Spam messages? Just a guess, as I don't use Google messaging myself.

nope not yet.....lg has locked the bootloader and will not hand out the keys to unlocking it, unfortunately.

please read my last post on the thread:
https://androidforums.com/threads/how-to-root-lg-stylo-4-sprint.1294766/

also visit the links.

for future references, always heads on over to xda for anything root related. if you see a subforum for your device and it has another subsection for roms and rooting...you are golden. no subsections means that there is no dev community and i doubt you will see root gained.

just remember:
no devs=no fun

Yeah if app spread enough online and get high enough users for app then you can think about deep link otherwise it's not necessary. Early stage of app you should focus on branding and marketing for increase app installs that's it for all.

The issue still hasn't resolved in the app though as concerns seeing the Ignore, but I guess a work-around is better than nothing.

I suspect the developer(Facebook) needs to properly fix their app, along with all their other broken things.

I have a great assumption that my phone has spyware, but having difficulty locating it so I can remove it. My Gmail was hacked several months ago and I discovered my email address was attached to someone's Google Cloud. It showed my boyfriend's email address as the owner and mine listed under parental control. He denies allegations. He knows information about me from my text, email, calls, and messages that I have not shared with him. I downloaded a couple different apps to show me information about apps installed on my phone, but I don't know what to look for. I understand spy apps can be disguised, but not sure as to what. My battery drains quickly, my phone powers off an on by itself, it even makes weird notification sounds even though I turned all notifications off. Please help.

I'm dealing with the same issue. As of today, I've been trying to rid myself of this individual and situation for over 9 months. No law enforcement will take the time to help and the people I've paid to help me ripped me off. NEVER EVER SEND YOUR DEVICES TO DIGITAL FORENSICS CORPORATION. I know what you're going through and how maddening it is. Just wanted you to know you aren't crazy and you aren't alone.

I would suggest the next time this happens go to your settings, scroll through your list of apps to the malfunctioning one and hit force close. It will give you a warning about it may misbehave but ignore that. Force closing an app is like a reboot for it, especially if clearing the cache fails to rectify the issue.

If you look through the Settings menu in your phone there should be an option for Airplane mode with the enable/disable toggle next to it. In the phone I'm looking at now it's in the Settings >> Wireless & networks >> More menu. On yours, it will probably also be buried inside nested menus and using different naming but still have to be similar.

I found a solution! I was able to disable Mobile ID, Sprint Installer and Connections Optimizer! Hallelujah

It is called CCSWE App Manager Pro!

I disabled them and they are no longer on the app list in System preferences.

And no rooting involved.

Pro version was $2.49 and well worth it!

APKMirror claims to be store the same APKs that Google uploads into its Play Store so if you don't trust them, or any other similar sites like apkpure, I don't know what else to suggest if you only want to rely on open source apps from sources like F-Droid:
https://www.apkmirror.com/faq/
According to Wikipedia, Mega did release some of its source code, only for client-side software, a few years ago. Looking at its Github page there is source code available if you want build your own apk package:
https://github.com/meganz/

OMG, THANK YOU SO SO MUCH FOR THIS BUILD, PLEASE FIX THE CAMERA

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.

Click to expand...

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?
