No, downloading apks is not illegal. There is no "to some extent".

There are sites that host illegal downloads, where they do not have the developers' agreement to distribute the apps (required even for free apps) or where they are distributing cracked versions of paid apps. But to say that downloading apks is in any way illegal because these sites exist is like saying that it's somewhat illegal to buy a watch because there are people who sell stolen goods.

Well what computer have you got there, its specs? Are the CPU and GPU maxed out when running the Android emulator plus PUBG? Depending on what you've got, you may either need to lower your expectations of a software emulator, or upgrade your computer.

probably i should upgrade my computer, that was so freaking out to feel the heat after running emulator

I just use MTP. I don't use third party apps for file transfer mainly for security reasons. You can search google play for a substitute that is still supported by the developer. Or wait for other suggestions.

good shiet my guy, might add some stuff to it, but I'll leave the credit where it is due.

Just a lurker here.
@svim: Thanks for the tip about "Diskusage", downloaded it, good piece of kit.

B.

I never used it at all, Barely scratched what google can do for all of us. Probably we do not like to google anything of google. Too lazy.

That's why it's a lot better getting a better phone, that model is very low end and will never operate properly

We can throw some bananas and vegan yogurt in it and find out!

Welcome to Android Forums, Task252!

it was very nice of you to explain the solution with current info, since the original post and its solution were from 2013. I'm sure it'll help someone who's searching for a solution!

If you are using a Gmail account your apps will be backed up automatically.
If you are using Google contacts they will be backed up also

Usually the timeout, or the number of rings before a call is diverted to voicemail is determined by the carrier network. If there's no network settings for it, you'll need to contact your carrier customer service.

it should be in your phone's setting.

settings>storage>sd card>format sd card as internal storage........or something to that effect

i checked ebay......they were like $2-3........lol

Dam it...its still doing it.....So i went into settings, lock screen, and "unchecked Action memo on lock screen"..just over an hour, and all is fine, fingers crossed. Still at least i found 4 unwanted apps i knew nothing about, and uninstalled them..

I recently lost the capture plus feature on my LG15G. I removed chrome as my default browser and instead used the resident browser, capture plus once again works. Hope this helps someone else with this issue!

I was just coming to say clear cache and data! Just did on mine and everything is back to normal.

there really is no perfect phone to use parental controls. really you just need to find the specs and price that suits you and your wallet.

it's really the apps you use that will help out.

here are some articles for you to read:

so it looks like family link is the app to get.

even if it is cropped, you can't see the full picture......i'm confused on your issue....sorry

It's hard to describe but it's ok now

If the phone was pattern or PIN locked, it's basically impossible to access personal data on it by USB means, as that's for security, there are no backdoors.

Think your only chance really is to have the phone screen repaired, so it can be unlocked. How much to replace a Oneplus 3 screen, might depend on where you are, and what sort of repair facilities are available to you.

Samsung devices don't have that feature.

I definitely clicked 'Force Stop' on the email app in the App manager. The button didn't grey out but stopped responding. I expected once I'd stopped it a button to restart would appear but it didn't.

That's normal. Using 'force stop' never prompts to restart an app.

It clearly didn't stop the app because immediately afterwards I tried sending a test email from her phone to mine and it worked.

See @svim's excellent explanation.

In mid October I posted my own post about Google Text-to-Speech settings having gone sideways around that time and they have stayed broken. I'm on Android 8 on an Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom and use T-T-S heavily to listen to documents on my phone. Now, I have to forcefully choose my pwn voice of choice (and its speed of delivery) buried deep down under "install voice data" for every single use of the function and sometimes even have to re-choose partway through playing if I have paused my playing for too long. They have really messed up this customization function, somehow, so what used to work beautifully no longer does. There are never any replies to in-app feedback back to Google.
(PS they've also done some other weird little things recently, such as T-T-S reading every occurence of "sat" (no period) as the word Saturday, rather than the word sat, but I guess some apparatchik decided for their calendar app they just wanted it that way. The choice had also existed for a long time to read the word "Dr." always as "Drive" and never as "Doctor" and I've adjusted to that. I haven't adjusted to hearing my DRM free books, which seem to be full of people sitting, with sentences like. "The children Saturday glum and silent throughout this speech."

I periodically have problems trying to download files from Google Drive onto my Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom running Android 8. Most of the time I'm okay but then have a spell where the files just point blank won't download. I request download repeatedly with nothing happening and then upon restarting the phone it downloads the same file as many times as I attempted download. I do NOT have the setting switched on for only downloading via WiFi.

The orange attachment to the icons could mean that its locked and can only be opened with a security password or biometrics. As to what type of app it is is impossible to know as icons can be changed with themes. Samsung has built in app lock, MIui also has one.

Does anyone know of a quality email app that has the ability to assign different notification sounds to specific email authors? I now use Maildroid Pro but it hasn't been updated in over a year and it is no longer supported. I'm looking for a new app that's similar. It has to have the the ability to filter incoming mail and assign different notifications to specific email authors.
Thanks in advance,
