On some (all of mine, anyway) devices, there is a setting somewhere in the Battery section of Settings that allows the user to allow the power saver mode to automatically engage at a certain battery level, like 15% or thereabout.

This (on mine) automatically is disabled when the device is connected to a charger, so in that case the setting would be off- but when off the charger the setting will be on.

This can also cause confusion.

Glad to have been of some help.

I could not find that particular setting... But good to know, thank you!

Hello again - may I ask another question please? I have now set up my G Mail on my Xperia and it works ok. I have set up a different notification tone since this forum showed me how and that is now ok but I can not understand thi problem..

When i receive an email and I look at it that is fine - however I keep getting bleeps for a new email maybe 3 or 4 times over an hour and when I open the mail it is the same email repeated with the original time of receiving it!

When I receive emails on my laptop they only appears once.

Is it perhaps because I read it but do not save it to a particular folder as I do on my laptop? Any ideas please.

Thank you all again

You need to distinguish apps have different functions and different purposes. An app that only does a singular task will only require it to be running in memory when needed. If it remains partially loaded into memory is a complete nonissue, but the fact is until you actually launch the app it's inert -- it is taking up storage memory space but not RAM. An app like an email client however will need to be running in memory when you are actually using it but in the background to periodically poll your email service's online servers. (and note a lot of email client apps do have settings so they won't check for new messages but that's another issue.) An app that's by design is required to run in the background is different than one that isn't, you can't lump all of them together just out of convenience to make some point.

Windows kept only system executable application in memory at all times, the Android version loads every application in my phone into RAM and even with the 4gb RAM and 32GB ROM the phone keeps slowing to a worse than 1gb RAM phone.

Happening now on my new Android phone and tablet.

Essentially it's the programming language syntax for memory use while executing the program in Windows or Application in Android which makes a difference.

If the memory use at the programming is lousy written it then sets the CPU central processing unit, into a loop , this slows down the phone or tablet PC significantly.

So if this occurred in a Windows computer it soon became obvious this was a bad written program and was uninstalled. However with all the apps loaded on startup in Android, even one poorly programmed app seems to be messing around with the operation of RAM, looping or constantly calling, as known in programming, to different modules inside the application programming code compilation. With 52 apps on the phone all in executive mode, it's a frustrating nuisance in slowing down the phone, and difficult to know which application is causing the issue.

My memory boost app, often clears up to four hundred or more Megabytes RAM application hogs.

One solution is Remove any unnecessary applications, Or if a sudden slowing occurred after a recent new Android application is installed try delete it immediately and see if the phone speed has improvement. Most applications are well written but not all applications. A way to get info is to see reviews before installing. If there is loads of complaints about slow process it could be a indicated problem, if millions of people have downloaded it then probably works well.

For rooting your device, I recommend you use the kingroot app. It is one click root app. With this application, you can root your device easily without using any PC...

Click to expand...

i would only recommend kingo root if it is the only way to root the device. if there other ways to do it, i always recommend that you do it, the harder way. this way you get to learn skills you would not have learned thru a simple app. plus if something goes wrong anything that you learned could help you troubleshoot the device fairly easily.

plus kingo root has the potential of installing adware. and kingo root can only root phones up to android 4.3....i think. the op has a tab A which is on android 8 so kingo root will not work on the tablet.

I'm sticking with stock Dark Mode until Synergy/Substratum Lite improves as every dark theme I have tried from there leaves me with a zebra crossing blac/white notification dropdown.

It will get there.

Now I just need to find a worthy launcher equivalent to Next Launcher. Nova is great but doesn't allow individual Icon changes. New topic time,

Lol cheers.

Welcome to Android Forums, pbankuti!

I'm sorry no one's offered any suggestions yet...maybe your question threw everyone off.

I have no personal experience with this app, but I'm recommending it based on great comments about the developer's apps I've read from members I trust: Simple Calendar Pro. Please note that there is a free version, but it's no longer supported.

From its description, I think it may work for you, but no guarantees!

Roll the dice...

what i mean is that it shows security as none. i'm backing up on google drive but under device settings on Google drive backup under my phone it says backup includes device configuration such as wallpaper, wifi passwords and default apps. is this true

Different carriers rely upon different cellular networks so there are compatibility issues to take into account, especially here in the U.S. where we have very territorial, highly competitive carriers that are more focused on profit and their respective market shares than their customers.

You referred to buying an 'unlocked' model but keep in mind there's a difference between the boot loader unlocked and carrier unlocked.
https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-difference-between-carrier-unlocking-and-unlocking-a-bootloader
This phone is apparently a branded (Sprint) phone so its internal hardware configuration, specifically the cellular radio chip, is going to be fully compatible with Sprint's cellular network but it may or may not be the same with AT&T's cellular network. Keep in mind that ROMs are very device specific so if you flashed this phone with a ROM for a different model you need to re-flash with the correct ROM. Each ROM is created to match each model's hardware configuration, and each model has its own unique hardware components inside -- i.e. different processors, audio chips, radio chips, etc. Each ROM contains only the drivers, firmware, software to match with the hardware so using a different ROM is going to result in a mismatch of software and hardware. Simply flashing a different ROM, nor using a different SIM, will change a branded phone from one carrier to a different one -- in this instance the hardware
Sprint has moved more towards 4G/LTE so that's good for compatibility, but at the same time T-Mobile has recently bought it out so Sprint-specific phones are going to become obsolete in the near future.

I am looking at this products just want to change my old HP, it looks very good. any thoughts?

I really don't think followers mean much, tbh.

I don't even pay attention to, or use, the 'follow' feature here. I don't know why, exactly, but it's just unnecessary for me here, whereas on Twitter it's very important.

I think it's because of the way I use AF. I have my list of favorites, and use it to hop from board to board that I'm interested in. I rarely vary from that, only occasionally popping in on a different board for some reason. The people I would 'follow' always show up in my boards...so why follow them?

Billybronco said:

Yes I tried your instructions and it didn't work. Once my phone updated so many things changed and now I have to learn new ways of doing things.

Click to expand...

Okay. As I pointed out, your path may vary, but should be similar to:

System Settings | Apps & notifications | App info | [your app] | App notifications

Start in System Settings. From there, see if you can find something resembling 'app notifications' or just 'notifications.' If you can't...there's something very wrong! I know updates change some things, but eliminating one of Android's built-in features would be a new one on me!

If you want, post screenshots of your system settings. Maybe seeing them would help sort this out.

I found something that had no name, uninstalled it, restarted phone and I think it took care of that popup!
Now to switch cards and test the wifi out! Got to stay more on top of these issues. I rarely used the phone online before, only other issues that I dislike is that if you dont update apps... things start to go haywire!
Question, anyone install Linux on Note3? Or do you recommend another OS? I like to have more control over my phone, mini pc...!

THIS!

This happened to me, as well.

I went so far as to duplicate how I found it, where it was located, and how to delete data vefore uninstalling it.

You would be amazed how many people do an entire factory reset just because of what you did instead.

The force is strong with you.

Well talk about way off topic. Man you have some crazy ideas!!!!!!!!

Back on topic....you are right, mayor Pete would have made a great president. But like I said anything is better then what we have now.

Wondering if anyone has any idea when the new LG G pad tablet will get android 10? It has Android 9 now, and I have not used android in years because I couldn't stand gingerbread version and switched to iOS for my phone and tablet, only got this LG gpad the other day since my iPad pro needs to be repaired, AND the Apple store is closed in Chicago, but I have to say android 9 is very good AND it would be interesting to see if 10 is an improvement or not. I will probably never get an android phone again since i love my iPhone but i do not regret getting this tablet at all, it's a nice size, 10.2 inches, beautiful display, good audio, and seems really fast... Only had it since Saturday though so hopefully my opinion of it doesn't change. Just wish it could sync with the iPhone for sms text messages.

I have been watching Felix the cat on twitter recently, and I used to watch it when it was on before Scooby Doo on Sat. mornings.
Glad you folks pulled it out of the air.

Hi all,

I have a Linx 1010B tablet which originally shipped with windows 10. It got quite slow so I decided to install android 9.0 on it (I tried android 7 and 8 as well which didn't resolve the problem I am about to describe).

I am having real problems with the apps. I try to install them, and sometimes apps don't install. I then have to re-install, and usually get a cap at around 8 apps, then the app store gets stuck on 'downloading', '95/99%' or 'installing' and just stays there. I don't know why this is the case and I have reinstalled android about 11 times, trying different versions and settings.

My further problem comes when I manage to download some apps, some work, and others don't. The main one I am interested in is amazon's kindle (so I can read like a tablet), but have a real problem in getting it to work. I have never gotten past the loading screen and it just crashes, in every install. There are a few other apps which just won't open either, and I am not sure if it is a conflict with my device settings or if there is anything I need to change in settings anywhere.

I tried downloading the amazon appstore to install the amazon apps via apk but even that keeps crashing at log screen and won't let me through.

Can anyone help or point me in a direction where I can resolve this issue?

These are my tablet's specs:

• Intel Atom Quad Core Z3735F up to 1.83 GHz processor
• 2GB LPDDR3
• 10.1-inch 16:9 IPS HD (1280 x 800) with 10 point multi-touchscreen
• Integrated Intel HD Graphics
• 32GB eMMC storage

Thanks.

Thanks guys;
The LG Fiesta 2 has 2GB RAM (of which 1.5GB is available), and 16GB internal storage (of which 9.8GB is available).
I have not run out of memory or storage. I have a 128GB SD card installed, which I use for all storage (so long as the app allows it).

I would try safe mode, except that if it prevents my audiobook and music apps from running, there is no point in my using the phone. Those are pretty much the two main apps I use.
I don't do any social network apps, don't take many photos. I do use the Google mapping app with GPS.

Since I posted last night, I had another thought: I think I moved some apps to the SD card to free up space on internal storage. I have read that some apps don't like that, so I will move everything back to internal. If that doesn't help, I will try safe mode, but I'll have to use the built-in music player if Poweramp doesn't run in safe mode.

I am leaning towards buying a new phone anyway, but I would like to at least try to fix this one, as it is still performing pretty well (aside from the erratic behaviour). Battery life is still very good - considering the phone is 2yrs old.

Edit: I suppose that a bad connection on the headphone plug could effectively confuse the phone's circuitry into 'thinking' it is receiving signals from the buttons on a wired remote. It looks like that circuit is a very simple DC type that is expecting a specific voltage or current for each button.
While I have been using DeOxit to clean the contacts of my headphone plug and jack, it is still possible there is a bad connection.

If you still have your old phone then just go to /system/media/audio.
Ringtones and Notifications are in there. Punt them up to dropbox and Job's a goodun.
I still have my Note 8.
