Hi there. I just bought a new Android box, the MX10 pro.

I have 50 mbps download speed wifi in the house and speedtest verified this is the speed that most devices are downloading at.

Somehow on my MX10 pro, the speed is only 10 mbps. This caused lag when streaming HD content.

Hope to get some help..

Here recently I've been getting ads on my phone whenever I open my apps, it's only been for auto boost so far but has become annoying because it opens in multiple windows at once that I have to close before I can continue. Any ideas how I could fix this? I've tried clearing my cache, deleting apps, and restarting my phone but nothing seems to work. I dont want to factory reset it unless I have to...please help *screenshots attached*

I am on my second 42mm watch with this issue. When new, if I normally pushed the top button it responds. After a week I have to press much more firmly to get a response. I swapped my first watch out after two weeks. Now my new one is exhibiting the same behaviour after one week.

Do all of these watches do this? I know I can swap or spin the dial to move around but if I want to use the button to go to the watch home screen it should work.

Any similar experiences? I like the watch and the battery is incredible compared to my old S2. Just wonder if this is how they all are.
Thanks,

Hi,

Now don't shoot, boo or hiss at me when I say that I used to have and android phone back in the early days and my last 3 phones have all been iphones. As such a fair proportion of my media on iTunes is from the iTunes stores and has DRM on it.

I'm now very strongly considering upgrading back to an android phone (Samsung Galaxy A50) and ditching the Apple brand.

What I was wondering is there any easy way that I can play DRM protected songs and audiobooks on an android phone. Is there an app on the play store or will I have to buy some program and manually strip the DRM from the media??

what do you guys think?


do you agree?

i mean 2 week battery life.......that's crazy!!!!!

Hey there . I am new to this forum and i do know how they work so i'll just get straight to the point .
So this morning my lil bro was using my phone . he downloaded almost half of the games play store has to offer ( he spent about 60 of my 128GB of storage ) in one morning . I don't know if this really has to do with the problem , but i thought it was a system overload or something . Btw my phone is a Google pixel 2 , i have had it for around a year and 3 months ... the same problem happened to my samsung J5 in 2017 ... but i couldn't fix it ...

Anyway at around 1pm the battery died , i put it in charge and me being stupid i turned on the phone instantly since my bro was whining . I gave it to him and told him to use it while it was plugged in . Of course , he didn't listen .. he took it out .. potentially breaking the charger and then using it to download the remaining half of the play store .. the battery died within 8 minutes .. i told him just to leave the phone ... later around 3pm i tried to use the phone . Sadly it didn't turn on ... i was confused , usually my phone would be around 70% at the least by now ... i tried checking if it was unplugged or something .. i tried checking if the charger was broken .. everything ...


Around 7 I lost all hope .. for three damn hours i tried everything ... i was gonna contact support but guess what .... i don't have a phone to use due to my brother using it like there was no tomorrow . And apparently they are good for nothing .
So i will now explain what is happening . i have tried many solutions on YouTube and none of them worked . But i don't know how somehow after countless hours of trial and error i turned on the phone .. i was so excited i didn't think of at least putting on a battery saver or safe mode ... it turned of instantly . anyway so i tried the thing where you have to reboot it and stuff and nothing worked .. when i try to go the boot menu using power button and the volume up/ down it doesn't take me to the boot menu . instead it pops up the battery logo and disappears a second after .. i'm not really sure how to turn it off completely but when i finally get on the boot menu , i click on recovery mode and it goes through a mini BSOD / boot loop and goes back ... i really cannot live without my phone .. please reply with a adequate answer ASAP.. do i need a new charger ... is it a problem with my hardware or software .... So basically my phone won't turn on anymore ...
My phone is Inevitable , i can't live without it lmao ....

How to restrict users from taking screenshots, copying texts, using internet and etc except for reading downloaded PDFs on the device?

So the weather my Chromecast shows doesn't seem to be that of my location. The temperature it shows is quite higher than what it actually is here. My best guess is that it uses the IP address to know my location. My IP address shows a place that is way too far from where I am. Is there a way to let the Chromecast know where I actually am? Like, by using the GPS in my phone?

Hi

I am new to Android development (but not to development).

I have read most of Android Programming for Beginners 2nd edition by John Horton, and I have Android Studio v. 3.4.1.

I am trying to create my first app. My app will take a couple of input figures, do some calculations and provide a result.

I have the layout and I have started on the code and it all works as far as it goes, but I am struggling to fathom out how to get the input values to use in the calculations.

This is my code. Can anyone help, please? Thanks.

package domain.com.myfirstapp;

import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.CheckBox;
import android.widget.EditText;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

@override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

final EditText editSPrice = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText2);
final EditText editPPrice = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText3);

Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button);

button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View view) {
doCalculations();
}
});
}

void doCalculations() {
Log.i("info", "In doCalculations");
// get inputs ** this is where I'm stuck **
}
}

How did this nuclear war TV series end?

Until very recently my SD card has worked fine but now it cannot have data be written to it. I have tried on both the device and on my computer. I can still read all the data on it. I'm running on Android 8 (Oreo). I have recently renamed the drive, it's formatted as internal storage.

This person has been harassing me for several years, and until recently it was limited to facebook posts and bogus complaints to my job, but the last several days they have called my phone 800+ times from a private, hidden, or blocked number.

That's not a typo. Eight HUNDRED phone calls.

It is a woman doing most of it, though it sounds like she has her friends in on it. She's left multiple voicemails telling me to kill myself, that I'm worthless, etc. It's really sick.

I have tried changing my number, but because I use the number for my family's business, she simply finds the new number and starts again, and in the meantime, I lose business.

Is there any app that will actually unmask private numbers, or block them and keep them from going to voicemail?

I tried going to the phone company and they blocked spam calls, but all the private numbers are still coming through.

Every app I try, has some failing. One of them, I was unable to make or receive calls while she was calling, my phone would simply hang up in the middle of the conversation.

Please help. My father is in a nursing home and I need to be able to get ahold of his carers. My business depends upon my phone working.

Hey,
Does anyone know if of a tutorial on how to install UK and US apps on the same firestick? I'm in the US and want to install iplayer, ITV hub, and what not. I have a smart DNS running on a merlin router which is capable of routing the traffic accordingly. I also have a valid UK amazon account, so I can download the UK apps, but when I re-register the firestick to install the US apps, it greys out iplayer and gives the message "you do not own this app."
Thanks ppl

Hi, I have a new Samsung Galaxy S10+ along with a number of other Android devices (kindle, other android phones, etc). I've also recently purchased the Anker PowerWave Pad (A2503).

Can you recommend an Anker power supply that's appropriate for this? What is the amperage that's needed to charge using "Fast charging"? Does this support "super fast charging" wirelessly?

I have a number of 2A chargers, including a Samsung 5.3V/2A charger (EP-TA10JWE). Is that sufficient?

This page says the S10+ supports "super fast charging" as well as Power Delivery. Am I reading that right?
https://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/galaxy-s10/specs/

I also have the Anker PowerPort 2 (A2141), but that does not appear to be sufficient to fast-charge wirelessly. This is 2.4A per port. I thought 2A per port would be sufficient for fast charging?

If I purchased the PowerPort 2 with power delivery, would I be able to have the USB port connected to the powerpad *or* the USB-C port (PD port) connected to the phone for super fast charging when needed?
https://www.anker.com/products/variant/powerport-ii-with-power-delivery/A2321121

If someone could help me understand the current charging methods that are best for the S10+, I'd appreciate it. I also have a number of older chargers. What is the minimum that is useful? I'm ready to toss some of the old 1A/500ma chargers. I'm not even sure they work with current kindle's, etc.

Help. I can't access system UI apps such as:
Theme Manager
Settings
Dialler

I think this was an EMUI 5.0 theme that I applied on EMUI 4.0

Usually it's fine, and goes over the most stuff that could cause an issue, but this time around it seems that the shell just doesn't fit at all.

Suddenly, when I want to access my files I was asked for access to everything, including location. I don't want Google to know my location all the time! if anyone else is experiencing this problem, I urge you to contact Android to complain. Every time I click on files it brings up a screen where I'm asked to give access to my location!

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?

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?

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

If one has many Visual Voicemails, and then changes phones but keeps the same phone number and stays on MetroPCS, will all the Visual Voicemails re-appear when launching the VV app?
