How do you know you have no use for it?

Obviously some app you have downloaded is requesting it, and you are missing out on whatever features that app can provide when it is allowed accessibility.

From the sound of your description, it seems to me that you are using Greenify or another app to close other apps when the screen goes off.

In order for this to function properly, you do indeed need to allow such an app accessibility.

From your homescreen (devices- and therefore pathways to these settings, and their names- may vary)...

Settings
Accessibility

Here you should see a headline of 'Services'.
These are the apps that you have downloaded that can use the accessibility service.

Below those are the built in system options that are also under the Accessibility area.

There are some neat things here, and now that you know where they are, you can explore them.

The next time you get the message (if it is Greenify, then it will appear when the screen awakens, or when you unlock the device) go into Accessibility and allow each app in turn (unless my guess is correct about it being Greenify- then just allow that), then replicate what you did before the message appeared.

Eventually you will allow the right one, and the message will cease.

Early adopter blues.

Maybe my situation and solution might give you some insight that could help...

I was very disappointed when Google to the Google Photos folder out of Google Drive. I lived with it for a while but finally got fed up. I take a photo on my phone, it automatically gets uploaded to Google Photos. I compose an email in Outlook, click the button to attach a file to the email, there's no way to attach the photo I took without going to Google Photos Website, finding the photo then downloading it first.

I solved the problem. I'm a big Google/Android person. Most people are either an Apple ecosystem person, a Google/Android person, a Microsoft person (OneDrive) or an Amazon ecosystem person. But unfortunately in this case, Google, you lost me.

I dumped Google photos last night and switched to Amazon Photos and am SO much happier. I now have my Photos syncing back to my PC like it used to be before Google shot themselves in the foot by removing the Google Photos folder from Google Drive. One intention may be to create a stronger long-term relationship as once you don't have the ability to access your photos via file folders like you can with all your other documents (PDFs, Word Processing, Spreadsheet, etc) it's not as straigtforward to move things around and organize things let alone move to another service.

Here's the trick, when you setup Amazon Photos on your PIC, it wants to set it up as a Backup, not a Sync. That's fine if you don't mind when you want to delete something you have to manually delete it both on the PC side and on the Amazon side. What I did was:

1) First downloaded all my photos from Google via Takeout. Of course Google makes their own folder structure which was fine.
2) Searched for and deleted all the json files that Google includes and the Trash folder
3) Installed Amazon Photos and after setting it up, I removed the backup folders for Pictures and Videos it created (I can't remember if you can avoid doing this at install, I think it automatically finds the folders on your PC and adds them)
4) Enable Sync in Amazon Photos and sync your Pictures folder on Amazon to wherever you want on your PC (mine ended up being D:\Amazon Drive\Pictures as I selected D:\ as the local location to sync with)
5) Copy all the folders I downloaded from Google Takeout into the D:\Amazon Drive\Pictures
6) Download the Amazon Photos app on my Android phone and turn on automatic uploads (unless you want to manually select which photos from your phone are uploaded.) What is interesting, and kind of nice, is it puts the photos from your device in it's own subfolder under Pictures. But when you view your Pictures from Amazon Photos on the Web it's just like Google Photos in that it organizes by location, date, album with robust search.

Now if I add or delete a photo on Amazon Photos via Web, via app on my phone, or via my PC, it deletes/adds the photo everywhere inlcuding the local folders on my PC. So the D:\Amazon Drive\Pictures folder is always in sync and I can easily access my photos from any Windows app directly from that folder and don't have to mess with accessing them through the Amazon Photos website and download them. I can also access my photos when I don't have an Internet connection.

Another benefit is if you need a lot of storage (which I do), their 1 TB plan is $6.99 at Amazon as opposed to $9.99 and Google. A much better solution all around. And there are other benefits too. Sorry Google, you're not the best at Photo storage anymore. Ran across this too:

Hello,

I wish to change the Samsung a40's sensitivity to step counting. I have already done this once but cannot find the setting now.
Can any one advise.

do you have samsung health? maybe it is in there.

yeah there is no dev community for your phone which means there is no root method. even if there was one, with no dev community, there will not be much to do with your phone, once rooted.

just remember no dev=no fun.

next time pick a phone that has support from developers, if you plan on rooting it.

Not sure if anything built in but the Google Phone app or Google Voice are some options

Thanks. Installing the Outlook app was th solution for me. I simply replaced Gmail and synched my POP business account in the Outlook app and it's a great solution.

All providers that own towers prioritize their own customers over the customers that use providers that are renting those towers.

If you have friends with different providers, bring them (and their phones) to where you will be using your device the most, and compare signal strength.

Or, use Wi-Fi calling if you have strong Wi-Fi service.

kindle has a pretty good read back feature. but i'm not sure if you can get text books on the kindle. what formats are these ebooks that you read?

I have been using Dingtone for years now.

First, it is free to get started.
Because you are looking to do business, your useage is different than mine, so a business number and more minutes (credits) are sure to cost more than free.

It can use Wi-Fi as a connection, so your call quality is dependent on the quality of your Wi-Fi.
(It can also use your network connection, but this will use data.)

You can have five devices all using the same number.
A tablet or a PC can be used as a phone.

This is a VoIP service, so it is independent of your carrier- you can have a Dingtone number and your cell number active on the same device at the same time.

This number works just like a normal mobile number- it can make and receive calls and texts to/from any other number.

Your calls can be forwarded to another number.

Credits are pretty cheap to purchase.
The more 'points' you earn over time, the better the deals get.
Right now, if I were to purchase credits, I get 10% more than what I paid for.

Current cost for me, as I check now, are...
200 credits for $4.99
500 credits for $10.99
1000 credits for $19.99

Keep in mind that I did not add in my 10% bonus, and I do not have a 'business account'.
As I do use it for 'business' (I was self employeed for a long time) I kept my talk time low and I have never needed to purchase anything.
I currently have over 14000 credits just from 'checking in' and watching ads, and various other ways to earn free credits.

There are 1-800 numbers available, along with other toll free options for your customers.

Count on calls costing you approximately 1 credit per minute.
(It is actually less than that, at least for me.)
Texts are 1/2 credit per text.

Thanks guys.
I don't know what was the problem but after a second format now I can install the Google applications.

I noted your feelings towards FAT file system, yes FAT16 and DOS is where it started for me and the first versions of windows needed DOS installed first, and people used Wordperfect and not Word, Quattro pro and not Excel!!!

Search Google for SnapTube - With this app you can D/L any video in .mp3, or video format. Also, it does not display ads during the videos, only one 5-sec ad at the start of the program.

NewPipe has no ads, and is open source.
It also has no Google junk with it.

I seriously doubt that Google would provide an app that allows free downloads of videos from Youtube, as they own Youtube- and it is a violation of the terms of service.

Games use a lot of power.

Your browser can as well, depending upon what browser you use and what sites you visit.

No kidding, some sites have made my phone rather hot to the touch.

Yet another reason to use an ad blocker and/or block tracking.
