Hey Everyone,
I just got my 1st "Smartphone" ....
Not Quite what I was Hoping for .. With all the Preinstalled Apps which are not much value to me...

Gotta be something better than what's installed - So I Appreciate ALL THE HELP I CAN GET, Thanking you ALL in Advance...

I NEVER bought a Phone, to "Activate with a Service Plan" but something to:

*Connect to WiFi
*Install a couple of Apks/Apps? - like Hangouts, Google Voice, etc... Something to Connect to Hotspots and make some free calls/ texts/ and maybe a bit of Surfing...


I think the 1st Thing is to get rid of all the Clutter to make this "Smartphone"- WORK FOR ME.

Please, if you can offer some Suggestions, (Detailed Instructions Please) ...on What to Install and HOW?
I've watched a few Videos and I seem to have TROUBLE with ALMOST EVERYTHING...
KIES and ODIN - can't validate/Verify or something...

When Plugged into my Desktop... I Don't seem to be getting anywhere with that!- Though I thought I downloaded a couple of Windows Updates.

NOT SURE if I know how to download/COPY a Program/firmare onto an SD CARD and RUN/Install it on the Smartphone -

I've Done a few Hard Resets.
Not Sure about Rooting...-(Similar to a Hard Reset but Different Option in Boot Menu?)!

Please, Lets Get Started... Here some of the SPECS:

PLATFORM
OS Android OS, v2.3 (Gingerbread)
Chipset Qualcomm MSM7227 Snapdragon S1
CPU 800 MHz ARM 11
GPU Adreno 200

Any other Information needed?

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?

Welcome to Android Forums, Paulo Buchsbaum!

Let me suggest posting your question on our Android Development board. That's where you'll find lots of fellow developers hanging out and exchanging advice and ideas.

Are you on Wi-Fi when you're doing this? If so, do you have other devices on the same network? How do they behave?

My first instinct is to simply reboot the router and modem. Try that and report back.

Of course, if you're NOT using Wi-Fi, then the issue may be with your phone's carrier.

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.

Got the issue fixed. It was router settings for multicast drop. So as it was disabled now it work. So my ISP sucked and nothin with the phone. Feature came on on last router firmware update.

Power is all I've got. Some user installed app showing Power levels. I have "Battery Widget Reborn near my clock on my left and Sprint or Google's Battery icon on the right.

Unforgiven said:

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.

Yea, if it just started doing that for no reason I'd play around with different scenarios. Definitely give it a could wipe with microfiber etc

Did you buy phone from google or from AT&T? I had the same issue on Verizon with my last phone. Bought from manufacturer 'unlocked' and everything worked except for *visual* voicemail. I had to call into voicemail like the stone age.

I forgot to manually check for mine and it installed automatically tuesday. I usually manually check and install every month (3xl)

yep seems crazy that you can backup individual items but only restore when it comes to a reset

Hi Kannan,

I get the same issue. Did you get a chance to find a solution for this problem?

With TWRP, if I want to make what I want, would I have a problem with the new device? (I've heard there could be an ANDROID_ID conflict)

I created a slider adapter for a view pager i put the animations inside the isViewFromObject method but it work just for some pages of the view pager , is there any slide method where i put the animations, like when i slide the animations of the items start just for the current page.

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

It's not an Android Studio feature but a Web service feature. You either write your own web service or use Google Cloud services or Amazon web services.

Anyone have a copy of the rom for download?

yes reboot it. I hope it will resolve your problem

Hello everyone, I've also been having this same issue for the last couple of weeks with my Galaxy S6.

So frustrating! Please let me know if anyone finds out a solution - thanks a lot...

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.

reinstalled Firefox. No change

As Mikedt said, basically, you can't. A data recovery specialist may be able to recover the data, but it won't be cheap.

I rather go to youmail, since it is recomended more.
