Resetting My Voicemail?

Called my AT&T store and they said due to the virus, company stores are shut down. He told me to access my voice mail to reset it to push and hold "1" on my phone, but after dialing, it said "This members Voicemail is not set up; Good-bye" and hung up on me. Strange because if I accessed it w/ my older (identical) S5 it worked fine and didn't ask for a password.

I tried using a procedure I found online at a AT&T site, and dialing the voicemail number manually, it let me set up my mailbox (which was actually setup for 12 years w/ AT&T, but I wasn't about to argue), and I had to create a 7 to 12 number password now to get my voicemail, but at least it works!

Why I don't have a clue, but it's working as long as I enter the numerical password I set up.

Galaxy S9 making random notifications

hmmm nice app. i'm gonna have to give that a spin thanx
You're welcome! :)

It's very handy, and much nicer than some other ways of getting the same end result. For example, you can set your own limit for how many alerts to keep--a lot or a little, it's up to you. Other methods just arbitrarily scroll off after a very small number of alerts. You can select what types of alerts to ignore, such as recurring system calls that you generally wouldn't care about, and so on.

The best part is that you can go back to a notification you wanted to follow again, or when your swiping hand is a little too quick on the trigger, and you dismiss an alert you really should've pressed! :D

Tesla Navigation Shortcut

I can't test this, but the first thing that came to mind is to use Tasker.
i'm not sure if taskers can do that, but it might be possible.

you would think that door dash would have something like that built in to their app for those that deliver for door dash.

and i just want to give a shout out to you and show my appreciation. Folks like you who are feeding people during the pandemic are amazing. you are risking you and your family's health to feed others is very commendable. i understand like everyone you need a paycheck, but to still go out is risky right now......so thank you.

Help Why does my screen display spontaneously turns black then turns back to normal after a while?

well your phone is not water resistant so i'm not surprised it is acting odd. you can try a hard reset. if it is still acting up, then you might be SOL on the phone. either learn to live with it or get a new phone. this is why i always get insurance. i'm such a clutz that i know there is a good chance something bad will happen to my phone.

G'zGear

I do think that NEC or Casio makes this app.
actually they do:
https://www.phonescoop.com/articles/article.php?a=12663&p=5726
it is added software that is only exclusive to the casio phone. there is nothing on the web that says that it was developed by a different company.

not sure why this matters now as the gzone came out in 2011 and this thread was started in 2012.

FOLLOWUP: It came... Back?

You can get older versions of 'Password Manager - Keeper' from the apkmirror site:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/keeper-security-inc/keeper-password-manager/
It's supposed to be legitimate source for APK files, always important to be wary when installing any downloaded content:
https://www.apkmirror.com/faq/

The Google Play page for this app indicates its cutoff for support is ver. 5 (Lollipop). If you're running such a dated version of Android you need to be extra vigilant about doing something like side-loading apps.

Bricked Moto G4 play

In the event you were trying to flash a ROM for a different model, hopefully you just soft-bricked your phone. Flash it again but be sure to use a ROM that matches your specific model of G4 Play, and that 'should' restore it back into working condition. Don't use a ROM that's for a different phone model, they're not interchangeable.
If however you hard-bricked your phone that could be a real problem. In that case you might want to just take it to a local service shop to have a trained tech person look into it.

CAT survey

Do I receive money if I participate in this survey? I'm pretty obsessed with taking online surveys. I've recently discovered an article which offers a guide to become a survey taker so that you can easily get paid to take surveys. There are described the best companies which seem to be the most reliable offering taking surveys for money. I thought it would be actually gainful and I could receive extra money to buy a new smartphone. So, I chose Pinecone Research as it was claimed to be an exclusive company to join. I've already purchased a new phone, however I'm still working there. Try to check it!
