Very annoying problem with Realme 8

svim
Is there an approximate day of each month when this problem occurs? Early in the month? Middle? Late? Or is it too random to pin down?
There's apparently something happening in the background on your phone that's triggering this odd behavior, and for only a limited time period. Finding what the actual cause that correlates with something like this might be a real challenge.

There's a 'Running services' option in your phone that will show you a more comprehensive listing of running apps and services than the Settings >> Battery menu. (The Battery menu will only show apps, there's a possibility that the problem could be an app but just as likely due to some background Android OS process or service.) But you do need to enable the Developers Options menu in order to access Running services. The Developers Options menu is a part of the installed Android OS on your phone, but it's typically hidden by default (use it judiciously and with intent, don't just randomly experiment with things as some of them can really mess up your phone).

Anyway, take note of the what apps and services are typically running when your phone is working normally. Note that listing is going to vary constantly. When that weird behavior does occur, check Running Services again to see if anything stands out as odd.

Astroyogi Astrologer: Online Astrology & Horoscope

S
I have been using this app for a while, and I have to say that it is the best one I have come across. The astrologers are very knowledgeable and seem to know what they are talking about. I highly recommend this app to anyone looking for an online astrology consultation. I found it while searching for midheaven in Capricorn careers, and it shocked by the results I got. Also, I've found some interesting articles that I can recommend you to read where each career path is detailed.

How to fix picture is upside down on screen

S
Hi all,

I need to setup remote desktop on Android mobile as follow;

1) Samsung Galaxy S9+ phone(phone-1) as camera, mounted at the end of an extension rod.
Software running - Teamviewer Quickconnect App

2) Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra phone(phone-2) as "remote controller", mounted at the handle of the extension rod
Software running - Teamviewer Remote Control

It works. phone-1 can be remotely controlled on phone-2 to capture video seamlessly.

The only problem is;
phone-2 can't be mounted horizontally. It can only be mounted vertically.

If phone-2 is mounted horizontally, the video on its screen is inverted. The picture is upside down.

Please advise how to fixed the problem. Thanks in advance.

Regards

Help Unable to download MMS on wifi without roaming while traveling internationally (S9, T-Mobile)

Hi all,

I have a stock S9 on T-Mobile and use Google Messages and/or Samsung Messages (the built-in app.)

I travel internationally and recently started receiving "gentle" reminders from T-Mobile that "roaming benefits are not intended for extended use abroad." You know, "Sprint + T-Mobile, better together", blah blah blah.

I am usually on wifi so I disabled roaming expecting hardly any consequences. And had no issues except I discovered that I am unable to download MMS messages (photos or texts in groups) UNLESS I enable roaming again.

You can't receive MMS from WiFi, not unless you have WiFi messaging and calling service from the carrier. If that can be done internationally while roaming, no idea.

DankeShen said:
This is happening with both Google Messages and Samsung Messages apps.

Is there some setting or configuration that I am missing or is it that wifi is not enough and mobile data/roaming is required?

My concern, of course, is that T-Mobile will press the issue if this scenario continues.

Thanks in advance

I don't know T-Mobile's international roaming tariffs and policies. But if you're not careful you could end up with a huge phone bill, like hundreds, or even thousands I've heard of. As many carriers charge a real premium for receiving incoming SMS and MMS when roaming.

Suggest you find an alternative way of messaging, like using WhatsApp, Telegram, or Signal possibly, as those can be done on WiFi alone.

Help Is there a scanning app that can resize the pictures to a certain paper size?

V
I'm looking for an app to scan documents and convert them to PDF, I know, there's many apps that can do that but all the ones I have tried can't resize the picture taken to a given paper size (like letter or A4) without leaving white bars on the sides.

I have attached two pdf files on this thread, one document was scanned using an app called Genius Scan

As you can see on the first page there's white bars on the sides and on the second page there's white bars at the top and the bottom of the page.

The same document was scanned using Scanner Pro on iOS , and this is the desired result

There's no white bars and the content is resized to fill all the space on the page, which is letter size on both cases.

Is there any app that can do this on Android? I couldn't find any

"Appeal to the majority"

---especially whenever the majority are the consumerist Generation Z's who need a new phone every year and always assume newest is best. That's the kind of market it seems everyone's catering to. I've gotten the 'go back to your 8-tracks luddite' rhetoric often from those kiddies.

I remember quite well when quality would sell a product, today it's just whatever's new. Doesn't matter if it's a pile of crap, people will line up for it.

I've gotten tons of flack just because up until this September I was still using an HTC Thunderbolt. Now I'm on an AOSP-running flip phone, so the joke's on them. They wanted me to upgrade and I found an 'upgrade' that is more retro than an old smartphone. Plus, hey! I got USB Mass storage back! Sure makes it faster and easier to transfer more MP3s to it. I also don't have to bother with an impractically large screen anymore. I know the flip phone (ZTE Cymbal) is from 2017 and runs Android (very basic AOSP--truly vanilla here) but it feels like 2010's back. I sometimes have to look again on the outer part to know it's got a ZTE emblem instead of a Motorola 'M' because the design reminds me of an old V-series flip.

Help with Consumer Cellular Activation

nickdalzell
Also there's a whitelist (a stupid one too) for AT&T and their MVNOs that blacklists a ton of VoLTE handsets. There were myriad complaints on Reddit about even Pixel 3's that won't work because they're not whitelisted, as well as many OnePlus variants that were unlocked that also weren't whitelisted. If the particular phone you want to use isn't on their whitelist, it's not gonna work. VoLTE or not.

Question(s) About my Alcatel Flip 2

nickdalzell
KaiOS is just the new moniker for Firefox OS. It has NOTHING to do with Android aside from sharing a sort of Material-design aesthetic. More recent versions offer a few Google apps (Assistant, Maps, and YouTube) but I don't think it's possible to run Play Store or standard APKs.

I had a KaiOS flip (the Go Flip) for a couple of months before the experience made me pull my hair out. The OS is very unstable, full of ads, and randomly freaks out. I had to restart my Flip a few times a day because the keypad just stopped working (like the driver that it used crashed). It was slow, T9 was useless, and sometimes SMS messages got weird timestamps making newer messages show behind old messages and forget group texts if that's your thing. The phone was so cheap as to seem to be a crippled on purpose device meant to make folks run to a smartphone so the OEM could use that to say 'see? SEE? flip phones are sooo 2005!'.

Now, today, I use a much better flip phone, running a pretty bare bones Android 5.1.1 build (AOSP). It is a total breath of fresh air. No background data usage, no Google, and full on privacy, and even a week of battery life. This phone feels far more premium than any KaiOS device. It's another example of 'you get what you pay for'
