That was my thought: you or he has set a custom notification tone for his messages.

(I do this for some people, but as I use third party SMS apps it is found in a different place).

Wow @mikedt
I had no idea.

So I was waiting for an important email today and was getting extremely frustrated about getting excited every time i got an email only to find out it was junk.

Is there a way to set it so that I won't receive a notification for something from the junk mail folder?

I have the same problem. I just removed my account and reinstalled it again on my mobile. Seems to have worked. Not getting junk mail notifications anymore. Will never ever open junk mail folder from the mobile again.

Guys any method to change it without root?

yeah keep wishing guys.

lg along with certain samsung phones (snapdragon) are one of the hardest phones to crack......which is a good thing. but both come with a locked bootloader and both manufacturers will be keeping it that way. if you want to root a device, pick one that has a development community and one that has a bootloader that can be unlocked.

do your research on xda developers forum

That's new. I haven't seen it either.

I'm a score older than you and I use my DVR like I used to use videotape to record a movie or one or two episodes of a TV show.

Streaming actually works great now on phones (No Buffering) so I use that to just watch a show or movie I may have missed. If I want to keep it for further viewings DVR is the way to go.

Hm, well. The car stereo is stock Toyota Highlander. No idea how to do anything about it.

Just wondering if there are folks out there who can confirm a working combo of
SGS10e + <insert_your_player_app_here> + Stock Toyota 2013 BT car stereo ??

Cheers,

All - I solved the problem, somewhat accidentally. I happened to drop my phone and the impact cracked the screen protector I had on it. The cracked screen protector that i removed was not the type that was contoured to fit the curvature of the screen. I replaced it with one that was contoured to fit the screen and lo and below, my always-on-display started working. Apparently, my old screen protector was somehow fooling my V20 into thinking that it was in my pocket (?), thus shutting off the AOD. All is well now, and I think I'll keep the phone ;-).

not quite sure i understand your issue. are you saying when you use the hotspot feature on your phone to be used on another phone. and that phone the internet works fine. but on your phone with the hotspot turned on, your internet lags? did i get it right??????

if that is the case, then yes that could happen as both are using the same internet connection, thus reducing its speed.

how are you mirroring to the tv? what apps are involved? are you chrome casting? do you have a screen shot?

that's awesome!!!!!!!!

i wish it was longer. it left me wanting more.

Thank you both for your answers. I expected there would be a limit to the highest level of Android I could install but wasn't sure so now I have a better idea of the way it all works.

have tried rebooting the phone?

HI,

so I've bought an S3 from eBay advertised as new.
Obviously it is not the latest model but the phone is charging very slow, which I would not expect with a new phone. (I've also had it only one day)
In addition the browsers are constantly freezing and crashing the phone

When I took off the void sticker, no remnants were left behind to say void.

Is this what I should expect with an old model or is it possibly not new?

TIA

i would also like to add that in this day and age old phones like these are really only good for communication purposes only. most apps these are more robust and requires higher specs. to really have a good functioning phone that can run apps, use the internet as well as make phone calls and texts needs at least 3gb of ram and 32gb of storage.

.......so do not expect out of this phone.

i do that every few days or so....or whenever you see excess battery drops

Looking at Google's Distribution dashboard https://developer.android.com/about/dashboards/, Jellybean accounts for only 3.2% of Android devices. But it's still (for now) usable. I've still got an old phone stuck on Jellybean 4.1.1, which I use at hpme as an internet radio/audio streaming device, and as GPS in the car.

Do your kids have phones with a data allowance? Have a look and see if your tablet has connected to any networks you don't recognize, and if so, check the kids' phones to see if they've set up a hotspot.
(not that I'm paranoid......)

I'd say yaw need a lucky cue in order to play with us

Indeed

Just found this, a disable list for Bixby:

samsung bixby :
.\adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.samsung.android.app.settings.bixby
.\adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.samsung.android.bixby.service
.\adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.samsung.android.bixby.agent
.\adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.samsung.android.bixbyvision.framework
.\adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.samsung.android.bixby.wakeup
.\adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.samsung.android.app.spage
.\adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.samsung.android.bixby.agent.dummy
.\adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.samsung.android.visionintelligence
.\adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.samsung.systemui.bixby2

I still haven't given up hope...

I think I've made some progress.
Despite the phone not being recognized by my computer, I decided to try and use the MTK Flash tool
on my phone.

After some initial hiccups (not working at all) I did manage to flash the original ROM to the phone successfully!

But... there was no life to the phone.
The boot loop was gone and the buttons (On/Up/Down vol.) had no effect on the phone.
Also the charging light still does not come on.

So a successful ROM flash but still clinically dead.

P.S. I should also add, I opened up the phone before the ROM flash and disconnected the non-removable battery but it didn't stop the boot loop at the time, once the battery was re-connected.

OTG should be plug and play. And a quick check reveals that the e5 Go should support OTG (I'd be a bit worried if any phone these days does not).

What OTG connections have you tried to use? Just in case it's a specific device or app that isn't working.

Click to expand...

The weird thing is that I had this exact same phone before and was able to use the OTG functions. I broke that phone and bought the exact same phone and can't get it to work. Mind you it wasn't as simple as plug and play, I had to use developer options to turn on USB debugging and put the USB configuration in MTP. But that isn't working now for this phone. I can't remember if I am missing an important step or if it's some glitch with this new phone?
But I have tried using a OTG cable and a OTG card reader...neither worked.
Thanks for the help!
