Help Matching Qi Charger and External Receiver Coil for Nexus 7 WiFi Only?

J
As my wife is disabled, I need a Qi charging station that positions the Nexus 7 Wifi-only (2013) tablet and also an external receiver coil that I'll have to purchase as well. The external coil must be precisely positioned on the back of the Nexus 7 WiFi-only (2013) tablet to match the station's coil -- and as far as I can see the add-on receiver coils don't give you flexibility in positioning the coil. That means the station and the coil must be matched with respect to the Nexus 7 WiFi-only (2013) form factor.

So, I go off to search but then a big problem is that Amazon's search restrictions (left column) don't let you specify Nexus 7 compatibility. Entering "nexus" as a search term doesn't seem to matter either. Moreover, even if I found one or the other, I'd be risking taking shipment on 2 items that aren't geometric matches.

I've considered manufacturing a charging alignment frame as in
but it seems someone somewhere must have something like this for sale. Moreover, it seems someone somewhere must have an external receiver coil kit for the Nexus 7 WiFi-only (2013) that precisely positions the coil to match the position of the Nexus 7 (2013) phone tablet's internal receiver coil.

Video player in chrome doesn't work on certain site

twoballoon
  1. Hi everyone. I have a problem with build-in video player in Chrome.
  2. For such sites, as m.youtube.com it's work correctly and looks like this:
  3. 4ITZT6L.png

  5. It worked for site yummyanime.club as too.
  6. But some days ago video player suddenly stopped working on this site in Chrome and other browsers. Instead, the video is played in the same player as on the computer (although I use a mobile version of the site). It looks like this:
  7. CbTHjrx.png
  8. Player stopped working only on this site.

  10. It is inconvenient player on my phone. I want to use a player like in the first screenshot. I was surprised when I opened this site on my other old phone, and there this mobile player works:

  13. In short, the problem is this: the mobile video player suddenly stopped working on a certain site on my new phone. This is a problem for all browsers. But on my old phone, everything works fine.

  15. About system in old(correctly work) and new phone(have bug) accordingly:
  16. ePpkjnz.jpg


  19. So, main question is how to fix this problem and enable mobile video player on new phone? But I will be grateful for any information about this: how this mobile player work, does it have any settings, related links and so on.

Apps How do I develop mobile apps using Objective C

Ityxtoru
I have taught myself some basic programming (C, C++) as a hobby. But I often hear these days that people (professionals and hobbyists) develop mobile applications, games etc. for iPhone and other popular hand-held devices on their own. I am also interested in developing a small app or two for own mobile. I need to know the following, please guide me.

1. Am I right in selecting Objective C as my way of developing games and apps for my own mobile? Is Objective C the best choice?

2. Which are the best books for learning Objective C language?

3. Are there any good sites that offer Objective C tutorials?

4. Is there a free IDE/development tool for developing apps for my mobile in Objective C? I will be using my Linux machine only with either Ubuntu or Fedora, no Windows, so the IDE has to be Linux compatible.

5. Once I have develop something using an IDE on my Linux (Ubuntu/Fedora) pc, how do I transfer the same to my mobile or other hand-held device?

6. What is the best way to start? Send me your suggestions.

Thanks.

VoIP to PSTN and vice-versa

C
Hey (I don't think my last post was sent so re-posting).

I have parents living in a foreign country to mine. What I want to achieve is basically a local phone number in my parent's country (that I will control).

I was thinking of somehow setting up a local rooted Android phone or even a modem/gateway sort of device, anything really that can use a local SIM of the foreign country and make calls and kind of let me connect/conference those calls with me on the other end with VoIP.

So essentially, I call a device I setup and connect to internet at the foreign country. That device has a SIM installed and it can call in that country easily through the PTSN network/any mobile. Then I first call that medium device and that device forwards my call using its own Sim/the PTSN network via the sim.

How's this possible? Can I somehow merge my voice and send it down to the PTSN network through that middle device?

Cuz doesn't a Bluetooth device do similar thing? Well a Bluetooth headphone can also send voice with its mic and receive data, but of course it uses BT connection with phone, I wanna change BT to Internet Service

Thanks

Viciously virulent virus caught through SD card in New York

G
My wife has had a Samsung Galaxy J7, and one fine day we were visiting New York City, where, to make more photos, we went into a pretty solid looking phone store and bought what seemed like a genuine SanDisk SD card. It was not some cheap crap from a sidewalk sales scam. Once she inserted that card, it gave problems, never worked well, some fraudulent fake. But worse yet, it infected her phone with a viciously virulent virus which we could never again get removed. Brought it to several technicians already, but they were unable to fix it. Factory reset, of course, several times, and every time the virus is there. I am almost certain that these technicians tried to flash the firmware also, yet the virus crap keeps coming back.

What could this be? I am flabbergasted. Is there really some corner of memory that is completely unreachable by factory reset and flashing the firmware? Could be that it somehow hooks itself into the thing that is used to lock the phone onto a specific provider, that too doesn't go away by flushing firmware. So, what is the approach to get rid of this virus, or is it that one must write off that phone as a total loss?

IMO this is a reason not to buy mainstream brands of phones. I bet with my Xiaomi phone this could never have happened. Right?

Picture Transfer Dilemma

K
I need help and Advice.

Today, I went to transfer my pictures off my phone to my computer. Something I have done hundreds of times. My SD card was out of storage, so I copied and pasted my photos from my phone to my file folder on my desktop (I sort them and put them on an external). Well.. I accidently cut and pasted the photos to start. Then I went to open them once the transfer was complete.. and NOTHING!!! My photos have sorta transferred and wont open. Each picture is 48.2GB and with all the pictures and videos its says its 148TB.

Im not a genius, but I know this is so so wrong. How can I fix this?

Progress Bar won't show

23tony
I am unable to get a progress bar to show up dynamically on my activity.

If I set it to VISIBLE at the beginning, it shows. But if I change the visibility in any way, I can't get it to show up programmatically.

I have tried making the initial setting INVISIBLE and GONE, and I have tried making the initial setting VISIBLE and then changing it in onCreate, but when I try to get it to show up, it won't. Pretty much all other manipulations I'm doing on the screen are working as expected.

I am using a constraint layout. The progressbar is centered on the parent. I have tried placing it first and last in the XML, none of this changes the behavior.

Here is the relevant parts of the code:
Code: 
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    // var declarations
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        mTextBox = findViewById(R.id.textBox);

        mLoadButton = findViewById(R.id.loadButton);
        mLoadButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                loadHtml();
            }
        });
        mProgressBar = findViewById(R.id.progressBar);
        mProgressBar.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE); // Also tried setting INVISIBLE and GONE in XML
    }

    private void loadHtml() {
        mProgressBar.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
        try {
            Thread.sleep(2000);
        }
        catch (java.lang.InterruptedException interruptedException) {
            // handle the exception
        }
        RequestQueue queue = Volley.newRequestQueue(this);
        String url = "http://10.0.2.2";

        StringRequest stringRequest = new StringRequest(Request.Method.GET, url,
                new Response.Listener<String>() {
                    @Override
                    public void onResponse(String response) {
                        mTextBox.setText(response);
                        mProgressBar.setVisibility(View.GONE);
                    }
                }, new Response.ErrorListener() {
                    @Override
                    public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
                        String err = error.toString();
                        mTextBox.setText(err);
                        mProgressBar.setVisibility(View.GONE);
                    }
        });
        queue.add(stringRequest);
    }
}

So as I was writing this, I tried something, and got an interesting result: I removed the lines mProgressBar.setVisibility(View.GONE); - and the progress bar showed up after the value for mTextBox was updated. So it looks like it has something to do with an interaction with the Volley request - but I'm not quite sure what, nor how to get past it.

Appreciate any feedback, and if I figure it out on my own I'll post back what I learn.

VIP Mail
