Help Add New Apps to Home Screen?

Your Note 3 is running Android 4.x (KitKat) or 5.x (Lollipop) isn't it? Your Z Fold 4 is running version 12, yes? Don't expect your Note 3 to have the same feature set as your Fold -- there's a more than significant difference between those two models as far as hardware configurations, the operating systems, and the user interface options.
Try what @Dannydet suggested, install and configure the Nova Launcher app on your Note. Or just keep using Samsung's TouchWiz launcher, and remove the apps you don't want on the Home screen when you finish setting up your Note for your trip. Is it that much of an inconvenience? How often are you going to be installing new apps once you're done setting things up?

Hi
It isn't really much of an inconvenience at all. I just wanted to set it the way I described if the option to do so was there. It would be a convenience feature that would be nice and that would allow my phones to operate similarly. In short, I thought I should at least look to see if the option was there, then use it if it was. If not, no big deal. I'll remove the added apps as I install them. Come to think of it, I vaguely remember when moving from the Note 3 to Note 8, the Note 8 behaved differently here and I thought it was odd at the time. It was set to not put apps on the home screen. I looked on the home screen settings again; nothing there. I also looked in the general settings again. I found nothing, so, as mentioned, that option must have come about later.

How can I update UK SYGIC maps

Right, I will attempt to answer your many questions and hopefully put my plight into context, equally my eyes are not so young either, in fact last time I looked, I think the date stamp is 1940!!!As for my car which is also my baby and my old age toy, is a very resplendent 2002 Wedge wood blue Rover 75 connoisseur V6, with the well-loved 2.5 Lt petrol engine. Documented mileage of just 45670.Full service history.
Since owning it I have kept it up to date, and as it is in fact a BMW build, I fitted the plugnplay BMW E46 full media unit, which has two dedicated mini-sd slots one for media and the other for GPS (Sat Nav).
As for finding developers, suppliers, etc of mini sd sat nav cards, the web is full of them.Audiotechdirect.com, Senitech Satellite -Face Book, GPS Android sat nav. Satnavishop, and the most obvious one Ebay!
Most based on Sygic and Tom Tom systems. Incidentally all of these suppliers only deal with Android, which is why 2021/22updates are difficult.(Plus Although they supply sat nav systems via sd cards they do not issue updates!!) Cost of cards between £21 and £39.
My vehicle add on Android media unit BMW E46, came with IGO sat nav on a mini sd card,but I couldn't get on with it, so I obtained the free Sygic system (purchased the further options I required) and its worked well, but its now out of date
Now both Sygic and IGO put out free updates,
IGO is simple,you download the android update, insert your mini sd card into PC remove the out-of-date material from the card, and replace it with updated material. But with Sygic its different, they only download free updates to PC for phones, not ANDROID automotive devices. I have been on to Sygic who were really helpful, but do not issue updates for Android sd cards!
Equally link given by:
mikedt (from China bless him) would only update devices not sd cards. Also your link ,only explained how to transfer Sygic from internal storage to sd card,but no updates.
So it might be, I return to IGO, as it appears sd card updates for Sygic are not available.

4g status goes away with wifi enabled.

Your phone uses one of two ways for online access, either WiFi or cellular. They are both wireless signals but are two completely different types of wireless connectivity.
-- WiFi signals are relatively weak with an effective range of a few hundred feet or so. Your home router emits the WiFi signal for your home network. Your router is connected to your ISP's modem and the modem is what is indirectly connected to the Internet. WiFi is often identified as 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz, both being direct references to the bandwidth frequency each on occupies (i.e. channel 11 in 2.4GHz is 2462 megahertz, channel 1 is 2412 megahertz)
-- Cellular signals are pretty robust and have a coverage range of a few miles. They are emitted by cellular towers/cellular access points scattered everywhere. All of those are fed their signals by nation-wide cellular networks, and those are indirectly connected to the Internet. Cellular can be differentiated by progression levels -- 2G, 3G, 4G/LTE, 5G -- a marketing abbreviation for 2nd Generation, 3rd Generation, etc.

Some people mistakenly merge both together since both are wireless and oddly because there's a common letter G in those identifiers but in reality they are two very different types of wireless connectivity. If you do prefer to consider both the same, that makes your problems with online connectivity a lot harder to fix.
In your instance, there's not really a problem. It's a just a typical way smartphones work -- when your phone is receiving both a good WiFi and a good cellular signal, the preference is to prioritize WiFi over cellular. Just disable WiFi or disable mobile data in accordance to what your need. (disabling mobile data doesn't cut off cellular connectivity, it just stops any active data exchanging over cellular. A very low bandwidth cellular connection still remains so you still can receive and send phone calls, and SMS texts.)

Apps MySQL connect and query

Hello dear helpers,

pls help me :)

Busybox....HELP PLEASE! What/why/how is it installed on my device without my knowledge or permission

I can certainly attest to the annoyances and concerns of modern hardware given I was recently forced to upgrade from my beloved Thunderbolt to a modern phone, but there's no recourse anyway. You can't find a 'simple' flip phone since they're nowadays just smartphones with KaiOS and have embedded all the privacy-hating Google apps like a modern Android smartphone. No carrier today will reactivate a RAZR, Droid, or BlackBerry Curve today. I know the older networks still exist in my state, but carriers refuse to cooperate even if you offered them a lot of money. Believe me, I tried. Unlike the AMPS shutdown this isn't mandated by the FCC just carrier arrogance and futurists who refuse to live in a world where someone still prefers to use a decade-old smartphone.

TL;DR "Going back to basics" is not as possible today. Modern phones flip/basic/dumb/smart all have the same data-gathering going on.

tcl 20xe questions

i have the home screen set up with the app drawer but i still do not see the normal apps icon the one that has the 9 dots in it. but i put that nova on it and that seems to be doing the job. she may have swiped that icon off the system as one said. when she answers the phone she touches the phone icon and swipes it so hard and fast that she about sends the phone across the room. it seems she sees others do that and copies them. i set up the phone icon in the app drawer so all she has to do is tap it and it answers the phone or to send a message tap that message icon. just linkt the other apps. thanks

Help Android lagging

This is the app in question: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.omdevelopment.ref.biblebg.free
I currently have Avast Antivirus Free and Malwarebytes installed, should I uninstall them?
Thank you for the link for the uncensored Telegram, by the way

Most likely the app sends your personal data somewhere.
In fact, most religious type apps report your activities.

The solution is to block internet access for these apps, however, any app that also uses Google Services will also convey information with Google- who then sells it to whomever.

And yes, I would ditch the security apps.
Aside from giving a false sense of security, they do nothing better than that- and sometimes worse.
They consume battery and memory, report your information to whomever, and are unneeded anyway.

Google one backup - override idle time?

I clicked the question mark and there was a feedback link, so I told them to add an option for backing up even when not idle. My whole phone is only 30GB, so the free one would suit me fine! I don't really need the photos backed up anyway, since I take photos on a day out, then come home and put them on the computer for sorting and editing.
i would go here and submit your issue and see if they can help you:

E46 media unit satnav/Problem NOW SOLVED

Thanks Denny, will have a go at that now, as it's an app I have not heard of.
Hi In the end it just boiled down to going into audio settings, change "switch" ,to "manual" and then adjust audios to work in conjunction with sat nav,for example audio level on sat nav was raised to 7,but changed to 0 on phone and 4 on music.This allows phone calls to be taken without interruption, plus music is just audible when sat nav audio is activated.
