Develop Bugs

Anyone know why this wouldn't work on ICS?

Blogging site Xanga just released an app and it's not accessible for anything running 3.0+. As soon as I open the app, I get this.

Is there any way of "tricking" the app into thinking I'm running 2.3 or something? I've spoken to the developer and he said they only had 2.3 devices to test with so until they get something newer, they aren't looking into it. Any thoughts?

Tell them to download 4.0 simulator... crazy replied from the developer

I told them to root their phones and install an ICS rom.

I've found that most developers are pretty good with updating their apps for new versions. Right before the Galaxy Nexus came out I remember my phone/tablet grabbing tons of updates, and usually the update notes would say "Android 4.0 compatibility added".
But there are some developers who have either abandoned their apps completely, or just don't see the need to invest in keeping their apps updated and in tip-top shape. It's a shame, because I feel a lot of them are primarily interested in iOS, and ported their stuff over because of the demand for Android versions, but then don't really think investing their time into the Android version is worth their while.
All a part of the ecosystem I guess. Good thing about Android is that if an app isn't coded to work properly or gets abandoned, there are usually quite a few alternatives.

Background activity

There's no way to fix this? Only to wait for an update?

Thats the only way I was able to sort it,there was also a thread somewhere on s10+ with tons of battery saving things to do not sure if they changed anything cant remember

I got mine to stop in settings, device care, battery, app power management, deep sleep apps. And I just added the apps I did not want running in the background, so far it keeps them off unless I go into it and when I leave the app it gets put to sleep.

Please help - How to find out if someone has opened my phone

Hey there everyone,
I have snooping wife issues.
I need to know if there is anyway I can see if my wife has opened my phone. It's Samsung A70 running Android 10.
Are there any logs that show what time my phone was opened.
She probably knows my password.
Just wanted to know.
Thanks.
Help and cool comments are highly appreciated please.

Lol. Root cause analysis provided to prevent future failures...

This is what I did.
I found out my "sleep timings" from Samsung Health located in setup and noted my sleep time from there.
Then I collated it with "Samsung Digital Well-being" to see if any of the messaging app was operated while I was sleeping.
It was not.
So I'm going to change the login pin and password.
Let the kids grow.
I'll be living alone when they move out.

Maybe try using the goodlock module "nice catch" by samsung, it stores data about notifications by apps and sudden wakeup of phone.
If goodlock is not available in your country try other alternatives like nicelock from playstore or any other app that provides same functionality.

Solved-disable packages to stop system updates?

I'd like to disable system updates (I don't want Android 11). I have CCSWE app manager, I'm just not sure which packages to disable to make it stop bugging me about available updates. (I'm saving to root my phone, but in the meantime I want the 'update available' notification to GO AWAY)

afaik it's system/privapp/FotaAgent and system/privapp/SOAgent

I'm not sure which of these 4 did the trick, but once they were all disabled the update notification disappeared.

com.wssyncmidm is the culprit I think.
Auto-updates cause a lot more trouble than malware... malware has cost me less than 1% of wasted time compared to that caused by updates.

I'm having major problems dealing with the bloatware that came on my phone to begin with and now this Android 11 update is the end all for me..
Soooo would really be interested in finding out about this CCSWE app manager that you said you have been using to control it. I just heard a lot of bad things about the regular forms of disabling the bloatware being ineffective in Samsung's latest attack on our privacy. Appreciate any info you got to put me in the right direction, thanks.

Downgrade from Android 12 to Android 10?

Hello everyone. On YouTube I saw some videos where it was possible to activate the 120Hz frequency on the screen. I had already tried it when I had Android 11 mounted on the phone, but it didn't work. So, since I have now updated to Android 12, and to be honest, I don't like that much, I would like to go back to Android 10 to be able to take advantage of the 120Hz screen function. Is it possible to downgrade 2 operating systems?

Nope, not possible to get back to 10...
Maybe....maybe 11 if you're 'lucky'
However 120hz will never work on this phone... the mod your thinking of made the option show, but it didn't actually change the refresh rate.

The Note 10 and 10+ do not have a 120Hz capable display. Display refresh rate is a hardware capability; going back to 10 won't do anything.

Ok, thanks for the clear answers. Oh well, I'll try to go back to Android 11 anyway, because I just can't see 12, it gets on my nerves!

Highest I'll go is Android 10.
The bootloader version dictates how far you can roll back.
In this case my bootloader version is 2 on this Android 9 variant.
