Thanks MoodyBlues, that worked for me.

NewEgg has good pricing on Refurbished/Open Box/Used computers from time to time. The laptop I'm currently using has a 15.6" screen, Intel i5 CPU and 8GB RAM, SSD hard drive. It was $400

I upgraded the RAM to 16GB and loaded Linux Mint on it. It runs great!

Without a screen shot it could be any of a thousand apps.

Out of the blue, I was getting my phone out of the pocket, and a tiny peice of the upper middle,my tendency of where I mostly press and tap so consciously, it was hot for a second, there was not much background apps to really harm the device...

Yeah because endlessly raping the earth of more finite resources, encouraging disposability vs. keeping something that still works makes PERFECT sense.

The mindset of 'throw it away and buy a new one' sickens me to the core.

There are ways to bypass the so-called VoLTE mandate. I got a Galaxy S4 Mini working currently that's supposedly not supported. Let the carriers pound sand and let the users use what they want. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle in THAT order people.

Given that the OP's 12 year old Verizon HTC might be a CDMA only device. Probably can't do anything with the thing, except to BUY a replacement, as there's no CDMA netowrk to connect it to now AFAIK.

Where I am, probably millions of now obsolete CDMA phones went to the trash.


BTW I now hear that AM(Medium Wave) radio is an endangered species in the US, with many stations now shutting down their AM band transmitters. With the same thing happening in Europe.

OKAY.
I may have a working answer on the "Hells Bells" Android phenomenon.
Note, exhibit A:
.
Apparently, this is ONLY a thing with Samsung phones. Of which, this is (a 2015 Captivate Glide).
.
From what I'm reading here, many people have been complaining about these old phones suddenly playing random songs in the middle of the night, without anything showing on the display. When they hit the volume, or any other button, it disappears without a trace.
Yes that's right. Almost identical to what happened to me.
.
So how did it play a song from my computer?
Its possible it didn't. If this is right, it may have played a recently downloaded song from my Google account.
As I had the same Google account on the 2015 phone, well. There you go.
By powering it up, it became active... the bug triggered, and it grabbed a recent song my Google account record, I had listened to. From "the cloud". In order for you to download apps on your phone you must be logged into Google Play. Most people on Android are always logged in Google Play, 24/7. And when you're logged into Google Play, it keeps logs of everything you do. For eternity.
And probably, even if you aren't logged in it.
.
But I wasn't logged into Google Play on my PC!
Aha, I think I have the answer to that too. Instead of Google Play, I was logged in my Youtube account, on the PC.
Google owns Youtube.
So their computers who track everything and everyone, must have determined that it is the same person on the PC, as the phone. As it probably also has done with you and yours.
Its getting to be a really small world isn't it? And like my father likes to say, "Google knows more about the inside of my colon than I do."
Well sorry, he said it, I didn't lol.
What does anyone think?

Install a different launcher from the play store, such as Nova launcher, which has this feature

I don't know of any apps. Don't you get an airplane icon on your main screen when you are in airplane mode?

Click to expand...

Yes there is a tiny airplane icon next to the connection and battery level icons. The thing is I do not use my phone constantly. I'll set it down and won't touch it again until I need it or I get a call. It's always just been a minor inconvenience when I do notice and turn off airplane mode and see a half dozen messages or notifications pop up. But the motivation to finally seek a solution was today. Our pet just passed a couple days ago and apparently they attempted to deliver her ashes to us and the guy phoned when he was in the area. I didn't get the call, he didn't deliver.

Sorry
I mean this numbers but doesn't appear on the forum

Thanks for the extra information, ocnbrze. I'm sorry about the delay in replying, but I have been busy away from the computer. One can never have too many tips, so I shall remember that.

After gym, both Lite and Full versions are available on App Store now.
You can access and play the game here:

Play on App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/after-gym-gym-simulator-game/id1663444016
Play on App Store (Lite):

https://aftergym.onelink.me/RSMN/ifw3osfu

There's still the option of a case which hides the Apple logo and all, so it's not obvious that it's an iPhone.

Hello
thanks for the information.
it was very helpful

I think that in this case it doesn't matter whether the game is in App Store or Play Market, the question would still be the same.
By mediation I am referring to the mobile mediation platform like AdMob, Appodeal and etc.
Because if you want to monetize your app or game by yourself you need to connect all the ad networks separately but if you use mediation, you have only one SDK with the plugins from many ad networks.
So I was just wondering if anybody here had any experience and can give an advice

I fly a Chiefs flag under the American flag during the football season. I see there are some 3x5 flags on Amazon. I might have to get one before next season. Flags don't last long in the Kansas wind. I retired the Royals flag last fall and the Chiefs flag has one more season in it.

I already bought a cap.

Don't have your phone, but go to your file manager and long press the file you want to add to the home screen. A pop up menu should come up with options to add to the home screen. It might be under the 3 dots, if there is one.

What really gets me is that Ukraine is not part of Nato...
Well then, how about sending in military forces from the Nato countries into Ukraine and occupy it? Then see what Putin does. If he attacks then he'll be destroyed.
I just can't watch the Ukraine people being slaughtered while the world sits on their hands.....

Yeah it is keeping up to date, but I wonder why it saved my friends numbers, who really ticked me off one day... Huh, I have already a close circle of friends.

what are the odds of my android 11 phone getting hacked

The odds of your Android 11 phone being hacked are very low. Android 11 is the most secure version of the Android operating system to date, and Google has taken steps to make sure that it is as secure as possible. However, no operating system is completely secure and there is always a risk of your phone being hacked. To reduce this risk, you should ensure that your device is running the latest version of Android and that you have installed the latest security updates. Additionally, you should only download apps from reputable developers and sources, avoid connecting to public Wi-Fi networks, and use a secure password for your device.
