I came here to say everything that @Hadron said, but he beat me to it - and said it better anyway.

I honestly don't think that we'll see the 5a expand its availability beyond the US and Japan, and it's basically indistinguishable from the 4a 5G anyway.

If you're wanting to buy an A-series phone in the near future, I'd go for the 4a 5G; otherwise, maybe hold off and see what the 6a looks like this time next year.

I just got the new Sony Xperia 1 iii and had this issue but I found the solution.

Android 11 - Textra Version 4.43

- Hit the 3 dots at the top right
- Select "settings"
- Select "customize notifications"
- Make sure "play notification sound" is on
- Hit the "android settings" button under the notification style group
- In the notification menu that pops up, hit the "advanced" drop down
- select "sound" and choose your tone from the list
- back out using the top left back arrow
- hit the play button in the top right of the texts app to very the change.

Hope this helps.

You can subscribe to the Premium plan. Or you can search for some useful converters online to download Spotify songs. For example, you can use DumpMedia Spotify Music Converter. It can help you convert the songs to mp3. And you can download the songs and listen to the songs on your device.

One rather expensive all-in-one, with keyboard and mouse.

Thanks, I tried it then deslected calendars on the list but this morning they're showing again

Thank you for your guidance!
Even though I was able to select safe mode, the phone just returned to the same mindless loop.
I was even able to select recovery mode. The screen went to "no command"
So, we are working to reload purchased apps & fat fingering in the contacts. The photos were not very important so no great loss there.
I will download ADP for future use.

If your apps were purchased from Google Play or Amazon Appstore, then they should still be available on your account, and can be installed on a replacement device. Were the contacts synced with anything, like Google?

Also, if you are going to Wal-Mart...
I recently purchased a nice, unlocked Moto e (2020) there for $120 USD.

It has 2 GB RAM and 32 GB internal memory, and is capable of a 512 GB SD card as well.

It has a decent sized screen, and so far has been a great device.

I discovered it and worked at it, worked like a charm

Yeh, a power-bank taped to the back of the tablet and plugged in the USB could work.

But be aware if the old internal battery starts swelling and puffing up, it might split the tablet, and can be very dangerous.

I know what you mean I totally hate when this happens. I think the poster above is dead on with this. Also when you say it sometimes you might have to say it a little different but I don't know like the poster above I think just a simple correction on the keyboard after speaking it will do. Just make sure not to delete your learned voices samples etc.

I finally retired that Mate 10 last month, and replaced it with a Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra. But the Huawei still serves a purpose as a remote zapper for the TV and A/C, because it has an IR blaster.

Got to love those IR blasters!

I wouldn't worry about the "limited" 6GB RAM myself. Android updates do not necessarily mean that you need larger and larger amounts of RAM: my Pixel 2 has gone from Android 8 to Android 11 with no noticeable impact on performance, and it has 4GB of RAM. My daughter says that her Galaxy S8 (2017, originally Android 7, now Android 9) still runs fine and it too has 4GB. I do personally feel that part of the drive towards ever larger amounts of RAM is marketing: sticking a bit more RAM in may make more difference to sales than it does to usability. The biggest impact is likely to be on how many apps can stay in storage without having to reload when you switch back to them, but if you are a light user how important will that be?

Now that's not to say that a manufacturer can't release a badly-optimised update which slows things down, but it's rarely the lack of RAM that is responsible for that, just poor coding.

So sorry, that doesn't answer your question, just to say that if it were me making the decision I'd not worry about the difference between 6GB and 8GB of RAM.

I created a channel for your app. Good luck!!

I'm very much with Moody - we're a Microsoft free zone too - Minty fresh and Spicy (Mint 20.2 Cinnamon)

There are videos on Youtube explaining this.

Literally so many that I cannot even post any links, as I would have to watch and choose.

Search for 'external microphone on android phone' or similar.

I like the ones that demonstrate multiple microphones and show the different results.

This problem is rare in these phones but the ratio increases.

Thanks! I don't have a pen icon, but I have a three-dot icon which offers Button Order. That item provides the ability, add, delete, and order the icons.

There's some ideas here may work for you, which includes having the TAB character in the dictionary.

Not Gboard, but this will give you an actual real TAB key, Hacker's Keyboard.

Just want to stress the point @Hadron posted, go into the Settings menu and remove your Google account and any other accounts first.
You need to remove the Google account authentication you used way back whenever you first used this phone. Keep in mind that a Factory Reset only deletes the user account data, all the files and option/config files that are relative to your personal info and such. But the primary Google account that your phone is linked to is retained in the operating system itself on your phone -- and again, the Factory Reset only wipes that user data partition, it does nothing to the Android operating system partitions.
So be sure to delete your Google account first, then do a Factory Reset. And don't forget to remove your SIM card and microSD card. When you restart your phone and check the Settings menu, all your personal info should be absent. (... if you see your carrier's info still there that's in name only. Just note that it should be replaced when the next owner puts in their SIM card, and don't worry, without your SIM card no one can actually still continue using your carrier account anyway.)

If that S10e was already rooted when you bought it, presumably it's a pre-owned phone -- Samsung phones do not get sold as pre-rooted devices. Just note that being rooted, there's no definitive way for you to be sure it has or hasn't been compromised in some way. Well unless you bought it from a someone you know and trust implicitly. Otherwise casual, off-the-shelf hacks sold in the consumer market are relatively more apparent to detect with a trained-eye (and no, there's no online help forum that's going to be able to help you do this in a practical manner as it's very much a hands-on kind of task), but the better, more advanced and insidious hacks out there are much harder to detect and even more so to remove.
At this point, this phone should be considered to be unsafe to use even if it wasn't having the problem you posted. Your best option is to just flash a stock Samsung ROM which should restore it back into working condition. Flashing a stock ROM will reinstall a clean, non-rooted Android operating system and a stock Recovery.
