@puppykickr's suggestion above about "Do Not Disturb" may however give you what you want: you can create a list of apps that are still allowed to notify you when you are in DND mode, so if you do that and then leave it in DND that should give you the result you are after.

You've certainly got more apps whose notifications you can't disable than I have - I have fewer than half of those apps on my phone at all, and my Clock app does let me disable them (probably not the same app as yours, as the Clock is something manufacturers often replace with their own version). And I don't think any of the remainder have ever given me a notification, which means they aren't a problem.

I've no idea what "Chrome Stories" are because I disabled Chrome on my phone. But this doesn't make me regret that choice at all .

Just something to consider but while Treble was introduced in Oreo's release, that doesn't necessarily mean Alcatel included support for it. Most manufacturers are pretty lax about including all the features that come with each new version, or they just don't opt to (i.e. Samsung won't include adoptable microSD card support by default).

So don't be surprised if your Alcatel 1 doesn't support GSI.

While you are right to question the support. Even the go editions supported treble. I have two budget Alcatel phones (one of which is a 5 dollar phone) and both support project treble.

Bump for help thanks.

Also no casting to chromecast feature..

Why can't youtube implement these great features themselves

Click to expand...

Oh, they do- they just want you to pay for it, lol.

Yeah, NewPipe is pretty great.

Just be aware that Google absolutely hates it, and will periodically change their inner workings, and then NewPipe and other apps like it will stop working.

But fear not, because the folks at NewPipe work tirelessly in such situations to get an update out as soon as possible.

When such an incidence happens, you can check on what is going on on GitHub, basically in real time.

Hi, normally the home screen looks like this: View attachment 156710 right?
The google search bar is on top, and apps below. Can't I make it like this?

The thing is, when I press and hold and drag the Google search bar widget to the bottom, only the top layer of apps move to give space, the very bottom layer of apps are still. Can't I do that on Android version 10? home screen layout isn't locked

As others have noted, it's your launcher that controls those things. I would suggest looking at Microsoft launcher, they keep it very generic and easy but add a few things like a two row dock if you'd like.

I have a new Sony Bravia 950H and the Bell Fibe App and it works most of the time. When it works the picture is awesome. It hangs when changing channels at times. I also have a 4k fire stick which works with no issues with Fibe TV. Bell also has their own streaming device. You may want to send an email to fibetvsupport@bell.ca. They really seem eager to help.

My Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2019) SM-T510 simple refused to work properly on 5Ghz wifi, no matter what I did.

My solution was to go into my router device's admin page, and create two seperately named network SSIDs for the different frequencies:

- My 2.4Ghz Wifi network
- My 5Ghz Wifi network

I set the tablet to only use "My 2.4Ghz Wifi network", and no issues since.

I believe that is a swipe display.
More importantly, what the heck is the double white lines?

Problem solved - it was the swipe display.
White lines are just light reflection

@puppykickr yep I see that now, many thanks for the clarification

Hello everybody,
I am carrying out the reading of the QR code and with the result search within a database to obtain information.
My problem is this: I use the ZXing library and the codes are read without problems. Once the scanner activity that displays the camera is launched, it continuously reads and processes the first valid code it finds.
I would like to give the operator time to go to the desired code (already viewing the camera of course), then press a button to perform the reading.
Can you give me some suggestions?
Thanks so much.

I guess it's because of the android version
The only way might be flashing this...

I did but it didn't work. I tried to get it elsewhere with no luck either. That's three strikeouts on one thing. Why is that hard to read these fake books? I probably will end up with a physical stack instead.

Yeah, there are thousands (probably) of QR code reader apps out there, and finding a good one can be difficult.

I have recently had luck with this one...

It is possible that some app you are using is making copies of your photos.

A more common possibility is that there is a '.thumbnails' folder that is full of low resolution copies of your pictures.

Use your file manager to locate these folders, and then use the 'show hidden files' function.

Look for this .thumbnails (the dot in front is important).
Many crappy (ie. stock) gallery and video apps require these little pictures of your pictures in order for you to see the little versions when you search through your media.

They are not really needed, take up space, and cause confusion.

A great gallery that does not require them at all?

Simple Gallery Pro
https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.simplemobiletools.gallery.pro/

To eliminate the .thumbnails folder and keep it from recurring, you must first delete it and then replace it with an empty file called .thumbnails.

It is imperitive that you remember to delete the FOLDER and replace it with a FILE.

Android will not allow two items with the same name to exist in the same location.
If you delete the folder, then create another folder with the same name, then the folder will just do what it did before.

So replace the folder with a file.
That way, when the pesky app tries to make a .thumbnail folder there is already a file there with that name.
So it cannot make the folder.

Also, keep in mind that apps like to save pictures and videos wherever THEY want, which is often not where we think they should be.

Apps make their own folders, sometimes with names that seem to have nothing to do with whatever app is using them.
(So frustrating!)

My main problem is getting a not connected to server message sometimes. Why isn't it connected? Suppose it had been an emergency. There have been times when it is on their main page (I guess) and it says sign in or sign up, but that hasn't happened lately, thank goodness.

Click to expand...

Wow.
Yes, I agree that this type of service is not for emergencies.

However, any Android device with/without a provider/SIM card can still call 911 if it can reach a tower.

That is required by law.

In fact, if you find someone else's locked phone, you can call 911 with it even while it is locked.

As far as the 'not connected' issue, I have come across that.
What I believe happens is two-fold:
The app is battery optimized, and so the system shuts it down after a period of non-use.
Secondly, the app barely runs in the background, spending a large amount of time cached.
So when you are in a hurry and turn the app on, it is groggy from sleep.

A couple of things that could help is keeping the app in your recents when you suppose you will use it most often, and turning off battery optimization.
Personally, I found that keeping a solid Wi-Fi connection at all times helps the most. (I have a few devices that are Wi-Fi only, and use Dingtone on them.)

Still getting used to it its not much different than my s6 active but a lot faster

The biggest battery drain recently has been incessant mobile network selection activity. Obviously selecting a mobile network every 10 milliseconds all day long is not useful. However I live in a dead zone and that particular battery drain problem may be unique.

I make wifi calls and having wifi and wifi calling turned on (although not making or receiving any calls) may drain battery. I partly solved the problem by selecting 3G only under connections -> mobile networks. I still see sporadic battery use with no phone phone use (or any other use. I have all apps except calendar set to deep sleep (app "will only work when you open them")

I just downloaded the March 1 update. Hoping it will help.

It is a year ago today... the 6th March 2020, that the S20 series was released around the world.

Thanks, downloading it now...
Done and installed. The serial connection shows a little less spurious activity, but unplugging it is the only way to check the battery life since it is also a charging cable. My ONLY reason to download any update is battery life. Nothing else matters whatsoever. So I am hoping for the best and expecting to be somewhat disappointed.

What worked for me was to download the beta version for Chrome. No problems now, though I did waste hours. Thx all.

You don't need antivirus apps on Android - and, for the most part, those that are available don't actually work due to the way Android runs each app in a "sandbox". One app can't peak inside another app to see its code or what it's doing. They can see the package names of other app, but most malicious apps would pretend to be a legitimate app (with a legitimate package name) and thus wouldn't necessarily get detected. Security apps may provide other useful features like permission monitoring or location tracking of a lost phone, but the antivirus portion isn't realistically be of much use.

Even after the phone no longer receives operating system updates, it still receives security updates through Google Play Services, and Play Protect still functions to protect you from known malicious apps. Don't install apps from outside of the Play Store and you'll be just fine.
