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

Help - unknown app on daughter's samsung

My daughter is using an old Samsung SM-G925V (no phone number, just wifi) and I have google family link installed so I can monitor her usage and app installs. (I don't have the phone in hand or I would include more info, ie kernel, OS version, etc... sorry!)

I was on my (parent) end of the Family Link app and scrolled through her apps. At the very bottom, I saw this:

First of all, WTF is that? No name, just a symbol... I clicked on "View on Google Play" and it said the app cannot be found. I can't attempt to uninstall it until I have the phone in my hand, but I was able to block it..

I'd like to know what it is and how she got it... And what else to look for... I figured I would ask the place where I would find people with a vast amount of knowledge of these things.

Any info on this app would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!!

Removing charging overlay lock screen

Hi all,
Over the past 2 weeks I has an unwanted overlay appearing on my screen each time I plug my phone for charging (or unplug it after charging). I attach a screenshot.
It's quite bothersome, especially when someone calls you when your phone is charging, you unplug the phone and this overlay lock screen appears, preventing you from picking up the call.

I had a look all around the Settings menu (apps / notifications / battery / etc) but couldn't find where / how to disable this feature. Had a look around the web also on various forums and websites, but still no luck.

Would anyone have a solution or recommendation please?
Ev

My tablet is constantly turning the brightness up by itself and the battery drains too fast.

I don't know if I was hacked or it's an app but when charging, the brightness will go up to about 50% all on it's own. When it does this, the battery goes down one percent each time. I'll turn the brightness back down but within a minute, it goes up again. I unplug it but then the battery goes down too fast (I think maybe it's normal) I try putting it in power save more but it doesn't really help if it does anything, it probably drains it faster. I just use Wi-Fi and one or two apps.
I at least want to fix the brightness. I have a tablet so everything I've seen doesn't work. There are no adaptive brightness settings or anything like that.
Thanks for reading

Video Game Only Works On Pixel 3 Device

I built a video game and it works perfectly on my pixel 3 phone but if I put it on any other phone such as my SamSung Galaxy S7 it crashes. I compile it at min sdk 14 and target sdk 29. I suspect its a hardware issue but I've never seen anything like it here is my gradle configuration. Can anybody spot the issue or help me make it compatible more than just my pixel 3 phone?

Help Battery life

My s5 battery dies v quickly needing 2 charges in 24 hours. I've done all the suggested cures without success even buying a new battery in case the original was time expired.
There is a battery available with twice the 2880 mah of the original. Does any one have experience of this? Is it worth buying. It is double thickness and needs a new back panel (supplied)

How do you cancel Waze via Android Auto and voice?

When using Waze alone, you can say "cancel app" to stop navigation by using the Waze voice commands. However, using Android Auto and Waze, klingelton kostenlos
Google Assistant becomes the voice input, and I cannot figure out how to stop navigation with my voice. I've tried "stop navigation," "cancel app," exit waze, etc. The Assistant just says it can't help with that. Ideas? free ringtones download

Problems resulting from inserting a microSD card

I've recently encountered a nasty problem and I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts to share on this . . .

BACKGROUND / EXPLANATION · · · · · sorry 'bout the length of this section . . .

While the phone was off, I inserted a 256GB microSD card into my phone which was already running at over 90% of Internal Storage capacity.
Having done a little research, I had already decided to not integrate the SD card into Internal Storage space and so, I performed no formatting operation at all.
I simply turned the phone back on (now, with the SD card inserted) and then used a file management app (ES File Manager Pro) to move a few {directories} of my own creation, from Internal Storage onto the microSD card:
— {$·Data}
— {$·Media} ... note: `{,}´ are not part of the actual directory names
— {zz·Bkup}

I also moved a system-created directory, {Download} onto the SD card. Note: this might have been a mistake — and one that has contributed to my ensuing problems (see "…KICKER" below). Also, I renamed it to {z·Download}.
Next, I examined the contents of the newly inserted SD card and found that in addition to the four directories I had moved, there were two additional ones that were copied — not by any intentional action on my part — onto the SD card: {Android} and {misc}. You can see a listing of these folders and their contents HERE.

Two things may be worth noting: (1) None of the SD card directories contained any actual files — just empty subdirectories; (2) the SD card subdirectories listed under {Android/data} are a small subset of those from the analogous location within Internal Storage.

HERE'S THE KICKER !! – Yup... this is the exciting part . . . but not in a good way . . .

Just about immediately, Google Play Store stopped working — followed thereafter by various other applications failing to run; they'd start but then immediately crash. Fork!!! (ref: "The Good Place" )

I've given some thought to what might be involved in getting my phone back to normal and have considered that it might require a factory reset, etc. And this may still happen (as a way to have a workable backup phone at the ready). But for now, I've decided to go ahead and get a new phone, since I've maxed out the Internal Storage on my htc·10. Later today, I'll take delivery of an htc·U11, into which I plan to put that same 256GB microSD card.

So, you see, it seems like a good idea to get some kind of handle on what happened, so as to prevent it from happening to my new U11.

Anyway, thanks for reading this and if you have any hypotheses regarding what went wrong, I'll be all ears ... er, rather, "all eyes" and of course, I'll be most appreciative.

Thanks again,
—Thri

Help with Flashing Firmware

I recently bought a S8 Plus from China.
However this version does not include google play store, apps and It's in android 8.0
I wish to update this to android 9.0 and to the hong kong version however it's not letting me
it keeps saying security check failed: pit when I try to flash it. I even tried to flash the original firmware that was on the S8 Plus but it still doesn't work.

Tmobile Revvl 2/Revvl Plus 2 Owners?

So for those of you that know me from XDA, you'll probably know that I failed miserably at delivering content for the original 1st gen Revvl and Revvl Plus. I think I let a lot of people down in that small community. But after my recent successes with the Vortex Synq and Orbic Wonder, I want to give this another try with the new knowledge I've obtained since then

I've got a few tricks up my sleeve I didn't have before, and I want to have a Round 2 against this Revvl lineup. I don't own this phone because I don't have Tmobile, but if anyone's willing to take the risk that owns one of these phones and wants to potentially make some cool stuff for it, let me know and we can work together to try and get something happening. Obviously I can't guarantee anything, but it's worth a try... hey, even if all we can get is root or TWRP, that's still a whole lot better than nothing

Working with test/beta/production websites

I'm working on a project that communicates with a web API. I have a localhost I've been working with so far, and I have the base url defined in a configs.xml resource file:
Code:
<string name="base_url">http://10.0.2.2/</string>
The website has a test. and beta. subdomain, so a live test would need
Code:
<string name="base_url">http://test.example.com/</string>
What I'm wondering is: how do I make this something I can easily configure for different builds, other than manually changing this value for each build?

Discover app doesn't open when notifications are pressed

When I get an alert from Discover and press the notification, nothing happens. It should fire up the Discover app, and then [after logging in] take me to whatever the alert was about.

I've deleted its cache--nothing, then cache and data--nothing, then uninstalled and reinstalled--still nothing.

I didn't have this issue on the identical phone this one replaced.

Landscape headache

Okay unless I am watching music videos or a movie, I keep my phone on portrait mode.
Over the last week or so I will turn off the auto rotation after I am done watching what ever but then a few minutes I will go to use my phone and it's back in landscape mode.
I will check and make sure the auto rotation off.
So far restarting the device has solve the issue.
Unfortunately while it seemed to be occurring sporadically
The last few days it's been occurring more frequently and to complicate matters my device has begun to freeze up each time this has happened over the last day or so.
Not sure what is causing the problem
