Stereo / Surround sound problem

Hi ! Recently I bought an Samsung S9+. What I did noticed, after making the updates and installing some games, is that, after a few minutes, the music ... changes... It's like it's not stereo anymore (or, better said, that surround feeling disappears) . It just sounds worse...

Noticed this on PUBG Mobile (high settings, in the main menu), Pako 2 and Real Racing 3 (while racing). And after around 5 mins from the game's start.

Is this normal for an brand new S9+ (idk, overheating), or should I have it replaced/fixed (or is it any way to fix it myself) ?

Oh, and Dolby Atoms is on, and also I have an Clear View Cover on it (again, may be overheating, idk).

Thanks in advance !

How to easily copy alpha-numeric PIN code

Hi guys,

Context: I am working on an app that sends the user a PIN code to check the phone number ownership. Due to company security restrictions, the PIN code has 6 characters, made from letters and digits (ex: AB12C3).

Question 1: How to easily copy the alpha-numeric 2FA code from the default SMS app? I did find a lot of articles about copying numeric codes, such as 12345, but I want an easy solution (no 3rd party apps) that can allow me to easily cop ya PIN code such as AB12C3.I only want to press on the code for a second to have it saved to the clipboard. I do not want to go through "Select text" -> manually select the PIN code. Is there a solution for this?

Thank you!

  • windshield -It places the phone at eye level and is extremely cheap and easy to install - you can effortlessly stick and remove it from the glass
  • Dashboard - By placing your handset on the dashboard you can easily interact with the phone without affecting your windshield view
  • Vents - vent mounts are the best suited for people who don't want to have their handsets mounted in their cars all the time.
  • Rear View Mirror - Mounting the device on the rear view mirror does not require much effort to view your phone screen when you are driving the car

LocationManager problem

Hello guys!
I have the following code to request location update, but it doesn't work. I get this error "Call requires permission which may be rejected by user: code should explicitly check to see if permission is available (with checkPermission) or explicitly handle a potential SecurityException".
Can you help me with some answers?
Thank you a lot!

The code that I have:
if (mLocationManager.getAllProviders().indexOf(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER) >= 0) {
mLocationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 500, 0, this);
} else {
Log.w("MainActivity", "No GPS location provider found. GPS data display will not be available.");
}

if (!mLocationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER)) {
showGpsDisabledDialog();
}

mLocationManager.addGpsStatusListener(this);

PS: I included user-permission in AndroidManifest. I am running sdkVersion 27

Go Launcher - How can I disable home screen notifications?

I've been using go launcher flawlessly for months with no issues, but it seems like there's just been an update that I absolutely hate. ringtones free
As of yesterday, when I press my home button, I don't actually go home, but to an intermediate screen filled with my Facebook and email notifications and the like that I must dismiss to actually go home. I despise it. I pressed home, I want to go home, I'll with my notifications on my own time!!
Is there any way I can disable this feature so that I don't have to uninstall the launcher? It's been by far my favorite up until now. Download Samsung klingeltone herunterladen free

In house server with Android clicker for quizzing

There are a number of websites now that allow people to host quizzes. Many of them have an app that can be installed on a smart phone - the student presses a "button" on the phone to answer the question. I am hoping to find an app to put on a computer that is in the classroom rather than having to tether to the internet. Does anyone know what words I should use to search for this?

Help Strange behavior: Calling by using "recent calls" list calls random numbers.

Hello
Hoping someone can figure out what is going on. Yesterday I called my wife by pressing her contact in the "recent calls" list, however the number called is not hers, but some random number. Her contact on my phone has not changed. Even more weirdly my mother-in-law came to me with the same problem (she has a Doro phone for elderly people). We have so far only problems with my wife's number.

When I looked at my call history more closely I noticed that these calls were registered to/from my wife but her name is spelled without spaces. It is spelled with spaces in my contacts. The contact without spaces does not exist in my contacts.

Is this some kind of of virus?

Amlogic MXQ-Pro TV box - HDMI off

Have a problem of HDMI not restoring when I turn monitor back on.
During music play, (or long pause during video play) I need to power off monitor because waste precious solar battery power.
Is there a system config file that has line I can modify to eg: disable HDMI off when monitor power down.
or
A way to turn HDMI back on easily, (only way at present is to power down). I suspect it changes over to composite output when monitor off.
I have used RFObasic in the past to make small apps, maybe could do something to respond to remote key press if I knew what to set.

Thanks

Running Ttl budget app

I am looking for a budgeting / checkbook app that will do the following.
• Allow recurring payments and recurring bi-weely income.
• allow me to look at future dates (up to 8 weeks balances) if I have any future times when I will have a negative balance based on recurring bills.
• allow me to set up loan payment showing debt left after monthly payment.
• prefer off-line and free. But am flexible.

Help Delete metadata

Hello World

I think I messed up. I tried to move my camera pictures from my Samsung Galaxy S6 to my computer. I tried several ways, in the end I found an app called SSHelper. This app lets me connect to my phone with a normal ssh connection. Like this I downloaded all my pictures and was happy - for a moment. Now I have the following file, that is 11.5 GB in total:
DCIM/.metadata/HighLight.meta

I can't delete this file, since I don't have the permission to do so. I found an app that would let me delete the thumbnails.

BatikRecovery for Orbic Wonder

batik-recovery.png

Still waiting for that kernel source, so we found some more recoveries to at least do in that time. I know it's nothing new and exciting yet, and as much as I like bringing cool stuff like this I'm just as bored with recoveries as you guys probably are. Hope it satisfies your needs for content until Orbic finally decides it wants to release the kernel source for this thing like it's legally obligated to do. Believe me, I REALLY want to stop doing just dirty ports for this thing and get down to business with some real source, but I'm kinda screwed out of that now since they refuse to release it

This is BatikRecovery. It's an Indonesian fork of TWRP with a pretty sweet theme actually. Check out more about them on their GitHub page HERE

WHAT WORKS/DOESNT WORK:
  • Gonna be the same as all the other ones probably... phone shows up as a Redmi 3s because of the nature of dirty ports, and oem/vendor won't mount but everything else should (if data doesn't you need to flash the disable-verity zip and factory reset)
  • This recovery was supposed to come with a bunch of tools as it came in a flashable zip that contained the image and the tools to all be installed at once. However, because of how dirty ports work, unfortunately the tools are left out. There's not much I can do about this until we get the proper source to build our own stuff with
DOWNLOADS:
  • LINK TO BATIK RECOVERY DIRECTLY
  • LINK TO THE REST OF THE REPO TO SEE ALL OUR OTHER STUFF
  • Again I can't give source code for anything unfortunately because we're working with dirty ports here (because we ourselves have no source code for the phone or we'd be doing this the right way) but please feel free to use any and all of my images on the repo above for anything you want. It's a community effort here to get this phone pulled away from the dark side of the force
THANKS TO:
  • Team Orbic as usual
  • Team Batik for that sweet banner image I'm using, that's not mine that I made that's the official one that came from their GitHub page. Pretty cool!
  • XDA user zhantech for making Batik for the Redmi 3s which we ported it from. Check out the original thread for it HERE
  • Carliv Image Kitchen for letting me do all these gnarly dirty ports

Huawei Honor 6 Stuck on installing update

hi, i have huawei honor 6 and just update it to android 6.0

I then decided to factory reset it and delete cache. After that, the phone just got stuck at loading screen. I tried everything, did a factory reset again, let it load for some time, but it didn't help. Then i saw in one of the forums that i should press all keys together while having a charger connected, which i did and it brought me to an update page.

The problem is, update is stuck at 5%; it just says: "Installing update... 5%"

I don't know what to do at this point. I can't even access phone's storage because it doesn't show up in my pc.

Any help would be appreciated.
