Help!!

I just got this phone last night, im not sure what apps i really need and what apps i can stop/disable because i dont need to take up storage for stuff i do not know. Please HELP!!! I'm not tech savvy at all so please be patient n explain like I am in kindergarten. TIA

Battery isn't great.

So I always complain about battery life. I can never en to get good battery life from any phone I get. I've tried everything. I don't believe that a flagship phone only has a battery life of 14 hours. Putting it in battery save mode defeats the purpose of buying a 'great' phone. I'm not really a power user. I don't watch that many videos. I don't play games. To have the phone use 25% in 3 hours is ridiculous. I have done factory resets, disabled bloatware, etc. Arghhhh. Any ideas? If not at least I get to rant. 😜

[FREE][APP] Toilet Notes - Place Sticky Notes On a Toilet

Hi, I have a new app on the Google Play store. Here is the link to the google play listing if you want to check it out:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.HCApps.ToiletNotes

This is an easy to use, fun, and interactive note taking app. You write short notes on a sheet of toilet paper and stick it on a toilet. You can also choose to write longer notes (500 words max) that can be brought up by clicking. There are also goofy things like dancing poop that can keep you entertained. Unlock new toilets if you are bored of the same one.

Help Unable to print from web page using DuckDuckGo

I post here in desperation, recognising this is a browser/search engine issue but I have elicited no responses at https://www.reddit.com/r/duckduckgo.
I installed version 5.24.0 DuckDuckGo Privacy Browser on my wife's recently purchased Samsung Galaxy Tab A tablet because I have used it on our mobile 'phones and my desktop PC for many years.
Opening, as an example, BBC Food and a recipe, tapping "Print recipe" has no effect. Selecting Share... then Wi-Fi Direct from the action overflow three-dot menu identifies my DIRECT-52-ENVY 5640 series printer that is acknowledged on the printer display with "successfully connected to mobile device" when tapped. Nothing further occurs.
I discovered the culprit is DuckDuckGo browser. The print facility works directly in Chrome, tapping "Print recipe" in the case of BBC Food, or "Share..." in the action overflow three-dot menu followed by tapping the "Print" icon in the "Share via" window that displays.
I wonder whether anyone can shed light on this issue?

Help Treatment by Android of .mov and .mp4 files

I purchased a Samsung Galaxy Tab A for my wife in April. I set myself the task of transferring her pictures and videos from her superseded iPad mini and Motorola Moto G 4G 'phone into a new folder structure on the Samsung tablet. I find such operations far simpler to carry out in conjunction with my desktop PC.
I decided to place videos into the same folders as the static images so that everything relating to one holiday, say, was in the same location, rather than duplicating the whole folder structure for videos. I do not know whether this is an accepted practice.
I believe the videos on the mobile 'phone and WhatsApp images, for example, are in .mpg format. It seems that video images from the iPad mini are in .mov format*. The .mpg4 files show as picture thumbnails on the tablet but the .mov files as icons only, which is somewhat frustrating.
I wonder if others share this experience and whether anything constructive might be done to overcome it

* Is .mov an Apple format only, or does it occur elsewhere?

Huawei P30 Pro first day battery drain. Is it normal?

Hello guys.

I just bought today my p30 pro.

I opened it and the battery was at 64%.

I setup my phone etc for some time and the batterywent after some hours to 50%.

Then I put the phone aside and picked it up after about an hour and the battery was at 42%.

Nothing was happening at the background, no downloading no synching etc.

Is it something normal because it was the first usage of the phone after opening it? After the first fully charge I will give it, is it something that will not happen again?

Thanks in advance.

Missing Photos?

Hi! I was wondering if there is a way to recover missing photos on my phone? so yesterday i was clearing out and organizing things in my phone's internal memory. My phone was connected to the computer since i find it much easier to organize using it. There was this one folder containing at least a thousand and five hundred photos that i moved from one folder into the DCIM folder but still inside my internal memory. so i cut, then pasted the folder inside the DCIM folder. the problem is it was taking so long, the loading bar is not making progress at all, when normally moving folders around lasted for like seconds even with bigger sized folders. so i decided to cancel the move. then next thing i know the folder went missing. so i pulled out my phone off the computer and checked. I looked into my gallery and my folder showed up, but there were two of them. the one containing 999 photos and the other containing only twelve. i checked my files folder but only one of the folder shows up. the one with the 999 photos in it. same goes when i check on my computer, the only folder that shows up is the one containing more photos. but what about the rest that went missing? and how can i get it back? really would appreciate the help.

Help LG phone problems

So a while ago, I found some LG G2x and I want to use them, the ting is that both have problems.

1. One of my G2x has a problem where if I plug in the phone to a wall and try to turn it on, it would show LG logo then the screen would turn black and it would do that repeatedly. If I unplug it, then it does not even work. It never charges and never turns on.

2. My second G2x never even charges at all, the charger fits perfectly, but nothing happens.

Any help?

Please respond if you know a possible way to fix these problems.
I want to use my G2x again.

Change Screen Sensitivity

After installing some tempered glass, i am having the age old challenge of lowered screen sensitivity on my Galaxy S8. Cant seem to find a way to change anything in settings other than changing the hardpress home button setting which as far as i can tell has done nothing. I even tried a screen calibration app that also seemed to do nothing.

Anyone know any work arounds or fixes? Maybe another app you know that works or something that can be changed at a deeper level than I have gone. (rooting???)

Appreciate any help. Thanks!

Tasker math expression does not evaluate

Hi,

I use an expression
if (%TIMES-%Offtime)
...
Endif
%TIMES = builtin variable of current time (e.g. 1560123456)
%Offtime = a variable set by me which contains an earlier time e.g. 1560000000.

which does not work, it appears that arithmetic expressions are not supported.
E.g when I log %TIMES-%Offtime then I see literally "1560123456-1560000000" instead of 123456 which is the numeric result.

Documentation of Tasker lacks anything about how to use arithmetic expressions.

How should I use them ?

keytouch vibrations are not responding to turn off

Galaxy Note 9 Last updated to N960USQS1CSD1, April 17

Sorry about the well trod question, but the answers on my google searches are not working for me.

Summary:
Attempting to turn off the slight vibration I feel when pressing keys.

Details:
I've been to `Settings' > 'Sounds and Vibrations' > 'System sounds and vibration'

Keyboard Sound OFF
Keyboard Vibration OFF
Touch Vibration OFF
But still have the key touch vibration

Apparently there are more setting involved, or something else I'm missing?

My new battery is not charging upto 100 percent

I just replaced the battery in my Lenovo K6 Power. Now my new battery isn't charging upto 100 percent. Once it reaches anywhere between 95 to 98 percent, the battery stops charging and the phone displays the "Charge complete" message. The battery is also loosing its charge much quicker than before.
The tech who changed the battery has no clue how to fix it. He had told me to charge the phone after switching it off, which didn't help. He had also suggested that I take the phone back to factory settings which again wasn't able to fix the issue. I've tried changing it using a new charger and different sockets but nothing seems to work. Please suggest how can I fix the problem?

Adding text to an imageview in a BaseAdapter

I have a BaseAdapter I am using to put up some images in a gridview which will be used for categories of a sort. When adding the adapter to the gridview I can currently only get the images to show up on my activity. I would also like to have a small text box below the image with the name of the category. So the finished grid will be something like 2x6 with an image of lets say a movie and the name of the movie under the image. My adapter code currently looks like below. What's the easiest way of adding some text below the images?

Code:
package com.example.recommended

import android.content.Context
import android.view.View
import android.view.ViewGroup
import android.widget.BaseAdapter
import android.widget.ImageView
import com.example.recommended.R
import kotlinx.android.synthetic.main.list_item.view.*

class ImageAdapter internal constructor(private val mContext: Context) : BaseAdapter() {

    // References to our images
    private val mThumbIds = arrayOf(
        R.drawable.sample_0,
        R.drawable.sample_1,
        R.drawable.sample_2,
        R.drawable.sample_3,
        R.drawable.sample_4,
        R.drawable.sample_5,
        R.drawable.sample_6,
        R.drawable.sample_7)

    override fun getCount(): Int {
        return mThumbIds.size
    }

    override fun getItem(position: Int): Any? {
        return null
    }

    override fun getItemId(position: Int): Long {
        return 0
    }

    // Create a new ImageView for each item referenced by the Adapter
    override fun getView(position: Int, convertView: View?, parent: ViewGroup): View {
        val imageView: ImageView
        if (convertView == null) {
            // if it's not recycled, initialize some attributes
            imageView = ImageView(mContext)
            imageView.layoutParams = ViewGroup.LayoutParams(300, 300)
            imageView.scaleType = ImageView.ScaleType.CENTER_CROP
        } else {
            imageView = (convertView as ImageView?)!!
        }

        imageView.setImageResource(mThumbIds[position])
        return imageView
    }
}
