I used to simply tap to answer phone but after an update last week I have to swipe and I hate it.

I'm trying to update my copy of Android Studio from 3.3 to the latest and greatest version but the update fails.

Here's the full text of the message(s). (I'm not too worried about the second message; I see it's just a warning of some functionality being deprecated at the end of the year.):

I'd be grateful if someone could suggest what I can do to fix the error. Or do I have to delete Android Studio and then install the new version fresh?

I'm running the latest update of Windows 10 Home.

I turned off the media volume limiter, I turned it on and set it to max, and I restarted several times. I can't seem to find a solution. I just can't turn up media any higher than this.

Hi!

I traded in my old dinosaur of an S5 2 weeks ago and picked up an S10. Love it. The 3 lenses are excellent. I read about it has good performance in low light situations. Yes, it utterly kills my old dinosaur S5.

I also read about how much better the Google Camera app is with Night Sight. I figured it couldn't be that much better, but it is. Sorry for the pun, but it's "night and day" better.

Here's the issue. After installing the apk for the Google Camera, I started taking comparison photos between the stock Samsung Camera app and the Google Camera app. Images taken with the Samsung Camera app come out far more saturated whereas the Google Camera app images come out considerably more lifelike. I can color correct / adjust white balance in post processing, but I really want to just be able to take a pic and share it immediately without the hassle of any post processing.

I'd prefer to keep using the Samsung App for now (excluding low light photos) because the Google Camera app doesn't utilize all 3 lenses (yet).

Anyone here have any tips / tricks on taming the white balance / saturation in the Samsung Camera app?

I am using the Samsung App in full auto. I can tinker with the Pro mode and "get it right", but I want to point, shoot, and share without having to go through a whole lot of post processing - basically, I want an "easy button".

Here are my camera settings in the Samsung App:

Scene Optimizer enabled

• Bright Night enabled
• Document Scan disabled
• Starburst disabled

Shot Suggestions disabled
Flaw detection disabled
Motion photos disabled
HDR (rich tone) enabled

• Apply when needed

Tracking auto-focus enabled

To be honest, I have not yet disabled Scene Optimizer and HDR for a test vs the Google Camera app.

In the attached file, the top pic is with the Google app, the bottom pic is from the Samsung camera app.

I look forward to suggestions and feedback!

After recent reinstall Bluestacks 4 started to consume around 50-100 mb of RAM only. Before that it used to consume 10 times more, around 500-600 mb. Game I'm playing lags af, probably because the emulator consumes the same amount of memory as before but for some reason takes it not from RAM but from the hard drive. How to fix this problem?

In Bluestacks settings I put RAM allocated to it to 3Gb. It runs in lowest possible resolution on 4 cores out of 8. Previous version worked fine with these settings.

Anonymous try to hack my device

I updated my Samsung galaxy S8 on the 6th of April. After doing the update, my screen become irratic, the touch worked in certain places then didn't and was pressing in the wrong place from where I was touching (if that makes any sense)

It then started flickering when turning the screen on and off and a couple of times just flickered black and white for a few minutes before actually coming on.

On the 9th of April the screen has completely gone, it just flickers green and white from 5cm down all they way to the bottom. I can still see my wallpaper behind the flickering. Weirdly the phone still works and I can see the apps opening in the background where I press but I can't see what I'm doing.

I do have a crack in my screen but that has been there since November and never caused any issues. Weirdly my friend updated her S8+ last week and her phone started flickering when the screen was turned off and her phone is now obsolete too.

Anyone else experienced this ??

I'm following along in a book that used A S 2.3. I googled it but nothing actually downloads for Mac. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Guys I recently updated my phone to newer version and it asked for mi security PIN, and I forgot the password so I had to rush to the mobile centre and they unlocked the phone. On reaching home I came to know that I couldn't add google account *it says couldn't reach to server* and at the same time I couldn't browse at all with every browsing app.
I tried every possible way clearing cache, clearing data of play store play service and almost every Google related app .
Is there any possible way that I can continue using the phone?
Please help me out in this matter
I will be very grateful
Thank you

My S8 just updated to Pie.
How do I get the app names back in my favorites bar?

My S8 just updated to Android 9.
My issue is with split screen/multi window usage.
I know how to use it. But, in Android 8, it could be activated by long-pressing the 'Recents' button. Now I have to press 'Recents', then hit the gear, then hit 'open in split screen view'.
Not only does this mean three actions instead of one, it also means that I can't activate split screen from an app that's playing a video without that video pausing, which it does automatically when I first hit 'Recents'. Under the old, single long-press, videos in YouTube and Hulu would continue playing. Can I get this functionality back?

How do I disable google assistant? It keeps bothering me when I accidentally press the wrong button. I figured I could stop it through the S5's app manager, but it isn't listed, even with system apps showing.

hi,
I bought an android box an MXQ-4K 2 years ago for watching tv while in another country. Everything worked fine until I had to update the box last year. Since then I can get sound but rarely do I get a picture. I tried uninstalling the update but nothing seems to work.its got Kodi v15.2 and Mobdro version 2.1.34 Freemium.
I’ve tried clearing the data, forcing the app to stop but nothing works?
Help please before the Kamikazi in me destroys the damn thing

I have a Samsung S9 and for some reason it started requiring a PIN to wake it up every time the screen goes blank. I did set a PIN but then decided I don't like it. It never used to do this but I suspect it was a recent upgrade....maybe. At any rate, I find this new PIN thing irritating. I've tried all the settings without success. The online help manual says I can go into Settings > Security > Screen Lock Type and choose from a pull-down menu, but the only thing in the pull-down list is PIN!

Can anyone help, please? Thanks.

I am trying to root my Samsung SM-J400f but I just cant get into fastboot mode. As soon as I type following command :-

adb reboot bootloader

My device just reboots and doesn't enter into fastboot or any special mode. I have checked "OEM unlock" option in develop options. Also I tried entering into fastboot mode by pressing Volume up + home + power keys but it just starts normally like nothing have just happened. Pls help me. Btw, I am using ArchLinux

Can people who sign into and use my Google account with their own device view pictures I've downloaded onto my phone with their device?

I found an my old HTC one mini that has a lot of family photos on it and can't figure out how to recover them. I cant enable usb debugging as it's stuck on a bootloop on the bootloader screen. Is there any way around this?

When I connect my android phone to PC, it does not show Internal Storage in Explorer. ONly SD card
Why???
I want to back up my phone before doing a software update.

Does anyone know of a way to set download location in Naked Browser? I really like the speed of page loading and small resource footprint. I prefer to have downloads saved to SD card and use the ask for location and filename with each download as Chrome provides. I like to append information to end of filename and can not find a way to do these two things in Naked Browser. With Naked Browser, I have to go to file explorer to append to filename. And no, the tablet is not rooted.

Hello I have the a device that uses Lineage Os 15.1. The problem is that for example, in FolderMount, I receive this error: “you must grant explicit access to the root path of the external sd card to FolderMount”. And I see the access to the SD card is not slowed. How can I enable it? The intention to use FolderMount is because a I have a game that consists of an app and data that goes to Android/obb. The problem is my memory to boot is partitioned in two, one to boot of 100 MB and the other with 128 GB, then I see the system obligates also to write to the 100 MB partition and is filling, and for example the game I want to install is around 2GB and to fit in 100 MB, as one can see is impossible, then I want al to leave inside the internal memory. I,made the test to install the app and the pen copy to Android/obb all the data of the game as is supposed to do, but the game it doesn’t detect the obb directory. I think maybe instead to look in the internal memory, it goes to the sd card partition of 100MB. That is the reason to use FolderMount. Then how can I enable access to the 100 MB and solve the error: “you must grant explicit access to the root path of the external sd card to FolderMount”?

I need some help.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 wifi (SM-T813). I was trying to install Lineage OS and many of the techs written about doing so on the device were incorrect in one way or another. Ultimately I was able to get the device rooted (which I was forced to do in order to install TWRP).

When I was looking for information on unlocking the bootloader the few things I found all said it was already unlocked. Eventually I took those statements at face value and installed Lineage OS 16. It said it was successfully completed but it won’t reboot. It has a picture of a battery with a lightning bolt and the screen says ”set warranty bit : kernel”. I’ve been told this means Lineage did install but it can’t boot because the bootloader is locked. ‍♀️ It can go into download mode only, not recovery or to an OS. It cannot be turned off and can only be allowed to die via battery discharge.

It is recognized by Odin in download mode and I have been trying to install stock firmware but all I can find are .tar files for the android 7 that is stock for SM-813. Odin says that I need the four files Bl, Ap, Cp, CSC. The closest I have found was Sammobiles site which claimed the firmware they host would unzip into these 4 files but it doesn’t. It is a tar as well and doesn’t work. I really need some help locating the proper stock firmware with all of the necessary files. Any information on unlocking the bootloader on this device is also very welcome. This is a new device and I’m feeling a little desperate and out of options. I would greatly appreciate some assistance so I can unbrick the tablet.

Thanks in advance for any help finding the Bl, Ap, Cp, Csc files for SM-813 as well as how to successfully unlock the bootloader if I am ever able to get back there.

Hi Everyone!
Actually, I'm working on an app in which I'm using a circle menu. In the menu, I want to display text as well with the icons. Does anyone know the code how to do that?

I am trying to set up some sort of anti theft on my s8+. I have cerebus installed and my main issue right now is you can't remotely enable GPS meaning if I lost my phone while location is off II'll be unable to track my phone.

Is there a way to do this? Doesn't have to be on cerebus. I was thinking maybe I could automate my phone so that my locations stays on when I'm not home, and somehow set it up so that location cannot be turned off without the phone being unlocked?

Anyone? My phone isn't rooted but I've thinking about rooting it if I have to.
