Help with my tv I need to install apps and have no app store

What is the brand and model I.D. of the TV?
It might not be a matter of even being able to install any apps/software onto the TV itself but rather you'll need to buy the appropriate set-top box or device so the TV can be connected to your home network. Then you can use a mobile device (smartphone or tablet) as a remote controller, installing the apps you need to your mobile device. Which, just to clarify things, also leads to the question of do you have WiFi setup at home?

Notifications go silent on vibrate

Hi all,

It seems that the latest update made my notifications go silent when I put it on vibrate. My phone used to vibrate when I get texts and emails but now they go silent. Anyone else experience this?

The only times it vibrates now are for phone calls.

I also noticed the "Notifications" line is grayed out in the attached picture.

Help My android does not work on home wifi, but works everywhere else

Some devices have a hard time when encountering a router with the SSID for 2.4GHz and 5GHz set to the same thing (e.g. both set to MyNetwork). I ran into this some time in the past (maybe a doorbell I was testing) and simply renamed my 5Ghz network MyNetwork5G and all was good.

I'm not a huge network guru, so I don't remember or understand the particulars, but it worked for me.
Thanks for the input. I'll check into it.

Help How to use app Advance Download Manager

well, i got the app on play store but cant work around my ways. I did download one image though but thats all, no luck with a audio/video file
If any of you used this app i wud appreciate help. need detailed step by step process, explain like im a 5 year child. I want to schedule downloads of files at night... Thanks in advance.
Scheduling is really difficult with that app, new version of android 10 has kind of bugs for not allowing scheduling to work in my phone :)

Restoring an Android phone

Thanks, but I did try that and all it seemed willing to allow me to do was back up the info to a new phone. That is not what I wanted to do since I was trying to back up the data prior to a factory reset.

I was finally able to get Android File Transfer working (for some reason it stopped working, perhaps due to a recent Android update) and used that to copy the data to an external drive. I also used the built-in backup-restore functionality and will keep my fingers crossed, so to speak.

Thanks for the post.
