Hello Leah.

Police are correct when they said they cant do much with an IP address. However they didn't tell you that they could easily approach the ISP and ask them details about the IP address and to whom it was assigned. Provided the IP is not masked or the user is not using VPN.

If you haven't found out the IP address yet, refer to this guide:
http://www.hacker9.com/find-ip-address-fake-facebook-account.html

In the above guide, just follow the steps provided by the author and once you get the IP, Check the tracking part in the same article.

remember when you get the IP address of the user, It will also mention which phone or computer he is using and also carrier information. This becomes very easy when the culprit is one of your friends of family member as you can easily guess who is using that phone.

Hope this helps.

This update looks good.

Should be in the Download folder in the virtual Android device. Usually Android downloads do go to the Download folder.

Try some ways:
- Check which apps are draining your battery
- Uninstall apps
- Never manually close apps
- Remove unnecessary widgets from the home screen
- Turn on Airplane Mode in low-signal areas
- Go Airplane Mode at bedtime
- Turn off notifications
- Don’t let apps wake your screen
- Turn off GPS when not in use
- Check app location tracking
- Enable Battery Saver Mode
- Decrease screen timeout
- Charge between 40% and 80%
- Get a certified or original charger
- Restart your phone
- Try a factory reset
If you try all but the battery keeps draining abnormally, absolutely you should replace your battery.

Controversial 'shock jock' Don Imus, of Imus in the Morning, has died at 79.

Here's a very informative article that did a lot to jog my memory on why he was so controversial.

Condolences to his family and friends.

I only listen to him once or twice when he was on the air, the other day some station in Nevada was playing an older show of his it was around 2am

In what?

First, get the common, but incorrect, idea of 'hacker' out of your head. This article may help, as it explains what the word actually means--and it's not malicious.

Being able to do that and actually doing it are very different things. As are hacking for recreational purposes, and cracking with devious intent.

As for the keyboard, my interest in it is far from new--I've used it forever [in Android time]. And although its name leads to misinterpretation, it's really just an excellent, full keyboard, intended for heavy users of computer keyboards who want their same functionality on Android.

Hello!! Just got a new Huawei P30 Pro (live in Spain) and am not getting alerts on my Yahoo Mail app when I receive a Yahoo email. I have been to a lot of forums and have tried everything, including the suggestions in the above comments. My phone (Android 9/EMUI 9.1.0) is in Performance Mode and not in Power/Ultra Power Saving Mode. In 'Battery Optimization', Yahoo Mail is set to 'Not Allowed'. All notifications are ON in both the Android apps settings for Yahoo Mail and inside the Yahoo Mail app itself. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app. I have 'Restarted' the phone itself numerable times. I have force stopped the app and cleared cache inside the app. When I started setting up the phone, I did not restore from a previous device. It was a fresh, clean 'install'. Both Android and EMUI are up to date. All apps from Google Play are up to date. I don't know what else to do. Anyone have any ideas? Thank you.

Hello everyone,

When I start an emulator with Android Studio, I got the error saying that "ANDROID SDK ROOT variable isn't set".

After some days looking on how to solve this error, I still got it.

Here's what I tried:

• Uninstall & reinstall Android Studio
• Create the environment variables ANDROID_SDK_ROOT and ANDROID_SDK_HOME and set it to the SDK directory
• Checking the SDK Tool to get the right location
• Checking the tools installed (SDK Tools, SDK Platform Tools, Emulator)
• Put the SDK directory to the root of C:
• Updating the PATH environment variable, and adding "platform-tools" and "platforms" folder address to it

It looks like I've tested everyhting, but nothing works.
I have done nothing special to get this error, it "spawned" from nowhere.

The next step is installing Android Studio on a virtual machine and check if it works.

If anyone got any solution, that would be great.

Thanks

I can staz?
Nos costodimus!

I have a Bixby routine that turns on the Android Auto app whenever my phone hooks up to my car's Bluetooth. That works great.

But I want Bixby to turn off Android Auto when the connection is broken (i.e. when I get out of the car).

I can't find a way to use loss-of-Bluetooth-connection as an "If", nor can I see how to get Bixby to exit the Android Auto app.

Help?

I really don't see any problems here, other than not being clear how the process works with pre-paid phones. Let me see if I can take this on issue at a time.

What does the word (REFILL) mean? To me it means if i buy a soda and drink it all in order to get more soda i must get a (REFILLL).

With pre-paid phone you are pretty much paying a nominal fee for a low-end communication device and then "filling" it with minutes and data. You didn't specify which $40 plan you went with but looking at T-Mobile's website they give you an unlimited text and voice option with 10GB data for that price. This is basically a month to month contract and at the end of the month the phone needs to be "refilled". For other types of plans, it operates more like an escrow account where you deposit $40 and as you use the device, the fees are deducted from the escrowed amount until you either use all the funds or they expire (usually 90 days, but all carriers vary.) Think of it as buying a car and having to put gas in it soyou can drive it.

So now i have my BRAND NEW REFILLED ARTISO 4+ PHONE with no receipt and im headed for the exit. Well, i got a counterfeit receipt.

How did you pay? Cash? Credit Card? Many times the contract paperwork is the only receipt you will receive.

I get home to get my phone activated and such and as soon as i plug it into charge it immediately turns on. On this big screen in front of my eyes a message pops up like a BILLBOARD on the interstate. In pretty TMOBILE letters i see a message that says 'ERASING NOW'.....WHY WOULD A BRAND NEW PHONE NEED TO ERASE ANYTHING????. OH AND THE PHONE HAD ONLY BEEN CHARGING FOR A MINUTE AND HAD 73%

Click to expand...

Many phones, if turned off, will immediately boot (turn on) when supplied with charging voltage. And, many phones for security will perform a factory reset on first boot or when you swap sim cards. The "erasing" message you saw was a factory reset wiping the user partition. It doesn't indicate that there was a previous owner. Finally, all Li-Ion battery powered devices -- which would be pretty much every cell phone made in the last 5 years -- ships with a charge on the battery. If a modern battery is allowed to completely discharge, it could be rendered inert. Even when the phone reports zero charge, there is really a 15% ~ 20% charge left on the battery to keep it from being damaged. That's just the way these things work.

I read the user guide to see what i would need to activate the phone. That was a waste of time because my (NEW) PHONE i thought was already activated. There are numerous amounts of preinstalled apps on my phone (THAT IM OK WITH) just shed some light P
(PEOPLE).

Click to expand...

The sim card needed to be activated on the T-Mobile network for your phone to work with the new number. I'm surprised they didn't do that at the time of purchase, but I get the impression that you didn't even turn the phone on in the store. You just walked out with a phone in a box and a sim card.

Indigopower said:

I CANT SIGN INTO MY TMOBILE APP BECAUSE IM NOT THE ACCOUNT HOLDER....but my phone was NEW right??

Click to expand...

If this was a new account (not a new number) you should have been told where to sign up. Normally you would use an email address as the user, or the account number, or possibly even the serial number of the phone. Now if you are told specifically that you are NOT the account holder for this phone number, it's quite possible that the clerk at the store didn't provision the number for you properly. I'm sure they recycle old numbers, especially on pre-paid devices, so you probably will need to go back to the store to get this straightened out, but I don't really see anything dishonest going on here.

i think dual audio is only for bluetooth setups. plugging in a wired headphone via usb c will most likely disable bluetooth output.

you can try installing sound assistant in the store and adjusting the settings. maybe this can allow you to route audio out usb C...

Evidently I haven't explained it the way I should. It's not to add a second phone number it's to monitor the text messages from two devices. I'm just trying to figure out how to link another phone. I've looked at it online but it doesn't go into detail.

Oke, I see, thank you.

Have you tried to connect other wifi connections? Your home wifi may get problems, not your two devices.

Apparently negative screen height instead of zero/screen heigjt is the answer -2028

I do not know a specific way how to fix it, but I found it on Quora, hope it can help you:

You are getting “Connection problem or invalid MMI code”, this error mainly occurs because of the connection issues & sim card authorization. This issue mostly happens in dual sim smartphones.
#1

• Switch Off your phone
• Hold the power button
• While holding the power button, keep tapping the menu/home button
• Now, when you see the greetings with a safe mode logo
• Enter the USSD string you were trying to enter within the dialer and see if it is working or not
• If it is working, then certainly there is an app that is causing the Invalid MMI Code error on your phone.
• Restart your phone and remove the recently installed apps.

#2
This is another simple and effective way to fix the error on the android phone. This can be done by just adding a comma at the end of the prefix code.

For example, if your prefix code is *123*1#, then you just need to add a comma at the end of the string. Like, *123*1#, will solve the problem.

#3
Restarting your mobile phone many times sometimes can do the magic. Basically, turn ON your phone and navigate to network settings. Then hold the power and the home button together until your phone turns off. Then again switch it on to get rid of this problem. Maybe this simple exercise helps you out.
