That's great, thanks, just what I was looking for. It prompted a second look at the above-referenced manual but the icons list doesn't include that pic. Just need to try it out now.

Thanks all,

Ian

In 2022, my android at reboot (and after the biometric expiry period) prompts for the Password string that I set up inside Samsung Pass.

Interesting, that may be the only one and it appears to be compromised because of the need to keep the coil area clear which limits the size of the magnets. Some of the reviews indicate problems with the phone not staying in place.

yeah that's the issue i have had with most magnetic car mounts. though the magnet is strong. keeping it in the correct position is the problem. you hit a bump and the phone becomes crooked. however, the other iottie mounts are great. they have lasted being in the car with triple digits temps and not melt or fall off. i used it religiously when i had the note 8 and note 10+

This is something that get's me, and it often comes up on AF. Why is that US carriers seem to charge extra for tethering or hotspot usage? Data should be data, whether just the phone is using it or a tethered laptop or something,

I have a data allowance of 60GB a month with Nihao Mobile, and they don't care how I use that data, whether it be tethered or not. I've never got anywhere near using 60GB in one month.

Ask your friend to check if support for SMS/MMS is actually enabled in their iMessage app.

Does your frend have similar problems exchanging text messages with other Android users or just you? And conversely, do you encounter similar problems with any other iPhone/iMessage users?

Thanks for your link, everything working well!!!!

So what was the fix? Did you flash a stock RUU to recover the device, or did you manage to get a ROM installed? And if you did manage to install the ROM, how did you do it (use TWRP to format the internal storage?)?

As an aside, if you have a USB OTG adapter you can connect a USB flash drive and flash a ROM from that, or write a TWRP backup to it. That's how I did these things when I had an M7, rather than bother trying to copy the ROM to the internal storage after doing the factory reset which you need to do as part of the ROM install.

I would strongly recommend you do not manually install Android Studio from their web site and instead use the Ubuntu package from an Ubuntu repository. Once you start manually installing programs you also have to do things like manually creating all the necessary links (i.e. /usr/bin) plus the integral package management in your Ubuntu install won't register or maintain it -- you will be responsible to always update/patch/upgrade Android Studio instead of having it automatically for you.

i have a bunch of ip cams most are foscam cameras but a few that are other brands. anyway i need to find a good free to try program that will let me find the cameras and get into then so i can change the ip address the user names the passwords and the ports. i do not need any apps for the phone as i use the tinycam app and that seems to be able to find all the cameras i have ever tried to use.

i had program one time but during a pc reset i lost that one but never needed it so i never tried to find it again, but now i would like to get that back and i can't find it or even remember the name of that program.

the foscam program will not work and i have the amcrest program that will not work and the security eye program and that will not work. so if some one knows of a program that is free to try so i know if it works i can buy it please pas that one on.

thanks.

Actually I assumed that the problem was a simple privacy concern: having a device in your home which could allow the employer to listen in or take a peek whenever they feel like it, and therefore wanting to know whether there was a way of checking whether they were (ab)using those capabilities.

A web page will consist of links, that point to various items (i.e. text files, images, etc.), but if some or any of those links are not pointing to the correct locations of the actual text files or images that needs to be corrected. So are you absolutely sure that you have all the necessary files in the right directories and that those directories are accordingly named and located? Your implication that Android doesn't support html is confusing, please clarify.

try wiping cache and even data for the chrome browser and see of that helps.

I've made a simple Webview app. I'd like to add a slide-out drawer of some sort that acts as navigation to different web pages. I've been looking at various approaches including android Studio Navigation activity but I cannot understand how to edit this to show web pages.

What would be a good approach for me to take in this?

If a component has broken there are basically 2 possibilities: the GPS antenna (or the connection to it) or the entire motherboard. The actual GPS (& Galileo, GLONASS, etc) hardware is in the SoC (system on a chip), not a separate component, so the antenna is the only thing you could fix without replacing the whole motherboard.

To be honest, damage to the SoC, or to the motherboard in a way that only affects GPS, feels unlikely to me. I'd have thought either a disconnected antenna or a firmware fault would be more likely. When you reinstalled the latest update was that a full firmware flash or just a small patch? I'd suggest trying a full firmware flash to be sure. You should also certainly try a factory reset before you consider replacing the motherboard (all your data are gone if you replace the motherboard so there is no downside to trying a reset first).

And apologies for suggesting this, but just to rule out the stupid possibilities: you aren't using it in some "EM radiation protection" phone case? People do actually sell such things, and any case that actually blocked radio waves (i.e. wasn't simply an ordinary case being sold to the gullible) would interfere with GPS reception.

Hi what does ‘used.samsung.android.easy setup.com’ mean? I saw it on my google activity page and don’t know what it is, I’ve never seen this before. Thx

AFAIK it still does. Although I've only seen roaming when using a carrier's service internationally. Like when I was using China Unicom service in the UK, Ireland, and Netherlands.

The OP @Milo Williamson are doing international travel? Which is something that can make a phone show a roaming indication.

Not at all, was pretty much in doors at the house today.

If you take your SIM card and your microSD card, and put them both next to each other you'll see that they're different as far as shape and dimension, and that the metal contacts differ in number and location. Now visualize your phone's card slot -- the corresponding metal contacts have to be located to be in the exact same location when you have the tray inserted. A SIM card isn't going to fit into the tray's microSD card spot, nor will any of the contacts line up correctly if you do manage to jam it into place. There is no magic way tor a phone to move its own internal components to different locations, the slot is soldered permanently to the logic board.
You need to get a dual-SIM phone order to do what you want, or a phone with dual eSIM support. It's not just a hardware issue either, when your phone doesn't support multiple SIMs, more than one SIM card isn't going to work anyway. If the installed firmware doesn't already include dual-SIM support, it's not an option.

yes i know that the sd cards are not the same as sim card are. so i took the tray and put it in the phone about where the firs sim sould set in the phone if it had 2 sims and it did not register so either there is not actual connections or the program just will not read that sim in that spot


so i think my best action will be to either to just get a tracfone card for the next few cycles and see if this free metro number goes ofline again and then just put the tracfone sim back into this phone. or to see if i can get a good dual sim phone the is 128gb for storage and then have both sims regitered to that phone. i can do the tracfone online but may have to call metro to get the metro sim connected to the new phone.
thanks

You might also want to try asking your question at Amazon's help forum for Fire TVs. There's probably a lot more Fire TV users there that can provide more specific and relevant suggestions:

I used to have one of those belt clip thingies for my Nokia 5185i I used up till 2010. Thing popped off each time I sat or crouched. That poor Nokia had to have the battery (which was also the back of the phone) duct-taped to the phone just to keep it powered on since after so many drops the battery snaps were long broken.

Back in those old crazy Nokia days we had a guy at the Cingular Wireless store who could literally fix any phone in seconds. You could hand him a busted LCD Nokia 5100 and he'd have it fixed in less than a minute. Still amazes me looking back on it. FAST. Nowadays phones are made where folks just toss them into the garbage to get their 'next upgrade itch' going. Even though today phones have even less features than that N95 did.

Confused about your tar.gz and gzip correlation, they're two different archiving protocols. As a file, each one is its own file type and the only commonality is both use compression to reduce file size.

Regarding the error messages, if you open up one of those tar.gz files it will most likely result in a directory with its files. If you put the patches in that same directory try compiling again to see if that works out. If it's still a problem, use a text editor to open the 'config' file and search for lines that pertain to those error messages.

@Milo Williamson check out the link i just posted.

I could not understand the question till the end. Is it about emojis or emotions that people share when playing poker (or a similar card game)?
I'm not sure if I understood that correctly, but it takes a lot of effort to learn to control your emotions while playing some card games where it is important. It is even important if you play online casinos at casinosnotongamstop.online because your mind needs to be cold as ice to make correct decisions and not act out of emotions.
I think the only way to learn this is to practice because no one knows you better than you know yourself.

Hey,
thank you very much for all all of the information, it was much more than what I had hoped for! Also, the idea with a second camera app is both simple and brilliant, I will do that

Best regards

Reasonably helpful, I'm waiting for the school year to start to try this app!
