I don't receive e-sim messages on my samsung, what could be the problem??

I moved this post to it's own thread.
https://androidforums.com/threads/esim-question.1342316/

Hello all again, many thanks to all helping me with this problem. I looked at trying to move all my messages from husband's phone through smart switch, but worried I might do something to his phone, and the process was not clear, nor easy to my mind. So I still haven't worked out why I can see 2500 messages listed in Cloud backup, but can't access them. What is everyone's opinion re making this issue public - ie via facebook or something? I cannot understand why they say they will get help back to you but nothing happens and you end up on the live chat, or phone yet again with no result. Still need to look perhaps also at Messenger+ for saving messages better for the future.

I have a Cat S31, and I was thinking about upgrading. I looked that the Samsung Xcover Pro and it is 6.3" tall. I decided against it. My next choice was the Cat S41, but it's a four-year-old phone.

All the other tough phones are too big, so I will keep my S31.

Is anyone else annoyed by the growing sizes of newer phones?

I know this is an old thread, but you might consider just a smaller phone with an overly rugged case.

Uninstall Ccleaner. It's owned by Cheetah Mobile, known for quite shady practices. Also known for useless 'battery savers' on Android.

Doesn't work. Pinching just shows the wallpaper. Settings has no options to help despite the snide asshattery from another poster.

At some point if you're putting so much time and effort fighting with your phone to free up more storage space, for your own peace of mind it's time to buy a new replacement phone with more storage to begin with. This is not meant to be dismissive at all, but instead of getting frustrated every time you pick up your phone and something happens where you need to open up a few MBs of storage space here and there, invest in yourself and make your quality of life better by getting a phone that just works as is.

Arabic and French. I have a friend who does that.

The world isn't perfect?
Trump and Boris never mentioned that!

They use 'Xmas' in many places today to compensate for promoting Christianity. They won't even allow decorations in schools or government buildings anymore.

Also, isn't it odd how we still celebrate our independence when we're so reliant on outsourcing? Can you get anything Made in USA anymore? How about we learn from history and revolt again? Time for some more Independence!

Full disclosure. I'm a Jewish believer in Jesus Christ. I'm an Evangelical Non-Denominational ordained minster of the Gospel.

That said, the term "Xmas" wasn't started by the secularists. It was originated by devout Christians. The X doesn't stand for blotting out the name of Christ. What the X stands for is the Cross that He was crucified upon! It's true! You can look it up!

Thanks for sharing your app. Here is a link to a method to create a channel for your game here at AF. Please note that the second method mentioned is not working at present.

Pressing the menu does not work in Duck Duck browser. What I get is a thin blue line racing across the almost top of the screen. But leaving my need aside - how does anyone follow any URL displayed on any page?

Sim tray fault or reinserted incorrectly

About Phone - Status shows your number?

Several diagnostic / hardware / device test / device info apps available. (can recommend)

Tried another persons sim in that phone?
Is it network locked?



My thoughts so far..... this year!

Probably what Hadron said ^

Moved as you requested. Enjoy...

I noticed that the Prerooted Lollipop ROM is a from a different region. So I downloaded the Nougat version for the same model and upgraded the system and I rooted and all worked out well.

Isn't it possible to transfer data from Android to iOS when you set it up? I think there is such a function there, or am I wrong?

Click to expand...

There is an option to transfer some applications and limited user data between devices, but that depends upon the application in question already being available (and free) in the App Store / Play Store.

It sounds to me like @dostoyevski was looking for a way to port an application from Android to iOS (where it doesn't already exist).

There are cross-platform development kits which can be used to produce (basic) apps which will run on both iOS and Android (spitting out a separate build for each but based on the same common code) but I'm not aware of anything which can easily convert an existing app (not written using one of those cross-platform frameworks).

Does it behave correctly with the phone booted into Safe Mode?

Just use another browser.
First of all, Chrome is garbage at best- and nefarious spyware at its worst.

Use any browser that uses Android System Webview as the webview, and be sure to check the webview setting in developers options- Google has a nasty habit of making Chrome the webview!
(In my mind that means that Google is using Chrome to monitor everything you do online.)

Sometimes Chrome must be disabled in order for you to be able to change the webview app, and this also leads me to not trust Chrome or Google even more.

Lightning is an excellent browser, much faster and able to be more secure.

You can access Translate from the Google homepage, there is no need for any extra app at all.

‍♂️ I got used to it. Password manager is a big go for me there.

My first Android was a garbage-tier Coby Kyros tablet that ran 2.1. Then an LG Optimus V that ran 2.2. I learned to root/ROM at least.

I do wish I had the funds then to enjoy real good phones like the Xperia Play, Kyocera Echo, O.G. Droids, and so on. Didn't get my first flagship until the Galaxy SIII was already a year old. At least I can enjoy the Thunderbolt and SII today however.

That's what I expected. I think it's time to upgrade. Thank you.

I gave it permission to use storage. Now it claims it's downloading, but if a file says 0 bytes, isn't it useless? I just moved some more to sd in order to make room. Can I PLEASE save directly to sd?

Click to expand...

You do not want to save directly to SD cards.
If the file is corrupt, then you have wasted two read/write cycles of that card.
(One to save it, and another to delete it.)

This is why you should save to internal, look over the file(s), make sure they are complete and wanted, and then copy them to the SD.

Then, to be really safe, double check the file(s) that you just copied to the card for errors and whatnot.

Only after this verification should the file(s) in internal memory be deleted.

I am most guilty of just moving files instead of copying them.

I will admit that the success rate is very high, but there is always that one file that will get away- corrupted during the move and now lost forever.
