Google telling me what to do again (call recording)

S
Well Total Call Recorder doesn't work either. Stupid Google. I'm in the UK and there is no law against me recording calls, why are they doing this?

"As an individual you are able to record phone calls. There are currently no UK laws prohibiting actually recording the call – just what you do with the information when you have captured it. The only time call recording becomes illegal is if you hand over the information to a third party without the customer who has been recorded’s consent. You also need to be mindful of how secure the connection is if there is going to be sensitive information discussed."

Some providers have different APNs for MMS and for other mobile data, though I know nothing about this particular carrier.

So are u saying that the phone might need 2 different APNs, 1 for internet and 1 for MMS? If so, I haven't found any other information about Page Plus using that type of setup. I also haven't found any APNs that work w/ MMS.

This (doesn't) suck(s)

That's what happened with my pedestal sink. My helper answered the door, and the FedEx driver actually pointed out to her that it sounded like broken glass(?) in the box; he showed her a damaged area and recommended just refusing it as damaged. That's what we did, then received a nice new replacement.


That's what I'd like to know! I've been a loyal Chewy customer for years now, with monthly auto-ships, but I had no idea they sold vacuum cleaners! :thinking:

It's curtains

I had to put some drapes up on plasterboard/drywall once. I fixed a wooden batten securely screwed into the studding, and then fixed the curtain rail to the batten.

When I was an line-engineer for British Telecom, we often had to fix telephone sockets to plasterboard, which are lightweight things. But we used proper plasterboard fixing plugs and screws...

I have used those things, and even the winged things you fold together, push through, (the wings expand then) and tighten the screw.

They will work, but they are temporary at best.
And very weak, as the drywall must first be damaged to use any of them.

They then expand and/or clamp into/behind the drywall that has been weakend with a hole.

Going into the studs is the only proper and reliable way.

Android 11 tool bar of contacts in Contacts app hides behind freeform window decorations

I also have the same situation! Did you find the answer?
Click to expand...
Yes, after digging into the AOSP, I found a fix. I don't think there's anything related to this topic online so I will post here for anyone who has the same issue.

The cause is the "QuickContactActivity.java" does not set a default "isOverlayWithDecorCaptionEnabled" on creation. It should be set to false by calling "setOverlayWithDecorCaptionEnabled(false)" in onCreate, so that the decorcaption, i.e. the title bar on top of the window, pushes the content of down instead of overlaying on the content. After adding this one line, the problem was fixed for me.

I am working on a particular device in our company, but I imagine this could apply to all android 11 devices.

What app is this from?

Hadron
Very rarely are people asking about notifications on their own phone. What usually lies behind these questions (apologies to the OP if this is not their situation) is that their partner sends them a screenshot, they see a notification on it they don't recognise and, for whatever reason, they can't live without knowing what it is and aren't able to just ask.

If it's your own phone you just pull the notifications down and you can see what it is.

Help Why do only some pictures transfer from Samsung Galaxy S7 to laptop?

J
Hey, to transfer all photos on your Samsung Galaxy S7 to laptop, my suggestion is Coolmuster Android Backup Manager. Its backup function can help you transfer all photos from your phone to the computer via USB cable directly. And it's free. And you can also use Dropbox, Bluetooth, etc. to help you do that. About the details, please search online. Hope this will be your help.

How Do I stop google uploading My Information?

nickdalzell
He means when you add a contact you can either choose to sync with Google (or various other accounts such as Microsoft Exchange, Samsung Account, etc) or save it as a 'phone' only contact meaning it does not sync or backup the details. It'd be a local only contact and if you lost the phone or busted it, that data would be lost.

I've saved contacts as phone only since my Nokia 5185i days. It's just a habit I refuse to break, much like keeping my music on an SD Card, and avoiding anything mentioning the 'cloud' or 'subscription'

RocketSpaceChallenge

KarmaHunter
I love games resembling Moon or Jupiter Lander (from my old C-64). I tried your game and graphics are OK but controls seem to be too fast to move the ship. Also, gas is not enough sometimes for the first levels (with the moving barriers) making it really hard to win (specially with the super sensible controls). Good concept though. Keep up the good work. Cheers.

Just had reply from Lenovo community forum that this has become an issue to users following their recent system update!
Disappointingly they hadn’t announced any issue, just waiting for users to complain!
Thanks for your reply, appreciated

googlefonts / noto-emoji - Can they be used in the App design?

codesplice said:
Yes, you can use the fonts in your app. You will need to include the copyright notice and license text as noted at https://github.com/notofonts/noto-fonts/blob/main/LICENSE. I've seen a lot of app developers include an "Open Source" section under their "About" menu which just lists out the open-source components (like fonts and libraries) which they're using along with the relevant license details.

Thanks! Good Info.
