset
• hard reset
• wiping the APN settings and re-pulling
• every permutation of the network's APN settings

none of the above has any effect. I've pretty much taken to bringing my 7" tablet around nowadays and hotspotting instead of using the phone directly.

Can anyone please put me out of my misery - am just on the verge of chucking the thing altogether now..

I have an existing Android Studio project with an assests folder called www. It presently has an html file in it.

Outside Android Studio I have moved some other html/javascript files to the www directory on my hard drive using the standard windows file manager.

How do I get Anrdoid Studio 2019 to recognise those existing files are there?

I created an Android game with Kotlin. I used a lot of global variables I know global variables are usually bad from a security standpoint but since this is a game that I don't really care if somebody cheats or breaks into it do I really need to worry about app security?

I've recently noticed that my S9+ is not syncing correctly with Microsoft Exchange. The phone indicates it is syncing and shows a current date & time of sync. However, my Microsoft Exchange account has 440 contacts and only 435 of them are showing up on my phone. I also noticed after updating a phone number with one contact on Exchange, that new number is not updating with that same contact on my phone.
