Another day, another format

I got CHM Reader X. There is a chm file that I have. Supposedly the Moto G "cannot preview this file type". View attachment 157416

When I get oddball video files that won't play in my gallery, like flash and some others, I have found that I can share them to YouCut, and watch them that way.

If it is domething that I decide to keep or share, then I simply save it with YouCut, and the video is transcribed into a mp4 format.

Other files I just use an online converter.

How do I turn off paging in the new Samsung Notes app?

i'm not sure if it's a new update or not, but here's the solution i found:
tap three line button on the left top of main notes page. on the right of newly opened menu, there's a settings button. it opens Samsung notes settings, and there's page Style in general settings. there's pages and infinite page there. when you select either, new notes come out with the new setting.
i hope it helped.

I made an account and came here just to reply to you and to say THANK YOU!!! I've been looking for this for ages and I can't believe it was hidden away in the main setting page rather than be in the actual note's settings!

Note 8 to s21U

Any more experiences with the S21, especially coming from the Note 8? I have the Note 8 and love it. I'm looking to go either to the Note 20 Ultra or the S21. It's looking like the Note 20 is going to be the end of the Note line so unless the S21 has things that are much better I might go that route.

Hotspot not working

Once again sorry for the long wait between updates. I've tried all of your suggestions(Thank you very much for all of your help, BTW) and nothing seemed to work. Just today I went in and paid my bill. I asked the employee that I talked to about the issue. At this point I had reached my wit's end(almost $100/month isn't worth it if I can't use the hotspot for my other devices). She informed me that it had been happening at an abnormally high rate as of late but she had no clue why. I decide to give fixing my hotspot issue one more try before I switch to another service provider and paid my normal rate. I get home after work and low and behold the hotspot is working again!

I'm still racking my brain to try and figure out what the problem was. Whatever it was, it has to have been on MetroPCS's end. Maybe it is due to T-Mobile(their parent network) going 5G, or employee error or something else entirely. Either way I'll give it another month and if this happens again upon the next iteration of my billing cycle I'll be switching to another provider. Thank you guys for the help and input!

.thumbnails folder location on Android phone

It's different, for sure, at least in my limited experience.

But it is nothing to worry about.

If the folder grows to a large enough size to become a burden on the system, then this can be prevented by deleting the folder and then adding an empty file with the exact same name.

Android will not allow multiple files or folders with the same name to exist in the same area, so this will prevent the system from making a new folder.

Because you created a file and not a folder, the system also will not add to the contents of it.

iPhone to Andriod

Of the three, only Samsung has the micro-sd card. This is useful if you have lots of media files: music, movies, etc. There is a new phone each year. S10, S20, S21, S22, etc. Each time you change the phone, all that is needed is to remove the micro-sd card from the old phone and insert to the new phone. This is very helpful if you have a large library of music, movies, videos, etc on the micro-sd card. A good brand to buy will be the Samsung EVO Plus micro-sd cards. It comes in 64GB, 128GB, 256GB, 512GB or even 1TB.

Another reason to use a phone with micro-sd card is for the large storage capacity. You have a phone with top-of-the-line that shoots the best pictures and 4K videos that can have very large video files. For cost reasons, people are likely to buy a phone with 128GB storage instead of 256GB storage. That 128GB phone does not have enough room to store your 4K videos that you shoot on a day trip. Even with a 256GB storage phone, that might be an issue if you shoot a lot of HD videos. This is where a 1TB or 512GB micro-sd card comes in handy, storage is limitless as when the micro-sd card is full, you can pop out the micro-sd card that is full and insert a blank micro-sd card.

** S21 does not have micro-sd card. S21 FE is rumored to have the micro-sd card and hopefully Samsung will put the micro-sd card back for S22.

How root Docomo sh_04g

How root Docomo sh 04g
why?

there is no development community for your phone. there is no custom recovery which is your number one tool when you are rooted. i would never root a phone unless i have a custom recovery. custom recoveries can flash custom roms & kernels. they can also make nandroid backups. these are complete backup of your phone.....so if you screw up or something went went wrong, you can just go into recovery and restore a previous back up.

TBH i would not recommend that you root your phone.....that is if you can find a way to do it.

Help How to stop t-mobile notifications ?

That seems more like your typical adware type thing.

First suspicions would be any app installed within the last week or so.

It would be easier a while back, because apps that have ads used to show them soon after install and use.

Now, many apps wait a certain amout of time before they begin showing ads.

Check out the apps that you recently installed, and clear the caches of all of them.
Ads are usually stored in the cache of apps.

If you can narrow it fown to which app the ads came from, you can uninstall it.
Before you do, be sure to clear all data of the app before you uninstall it.

Some apps will place their ads in a different area, and they will remsin and contiue after the app is uninstalled.

Deleteing all data before uninstallation helps to prevent this.

IMO apps that do either of these things desearve no place on my device.

If you 'just can't live without' an ad-filled app, then you have some options as well.
