Can't back up chats

G
Hadron said:
Is it backing up to a removable sd card then? I stress "removable" because /sdcard isn't actually an sd card, it's part of the internal storage. If it is backing up to a removable card can you try backing up to internal storage (if you have space)?

Of course one of the commonest reasons people lose the ability to install apps is lack of space in the internal storage, so given your other problems that may not be an option. The phone needs some internal free storage as working space, so will block installs before it runs out. The limit varies, but if you have just a GB or so left that's very likely the problem.

Yes, the SD card is fomatted as internal so it can't be removed and checked. There is about 1.5G free but I can't free up any more because for some reason, it doesn't seem to delete stuff, even junk files, photos etc, it just says it is deleting them but doesn't. I deleted all the apps on the SD card and file manager says they are gone but it still reports the same amount of memory is used as before the apps were deleted. It looks like the whole thing is corrupted so I guess the answer is to export the chats as text files and media and do a factory reset.

Changing ANP settings Armor X6

Hi svim thank you for your reply

I am in the UK and my carrier is Lebara. Their tech support isn't that great and they weren't able to assist with this. We still have 3G and 4G data networks available here - 5G is just starting to roll out but as I am in a a fairly rural location so 3/4G is all that's available in my location.

I will go back to their tech support - maybe I just got unlucky with the person I was talking to :)

Yes, try contacting Lebara tech support again. Some of the time you might be dealing with a knowledgeable, helpful staffer, other times maybe not. It's a real gamble.

But offhand, your Armor X6 is appears to be primarily a 2G/3G model:
https://www.gsmarena.com/ulefone_armor_x6-10024.php
and Lebara is a MVNO contracted with Vodafone in the U.K.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lebara
and there isn't a match for the bands/frequencies that Vodafone uses for its 4G cellular network

So you might want to lower your expectations you'll be able to get anything more than 3G on your X6 if this is all actually correct.

Sygic android auto navigation niggles!

Derek John Castle
Installed on my Android 8 car media device is Sygic auto nav version 17.4.12.Would some knowledgeable member advise me as to how I remove all history from travel book?
I did hold for a few seconds each entry and they turned red, plus a red section with dustbin appeared at top of page, I clicked on dustbin and all entries disappeared, only to return the next time I opened travel book. So how do I delete them permanently?
Equally whilst playing around with quick menu, I inadvertently turned off sounds, large icon now appears with X through it, I have toggled everything in sight (within reason) How do I turn Sounds ON in quick menu?
One final niggle, on my car device I have a dedicated Nav button, but since installing Sygic I can only open Sat Nav from icon on touch screen, and NOT from Nav button....anything I can do to overcome this?
many thanks Derek

Can A Hacker Control My Phone Remotely?

R
Well, of course, a hacker can control your phone remotely. Most times, hackers look to get your personal information from your phone, but sometimes they take control of your phone. This happened to me once, and I had no idea what to do. I turned my phone off in time, and they didn't manage to take anything from me. I didn't know how to defend myself from this, and the only good idea was to hire a hacker of my own. I looked for the best cheapest hacking services, and I managed to find a hacker who deleted the virus from my phone. It was scary, but I try to be more careful with security now.

Problem Pairing Android Studio to Device by WiFi

xarzu
I managed to pair an Andriod Device to Android Studio via WIFI using a QR code. But then I got a "Default Activity Now Found" error when I tried to run my program to the device, I went through the steps to fix that error. And that led me to not only cleaning and rebuilding the project but when I restarted Visual Studio, I thought I would remove and re-add the listing in Device Manager.

And this is where the problem is. Since I removed the device listing in Device Manger, I have not been able to get it back. I have been trying both the QR code as well as the pairing code. The Android cell lists the computer. But each method I have tried to get Android Studio to recognize the cell, it fails. It says it may take up to 2 minutes to complete but it will say that there is an error pairing the device. It does not matter if I I the computer name from the list of paired devices on the android or not.

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

nickdalzell
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!'.

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

K
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

Danielle Conner said:
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 :)
