Having problems with Google widgets and dark mode.

Now that many apps are adding Android Pie's dark mode, their widgets are using whatever the system is set to. The v30 is stuck in Android Oreo for the foreseeable future and so those mode options aren't available to us yet. So, it seems like the default on the v30 is 'dark mode on' and all the widgets (calendar, search, etc.) are now black. I can't find anywhere to turn it off. Anyone know how to switch the mode to light on a v30?

Working on a Time Announcement App

Hi all!

I have a background in basic programming but still seeking help! I've downloaded & installed Android Studio, and have connected my current project to Git so I can work from my PC or Laptop. I have the general UI I have in mind laid out. This is suppose to be very basic.

Basically, I used Tasker to setup time announcements, but I wanted to code this into a designed UI tailored to how I visualized sharing this with others! All sound announcements are files of about 30-80kb in size of mp3 files. I could be optimizing this poorly to start, but I want to make headway then optimize later so I can share results sooner!

My UI consists of 2 toggle switches for 30min and 1hr intervals, a tap imageButton for preview of announcements that plays a preview mp3, and start/end time ranges where time announcements are chosen by the user.

As of right now, does my UI sound too weird and over complicated? Un-optimized? Am I on the right track or should I reconsider the code & design layout?

I appreciate any feedback! I will gladly share any code that is helpful, but I'd prefer to not share screenshots - for now!

Thank you!

Texting.

Since I traded my LG G7 ThinQ with Android 7 to the new OnePlus 7 Pro with Android Pie my text messages are not being read out loud automatically any longer. I have the Pro Version of Shouter and need this feature because I'm visually impaired. While walking with my guide dog it's not possible to pull my phone out of my pocket constantly to check if the message came from someone I need to respond to right away.

Screen Brightness Slider Doesn't Work

i have recently got a new phone, being the Alcatel 1 series model 5033t-tsau.
i have set it up, but have come across a fairly major problem.
this being that the brightness slider, both in the drop down settings menu, and in the display section of the settings on the device, do not work.
thus the screen brightness is set to and remains at full brightness.
there is no automatice brightness function that i have found to be turned on or off.

please explain whether this is a common problem, and whether there is a solution, not involving a factory reset.

No screen display - problems trying to recover files

Hi, I'm trying to recover pictures from a Samsung S8. The screen is broken and there is no display, the glass is shattered - it is completely black.

I have tried to use the Samsung 300K Tool however when the phone is plugged into my Windows pc (Windows 7), and the 300K Tool recognises the connection;

I click on the 'resistance' and it shows me that the phone is 'Samsung Mobile USB Modem' and that "Phone is in download mode now"

If I go to the Device Manager on my pc, it shows the USB Modem location as Port_#0008.Hub_#0004.
And if I navigate under Universal Serial Bus controllers, I have a listing for 'SAMSUNG Mobile USB CDC Composite Device.

I know that the drivers are up to date and I have tried disabling the modem in Device Manager.

I am assuming that the phone is acting as a modem and that this is why I cannot access the phone as a storage device to retrieve the folders and files.
The phone doesn't show up under Computer where the drives are displayed at all, and I am not getting the dialogue box to explore the phone's files when I plug it in.

Can anybody help me please? I've tried to find an answer online but because I have no screen display, I can't access the phone's settings to disable the modem from the phone.

I'm not 100% sure how to use Odin to enable usb debugging and even if I could enable the usb debugging, using Odin, is that going to solve the issue of not being able to access the file system because of the phone acting as a modem?
I'm actually not very familiar with the process of extracting data from a broken phone, other than I have managed to successfully do it once before in a very similar situation with no screen access and used Fonelab for Android but the software doesn't have a drop down listing for the Samsung S8 so the software is useless. I'm doing this for a friend.

Please, if any one can help, I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

Help Can't play videos on RR rom for MT6580

Hi everyone! I'm new here :oops:
I'm really in a bad situation right now....
I had a lot of bugs with Resurrection-Remix 5.8.5 while porting. However I had sorted them out nicely.
Except the video playback [phone soft-reboots] problem and also with recording a video through camera:(
Does anyone know a solution to this?
##################################
I want to note that the built-in screen recorder works perfectly.
I've also tried LineageOS 14.1; On which I faced no video playback problem except camera video recording.
Phone Soft-reboots while trying to play any video from any kind of source such as YT/FB app [Except the Default Cyanogenmod File Manager]...
*Both the roms are Nougat 7.1.2 based and running on 3.18.35 kernel on MT6580 chipset.
Any kind of response to this thread is highly appreciated. :)

HAVING PROBLEMS FLASHING YEZZ SMARTPHONE

I have a YEZZ smartphone that is bricked. I've tried to flash it several times via fastboot but I've gotten an error. I cannot flash it via ADB because I cannot enable the USB Debugging in order for it to register. Plus, when the device is connected to the PC it flashes (the device connects and disconnects). What can I do? Also, does anyone know how to put it in Meta Mode by using the pins on the circuit board?

Android Auto won't auto launch

Hello , when my phone connects to Bluetooth in the car it is no longer auto launching and I receive the below error. This is phone only, no head unit.

Error:. Background activity start from com.google.android.projection.gearhead blocked

Is there a way to turn it off for just Android auto or do I have to wait until the app is updated?

Moving video files automatically over wifi

Hi guys,
my friend has a Huawei phone (not sure of the model) but it's running Android 7. Every month or even less she has the same problem, out of memory messages, because the phone's memory (16GB internal, plus 64GB SD) has totally filled up with video files. She runs a dog charity and rescues many dogs from the pounds in Spain, pays all their vet bills, then finds homes for them all over Europe. She makes lots and lots of videos using her phone so she can send clips, training videos etc. to potential adoptees. She has a Dropbox account and other free cloud storage, but they are usually maxed out too. I normally archive all her free cloud storage to an external drive attached to her laptop, and the files on her phone, using Wifi File Transfer Pro, then the monthly process repeats.

What she would like (and what I would like, to save me all this work), if it is at all possible, is when she comes home after a day of making videos, and the phone connects to her home wifi system, for all the pics and videos on her phone to be automatically moved from the phone to a 5TB external storage drive attached to her laptop, also on the same wifi. This process should be automatic, preferably.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Am I the only one still perplexed to why CardView is still annoyingly bad in 2019?

I simply cannot go over the fact that CardView is still so limited in terms of shadow control. Elevation setting is the only setting for shadow and it sucks because it's too much of a general setting and literally doesn't give you any control. At this point I am very surprised Android didn't release a better version of the library where you can manually set a different shadow color, a shadow opacity, a shadow scale, a shadow roundness, a shadow blurness, shadow X and Y translation. What's your opinion on this? What other library alternatives do you have?

UK version Samsung S7 Edge

I am looking into upgrading to a S7 Edge from an S5. Looking at feedback from other purchasers who have ended up with a grey import from the US or have unknowingly been sold a European version.

I think it should be SM-G935 but some have additional letters as this SM-G930FEDANEE
Could someone let me know the correct coding for a UK phone.

Thanks
