Bit late on this one, only just joined the forum.

Hi BrianRM, I have just bought a Motorola G31, the contacts were imported from my sim which in turn were exported from my old Samsung to the sim.
Still with me? Only had the Motorola Android 11 a few days and used my google account to store the contacts, but kept losing some of my contacts especially on one occasion where I added 5 new contacts that were missing and it proceeded to wipe out the ones already there.

So I decided to switch off all syncs to google and enter all my contacts again, this time choosing 'Device', great , not lost a contact since.
However there are a few problems, the contacts are only accesible from within the phone app, the one on the home screen is Googles app.

There is no option to save contacts to the sim card only the device and no export/import to device

Anything like that is only applicable if you are using a google account, I'm beginning to hate Google as much as I hate Apple for trying to tie you in to there empire, "Use us or get reduced functionality". I have contacted motorola who unfortunately have said, Sorry but you need to talk to google,
even though I'm sure they could have made a phone contact able to save to sim and import/export.

I'm not sure if this started after the update, but every time I use WIFI and Bluetooth, my WIFI connection dies less than a minute after using it. For example, I'll connect my Bluetooth headphones and then start up a streaming music service. In less than a minute, the music stops and my wifi connection is dead (even though it says it is still connected). Can't browse the web, do speed test, etc. Have to disconnect WIFI and reconnect. But it will do it again as soon as I start using the connection

I also found the same problem. Looking for good answers.

Your screenshot is too blurry to see.
Try updating the emulator, or just create a new one.

It seems to be a development environment issue.

Your app can access thus csv file using the platform's Storage Access Framework.

If Do Not Disturb is enabled, is it all functions of the app is still working like normal, only notifications is muted (notifications do come in silently in notifications panel)?

Click to expand...

correct DND is only for notifications and its sound.....everything else will run as intended depending on the app.

We ARE in a recession already.

This is what would be being reported, if they had not recently changed the very definition of what a recession is.

This is all part of a plan.

If it becomes obvious by definition that your administration or organination is afraid that the plebians will call them out on the results of their actions, it is a simple matter of just changing the definition of key words to hide the fact that there policies are the cause of bad things.

The education system has done a wonerful job in proucing generations of people that willl hardly even bother to look up any definitions anyway.

But it only takes a small percentage of the population to revolt for problems to arise.
So definitions must be changed so that future generations will not know what is really going on.

To me, it does look like some sort of security thing.

In my opinion, it also seems to look like some app that has been downloaded and that has the permission to overlay itself onto other apps.

This is where I would start my search for the culprit, by searching through what apps have this sort of permission.

Then there may be a setting tto turn the notification or the overlay off.
If not, then you may make the decision to ditch the app altogether.
If you like said app, then you may want to contact the developer of the app and see what kind of respomse you get.

You can try a gallery app that does not rely on thumbnails.
Thumbnails are those tiny versions of your pics and vids on a gallery menu that let you make your selections.

Most gallery apps make this little versions, and with thousands of them the amount of space (and time) they take can really add up.

Simple Gallery Pro does not seem to store thousands of thumbnails, no does it take a long time to present you with content.
It works well in tandem with Simple File Manager from the same developer.

A Go edition device will have its own set of apps, usually called the same but with the addition of the word Go.

Most likely your device already has Google Go installed from the factory. Just as likely is the posibilility that the Play Store wont let you have both installed at the same time, or that the normal version of it just will not fit or is not compatible with the device.

The OS on a Go device works fine, but is not designed to run large, resource hungry apps.

I have to ride the AT&T bandwagon on this one.
I actually take a crappy little flipphone when we travel, because it is on AT&T and neither of our main phone accounts are.

We both use different carriers, so normally at least one of us can get a signal.
But in reality, the crappy little flipphone has saved us when neither of our "bargan" carriers would function at all.

Regardless, I can tell you who to stay away from- T-Mobile and any company that relies upon T-Mobile towers.
Although some folks say they have good service with them, generally you must be close enough to one of their towers to touch it to get a signal.

My coverage with them is spotty, ununiform, and basically amounts to more time spent searching for a signal than it used to take to find and use a payphone.

God, Samsung always has to be so difficult.
My mother has always used them, and I absolutely hate trying to do anything with them.

I have had multiple different manufacturers over the years, and all of them have had the option for multiple users.

Once again, the simple fix is shot down by Samsung!

I am with you guys on that. Its just that Outlook has this "scream" function that makes a loud siren noise even with the ringer off which was perfect for helping my perpetually phone-losing relative find their phone wherever they left it last.
But, I cancelled my subscription last night anyway due to all the trouble.

Click to expand...

you mean Lookout....i think....LOL

find my device by google has a ring function as well, but it is not a scream.....LOL should be loud enough and will also work even if it is on silent or airplane mode.

you can't. you can install google contacts that does not have it. but i prefer Samsungs contacts over google....but that is just me.

I'm pretty sure you can't. The dev either built the game so it could use a controller, or it doesn't.

For Dragon Quest, the devs are Square Enix, who maybe able to add controller support to their game with an update possibly? Might be worth you emailing them about it.

Click to expand...

It'd been several years, and many people have emailed them. They have no real interest in control support, it seems. I honestly figured that'd be the answer, but I was hoping there was an app to map touch to controller. Where it could emulate a directional swipe to joystick direction. Basically, hoping even though I didn't think so. Haha.

Does anyone know any good music streaming app that also works as a music player?

Click to expand...

The various music streaming apps tend to be proprietary to their own services, e.g. Spotify, Apple Music, etc. Some may work as an off-line player, and some don't.

Could someone help me out with my Wechat verify please.

I'm just seeing a your IP address is banned message from that website.

That seems like a weird site to block.

Thank you!

Also you can search the Play Store under Device Info or Phone Spec, or use CPU-Z.

I no longer have a Samsung but it's probably in the settings somewhere.

has anyone figured out a way to revert back to the old one? this new one is so buggy and broken.

SOLUTION: File > Settings > Experimental > under Logcat uncheck "Enable new Logcat tool window"

Probably not possible.

This issue still persists to this day somehow. Does anyone have a solution to this?

I see no reason for this thread to continue.
