Hi,

Hadron said:
I don't know what the problem is, but I wouldn't buy a new phone based on a personal theory, I'd try to understand the problem first, because if the problem isn't the handset then you could waste a lot of money that way. In fact I doubt your theory is correct, because if you failed to install WhatsApp on the phone then you never connected to them from that device and so they should have no record of any connection between the device ID and your phone number (current or previous).

So what exactly does this "banned" message say?

When you say you bought a SIM on return to the UK, did this come with a new phone number or did you port over an old one? It's usually numbers which get banned from WhatsApp rather than devices. Phone numbers are owned by the service providers and are a finite resource, so old numbers do get re-used. The provider should wait some period of time before re-issuing a number from a cancelled contract (can't remember how long, will be several months or maybe a year), but I wonder whether you got unlucky and got re-issued a number that had been banned due to a previous owner breaking the rules? It's just a speculation, but it's not impossible. If that's the case you will need to get through to a human being at WhatsApp to get it resolved. But if by any chance it is something like that then changing phones wouldn't help as long as you had the same phone number. This is why I think what you really need to do is get through to someone at WhatsApp and find out why it keeps being banned: once you know what the problem is you (or, hopefully, WhatsApp) will be able to work out how to fix it.

Following on - I suspect that you 'hit' the spot.
I have Factory Reset phone - re-installed WhatsApp - and Registered with an enitirely new SIM.
That now makes 3 days of 'clean' operation and no problems whatsoever.
Looks like it mgiht have well been down to the SIM/Phone No - can think of nothing else.
But that leads on to conjecture what else one could possiibly 'pick up' from an apparent new ( but previously used) SIM.
Just thanked a daughter for yesterdays delicious Easter Sunday meal - all via the magic of WA.

Best Rgds. & Thnxs.

....................................

WHOOPS - spoke far to soon - 3 days all OK then - back into the routine of BANNED/CLEAR and that is with a new number/SIM.
So once again - is it my Phone doing it? Something on my Phone??
Why don't Whats App at least state what their system finds that leads to the temporaryl BANNED?
I GIVE UP!

You have to visit your nearest Samsung Repair Center to know the exact problem. They Will guide you on what to do next. Or Do you have a hardware issue or not. Or you can visit iFixScreens Store to Diagnosis the issue. They provide free diagnosis services for your Samsung Galaxy S8.

Sorry for not responding, I've been learning more how android works and decided to make a new post.
Edit: I don't need help anymore

Open developer options, and select running apps.

Stop user apps that are running until the window goes away.
Whatever app you just turned off was the problem.

Welcome to Android Forums. Thanks for choosing AF as your go to source to get up to speed with a different OS. I hope that you enjoy your time here.

Also, your current app may need permission to read/write to the SD card.

Check your app's settings page, and be sure that Storage and Files & Media permissions and anything like that is allowed.

it is not resolving i tried many ways ,but i couldnt fix this issue

Davdi · Apr 17, 2022

There really is no need, Android is very good at storage management, From Android's perspective it doesn't matter whether apps are in the devices storage or an SD card formatted as internal, it's all the same to Android. Just be aware that you'll need to use the fastest (Class 10 or better) card, and doe to how the cards are made - I believe that anything above 64GB is made by using multiple 64GB chips ( it may be multiple 32GB chips maybe someone with more knowledge can clarify). this can potentially reduce the life of a card as it will be read/written to many more times as internal storage that if you just used it as removable storage for music/video, photos etc.

Look up. Click on the My Talking Tom. It will take you to another forum link. Select the Google play link and it should take you to the Play store.

Incase you can't find it here it is:

Also worth mention is Simple Gallery Pro.

https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.simplemobiletools.gallery.pro/

Files can be hidden and then password protected.

Unfortunately, these files are only hidden well from the app itself, and the related file manager (Simple File Manager Pro).

With a little know how, they can be found with a typical file manager.

Keep in mind that this has still been enough to keep nosy busybodies at my work from getting into anything.

But Anemo seems even better to me, especially if I use my launcher (KISS) to hide the Anemo app from view.

This means that the app icon will not even show up at all unless a setting in my launcher is changed.

KISS is a very odd (but excellent) launcher, and most folks have not even heard of it.
It is totally different from other launchers, and as such makes my device exceedingly strange for anyone else to navigate.

The launcher actually takes only a short time to learn, but this is more than enough to keep others at bay.

https://f-droid.org/en/packages/fr.neamar.kiss/

Note that many launchers have the option to hide apps, but having an oddball like KISS is also great for security.

I have attempted using the links provided in the above posts - However, the first link points to LG Developer Website, which is no longer available. The page states that "LG Mobile Developer was terminated on December 31, 2021". Following the second link in the above post, under "Pre-Requirements", I'm directed to the "Unlock Bootloader Of LG Stylo 4" page on the same site, which tells me I need to enter the Device ID and IMEI number at the LG Developer Website which, as stated before, no longer exists. It sounds like LG has stopped providing developer support. Does this mean I will not be able to root my Stylo 4, or is there another path I can take?

Found this cheat sheet that has the remaining 3G, 4G LTE and 5G bands that the carriers (T-Mobile included) use.

Short version:

5G: n41, n71, n261, n260
4G LTE: 2, 4, 12, 66, 71

I found out that the Z Fold 3 will not fit in a selfie light ring, because it's too thick for the phone bracket to hold it in. So much for making videos with a light ring - unless I want to buy a second tripod, and I don't...

Hey all I have looped to gather game icons which I put them into a variable that is inside an class:

Java:

public class AndroidModel {
   private String name;
   private String title;
   private Drawable icon;
   Intent androidLaunch;

   public AndroidModel(String name, String title, Drawable _icon, Intent _launch) {
       this.name = name;
       this.title= title;
       this.icon = _icon;
       this.androidLaunch = _launch;
   }

   public String getName() {
       return name;
   }

   public void setName(String name) {
       this.name = name;
   }


   public void setTitle(String title) {
       this.title = title;
   }

   public String getTitle() {
       return title;
   }


   public void setIcon(Drawable icon) {
       this.icon = icon;
   }

   public Drawable getIcon() {return icon;}


   public void setLaunch(Drawable icon) {
       this.androidLaunch = androidLaunch;
   }

   public Intent getLaunch() {return androidLaunch;}
}

In my mainActivity:

Java:

class AppInfo {
   String appname = "";
   String pname = "";
   Drawable icon;
   String Source = "";
   Intent Launching;
}

AppInfo newInfo = new AppInfo();

newInfo.appname = activityInfo.applicationInfo.loadLabel(getContext().getPackageManager()).toString();
newInfo.pname = activityInfo.packageName;
newInfo.Source = activityInfo.applicationInfo.sourceDir;
newInfo.Launching = pm.getLaunchIntentForPackage(activityInfo.packageName);
newInfo.icon = activityInfo.applicationInfo.loadIcon(getContext().getPackageManager());

androidList.add(
   new AndroidModel(newInfo.appname, newInfo.appname, newInfo.icon, newInfo.Launching)
);

And I'm calling that back up once Glide populates that page by doing this:

Java:

@SuppressLint("UseCompatLoadingForDrawables")
@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(AndroidAdapter.MyViewHolder holder, int position) {
   ImageView imageView = holder.mPhotoImageView;

   if (!mAndroidList.get(position).getName().isEmpty()) {
       Glide.with(mContext)
               .asBitmap()
               .load(mAndroidList.get(position).getIcon())
               .diskCacheStrategy(DiskCacheStrategy.ALL)
               .skipMemoryCache(true)
               .priority(Priority.HIGH)
               .signature(new ObjectKey(String.valueOf(System.currentTimeMillis())))
               .apply(new RequestOptions().override(150, 150))
               .into(imageView);
       holder.mTitle.setText(mAndroidList.get(position).getName());
   }
}

But it seems to crash my app once it gets to the load(...) part. I know it has the app icon because I check it out using this:

and it came up just fine.

So what is it that I am missing in order to load these drawable variables into Glide?
