Cheers! You can't renew the license? Does the license cost as much as the device?

From what I understand, the license is needed to upgrade the firmware that supports new phones. You'd better buy one with license remaining valid or ask the seller whether your phone model is already supported.

Go to your phone's settings and click on battery, then scroll down and you'll see a list of apps consuming battery and approximate consumption.

There are also apps on the play store that monitor battery usage.

And Ubuntu has a very friendly forum

Years ago, when I was very active there, it had turned into a clique-ish, holier than thou, unwelcoming cesspool. They treated newbies like morons. And the funny thing--in my UNIX-since-1985 book--was that THEY were newbies, too! These were like 1- or 2-year Ubuntu users, self-proclaimed as Linux gods. Their treatment of new users really turned me off. That was...I don't know, maybe 10 years ago. I'm glad to hear it's friendly now.

Good post, though. If windows people who use and love Android just made the mental leap, they could be happily humming along in an all-Linux world like I am.

The same author as in the OP explained in another article 5 reasons you should switch from windows to Linux right now. I recommend reading it for anyone sick of windows, or just wanting a better OS.

I think I am screwed

nothing cooked into the phone. but there are apps you can use for thta:
SMS Auto Reply Text Message/ SMS Autoresponder

I'm curious if you can map physical buttons to firing up an app. For example pressing the volume up button while the phone is asleep etc.

I have not tried this myself, but here's an app that claims to do that...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.homebutton&hl=en_US

Here's a direct quote from the description of the app...
"Remap buttons to launch any app, shortcut or custom action with a single, double press or long press."

Thank you for your input. I have ordered a new phone. You are correct. It is a software issue. Not happy but it is what it is.

Well if it was just a software issue, I don't think you'd be buying a new phone. This is a hardware failure, repair or replacement required.

I have to fully agree.

1. Looks like "My Favorite Martian" the app.

No idea @annabl1.

As opposed to unintentional roaming?

Yeh, like getting on the wrong international flight, and that has happened.

I did end up in the wrong city once, when I fell to sleep on a train and missed my stop. That was in the UK, was supposed to in Cheltenham, but I was in Birmingham.

Yeah, and there's that. The latest I was able to get on my A855 was Gingerbread, 2.3.7 and it really sucked and struggled. That is part of why I do not really look to 'update' my devices to the latest version of Android past the one that was on it when it got released. Heck, my Nexus 6 (retired) is still on Lolipop.

If it's a 4k UHD TV 48" -72" send it to me and I'll put it into a "commode"

If you don't mind do you have an example code or some thing like that for that work instead documentation.
It will be a big help.

I wrote a tutorial that demonstrates how I use a JobIntentService with fully working example project and code here:
https://techstop.github.io/android-broadcastreceiver/

Now here's the thing, there are different ways to use this service, so the example a linked above may not be what you're looking for. If not do a google search for "how to use jobintentservice" and plenty of tutorials will come up.

Thanks for putting me straight. I don't know how that happened but can agree with you about YouCall. As I've now dealt with it by killing off voicemail, I'll let things stay as they are and avoid having to have yet another app. Thanks anyway,

Ian

Thanks appreciated

Thank you

A Rorschach app? All I see is an ink stain.

Depends what app you use, and what option you click.

Hey guys, I just recently updated my game insane bird.
It's more like flappy bird bird with some extra features that are -
1) Bird selection mode.
2) 12 types of bird characters available.
3) 4 types of themes.
4) HQ graphics.

So just go and download it's realy fun.

And thanks of checked this game out!!

I was using a button but it stopped working with the latest android update.
Any suggestions on a hand held button type device that will open my camera, or click on a chosen desktop shortcut icon?
Thanks!

Where do I find the serial number on a LG HBS-910 or its box? The headset itself has an FCC ID number but I do not find the serial.
