I have problems sending & receiving calls on my cell phone from inside my home (Aluminum siding exterior). Things are fine outside and in other buildings. My carrier says that nothing can be done from their end.

Someone suggested that using ‘wifi calling’ (with my present phone #) on my home’s wireless network while indoors as a possible solution. Can this be used for this purpose? If so, how? I do not see the settings on my phone to enable it.

Hangouts dialer?

I'm currently using Android Studio to create an App.
I want one of the features to block apps, after you activate this by clicking on a button.

So that the app moves in the background, after clicking the button and when you open for example Youtube, it pops up and says something like: "Deactivate this program first".

The basic idea is of course a Clicklistener on this button to start the program
But know I want to know, which commmand you have to use so that the app is permanently supervising, which app you are opening/ have openend, even though the app moved to the background.
Some kind of Clicklistener for this (in the example:Youtube) exact app.

I'm fairly new to App programming
Thanks in advance.

Non-developer here, but my hunch is that you'd need to build the camera functionality into your app instead of offloading to another camera app. That's the only thing I can think of to prevent the external intent from being intercepted by another app.

well if it is not in the software, not sure what you can do. i just looked in my note 10+ and i can't find an option for 5ghz wifi hotspot.

Hi

You have to be running 4.4.2 or flash 4.4.2 firmware. If you flash 4.4.2 firmware you can then install Philz Cwm and a custom rom that will bring you up to 5.X +

Ok, thanks. I try that.

Was Your Email connected to your phone no:?

If it was, you can sign in by typing in your phone number and passwords.

If you forgot your password, then you can enter you phone details and you would get an OTP or a link to change the password.

yeah well that is the only thing i saw when i googled it. good luck finding one. i would contact your carrier.

I really don't like the power button below the volume rocker but I will adjust. Not much choice there. And I agree about the spen gestures. I played with them for a bit but found I didn't have much use for them and they could be more frustrating than useful other than the flick up and down to open and close the spen air options. That I do like. All in all though, I like the phone at least as much as I did my Note 8 which I loved.

Awww, aren't you guys regular boy scouts eh?

Welcome to Android Forums, Pawan Choudhary!

It sounds like you're creating an app, is that correct? If so, the best place to ask is on our Android Development board.

If I'm misunderstanding, please let me know!

Don't you have a system setting for that, @bignose2? Something like [near the bottom]:



If I turn 'show mobile network' on, my carrier is displayed, just like @mikedt's:



I thought this was strictly an Android setting. My phone is a Moto Z² Force Edition running Android 8.0.0, and my carrier is Consumer Cellular (US).

Going back several years in my head... The one with Dangeous Toys' saga, I forgot on who was the guy with sunglasses and boa around his neck, but he had a teddy bear, and broken glass .

Thanks Mike!

I wanted to find out if the SD just came Un-seated, so I took the SD out of the turned off phone and re-inserted it, restarting the phone.
The phone could not see the SD. I repeated a few times. Still no luck.

To find out if the SD card was bad, or if the phone's reading slot was bad:
I took the SD out of my GPS (the only other micro SD that I had), formatted it & put it in the phone blank. It was seen by the phone.
The phone added many folders to it by itself. (Setting it up, I guess.)
This told me the Slot was OK.

For fun, I took the Phone SD & put it in the GPS. The GPS saw the music on the SD. (That's all it should see as far as I know.)
This told me the SD was OK.

This made me believe that the slot in the phone and the SD card were both OK and something corrupted the SD.

I copied the contents of the Phone SD to the computer. (I do have a recent backup, but wanted today's version.)
I formatted the Phone SD in the computer & put it in the phone. The phone saw it and put some folders on it.

I copied from the backup to the Phone SD any folders that actually had files in them, such as Music, Documents, etc.
Some only had empty folders marked Cache or other. I skipped them.

Next, I put the SD back into the phone and the phone saw it & could read from it.

All of the apps that I had on SD were gone, even if I put their empty Cache folders from the backup onto the SD.
There must be important files in a folder that the phone over-wrote when I put the blank SD back into the phone.
I'll re-dwonload them.

I still do not know why the phone did not read the SD, but now can (after a re-format in the computer).

Do you think it is wise to assume the SD is on its last legs and I should buy a new one?
Or, is there another possibility for why the phone stopped reading the SD, but now can?

Thank You Again!

You don't mention the phone you have or the android version, but since you're using the photos app, I'll work it from that angle.

I'll assume you are searching in Chrome on the images tab. Let me walk you through what I just did and maybe you can let us know if you are doing anything differently.

I opened chrome, in the search box, I typed "antelope" and then tapped on the images tab. When I found an image that I wanted to download, I tapped on that and then long-pressed the main image until i saw the option to download. When i saw the download complete message, I closed chrome and opened photos. From there I tapped on the menu (three bars, upper left) and selected "device folders". You should see your recently downloaded image there.

Now, a few things ... Photos, does not, by default, show device folders other than the camera. You have to add those locations manually. And the default download folder for Android is "Download" but for some strange reason, Chrome puts them in a folder called "Downloaded". You might also see another folder called "Downloads" which would be from other apps that can download things.

But, there's good news. If you open Chrome, click on menu (three dots, upper right) and go to settings. All the way at the bottom (actually second to the bottom) is an option for downloads. There you can set the default folder where downloads are saved.

Without firmware your device simply won't boot. Partition, Software, efs, system, modem, bootloader,recovery ...... beed space. Its a given
