Android Forums Hacked

Y'all know the usernames, email addresses and passwords have been hacked from this site and are being used by spammers, extortionists (the "I know your password and have been videoing your Porn habit..." scam) and who knows who else.

How do I know? I have a unique email address for every site I register on and regularly get spam, "I know your password" etc...to this address with what used to be my password inserted.

So those of you who use the same email address and password combination for multiple sites... change your passwords!!

Freeze screen

Hi all,

When listening to certain podcasts , eg BBC Sounds or internet radio, I can black out the screen, disabling the buttons, and put the phone in my pocket. There are some TV programs and videos that are just as good to listen to as watch but in these cases, I can't disable the buttons, so I keep inadvertently stopping the program/video. Is there a trick I'm missing?

Thanks,

Ian

Help Hiding Apps

Hi

I have both a Huawei P20 Lite (model ANE-LX1) and a Huawei tablet (Model BAH2-W19) and I wish to hide some built-in apps on both. I know about the pinch-out gesture on the Home screen to bring up the hide app menu but this doesn't work on either device. Is there another way to bribg up this menu? The apps I want to hide cannot be disabled.

All the best

Patrick

Telephones

Don't you miss when a phone was a phone when it rang you were excited to see who's calling you but now days it's nothing but car warranty is up, school loans, your Google listing is out of date.....yadda yadda yadda today's phone are an endless search of information that will make your head spin around like on the movie the Exorcist! Don't get me wrong I love the information I'm able to understand but everything is so linked to just a click I can't tell what is real or fake anymore and its causing a lot of problems for me I'm sorry I usually don't say anything on anywhere for the fear of being hacked into not even quite sure what that means and I have nothing cyberly to steal besides my sanity! But I just had to tell someone or something this shit is driving me nutts!!!! I have to many questions and not enough mind space to begin to ask! Sorry so long and thanks for letting me rant! Even if nobody cares at least I wrote it here wherever here is??

Maps API and billing

I was looking over the maps (directions) API billing information here https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/directions/usage-and-billing

If I'm reading this correctly, you would have to estimate the average user's usage of the API and price your app accordingly based on that. And if you underestimate, you could lose money. Am I understanding correctly?

It seems like it's practically impossible to offer a free/nearly-free map app with directions, given this.

Help Connection problems with fishfinder sonar

Hello, i have bought fishfinder that uses its own wifi network to transfer data to smartphone (lowrance fishhunter 3d if it matters). When i connect to it, it keeps going on and off from the network. After some digging from internet i guess my phone keeps trying to relog into the wifi because it sees network has no internet and keeps attempting to restart connection. But i havent found any settings to disable that feature.

Is android phone nowdays unable to connect into wifi network that has not internet?

Oh and im using oneplus 5, with latest update auto-updater offers

Skeletal Changes From Screen Use

Young People are Growing Horns


Excerpt:

New research in biomechanics suggests that young people are developing hornlike spikes at the back of their skulls — bone spurs caused by the forward tilt of the head, which shifts weight from the spine to the muscles at the back of the head, causing bone growth in the connecting tendons and ligaments. The weight transfer that causes the buildup can be compared to the way the skin thickens into a callus as a response to pressure or abrasion.

I considered this might be fodder for discussion...

Remote control android (samsung s8)

hi guys, it's my first time here, i'm searching for a good android developers forum. i'd like if some genius of you will help me. I explain my problem trying to be really clear: i have to remote control my samsung s8 that will be connected via usb-c to a webcam. the problem is that i cannot start and AUTHORIZE the remote control from the phone, i will be really far and i'll be on my computer. i tried team viewer host that allows this, but unfortunatelly it's a fully bugged app. when the cellphone go on standby sometimes work sometimes not, and this changes from cellphone to cellphone. i need something that allows to control the phone without any problems WITH NO HANDS ON THE PHONE cuz devices will be in 2 different cities. i tried to optimize teamviewerhost background settings but it's the same, after the first connection it's really difficult to reach the phone the 2nd time. please help me
