It was like someone.(wife)had control of my phone

Sirjosehime
First google has all your info that's been on your device. It will show where and what time you where and at what time everywhere you have been day by day. It's like a map with lines running to the places you went to that day and the time you got there and how long you where there. Also if someone has access to your google account they have all your passwords and usernames for all your accounts you logged into through google chrome or android device. Also you can go onto your account and see what devices and where they logged into your account from. But another important feature with google ran devices you can download a archive of everything you saved whether its photos contacts or documents and website history and much more as long as you have had the account. So if you have had the account 10 years it will have everything for that 10 year period. If someone is hacked your phone and has a program running on it than enable developer options and go to running services. There it will show you everything that's running on your device. But there is a lot more than what I have covered but I don't want to spend hours writing it all so if you have questions feel free to ask.

Verizon Message+ to gmail

Take a screenshot when your on the message page and email the screenshots. I do everything on my device as well. Just so you know it would be a lot better if you had a better device. I'm not just saying that because I am in sales, If you use your phone for everything it's not going to last long. Those entry level devices are not designed to carry such a high work load. It's for people that don't use there devices often. I wouldn't be surprised if you were already running or ran out of storage. My father started out with a cheaper device and I finally got him to upgrade to a high end phone and he tells me all the time there is a huge difference in how they perform. If you have any questions I can give you the ins and outs of how to upgrade without getting ripped off or sold something you don't need. I have a small list of time saving items that everyone that uses there device a lot would benefit from having. You wouldn't know you need them until you actually have them, you know what they say time is money and there is never enough time in the day. Be careful though a lot of sales Consultants sell shady and or try to sell you a phone you don't need or that won't be good for your lifestyle.

2. By porting in you can have completely free 2 phones + this tablet @ $100 month plus free Amazon Prime.

3. Band 71, fast charging, long lasting battery, front n rear cameras.

4. Turned it into phone, will post details later time permitting.

setExactAndAllowWhileIdle not reliable

mhogan
Has anyone successfully gotten setExactAndAllowWhileIdle (Alarm Manager) to work reliably? I'm making an alarm clock app and it's pretty important to have the alarm fire at the desired time. I'm using the Alarm Manager to call a Service which I then call startForeground() immediately in the on Create() method and request a wakeLock(). I'm using it to chime on the hour and half hour. I invariably miss two or three alarms a day. Sometimes I won't get an alert for a couple hours and then magically it will start working again.

I think this might be related to battery conservation but everything I've read says that setExactAndAllowWhileIdle will ALWAYS trigger at the desired time (plus or minus a few milliseconds).

I'm happy to provide more info but I'm not looking for anyone to write my code for me. I just want a friendly nudge in the right direction.

I should mention that this seems to work properly in the emulator but not on real-world devices. I've tested it with a Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 and a Google Pixel C Tablet and both exhibit the problem I've described.

Please Help Me Identify Icon

Backup utility was my thought, mainly because it looks like a knock-off of the MacOS "time machine" backup utility's icon.

Do you have any apps that can do scheduled backups?

I'm not sure right now. I know that Sprint Backup on my Galaxy 8+ has a similar icon to what you've mentioned (MacOS "time machine") but this phone is under Verizon. Thanks a lot. This was a really helpful post.

A fact any pet owner (well dogs and cats, parrots can live for 70+ years :eek: ) has to accept is that their loyal companions life will be much shorter than our own. :(

I know. And it sucks!

My favorite dogs, Great Danes, being giants, have the shortest lifespan of all dogs. Lifespan in dogs is inversely proportional to their size....which is just so unfair. :(

My last Dane, my baby, was like a person, a child, with me 24/7, taking up so much space. The void I felt when he died was both emotional and physical...

How to set Here maps as default

F
I have discovered if I open an app, like gas buddy, and request directions to a location Here maps will open. However when on a website, even one that is showing a location on Bing maps, google.com/maps opens. Bing maps will start to open for a split second then google maps takes over. I can't figure out how to stop it from doing that. I am using Edge and Bing as my browser and search engine.

On my old phone, a wonderful windows phone, worked just like my pc. When I look up location on the web the default map program opens. My 4+ year old windows phone did so much more than this brand new Note 10+ does. It took better pictures too.

Which type of tablet?

Hadron
Well for that the only one of your specifications that matters is that I'd not buy one with a very old android version, just to be sure that you won't have an app incompatibility problem in the near future. Otherwise almost any tablet will handle that usage: there's no great demand on the cpu, streaming doesn't require a lot storage, most will have perfectly adequate screen resolution (unless you have young eyes and hold it close to your face), and if you are in bed I doubt it even needs to be very bright. You don't say what your sound preferences are (speakers, wired headphones or wireless), but it's only the first of those will vary much (an audiophile may differ, but these don't sound like audiophile uses).

I guess what I'm saying is that you don't require top-end specs for that purpose, or even anything close. I'd avoid devices with only 16GB storage unless you really are going to use it for nothing other than streaming video, because that's been below minimum spec for a while now. But otherwise I'd buy whatever you like and feel comfortable with (in every sense, i.e. feels OK to hold the way you will use it, quality feels good enough and price doesn't feel uncomfortably high). I do always recommend seeing the device yourself if you can, rather than relying on spec sheets or reviews.
