Google pop up ads?

Within the last week or so I started getting random pop up ads on my phone. They don't appear in any specific app, I've gotten them while checking email, sending texts, browsing Facebook, etc... I keep getting one for myweatherupdatenow.com and most recently Slip 700 Series tripods. Just random stuff from sites I've never been to before. There is an AdChoice button in the lower corner and when I clicked on it, these appear to be Google generated ads. I don't know if it's just a coincidence or not but this seems to have started when I upgraded to Android pie. is anyone else having this issue? I've been researching for days on how to stop this from happening but I can't figure it out. Help??

Help Keeping Screen on During Calls on Bluetooth?

Anyone know how to prevent the screen from turning off during calls?

Specifically, when I'm driving, I keep my phone in a dash mount, since I'm usually using Waze or something like that, which keeps the display on. The problem is that whenever I get a call, the phone switches over to the call screen, and then shuts the display off after 30 seconds.

I've been trying to set up a Tasker profile that will update the Display Timeout whenever I get a call while the phone is connected to my car, and I can see that the profile is being activated and the task is running, and I'm using the Display Timeout action in other tasks, so I know that it works there, but for some reason, it doesn't seem to have any impact here- it's like the call screen is explicitly turning off the display, and I can't figure out how to stop it.

HELP!!

I stupidly allowed my friend to keep my phone for 1 day and night . Know several things are hhappening. Numerous "apps" that have the green Android symbol, get hundreds of calls daily that are super strange and seem fake and after blocking them I get a call from almost the exact number again .My Facebook, Google and Gmail account passwords don't work try resetting them and I can't recieve a "prompt" cause"no authorized device found" .I either either receive 2 text messages with codes to reset the password or they don't work and I receive another text or email at strange times when I'm not trying to reset it .Phone rings I answer its my son but not his number and my text messages are going to the wrong person. I've purchased 3 new phones, changed my phone number and told it to no one and deleted my gmail account. On the new phone all the "corrupt" content is there immediately ..Cant preform a factory reset either!!! I'm desperate

Help Gboard: Big emojis list small again

I'm in the beta of Gboard and before april 6 I still had the big emojis list but I had to reset the phone to fix something and after reinstalling the latest beta version on my device I had the small emoji list again. I reset the Gboard app to the factory version but that didn't fix it. A friend of mine has the exact same version as me and he still has the big emojis so I'm at a loss here. Anyone else have that same problem?

[FREE][GAME] Pirate Skater

Hello, I am a computer developer,

with a graphic friend we have developed a game for Android and iOS.

This is a small action game in which the goal is to make the best score possible.

It's a game any ages at a touch, just tap the screen to jump from platform to platform while avoiding traps and not touching the ground.

it seems simple but it is not!

It is deliberately very difficult, if you liked games like Flappy Bird then you will love it.

A game does not last very long, so we can play when we have 5 min to lose!

Either we like it or we hate it, but it quickly becomes addictive!

The game is called PIRATE SKATER, here is the URL to download the game :

Do not hesitate to test it! You can compare your score with players around the world by going to the "leaderboard" menu.

Good luck ! ;)

Help android backup (Samsung s7)

Dear,
my samsung s7 with sd card (phone and card were fully encrypted) died few days ago. I was working with phone and find out it was slow so i rebooted it -> then it got stuck on showing logo SAMSUNG and i was not able to power off, i brought it to the service and on the next day they told me that mainboard or/ phone NAND storage died. They said its not possible to detect if its mainboard failure or internal nand storage (why?)

So I went to shop and bought Samsung s10, during the setup accepted to restore data from google drive and samsung cloud (the backup date was 3 days old, contained ~ 7GB of data), after screens where i provided credentials both processes were running in parallel ie installation of apps from app store and samsung cloud restore.

1) After restore of apps & samsung cloud finished basically there was no app that after click worked as before, almost every single app required to go thru the Sing in procedure.

My question here is - > what is samsung cloud backup about? Yes, call log, text messages was restored 100% (but this kind of backup worked maybe 20y ago on my nokia)

Google Translator: all the history, ie words i translated are missing
Voice recored: all my records from internal and sdcard memory are missing
Threema - the app has its *zip files in folder under Backups, there is nothing after restore
Signal same as Threema

google Chrome - i have some tab sickness, so around 250 tabs were opened on Chrome, all gone, chrome can see only recent tabs from died device ie ~20 tabs.
Why file (i assume its some xml?) that contains list of all opened tabs is not synchronized into the google/samsung clound and then restored?

I am not sure if i understand how Samsung's /android restore works but basically i lost all data for my key apps. I am not sure if ios cloud backup will do the job better - can anyone provide some details here?

As al these apps were basically not backed up correctly from my point of view question is why this happened, did i execute wrong restore procedure? Is samsung / android not able to backup its apps data correctly or they dont care about real backup and if situation like that happened they just leave user withou data?


2) As card was ecnrypted (and not freshly backed up) and there were important data i was told that its encryption keys are dependant on device motherboard. So as this is true that implies that samsung/andoid failed to backup sd card properly, and all data is gone for-ever.


I am now in situation where i am thinking about what is Android and samsung cloud backup about? To backup my Call log and Text messages?

Do I really want to use device which backup ecosystem is not working at all or works like 15y ago on Nokia? Do I really have to setup backup using folderSync app and manually hacking what files are critical per app?

I dont want to root phone, lost warranty, i know that once phone is rooted its all easy but no i dont have time to root phone, do manuall upgrades of system etc... I want to have device which is constantly backed up without my intervention and once its die/stole/broken i will replace it with the new one and restore its last State. Is that possible to achive that with oficial android / samsung cloud backup? As per description above i dont think so.


3) Am I able to connect to Samsung clound and "browse" content of my backup? Ie what files are there etc.


Thank you

View.Visibility(VISIBLE)

Hi.
My application displays a list (RelativeLayout) when a EditText is selected.
Java:
password.setOnFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener() {
            @Override
            public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
                if(hasFocus){
                    ShowList();
                }
            }
        });

Java:
private void ShowList(){
        List.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
        Handler handler = new Handler();
        handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                ScrollViewList.post(new Runnable() {
                    public void run()
                    {
                        ScrollViewList.smoothScrollTo(0, ScrollViewList.getBottom());
                    }
                });
            }
        },250);
    }


The problem appears when writing in the EditText. Automatically an edit text located at the top get focus.
