Of course many times
Also in service centre

not sure, but i don't think it will fix itself like that. is this only with mcafee? if so maybe try and contact the developers and see what they say. TBH i don't think such an app is completely necessary......but that is just me.

I'm not surprised that no suggestions have been offered so far, because as I have mentioned, I've done lots of searching and have come up with nothing, myself.

I'm willing to consider an alternative: does anyone know of an Android text editor or file manager that allows the editing of encrypted files, and whose encryption (not necessarily GNUPG-based) is also manageable (decryption and encryption) by software that runs under Linux? I want to be able to edit encrypted files under Linux and to edit those same files under Android (after I have transferred them to Android). And I want to perform the same function in the opposite direction: i.e., edit encrypted files under Android and edit those same encrypted files after transferring them to Linux.

I want this to be file-by-file encryption, not filesystem encryption such as encfs. And the files must be encrypted and decrypted locally without any access to anything in the cloud.

I know how to incorporate any encryption/decryption mechanism under Linux into emacs, so the Linux-based encryption doesn't need to be part of an existing text editor. However, on the Android side, I need the encryption/decryption to be built into a text editor or file manager.

Thank you for any suggestions.

Is this app synced to some account (Google, Samsung, Outlook or something else)? If so you just need to set up the same account on the new phone.

If you have been storing local, non-synced events on the old phone you will need some way of backing them up on the old phone and restoring them on the new one. So knowing what app you are using, what sort of events and how you are trying to do this is necessary before anyone can try to answer the question.

Huh???
Would love to help you. If you could elaborate more.

Huh? Can you be more specific??? What app are we talking about???????

Here's a good article to read through on tablets:

Even if you want to ignore their recommendations scroll down to peruse through all the information on choosing what best fits your particular needs. Read up on what's available, educate yourself, and then make an informed choice on what works out best for you, not someone else.

Oh, you're welcome! Glad I could help.

Welcome to Android Forums, Lisa Naera!

I have pages manager on my phone

Click to expand...

Is that the actual name of the app, Pages Manager? A quick search in the Play Store turns up a facebook app, but it doesn't sound like what you described (sending messages, having photos organized in albums).

Please post a link to the app's Play Store page. There are numerous ways of finding its link, so if you need help just let us know.

Once we know for sure which app you're referring to, we'll be better able to help!

If it's under the screen she's screwed.

Welcome to Android Forums, Tipi!

Please how can one bypass adbloker, trying to install an unknown app.

Click to expand...

Installing unknown apps is a system-controlled function.

Go into your System Settings, then find the entry for installing unknown apps. On my Moto Z² Force running 8.0.0, its path is:

System Settings | Apps & notifications | Advanced | Special app access | Install unknown apps

From there you'll see a list of apps. Find your ad blocker and give it permission to install unknown apps.

Now--assuming your ad blocker was actually the source of the problem--you should be able to proceed.

I hope you're aware that installing apps of this nature can be dangerous. Be sure you trust its source before installing it!

Privacy, just that.

That was a very accurate guess

It's amazing how many junk/adware/spyware vendors hide it in flashlight apps. Especially since these are simple apps, and the only permission they actually need is "camera" (which is needed to turn the flash on on many devices), which makes it simple to spot if they are asking for permissions that are not needed to do their task (which is generally a bad sign) and not install them if they are.

DO NOT DISTURB works wonders.

is this for development purposes? if so we have a development forum.

i'll alert the mods to move this there.

wait......are you saying the ipad is better?

i'll take the galaxy s6....thank you very much!!!!

How bad was it @fekish?
Share a pic.

Not just a screen, but as an external touchpad. And then that there is software that will allow you to both mirror the display and forward the touch commands to the phone.

Note that it may also matter what type of phone you have. Some older phones can output video using a MHL adapter, but that won't allow you to use an external touch device at the same time. More recent ones can use a USB-C to HDMI cable, but I expect that to have the same limitation. So I guess you are looking for a USB-to-USB connection, which will require software support from both devices.

Actually I use GPS only and never get notifications about needing access. Perhaps because I don't use those apps, but I've never allowed network-based location and this has never been a problem for me.

The only app that currently ever complains is Google Maps, and that's just because wireless location gives more information to Google and so they occasionally nag/lie to you to turn it on. I just dismiss those when they appear, which isn't often (it's not to do with getting a location fix, because I already have one when the message appears, so I conclude that it's just Google trying to get me to unnecessarily change my settings to what serves them better).

even if you are successful with doing a firmware update, you will still need to log in with the original account info upon the setup screen.....once frp is tripped, it is very difficult to get around.

with 1 gig of ram?????

.......i hope most folks would move on. now days you need a phone with at least 3 gig of ram, if you want to fully use the phone. now if you just plan to use the phone to only make phone calls and text, i guess you can get by with it.

I had a bubble pop up a couple of times that was grey and said "purchase failed :-("

Click to expand...

When it's happened, was there anything else, like something prompting you to do some action, or just the gray box saying 'purchase has failed'? Does the gray box go away on its own?

has anyone seen this before im concern for phone security?

Click to expand...

No, I've never seen it. But I don't think it rises to the level of having been hacked, or anything like that.

Were you using the same app each time it happened? Which app(s)?

Did it start soon after installing something new?

Whatever you do, don't click anything unexpected--like that gray box or anything it spawns!

If you had NO security on your phone they could look at it without you knowing (while you're in the john without your phone), and if you were silly enough to have your Google account password stored in an obvious location in plain text format ... then I suppose they could steal your credentials and browse your account at their leisure, but you'd have to almost be serving it to them on a pillow. Tell me you don't do that.

Of course I don't have an iOS device myself, so can't provide any more help.

I suspect the Apple "geniuses" will tell you to buy an Apple TV if want to stream from an iPhone.

Thank you! I will check it right now
