WHAT may do that? :thinking:

I was very careful to note that some approaches "...may add duplicate records..." So I'm curious what you're referring to.

If you had quoted what you were referring to, maybe I wouldn't be confused! :)

I was just relating a personal experience I had a while back when using a transfer app.

It's been a while, so I don't remember which app it was.

Motorola Razr not showing Verizon Messenger Notifications

G
Hello.

I just got the Razr. On the lock screen it will show text notifications from my other apps like whats-app, blackberry enterprise messenger, gmail, and viber. But for some reason the little icon for the Verizon Messenger will not show up when I receive a text and when I open the phone there is no notification on the lock screen. Only after I unlock the phone do I see that I have a message.

But after a restart or power cycle it will show up on the first message I get before I open to check. Then once again the same issue as stated above.

Any Ideas?

Best Dark Sky Alternatives for Android

Trom
Rob said:
If you haven't already heard, Dark Sky is shutting down. I know, I know- we're sad, too. That's why to ease the pain we've created this list of Dark Sky Android alternatives so that you can best fill that gaping hole in your cloud-shaped heart.

View attachment 149107

IMPORTANT NOTE: Dark Sky will be shutting down in July 31st but many apps and services (including the apps below) use the Dark Sky API for their own weather data. Dark Sky has committed to keeping their API up and running until the end of 2021.

Meteogram Weather Widget (Free / Pro)
The Swiss-Army Knife of Weather Widgets. This is an advanced widget with tons and tons of customization and visualization options. This is for advanced users who want much more than a download and done app. If you want something you can adjust and tweak to your heart's content- look no further.

Windy (Free)
Beautiful Weather App with fantastic widgets

Yr (Free)
Relatively less popular but similar in style to Dark Sky with great reviews

1Weather (Free)
Editor's Choice in Google Play Store and a household favorite

WeaWow (Free)
Widgets with both hourly and Daily forecasts

MyRadar (Free/Pro)
If you mainly just care about radar this is the way to go

Today Weather (Free)
Another all-around favorite and Google Play Editor's Choice

Appy Weather (Free)
The most personal and fun weather app (but not the most accurate)


CARROT Weather (Free)
Comic relief with a weather app. Choose your political affiliation in the settings and the app will make fun of you no matter who you support.

What's your suggested Dark Sky Alternative?
Click to expand...

MyRadar has a bar at the top which shows current conditions at whatever is centered on screen, but that can be pulled down to expand to forecast and other information, a feature that they could do better to make obvious. Also, "weather underground" is a very good weather app.

A Rather Complex Problem

kstehling79 said:
I'm am pleased to say that my stubbornness paid off. Two days ago I got my tablet to start. And today it's back up and running LiquidRemix with Android 9 with no problems. It's actually running better than before. I'm not positive what exactly it was that worked, but I'll explain everything I did and hopefully someone can get some use out of it.
I first plugged it back into my PC running Windows 10, used Odin 3.13.1 and tried flashing TWRP. Again got all the same errors. Not sure if an OS was even still on the device and double checked Device Manager. The drivers that had been in place looked like the ones previously installed but showed that the devices were not running correctly. I uninstalled everything relating to Samsung that I could find on my PC. Drivers, SmartSwitch, Kies etc.
After downloading new drivers I plugged my tab back into the same USB port but with a different cable (not stock) and let windows detect and install the recommended drivers.
Out of curiosity I started heimdall frontend and was able to get my tab recognized and extracted the PIT file successfully! After that I started Odin and flashed TWRP and got the green "Passed!" mark for the first time since I broke it. From there I was able to flash the most recent FW (Oreo 8.1) and after a few little hiccups she started up good as new. After that, rooted with Magisk, flashed a few ROMs before settling on LiquidRemix and then put on a few mods from Magisk.
I can't say of it was the cord, drivers, or just lucked out but this is what ended up working for me. Figures that the new one will be delivered tomorrow. At least I'll have a back up. LOL

Bro i need your help. I had same problem. But i could not find pit file and appropiate twrp . Could you help me out? Please....

Developer Options can't access frustrated please help

The majority of the threads that I have read would agree with you, that you cannot retrieve stored Wi-Fi passwords without root, however I have a thread bookmarked where one user explicity explains how to do it with usb debugging and adb set to root access. I cannot speak to whether it works or not, but I was willing to give it a shot. Still haven't figured out my developer options issue though. :(
Click to expand...

I am veing to feel your frustration. The lack of info pertaining to your specific device, firmware and developer options doesn't provide useful results. I hope your not locked on a higher aboot (fused version) which will prevent downgrading. I'm not even sure if downgrading will solve the issue. Googling doesn't provide the answers. Factor rest is a pain in the ..... If you try it just remember your Google password if you do since youll face FRP lock upon reboot. I do remember one of my Sammy's had a knox in setting that asked permission to prevent root or unauthorized modification in the phone settings. :(

I have this phone. I was so frustrated that my friend could not hear me but I could hear her. I finally found out why. It seems if you put the phone near your ear it hits the mute button. I tried several times with the same result. would put the phone to my ear. she can't hear me.. pulled it away.. and yep... mic was muted.. I've decided you can't let it touch you when you're talking. It does all sorts of strange things. I use it on speaker now whenever I can. Very frustrating!!!

This happens to me as well.
But in reality, it is better to not have the phone touching your head while in use, and even better to hold it away from you and use the speakerphone.
