Background data from guitar timer?

Dan Thomas said:
I noticed an an App called " strings tuner" was using up high megabytes of background data, even though I only use it occasionally to tubne my guitar. Could it be evesdropping?

Yeh, it could be spyware, and/or it's ads. Suggest you post the Play Store URL for the suspicious app, might give us a better idea about it. Does the app have excessive and unnecessary permissions for what a guitar tuning app needs. Does it come from China?

Cannot send or receive MMS while on Wi-Fi

kate
Some phones can natively do MMS over WiFi, others can't. The carrier must also support it, not all do.

Up until recently you could install another texting app that supported MMS over WiFi, but requirements from Google removed that feature for recently updated apps.

One way to enable MMS over WiFi, if your carrier supports it, is to install an older version of Textra - 3.5. This version of the app was made before the new requirements from Google were in effect. You'll have to use the Install From Unknown Sources option.

Textra version 3.5:

In Textra settings under MMS enable Prefer WiFi, you might also have to switch between System and Legacy.

Not sure it it works on MetroPCS but you can try.

Help Setting up Do Not Disturb for a large array of numbers

T
I will be working night shift on call next weekend. I'd like to just nap throughout the day and perhaps a bit a night without my phone going off at all unless it's from work.
Ideally I would just turn on DND mode and add my works number to the "exceptions' list to ring at full blast.
Unfortunately my work can call from anywhere in the building all with their own different numbers. BUT they all start with the same 6 digits, so is there a way to add a contact to my phone that would be like (123)456-**** which would cover every number from (123)456-0000 to (123)456-9999?
Would be great to just add that as a Do Not Disturb exception. I've added the numbers that do call me to my contacts as they come but there are just too many of them and I don't want to manually add 9,999 numbers to one contact.
Thanks,
-Toph

Slow wifi hardware

FarmerRichard said:
So I recently got my note 10 . funny it didn't come with an SD card slot . Oh how quirky. Well ok . I can deal with out that Especially considering how much I paid for it. but that's not my biggest problem. since there's plenty of memory in here . Ok moving on .My biggest issue. Slow Wi-Fi speeds.no at first I was contributing this to my router except for all my other devices seemed to work just fine and typically does see the 300 megabits a sec down I have slated from my internet service provider. ... So I'm thinking well can't be my hardware . so it must be my phone . but just to be safe, And therefore not jump to any conclusions. I took it over my buddies house, who has gigabit speeds. Through fiber-optic. And a fiber optic router connected as well through fiber optics. Yeah I know we're all jealous. Right . Bastard. We checked on several laptops.yap that works. And several other devices. All we're receiving at least 600 to 900Mbs all but my note 10.....
It tops out at 120mbs what is a Galaxy plan on doing to fix this. My old phone did much better than that. Maybe I got a bed phone so I take it back to T-Mobile they give me a new one. Same thing. Tops out at 120 megabits per second. I'm thoroughly pissed I thought Galaxy was supposed to have a superior product.

Yep; that's correct,Note 10 Wi-Fi problems. Now you would think Galaxy would want to be superior. But no... they took a step back instead of progressing they digressed . With the recent note 10 flagship. Myself and other customers like me have all started to realize that their Wi-Fi sucks on this device. When asked to comment from Galaxy. We got no response. Tested on both gigabit equipment 10 100 equipment from cable modem to fiber optics all tests were the same . the throughoutput on these things absolutely suck. My lower end cellphones do a lot better. Now the question is Galaxy what are you going to do about this? did I really just spend $900 on a piece of crap. You took a step backwards in technology and for what reason?

I think this is dependant on the channel the your note 10 has connected to most devices connects to Channel 11 based on what is has gathered from your router, however, if not this maybe a hardware limitation or hardware issue...I have a note 10+ and it does have a SD card but your paying for a lower end version of the Note 10

WestCoastRomS For Google Devices

Eric Harper said:
Pixel and XL all the way up. Should be pretty universal. You can add about any google device by using the aosp manifest to create a local. Been swamped at work so its all finally coming together. I have a few xml kinks to work out in custom vendor, so I have not added identity to remotes yet. But until this coming week The base can be synced. Ill post when vendor and tweaks drop and a quick re sync will take care of the rest

Oh, I will stick with PIE until 10 becomes a little more stable. Its really buggy on boot and does not like Custom recovery just yet. Once I can impliment TWRP into 10 ill merge in

Interesting how noone helped you with this thread in 4 1/2 years. I have the same problem. I'll wait a couple of winters and hope to be alive then.

Perhaps no one helped because the people who can help didn't see it on this board. :)

If you're having the same problem, or really any issue involving app development, you might want to post in our Android Development board. That's where developers--and aspiring developers--usually hang out. :D

Bluetooth Serial Monitor for Arduino

A
This is how I am currently taking the information from the SD card and transmitting it over bluetooth:

(I have confirmed it works by installing an app called 'Arduino bluetooth controller' and using its built in terminal which basically is the functionality I am looking for, but without the key the capability of either being able to save the terminal as a txt file or being able to copy the txt on the terminal and then paste it into a txt file myself.)

#include <SD.h>
#include <SPI.h>

File myFile;
String strRead,str;
const int chipSelect = 10;

void setup()
{

Serial3.begin(9600);

Serial3.println("Initializing...");

if (!SD.begin(chipSelect))
{
Serial3.println("SD FAIL");
while(1);
}
Serial3.println("SD DONE");

myFile = SD.open("fuellog.txt");

if (myFile)
{
Serial3.println("fuellog.txt:");

while (myFile.available())
{
strRead = myFile.readString();

Serial3.print(strRead);

//myserial.write(Serial3.read());
}

myFile.close();
}
else
{
Serial3.println("SD FAIL READ");
}
}

void loop()
{

Question about Moto E4 owens Blutooth issue.

coacharnold
OK I got a crazy bug happening to me and I can't sort it out. Your litterally my last stop in sorting this.

So, I'm running Incipient 14.1-20180902 Unofficial-owens on my Moto E-4-plus .. Its been running great.

A few months ago (July), i got a new car. A 2016 VW Golf with a super cool infotainment system. I paired my phone before leaving the dealer. Phone synced up perfect. Off to the races.

About 2 weeks ago, I was driving listening to audio vie the phone Bluetooth and I lost my connection. "No big deal, I'll re-pair it when i get home" i said

I got home, did the re-pair, and saw that I could change my cars's bluetooth ID . I thought I would be cheeky and change the name of the car to "Tim's VW" . no big deal. THUS began my troubles.

In renaming the car I screwed up the relationships already stored in the car and the phone. I couldn't get the phone to re-pair. It continually came up with a "wrong pass-key" error on the phone. I banged my head on a wall for about an hour - factory - reset the car system which set the name back to the default , my phone immediately paired and all was good... I thought.

I then discovered that my phone contacts hadn't synced. I jumped into settings and had to "check" the contact box in the blue tooth settings.... ok ... should be good togo? nope! ... no contacts ...

I have erased and re erased Bluetooth settings, cache etc etc on the phone.. factory wiped the car a couple times. The phone connects to the car fine, even syncs text messages... still no contacts. I took the car into VW, hoping it was a car issue... nope, they were able to connect and sync an iphone and another android...

So I'm left with the issue being my phone...... I'm lost. Do any of you have any thoughts at all? I'd rather not wipe the phone and start again ... but i'm going nutz
