Help Telegram contacts question

Hi,

I think any of my contacts that login to telegram I will see something like this "John joined Telegram" screenshot https://i.imgur.com/O0DzP3u.png

Assume my name is John and I login to telegram today.

1. Will [Delete Synced Contacts] remove [John joined Telegram] message that appeared in my friend phone (friend number is in my phone contacts)?

2. How to prevent "John joined Telegram" message from appearing in my friend phone (friend number is in my phone contacts)?

3. What does [Delete Synced Contacts] in telegram do?

4. Does this "John joined Telegram" reappear in my friend phone (friend number is in my phone contacts) everytime i logout and relogin telegram?

5. Does pressing [Delete Synced Contacts] delete my existing added friend contact and chat history seen in my telegram?

6. Does pressing [Delete Synced Contacts] delete "John joined Telegram" that is already in my friend phone?

Thanks

Help Can't see the notification in messaging for "read"

I did not find any of the settinngs or categories of settings listed above, but in looking at my apps section, it seems like two applications are installed, but none were done by me. I flipped back and forth between the two, setting them as default. When I looked back at my wife's messages, the very last one (only) showed "read", so maybe it will start working for future messages.

Ok, I had my wife send me another text. I am now getting notifications as on my Note 8, such as "sent", "delivered", "read", etc., whatever they might exactly be. Toggling between the apps and setting them as default then going back to the original app, then setting it as default did it.

Greetings,

Nice Android forum you have here. The wireless site I was using kind of dried up with very few people posting anymore.

I started out with Palm phones and i was a moderator on one of the old Palm forums. After HP bought Palm I switched to Nokia phones. When Microsoft bought Nokia I used Window phones for a while. When Window phones died out I switched to Google phones. I currently have a Pixel 7.

I'm a retired IBEW electrician. I have a house in Illinois and a waterfront land plot in southern Tennessee for my travel trailer.

(oh I am from Illinois as well buddy) Nice to meet you, I started with Moto razar, went to Samsung for a few cells, went back to moto, and have a Samsung tablet :)

Motorola Edge (2022) & Mint Mobile WiFi Calling

It is not listed as compatible on their website which is confusing. I have mint, and if the phone supports wifi calling, Mint could use it. It says it is compatible on T-Mobile, which is what Mint runs on. Hit up Mint's support, I've always had great luck with them in the past.


(you may need to scroll all the way to the bottom of this page, click the See Full Specs link, then at the bottom it lists connectivity compatibility with various carriers.

Appreciate it.

Underlining off?

Yes. I changed Gboard to Samsung keyboard

I am going to try revisiting that option as I have that issue but I also saw it happening on a display model (Verizon) Z Fold 4 and S 22 (Ultra?). In my case, the real problem is that after the underlined text if I hit enter/return, nothing much happens depending upon what app/browser etc that I am working in. If I hit the spacebar, then it works. I think that you mentioned something like this.

How do I transfer apps from Samsung Galaxy J7 Sky Pro to a micro sd card?

Where do you reside? Here in the U.S. Verizon is the only major carrier that still supports the CDMA standard. Elsewhere GSM is the common default. So unless you intend to use Verizon, or any MVNO carriers contracted to Verizon, CDMA isn't really an issue. Even Verizon is gradually just letting it fade off into history.

I am in the US. Thanks for letting me know that. When I saw that on the phone description I thought it would be more of an issue than it really is based on what you are saying.

Yes.
There are two systems in the USA, GMS and CDMA.

CDMA has supposedly been on its way out for a very long time.

There are devices that are compatible with one or the other, or both.

Obviously the ones that have both abilities will have more apps and hardware on them to be able to work on both systems.

This amount is nothing in terms of reality.
It is nice to have a device that will work anywhere because it is not dependent upon only one system.

You could do some traveling to somewhere that you have no service.
A quick trip to a store, and a SIM card for any local provider will work for the time that you are there.

You could find that you wish to choose carriers, and the ability to use both systems increases your options about who your service can come from.

All major US cellular companies use one or the other system.
The smaller companies just rent the use of the towers from the big providers.

I appreciate this information. Since you said this I think I will try to find a phone with both or if I can't see one of those just get a GSM phone.

What makes an incoming call say 'suspected scam'?

As far as I know, there are numbers that get on these sort of lists.

Apps like TrueCaller use these user and other provider lists to block calls and/or give a message as you describe.

There are other apps that do the same thing.

You may try contacting whoever is running symuch an app to see if there is a way to get the number off the list.

I dont have any more details, as it was years ago that I had any experience with such an app.

If I remember right, there was an option in the settings to contact the developer(s) or the people with the lists to get a number removed.

Help Returning deleted files

Since that mp3 file just keeps restoring itself when you delete it, that could be just some app is stuck in some kind of one-off glitch. All apps have their own folders that are essentially not visible unless you're intentionally trying to directly view them, and given that file is only a few bytes in size it's likely to be something like sound effect some app makes as an indicator of some function (i.e. tap on an app button and there's a chirp).

In this instance finding the source app is going to be a challenge but if it is just a glitch, have you just restarted your Pixel? A restart often fixes a lot of occasional glitches that pop up. If you have and that file continues to keep restoring itself, then it's a matter of trying to determine the source of the problem.
How quickly does that file restore itself after you delete it? A few minutes? A couple of days?
-- If the former, try what @ocnbrze suggested, restart your Pixel into its Safe Mode, delete that mp3 file, and see if it returns. If not that's an indicator some app you've installed is the culprit. It helps narrow down the list apps to look into but if you have a lot of installed apps you're still stuck with what could be a tedious project to determine just which app. Start going through your apps in batches using Force stop and Clear cache until you find the app in question, then do the same individually, that batch, to find just which one.
-- If the latter, Safe Mode isn't a practical option, using a smartphone in Safe Mode for an extended time is more than just annoying, it will involve issues with basic functionality (i.e. apps syncing with their online services).
