Yeah check the boxes, and remove them, I know that my google account did that at one point, even after a deactivated cell, my moto z,I only used it early this year to reactivated my personal FB...

Sounds like your stock launcher is wonky.
You can always install a different launcher from the play store, such as Nova launcher, which is highly customizable, from icon size, to icon packs, etc..
I've used Nova for years and never a problem

iTunes was actually discontinued about three years ago now, with Apple Music, Podcasts, and App Store as separate apps.

For a Samsung Fold 4 device, there is Smart Switch, which I use for data transfers, syncing, and backups.

This code works

Having the TD Bank app set up to not use biometrics to log in does add to the mystery. And the actual source of this instability is still in question. Since this problem may or may not be tied directly to the lock screen, another thing to try is completely reset your lock screen options. Delete your lock screen settings or set them to their defaults, restart your phone, and then restore your lock screen options accordingly. Perhaps that update from a couple of months ago created some kind of corruption in a lock screen config file that only gets used in specific situations (i.e. some background process used by the TD Bank app), and that triggers this weird instability issue. But this is all just random guesses for the most part.
This is a definite, last resort suggestion but given the fingerprint reader sensor has apparently been messed up since you've had this phone, you might want to consider do a Factory Reset. But be sure you have safely backed up all your personal data and you have a record of your user name/passwords for the apps you use to access your different online services. A Factory Reset wipes your entire user account, and doing a complete, full restore can be a really arduous project. (Double check your backup data too, a lot of people make bad assumptions and lose precious files -- i.e. do not rely upon the Google backup and restore option in your Settings menu as a comprehensive backup utility, it only apples to Google apps and services data.)

I will have a go myself tonight but my app will play small video files but I can't get it to play a 30min 2.1gb video file(mp3, 1080p)

Also found some image/video types don't seem to play, guess there away around it.

I will try this tutorial tonight as a starting point and see how I get on.

You can use directly the application of Android system to record video. My attention is not focused to develop application but to discover what kind of process are involved and in particular trying to discover why there isn't /dev/video* file and why video4linux is not installed in Pixel 3a. In addition knowing, video4linux is not installed how is possible that the Pixel 3a is able to record video? I think an other driver is used... What is the driver installed? And in case, what is device file used?

Hi,

In android google chrome after pressing a new tab I see this (Screenshot https://i.imgur.com/k4m0lyT.png )

How to disable the row of round buttons of recent pages?
How to remove the discover text and settings button?

What is the difference between the Google button (an app with letter G) and Chrome?

Thanks

I didn't listen - BUUUUMPPPPP.

Cool Dude

does your phone not see them? this 404 error, where does it occur? in an app? do the hearing aids have an associated app?

It just took ages when it begun synching - I changed the password a few times, and boom, it was another profit on another doorway. To put it in layman's terms, I change the password, and watched it synch, took a spell or two, at the worst possible times of today, at the beach when set off this morning, so my hearing was just brutal again, when someone said it was speaking softly with me when climbing up a hill. Funny how people speak softly too, but when I got back my Mother was speaking, so I wonder if I forgot to change the wax guards, too bad they are around 1,500 miles away.

just make nandroid backups more often......lol

let us know if a reset worked or not. like i said you might need to flash a firmware update. not sure how that is done for your phone.

I got LineageOS flashed correctly, then realized I had no GApps. Tried again, using OpenGApps instead of MindTheGapps, and it worked like a charm. The Lineage OS recovery is still the standard, I'll get to work on making TWRP the standard one when I've got the time, so I can make frequent backups like you recommended. Thanks once again for your quick assistance

I can walk you though this if your still interested?

I wouldn't bother with Nook, but you could have a look at Kobo readers. they also have a reader app in the Play Store

What is 'wifi 6?' Maybe it's best I never know. The only 6 I'm familar with is 'IPv6' which caused me no end of issues with my wifi until I disabled it. I know many online protest people disabling IPv6 citing some doomsday scenario of 'running out of IP addresses' or some BS like that. But I do not care. I need working internet not wonky internet. Might be some of your issue though. How long have you had this router?

At work we still have AT&T U-Verse (don't tell AT&T, they think it's supposed to be dead or EOL!) and many valid websites redirect to dnserror search assist which is a router page that comes up when the local DNS server can't find the site in the database (getting worse each year).

I'd try setting up WiFi calling on another wifi network just to rule that out.

1: You can't. That's how it is. If you don't like it, install and use a third-party photo-viewer/gallery app.

2: No idea.

Thanks y'all for the help. I got into my phone. I did exactly what you said Milo. And thanks Ocnbrze! You both supported and helped me. The instructions worked. Thanks a bunch. If I have any other questions, I'll be writing here again. I was able to find and keep my emails and pics and texts and all. I found more answers here with you both than with any other company or my service. Thanks again y'all!! Later.

Ok so after checking further looks like its something totally different. Apparently, my phone is controlling a Kodi box in my house! I hit pause, it pauses there. I hit play, it plays there. I never have seen their Kodi box. Any idea how it would just connect like that and how do I dislodge it? Each time they turn on the box, the casting thing starts on my phone.

Click to expand...

The only way is to change the Google account on the kodi box is on.......I think.

After a speculation, it was an app sitting still and muching on the RAM. I think it was Uber, since I do not use it as much, on vacation et all

I am just learning the android environment. I am trying to code a mobile app that converts speech to text. Every example I find uses the deprecated "onActivityResult" function. I cannot find even one example that uses the new "registerForActivityResult" function. Please help.

Thank you,

Arthur

Install a gallery app or use the one that comes with the phone. I have a Galazy S20 and I can view phone only photos using the Samsung Gallery app.

Hi Hadron,

thank you for your awesome answer... it can be so simple!
Neither Samsung nor Google calendar have the option of deleting this "My Calendar", but your suggestions (I tried aCalendar) did.

Thank you again!

Thanks for the information. I got the F-Droid app and successfully onto my phone.

For those of us in the U.K. who purchase either the new Fold4 or Flip4 between the 10th August and the 29th September, 2022, you can claim a pair of the new Buds2 Pro, free from Samsung, on top of the other freebies on offer.

That will save you £219, although the claiming process is a bit of a rigmarole involving receipt and IMEI uploads, it can be done and the Buds2 Pro are dispatched within 45 days.

Here is the link and full instructions on how to claim...
