I have heard that in terms of memory and raw computing power, a greeting card that plays music is more powerful than the Apollo computers, which *really* puts it in perspective!

Goodness, you're not kidding! That's a really astonishing tidbit.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you owe beer for that one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so my gear s3 i love mainly because of the bezel that rotates. it is very convenient. i also love s3 because it is one of the bigger round faces on the market. i mainly use it to show my notifications and for fitness. the fitness app is great because it also logs your gps as well as heart rate and such.

i might get the s4 if they plan on releasing one this year. i also have the lg urbane which is another cool watch as well.

I'm developing an App in which users navigate through a tree structure using a lists, so the user sees:

root 1
root 2
root 3

After selecting one of those, they are on the next level of the tree structure and they see:

You are on root 2:
level 1
level 2
level 3

Navigating the structure is fine. My issue is that I also want a detail view for each item of the structure.
So right now I'm using tabs to show subitems in one tab and a detail view of the currently selected item on another tab. If you understand what I explained, you can guess this is probably not the best approach, as it feels a bit confusing/non-intuitive that both tabs behave as a detailview, one with subitems/levels and the other as an actual detail view.

The reason for navigating the tree structure like this instead of having a list of expandable items is that each item might have quite many subitems and scrolling much is not desirable. So the tree structure navigation solves that issue but creates anoter: I cannot anymore click an item and show its detailview.

Not panicing!
I found https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/root-h910-v10m-t3664500 to follow.
The link there to the "dirty santa" files was no good so I got them at the site you show above then returned to the thread I started at to keep going with the process.
The hard reset process you cite fails at step 4.
Because I need a phone I bought a v20 vs995 in case I can't get this working again. If I pay round-trip postage would you care to try to resuscitate it? (At what you might charge, of course!)

sorry this is better for you to figure out. it is a way to learn how things work. plus if you are able to revive the phone, the feeling of accomplishment.....there is nothing better.

try the firmware guide i posted and see if this works or not.

Thanks for responding guys. I guess I can use network location, really, right? It does not have to be exact, like GPS. As far as the way it would work, I do not want it to be static. I Google Maps API constantly and tell me if the store is nearby. I want it to be dynamic and work in all areas, not just for one particular store.

And, year, I am kinda into this stuff.

President though...
He's got like 6 months to convince me.
After that he'll send me back to Africa.

Most of us personally understand that. I'm very sorry for your loss, and hope you're taking good care of yourself during this difficult time.

I appreciate all the efforts you all put in this and apologise for wasting your time.

No need for apologies! Android Forums exists to help Android users, and we're very happy to do just that. Your thanks and appreciation are a nice bonus.

Thank you ocnbrze.

I discovered that there was a setting under battery in the settings whereby the app was put to sleep when after a period of time. By changing the setting I was able to fix the problem.

Brother that did it!. It was a PIA to find but Google Play Music was there. Looks like all is working fine again. Kudos!

It wasn't as heavy as I thought it would be. I threw it in my rear pocket and was good to go (around the city) While traveling, it went quietly in my briefcase.

Have you seen about the Amazon package stings? Amazon supplies the packages, tape, and stickers that make it look as if something expensive is in there. Then they leave the stuff out for porch pirates to grab. Of course there's gps which gets them caught, and it's all tied in with those fancy Amazon doorbells that record whoever's there. A lot of this is to get people afraid and thinking that they need security cameras at home, which means Amazon can sell a lot of doorbells. Probably most of the profit is not in the hardware but in some monthly charge (I guess) for remote monitoring. I bet that adds up after a while. It reminds of this show where cops leave a car just sitting there with the keys in it and inevitably some idiot comes along and drives off in it. Then the cops remotely shut it down and lock the doors and they've caught their fish.

If there is a CORT Furniture Outlet near you they can probably find one. CORT specializes in gently used Corporate office furniture. Surprisingly low prices to actually buy.

yep if you want to know about rooting your phone or future phone, i always head over to xda. it is a developers forum where the developers from around the world hang out and publish their wares. i always will look at the device forum of my future phone. i will look for first if there is a forum for the device. next i will look to see how active it is. if you have developers supporting your device then you are good to go.

a rule of thumb for me is no devs=no fun

so follow the link dannydet provide. i would read as much as you can there. and just from reading a few threads and from what i know, Samsung makes it super hard to root their devices. you are lucky that you have the exynos chip. here in the US only the snapdragon chip is sold and their is no root for those devices. this dates back to the note 8 which is what i have right now!!!!!!!!!!!!

so read the op here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s10/development/magisk-root-galaxy-s10-series-t3918699

and here is the last post in that thread that has the instructions on how to root:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79930522&postcount=1187

but before you do anything please read, read, read, and then read some more. ask questions here if you have any as well.

and one last thing if you do root the device and install TWRP recovery.......please make a android backuo first before making any changes to your phone. a nandroid bacxkup is like a save point in a video game. it is a complete snapshot of your phone including all of its data. if something goes wrong or you do not like something you did, you can always restore back using a nandroid backup....and your phone will ne like nothing ever happened.

and one last thing......take your time. there is no rush........and don't panic

Ring put ou an update its working now thanks for all the help/advice

Hi,

I would like to know the best, safest, but free way to root an Android device. I know there is software such as "OneClickRoot" but that costs a lot of money to use. Is there an easy, but free and safe way of doing it?

Thanks!

Click to expand...

Also I'd like to say that unless root seems impossible, never pay for software. Always check XDA for any development and if twrp, custom roms, and root are so important to you, check XDA before purchasing. Luckly enough XDA has everything we need for the V20 (not bashing androidforums, just saying always check development websites first)

I can to my main google account where should be everything saved, but I had autofill in the browser google chrome and now there are no saved usernames and passwords like before the sync, it seems like the chrome doesnt remember it after the sync (it was everything deleted by the sync beside my main account).
Maybe it should be in some cache from the past, right? But I dont know how to get back the previous data on the browser.

Yes, thank you!

Welcome and hope you enjoy the site. Cheers

I deleted your other thread, no need to post in 2 different threads.

Hi Thanks for the reply, I have copied it to my computer but am stuck now, I will play about... I think its lost

Yes after I posted I realised the error, "exclamation Mark"

Thanks, yeah I found it shortly after posting this. I didn't realize that was a core feature of the android it was right in the settings.

Does the S8 even allow you to format an SD card as internal? I didn't think Samsung included that option in their flagships.

Has it really been moved to the removable card, as opposed to moving to /sdcard (which is actually internal storage - a confusing botch to allow badly-coded old apps to run, and one of Google's great mistakes)?

"Miscellaneous data" isn't a folder. What it is is that your phone tells you your storage usage in a small number of categories, and calls everything else "miscellaneous".

I suggest looking at your apps and sorting by size (many, but not all, versions of Android allow you to do this in Settings > Apps, otherwise you can do it in the Play Store > Installed apps list). This will show you which apps are using the most storage. You may find browsers, social media apps amongst the big users. Select those apps in Settings > Apps and click on the "storage" information, and you'll have the option to clear their caches (which are just temporary files) or their data (so with care, as that will remove all of your settings, preferences, history, messages, etc for that app). My guess, from the way this has filled up, is that it's caches that are your problem - by their nature these will fill constantly.

Not recommended, and the OP is getting NPE because mChronometer variable was never initialised, as onCreate() method hasn't been called.
