Chair o' bed bugs

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.

'clock' virus

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.

My carrier (Vodafone) is showing me pop-up messages, any way to stop them?

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?

Help Group texting with iPhones

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.

Help Ringtone not working

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.

Success!

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.

S8 camera issues

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.

Apps Problem with APK files

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???

Gmail and Outlook not receiving notifications

The device that has the issue is a Huawei Y6, although I read that other devices from different manufacturers are facing the same issue as well. The phone runs Android 9.0 and is brand new pretty much out of the box. The issue is that both Gmail and the Outlook app do not receive notifications even though all possible permissions are on and the battery saving mode is disabled. I tried installing the apps again and what not, the phone still doesn't receive email notifications. It's bugging me not being able to find a solution and was wondering if anyone here has faced anything similar.

Where to buy an android phone?!

I know this might seem like a silly question, but where is the best place to buy an Android phone?

I've always usually got my phone from my network provider, but I might do it differently this time to save money in the long run. I know that if I would want an iPhone (which I don't!), I can go to Apple and buy one directly, but where can I go to get an Android phone like a Huawei P30 Pro for example?

Thanks in advance
Glenn
