Sorry if this has been covered already but , again, I'm NO HACKER or COMPUTER GENIUS lol.

I found the EASIEST way to make it to where your Google Assistant voice command turns on when you click the ANNOYING BIXBY BUTTON lol.

Let me know if you're interested in this? Lol

My friend's phone isn't charging. I can get it to boot (maybe) but it says the power is too low to come on (0%). It was plugged in for quite a while. Now I've managed to get the case off it but I still don't know how to open the phone itself.

I'm considering buying a 256 gb Sandisk sd card from Amazon. They're promoting something called Rescue, a 3 year data recovery plan for flash memory devices. I assume that includes sd cards. The price is $5.99. Should I go for it? It says that if the device fails they'll recover the data and send them on "a new piece of external storage media". If it doesn't work there's that money back guarantee.

Via Vox comes this longish article about the challenges related to both the knowns and unknowns of living in space. You’ll either find it interesting, pedantic or a cure for insomnia (the article, not space life).

I have a captive portal Wi-Fi that I am having issues with since the update 2 days ago. When I click on the 'sign in to WiFi' my page gets stuck on the connectivity.gstatic.com. page. normally it would open a login page to sign in. I have tried multiple other browsers. Clearing cache, storage etc., Restarting network connections. Could someone please assist?

Hi, YTAMZ19
I am creating two threads in audio primary Hal with SCHED_FIFO policy but is failing to create the thread, it seems it require SYS_NICE capability. So how to provide CAP_SYS_NICE capability for audio primary Hal. Thanks in advance for the response

My phone currently has a very limited set of languages available(Asiatic ones) in the Language and Input menu and I was looking to change it to Portuguese.

I have tried using apps like Locale & Language or Language Enabler, however they never seem to fully translate the entirety of the phone's menus and whatnot(actually, barely anything gets translated at all...).

I've read that I could flash a European ROM into the phone in order to properly change the system's language to Portuguese, however I was wondering if anyone knows any alternative to this? And also, could there be any conflict in the phone for flashing a different region ROM? I'm uneasy about it as I've never flashed android ROMs before and would rather minimize any risk of messing up.

My tablet was attacked by avirus and and I can't get the wi-fi signal

Hello there!

I have a Huawei P20 Pro, and recently - 4 days ago - I noticed that android.uid.phone began to use a massive data on wifi, not on mobile data though. I have been looking around on the internet, however I did not find any solution yet. I tried scanning with anti-virus apps, however nothing was found, tried restarting the phone, and leaving it off for a while, then turning it back on, nothing worked.

Here is a pic about it:


I hope you can help me!

Thanks in advance!

Hi Guys,

Imagine I want to create an app that will use biometrics from the mobile phone.
I want to use the sensor in the way it registers multiple records in my app. From functional perspective it's like the registry - you log in to app, you have "your team" and you need to register their fingerprints.

Is BiometricPrompt API capable of doing it? Or it only serves to authenticate one user that the device belongs to?

If the answer is not in my favour, do you have any other ideas?

How to get to messages

Hello everyone,

I apologize for the text wall.

Background:

Major Problems I Have Experienced:

Does anyone have any tips on maintaining a complete copy of a project while also avoiding encoding mishaps? So far, the only way I have noticed to reliably save my files is to zip the project and email a copy to myself, but I think I grew complacent in the past month.

I am on Windows 10 x64 on an AMD chipset and am using ASv3.4.

TL;DR - Android is killing me. Please send help.

Sincerely,
Andrew

I'm looking for one that really does take screenshots, shows them, shows how to use itself, and doesn't have a bunch of annoying ads and/or intrusive permissions. Smart Touch and Screenshot Easy are apparently not it. If I can't use the off button on the right side of the S5, then I need something else for screenshots. What I've been doing for maybe a day is taking photos of the "old" phone's screen with the "new" one's camera. That doesn't work very well

Help. Please. I was reading something the other night and thought I was turning on the night setting, but it changed the screen to this orangy tanny color that has stayed there. No, my blue light thing isn't on, and I can't find where I did this. I have a Note 9, and don't see anything in the phones settings that would do this. All I want is my normal screen back. Please help, it's driving me nuts!

Noticed this happened for sunset last night!!

Looks awesome in night mode!!

Is there any way to stop Amber Alerts on my phone from signalling again and again and again until I click OK?

I have a Samsung A5 (2017). My area, Ontario in Canada, recently implemented a system of sending Amber alerts to all smart phone owners in Ontario. That's great and I support the initiative. However, I am not completely delighted with the actual implementation, at least as it affects me.

We had an Amber Alert this morning, just after 5am, when I was fast asleep. My phone was a few feet away, charging, and the volume was quite low. I think I managed to sleep through the first message but a few minutes later, the emergency tone sounded again. And then again and again and again, at shortish intervals - a few minutes but I wasn't timing them - and the cycle didn't stop until I got out of bed and clicked OK on the Amber Alert message. I confirmed that only one Amber Alert had come in but the phone kept nagging me about it until I finally clicked OK. In other words, it was acting much like an "automatic snooze button", if I can put it that way, because it kept telling me about this alert until I clicked OK.

A second alert occurred about 40 minutes later (for the same child but this time in English AND French instead of just in English) and this time I got up right away to click the OK and there were no further messages. As you can imagine these alerts were very disruptive to my sleep. I already have issues with not being to fall back asleep when awakened.

I'm wondering if it's a setting on my phone that causes it to re-signal me until I press OK? I realize it may be the way the Amber Alert system is implemented and outside of my control but if I can adjust my phone to only signal me ONCE per Amber Alert, my sleep will be much less disrupted; then I can potentially sleep right through the signal or, at worst, fall back asleep quickly if it does happen without having to get out of bed.

While I'm asking questions, let me ask one more. I know my phone has a motion sensor; I'm betting quite a few phones do now. Would it be possible for the people who administer the Amber Alerts to detect that my phone is stationary and hasn't moved for a while? I want to suggest to them that they check for that and *not* notify people that are a substantial distance from the missing child's presumed path, especially if their phone hasn't moved for a couple of hours, since such people are likely to be sleeping. But I don't want to suggest this if it isn't possible; that would just waste their time.

Sorry for the long-winded post but I wanted to be very clear.

OnePlus have just started the Open Beta 18 & 10 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.



Android Security patch is May 2019



Camera version is still 3.0.37

This is the 10th Open Beta release for the 6T in 135 days = 1 update, on average, every 13.5 days.

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

Hello everyone!
It's been quite a bit since I logged on here but wanted to check out this forum for the S21 Ultra. (Verizon variant)
I just got my device today and will be retiring my 3 year old LG G7 ThinQ.

I haven't even turned it on yet because once I do, I'll spend hours on end setting it up and tweaking it to my liking and can't afford to be sleepy at work the next day

In the meantime, I am watching videos and getting up to snuff on the workings of the S21.

I may delve into it this weekend when I have more time.

I see @ironass has quite a bit of info in his threads here, so checking those out too! (Good job my friend!!
Remember me?!)

I'll check back here later and may get more involved in this site and re-kindle my Android obsession

See you guys!

Since I’m having an issue with this math problem, I’m calling on anyone good with math skills

This may seem easy to some of you but not for me


I’ll try to explain this as best I can.


I submit work orders for work done on trucks through a 3rd party for approval. They approve my total amount, I do the work, they deposit the money in our bank account less a certain percentage.


I know the percentage, but let’s say I didn’t know it. How would I figure out the percentage?


For example:


Work order totals $607.67.

After work is done, they deposit $583.37 into our account.


What percentage did they just take (4%, 5%)?? What is the percentage amount (in dollars)? And, more importantly, what is the formula to figure that out????

In my mind, the formula would be:
607.67 - 607.67x = 583.37 ??


I used to know this but, ya know, you don’t use it, you lose it


Thanks

Hi everyone, in my application I have a file called "commands.txt", I want to make a button to copy the contents of "commands.txt" file to another ".txt" file that will be created, but I could not.Thank you very much if you help.

Hello,

I am planning to release my little Android app. Now, I am asking my self if I should create a separate Google account for my app(s) and creating a Developer Console account there. Shall I separate the private Google account from a development account?

What is your opinion? How do you handle this? Do you have multiple Google accounts? A private one and one for your apps.


Thank you for your help.
