And another

You're putting too much attention on that Wyze app and not on the actual problem. You need to get your phone connected to your WiFi network in order for that app, or any app, to be able to connect to your local network. That app cannot function if your phone isn't set up properly, it's your phone that needs to detect and connect to your home network.
In your case, I'd strongly recommend you just hire a local IT person to come out and set up your router for you. If you're averse to this, just keep in mind that your home network needs to be set up in a safe and secure way, today's Internet is a very, very hazardous entity so for you and your family it's important not to skimp on this. Look at this as a long-term investment, not just an expense. Once it's set up and functioning, adding things like a security camera will be a lot less of hassle.

The button is acting as the volume down button would on headphones with buttons in the cable, with a button mapper app then using it as a back button instead. In poweramp, I can't see any setting which specifically disables audio output via the headphones, as it seems it just depends on android itself to work out where to send the audio. The button works great all the time, but every so often the phone can't decide if headphones are plugged in or not, so then can't decide on where to route the audio. It's a shame I can't wire a button in another way. :-(

Just an update for app disabler.

Since disabling the troublesome apps my battery is getting much better. No more 30% drain.

So happy with this app.

hmm i dont know how to do it

My US Android 8.0.0 Sprint Version doesn't show Nova Launcher usage either. I just installed my favorite battery usage app, Battery Widget Reborn! so maybe I'll have some info early tomorrow morning.

Given the fact that the fairly new distribution type app bundles require Googe services does or is affecting open source (AOSP)? I am aware that the developers of apps has a choice and the advantages that provides the developers. Smaller apps and let Google fill in the rest seems to less work. What do you think?

You have an app that has adware attached to it. Go to settings, apps & notifications, app info and find optional apps and turn them off. See if that helps.

Hi,I bought Samsung A50 recently.one month ago it fell on swimming pool.But I removed the water from the phone and its working.But the issue is when making phone calls sim get undetected.Even when making whats app calls sim get undetected and it shows insert sim prompt. If hands-fee is plugged in, this issue is not there. Using data and sending messages all works fine.Only when making calls without hands-free sim get undetected.I dont understand where is the issue.I tried factory reset and hard reset still the issue is there.

any kind of troubleshooting on phones, you look to answer two main questions. is it a hardware or software issue. if you do a factory reset and nothing happens then that answers the software question which can only mean that it is a hardware issue. looks like it will need to be fixed on the inside of the phione.

Thanks Danny. But, out of curiosity, what is the explanation of why, when I warm it up, the screen returns to normal until it cools down?

Some electronic faults can be temperature dependant. Often in electronic circuit fault finding, one might use freezer spray and a heat gun to chill and heat suspect components, like transistors, diodes, etc.

As an update to this, I figured out the problem.
It had nothing to do with what the default video player was, it was more about permissions.
So at a certain OS level, http sites are no longer accessible, only https. To bypass this restriction, you need to place the following in your manifests file:

Hope this helps someone. The only reason why I found this out was because my phone decided to do an update, and thereafter my phone couldn't play what it used to be able to play. Coincidence!

ah i see ... right - i just close em cause i find the switcher a bit of a pain if there are too many things open ... plus i dont want stuff like email and other secured apps being able to be viewed from switcher screen ... but that is just me being overly secure about things

.... i do like that swipe on the bar to switch apps feature ... ie you dont even have to open the switcher view

Thats not good, I agree with Handron , it does sound like its a hardware problem. My stepfather has an S8 and I have taken it off the charger many times and dont recall it being hot. Seem like a motherboard problem.

As far as data being deleted but folder and names remains nothing to worry about.. However, the fact that "several (but not all)" were gone is a bit odd. I wouldn't have thought of it myself but onbrze bring up a very good point.

huh?

Trying OpenSignal on 3 smartphones and a tablet (without a SIM):

Model Cell ID LAC Dir Tower
Optus X: 177035542 37265 NW Optus wrong
Samsung : 43021 7046 N Optus wrong
ZTE Blade: 146506497 28792 S Telstra
Xgody V7: no towers
Can anyone find these Cell Ids or LACs?

Most printers are very proprietary now so if the manufacturer doesn't allow support (driver/firmware) for a product to developers, that makes things a lot more difficult to use that particular printer usable as a universally accessible one. Years ago you could often get by using a generic laserprinter/ghostscript driver to at least have basic printing functionality. Now that printers have all kinds of branded services tied to them, that workaround rarely applies.
I'd still look into setting up that printer using Google's Cloud Print service, unless you're in a situation like a health service organization where things like sending client sensitive data up into miscellaneous online servers isn't an option.

There are various options for a high contrast screen which is not the issue. High contrast font is a very strange experiment that involves something like a outline font with a white outline. It is completely unreadable when it becomes small. It's very hard to read even at a large size. Somehow this has turned on and it should not be on.

Unless you did actually add in your home WiFi network previously, since it's a first time usage situation the phone won't be connecting to any WiFi connection, and once you pulled the SIM card out that also removes any access to a cellular connection. With no online access that phone cannot authenticate itself to any Google account.
Since you were able to get it past that initial set up process, confirm your home WiFi network is established (try rebooting your router if there's a problem) and/or put the SIM back in and check that it's detected (look in the Settings menu). Reboot the phone and try again, the phone does need some kind of online connectivity and you'll need to add in an active Google account to continue using it.

New update

So I've not seen this before. I keep getting notification that I have voicemail.
ON A CELL NUMBER THAT IS NOT MINE.
Never seen that phone number in my life.
Obviously, I can't get rid of it. I can't get into it. It's not my number. I don't have a password.
And I cannot get it to stop notifying me of it.
How do I get this ridiculous notification to go away permanently?

Thank you guys for your input! I've had the phone a couple of years and had last week done a reset when it started acting up, and then this voicemail number thing cropped up and popped up every day. I thought I'd been all over this phone and the settings (I literally use it so little and have uninstalled and disabled most all the apps since I don't use them, and it's my hotspot so I can use my phone that way anywhere I go), but I found deep in settings something I'd never seen. I clicked on a voicemail setting and it sent me to a window I'd never seen before that listed my voice mail phone number. And there was the wrong one! I have no idea how in the world it changed to a totally strange, unknown phone number when I did the reset. Before that, it had always used the correct number. But I just deleted it and entered the right one and voila' - everything is fixed. But....wow, I can't imagine something so strange can happen to a phone.
Thanks again! (And no, the phone was new and nothing changed in 2 years till the reset last week.)

Hi,

This is my first app. I know that it's easy to violate against the policies at the beginning which I did. The support has also sent me an image marking the area in the app which violated. Then yesterday I republished my app with version 1.0.2 with all violations removed which have been told me.
Today I am receiving an email containing the same violations as in version 1.0. He has also attached the same image showing the same violations, that the version he had screenshot from version 1.0.

So now for my question. How come that they reject me always because version 1.0 is violating against their policies? How do I remove the oldest version? Why don't they review the newest version only? Am I overlooking something? Is it because I am uploading an .aab file and not an .apk?

Thanks in advance.
Yours truly

I'm sure what you're after can be done, but you're most likely to get help with it by posting on our Android Development board. This thread can be moved there, or you can just re-post.

Those may be communications to the cell towers, whether or not calls are made

Just to add, your Verizon monthly bill will show phone calls that were answered but any phone call that was not answered won't show up, thankfully they don't charge anything just for attempts. The phone's log will show any call whether the recipient answers or not (and any call coming in even if he doesn't answer) but as far as Verizon, it only registers phone calls that involve actual usage on the cellular network.
