HELP

svim
Your husband is apparently looking for non-existent problems and/or inventing suspicious items using random log files. Suggest he take his phone in person to a trusted, local phone service shop, sit down and discuss all his misconceptions and paranoia with an actual person in a one-to-one setting.
Just posting miscellaneous log files about otherwise typical processes running on any phone in an online help forum isn't going the help in this matter. It's a more involved issue that requires human interaction.

Screwed For Cellular Service

C
Straight talk was sold to Verizon and are in the process of turning off all other users on ST except Verizon users > If you are an ATT or any other tower user, you will start having phone problems. They sent us (two users) emails and voice mails as well as texts that our phones were going to be shut off because they were not 4g phones (they are). We brought out older phone and put the sim cards in and guess what ? They work just fine . They (ST) still hit one of the phones so far repeating the same thing . I called a number and got their recording saying there was a problem with the phone and were checking it. It is back on . I am paid up till April 18 and 17 respectively . It is back on now . Verizon will never be our provider or ST. I hope this helps someone . BTW I was not able nor was ATT store to port our old numbers to the new phones from ATT . ST locked the numbers down and did let us port them. We have had ST for years and this is the way they did loyal customers ...

Yeh, and WonLongKok as well. :D.



I can just imagine some poor peep speaking to T-Mobile customer service, "Can you activate my Pipi?" :thinking:

In my mind it was spoken with an Indian telemarketer dialect.


This might be pronounced like "anal"....and I had one of their cheapo tablets, it was crap.

If it was 'crap', then the pronounciation may not have been accidental, lol.

SD card format

svim
Look in your Moto G Play's Settings >> Storage menu and you'll see options to format a microSD card to be either Portable or Internal.

Just my opinion but you'll be much better off just leaving your card as Portable. If you do opt to change it to Internal, it's really important that you do so as an informed decision that this is a necessity, not just some idle experiment. This isn't something you should do out of curiosity, it's a commitment. The card's file system is changed in a major way, plus directly affecting the installed Android operating system on your phone.
It really isn't something you switch back and forth, use your card as either Portable or Internal. It's trivially easy to set the card as Internal, but more involved to reformat the card back to Portable. If you need more storage capacity for overall internal storage, you'll be better off just buying a phone with more internal storage. Set up a microSD card as Internal as a workaround, and be sure to research its pluses and minuses before rather than after.

5g Ethernet tether to wireless router create home network

5
After careful consideration I've decided to get the gl inet beryl from Amazon. It's a travel router I provide the 5g data from my phone with usb tethering instead and I can plug in two devices with RJ 45 cable. This company I'm about to work for is sending a desktop and only wants an RJ 45 connection. I could have just ethernet it over straight from phone but in case I have to update any settings on an actual router I wouldn't be able to do that with just straight ethernet tethering connect from phone.

Binamce must be teported by the masses

Yes, the overall picture is sad. Unfortunately, the world is ruled by the strongest. No matter how upset we are, this will not change. Therefore, it is very stupid to be offended by this and stop any attempts to invest at all or at least do something. The rate of crypto coins can jump, like the rate of any currency. These are absolutely normal things. This is how the market works, and I think it is very stupid to say that all these processes are controlled by "giants."
It would be more correct to study the crypto world and learn how to invest correctly. The site https://octocrypto.io can help you with this. Only then will you be able to change these rules.

Spen inputs to mouse inputs

J
Hi,
So a little backstory- i bought tab s8 for work (im grading and annotating med scans) but it turns out that the website apps, where I do my work, don't recognize Spen inputs, only mouse. So i bought bluetooth mouse an it works just fine but i want to use my pen to annotate and paint.
My question is if its possible to make an overlay that changes spen inputs to mouse inputs and of course pen touch to lmb click (and hold). If it is possible to make this, how much would be considered as adequate payment if I wanted to hire someone to write it?

REFORMAT SD CARD

svim
When you formatted that microSD card as Internal that changed the card significantly -- its file system was changed from being FAT32 to ext4, and it was encrypted so it only works with your specific phone. At that point you no longer should have used that card independently the way you did previously. The card's storage media was essentially and directly merged with your phone's internal storage. Your phone's internal storage is also using ext4 as its file system, and is encrypted. Also at that point both that card's storage media and your phone's storage media are using the same file system. You don't interact with the card any longer, it's managed and maintained by your phone.

By flip-flopping on changing that card back to portable, you are intentionally creating an instability issue with your phone. Its installed Android operating system was using that combined storage media as one expanded volume. Now you're going to force to be reduced is a major way. So just be prepared for a few reboots as the OS is being forced to readjust its fundamental storage capacity, and possibly needing to reinstall a few apps to restore them back to working condition. With the card being set as Internal, it cannot be reused in any other device, just to emphasize again, its encrypted to only work with that particular phone.

Anyway, if you do want to reset the card back to Portable, be sure to do the process using the Settings >> Storage menu. You're making a big change to your phone's functionality so be sure to follow the prompted warnings and instructions. Really, DO NOT just remove the card and reformat it a different device. So do the deed if you must, but format the card back to Portable using your phone. Once back to Portable , that returns it back to using FAT32 and it removes the encryption so you can reuse the card elsewhere again.
