you can flash a firmware update, but that is different. i think you will need a pc to do that. i think that is what @mikedt is talking about. never heard of an update done over wifi straight to the phone before.

Every Android phone I've had, has had OTA updates downloaded and installed via WiFi. And I thought that was the default with Android devices, to download OTA updates via WiFi, Mainly because WiFi might be more reliable for large downloads, plus something like 2-3GB of Pie update, would really eat into limited data plans, and could cost serious $$$.

I've got a Samsung here, that's been receiving OTA updates and there's no SIM in it.

Some carrier-locked phones might require a carrier SIM and service for initial activation and registration, before they receive OTA updates. But the OP has an unlocked Huawei Honor, which should be okay.

Try clearing data and cache for the Google Play Music app, also check for any updates.

Yes, it would be a good idea at this stage to contact Verizon as the connection issue could very well exist at their end.

Ok thank you for your help.

Well, you can do it vicariously with this cute glimpse of 50 years of Abbey Road photos. Some even take their shoes off!

This article describes the photographer as a modest man, and explains how the photo shoot was done.

One of the articles says that thousands of people descend on that famous crosswalk daily to recreate the album photo.

Hey, Mike, can you answer this question? What do the zig-zag traffic lines on the streets in England mean? Examples are visible in some of the contemporary Abbey Road photos. My daughter lived in London for a year after college, and I remember asking her this...but I don't remember what she said.

The white zig-zags mean no parking and stopping. Intended to create a safe zone around pedestrian crossings where lines of sight for both pedestrians and drivers are not impaired by parked vehicles.

I believe they were introduced in the early 70s, after the original Sgt Pepper photo was taken.

like everything is black and white? if so i do not recall a setting for something like that. i do not have your phone so i could be wrong, but i do not see a reason to go just black and white. try a factory reset and see if it is still b&w.....if so then yeah something is wrong with the screen.

make this a lesson learned. always have a nandroid back handy on your sd card and even on your computer. this way if you mess up somehow, you have a backup someplace. as long as you have twrp or other custom recovery you are golden.

just remember that nandroid backups are your best friends.

Have you tried just restarting your router? Maybe there's a problem with its DHCP, and it needs clearing. Check the phone and tablet IP addresses in their settings, should be either 192.168.*.* or 10.*.*.*. They might be connected to the router but haven't been allocated an IP address by it, like it might be 0.0.0.0.

yup I already did.

Hadron said:

Even that seems to be defeating the point. Admittedly you need the lock screen password to get in and disable it, but why on Earth exclude significant anti-theft security from people who are daft enough to leave the phone unlocked?

My respect for Google is shakey anyway, but you've just knocked it further...

well now days with most flagship phones at least you have biometrics needed to unlock phones......which is an upgrade to the lock screen pin or pattern. i do not have to worry about my phone getting stolen and getting used unless they somehow get my finger or face.

Here us my full review if this controller you can buy the controller i reviewed in the video here: https://ebay.us/FwYdZ8


I just bought this new Gamepad and do a review on it as well



You can buy it here: https://ebay.us/mw0eAP

I guess I may have classified 6 months as rapid

You know, after rereading my own comment--"is only ≈6 months old, but for months I've noticed screen burn-in"--I've reconsidered my response. Yes, it -did- come on quickly.

At ≈6 months, it had already been [unnamed] months since first noticing it. I don't know now how many months I meant, but if it was 3, that means it started at ≈3 months--and that's pretty fast. And if I meant 5...well, that's REALLY fast! Especially considering what I've stated about its use.

I'm currently running a 2 year old AMOLED with no issues.

I actually wrote about that phone being a lemon (in the Z² board). It's the first and only phone that's ever given me problems. I consider it a fluke, and it hasn't changed my loyalty to Motorola. Really, it strengthened it--because of how they handled the situation.

Dual shock any solutions? Thing doesn't even light up but does in my pc

Controller is

Not sure just what icon you're looking into but if you go to their respective Play Store pages their icons are shown, or use the Play Store app to go to their sites.

dang, ~ I guess it didn't post
thank you! it was viber

I recently got the Bold N1 also and received the first phone call on it. Speakerphone seemed too quiet. Settings >> Sound >> Sound enhancement >> BesLoudness (Volume booster for speaker) helped a little.

I then tried using the included earbuds with integrated microphone, and the volume was still low.

Regarding the Call Volume in the Sound settings being quieter than Media, Ring, and Alarm on your Pixel 3, that's the case on my Essential PH-1 too (and Bold N1) too. BUT that seems to be because the sound is coming out of the earpiece and is representative of if you are taking a call holding the phone up to your ear. It is not representative of the speakerphone volume.

Despite that "low" Call Volume, the Essential's speakerphone is sufficiently loud. I'm guessing your Pixel 3's speakerphone is sufficiently loud too?

Back to the Bold N1, I'm unsure if the volume on my one phone call was a fluke or not. At least the other person was able to hear me fine and signal strength (Google Fi, which uses T-Mobile) was much stronger than the Essential's, which would often lose connection from where I was calling.

Did you ever come up with a resolution to your speakerphone volume issue?

Haven't tried yet. But watch I'll bring it back to store and it won't do what its doing In front of them plus I'm not paying no fees stocking or anything if they have to replace it hell no.

I factory reset phone and so far its focused every time. Hopefully will stay that way

As an ordinary app developer, I don't think so. This would have to be done within the operating system configuration.

In fact it would be incredibly dangerous if the system let any old developer do this: do you really want adware or just malfunctioning apps that can't be killed? And if it were available like that you can be sure that malware and adware would use it.

The IP address is always assigned by the Internet provider. That's true whether it's WiFi or cellular. If you are on your home WiFi network you will have a local IP address on that network, which is different from your router's IP address (and a website you visit should see the router's address rather than your phone's address within your home network).

It's possible that person you spoke to was confused between your IP address and your phone's MAC address (which is an identifier for the hardware device on whatever network you connect to). It's also possible that they just said something to fob you off - sadly this is not uncommon (either deliberately or because they don't like saying "I don't know").

Welcome to Android Forums. Sadly, I don't know this phone, but I'm hoping someone does.

We want to help, but when someone posts just two words for their first post, that makes the community believe we have encountered just another spammer, so please elaborate. Thank you.

Try this link for advice for your phone, with step by step instructions. Welcome to Android Forums!

It could be a hardware issue, my friend. No resetting will help that. You have an old phone. Good luck.

You can edit your title to avoid confusion.

Thanks to you both for the advice. I think I need to 'bite the bullet' and buy a new 'phone.

Hello all,

I use my left thumb to hit the spacebar. The emjoi button is on the left side of the spacebar and I ALWAYS hit that stupid emoji button instead of the spacebar.

iPhone you can manage your keyboard and move buttons around. Gboard you cannot. I do not want to use the 'one hand' because the letters are then too small. All I want to do is move the emjoi button to the other side of the spacebar and the spacebar over. I also tried hiding the emjoi button in the options but then it just turns that button to a comma.

I tried developer options, RTL but that doesn't change the Gboard, but it changes other stuff.

Any suggestions?
