Help Video file showing at top of Gallery app

I have video files showing up at the top of the gallery with a date 6th Feb 6, 2036

Do you recognize these videos? When you play them, are they videos that you downloaded or otherwise saved?

As for how/why they're displaying at the top of your gallery, that's due to its settings. However you've set your gallery app to sort files is how it will sort files.

Please tell us the name of your gallery app--linking to its Play Store page would be helpful--and post a screenshot of the videos listed in your gallery, so we can -see- how they're named.

If you need help with any of that, just let us know!

Notification dot?

MoodyBlues
Welcome to Android Forums, Kelly Tolbert!
Where is this dot located if it is turned on?
Click to expand...
I've never seen them myself, because of how I've configured my launcher. But they should appear on an app's icon. So, I -think- that means icons on your home screens and maybe(?) in your app drawer. They're a little bubble, and can contain the number of notifications you have waiting for each app.

Hopefully, someone who uses them will post a screenshot--and correct anything I've misstated! :D

Codename C.U.B.E

Heres a link to the game
I have been working on a 3D bullet hell game for almost a year now and finally, it's ready to be released. The game was made in Unity and features two modes. Endless adventure and Boss Rush Mode where your best time is recorded. The game is very accessible and fun to play. The game is free and features no ads. Here's a look at some gameplay to get a sense of the game plays.

Help No longer have access to Google account

svim said:
If you look in your Settings >> Accounts >> Google menu that will show the Gmail address your phone is set up as its primary I.D. Things like your Contacts and Calendar will sync with that online Google account. Your email app (or apps if you use more than one) will tend to default to that primary Google account but not exclusively so any email app being just its own email client can be re-configured to use any email service as necessary. But getting back to your original posting, if you've lost access to that original Gmail account and that's what your phone was originally set up to use, you need to go into that Settings >> Accounts >> Google menu, add your personal Google account and remove the old one. This probably won't be a seamless change though so be sure to back up all your data and files. It's a matter of changing user accounts so it's not trivial.

Once you do change your phone over to your own Google account, than things like the Play Store will be tied to your account..

Thanks for your response.

I'm going to have to be pretty careful about this. I think my google authenticator is linked to the gmail account I can't access. I have backup codes written down for some things, but not all. Going to look into how to backup everything without actually having any access to the e-mail it's linked to. Indeed it does not seem trivial.

How do I transfer playlists from windows to android?

Yeh, many Android music players can use M3U as well as PLS.

Can you confirm if your Windows software is actually transferring the M3U playlists along with the songs to your Note 10+?

I got an Android update last night and that fixed the syncing issues I was having. I think that with this second update so close to the previous one that it was an issue with the update.
To answer your question; yes it was syncing the playlists but they were showing up as empty playlists on my phone.

Lock screen notifications

I have a Galaxy S9 and I have looked everywhere to find out how to get notifications when my phone is locked. For example I have a ring doorbell and if the phone is locked I get a sound notification but I can't see who is there. If my phone is unlocked I can open the app and see who was there it used to work when the phone was locked.
Click to expand...
if the ring app used to work on a locked screen before, then it might have been an update that caused it to not work. you may have to contact the developer and see if there is a work around or not. or you may have to wait for a further update that will hopefully fix it.

Welcome to Android Forums, peteroogle! :)

I'm afraid that your posts have me a little confused. :thinking:

Can you break down exactly what problem(s) you're having, and how the stick fits in to the picture? The more specific, the better!

Help How can I upgrade the RAM on my Android device?

Xavier Black
Actually if your phone has an external sd card supported..you can increase it by the swap method..of course, you will always find detractors in life for every move you do..and there will always be people that say that doesn't work..but this method is proven to work..it's improved my Note4..

So in the swap method..if you decided to go through that..don't do neither the Fat32 nor the Ext4..just the Swap..add just 1gb of RAM..you'll notice the big difference..

Say thanks to @MrJavi..by the way
