How to hide Screenshot folder in Gallery

C
I have a .nomedia file in the folder. Any file in the folder previous to adding it is hidden, but new screenshots are visible in the gallery. I can make these files hidden by renaming them, but would like to skip this procedure entirely. Hiding the folder does no good, as any new screenshots are added to a new folder which is visible. How can I make it so that any new screenshots that are taken are hidden in the gallery, just like the older/renamed files?

I would prefer to do this without using any apps (other than a file explorer), if possible.

Disable Bixby Voice - S8 Android 9

B
The procedure as documented here https://www.androidcentral.com/how-completely-disable-bixby does not describe my experience with Bugby.

The Bixby Home Settings menu offers only 'Customization Service' and 'About'.

'Customization Service' swipes to a list of apps.

'About' is informational only.

I would like to disable Bixby altogether but will be happy if I can disable only voice wake up so that I can use voice shoot on the camera.

Phone randomly restarts and WiFi Not working (No networks detected)

J
Ok so I was having boot loop issues with this phone until by one miracle it managed to start up somehow. When it did I went into the settings and realized the WiFi had no longer worked. Then I realized there was no MAC address for the wireless and it wasn’t detecting any wireless networks. Then all of a sudden it reboots again for no reason. It just keeps rebooting, goes to the home screen, then about 2 minutes later it reboots again. Is there anything that can be done to save this phone? The model is the z970 zmax.

Running using lower target SDK

K
Hi,
I am running AS 3.4.1 (latest) and my app is launched on the device which has Android API 28.

However, I have setup my manifest and my gradle file for my app (it is sync'd) to targetSDK 26.

When I run my app, I choose my device as the target. I read the SDK which prints 28 using this code and printing it on the screen:

`AndroidAPIver = Build.VERSION.SDK_INT;`

What should I do so my app runs with targetSDK 26 on my phone?
I followed a guide like this (I found a cpl like that) but it did not work: https://abhiandroid.com/androidstudio/change-api-sdk-level-android-studio.html

Default Speakerphone Change

J
Hi folks, I was having trouble with a bluetooth headset and did something stupid... I accidentally selected S Voice as the default speakerphone on my S5. Dumb, dumb.... I just want to get back to the original setting which is pressing speakerphone and having it come out of the speaker. But I can't find any info that shows where the default is stored and what the default app would be. Any help would be appreciated.

Best, JRH

What NOW

J
So now GOOGLE is going to comply with the US ban and restriction on HUAWEI'S future android phones with end support for Gmail, YouTube, play store,etc and no upgrade to future upgrades/support for new android OS's. There's been no mention about HUAWEI devices for us in Canada? So far they've been saying that current passed devices will work and function as usual. I just got the P30PRO. Why isn't there any mention about devices used in Canada? How is this ban going to affect us? Should I get rid of my device now?

Aristo 2 Problems with Pictures and App

T
Hello!

I have an LG Aristo 2 that I've had for about a year. I had no problems with it until recently when I went abroad and purchased a temporary local Sim card (from Vodafone in Italy). As soon as the trip was over and I was back in the US I removed the Sim card and put my original card back in.

Since then, I have been unble to take pictures with my phone. If I try taking a picture I get a "cannot save" notification. I also have a few grayed out apps that were working prior to the trip. I cannot click on these apps and when I try to reinstall I get error notifications that they cannot be installed. I've tried rebooting my phone and clearing the cache however I'm still having problems.

I have no idea if these problems are related to the Vodafone Sim card or not, but my phone worked just fine prior to the trip, and on the trip itself.

Any advice would be much appreciated!

Apps won't load on new phone

JoeMammyBfammyTammy
Had to go out and buy a new phone.

Old phone Samsung Galaxy J7 Sky
New phone Samsung Galaxy J7 Crown

There are 2 apps which I use to process transactions. I log in with my credentials to the Play Store and select the apps. Screen tells me they're already installed. They're not.

I click the button which says they're installed. It takes me to a screen which says they will download "soon".

Well soon has come and gone by a long shot.

Question about Parking app

markdoc
I was going through my phone and discovered a running app named "Parking Assistant". I looked under my installed apps and it wasn't there. I have no idea how it started or what it does. I finally found it under System apps but I still can't figure out how it got started or what it does. I don't own a car and only use Uber or Lyft. Any information would be appreciated.

Settings menu background

Nick HL
I can't really believe I'm asking this but I feel like I'm just going round in circles!

A while ago I picked a completely unsuitable background which I applied to everything. I changed it pretty quickly because I couldn't read any text but for some reason it has remained the background to my settings menu only.

This makes every single menu option illegible!

I've changed the background to my lock screen and home screen multiple times since then with no issue but the settings background always remains the same.

I use Microsoft Launcher personally, but have gone back to Samsung's UI briefly today to see if it makes any difference and it doesn't.

Help!

N
Hi Can you please tell me how to save image in phone internal storage. means if the phone has no SDcard how to store the image?
this is my code but image is saving in external storage.
Code: 
ContextWrapper cw= new ContextWrapper( getApplicationContext() );
        File directory = cw.getDir( "imgDir",Context.MODE_APPEND );
        File destination= new File( directory,"capture_01.bmp" );
       
        ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        image.compress( Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, bytes );
        long filesizeinBytes = image.getByteCount();
        long fileSizeInKB = filesizeinBytes / 1024;

        FileOutputStream fo;
        try {
            fo = new FileOutputStream( destination );
            fo.write( bytes.toByteArray() );
            fo.close();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            //TODO REMOVE TOASTMESSAGE

        try {
            MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage( context.getContentResolver(),destination.getAbsolutePath(),destination.getName(),null );
            context.sendBroadcast( new Intent(
                    Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_SCANNER_SCAN_FILE,Uri.fromFile( destination )
            ) );
        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

        long filesizeinBytes = image.getByteCount();
        long fileSizeInKB = filesizeinBytes / 1024;

        FileOutputStream fo;
        try {
            fo = new FileOutputStream( destination );
            fo.write( bytes.toByteArray() );
            fo.close();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
