Accessories Android Box to access W10 shared folder

Hi all,

am looking for an Android box that will be able to read JPGs and MP4 on a Windows PC using Wi-Fi. The box will then display them on a TV. There are a lot of android box on the market but am looking for one with an Android OS which will be able to support a File Manager like ES file explorer or another paid App. The App should be able to use it's built-in media player to play the files one after the other.

I know ES file explorer just stops after playing a file and will not automatically read the next files.

Help S10 Plus: Keyboard lags after unlocking screen

Hi there,
After my Galaxy S10 Plus was updated to newest June firmware, I have annoying problem with the keyboard (all kind of keyboard: samsung, google, swipe,…). When I unlock the phone, and immediately (within 1 – 2 seconds after unlocking) type words, the keyboard lags and takes 2 – 3 seconds to appear.
For specific situation, when I am on chat screen, the keyboard is showing up, and then I turn off screen. After the phone is unlocked, the screen is still on chat screen, but keyboard doesn’t show up (like it is forced to disappear when the phone is locked). After that, when I immediately click to input words to continue chatting, the keyboard takes times to appear and shows some lagging.
It doesn’t happen when I wait a little bit after unlocking phone, or when I use phone for a while. I didn’t met this problem before.
I tried several methods like hard reset, clear cache data, etc, but it is ineffective.
Please help me to solve this problem.
Thank you so much.

Charging Fix for CoolUI 8.1

So I've a Coolpad Note 3 Lite and I've installed CoolUI 8.1 Reborn Marshmallow. Everything's fine except the charging. When i start charging there's no indication and the power button stops working. I have to force restart every time by pressing the power button. The site I downloaded from, they said that the battery isn't calibrated and all I have to do is to drain to 0% and switch off and charge to 100%. The problem will be solved but that doesn't work whenever I install it. I need that patch or fix or the original OS without any bugs.

Fingerprint Unlock & Google Pay

Hi All

When I wish to make payment using Google Pay, I unlock my Galaxy S5 by fingerprint and hold it over PayWave terminal. Once transaction is completed I close (lock) my phone.

My issue is that, while this works fine, every few transactions, as I hold phone over PayWave terminal, the phone asks me to enter my backup password. Once I enter my fingerprint backup password the phone displays "Try Again" and the PayWave transaction then works fine.

This unnecessary step (since no one else can unlock with my fingerprint) is frustrating. This doesn't seem to happen to others I know.

Since I reverted to unlocking my phone with a PIN, PayWave transactions work every time without requesting my backup password.

However, I would prefer to use fingerprint security.

Has anyone experienced or heard of this issue?

Would appreciate any advice.

Thanks!

Using Home Key to Answer Call on S5

Hi all, I have an Galaxy S5 which is running Resurection Remix 6.0 (8.0 Oreo) and is using the default Google Dialer app. I can't find an option to answer a call using my home key as all the guides online only cover Samsung's One UI stock phone dialer, not Google's. I've checked all the Accessiblity and Phone app settings but can't find an answer. Can anyone help please?

Leelbox error No Video Input on Live TV

we recently bought 3 Leelbox devices for our 3 TVs at home. We are paying for Soplayer content, however when trying to watch Live TV, it will work for a little while and then we get a screen that says "No Video Input". Sometimes we just get the error and it won't play live tv at all. We even upgraded our wifi thinking it would help, however the only one that works perfectly is physically plugged into the wifi box. Any ideas? I am leaning towards returning them all.

Help Strange data connection problem

I as you saw have a Samsung j7 issue. I am on the boost mobile network. It will show that I have 4 out of 5 bars signal. A google speed test will show that I'm getting between 20 mb/s to sometimes 40. I can load websites just fine. In most cases I can load videos fine. The problem is any of the games apps that are on the phone. All of them say network error .I have cleared cache for entire phone from a boot screen. I have cleared cache for the games I try loaded . I just dont understand why it wont load when I have a great connection

Clerk said my s8 is HOT

I financed and paid off an s8 through Verizon and went to get it activated through one of these secondary carriers
The clerk swapped sims and told me it's a t-mobil and has a code on it blocking activation like its stolen!
I've heard some places can have this cleared but I bought an s9 anyway so now I'm just trying to sell the damn thing.
Just don't need any hassle if i send it to an outfit that buys online.
Btw looking for who pays the most.
Thanks

Recording options

You know what would be a great idea some one probably stupid is going to reject?

It would be great to have the programmers come up with a way to turn the "Power and volume down button" options but instead, "Power and volume up" in to a screen shot recording option.
Similar to powet button volume down for screen shots (i have to explain in detail or people will find a way to not understand this)
But instead..power button + volume button up to create recording on screen.

SO..if we want to record something on our screen, that makes it a lot EASIER.

Thanks i know..

[FREE][GAME] Heroes and Merchants - a free Fantasy Crafting MMOG

You like the good old browser games? We also! That's why we've developed Heroes and Merchants. It is a fantasy-crafting MMOG in the style of the old browser games with new interactive content.

Heroes and Merchants is a hobby project of me and my wife. Now we wish that it continues to fill with life and many players enjoying it!

"Heroes and Merchants" is completely free-to-play!
Playstore: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oliverbohnes.hm


What is the game content?
The game plays in a fantasy world, which was ravaged by rulers of dangerous monsters. The player can recruit heroes and do missions. For this he receives raw materials from which he can produce weapons and armor.


What additional game elements does HaM contain?
Players can team up in guilds, complete guild tasks, summon raid bosses and compete against other players in real-time duels. They can benefit from the guild shop and buffs.
There is the possibility to improve the craftsmen (influence the quality of the goods, selling price, production time).
Heroes have special abilities that can be selected, increased and actively played in duels.
There are also chat areas per language and guild.



What makes Heroes and Merchants special?

The special feature of HaM is in any case the optical design. Because unlike most of today's games here is not set to digital glossy graphics. All the graphics in the game are handdrawn, the music has also been composed especially for the game. Also, the gameplay is not based on one effect chasing the other - the game gives a touch of nostalgia after the old days of browser games.


We need you!
Since the game is free-to-play, and even just a hobby project, we do not have the financial resources, like big game companies, to use expensive advertising. The game is known only by you! If you like it, please download the game from the store, write a review and recommend it to your friends. Or just give us feedback here.

Data loss after restart

Device is Samsung Galaxy Tab A 7.0 (2016) 4G LTE (SM-T285), running Android 5.1.1 (Lollipop), without root.

Device suddenly lost network coverage (not the first time), and flight mode did not solve it (not the first time, also), and the only way usually was to restart (power off/on).

Usually that would solve the problem.

This time, the same thing happened, and upon restarting the device, it spent a long time at the Samsung logo/splash screen (which is abnormal), and when it finally reached the lock screen, it took a while before the entire screen was loaded (wallpaper appeared first, then the time...). Upon entering into the home screen, some (not all) widgets were missing (noticeably the custom downloaded ones).

Opened the usual apps to pick up from where I left off, and those apps ran as though it was the first time (as if it was just installed). App data (that was stored on internal storage) was lost. Other data (SMS, pictures) were intact.

My immediate concern/focus right now is to recover the lost data, either by fixing this abnormality (safe mode/guest mode, maybe?), and if that fails, at least recover the lost data (preferably without requiring root).

Any ideas?
