It sounds to me like the phones were lost/stolen, and then recovered by the rightful owners.

They have been factory reset, and the information needed to legitimately get through FRP is not working.

That is what I gather from the OP story.

As @svim suggested, take the devices to a carrier shop and have them deal with it.

As @Hadron suggests, this may be an extra Google security thing.

And as @ocnbrze says, we are not allowed to discuss any way except for the proper way to get past FRP.

If the original information used to set up the accounts on the devices is not working, then that is an issue to take up with Google and/or the carrier.

There is no Notifications & shared in the Google app. I cannot follow the instructions.

Start up the Google app, tap on your account pic in the upper right menubar, tap on Settings to access options for things like 'Notifications', 'Personal results', 'Channels & Interests', and plenty more. We have the ability to control a lot of whet Google's vacuuming up about ourselves, it's just something of a hassle to do it.

is there any way or apps that can play lower version of game in android 10??? like vmos or something?? i would like to test and play those rpg classic that runs on android 5 and below

Click to expand...

I've never heard of such a thing. And the only way I know to do that, would be to actually have an older device, that has Android 5 or below on it.

Rather like some peeps like to retro-game on PCs. Where older games might only run on Windows 95, 98, or XP, and so they build PCs from old parts.

.

But FireFox has its own webview as well!
Not to mention how snail slow it is, the security flaws, and the horrible politics of the company.

I thought I dremp up this thread!!!
It does exists!!!

Wooo...... Go Boots!!!!

do you have a screen shot of it?

kind of hard to guess at something that we can 't see. it really could be anything at this point.

Great news. Glad you are all set!!

I think I'll visit an AT&T store to see if I can find an affordable plan there.

I doubt AT&T will activate your Nexus 6, it's not listed as compatible with AT&T VoLTE (which is now required) in either link below. That is probably why Net10 had you switch to a Verizon SIM.

AT&T HD Voice unlocked phones for VoLTE:

so samsung has a utility program called Smart Switch that works with all of their samsung phones to help move data and files over to their new devices. it works with apple products as well.

here read this:

For the cost of replacing the screen, you can buy a Galaxy Note 9 or even a 10+ and be far more up to date, with many additional features. Your Note 3 very likely has a digitizer that is failing due to old age. Actually, extreme old age in phone terms. I commend you for caring for your phone all these years. It has been a trusted companion to you... but it's time to say farewell.

I think that the problem here is that the background is half light, half dark, so neither light nor dark icons works.

Does your device or launcher allow you to turn this off, or turn off the transparent notification bar? I use Nova launcher which has this option (and a black notification bar hides the stupid punch hole camera, which is a bonus).

Hi, thanks for the response.

It MAGICALLY fixed itself! Overnight, this issue went away. I knew it wasn't an issue with the wallpaper image being half light and half dark, because I had the same home screen wallpaper image for over a year, when things were working fine.

lol, maybe the update to Daylight Savings Time adjusted things properly, who knows.

Stupid technology! ha!

anyway thanks for the response

ok so i just changed the storage location to the sd card. so will the photos that are on internal now find their way into the sd card for storage?

and if they do move by themselves into the sd card storage will the google photos migrate back into the sd card for storage?

when i did a search on how to put google photos back on my phone those instructions did not apply to my phone as i do not have the same steps.

i open the google fan icon then tap some photos to check them then click the 3 dots in the upper right top side of Hamburg menu and i do not see any reference to downloading them back to the phone.

so does anyone know how i can get the google photos back into my phone so i can get them to the sd card. if that is not possible then i will have to get a 128gb phone so i might just be able to get them into internal storage.

thanks.

UPDATE: Turns out Musicolet can do this. It was in Advanced Settings. (nice)

6 years later and still no replies to this post...
WOW!!! This used to be the place to go for the best answers.

thanks, i tried it again later and it worked. now to see if i can figure out how to get my photos from google to my sd card. when i went thru the google suggestions i did not have the correct procedure to get the photos from google to my phone, let alone copy them to the sd card.

Not a problem,now if you excuse me...

The memory you see available is not what I am speaking of.

You can have a device empty of your apps, yet the system memory partition can still be full.

Even if you disable an app, regardless of the method, it will still take up a certain amount of space- it just will not grow or show up as an available app for you.

+1 to that (gonna bring the "+1" back from the dead.....who's with me?)
