Set do not disturb exceptions by schedule

Yes, it's an obvious feature. Pixels have it, as @Clementine_3 has shown, and from glancing at a couple of other brands' online documentation I think they aren't alone. Samsung also lacks any feature to trigger DND on calendar events, which others have (though I have used Tasker for that since I got my first Android), so it does look like Samsung chose to dumb it down.

I don't know whether Bixby can be used to provide more sophisticated options, because I have that turned completely off (likewise Assistant - the data collection these things require is beyond my tolerance). But even if it can it would be very silly to remove options from the Settings and force you to use some proprietary thing like that to achieve the same result. Software has never been Samsung's strong point, but it's kinda weird that they take so much out of DND when their approach to phones is generally "stuff everything we can think of in even though most people won't use most of it".

Pixel 5a Simultaneous Bluetooth Devices

Alright. I've heard that from a couple forum posts and from some other users as well, but those cases usually deal with both a smart watch and an audio device. I'm not sure how that would translate to an audio receiver and a detector that, as far as i know, doesn't take in or output audio via bluetooth.

Yeah, that's my setup, it's a Huawei fitness band, and various BT headphones and speakers. Which both do connect and work perfectly with my Samsung Note20 Ultra phone.

I've never seen or used a Pixel phone. So I don't think I can help you much more. Somebody else on AF maybe able to assist.

How To View a Call Log File from an Android Phone?

Nuts, I mistakenly wasted your time on Wondershare. My apologies
Reading further this worked with the older Samsung Kies backups but Samsung continues to upgrade its encryption protocols in its newer SmartSwtich backups so this no longer applies.

This link is an interesting article on the matter, decrypting a SmartSwitch backup:
But apparently the report is based on using the SmartSwitch utility, which in this particular instance is the heart your problem -- getting that elusive phone call log to successfully import into the Phone app on your new phone. I'm out of other suggestions.

Thats okay, was worth a try.

I asked this same question in another android forums, and a user volunteered to test restoring his S7 smart switch backup of his to his current phone, he found that the old call logs did NOT restore for him either, but everything else did.

He thinks its because of the older vs newer versions of android causing some conflict. Weird, because its just call history, its not like an old App or something

Trying to setup mySQL

Hi, total newbee here. I have installed android studio and followed a couple of simple lesson projects. Now I want to move up to a database project. I installed the current java connector for mySQL along with the workbench. Using the workbench I was able to construct a database and tables with some data. The tutorial I am following talks about importing a jar file which is supposed to be part of the mySQL archive, but I cannot find it anywhere on my pc. The tutorial is a few years old and I know things have changed. So is this jar file no longer needed? Can someone help me out here?

Also, it would be helpful if someone could point me to some more recent (current) tutorials.

Thanks

Help Strange Contact

How would spam get into your contact list? Just sending a message doesn't auto-add it to your contacts (certainly not by default, though one could write a phone or message app that did that). And why would anyone hack your phone just to insert a strange contact? If I were hacking a phone I'd try to not let the person know, not put cryptic clues where they were likely to find them.

No, I don't know how it got there. "Finger trouble" is usually the simplest explanation for oddities, e.g. accidentally pressing the wrong button when trying to edit, delete or block something, but it's impossible to say just from the fact that you have something in your contacts list how it got there. Try typing the number into a search engine and seeing whether anything comes up (if it's associated with some spam or scam it's likely that others will have posted or asked about it somewhere).

Vim + python in version 4.4

Wonder where did i mention "Python Development" rather im talking about using python via vim plugin


Well you did state in your OP, and I quote "my ultimate goal is to write source code on the device but for this i need python support"

I'm no expert and I'm not a dev myself, but that does sound very much like "Python Development" to me. Especially with your key phrase "write source code"


Maybe you do need a full blown GNU/Liinux or Unix OS for this? That has a complete suite of GNU dev tools,.
:p

Change the title of a saved google map

It could be much simpler and straightforward, IMO, but I think it's purposely designed to have to you search around the app for what you want to do, eventually, possibly, leading to some ad.

I was using Waze. My problem is that is there are so many twists and turns, often happening in short distances. I had one experience where I missed one turn. The time it took to backtrack and correct my mistake negated any time saving benefit I would have gained.

This morning, I learned from my girlfriend, had a tortilla, I put it inside the toaster oven last, when mixing up a few of my cousin's local business eggs, I twirl it around a few times with a spatula, added some pepper salt, I garnished it with cheese. :)

I have with me a LG K9, the phone is locked on the LG logo and keep on it for a eternety. I tried to do a Hard Reset using the buttons, but when i sel

Odd, because just typing "fastboot download" into a search engine gives me a long list of sites I can download it from.

If you want somewhere "official" then maybe try this one: SDK Platform Tools release notes | Android Studio | Android Developers. That gives you download links for a zip containing several command line tools, including fastboot (also ADB, the "USB debugging" tool, and a few others I've never used).
