Facebook-owned messaging app WhatsApp is experimenting with a new Status feature that lets users share mood-setting pictures and videos overlaid with other custom elements such as emoji, with the content disappearing 24 hours after it’s shared — so basically a copy of Snapchat Stories.

In the Android version of the beta the main WhatsApp message screen now has a tab called ‘Status’, sitting between ‘Chats’ on the left and ‘Calls’ on the right. And while it’s always been possible to set a status message in WhatsApp, which is visible when someone views your profile, the new Status tab does not replace that traditional status message; rather it’s a whole additional channel aimed at encouraging users to share ephemeral and primarily visual content with their friends.

As with Snapchat Stories, once a user has snapped a photo or recorded a video to share within this channel they are offered a range of editing tools to augment the content — such as by drawing on a colorful scribble or adding and positioning emoji. Status also lets users add a caption to further explain whatever they’re posting. A send button shares the Status with the user’s WhatsApp contacts.

The beta app shares Status content for 24 hours, according to BGR, with no way for users to manually delete a Status after they’ve shared it at this point, nor set a longer (or shorter) lifespan for the content. Users are able to specify which of their contacts can receive Status updates — either by selecting a handful manually or choosing all and excluding a few manually (or indeed selecting all contacts to spam everyone with all Status content).

What do you guys think of this feature:confused:

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Bambooro:
Since my last device died I recently got a HTC 10, mostly because there aren't many alternatives if you want a device with good custom ROM / AOSP community support going forward.

[The device itself in my opinion is pretty unexciting, as expected, which is not really a bad thing though. Coming from an AMOLED device, I found that the screen of the HTC, while being crisp clear, doesn't get very dark at all. I often watch Youtube Videos in the dark and even on the lowest brightness setting the blacks on the screen are more gray-ish.]

While watching Youtube (or listening to music etc) without headphones, I noticed a background noise that was always there no matter what. I tried different apps and volumes and also tried changing the BoomSound mode. The noise is most noticable on the lowest volume setting while on Music mode.

Is this just my device or is this a known thing? Please report back if you noticed the same. Thank you!

Today a glass of water was accidentally spilled near my phone. I took my Spiegen Rugged case off, and as I was examining the back of my phone to see if water permeated the case, I noticed patches of scratches along the edges of the back glass panel. This was super frustrating because I've been extremely careful to constantly keep my phone encased and protected. I've been doing research, and I've read a number of proposed remedies to fix superficial scratches. I don't, however, see any testimonials validating their effectiveness. Does anyone have any suggestions? Or experience here? They aren't deep thankfully.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Shacocka:
Would the clear ones cover it up?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] cb474:
I'm just guessing, but I would imagine that a case that covers the back of the phone could cause issues if anything gets caught between the case and the glass. Then it would rub around inside, between the two surfaces, and scratch the back. It doesn't take much. Supposedly even dust has elements in it that are harder than glass and can sratch it. And a case will always have some gap in there (never being a perfect fit).

So I think some sort of plastic that adheres to the glass would be better, since nothing can get trapped in there and there won't be independent movement between the plastic cover and the glass. I never took off the plastic cover that came on the glass back on my Nexus 4 and have never had an issue (of course the plastic is worse for the wear after these many years).

Sadly, this sort of problem was to be expected since it has happened to every phone with a glass back. It baffles me that Google has repeated a mistake it already made with the Nexus 4 (and has also been shown to have issues on the iPhone 4 and Samsung's phones).

Anyway, if you're going to have the Spiegen case on the phone, then it certainly won't hurt to also adhere some sort of plastic protector to the glass part, since you'll never see it.

My husband and I just got our Samsung Gear Fit 2 bands. Under the 24-hour log it says "not on wrist" alternating with "Light" activity. I contacted Samsung customer support and did a factory reset with no luck. They said it needs to be looked at by a Samsung service center. They said that they didn't have any other reports f this issue on their website, so I'm wondering if we got two that are defective?

Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it?

I discovered that the HRM sticker was still on, which was blocking the sensor. Now, everything works fine! It seems like Samsung support should have asked me that when I notified them of the problem, because the band works just fine. They wanted me to send it to a Samsung dealer to be looked at, glad I didn't. It was a simple fix :)

Hi Guys!

So I've been doing a lot of digging around the internet and the latest I can find (can't post links but google "Latest update on enabling and disabling mobile data programmatically" for stack over flow answer from a tear ago) is that if you want to turn 3G on and off from your app you need root access. Now I just tried to root my old phone with (kingoapp, one click rooting) and it won't get past the loading screen for the last hour so I'm not too keen on rooting any more phones!

My questions are...

Is this still the case? You can't enable/disable 3G unless you have root.

This is a personal project and the app does not need to be downloaded by other users so is there any way I can do this from the USB connection maybe?

Thanks :)

Troubleshooting

The app is not 100 percent yet and you may come to install it and it may seem like its not working but its just hanging and confused so here is a tip to get it working.

Go ahead and Uninstall Slab. Install Dashclock Widget and a few Dashclock Extensions. Now install Slab and check your results.

I may take some time and develop a helper class to replace Dashclock Widget as it seems to be getting outdated. I wish Dlab to be a replacement.

I recently noticed this afternoon that Snapchat was crashing constantly when I opened it. I didn't think much of it.

I rebooted my phone, no help.

I wiped cache and davlink. No help.

I moved the app to the SD Card. No help.

I reinstalled the app. No help.

I updated the app to the latest version. Still nothing.

I remove xposed, root, and all other mods, but still nothing.

I even restored a full nandroid from more than a week ago, and still crashing. I even checked to see if I passed SafetyNet, and I did, but it was still crashing.

What is there left to do? I have no idea what to do now and I'm losing hope.

The weirdest thing is, between the last time it worked and the time I realized it was crashing, I did literally no modifications to my phone. It was on completely normal use, and it somehow found a way to start crashing. My phone is a Moto G 2014 running Android 6.0. I attached a logcat if it helps. Thanks in advance.

NullPointerExceptions are exceptions that occur when you try to use a reference that points to no location in memory (null) as though it were referencing an object. Calling a method on a null reference or trying to access a field of a null reference will trigger a NullPointerException. These are the most common, but other ways are listed on the NullPointerException javadoc page.

I don't really know what that means, my guess is software side issue. If you are going to wipe everything, I would switch to a different 6.x ROM (exodus is highly recommened:p) and Titanuim Backup everything, then when you install the new ROM install Snapchat from playstore, if it works restore TiB for latest version.

I flashed my rom and then restored a TWRP data backup I made before the flash. I knew it was a problem in my system, because a Nandroid from a time before the problem wouldn't fix Snapchat.

For most people you're right about the phone - and the random girl.

Yet no one puts cases on their fine crystal Scotch or Cognac glasses - they show them for the fine stemware beauty and art they are designed to be and treat them with care. And no one expects a random girl to be virgin clean ... especially a random that doesn't care if you're goin' in raw-dog.

I've always been disease free my whole life (I'm oooold) because I've chosen wisely .... and I've NEVER used a case on any of my Cell Phones, going all the way back to my first phone in 1992, because I treat them like the fragile glass and electronic pieces of artistic equipment they are.

As much as I agree with the analogy of cases for some people .... I certainly understand why most don't use a case.

Where we probably agree the most is when someone doesn't use a case (or condom) and then complains about how bad their lack of carefulness became a bad situation and blames everything/everyone but themselves.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Thanks; missing '4' prefix threw me. Given LTE likely a 8.9 (larger) screen model also known as Apollo.

Path to a custom ROM:

- downgrade FireOS from 4.5.5.2 to 3.2.8.0 (easy)

- root with TowelRoot (easy)

- unlock bootloader (challenging for some)

- install custom recovery (fairly easy)

- flash custom ROM (fairly easy)

Custom ROMs based on KitKat, Lollipop and Marshmallow are available. While all are stable and largely feature complete none support LTE (well); some have issues with Bluetooth. That said, if a WiFi based tablet with full access to the Google Play Store and a gorgeous screen sounds appealing then transforming your HDX will likely be worth the effort. Note some technical expertise and a Windows PC (Macs and Linux also work) is required to unlock the bootloader.

Installing Google Play Services/Store on FireOS v4 is a dicey proposition that seldom works out well. Unfortunately, 3rd gen devices can not be upgraded to FireOS v5 which plays nice (nicer) with Google Framework/Services.
