Help with Google app please!

svim
Well re-reading through your initial posting, perhaps the Google app itself isn't so much the actual problem but it's just a secondary conflict to the text-to-speech function. (One is just a system-level, added app, the other an integrated part of the installed Android operating system on your device) Have you tried just going into your Settings menu and resetting the Speech-to-Text options?

SD won't take apps

I thought this problem was solved years ago. Now it's back, or never left. I was trying to move some to SD, but there's no such option. Please don't tell me I have to download ANOTHER app in order to do that (unless of course it's true).

Not a good idea to run apps from flash storage, and that's the way to think of sd cards, storage, not memory.

Unable to view location history

Z
My kid did not delete the location data. I have mine enabled, and nothing is displayed either. You should not be able to enable location history and then no location history is displayed. Whatever apps are needed for it to work then, should be explained better by google, which has been doing a poor job with user interfaces for many years. Or maybe google is just interested in monetizing your location, which is why it is so obtuse.

Smartlife, cloudedge and aitwit notifications problem

I work for a company where we install video doorbells (not Ring). We have a few models that have a particular problem with a widely used app. By now I'm desperate to find a way to solve this, because it's really affecting our customers experience with the product. This is a problem they are only experiencing on Android devices. I'm hoping someone here has had this problem, or a similar one, and has some insight I haven't thought about before. On Apple the apps work without a glitch.

This problem is not related to a specific phone brand, but it only occurs on recent Android devices. So we see this problem on Samsung (A and S series), Huawei, OPPO, OnePlus, Xiaomi, etc. But only on devices that were released in the last year or so. Older devices do not seem to have this problem, as of yet (or those customers have not yet contacted us).

Expected behavior:
Our video doorbells use either the Aiwit, Smartlife or Cloudedge apps. When someone rings the doorbell, the customer should get a screen as if they are receiving a call. They can either accept that call or decline it. When they accept that call, the app should launch and they should have a video and audio connection, seeing the person who is standing in front of their door.

These are all the manufacturers in China? Suggest you contact them, and see if they can suggest anything. Maybe there's a common problem with them?

Does Android 4.1 run Google Play Store version 6.7.13?

svim
Keep in mind that 6.7.13 version of the Play Store app is a very dated one. (Current version being 26.x.x) So you're likely to experience a lot of limitations when trying to interact with Google's current online Play Store service. Also, version 4.x.x of Android being very dated and no longer supported by Google, there isn't a lot of third-party developer support at this point neither. So finding apps that still work with Jelly Bean are still floating around in the Internet, but you'll probably find it easier to sideload APKs from sources like apkmirror.com than on the Play Store. With the caveat that apps that run just on your mobile device are one thing, apps that have to interact with online services will be more problematic.

alarms no longer showing up in alarm list.

O
Hello, the alarms work like normal, I get the dismiss/snooze screen when the alarm goes off, and all else is normal, but my alarms no longer show in the list where previous alarms are stored until I delete them.

I go to where the list is supposed to be by telling google to show alarms, and it takes me to where the list should be, so the area they are stored is there, just no alarms listed. All that is there is something stating my alarms will be listed there and a "No alarms"

I have already cleared the clock apps cash, and this is on a galaxy tab S2, android 7. Thanks

Help Is There A Way To Remove The Internal Battery For The Alcatel A30 Fierce?

Courland
Well, yeah. You can remove the battery, but the problem is that as far as I know, this model is not compatible with the batteries from other developers. It means that even if you will be somehow able to remove the battery, you have to replace it with the same battery. You can try to see if a company like starlabs.com.sg will be able to help you, because I don’t know so much about it. Maybe it’s possible to manipulate the operational system, but I don’t think that Alcatel is the phone that deserves that much of an attention. Anyway, it’s up to you!

Updating OS on Androids.

Honestly, right this week in the UK I'm seriously considering spending £69 for a new £150 phone, the Redmi 9 from Xiaomi on Mi.com , discounted direct from the manufacturer, 2 year warranty, sealed, latest Android and latest UI version, 2 sims and sd slot. This would be a 5th current phone, I have a Moto E6 Plus (battery removable like @puppykickr) a Nokia and another 2 Xiaomi phones. I never got around to selling 4 of these :p. They have even better phones discounted to a little over £100.

Xiaomi aside, don't get hung up on small capacity removable batteries to spite your face, as it were. I've had Android phones for 10 years and we've all been there.

There are great new budget phones around that are very well built.
I can look over the market later and recommend others.

(I haven't read the last two posts here as I'm out of time).
