Need a recommendation for Android

M
Hello,

I'm looking for a new mobile phone. It must have 10,000+ mAh, be under 6.5 inches, and fall within the price range of 200-500 euros. It should not have any technical issues.My current phone is the Blackview 10000 Pro (it's over 3 years old, and I was happy with that mobile). So, if you have any suggestions for what would be the best one for that price?

Thank you in advance.

Searching for a Desktop that could handle Android Studio

V
So, I am currently working on a WEAK 8gb ram office computer and it obviously cannot handle Android Studio (running my apps, and opening the emulator, functioning fast is all a struggle)

I'm in a search for a new desktop and I don't want to make a mistake so here are some specs I found and I'm curious is they are any good
Sorry it's not English but y'all can understand it

I'll be looking for more but these are the most common specs

Issues with signing app on Android Studio

S
I am just at the end of my app development cycle but unfortunately I can't sign the app bundle to upload it to the play store. When I attempt to use the "Generate signed APK" function it throws up this error message after I've put in the details of the keystore and moved on:

Namaste With Puppies and LG CordZero™

LG
Participants at puppy yoga class enjoying the seeions with puppies

Many people turn to exercise or hobbies such as attending a yoga class to help address negative emotions such as anxiety and stress. However, there are other ways of dealing with these negative emotions like cleaning up the home. Studies have proven the connection between cleaning and stress relief, and according to the Taylor Counselling Group, tidying one’s home not only removes germs and bacteria but also improves body functions and helps mitigate a wide range of health concerns including heart disease, high blood pressure, depression and sleep problems.​

To demonstrate the importance of cleaning with exceptional tools for overall mental health and wellness and to promote the of LG CordZero
™
line of vacuums, LG Canada hosted an interactive puppy yoga class with more than 20 media outlets and influencers participating. The event aimed to build interest, consumer awareness and purchase consideration for the LG CordZero
™
vacuum with its features as a focal point.​

In addition to a paw-some yoga session with puppies that brought guests to a state of calm and serenity, attendees had the opportunity to try out the LG CordZero
™
vacuum lineup to experience its various features in keeping spaces free of dust, debris and of course, puppy fur. The venue, a photography studio loft located in Toronto’s west end, showcased the LG CordZero
™
cordless stick vacuums as well as the StanbyME, LG PuriCare
™
and XBOOM speaker.​

The event was kicked off by wellness expert and LG spokesperson Nadia Addesi, who shared the results of the LG CordZero™ Clean Well Survey. She noted that 90 percent of respondents agreed that a clean space improves their mental health, but like everything in life, sometimes barriers like procrastination and lack of time hinder their ability to complete tasks that improve their mental wellness. The survey also showed that more than fifty percent of Canadians would enjoy cleaning more if they had better tools, offering a tie-in to the products highlighted at the event.​

Following the puppy yoga session, attendees were encouraged to clean their individual yoga spaces using LG CordZero
™
All-in-One Tower
™
, experiencing the exclusive Kompressor
™
technology, which compresses dirt and debris to fit more in the dust bin, and the auto-empty feature, which automatically empties the vacuum with just the touch of a button when it is placed on the dock. The vacuum also comes with two detachable, rechargeable batteries that allow for up to 120 minutes of uninterrupted cleaning time, as well as multiple tools and attachments including a pet nozzle designed specifically for the fur which the guests cleaned up after their yoga session.​

The event generated more than 2.8 million media impressions, exceeding the goal of 1 million. Attendees posted about their experience at the event on their social channels, mentioning the products’ features and commented how the event drew a seamless integration between fun and function.​

Like the puppy yoga session, LG global offices are implementing exciting and creative events that let customers experience the company’s outstanding products with state-of-the-art technology firsthand.

LG Amplifies ‘Life’s Good’ Message With Inspiring Brand Film to Champion Optimism

LG
Directed by Award-Winning Director, Motivational Brand Film
Encourages Viewers to Embrace Path of Optimism

An image of a man riding a longboard with a phrase

SEOUL, Sep. 27, 2023 — LG Electronics (LG) today highlighted its Life’s Good message by introducing a new brand film. Part of the ongoing global brand campaign, the film beautifully communicates the true meaning of LG’s Life’s Good philosophy and shares the company’s powerful message of the importance of being optimistic.

Launched in August 2023, the Life’s Good campaign aims to inspire people to face challenges with an optimistic attitude during difficult times, as well as highlight the enduring nature of LG’s brand philosophy and values, which the company has consistently upheld throughout its entire history.

The newly introduced 90-second film centers on a middle-aged man who chooses optimism in his personal journey, allowing him to overcome obstacles and accomplish something that no one would have believed him capable of. At the outset, the protagonist has a look of apprehension as he struggles to ride a longboard down a suburban street. However, as the film progresses, he becomes more determined and begins to glide gracefully over the asphalt, wearing a happy, confident smile on his face.

The underlying message of this heartwarming story is that there’s an optimist inside everyone; it’s merely a matter of deciding to embrace it. Using a longboard as a metaphor for life, the film suggests that any goal or dream is attainable if one is brave and optimistic enough to push through their perceived limitations to get there.

LG’s brand film was crafted by the creative team at TBWA\Chiat\Day New York and headed by Emmy Award-winning director, Nicolai Fuglsig, whose simple, charming storytelling so powerfully illustrates what can happen when one elects to walk the path of optimism.

“LG came to me with the idea of sharing the meaning of its Life’s Good philosophy through the lens of choosing optimism, and I was immediately drawn to the project,” said Nicolai Fuglsig. “I love the story of an unexpected hero venturing out of his comfort zone and using optimism to overcome challenges. Personally, I feel it’s a powerful reminder not to get bogged down by negativity and to live life to the fullest.”

As LG transforms its business, it is changing the way it communicates with customers and stakeholders through its recent brand reinvention, ensuring the values and philosophy of Life’s Good are delivered at every touchpoint across the customer experience. Thus far, the campaign has graced some of the most iconic landmarks in various cities around the world, including Dubai, London, New York and Seoul.

“Life’s Good represents our unwavering commitment to making people’s lives better through innovation,” said Jeongseok (JS) Lee, senior vice president and head of LG’s Global Marketing Center. “In line with our future vision to become a smart life solution company, we will communicate with various customers at every touchpoint in a more dynamic and youthful way.”

“With our global campaign, we aim to convey our message of Life’s Good, inspiring and encouraging customers to take life with an optimistic attitude,” said Kim Hyo-eun, vice president of LG’s Global Marketing Center. “We hope that our brand film can uplift customers and create meaningful influence on their lives.”

The brand film can be viewed on the LG Global YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/GlobalLG).​

Music starts playing automatically after phone calls or sometimes during calls?

D
Ok, this is really annoying. It's been going on for some time now. If I have my Bluetooth headset connected to my phone, everytime I end a call, my music just starts playing automatically. Sometimes immediately after I dial a number and it starts ringing, my music will just start playing automatically. Not sure if the person I'm calling can hear the music, but I definitely cannot hear the person with the music blairing. Then after I pause it and talk to the person, I hang up and the music starts again. I've tried to kill the music app. It doesn't matter which music app I'm using. I was using Spotify. I recently uninstalled it and now just listening to MP3s using either poweramp or Samsung music player. They all do it. Whatever app I use to listen to music in my car auto starts playing when I use my Bluetooth headset everytime I use the phone. The music starts playing automatically only when I have a Bluetooth audio device connected to the phone.

When I go to my Bluetooth options, I have the option to disable/enable phone and audio... I cannot diable audio/music on my headset because when I use my phone to make calls, I'm using the app sideline which I use voip which is using the music channel to make calls. I'm not calling using the android native phone app. I do this because my cell signal at my house is really bad, but we finally have rock solid fast internet.

I work from home, so this is super distracting when calling customers.

Gestures using Watch4

E
My wife and I use the same model of watch on the same carrier paired into our S21's.
Selected to set up my watch to answer using the gesture.

Selected it and trying to use it when mine rings makes me look stupid but it finally answers. I set up my wife's and when she tries to answer
people look at her strangely and hers doesn't answer. She's refusing to use it when she's out in public.

My question: Am I missing something?

Is there a way to increase the sensitivity so you don't look like your drowning when trying to answer?
