Cool!

Thanks for letting us know.

You can buy coloured plastic plugs for usb port and headphone jacks very cheaply.

I guess many people never use the port at home or work, so that's worth remembering here.

Some ports can warp over time as well, depending on the material quality.

Definitely solved.

Nougat is a pretty dated version of Android so unless you're willing to flash it with a custom firmware like LineageOS you are using an outdated OS. Functionally you're apparently doing OK as is but it is adding more risk to your online interactions. Also apps you're using should be still getting updated (independent developers support their apps much longer than Google does for the Android OS) but it's still a matter where there's a decreasing number of apps that do so. Give some thought into upgrading to a new phone sooner rather than later.
(..... Android continues to evolve so there's been a lot of improvements and alterations since Nougat but don't be surprise at some of the increased number of limitations Google has implemented in various background service functions. Google touts them as 'security and privacy' enhancements for the user but they can also be interpreted as Google asserting its oversight and data mining.)

These devices are like consumables with freshness dates. It does seem like

These devices are like consumables with freshness dates. It's time to get a new device and learn to live with the changes, as you mentioned. Thanks!

Sadly I fear Nokia-syndrome will one day creep up on me, but that phone was over 10 years old and ran on NiMH batteries, which don't last nearly as long overall as a Li-ion.

My understanding is that carriers will only give the unlock code to the account holder, so if you buy a phone from someone else who tells you it is unlocked when it isn't you are out of luck. That was probably your situation when you called asking for a code - though of course they could have explained that without hostility (though I can imagine many ways in which that can be a crappy job).

But yeah, normally you need a code. I suggest you test it with a non-ATT SIM (to be sure don't use one from a virtual operator who use ATT's network either), and if it doesn't work get back to them and tell them you never received the text/email. Whatever you do, make sure it is unlocked while you are still a customer with them, because if you end a contract there is no guarantee they'll give you the code after that.

My phone just finished updating. It took about 1½ hours so be prepared. Now to see what it fixed and what new problems it caused.

I have the same problems. And in general, there are quite a few bugs in Instagram that really annoy me a lot, but which no one bothers to fix.

I'm learning AI techniques by building a bot to play a video game. I'm documenting my process as I go.

Any advice on topics I should research?

Thanks!

Develop an app that actually works!!!
Lmao!!!

I couldn't find what this icon is, can any one help please? It's something like racoon, panda or cat!

The setting "show charging information" under "Display" seems to control this. Unchecking it, so far, does not seem to disable the top of the screen charge level icon.

I don't play games on my phone. My thought is you might share a screen shot here for our members.

Thanks all, I'll give it a try.

Have you tried it with Safe Reply off, I'm sure you have.
I have an older E6 elsewhere but also have you tried the Moto or *Device Help app (if there) for the setting.

Also, though the same model, some settings or the Moto or *Help (iirc) app may have updated in the newer one. You can compare the version in Settings - Apps.

Not much help, but hopefully someone with a Moto will respond.

*I see the actual app is called Device Help on my E6 (no Peek Display)

This reminds me of when my Galaxy S4 would say the SIM was replaced and phone had to restart at random but I never touched it. It'd just pop up and restart after tapping OK and it'd work for a number of hours or days, sometimes minutes before it happened again. Ended up being a faulty SIM tray.

You are very correct - I tapped "Volume" and all the various sliders appear. It should be easy, then, to set up a Bixby routine to adjust the sliders automatically, depending on day/time and location.

It's a modded release, so no, you will not find it in the play store.
Piracy is frowned upon here so good luck with your search

I change my domain registration. I like to use https://beehosting.pro/domain-registration/
When you buy a domain, it comes with limited time validity, after which you need to renew it. Of course, you’re not going to ditch the website domain once the initial registration period is over. Hence, you must consider the domain renewal charges while choosing a domain registrar.

I am using the dd-MMM-yyyy format in String format in java android .
It returns "01-Sept-2022" as a result.
I want "01-Sep-2022" as result.
This issue shows up in android 12. How can I get my desired return value in all versions?

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.

Interesting question, by the way. Looking at my son, I can say that playing games improves fine motor skills and concentration, but it can't be counted as exercise.

Still think about the long term, is he going to be active, like shooting hoops, playing soccer, bowling et all, video games help that plentful.

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.
