Galaxy S20+ need to change password on email account

M
Thanks for the reply, Mike. But when I choose the gear for Settings, I don't have a category called "Account and Imports". I do see "Accounts and backup". I've looked in there but didn't see anywhere to change passwords. The icon for the email app I'm using is a red circle with a white envelope. I think that's the Samsung email app. I don't understand why it doesn't ask me to enter a password when the sync fails.

Audio problem (Voice-to-Text / audio recording)

Over the years I have seen numerous post of unusual things happening after a screen replacement. As ocnbrze said get a second opinion from a professional. LG no longer makes phones. I doubt this issue will ever be resolved. You might want to start looking for a new phone.

All of those features that I mentioned are acting up were working fine prior to the screen replacement so, if that seems to happen commonly that, I would assume, had something to do with it.

The place that did the screen repair seems to be able to get LG parts still since they got the new screen and a new microphone so I will try to see if they can repair it but, I will look for other places that also do repairs that might be more helpful.

I'm really disappointed that LG stopped making phones because I really prefer their interface over Samsung. I think it's still possible to order LG phones on Amazon, though. I would assume if I were to purchase one T-Mobile would still be able to activate their services on it since I know various providers allow people who switch providers to keep their old phones but, perhaps you might know for certain one way or the other.

If I do have to get a new phone from T-Mobile, which brand / model would you recommend? I know Samsung is generally the most popular android phone brand now, but are there any that have a more similar interface to LG that you know of? I'm mainly concerned about being able to transfer all my stuff from my LG to a different brand of phone since I've always had LGs and used the LG Mobile Switch to transfer things over from an old phone to a new one.

Thanks for the help.

Help Managing the screen background

Hadron
I don't think you can do anything about it. It is what it is.

Of course this is software, so in principle if you could find the piece of code responsible and change it then you could do something. But you'd have to find the bit of the system behind this, probably decompile it, edit, probably recompile and replace (take a Nandroid backup before trying anything like that). I don't offhand know where to find this though. It's not something that they provide a control for or which the launcher can alter.

So you are the other person in the world that plays Enjoy Sudoku. :p For what its worth, my stat's carried through most phones using the various transfer tools up until my Pixel 7, but at the time, I wasn't able to run Enjoy Sudoku as I got it from the Amazon Free App of the Day and I couldn't load it for a few months.

"Storage card" is your internal storage, or more precisely it's the part of the internal storage that's available to the user for apps, data and media. This is historical in origin, but the user-accessible part of the storage can be viewed as if it were a storage card (a decade ago you'd find references to an "internal SD card", which was really a partition in the internal storage and not an SD card at all).

So what it tells me is the size of your actual system partition, and that that isn't growing. This "user volume" of the internal storage is 10934 MiB in size, where "MiB" is used to denote the binary definition of "MegaByte". This is equal to 10.6 GiB, while your phone has a capacity of 16 GB (decimal) = 14.9 GiB. So that tells us that your system partitions total 4.3 GiB in size (or 4.6 GB in decimal units), which is pretty consistent with your U11.

Unfortunately that doesn't solve the problem, it just tells us that the actual system partition is not growing in size. The problem is that 6215 MiB (= 6.07 GiB or 6.52 GB) of "system data" you can see in the second shot. My guess is that that is being added into the "system" usage in your storage menu. The trouble is that without root you can't see what is actually in there, so that doesn't help us understand the cause or fix it.

Did you get a lot of app updates after doing the factory reset? My guess would be that any system app that was also in the Play Store would probably be updated, since the ROM is bound to contain old versions (as it's old itself), and that would contribute to some of this. But it's hard to believe that adds up to 6 GB, and that wouldn't keep growing with use. You've ascertained that caches don't count for a lot of it, so that only leaves system app data (which you probably don't want to erase). But it does still seem like a lot.

At least 20 apps were updated but for now it is staying at around 8GB. Before that I had less apps installed when "System" reached 10GB. So I guess as long as it doesn't get over 8GB like before I won't mind. I will look into rooting the phone since it seems like it could be really useful for finding/fixing issues like this one. In the end if the phone continues to have issues I can replace the motherboard because when I bought it I got another one with a broken screen that seems to be functional. Thank you for the help :).

Duplicate contacts problem...

There are two places where this is setup to receive emails. The first is in Your Account, within the Preferences, automatically watch content you create and receive email notifications should be checked. Second place to check is at the top right of your thread is an option to Watch Thread and receive email notifications should be checked. I hope that this provides the emails you are anticipating.

Azure Portal - Cognitive Services monitoring issues

D
I've got a library full of documents. I would like to be able to know some more about these documents without reading through all of them. On the first page of each document I already put some relevant information about the document such as year of creation, author, number of pages and confidentiality.

I want to use some AI to browse through these documents and decide which is what and return it to me so I can store it in a CSV or something. This way I'll be able to easily find the right document.

Now, I did use LUIS and some of the TAA service of Azure's cognitive services before. But I cannot figure out a way how to accomplish this. Is it theoretically possible to send the first page (using a powershell script to cut the rest of the document

Automatic delete camera folder once a day?

M
Thanks man. Yes, Tasker and Macrodroid can do this, but they are to complicated and unreliable when they should run for months alone.
But I found a solution. "Delete Old Files" app, can be found in ApkPure. You only input folder path to delete and number of days to keep the files. This wont work in the last android versions because of the constant increasing Google restrictions, but on a android 6.0 it's good.

Help How to Lock Samsung note app?

spman said:
Hi,

How to set a password or fingerprint lock to Samsung Note app so whenever I tap the app it will request password or fingerprint? Does it require 3 party app or Samsung secure folder or something else? Thanks.

I only found how to lock individual Samsung notes inside the app after opening the app, e.g. the guides below

"Samsung Notes features and settings
Lock your notes: If you want to keep some notes private (like your poetry collection), you can lock them. Open your desired note, tap More options (the three vertical dots), and then tap the Lock icon. Next, follow the on-screen prompts to create a password for your note.
Note: If you want to change the password, navigate to Samsung Notes' settings, tap Note unlock methods, and then tap Change password. A Samsung account is required to lock notes." source Use Samsung Notes features and settings

Secure your Samsung Notes documents with a fingerprint or password

Samsung Notes is one of the best apps exclusive to the One UI experience. It's also secure and lets users lock documents behind passwords or fingerprints.
