Excellent questions. The free repair of the 53 is independent of the 54 suggestion. Repair of the 53 is free, and purchase of a 54 is optional and is full price. I really would enjoy watching the repair, so will consider paying an independent who will allow me to watch. That might be worth the cash.

So far, no software has accessed the phone, and the software which promises it can, does not have the 53 as a selection. Seems the touch portion of the screen is dead,

Will check on repair times but probably still get the 54 for expediency and add recent info as needed.

Is this app useful or not?

Ah awesome thanks, I will check it out now!

Here's the latest. His phone had some message in Chinese, I guess, on the lock screen. It was in red and blue. When I checked it out it seemed to have been factory reset. I couldn't get it to take his email address at first, but it worked on the second try. When it set up the googoo account (nasty), it shoved in four extra apps. Maybe we should be thankful that they at least admitted that and the horrible things could be uninstalled. Is his phone infected? I warned him but I don't believe he's taking it seriously.

I THINK ITS DC

Don't be stupid, I can play AC/DC from my music collection, so it must charge with a bit of AC too or it wouldn't sound right.

Waze rocks !!

Do they play voice calls in one ear only? Because that's what the OP was asking for (2 years ago).

They also wanted a boom mic, which I know the XM4s don't have, but it was the "play calls in one ear only" that was the stronger requirement (personally that would sound very odd to me, but it's what they wanted).

I have a 14 pro and it gets hot all the time when I use it to take photos. But I have not received any notifications about overheating.

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".

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.

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:

How to decrypt PIN-Based encrypted backup data of Samsung smartphones

Smartphones, which are a necessity for modern people, have become important to forensic investigators, as they have a lot of user information which ca…

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

Development thread moved to the dev area for better exposure.

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

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).

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

Click to expand...

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,.

I moved this to the ASUS forum.

Ahhhhhh excellent, it is like most of the developers on here forget about screen shots and videos!

Looks like I'll have to answer my own question. The ONLY way to solve my problem with the Play Store was to do a "factory reset" on the device.

A week later it is the turn of the carrier branded devices to receive the May update.


U.K. carrier devices on the following CSC codes are now rolling out...

• BTE = BT (UK)
• BTB = BT OnePhone (UK)
• EVR = EE (UK)

Yeah thats about a mother fker. I guess maybe worth the 30$ or handheld computer has 4gb 64gb.

There has to be polish or acrylic that allows one to text with long nails. I just took the train to downtown Chicago. I was sitting in an upper level seat and there was a woman below typing real fast using only the long nails on her thumb

Try updating the Samsung apps thru the Samsung store.

Got it to work from the link above thanks guys.
