Hi,

Last January I was able to track the movements of my android phone on a google maps page.
the map would draw an itinerary of my phone, throughout the day.

It was super handy, the map would show where the thieve went during the day.
Police looked at different CCTV footage and quickly find the the guy who stole my phone.

Today, I'm trying to look at the same information but the (google?) map no longer show the movements. It only show the current location.
(Location services are turned on)

Has anyone maybe a link to share or has Google terminated that feature?

Hi everyone,

I am using a Samsung S6. Is there a way to customize Notification sound for a specific app? So basically my point is that whenever I receive a motion detection notification on my Lorex wifi cam I want my phone to send me the loudest notification possible. But I cant seem to find a way to customize notification sound only for that app. Also at night time I turn off all notifications so is there a way to keep Lorex app notification on while my phone is on silent. I am using Android 7

Thanks

I tried to send push notification when app is killed, but app doesnot receive push notification. By researching, i came across Twilio sdk, which achieve this task. How can we achieve this without twilio sdk.

I am newbie in Android, but just need to understand how Android OS works across manufactors

As I can understand There today is the latest Android 9 (pie) version which is a basic platform. Each manufacture of a phone use this default platform, but then add their own settings and end up with a more custom OS based on their device still called "pie", but can have different changes

So if fx Google make their adjustment to Pie for their product, it means they potentially can create security issues they need to update, that other manufactures don´t have in their own adjustet Pie version

Is that correct understood ?

It is just to understand that to say that even Android no matter which manufacturer is running Pie, it does not necessarily mean that they are more secure, if there is a security issue for a given product. So as such Android 8 can be even that secure than Android 9 devices depending on how the manufacturer have made their device software

Hi all,

I'm using a Galaxy S10 (model SM-G973F) running Android V9, and have in the last few days noticed that some notifications come up with a grey background and grey text. I have also seen this in the Google Maps app, at night when the screen goes darker. When viewing alternative routes, the text to show how many minutes more or less the alternative route will take is almost unreadable as it is grey (rather than white).

See below - I'm using a local new app called NZ Herald and the notification icon comes up with a grey background and grey symbol (instead of the previous white symbol and no grey background). When the always on display dims, the notification is almost invisible to see. On my old Galaxy S7 Edge, the notification displays perfectly, in bright white text. Any ideas what could have caused this? I haven't installed any custom themes (as far as I'm aware), and not running high contrast settings or disability settings etc.

Galaxy S10:


Same notification on Galaxy S7 Edge:

I have had a Motorola Moto e4 for almost 2 years with relatively no problems. A few days ago, my phone's touch screen stops working in certain frequently pressed places on the screen. This proves to be mildly annoying, but manageable as I would just flip the phone to landscape to get past this (especially when typing). Unfortunately, my phone has finally died and after I charged it, it now asks for my password so I can log in. The thing is, I can't press one of the onscreen keyboard keys to enter my password completely, and thus cannot unlock my phone. I cannot use my fingerprint because every time my phone reboots it asks for the password. I know if I can get my landscape mode I can enter in the correct password but all my attempts (notification bar, lock screen camera) have all failed. Any help?

Hi there

Unfortunately I had to reset my phone back to stock

I want to back it up to how it was before this, but the options it is giving me are not the same as I see on Google Drive (50 apps)

What can I do?

Hi there,

Is the any way to add gifs from your camera roll to your own gifs in gboard? I know you can make gifs directly, but I don't know how you can add it from camera roll and if it is even possible..

Thanks!

Just reading the story about Caster Semenya, and it's a really tricky situation. You might think that the difference between men and women is obvious, but in some cases it's not. The boundary isn't clear cut, it's blurred. And some people fall into that 'intersex' category.
So where do you draw the line, for the purposes of creating a fair competitive environment for sports?

Chromium™
For ANDROID!


Welcome to Chromium this browser took me a bit to compile and rebuild from the commits from the Open Source Project for chromium website to ensure Chromium is up-to-date with the latest build out there.


What is Chromium?

A: Chromium was developed by Google as a base browser for developers to build and create their own browsers using chromium, not to forget to mention Google Chrome™ was also built using chromium.


What are the things that i cannot do in Chromium?

A: Well below are the following Chromium will not allow you to do:

• Sign Into any existing google account.

• View your interests you selected using a google account.

• Sync passwords & other services

Yes this is somewhat annoying but since chromium uses a different method of signing into google it just simply doesn't work.

my Note 8 got the pie update to One UI. Ever since then, I can't log in to any accoun. It will prompt me and accept the account info I type in but it gets stuck on loading into my account.

Anybody encountered this?

Galaxy S9+ running Android 9.0

I live in an area with spotty cell reception, and have just accepted the fact that I won't always have a signal. I am not looking for a way to make sure my phone is always connected to the mobile network, that just won't happen where I am.

But since the 9.0 update, any time my phone loses connection (to the mobile network, not WiFi), I get an annoying popup asking me if I want to search for a mobile network, with "OK" and "Cancel" being the only options. It also pops a notification up at the top of the screen.

It shows up over top of everything, if I'm typing it's in the middle of the keyboard. If I'm watching a video, it blocks the video.

Sometimes it is so bad that I turn on airplane mode just to get rid of it. I have accepted the fact that I will always have spotty coverage at home, but this is incredibly frustrating.

Is there any way to disable it? Would switching launchers do the trick, or is it a deeper setting?

Can anyone tell me what this heart icon is a notification for?

Hello everyone,

I'm on a Samsung Note 9 with 512G SD card - encrypted. I've moved most of the apps from *internal storage to *external SD card. I did this to all my apps one by one.

However, every time when I reboot my device. All storage of each app switched back from *external to *internal, and I have to do all the setting for each app again.

Am I not supposed to reboot the machine with external SD card? lol it sounds ridiculous. Can someone help me to make sure the storage sticks to *external?

Thank you in advance.

I have a Coolpad Note 3 Lite and I've been searching for latest OS for my phone. I saw that Android Oreo has been released for my phone, not sure about Pie, and no scatter file is released for any OS after Marshmallow. All are available in zip file. I even tried installing them by TWRP Recovery but it fails every time. Anyone can tell me how to install Nougat or Oreo?

Hi, I sim swapped to 4g. My settings support 4g. Bit how I know that I have 4g. When I changed to 3g , I have some indications like huspa besides tower symbol. Bsnl

Hey guys, ever since the Pie update, Snapchat doesn't come up on my Direct Share options. In order to share a pic in or screenshot or whatever it is, I'd have to save it in my camera row and for those with lots of stored pics like me, it is a pain to scroll through it

ANybody know how to force snapchat to show up on Direct Share/Smart Share options on Pie? I am not rooted. This is so freaking annoying. Every useless app I don't need to share stuff on shows up except Snapchat

I have two Facebook in my smartphone . Whenever I say "OK Google open Facebook" It will show up two Facebook to let's me choose...

Thanks in advance

We found a neat game called Blendoku. There is a problem, though. It's got ads and they're not even between puzzles but in them. Also, it apparently hooks up automatically to googlr games. Is there a way to defeat either of these problems without getting rid of the game?

I am trying to develop an Android app to communicate with BLE HID Device where the hid Device is the peripheral and Android phone is the central. So far I could make a Bluetooth connection and I could read the battery service and generic access service from my Android app. My code recognizes the hid service but how do I read from and write to the reports???

OnePlus have just started the Open Beta 17 & 9 OTA roll out for the OnePlus 6 & 6T to test new features and fixes that may or may not, come to future firmware updates. You will only receive this test firmware OTA if you are already on their Open Beta releases.

Camera version is now 3.0.37

This is the 9th Open Beta release for the 6T in 120 days = 1 update, on average, every 13.33 days.

(N.B. Open Beta is not available for the T-Mobile carrier minority variant)
