Help Re-Format SD Card

A bit late. I did back up the data, then re-formatted the card as portable and it's fine now. It seems some people think that once it is initially formatted for internal, you are screwed and it cannot be changed to portable otherwise Android in messed up.

I have now done it all and it seems ok. It connect to the PC and I have transferred all the backed up files back to the sd card and they all work.

Help Can't connect to school Wi-Fi network

Downloaded a QR code scanner, and it's stuck on "Waiting for connection..."

Then download from somewhere that you do have a connection...
home, Wal-Mart, public library, McDonald's, etc..

Also, I highlyrecommend getting one from F-Droid.
An app like this has sensitive permissions (camera, internet, etc.).

Google Pay on Galaxy Watch Active I

Perhaps you just need to install Google Pay on the watch for it to work. Not installed doesn't mean not compatible. I'd try that first if you haven't already.
It's not available for the watch. I don't think there is a Gear version of it. Samsung wants you to be in their universe.

I use Samsung pay regularly..... Don't have a problem using it.

Help Microphone Permission(Google Assistant)

Yep, I was thinking about that too. How come it will ask the first time and never again until phone restarts. Then I remembered that Device Care added Google app to deep sleep. I checked deep sleep list and google app werent there. Probably got removed after update. I manually added it to the list of deep sleep apps. Now after certain time of using google assist it will ask "While Using, Only This Time, Don't Allow"

Same Platform Different Name

If the only difference is the name what are the odds that the new one is a scam too?

Anyway I don't know any of these apps but if the data are internal to the app you are out of luck. There is no guarantee they would be compatible (just because you can't see changes doesn't mean there aren't any), but even if they were you'd need root to access the databases. Not all devices are rootable, and on most the rooting process erases all apps and data on the device.

Of course if the apps both have an option to back up and restore data you can try backing up from one and see whether you can restore on the other. Otherwise your best bet is probably to contact the developer. But of course if it's a scam they probably don't want to give you your money...
