So a Samsung. Yes, that's what it looks like in my home region, sounds like it's the same when roaming.

Unfortunately what I don't know is whether other options were removed in Android updates, removed by Samsung, or are hidden somewhere really obscure. But I can see no sign of such things on my phone (also Samsung's version of Android 12), whereas they definitely used to exist in other brands with Android 2-5 (can't recall for 8-11, barely used 6 or 7).

yeah @Dannydet is a man of many words......LOL

i have yet to come across anything like that. can't you create a group text? that way you just have to do it once. or are they different each time?

Well you are asking for trouble on your banking and email. Are you sure you don't have passwords for them? Seems kind of odd that they don't make you set one up. I would never trust an app that does not make you have one. Are you absolutely sure about this?

If anything I would hop on a computer at least and setup some kind of password protection now, before you do anything else.

And I can't think of anything else you can do at this point other than a factory reset.

Good morning everyone.
I received a WhatsApp video call and I wanted to know if it is possible somehow, to recover the video call image file and save it as a video in the phone.
Thanks a lot to anyone who will answer,
Leonidas

can you solve my little puzzle game?

Well, so much for my plan to save the world.
After one day, my grumpy friend who is always complaining about "being out of touch with the world", has called it quits and insists on giving me back the phone.
Thanks you guys for helping.

That drainage happened on may 9th. The next day May update came out so I haven't had any battery drainage since update.

I forgot to mention that on my 9th. I had very odd auto brightness behavior. It would go to peak brightness all the time even in the shade. I did restart it a couple of times but still acted abnormal. Luckily a nice waitress at the bar let me used her wireless power bank(she didn't know that she had that feature on her power powerbank )

I have an iphone that i will be getting rid of, but i’m keeping my Nexus 6. That whale was the best phone i’ve ever owned. FWIW, i’m leaning towards the Pixel 6. Thank for the replies.

Nexus 6 remains my favorite phone of all time

Doesn't change anything. If you are on a call on speaker and put the phone on your desk, every 10 secs the screen dims, then goes black....coffee or not.

Yep, this ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I've had no luck getting the phone screen to stay on

I noticed this 1969 date on a few of my first Android phone's apps- and every phone I have had since then.

They are system apps, nothing to fret about.

Depending on how modern your phone is, there are some A-series phones with Android 11 that auto-activate power saving when the battery level drops to a certain level (usually around halfway). It's called 'Adaptive Power Saving Mode' and is in settings buried somewhere (I hate One UI).

Development thread moved to the dev area for better exposure. Good luck!!

I know Amazon sells used S4s (I got two S3's from them, an S4, and an S4 Mini) so you could potentially part one out (they only have tiny little screws holding everything together, not glue like a modern phone thank goodness!)

I am not the only one who favors older phones and I'm glad. Every phone today is either too darned big or a functional downgrade. (i.e., bland UI, no headphone jack or expandable storage, or removable battery, ya know, what makes Android different from Apple?) I refuse to live in a world where every device is a homogenized, every phone looks alike since 2015 stagnant mess.

I want variety like we had in 2007-2013 back.

its a Blaupunkt - but Most android Tv's have this - I can not find the app for it - if it is a system app -then even harder to find and remove - https://www.androidpolice.com/2020/...tent-from-your-play-next-queue-on-android-tv/ - I think system apps are hard coded into TV ?

So is it an app at all? If you mean "how do I stop it playing the next programme after the one I'm watching finishes?" that's likely to be a feature of the particular streaming service - quite a few of them do that no matter what platform you are viewing on. So if that is what you are asking about you'd have to check the settings of each service's app for an option, and if there isn't an option you are stuck.

For DownloadsDocument, is it no longer possible to query its uri table on Android 11?

It reminds me of the old AirPush spam 'notifications' but I don't think they exist anymore do they? Have you installed any apps lately? 'notifications' like that usually come from Cheetah Mobile, similar to AirPush

The funny thing is that the only USB-C compatibility problem I've had was with the cable that came with my s21. It does work with the s21, but not with some of my other devices, whereas my other cables (from Apple or Anker) work with everything I've tried.

I'm glad I ain't the only one who loves their old phone, although mine is an HTC Thunderbolt I got in 2020 via Amazon. There are ways to prevent unnecessary battery drain (I also got an S5 lying around).

Go through the apps list in settings, and check the little 'restrict background data' on each app. Turn master Sync off except for email and Google account, and NEVER use Wifi. For some reason, turning on Wifi on an S5 makes it run super hot and drain like mad. I think when the S5 was new, data plans weren't all unlimited so the TouchWiz interface kinda hard-coded a limit to background data usage.

Also, DO NOT update your apps. Newer versions not only eat up storage, but demand more CPU/RAM and background usage and kills battery faster. Also runs slower. Once I got back 2GB and uninstalled all the updates, the phone could manage a day or two of standby usage, and 3-4 hours of SoT.

settings>software updates>toggle off auto download over wifi

Likely far too late for you, but:
"installing twrp. I unlocked OEM, installed the above-mentioned picture and reset the phone."
I've done the same. After that, you can access the phone in fastboot mode only (until you flash a proper image).
To get to fastboot mode, do: the moment it powers OFF briefly, you hold vol up + power buttons, until screen flickers with three options:
recovery mode
fastboot mode
normal mode

Now use Vol up button to select fastboot, and vol down button to confirm.
You are in fastboot mode!

You can check if device is properly connected to laptop with:
.\fastboot devices
This should then show the device number on the laptop screen.

Now do any fastboot commands you need.

Good grief.. has a problem a lot of people are facing, incessantly asks for help, then suddenly just says "Ok I did it" and never returns to explain how.

Thanks a lot mate.

Agree with you Parishna. Whatever we figured out we should share.

Thank you for the direct positive answer on the connections. I am quite sure the installers just connected them all to the ignition!
It is cleat to me that unfortunately the A52 USB has no video output..My question is it possible to cast the phone's screen on the radio? Could Hotspot or Wi-Fi direct be a possible solution? I tried but with no success.
The aftermarket steering wheel controller remains a need from me!
Thanks again!

I have yet to try this but I looked for the noisiest environment and wondered what mic and headset were being used. For me that is a trucker. I saw some truckers with headset with mic. They were very happy with the clarity of the sound even when driving. Visit a large TruckStop on your next trip and just poll the drivers with a headset on. LIKELY they purchased it in a similar setting.

So why did you reply on a closed thread?

May 28th 2022 a.d.....
I too, have had this happen to me.
(phone call immediately hangs up when dialing out)...
Solution : Reboot the phone.
I think this is a Cricket wireless issue since nobody other than Cricket has the problem...
