Simply: is the parental control on the play store a joke? You just go to the setting -> app, find the Google play store app, clear the cache and data and parental control is turned off without having had to give your parental control password. No security hole exploit, just use the options that are there. Or maybe I miss the obvious (but even in this case, I would guess I am not the only one). So simply what is this parental control about?!

Hi all. I switched my Huawei p30 to a guest user so someone could use it to take photos at my wife's birthday party. Once I got it back I switched to my normal profile. This morning I went back to guest user but accidentally pressed "start again" instead of "continue" and now all the photos are gone. Is there anyway to recovery these? Please, I will be killed if I don't get these. Thanks

For months I've been trying to figure out how to shrink the font size in messages. I knew it could be done because it kept changing size after my 10 month old grandson would play with the phone. I looked everywhere on the internet for an answer but couldn't find one all I could find was how to changebthebfintbsize on the phone its self NOT messenger. Well for all of you with the same issue, I have the answer. PINCH & ZOOM (in or out) will change the font size. Your welcome. Lol

To all the Mom's on AF, Happy Mothers Day.

I wish to check or change the option selected in "Delete from server" but cannot find a way to access it in the Samsung Email app.

Going to Settings>Cloud and accounts>Accounts and tapping Email shows the email account, "Sync account" and a tab, "REMOVE ACCOUNT" only; nothing exists to take me to the set up.

It's a really good chair except for that. I think it's leather. At least the color makes it easy to spot 'em. I gave it a good dose of Raid bedbug spray. Will that do it? I don't want to get rid of the chair, which is really comfortable and has a matching ottoman. Besides, I couldn't afford another one. Because of the cat there's probably no way to use a fogger.

Error in application this problem is not solved please help me

Apparently Wear OS 2.6 has Tiles built in: it's a server-side feature, so it's a matter of Google flipping a switch to activate it. While there are reports of Huawei Watch 2 and Montblanc Summit 2 watches getting it, my son has the Huatch 2 and I have the Summit 2... neither of us have Tiles yet. So it's hit or miss.

I changed my resolution with Easy DPI changer, but my screen minimalized and i cant fix it. i cant even shut my phone down. help me pls

Hi. I am having trouble with a lot of pop up adds, I have therefore installed many malware and antivirus apps which have detected that a 'Clock' app has been installed which may be harmful. Not the stock 'Clock app' already installed. I think this is causing all the pop apps and slowing down my phone. All the Malware and antivirus apps have detected it and have uninstalled it. And then no more pop adds etc. However a few minutes late the app re installs itself over and over again no matter how many times I uninstall it. The icon is a green clock. Driving me mad. Any suggestions please.

It only happens in Facebook when I try to open a link

Hi to all, I have a Moto e4 using a Sprint network. I'm here to learn more about how to optimize using my device. I'm sure I'll lurk more than post.

So nearly every five minutes, I get this message from Vodafone as shown below. I've tried clicking on cancel and OK but that hasn't stopped these from coming. Clicking on OK took me to the "SIM 1 Toolkit" app, so this is probably coming from there? I can't disable this app however, and possibly this app needs to stay on for the SIM to work normally.

Is there any safe way to stop these from coming?

I have this error i don't know what to do.

The project 'android' may be using a version of Gradle that does not contain the method.

I have been trying for months to get group texting with some friends on iPhones to work. I have used Messages, Textra and Handcent with no luck. I have reset all the settings and even did a factory reset. Nothing. Virgin has reset all my settings at their end. I can send a text to multiple people, but the replies come back to only me. Most of my friends are iPhone users, and I need to chat with my kids teams. I don’t want to go back to an iPhone! Please help.

Hi,

Does anyone know how/why this happens and why it won't let me change to the white one?

I miss them.

After updating any app I am not getting app update notification on the Status Bar. I have checked app notification and Updated apps is marked checked. My android version is Pie (9).

My custom ringtone that I have assigned to my phone is not working. It plays a different sound that almost sounds like an error. The correct sound plays when you are selecting it from the Ringtone section in Settings, but when I get a call it plays an error sound. Built-in ringtones work fine.

I am using the Google Pixel 1st generation.

I am have been looking everywhere at 1st I thought it was a voicemail notification icon but it's not does anyone know what this is notifying my bf off?

Hard reset new

I just wanted to share that I finally have been able to get the basics of my app up and running, thanks in VERY large part to the help I've received here.

It's nothing much so far: It displays a splash screen and checks to see if you have a valid session token. If you do, it takes you to the home screen. If you don't, it takes you to a login screen, where a valid login will then give you a session token and take you to the home screen.

If I were doing this with HTML/javascript, or Python, or plain Java, not that big a deal, but with the complexities I've discovered in Android development, I'm pretty happy with what I've done.

I now have a full framework, including a number of abstracted and helper classes, to rather quickly develop the rest of my app, and hopefully several more to come!

Again thank you for all the help, and a special shout-out to @LV426 for helping me with my HTTP woes.

Hey guys, goping you may have either an answer or a fix. So recently I find the S8 when taking pictures...I will hear the click of the camera, but when I go back to look the picture is not there. Today is was many pictures. And each time I heard the shutter noise...but ended up with no pictures.

This is getting pretty frustrating so I'm hoping you guys have heard of this problem and maybe a fix. Thanks in advance for looking, Andrew.

Hello fellow coders!

I am new in app developing and trying to build pretty much my first Android app in a school project.
However I faced some problems and I would like to ask help from people who might know better.

My app uses TCPClient to make a connection to a host server. While I was testing the app in debug with different devices there was no problems with connecting. However after I made a release version and tried it on my device for some reason my app didn't want to connect and it just plain goes down.

After a while I found out how I can check logs to see what the problem is. Apparently it was some kind of socket exception that crashes the app. In debug the app worked though. So I searched some more info and apparently permission to use Internet is automatically on in debug and not in release. So I added that permission and tried to make a new apk file. That still didn't work and I got the same error (even though I am pretty sure that is the reason it didn't work).

Now after reading a bit more about apk files I guess making a new one isn't as easy as I thought. When I made the first one I followed Xamarin's instructions from here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/android/deploy-test/release-prep/?tabs=windows and everything went well.
But after making the second (and couple more after that) I realized that it didn't ask the apps keystore password (I guess you should put that every time you make a new apk file). I used the ad hoc route, because I am not intending to put the app in store (the app is for the project client). I just put the apk file to my device and installed it that way.

So I would like to know what exactly should I know if I make a new apk file from a project I have modified somehow? Do I need to make a new version number or something like that to make it work???
