Each time i input a ussd code, it shows me ussd code running,but later says try again. Please in urgent need of help

Sounds like you're sending the wrong code, and your carrier isn't recognising it. USSDs(Unstructured Supplementary Service Codes) are carrier specific. Sometimes used for things like checking your account airtime credit balance, e.g. USSD "*101#" is for account balance enquiry with China Unicom. Check with your carrier for what codes they use.

I bought my unlocked Pixel4 from BestBuy with a $100 e-gift card. Now i'm asking which way should I activate it on VZ
VZ store, VZ authorized store or online chat?
I though I will get $200 prepaid CC from VZ for switch, but apparently it's if u buy the phone from them, now I get only $150 and it will take 45 days to get it.
I didn't like the attitude of the guy at the VZ store, he was pushing me to make the switch even though he wasn't much knowledgeable of how the switch from FI to VZ work. The guy in authorized store was nicer and gave me bunch of tips regarding activation fee, but was on the way out, so I might go back tomorrow.

That's not a fault of the rice. I would guess that any method to dry it out would have yielded the same result. The damage comes from the liquid.

@Adnan fiaz you didn't mention what type of phone you have, but if it's an older or budget model, I would use the uncooked rice method, but I would go further that what's been suggested. I would keep in in the bag of rice for 72 hours at least and change the rice after 24 hours and again after 48. Under NO circumstances try to power on or charge the phone until 72 hours has passed, or you could cause more damage.

If after all that the phone still won't power on, then you have to ask yourself how far you are willing to go to recover your data with the understanding that it might, in the end, not be possible.

sory i not mention what type of phone but i try

Firstly put your phone in the bag of rice grain. Rice grain will absorb all the moisture from your phone. But make sure you keep your phone there for hours or maybe a day. Then dry your phone using a hairdryer. If your phone still doesn't work then you have to contact the service center. They can replace the damaged hardware or else buy a new one!

Do you mean with an Android app or through windows

I meant transfer the file to a PC with minimal adb, I'm assuming you know how to use cmd prompt.

Once your device is connected, drivers installed and recognized. Type: adb install then drag the apk file into cmd and press enter.

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.

You mail works quite well as is, the free version

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.
