What's your favorite YouTube Channels?

Hey so I'm interested to know what are some of your favorite youtube channels. right now i am extremely addicted to Sailing La Vagabonde. It is about a young Australian couple. the boy early on bought a sail boat (La Vagabonde) and sailed to the Greek Island and ended up meets a beautiful girl Australian there. He ended up asking her top sail with him......and 4 or 5 years later they are sailing around the world together.

for the past week or so i have been binge watching and have been living vicariously through them. it has always been my dream to float around the world like they are doing. i am very glad that i can live it out thru them. i would highly recommend that you check them out.
this is their first video :

so right now this is my favorite.......what is yours?

Help Is there a Nokia 7.1 user who would help me capture a dl link to a new OTA update?

My Nokia 7.1 got bricked after the latest OTA update, and capturing the link to the upcoming one, downloading it and installing it manually via the recovery mode seems to be the only way to fix my phone without factory resetting it.

This is probably a long shot, but is there anyone who is familiar with ADB and Fastboot and would be willing to help me?

Context = NullPointerException error

I am doing a tutoria to build an Instagram app. The tutorial is about two years old and I am having some problems with the coding.

I am having the following error and am not sure why.
error:
..............................................................................................................................................
java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'android.content.Context android.content.Context.getApplicationContext()' on a null object reference
...............................................................................................................................................
My UniversalImageLoader class:
...............................................................................................................................................
public class UniversalImageLoader {

private static final int defaultImage = R.drawable.ic_android;
private Context mContext;

public UniversalImageLoader(Context context) {
mContext = context;
}

public ImageLoaderConfiguration getConfig(){
//File cacheDir = StorageUtils.getCacheDirectory(mContext);
ImageLoaderConfiguration config = new ImageLoaderConfiguration.Builder(mContext)//<--the error is in this line
.memoryCacheExtraOptions(480, 800) // default = device screen dimensions
.diskCacheExtraOptions(480, 800, null)
.threadPriority(Thread.NORM_PRIORITY - 2) // default
.tasksProcessingOrder(QueueProcessingType.FIFO) // default
.denyCacheImageMultipleSizesInMemory()
.memoryCache(new LruMemoryCache(2 * 1024 * 1024))
.memoryCacheSize(2 * 1024 * 1024)

.imageDownloader(new BaseImageDownloader(mContext)) // default
.defaultDisplayImageOptions(DisplayImageOptions.createSimple()) // default
.writeDebugLogs()
.build();

return config;
}

............................................................................................................................................................
I use it in several activities, and call it as a function in the Activity.Class file:
............................................................................................................................................................
private void initImageLoader(){
UniversalImageLoader universalImageLoader = new UniversalImageLoader(mContext);
ImageLoader.getInstance().init(universalImageLoader.getConfig());
}

.............................................................................................................................................................
and in OnCreate I call it like this:
.............................................................................................................................................................
initImageLoader();
............................................................................................................................................................

any information and help will be highly appreciated....I've read about solutions but nothing makes sense...

Wear OS update - now has annoying semi-circle

I just got the new "tiles" update, or whatever it is - and now I have a constant orange semi-circle on the right side of my Nixon Mission watch. Can't find any setting to get rid of it, but it is annoying that it is always there on my watchface. Any ideas? Thanks!

EDIT: Nevermind! It apparently just stays until you use it as a "tutorial". A reboot after using it will get rid of it.

Missing features from Gestures

Hi all,
I've just bought a new phone a OUKITEL C15 PRO from Amazon that has Android 9 Pie
getting to grips with the different o/s, my current phone is a Galaxy Ace with Android 2.x :D

Looking through some sites about the new features, one being Swipe Up from Home, yet when I go into my phones for gestures there is only
Jump to camera
Prevent ringing

I've tried a wireless update and it says I am up to date.

Not a ball breaker, but curious as to why it was not there.

EG, I had to find out how to enable Developer Mode as it was not present by default anymore.

TIA

Oh Crap - Amazon as a Carrier

https://www.xda-developers.com/sprint-tmobile-merger/

Granted this is only speculation and nothing has officially happened yet, but I don't know whether to be excited or scared if this whole ordeal gets approved and it goes through

Considering how huge they already are, they'd probably offer even cheaper cell service than Boost under Sprint could. I wonder if they'd leave Boost as is or try to convert it into some Amazon carrier. Hell, maybe they'd give further discounts to Prime users, how cool would that be. Maybe they'd expand it to more bands too, since Boost wouldn't be stuck as an MVNO under Sprint anymore, it would be "its own thing" now. This has some serious potential to be both cheaper and better service wise. You Boost Bois might really have something to look forward to

Of course, you guys probably know me by now and that's not what I'm concerned with. Assuming Amazon actually takes over Boost and turns it into "their own thing" this could spell disaster for Boost Motorolas, one of the modding community's best kept secrets. Amazon already has their own line of smartphones they sell subsidized through their site. Would this mean the ad-riddled Prime Phones would get locked down network-wise to whatever Boost would become? Imagine not only having your brand new G7 locked down to Boost, but being forced to have ads and even more bloat plastered all over the thing. "No problem, I'll just use the patent pending @bcrichster workaround to get myself some custom ROMs and unlock the network", you think to yourself. About that... Prime Phones are locked down bootloader wise and offer absolutely no way to unlock it, period. A lot of people found this out the hard way when Amazon first did this to the Moto G4 (with the exception of a few people who got their phones shipped to them so early that they sent them through Moto's unlocking program before Amazon had a chance to tell Moto to not allow them to do it). This has long since been patched though. Unless a major software exploit is found deep in Motorola's code, you're SOL. Thankfully his patent pending workaround also works on Sprint Motorolas, so let's hope Sprint stays the way they are so it's not totally obsolete

...But wait, along with this Boost deal Sprint would be becoming T-Mobile. If they transition to Tmobile's GSM network rather than Sprint's CDMA, that could severely limit the usefulness of a "bootleg unlocked Sprint Moto" since Sprint/TMO would have no need for CDMA band support in their Moto variants. If this goes through, the chances seem high that modders are very much screwed

Let's hear some thoughts, maybe there's something I missed

Android Studio and Floating Point values.

Is it the case thaqt Android Studio programs, when compiled, build, installed, and run
on Android Smartphones, do experience floating point denormal or pronormal value
inclusion?

For example, what will the following code do, evaluate to true, or false?

double a = 0.1;
double b = 0.1;
double x = a*b;
out.println(x == 0.01);

If the final line produces false, is there a switch for the compiler or runtime that developers
can use to make denormal and pronormal discrepencies simply go away,
for cases that are like this, involving float and double? If so, what is that said switch?
Can someone in the know with all these things kindly reply to me here?

Another battery Issue

After talking to customer service, I took my phone to an authorized repair center. My battery has expanded and bent the front and back glass and the phone was separated in it shell case. Phone works fine but was no longer water resistant. I have alway keep my phone on Samsung's wireless charger stand and from the repeat fast charging it has caused damage to the battery and caused it to expand. Samsung say that should not have happen. Repair center stated to unplug stand when charging is complete. Phone is 3 month out of warranty so $300 later I now am poorer but wiser. At least it didn't explode.

WhatsApp blurred photos on new phone

On my new phone (identical to the old one, Moto Z² Force Edition, Oreo 8.0.0), I restored my WhatsApp backup. It successfully restored all my chats, complete with embedded pics and videos.

However, some of the older pics display blurred; they have a button with an arrow and a very small size, like 200 or 500Kb. Pressing the button yields an error message that 'download failed,' the media file appears to be missing, and ask the sender to resend it.

xScreenshot_20190531.jpg


BUT! The media files exist, in the correct WA subdirectory. They're full size there.

It's like an index or database needs to be rebuilt or something.

Any ideas?

Ready to Root. Advice?

Ready to root this phone.
Been a while since I used ODIN panel, so I thought I'd see what the latest info was.
My phone is an AT&T Galaxy S7 Edge variant. SM G935A

Questions.
1: Will it get rid of the AT&T bootup logo and sound?
2: Will it get rid of the Security Notice "Unauthorized actions have been detected" messages?
3: Will it make the phone work with other carriers such as MetroPCS?

Thanks!
