Why can't apps be installed to the SD card?

S
Phones at a sensible price range don't have adequate storage for my liking.

Aren't SD cards made of the same stuff as onboard flash memory? SD, SSD, NVME, it's all the same really.

I use a fast Kingston in the phone, which I originally bought the fastest of for use in a high definition video camera.

If it wears out it wears out, they're cheap to replace. I don't keep only one copy of anything important. My phone is a temporary place. When I sort the photos from a holiday, I put them on the computer, which is backed up to two seperate external drives alternately, stored in seperate locations.

Phone not working

Hadron
Maybe it is the SIM card failing? A missed call notice will come via a different channel from a voice call, so I wouldn't exclude the possibility that it's the SIM that's the issue. Failing SIM cards can work for a while after a restart and then drop out later.

You could test if you have another phone by using the SIM in that for a while - though I have known a failing SIM to work better or worse in one phone than another. But SIMs do fail, and I can't say for sure that this might not produce the symptoms you see.

Help Nokia C01 not charging.

J
I took it to a repair place this morning who tried a couple things and then told me it wasn't worth fixing and I was better off buying a new phone (I then went and bought another cheap prepaid, this time a Nokia C02 since that was easy to get hold of and cheap). Of course just a few minutes ago I randomly plugged the old C01 in and somehow as if by magic the phone started charging. I can't trust that its actually working working and wont fail at the wrong moment so I will keep using the C02 and leave the C01 in a drawer at this point.

Help Samsung A54 won't receive calls when wifi is on

Never thought of that. Will it erase any of my data?
Click to expand...

Yes, a factory reset will erase all your data, so do a backup before doing a factory reset.

Test your phone out after the factory reset, before restoring your data..If it's fine after the factory reset, but if the problem shows it's self after restoring data, you'll know where the issue is.

Debug Settings Moto Edge 2022

LilBitCrayCray
I originally turned the phone off to charge and upon turning it back on I was taken to the logo screen. I attempted to cycle it off/on with no success. I was only able to pull up the menu for flash reboot. I tried to start in safe mode with no avail. The only response I could get was to turn off. I installed the moto usb driver, adb and debug zip files, plugged the phone in and now need a command.

Yes and unfortunately that message will always be on your lock screen, every time it locks....

I don't mind my lockscreen always saying "If found please contact ...." myself. I've done that for as long as I've had a smartphone.

Though these days I rarely see it because I wake my phone with the fingerprint sensor and so the screen usually come on already unlocked.

Can't receive calls in sim1 when data is active in sim2

vinpartyrental
The issue you're experiencing, where you can't receive calls on SIM1 when data is active on SIM2, might be related to the specific settings on your device or the limitations of your phone model. Here are some general steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:

  1. Check Network Compatibility:
    • Ensure that both SIM cards and the phone itself are compatible with the network standards in your region. Some devices might not support simultaneous voice and data on both SIM cards.
  2. SIM Card Settings:
    • Check the SIM card settings on your device. In some cases, you may find options related to data and voice preferences for each SIM card. Ensure that voice calls are allowed on SIM1 while data is active on SIM2.

Apps Visualizer initCheck failed -3 (ERROR_NO_INIT)

S
I know this is late to the thread, but I hope this can be helpful for anyone that has this issue in the future. I had this same issue with the -3 error, and figured out since RECORD_AUDIO is a dangerous (runtime) permission, I had to explicitly request access from the user. Having the RECORD_AUDIO permission in the manifest is not enough for runtime permissions, you have to explicitly ask the user for access. After being granted access by the user, I was able to use the VIsualizer without any issues.
