Thanks Kate. I think the "Lock automatically" setting is my problem. The only choice is "immediately" and I have a feeling that's part of the agent my company installs on all phones. Ideally I'd just need to increase that lock time right there but it's not available. I've tried all the other settings. Thanks for the help.

I had similar 'fun' a while back- nursing four very out of date servers producing management reports for a large UK retail chain, three of them failed over a two week period, so one was left running 24/7 to just about keep up. I was working 24 hours straight over Sunday/Monday. I asked the ops manager what I should tell the Chairman if/when the last server failed and he didn't get his Sunday trading summary. He just said 'What do you want' so I gave him an over specified wish list - And he agreed! Funny hoe the money was suddenly available.

If someone has the credentials to your Google account, they can do all sorts of things that might make it appear you no longer have control of your phone. In this post ... https://androidforums.com/threads/please-help.1316319/#post-7928596 ... I have already advised another member who's account is compromised, how to take back control.

Next time you buy a used phone, first have the seller remove their account to avoid FRP:
1. Remove any PIN or swipe pattern for the lock screen
2. Go into Settings - Accounts and remove all accounts
3. Then factory reset the device.
After that it shouldn't ask for the email and password with Factory Reset Protection.

Someone from Huawei Service replied to my question today and I quote

"Hi! Thank you for supporting Huawei Products, we understand your situation right now. We highly recommend for you to switch to photo mode and turn off the AI mode as you take your selfies to have no bokeh or blur effect on the background. On your second question, Please be informed that the first camera sensor is the 2MP Bokeh Lens. It is used to have an effect of a soft out-of-focus background that you get when shooting a subject. These are functioning as you use portrait mode and as you use the Pro Mode and adjust the manual focus for your subjects. Thank you and have a great day."

b: the pelt or fur of a badger

Did you just take some heavy medication?

This has been the most helpful set of answers I've ever had the opportunity to come across. Thanks y'all for the support

I looked into it a few months back. Decided it wasn't quite there yet, but don't recall my reason.

For months now sometimes it responds then it does not. If I restart the phone it always works again, but sooner or later it does not.
I happens when I'm at home with WIFI, or on the road using data, when I am sure I am connected on the web, with the Bluetooth switched on or off, after retraining my voice etc etc
I really depend on Google Assistant, but this is driving me crazy, ANY help will be appreciated!

Hi all i developed an application in kotlin and successfully uploaded to playstore using app bundle, but when downloading app from playstore getting an error as Your device isn't compatible with this version please contact developer in all the devices i opened.

Hi. I have a Hipstreet Phoenix (HS-10DTB12A-16GB) without a bump or scratch on it that I hadn't used in a few weeks so I set it on the charger for a day and then tried to power up and it just brings up the "h" logo then goes black repeatedly. I have tried all the power on tricks (including un-soldering the battery and reconnecting for a hard restart) and am trying to reset the firmware(following an other youtube tutorial) but I cannot find a clean link for this tablet. It appears to have a mother board ID of
Em_T8511a_V3.OL
Hipstreet CS has never returned my messages. Any other suggestion would be appreciated. Thank you. Rebecca

those things are pretty locked down from what little i know about your device.

here is the thread you might want to read and check out:

Agreed after skimming the web that device doesn't use a disabler zip. Flash the device firmware.

Can i flash ANY rom from download mode or does it have to be the stock samsung firmware.

keep in mind that the rom needs to be created for your phone.....so no not ANY rom.

I think you can have your app generate an APK which the user can manually install. Tasker has done exactly that for years. The catch is that the user will have to enable the option to sideload APKs.

So yes, this should be possible - but I have no idea how complex it would be to build.

Hello guys, I'm an android developer since one year, I have a project but my programing skills are not enough for this project. Because of that I need to make it easy. This application will be like cambly. People will buy lessons from the different teachers. Do you know a clone similar to cambly. If I found a clone I can edit.
I'm open the all kind of ideas.

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).
