Retrieve/Recover

If you used the Google option to save your pictures to Google Photo's or use Google Drive for other files... then use another computer and log into your Google account. Then anything you saved to those Google account features will be available to copy to any kind or drive you may already own.

The same could be true if you used other cloud based storage options ( Onedrive or some other one )... but you'll need to log into that account using the username/password you'd made for those accounts.

There are no free options to repair anything broken that I'm aware of.

no more "ALL" posts function, how come?

so i just want to know, was this change intentional?
I believe that's up to @Rob, us mods can't make those changes.

After some digging I was able to find a search link that sorts all threads by new replies that you can use while the current "New" option doesn't work:
https://androidforums.com/find-new/posts
^^^ If you bookmark this link, bookmark it exactly as is.

It only shows unread new threads though, not all new. Hope you like that more :)

How users can only see their own data in Cloud Firestore?

I'm building an app with Kotlin. In the app, the user can sign up and log in. After the user log in, the user adds some text and pictures, and these data is successfully added to the firebase cloud store and displayed in the app as a list. However, this list can be accessed by anyone registered on the app.

What I want to do is how users can only see their own data. So I don't want users to see each other's data. I just want every user to see their own added data. I think that I need to change Firebase Cloud Strore rules but How?.

I'm new about this, Thank you !

This is Cloud Firestore Rules;

Code:
rules_version = '2';
service cloud.firestore {
  match /databases/{database}/documents {
   match/Notes/{noteId}{
   allow read, write: if request.auth.uid != null ;
  
       }
   }
}

and this is my cloud firestore ;

Moving/force-installing apps onto the SD card?

The ability to force apps to sd does require a rooted device. Once rooted, an app can be used to force move apps to sd.
Gotcha. I thought so. I've made a decision not to root for now - lack of leisure time for exploring for fun, unless there's pressing need...

As part of rooting, you install a management client like Magisk — SuperSU used to be the top option but has fallen into disrepair. These tools are basically the gatekeeper of root access on your phone.
... but thanks for the titbits of info about rooting. I know I'll be going there sooner or later :)

Phone will NOT charge at all, sleeping issues

Because of your accompanying screen issue, this post is of no value except as an insight into what an exciting life I lead :p

I had my 1 year old Nokia repaired under warranty (very efficiently) because of the fiddling to hold the cable at an exact position.
I had learned through Nokia forums it was a known issue with the charging port on mine and one or two other models where the port internally warped / expanded or loosened due to poor material etc.
As soon as I mentioned to Nokia Chat support it seemed a known issue there were no more questions and they were terrific.

This was also my first usb-c phone and I wasn't pleased, and never understood the need to replace the shape because some found putting the cable in one way was too much pfaff.

I saw 2 videos where both the port and a charging board were replaced, but I didn't need to resort to that.

It sounds like your port expanded or warped in some way.
When I was having the issue I could bring up the full screen battery icon in Settings - Battery and if it turned Blue and said Charging it was charging in that position. If the home screen showed it was charging but the battery icon was white on the battery screen it wasn't charging, so the home screen / notification bar was lying :mad:

I admire that you are young but want to keep using what you have.

It does sound like a motherboard problem as the previous posters said, but maybe something is still repairable or salvageable.

Google Contacts or phone Contacts

Thanks, I did that. So I assume I can't get rid of the Samsung Contacts app and that the Phone app has to use it? If I need to update or add a contact should I do it through the Google Contacts then sync the Samsung Contacts?
If you use the Samsung Phone app then the Samsung contacts app is used to read the database of contacts on your phone. But, you can use third party phone apps which use other software to read the phone contacts eg I use "Drupe" (from playstore) and never actually open the Samsung Phone or Contacts apps. There are, as always, many options.

If you have followed the sync suggestion above and turned on sync for each account, you should not need to go back and sync manually - it should be automatic.

No internet on wifi or data

How exactly would I install this with no way to transfer data to or from phone?



Possible workaround. Seems bluetooth still works

Well according to your on words "
Possible workaround. Seems bluetooth still works." and Bluetooth is a method of transferring data. You ask how, install the app I recommend on your new phone and use it to transfer the same app "Bluethooth Sender" to your old phone. The use bluethooth sender from your old phone to transfer data to your new phone.

Thats how you transfer data by means of bluethooth.


You could try booting into safe mode and check your wifi.
