Help with icon

no idea.

.....we get this question on a daily basis. most of these questions never get answered......why you asked?

well there millions and millions of apps out there, each with their own notification icon. if you add in all of the websites that can also send notification icons, you can add millions more of icons to the list.......that is quite a list!!!!!!!!!

to be able to recognize an app icon just from a picture is almost like finding a needle in the haystack.

the only true way of knowing is thru the phone. but, in most cases the phone is not accessible as it usually belongs to someone else. and most do not feel like going to the person and asking what the notification on their phone is. but without looking at the notification list from within the phone's settings, it is almost impossible to know what it is.

.......sorry but i have no idea what it is and good luck.

Help Skype Call Possibility Removal from Contact List

Hey guys,


I am from Hungary and relatively new to the Android World. I am contacting you regarding the following issue/question. I got a new phone and as of now in my phone contacts there is the possibility to call my contacts via Skype ( I see a Skype logo/icon), however not via mobile. On the other hand, if I create a new contact, that person can be called via mobile, but not via Skype anymore.


I would like to achive that the only possible way to call my contacts is via mobile and not via Skype. Do you have any idea, how I could make it happen? One option would be to create all the contacts new, however that would take ages.


Many thanks!


Kind Regards,

Adam

Hello-Hello

Maybe worth checking the phones sound settings.

go to Settings, Sounds & Vibrations ,Sound Quality & Effects and check if "Surround" or "Concert Hall" is turned on. Make sure concert Hall is not on in the sound quality and effects setting and if it is turn it off.

Update Issue

I would have suggested Smart lock but that is not compatible with your device. As for Good Lock not working after the update, your not alone. Information on this is in the link below

https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Note10/Android-10-ONE-UI-2-0-Good-Lock-Not-Working/td-p/1043152

Im not familiar with your device or how the new update has created issues but it might be caused by incompatibility with Good Lock or perhaps some other user app. The best way to find out would be to turn off you phone and reboot into safe mode. Check on line for the proper key combinations.

clipboard

There is a wonderful app I use called Clipper+ it's like the clipboard (which only remembers the last thing you copied). Clipper+ stores the last 20 things copied: so you can go back, tap on one and it loads that into the system clipboard, ready to paste. There are also things called "snippets" which are like a persistent copy, and they stay stored there until edited or deleted. So if you have something that you want to paste quite often, you can store it as a snippet. I love this app and highly recommend it.

Thats great, I glad that app works well on your device. Having twenty things copied to the clipboard is a very useful feature. The clipboard on my Note 4 hase 20 already and Im not sure if that was stock or part of my custom rom. To tell you the truth, I have a vague recollection of the stock OS, I just dont remember anymore. Anyway, you also mentioned a feature that I had never heard before called "snippets". Thanks The-Chief, I will download the app and give it a try.

Isn't Geofencing DESIGNED to work in background?

I have been struggling a lot to get geofencing working on Android.
In my mind, geofencing was created to be able to send notifications when an app runs in the background and the user crosses a fence. Doesn't it work like this on Android? It does on iOS...
But whatever I do (and I followed Google samples and advice) I can't get it to work in the background. It always stops at some point whatever I do...
And my onReceive is only called when the app is running.
HELP! Any advice as to what to do?

Thank you!!

Pushpin all of a sudden appeared in my messaging app on 1 contact only...
