Android 11 Laptop

[Lu Rounsaville]

SoI have a Samsung Android Laptop, and have downloaded Microsoft Excel. I have noticed certain functions are not on my application. The one I am trying to use now is What-If Analysis. On my laptop, in excel, under data, I do not have the what if analysis option. I am just looking to see if there is a way to make my Excel application work as a normal Excel on a desktop computer. Help would be appreciated. Thank You

Stephen, Excel (as other Office apps) has different set of functionality on Windows, MacOS, Online, Android and iOS. Full functional Excel is on Windows, other platforms have limitations. IMHO, you could do nothing with that, only change the platform.

I checked it on my Samsung Galaxy S3 and S4 and the same thing. On my son's iPhone, its accurate. On two laptops its accurate. I even took a screen shot of my laptop and emailed it to myself, then checked it on my phone....same thing. Then I used my camera on my phone and pointed it to my laptop screen...same thing....neon. So I'm thinking its either all Androids (because I have no other android device besides Samsungs) or its just Samsung phones.

Here is a link to the image. View it on your phone and on the laptop and tell me what you think on how I could fix this. I know I'm developing for Android so maybe I need to adjust the color specifically for android. But if anyone has something other than Samsung and let me know how it displays vs the laptop I'd really appreciate any input.

So essentially that is what it looks like on my phone, but with a touch of blue to it, but this displays the "neon" brightness that I'm seeing.....but I'm happy with the way it looks in the laptop, however, maybe I should use a different color for the android application that more mimics what I see on the laptop, especially since its an android app :)

Basically, instead of each pixel getting a red, green, and blue subpixel that are the same size, a PenTile pixel gets red and green or blue and green subpixels. The red and blue are larger than the green to balance the brightness.

For example, my iMac displays the green image differently to the external monitor (EIZO) attached to it. That doesn't make any colour "right" or "wrong" - it's all down to the monitor's reproduction.

So yes, the images are different. My Sony Xperia (Android) shows a different colour to my MacBook Pro (although certainly not Neon). Slightly more yellow, as noted above. But it's not just Android - it's everything.

P.S. I've never heard - or noticed - Samsung's displaying a "weird" green, so maybe it's just this exact shade? Samsung will have written drivers for their display (and colour profiles) so it could totally be a real issue with this colour that causes this problem.

I am a designer usually i send my designs to the customers by WhatsApp Web. The main problem occured while seeing the design on phone colors are very different green looks light green, Blue looks cyan. I tried to send my Jpeg images after convert to RGB. That worked. Colours are perfect. Smart Phone displays only RGB colours perfect. Not CMYK.

The difference is in screen technology. Laptops use TN or IPS. Apple uses IPS. Phones use TN, IPS or (am)oled. By pretty mych every measure exept cost, TN is the worst. IPS is a bit more costly but pretty great quality.

The Samsung Galaxy S3 uses amoled, which is an odd beast. It doesn't use a acklight and 'shutters' in front of it, but it actually lights up each (sub)pixel individually. This means it has excellent blacks, since there isn't any of the backlight seeping through the 'shutter'. It also makes them thinner and more power efficient - pretty sweet benefits for a pocketable device.

But oleds are organic matter (that's what the 'o' means) and tend to deteriorate faster than traditional screens. [note: maybe current generation stuff has been fixed?] So you'll get weird colors. For example:The discolored left bar shows a ghost image of the onscreen buttons, which are on a black background. As the black background means those pixels are off, they don't wear down while the rest of the screen does. So over time, the rest of the screen darkens, but this doesn't.

Oleds also have the capacity to have much stronger/saturated colors than a regular screen. Which sounds nice, it can show a wider gamut, but in reality it means that normal colors ger pumped and become garisch colors. This can be fixed with good calibration, but most manufacturers don't because these colors make the screens pop:

Also. Nathan Rabe mentioned pentile grids. These shouldn't really influence the color, not on a large area like this anyway. It's more of an issue with details and edge sharpness. Perhaps if you used a checkerboard of 1x1 pixels, too, but that's a very niche case. For large areas it doesn't matter much.

Imagine if I give you an apple, banana, orange for food. Or an apple, an apple and a orange one day and banana banana orange the next. For one day week matters. For a week, still. You'd get 8 apples, 6 bananas and 7 oranges. A bit off balance. But over a whole year? 366 apples, 364 bananas, 365 oranges. STILL a bit off, but not enough to make a significant difference.

Calibrate your phone, if possible. My phone, a Huawei Ascend P1, has a setting in the display menu that is toggled on by default. It pumps the colors. You don't want that. If you can find something similar on your Samsung, disable it. It might not fix the issue entirely, but it'll alleviate it. Obviously this only works on YOUR phone though, so everyone else using the site still sees the garish color.

I am not able to discover or ping my laptop from any android app (I used Fing/network discovery). I see that the Gateways are different in both devices and so is the IP range. This is my office network, so I cannot control IPs and Gateways assigned to my devices. Is there anyway to connect these two devices using wifi in this case?

A Subnet is separated from another Subnet by a router. The fact that they have different default gateways would indicate they're possibly on different Subnets. You could confirm this by looking at the Subnet mask each device has.

Looking at the IP information you have provided, there's a good chance that both devices will have the following Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0. This Subnet mask means that they would be on different Subnets.

Even with routes to each other, there can still be various reasons why a ping will not work. As an example, the ICMP echo (ping) could be blocked on a network switches' ACL (Access Control List). This means that your devices could communicate with each other in all other aspects, just cannot ping each other.

If your phone has the feature, then a way you could do this is to create a hotspot on your phone. Connect the laptop to the hotspot and they will then be on the same network and you should find they will be able to ping each other.

Some of us have had a fascination with tech that transforms into other tech, ever since we saw Soundwave pop out his robot cassette tape and it turned into a robo-dog. Perhaps a similar fan came up with the latest Lenovo ThinkBook Plus design. Rip the screen off this otherwise unassuming laptop and you get a 14-inch Android-powered tablet. Unlike other tablet-laptop hybrids a la the Surface or Yoga form factors, this is literally two devices in one.

What if you want to run the whole thing as an Android-based laptop? No problem. While docked you can touch a Function button, at which point Windows fades into the background and Android comes to the foreground, with your keyboard and trackpad accessible to the Google-fied interface. And yes, the tablet has access to the Google Play Store and all standard apps.

I faced the same issue with my lenovo laptop, all I did was minimized all open application and refreshd window you can say the desktop where you see your wallpaper(Right click on window(HomeScreen)) and click refresh) in my case I used Fn+F5 and it solved my issue.

It sounds strange, but true. I was facing issue in Android studio arctic fox patch 3. Whenever I opened Excel in my laptop, if I scroll in studio, it was scrolling in Excel. Just check if you have opened any applications which involves scrolling(it my case the culprit was Office Excel).

Greetings! I know I had Litchi installed and working on my old laptop so I tried to install it on my newer laptop using BlueStacks as suggested. It installed from the Google Play Store just fine but it will not run. I have even tried deleting and reinstalling BlueStacks but that did not help. I can start the app but all I get is a blank black screen.

I have started a case with BlueStacks but I have not gotten any response from them yet. I am hoping that someone here can help me out with this so I can plan some missions using my laptop. Thanks and Happy New Year to all!

No. The app (IOS or Android) are designed to run on devices that operate on those platforms.

Pre-planning a waypoint mission on a Windows PC is the purpose of the Mission Hub. Then, the mission is synced with the Android or IOS device and is ready to run.

The last point. that you made about being comfortable. is exactly the same point. In my text.

I am far more comfortable. Drawing. a provisional. route And after that is complete. I can fine tune it in. mission hub. My missions. always use more than 10 to 15 waypoints.

For a couple of years now. I have been experimenting. with synchronizing my flights with music.

(I'm aware some highly skilled hacker types can probably do it using AOSP. I'm also aware I could just use a VM or emulator. For this question I'm only exploring the options of installing natively on the hardware.)
