Phone acting very odd.

O
I've had this phone all of I've week and it's possessed I believe. First of all the in different areas of the settings menu it says phone number UNKNOWN under about phone. I've got many odd services running eating my data up. Some of my settings have been changed and won't allow me to change them back. I've included some screenshots for any feedback y'all may can give. Also I'm running some sort of Qualcomm. Qti. Aurora or something and all I can find in Google is something about dual SIM card. Please help. I know this is vague but I'll answer anything I can.

Root Reboot

Hey, the phone I've been using have started to get a black screen and get glitches across the screen. Right now it's in a whole black mode where I can't see anything, it doesn't react if I hold any of the buttons and all I see is some glitches. And if it does turn on it will only be on for a few seconds then it will become black again. I wonder if it will help if I reset it or is it a matter of the hardware?
Over-time the charge socket have been getting damp a lot and if this may have been the effects and it's actually the hardware, may be possible? Thanks if answer.

so lets first rule out a nefarious app that might have been installed. i would put the phone in safe mode. it is usually a combo of power and volume (it will vary according to models and manufacturers). this prevents any 3rd party apps from running. if it is still happening then i would do a factory reset.

if that does not work then, then it is a hardware issue.

Help SD Card Apps Greyed Out, Can't Open

svim said:
Try using the Play Store app to reinstall those now greyed-out apps. There's a good chance that the saved data for each of those apps still reside in their respective folders in the internal storage. (When you're 'moving' apps to an microSD card, it's still matter where not everything relative to the app gets moved over. It's actually a situation where parts of the app have to remain in the internal storage while other parts reside on the card.)
This same situation occurs if you've forgotten that you've moved some apps to your card and later remove the card. The apps in question need to be reinstalled to function again because parts of them are no longer accessible.
As to why you're having this problem after rebooting, how did you 'move' those apps? Using the Settings menu in your phone or using a third-party app you installed?

Wifi Calling - Android Phone

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.

How can I create an App like Appblock or Forest?

L
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.

Second Impressions

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.
