Opening pre-made Word / Excel templates within an App and Exporting them

S
There are many functions in Excel. I would recommend that you check your settings to make sure that all Excel functions are working as expected. Try removing the image from the template and reloading them. I like to take Okslides templates that are ready to go, which saves time. Keep in mind that Excel templates won't open on Windows 8.1 devices with the Windows 8.1 Mobile app if you use those. If you get messages like "We tried to restore your document as much as possible, but it's not available for editing". Try opening and restoring the document on your PC to fix the problem.

Help com.google.android.apps.messaging notifications not showing in lock screen

How to get those notifications

Yes

Realme

I would like it on vanilla Android

I don't want it "always on" the lock screen, only when the notification happens
Click to expand...
no "always on" is a samsung lockscreen feature. it displays the time and notifications but at a much lower brightness so as to not really take much battery doing so.

again you will have to search a lockscreen app from the play store that fit you needs.

and what do you mean by "vanilla" android? realme phones do not come with "vasnilla" android os. they cook their own stuff into the os. the only pure android will be the pixel phones from google.

Password protect a file (not hide)

Try Zarchiver, which can encrypt files and folders with a password.

Thank you, this looks much better, much closer to what I need. I will test it, even it seems to have some extra steps: to open a file I have to extract it first and after using it, I need to reincript it, or delete it if I used a temporary file to extract.

The Stupid Question Thread

Well mine was more recent, about almost every time I go shopping for food like your story,
I always ask for "Cheese and macoroni" instead the employee looks at me and saids "What cheese do you want?"

I say "Everything I want three layers."

So I pay up and they give me three slices of cheese.. and a noodle.

Frp

Hadron
I don't really understand how dev options would be relevant: if FRP has been triggered then the phone has been reset, and hence by definition dev options have been turned off (because that's the default state, and hence the state that a reset will return it to).

And I'm afraid that the reason nobody would post a solution here if they had one in the first place (and to be clear, I don't) is that it would tell any phone thief who could use a search engine how to do it, which would be highly irresponsible.

Your best bet is to contact an official service centre, with proof of purchase, and see whether they can do anything. It won't be free, but you may have to view it as a learning experience (the lesson being "make sure I know my account passwords before doing a reset"). Sorry, but that's all I can suggest.

Paired device on android Tv paired but not connected

Try and delete the pairing. Un-pair the devices, and pair them again. As that may fix the connection problem.

Tried that, also tried stopping Bluetooth device driver , clearing chache, re-starting ! still no , luck - I know the Blaupunkt is very particular in which order the pairing / connecting is done - on Samsung I know it happens automatically !!

- Error while starting device discovery (BluetoothPairTv app)

- need to know how to get into Bluetooth device setting( on Samsung phone)

Help Samsung Galaxy A7(2018) stuck at Android Recovery after booting!!

svim said:
There's only so much you can do to fix a phone that's stuck in a boot loop into its Recovery. You've successfully tried the typical solutions and the problem remains so you can continue trying to fix this yourself on the remote chance something will eventually work out, or you can accept the problem requires a trained technician. Look for a local Samsung retailer and find out if they also have a repair/servicing department.

User Interface

I have a Samsung Galaxy S7, 8.0.0 Oreo.

The Google Play Store shows an "update" entitled, Samsung One UI Home." My current UI is called, "Samsung Experience Home." I understand that the update is the same UI with a different name. I've read the reviews that pertain to Galaxy S7, 8.0.0 Oreo for the new update, and they are all really bad, reporting several problems.

QUESTIONS
1. Is the update worth downloading?
2. If not, is there a way to remove it from "updates" on the Google Play Store, so that I can just hit the "update all" link, rather than having to go through and select each individual update on other apps, in order to avoid updating Samsung's new UI update?

I've attached is a few screen shots for clarification and understanding.

Thanks,
— Matt

It's an update to change the name of the app for One UI but everything else will remain the same

Charging issues

Unforgiven
thaKing said:
One last update....contacted Samsung and they told me to take it to an authorized repair center. So I took it to an authorized repair center and they were able to replicate the issue and said they could not repair it. They told me to contact Samsung and go through the warranty process. So I did. And disappointed is putting it mildly. They said I have to mail in the phone to THEIR repair center, that they cannot take the word of the authorized center they sent me to. I'm told it's 5-7 business days before they can make a decision. So, after mailing, that's 2 weeks. Then they'll send me a new one since this cannot be fixed. They do not offer any sort of loaner phone, so I'd be without a phone for 2+ weeks. I use it for work so I cannot be without it for that long.

Very disappointed in their solution, especially for such an expensive phone.
