Install VLC from the play store to play your videos

I did that, System won't recognize my device to play media. Getting frustrating to watch shows, every 5 Minutes it minimizes to the App Menu

Oh, that would drive me mad: I hate notifications from apps that don't let me change the sound because I can't tell which app it was and hence whether I want to look at it now or not. So I at least want messages to sound different from other things, and different message apps to sound different to each other (heck, I even have different sounds for different email accounts...), so that I can treat anything using the default sound as "probably unimportant".

Ok, as long as you're happy with it.

Yeah well mine isn't 5G, I don't have the fancy modern stuff! £30, cracked screen, broken front camera, 2GB RAM, 8 core processor, 720p screen, 12MP camera. I does what I need it to and even science research.

And Google are amongst the worst for that. They would release Nexus phones with 8GB or 16GB storage because surely nobody would need to keep anything on their device when you have Google's cloud and constant, free Internet (as long as you never left the Google campus).

You can install Debian and tweak it a bit. You can also try Manjaro based on Arch Linux. But you will also have to modify it a little bit for the touchscreen.

I found the answer, and i'm not happy about it!! It seems that Samsung decided to give every app in this phone their own ringtone. No mention of this in the manual, at all. My one shot with Samsung will be my last. I can't get back the time that i spent trying to solve this problem, but i can make sure that it doesn't happen again. As soon as my contract is up, it's bye bye Sammy.👎 :mad:

Thanks for your input, but this thread is no longer necessary. I posted this on the steam forum also and got some relevant info that helped me to decide on a phone upgrade. Thanks again.

Do Samsung allow that with a locked bootloader? I've had experience of manufactures who do not.

U, U1, and W are all cross-flashable, dating back to the Galaxy S8

I was able to do it within WhatsApp easily enough but I had trouble finding a way to do it in K9mail that I'd installed and Messages that came pre-installed. As I said above I eventually succeeded from within App Manager using the info I got from another forum.

Obviously not all user installed 3rd-party apps make it as easy as WhatsApp.

WeChat and Telegram makes it easy as well. Although for my uses those are the only user installed apps I want making notification sounds, all other non-system third-party apps I have muted.

The only times I've heard of things like that, is when trying to charge a phone or tablet at sub-zero temps. Because it's too cold to charge LiPo batteries safely.

Same here Mike.. I wonder if they are in the frozen tundra.

Welcome to Android Forums. There are near countless icons in use and unless someone here is familiar with the icon in question, we will be of little help. Being as your bf has cheated prior and refuses to freely discuss an icon on his phone leaving you to suspect and question would be justification for moving on IMO. I'm certainly not a relationship counselor and perhaps another member recognizes the icon. Good luck

You could try watching the episode and using Soundhound (or a similar app) on your phone to tell you the name of the composition. The app gets the music correct a large percentage of the time.

I do this all the time. It works pretty well.

Does anyone know how to clear "learned words"

Every time I mistype a word my keyboard "learns" it and then I have to go to each word to long press and remove learned word. Does anyone know how to clear all of it at once? I've already gone in and cleared the settings, already done Settings>General Management>Language & Input>Samsung...

It sounds like your tablet browser is in dire need of an ad blocker.

Most all players use the meta data information to sort and play .mp3 files. I'm glad you have your tags edited.

RJB · Apr 16, 2023

Thanks. I noticed it didn't have a website for tech help, so I turned here...

What I like about Yaata:

Customizable per Conversation
- Ringtone
- Bubble color
- LED color
Customizable background wallpaper
- It's the same for all conversations, but it's nice to have its own "look"
Delayed deliveries
- Basic "oh shit" delay - gives you anywhere from three to 60 seconds to edit message after you hit Send before it transmits
- Can schedule a message to go any time in the future

So if the devs can't fix it, I'm thinking of trying Pulse. Any thoughts?

@mikedt, I just listened to Red the other day, almost pulled Crimson King off the shelf instead...

Clementine_3 · Apr 16, 2023

Yeah. Not sure that updating play will actually work, it may just be a result of restarting the phone (that works for a bit also).

pengyou · Apr 16, 2023

Thank you to all, especially to ocnbre! That website did the trick.

I don't know about asking for ID information as I've not tried it, but it seems to be known in the community, as in this 2021 XDA article.

But I don't know how it works if you install an app downloaded via some anonymous account it created and then want to update from the Play Store. An app doesn't have to be originally installed from one app store for another to update it, but I don't know whether this way of doing things changes that.
