Help Cannot use / turn on phone ... desperate for answers..or answers ..

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 ....

My first app - getting input values

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 can I stop harassment from blocked calls?

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.

FireStick UK and US apps

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

Understanding charging options

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 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))

.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.
