Delete "suggested person" when sharing

First, I do use Android devices, just not Samsung ones.

Second, I do not source news from Google.

Third, if it is E-Mail contacts that are coming up, then it is your e-mail app that is providing the pop-ups.
Look inside that app for share options inside of the settings.

Example:

Let's say that you want to share any given article onto your Facebook account.

In your browser, there should be a share option.
In the browser, bot the news article itself.
Select this, and look for the option 'Copy To Clipboard'.
Select that, and then open your Facebook app (or a wrapper app, as I do) and then long press the area where you would post something.
The 'Paste' option should appear- select it.
Your news article should now appear, and you can post it.

Maybe this is a few more steps than just using the links provided with the news stories, but as you can see, those links are often problematic.

I had so much trouble with those type links that I refuse to even acknowlege that they exist unless someone else has problems with them too and needs tofind a way around them.

There are a few browsers that are very secure and very fast, that are so much better than what is stock on Android.
If you have trouble finding the 'share' feature in your browser, I would suggest Lightning, FOSS Browser, or Smart Cookie (all are on F-Droid) as excellent third party browsers that fast, simple, and secure.

They all rely upon an app called Android System Webview, which is a built in app on Android devices.

Thank you for taking the time to respond.
#1. I am not looking for a workaround, I am looking to delete a "suggested person."
#2. The contact cannot be found in Outlook or Gmail.
#3. After searching the Internet, no solution yet.

Frp bypass

Recently bought Revvl and the previous owner factory reset it and now I'm unable to get past the frp. previous owner had also completely disappeared and wont answer calls or texts. Please help
You probably mean that it was hard reset. If it was factory reset done from within the phone, frp would not have been tripped. If frp was tripped then there is not much you can do at this point. Make this one a lesson learned. There are some software out there that claim to be able to bypass FRP, but I think most are scams..... so be careful.

Plus unfortunately, discussing how to bypass FRP is frowned upon here in AF.

This is why I always preach when buying a used phone, that you meet the person in the flesh. and do it at a carrier store so that if there are any issues, the carrier can fix it right away.

Need Help Setting Up Play Store on Chinese Phone

If you cannot install GApps, then I would suggest just going with the browser route.

Lightning is an excellent browser (F-Droid) and has Google as a homepage already. (I recommend changing this if you are going to use the browser. You can save the Google page as a bookmark to use later.)

Simply touch the icon cluster on the Google homescreen to access the web versions of Google apps.

Note 5 Low Battery Capacity Reported in Accubattery

I know this is an old thread. Just wanted to add that I had the same experience as the op. 2 replacement batteries from a somewhat reputable dealer who also didn't think he a bad batch and I was the only person complaining. I think he's lying and selling cheap defective batteries to the less tech savvy crowd. I just figured maybe accubattery want accurate. But I got another second hand note 5 and the battery life is similar to the replacement battery

Help Lost voice to text

I installed and configured the "Hacker's Keyboatd" as suggested, and now have the voice typing microphone on the keyboard, thank you.
You're welcome. :)

Now that you're using Hacker's, be sure to explore its settings. You can make it look, feel and sound the way you like.

This is how I've configured my current look. First, the standard keyboard:

and then the extended keyboard, which you switch to via its [Fn] key:

HackersKeyboard_2.jpg


The whole idea behind Hacker's is to replicate a real, computer keyboard as closely as possible.
I just wish I understood what happened to the GBoard keyboard
I hear you. It's frustrating when you don't know what happened when something gets messed up.

You can easily switch back and forth from Hacker's to Gboard--you should see a tiny keyboard icon at the bottom of your screen, next to Android's standard navigation buttons; use that to choose from a list of installed keyboards.

You can safely play with Gboard's settings until you find the problem, just for the fun of it or if you prefer it to Hacker's.

Ordered replacement spen how do I synch with tablet?

When I try to use it it doesn't get Irecognized so guessing I need to synch it somehow?
Also i ordered it from eBay and it doesn't seem like it fits exactly right but figured it will still work ok, could that be a problem though?
A spen only works if its its end if your tablet has a spen slot you will need to insert the spen into your tablet and it should sync automatically, also the best place to get a replacement spen is from samsung themselves to avoid getting scammed

Help The "USB Connected" notification stays on after the USB is disconnected

9 years later, I had the same problem. XPhoneGuy saved me. I just used a spray to clean electric contact and my Galaxy M30 is working normally again.


I had the same problem as everyone else in this thread. My phone worked fine for two months. One day I was wearing a nasty imitation leather jacket and had the phone in my shirt pocket. It got kind of hot where I was and it got "steamy" inside that jacket before I took it off. The next time I looked at my phone it was doing the "USB Connected" dance. I tried power cycling and couldn't get the phone to power up, just got the grey battery symbol.

I tried a variety of things to fix this with marginal success. When I returned home I got the connector under a microscope and saw that there was some crud in the connector:

USB_Dirty.jpg


You really couldn't see it with the naked eye, you need at least 10 to 20X magnification and a good light source to see it. I turned off the phone, took out the battery, and squirted some canned air ("Dust Off") in the connector and blew a lot of that stuff out. However, there still was some dirt on the contacts. I took a small piece of coffee filter paper, wrapped it around the end of a small twist tie, soaked it in isopropyl alcohol, and swabbed out the connector. Here's the clean connector:

USB_Clean.jpg


You need to be very careful about sticking things in the connector. The little tab that holds the contacts is fragile.

I powered the phone back up and it no longer displays the "USB Connected" message. It works correctly when I really do plug in a USB cable, too.

Why does this fix the problem? Well, I used to design cell phones, and I know a thing or two about the external connectors on phones. The phone has to have some way of detecting that something has been plugged into the connector. Micro USB connectors do not have a mechanical switch to detect the presence of a plug in the socket. If these connectors work the way USB OTG (On-The-Go) connectors work, there is a resistor in the cable between two of the pins. The phone attempts to pass a small amount of current through that resistor to detect the presence of the cable. When there is debris in the connector, like cotton fuzz from clothing, tiny bits of soap from washing, and tiny flakes of dead skin, and you add humidity from perspiration or rain, etc. you create little blobs of slightly conductive goo that can bridge the gap between the pins. That blob of goo looks just like a resistor to the electronics in the phone. So the phone thinks there's always something plugged into the connector. Why have some people been able to fix the problem with settings then? I suspect that they found settings that cause the phone to stop checking for a USB cable or to ignore the signal that tells the OS that something is plugged in.

I'd like to hear whether this solves the problem for others. While we're at it, does anyone know what those two extra contacts way at the back of the connector are for? Those aren't standard USB pins. I suspect they are used in manufacturing test.

Now if Verizon would only release Froyo for this phone...

App Inventor Where to write the keytool command

Where to write the keytool command
Hallo friends
I finished my App using Mit App Inventor and ready to load to Google Play.
To do that I run Generete Sign Bundle into "Anroid Studio" ad obtained the file app-release.aab.
Sent to google Play I got error becouse of the SHA1... key in GPlay do not mutch with mine.
After contact GPlay support I got following answer:

generate a new key:
keytool -genkeypair -alias upload -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 9125 -keystore keystore.jks
then: Export the certificate for that key to PEM format:
keytool -export -rfc -alias upload -file upload_certificate.pem -keystore keystore.jks

But as far as for me Android Studio is really new, I do not know where to place such command line and activate.
Any help will be appreciated
thanksfor your patienze

Calls

Making a call will generally mute the music.

If you can set your music app to not mute (generally not considered a good feature) it will be playing through the speaker, not transmitting it to the caller/callee. Of course the other person might hear some of it as background noise, but it wouldn't be high quality (though it probably wouldn't be anyway: a voice call will probably have more compression than the music to start with).

In short, I don't know a way and if you could the quality would be crap.
