You solve it, I'll pay!!!

I believe the only solution is to reset chrome. Now you should be able to do this without losing your bookmarks.
  • Startup Chrome and make sure Sync Your Chrome data is switched on - if it's not turn it on and wait a few minutes for them to sync,
  • Next is to switch off Sync Chrome data,
  • Now go into the settings page of your phone, apps and force stop Chrome and clear the data,
  • Now startup Chrome once again and it will ask you to sign into your Google account and to turn on Sync - do so,
  • Over the next few minutes your bookmarks should sync.
If you want extra security you could sync your bookmarks to your PC'S Chrome.

Help Is there a way to backup and restore my chrome bookmarks on my phone without using a pc?

I'm using a new Google account but the old one i have has valuable bookmarks and google keep notes. Is there a way or an app that allows me to backup and restore my bookmarks?
So once downloaded how do you restore or add that data to another google account?
Just to be clear, you're going to be using a new Google account, correct? But you want it to use your old account's bookmarks and Keep notes, right?

Go to your Google Download your data page. Select the items you want to backup. Step through the process, specifying whatever's needed, such as where/how to receive the archived file.

I only did my Chrome bookmarks for this experiment; there are many other choices.

Make sure you choose Chrome's bookmarks; the 'Bookmarks' entry earlier in the list is not for Chrome.

It took a second or two to create the archive. I saved mine on my Drive, then moved it to one of my computers (so these tired old eyes could continue on a nice big screen!). You'll have to unzip the file, so put it somewhere where you can do that. Make note of where it unzips.

Using desktop Chrome, I chose its '3 dots' menu, then 'Bookmarks,' then 'Import bookmarks & settings.' I followed its prompts, navigating to, and selecting, the unzipped file, which is called bookmarks.html. It imported everything just fine.

To sum it up:

- logged in with your old account, create backups for the Google apps you want, as outlined above

- find and unzip the archive file

- log out of your old account

- logged in with your new account, open the app, e.g., Chrome, and find its 'import' option

- follow its prompts, navigating to the unzipped files and selecting the appropriate one for that app

That should do it.

PS I did much of this from memory. If anything's unclear, just ask! :)

Question about phones resistance to presses pressure

I just notice that most case, even the case that comes with phones are very hard to put on
I've never had a phone that came with its own case. :thinking: I've always bought my own, such as Otterbox Defender cases. They're generally easy to put on--tight, yes, but easy enough to put on--while taking them off can be something of a challenge!

If you're using a case that shipped with the phone, it should fit, and I wouldn't expect that to take much effort. If you bought a case yourself, are you sure it's for your exact model?

It's not supposed to be this difficult.

Hacked

My step dad got me this stylo 4 plus. Coostest thing ever right? WRONG! i dont no how he's doing it but has control over every thing i do on it. He can stop a download process and start another just as fast. Make my 'pre-installed pps' none function right. Iv checked all the normal spy apps bht nothing! Any suggestions?

What carrier are you on? He could possibly have a child guard app installed where he can monitor your phone.

SD card memory use?

What do you mean by "uses SD card memory"? Do you mean whether the app can store files on SD (e.g. photos, ebooks, maps), or whether the app itself can be (partially) moved to SD? These are quite different things. My first thought was that you meant the first of these, but then the second is a much more common question.

The simple answer to both questions is "if the developer wrote it that way". For the second question there's also the additional stipulation "if the phone's operating system supports doing that" (not all do).

If you mean the app's ability to write to SD, if the developer hasn't provided that there's nothing you can do. Since Android 5 the app has actually had to request the ability to write to anything more than a limited sandboxed area of the SD card, and if that particular API call isn't included in its code all you can do is ask the developer to add it.

If you mean moving the app to SD, then you could try enabling USB debugging, installing adb on a computer, and using the command:

adb shell pm set-install-location 2

That should allow you to move more apps than you can by default (I suggest doing a bit of reading to find out what that command actually does rather than typing it blindly). It will of course only work if moving to SD is supported by the phone, and it certainly won't allow you to move pre-installed apps. Remember that this is a legacy feature, and limited in what it moves (the apk and library components of the installed app, but no other elements of the installed app and not the app's settings, cache or other data), and you should not attempt to move any app whose widget you use (the widget will continue to work until the next time you reboot the phone, but will be broken after that unless you move the app back to internal).

Help Lost color code options on Google Calendar

I use the same Google Calendar on 2 identical phones (Motorola Turbo II) on Verizon. Suddenly today, my second phone no longer allows me to set up appointment with a choice of color code. The most noticeable difference I see on the new or edit appointment page is the absence of color code choice and another button with a Lock icon captioned "Calendar default." Appointments already on the calendar still allow editing of color code. I want to return the Calendar on that second phone to the original settings.

But I have been using my phone...

Yes I did and that made me feel a little better
Okay, that's good, because I don't think there's anything to worry about.
however now I'm a little more concerned because your screenshot doesn't show anything like mine so why does mine have it and no one else's?
Correction: no one who's popped in on this conversation. :)

There are a million reasons your options can be different from mine. If you look through any threads at random, where people have compared screenshots of various things, you'll find that they're almost never identical. The manufacturer, the specific device, the carrier, the Android version...lots of things can cause differences.

If you're still worried--and I don't think you should be--please post a few screenshots of these timestamps, and let us have a look at them.

MP3 files disappear from expansion card

Ahhh, so you're using the file manager app to locate and then play your music files. If you can see those mp3 files some of the time but not always that's probably because you're looking at directories in the internal storage media, not your microSD card. You might find the 'My Files' app more useful if you go into its Settings menu and tweak the options accordingly (if using it primarily to find your mp3 library on your card).

Accessories Note 10/10+ accessories

Did you get an iOttie mount? How is it doing?

yes and no......the iottie i order turned out to the nonwireless version. i need to send it back and get the right one.

however, the one that i have now actually does work. the issue that i have is that the phonegets quite hot while charging and i get a popup message saying that the charging is paused because the phone is too hot. i have to scoot the phone a bit so that the charging plates are not in contact and let the phone cool down. this does not happen a lot, but enough to annoy me.

Just wanted to say I've completed a long weekend away, with a 2½ hour drive in each direction plus multiple drives in between - with the phone connected to my watch and using the buds so my wife wasn't annoyed by the satnav voice, it still gained battery charge through the tough Armor case.

Probably not as much as a layer model would though, not sure what the output is.

Ar core model conversion with "beta scene-form android"
1) android studio shut down when converted model i.e. model.sfb viewed through window.
2) android studio did not show any texture on converted model it show a pale creamy color model.
3) applying texture on model pragmatically but this cause the problem with "renderable",
i.e. lightning effect,
4) model is not projecting by default when screen launches even when the method called multiple times. i.e. complteablefuture object in not completed normally.
5) same method will be called on onClick model is projecting by multiple clicks.
6) model projection problem is not happening when "android.sfb" is used for projection
