[Q] Which type of lock do you prefer and why? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

There are various ways to lock phone or apps.
Given all kinds of locks are available in your smartphone, which one will you use most frequently?
And why?
Password
Pattern
FingerPrint
FaceLock
Voice Lock
Fake Cover
others?
Note: Fake Cove is a tricky way of showing your phone/apps being locked.
If some intruders try to access your phone, he/she will be confused and give up intruding.
Fake Cover is better for sake of less awkward situation.
Here are some examples:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
PS: I am just explaining what is Fake Cover, not trying to tell you the strong points of it.
Do not let my explanation affect your choice.

I need more anticipants for this poll~~~

When you choose `Other`, could you please tell me what is it exactly?

None. With how easy they are to bypass and the fact that no one touches my devices there is no need for one for me.

I think locks are not only for against intruders, but also for thieves.
If your phone got lost by accident, locks can secures your data, since we all have so many valuable data stored in cellphone.

[Q] Widget: show certain part of a webpage

Hello,
Is there any way to display a certain part of a webpage in a widget on home screen with a manual (or auto) refresh button to sync it with the website?
For example, I have the following website and want to only show the table I circled in red on my home screen.
Please advise on this.
Thanks for your help.
Code:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You'd have to make your own widget as I doubt that there is one that already exists for the website you want.

Thanks. I understand that. I am wondering if there is any program to do the above for any website? Essentially, what I am looking for is a method to set a portion of a website on the widget. That portion could be anything (image, header, ...). In my case, that is the table.
Thanks again for your help.
I highly doubt that there is one, and, if there is one, it likely doesn't work particularly well. Each website is made differently, and sometimes there is a lot behind the scenes that makes the site work (i.e. the HTML isn't necessarily going to be complete by itself). Your best bet would be to make a widget yourself, or to find one online or through the Play Store.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Android Powered Dash Cam...Need Some Help/Advice/Etc

So, I purchased this neat dash cam/backup cam/GPS Android-powered rear view mirror from eBay and received it today. I've been playing around with it a bit and I'm curious first off, if anyone on XDA happens to have it. I'm curious if anything has been done to it yet.
I have an issue signing into an account with it, Google Account Manager crashes when I try creating a new account and it doesn't connect to the server when I try logging into an existing account. I tried all the normal fixes (clear cache, etc) with no success. I have internet access though because I'm able to use browser and navigation. Also, the speech is super annoying. It's in "English" but it's a super strong Chinese accent and I can't change it or download any other voice options.
If anyone is curious for more information on it, let me know and I'll provide what I can. I want to toy around with it a bit and I'm hoping someone has already done so. I also need to fix the issues I'm having and I'm not sure where to begin. I've been out of the development game since GS3.

Simulate click on a specific area on the screen.

Hello everyone. I am staying in a foreign country for a while and using a scooter to get around with the help of google maps by listening the directions through my headphones. Sometimes though i need to hear again the last directions and so right now i need to stop and take out my phone in order to do that. So here comes the question i have in mind: is there an app to simulate clicking on a certain area on the screen ( the green bar on upper side of google maps that repeats the directions, in my case
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
) and then reasign that action to my headset button ? Also i am running google maps in background with the screen off but i dont mind it working with the screen on either. I hope you guys can help me. Thanks in advance.
Hello,
If your phone is rooted, you can use "Automate" (Google Play free app) to create a macro.
Never tested with Google Maps, but I think it's work.
Thanks a lot bro !!! I got it to work with the screen on, now i'm trying to make it unlock the phone, run the command and then lock back. I doubt that i will succeed though but it's good enough anyway. Thanks again !!

Question Smart Lock fingerprint unlock 'feature'

I have Smart Lock enabled using my Bluetooth watch.
By design, I think Smart Lock times out after 4(?) hrs, right?
At that point it seems I have to use PIN unlock, and the phone will not offer fingerprint unlock. Is that right/a bug/a "feature". Annoying, anyway.

I thought it was random but I believe you are correct and it will force you to use a PIN and not the FP scanner. I have this as well but didn't think much of it until you made the connection here.
cheers
I thought this was silly too, but then I read that fingerprints are actually considered less secure than pins:

Question Realme find my device

Hello, I am an old Xiaomi owner and first time decided to give a try to another brand and try this beautiful phone GT 2 PRO. All these years, using different Xiaomi phones, I have the find device option from Xiaomi cloud.
Anytime I lost my phone I could log in to Xiaomi and using find my device I was able to locate it if it has data or wifi. Now with RealMe, there is no something equivalent. RealMe suggests ujsing Google Find my device. But Google find my device not only needs data or wifi which makes sense but also needs to have GPS on to track it.
This is bad because I may have GPS off when I will lose and in any case, I close the GPS when I do not need it to save battery.
Is there a way to even open GPS remotely somehow or a similar app like Xiaomi cloud to find my device without the need to have GPS on?
Thanks!
China Rom has it

So I am afraid for Europe there is no something we can do?
Even an external app like Google find my device without the need for GPS.
I used to use Cerberus.
Now I'm not so afraid of losing the device. It's harder to crack, Google protects it more.
