I figure you could accomplish your intend with Tasker..

I bought a OnePlus 6T a few months ago. I like the phone but i miss the screen real estate of the 6P. Definitely going to get a QHD on my next phone.

All the phones I have only take pictures at highest resolution in 4:3

This T-Mobile (USA) update looks very much like a re-worked version of the global model's 9.0.15 firmware from back in early July.

See...

OxygenOS update 9.0.15 for 6T & 9.0.7 for 6

OK, I found the problem! I was annoyed by the pop-up window notifications from various apps. So each time the window popped, I clicked on "BLOCK all, " without realizing I was blocking my sms app.

I went to SETTINGS/NOTIFICATIONs. Scrolled down my sms app and saw "Blocked". I unblocked it.

Go here and ask.

Currently - Rusty Lake cut scene.
Bioshock's ones too.

To downgrade this is possible but you will have to format your device to do so, resulting you losing all data, however you can backup your data so you dont lose your stuff

Welcome to Android Forums, kfh777!

I can see the backup on My Drive on the LG. How can I use it? I missed its application on the initial startup of the LG.

By 'missed' do you mean you saw it, but didn't do it, or it was not offered to you at all? If the former, I think simply resetting the phone should do the trick.

Since it's new, I'm guessing you don't have anything to worry about losing--but if you do (photos, maybe?), make sure you save them somewhere safe. Then proceed with a factory reset. To make sure that starts from scratch, log out of your Google account on the phone before proceeding.

If I'm off-base, let us know!

I actually tried to talk the wife into getting a 4, but she's been permanently indoctrinated in the ways of Samsung. She got an S10e.

Now I have to familiarize myself with OneUI, too. Oh joys.

Plus once I pick it up, and it doesn't see her face, I can't just point it towards her and then unlock.

When the Mrs. has a technology problem, she let's me know but won't give me the phone.

There are skins for that @Technomax
I don't use them but they are a thing.

I have attached a photo to show where the WIFi chip is. Lift the metal cover to find it. You can find the chip online by searching, "WiFi Chip Samsung Tab 4 T231". The chip number is listed as W8887SAO.

Kind regards

Ah, autocorrect strikes again :

Things don't "attach themselves" to any apps (well ad scripts can lodge in browser caches, but that's about it). An app that contains malware or adware contained it when it was downloaded.

Just saw this phone on Verizon's lineup now as a budget level smartphone. Honestly, besides its terrible screen resolution and iffy battery, the chipset itself isn't that bad, it's what I had in my old Moto E4 and it was pretty snappy on AOSP.

If anyone has one of these, let me know how it performs for you. Granted, I'm not expecting miracles, but perhaps the OS isn't as bloated as I'm thinking it is. Either way though, perhaps we can try some methods to get the bootloader unlocked and get root privileges. I know it's a Verizon phone and the chances are low, but it's worth a shot considering the Orbic Wonder worked...

If you host the apk yourself you will have to convince your users (and walk them through how) to set up their phone for installing external apps...which may be different for each phone, and their phone may warn them against. Amazon does it for installing their app store on any android device though. You can check out how they handle it here...
https://www.amazon.com/androidapp

Turn on 2 factor authentication for your Gmail account and disallow any device that you don't want to have access. Then even if someone knows your password it will ask you (on your phone) for permission before granting access. Change your password as well. And periodically check whether other devices have been given access (possible if someone has access to your phone).

If you really think there may be spyware involved you should reset your phone as well (as long as it isn't rooted or really old, pre 6.0, in which case that might not be enough). Be careful not to change password and then reset though: that can look like the phone has been stolen and get you locked out for a few days.

But you've really not explained why you think this, at least not in a way I can understand. So all of this may be overkill.

Can't comment on odd noises on BT headphones - could just be a connection issue for all we can tell.

ok😊 Thanks for your reply

So, anybody tried it? I'd like to hear your thoughts.

It's a message app, either SMS or some Internet messaging service (probably not WhatsApp as that appears to be open in the screenshot).

Very hard to be more specific as there are dozens of them and the icons are all very similar. But does it matter which? The person who sent that screenshot had received a message of some sort from someone, that's all it will tell you no matter which app it is.

Every so often when i unlock my phone the internet pops open even though i closed all apps before locking.

I think we may have a terminology issue here!

'The Internet' is a global network of millions of computers communicating with each other. I don't see how that could pop up on your phone.

Do you perhaps mean an Internet browser, such as Chrome or Firefox? Or maybe an Internet app that's on your phone?

Or could you be referring to the icon that appears when your phone connects to a Wi-Fi network? Or data network...?

If you can be a little more specific, we'll be better able to help. A screenshot would be great.

without a firmware you can flash, there is not much you can do. it would help to know what tablet you have exactly. maybe go to the manufacturer's website and see if they offer a firmware you can download and flash.

it's alright

I have not listen to any podcasts at all, be brutally honest, there is far too many out there to even list.
Even by a certian ammount of gandera's going by such and such, honestly call me crazy but I rather just do not listen
to other people talk.

I was wondering if anyone knew what app the notification icon nearest the time in one of the screenshots and nearest the three dots in the other is.

Thank you for your assistance.

That didn't work. Both emails pop up.
