Android Emulator?

Is the free space on your disk enough?
Update SDK tools which have available updates.

In addition, have you configured hardware acceleration for your Android Emulator?

I don't have the hardware for emulator acceleration. And the ARM emulated images close upon launching. There are security blocks on the that computer and I think the admin might have been agressive in blocking emulation.

I managed to pair a different computer to a device via wifi. I will give that a try for a while.

Help Apps for LG125DL

When one of my older phones stopped making phone calls due to the VoLTE requirements here, a busy signal was all you got if you dialed, and shortly after that it tries for up to a minute to make a call, and gives up.

As for the last poster, I'm assuming they're spreading or attempting to spread the FUD about 'don't use this as a phone or you'll get hacked!'.

Can't delete old contacts

I tried your option but with only 10G of storage .. it's like nothing compared with what's on the phone
https://blog.terabox.com/what-is-terabox/ Been using it for over a bloody year, have to log in to get 1 gig per day for free, I have even backed up around 90 percent of my old p.c. files too when I want to, it is a powerful tool and you can back up virtually any time using mobile and using the p.c., I see no comparission of 10 Gig, talking about over

Help Any companies sell phones in EU you DON'T have to register 3 weeks ahead to use in the US?

Anyone know any manufacturers who don't have this spectacularly f-ed up policy that Samsung has had for a couple years, which is that all Samsungs purchased in Germany are deactivited for use outside the EU, and the only way to get them activated is to email Samsung your IMEI, receipt of purchase, and dates of travel, and then after three weeks they'll get back to you and let you know *if* they've decided (which isn't assured) to send you a code to unlock it for out-of-EU use - and only for the dates you requested?

This info all comes from a chat with Samsung Germany support and the email they sent me with instructions for the procedure. No idea if it applies elsewhere in EU.

Fb messenger

Right I did ask lol. They haven't changed their picture, like I said their profile picture is correct but sometimes it's blacked out on messenger for periods of time. If I delete the messages and start a new thread the picture returns to normal. It only happens with one contact
It is facebook hahaha :) Do not worry about that, besides the photo is only of their own, humans are interactive most of the time anyhow, besides you have nothing to worry about :)

My SD card have now a folder .android_secure

I'd take it back to where ever you bought it, then. I think that SD card is toast.
I know this Thread is from 2011 ,I do hope someone will read it . I've bought 2 "brand new " SD cards that came with .android_secure in it . And it says that it was created in 1969 , all that I could find online didn't sounded true .the SD cards says it's 32.39 giga . Obviously no sd card that it's 32 giga will have 32.39 giga of space , my worry is that this is a massive work with malware or some virus because I've tried to format on the android and after a long time that files still there. . You can't rename it nor delete it . I've did a zip as copy from it and it says 22 bites . I know that most virus has about 22bites right? So I've placed that SD n my windows phone 630 Lumia from 2014 and it said that it had old apps in it and needed to be deleted done that . And formatted the SD on the windows phone as well about 20 times over . All that after trying to move files from the phone to these which they were destroyed by the SD card . Now after a bunch of tries I've recorded a few times using the SD card and what I got was abou 1 minute of ok video after that recorded 400 mega of code that didn't worked after 2:40 secs . And after recording one with 900 mega the SD card could not save anything else. But it says that still have 29,13 giga left . Is these cards with malwares? Detail . This is the first time ever that I've bought the 2 SD cards with the package with no glue or anything to close where it comes normally closed . Why did already had this .amdroid_secure in it ? And why not even formatting on and on this didn't go away?

Help Where do you find out how long a phone will get updates for?

I actively seek out phones that NEVER get updates. I personally hate updates. A lot of them change things that should be left alone, or totally re-arrange functions in the app forcing me to relearn everything again, which annoys me, or flatten the UI which I outright despise. Using older phones guarantees I'll never have my flow interrupted by a prompt to 'please update this app to continue using it' or be bothered by a full-screen dialog saying 'a new software update is available for you phone'

I consider lack of updates a feature. However, there's tons of FUD out there that people will get hacked just by using old software. I can assure you that unless you're stupid, that will not happen. In fact, a lot of phones well out of support completely still support some modern apps including payment apps like Walmart or Kroger, and one example is the Galaxy S5. That's 8 years of support. Android support is actually better than Apple. Since Play Services can be updated without the need for an OS update, apps will be supported even on old versions of Android for the foreseeable future, while an iPhone that is a year out of date will have many apps up and stop working asking the user to 'update to iOS xx to continue using this app'.

So while OS support is lacking, app support is not. Also, continuing to consume by buying new phones when your old one works perfectly fine (despite not getting updates) is bad for the planet. e-waste is a horrendous problem that will not be solved by recycling alone. We have to all reduce, reuse, then recycle, in that order. Also, our wallets are bigger when we stop buying new things we don't need.
