Here's the reply from the seller -
Hello, we purchase these as overstock inventory from liquidation companies since they've been discontinued. The phone should be new. Please feel free to return the phone or we can provide a partial credit of $20 if you decide to keep it instead. Thank you

I also called a local phone repair shop to ask them about this situation. Once again the issue was, the IMEI number is the same on the box, the setting page and under the battery. The serial number is not on the box, and the serial number on the setting page is different from the serial number under the battery. So, the guy at the repair shop said he wouldn't be concerned about the serial numbers being different because the IMEI is what's important.

I'm still listening to what you guys say. (I'm sure you know more than I do) Otherwise I might just give this new phone a try.

I really appreciate the replies.

I would keep the phone. As long as you don't have issues with it working the serial numbers being different don't matter.

1. Since I'm really new to app development, I'd really prefer to work with easier/more popular language and tools
2. It's mainly targeted for Android but wider implementability is of course welcomed
3. The app doesn't need to look amazing or dynamic-ish

Click to expand...

1. The most widely used and supported language is Java. Android Studio is the standard IDE for app development, though there are other IDEs.
2. If android is the target, then you're limited to android and ios. To develop for both platforms from one code base you'll need to use Visual Studio Code with the Xamarin plugin instead of Android Studio.
3. That's fine, but it is recommended to at least stick to google's Material Design guidelines.

Before you dive into android apps, it is recommended to learn the basics of java first or you're really gonna struggle. Once you've learned some java, then dive right in with Android Studio and make a simple first app to get you going.

In the app development board that MoodyBlues linked you to above, there's some sticky threads at the top. Look through those threads for some really useful info.

As for myself, I work with Java(amongst others) and use Android Studio for android and Intelli J for the Linux desktop.

Cheers

How well does photo storage to cloud work?

That question does bring up a significant aspect when it comes to Android vs. iPhone. With your iPhone you have a backup/restore/migrate solution that's already implemented with your device. Everything gets uploaded into your online iCloud account where if needed you just restore your phone if some problem does occur, and/or you can easily just migrate your old iPhone's user set up onto a new iPhone. With Android however, we're stuck with setting up our own backup solutions, and in the event we need to migrate from an old phone to a new one, there may or may not be easy solutions to do this successfully. (i.e. If you do opt to get a Samsung, you can use Samsung's Smart Switch utility to do full backups and restores, and migrate from one phone to another which works out better if both are supported Samsung phones. But the process is still not as seamless and thorough as iCloud. (This does highlight a notable difference between the two platforms, where Apple has almost complete control over its hardware and software, along with fundamental services, while Android is much more diverse with Google only having control over the Android OS and numerous manufacturers, carriers, and retailers inserting themselves into a less structured environment.) Also keep in mind not all the different brands of Android phones have similar backup/restore/migrate services. There are several third-party utilities in the Play Store that are developed independently that are worth looking into, but that will be matter of always doing a little research on any app you install on your own to validate its credibility and actual functionality. Google does screen out a lot of crapware from its Play Store on a continuous basis, just as Apple does in its online Apple Store, but not everything submitted by the miscreants can be found and revealed immediately so just be a little cautious about what you do install on your own.
But getting back to your query regarding online photo storage, there are well established services that work quite well. The Google Photos app is a popular choice, it's basically a photo manager app up front, but it's ability to do backups and syncing of your photo library up into your online Google account in the background is a big plus. This gives you the ability to always be able to access your photo library from either your phone or using a web interface on any web browser. If you're wary of handing too much of your data to Google, there are of course apps for other third party file sharing services like Dropbox, SpiderOak (a privacy focused service), OneDrive, etc. If you're an Amazon Prime subscriber, the online Amazon Drive is included at no extra charge (up to 5GBs).
Oh and regarding your wife amassing lots of photos, if she's just using the free, default iCloud storage capacity of 5GBs, with Android, the free, default is 15GBs.

I wish I could show you a photo but the last time I tried to upload one there was that error message again.

That error looks like it's here to stay, so if you want to upload images, you're going to have to make them smaller. This is a trivial task in most image/photo editors, but if you need help, just ask!

As an aside, you say it might have changed when you had it repaired at some time. Do you know what the repair was? If they replaced the motherboard then the IMEI would have changed then. That's the only reason I can think it could happen legitimately.

It's possible that your problem may have arisen because someone else changed their IMEI. Some people do that when they've got theirs blocked (e.g. by stopping paying a contract, or because they bought a stolen phone), and if you were unlucky and someone cloned your IMEI then it would be blocked once this was detected. That's only a hypothesis, and it may be something simpler (including a typo when someone was trying to block a different number - nothing is impossible). But your service provider is the best outfit to talk to about a phone block anyway.

Youmail doesn't work well with prepaid plans. They even mention it in the app description. Verizon doesn't even give me access to their new call blocking and visual voicemail apps on the prepaid plan. Plus I don't like the registering process. The apps that worked perfect on Oreo were install and forget. Thank you for the recommendation though.

Why bother? Remove or disable apps you don't use, install your favourite music player, fill your home screen with a player widget from it. Job done.

Anyway, the answer is no. Even if you could get a system image for a music player the hardware is different so it wouldn't work.

Hi all. After the August update the samsung camera app (9.0.01.55) started working again. I am not sure if it was coincidence or not. Now I am on samsung camera app (9.0.01.63).

Hello friends,
In Instagram, I want to show a list of those who have followed before and left the follow-up. I think I need the user's followers first. *one
And I want to be able to show a list of other users that are blocking the user. There are mobile apps that do this. *2nd
I've been researching what data Instagram gave us to solve these two problems. However, I could not reach a clear solution.
I will do the project in Android Studio, I know how to send a request with retrofit. For these two issues, exactly what URL do I need to send a request to, what can I do, ... can you give me some ideas, advice and suggestions on my research?
Below are some Instagram URLs which can help me? I guess I'm not very good at determining that, can you please help me?
https://github.com/postaddictme/instagram-php-scraper/blob/master/src/InstagramScraper/Endpoints.php

I used
in onCreateView -> setHasOptionsMenu(true)
onActivityCreated -> (activity as AppCompatActivity).setSupportActionBar(toolbarProfileSearch)
solved.

Well it just came in, so far it's very well packaged and here is my thoughts in it

It has a great feel to it when you hold it in your hand with the Note 10+ the ports are not blocked and are easily accessible, the buttons for volume and Bixby feels very nice when you press it down.

The sides and all around the Note 10+ doesnt feel all bulky in my hand that I had to deal with my old case, and it's perfect size, the only complaint I have is where the ports are feels kinda bumpy

Hi.
I have setup my Redmi Note 4 - for calling with void (standard phone app).
Incoming calls are working fine.
But I cannot use voip for outgoing calls.
There is no button or setting that I can choose between sim and voip.

Can someone tell me what I have to change?

Thanks Egon

I'd suggest to just be connected to the internet and use SDK manager to update/install required Android SDK's.
Try to Sync gradle again and follow the instructions that appear when it fails. Android Studio can automatically download required files for syncing.

I also think so. Use the SDK Manager.

Wow! nice, Thanks!

geeze how many gmail accts do you have? LOL

have you tried just wiping cache and even data(you will need to re-sign in if you do that)?

meh....i use chrome

hmmmm interesting. not sure what that could mean for your note 9.....im glad i waited for the note 10+......was going to get a note 9, but i liked my note 8 and did not see the need to upgrade.

re booting the phone does the same thing?
