    Device says my app blocked by play protect because I'm not a recognised developer

    I have just completed alpha testing of the latest version of my app. As usual, I then created a signed apk and copied it to a Samsung tablet for beta testing. When I click on the apk on the target device, I get a message telling me that the install has been blocked by Play Protect because it...

    Unwanted accented letters using external keyboard.

    Thanks for the tip. I'd still like to find a way to disable this feature, if there is one. The whole purpose of an external keyboard was to get my ideas down quickly (touch typing) when the muse strikes. Having to remember to hit space after every quote that's followed by a vowel may not sound...

    Unwanted accented letters using external keyboard.

    Keyboard was a cheapie off Amazon UK. Tried to post you a link but this forum won't let me. It arrived in an anonymous white box with no branding on the device, the packaging or the (minimal/useless) instruction sheet. Only ID was SJP-001 on underside of keyboard. Didn't notice anything on the...

    Unwanted accented letters using external keyboard.

    It happens in other apps too. For example, when composing an email. Sorry, I should have thought to try that before posting. I had a look at the keyboard settings but couldn;t find anything there to turn this feature off. I also had a trawl around the web and found some stuff about "Key...

    Unwanted accented letters using external keyboard.

    I am a writer and I have recently taken to keeping my current works in progress in cloud storage so that if I get good ideas when I'm out and about I can edit my book on my phone and have the latest version available on my computer next time I'm back home. The phone is a Samsung Galaxy S3 and...

    Phone beeps despite blocking mode

    I would like to be able to use my phone as an occasional alarm clock but, whenever I try, it always wakes me up early with annoying beeping noises around 6:30-7:30am. Today, for example, I needed to get up at eight. Using an app I downloaded (Alarm Clock Plus vn. 5.1) I set an alarm for 08:00. I...

    hdmi cable worked once then no sound

    The cable is the sort with three ends - ie. no additional cable required. Both the TV and the phone have been turned off and on (although in the TV's case I only put it in standby). I have tried the power end in both a mains adapter and one of the TV's spare USB ports and I've tried different...

    hdmi cable worked once then no sound

    Thanks for your interest. I'm not aware of having made any significant changes to settings but I am clutching at straws. Currently, the only other viable explanation I can think of is that the cable I ordered for the princely sum of four pounds, and which took weeks to arrive from deepest China...

    hdmi cable worked once then no sound

    I just ordered one of those cables that convert the Samsung Galaxy S3's USB port into HDMI out, so I can watch the phone's output on my TV. The cable comes from a supplier of compatible cables. It's not Samsung branded. The cable has three connectors. A standard USB for power, a micro(?) USB for...
