your welcome

MOTO E4 Play XT1768 Rooted with magisk/twrp. Runs briefly with 2.0 then reboots. Tried 2.1, constant boot loop. cannot find 2.2. Running stock 7.1.1 moto rom - no mods other for it being rooted

wifi calling ...yeah.

I'll ask them to look into this problem.Thank you all for giving smart suggestions.

I am not able to delete a Google device backup from my Galaxy S7 that appears under "Settings > Google > Restore Contacts". I can restore the backup so there is data in the backup. When I use a web browser to view my Google Contacts there is nothing there and when I view my Google Drive Backups there is nothing there.

I added the problematic Google account to a phone that has never had any of my data on it and the backup is still available to restore. Sounds like the problem might be with my Google account and not my device.

I have tried with no success...
Contacted Samsung.
Removed my Google account from the phone for a least 24 hours.
Turned device backup on then off (This is supposed to delete all backup data on Google server).
Factory Reset.
Contacted Google Drive support.
Posted to Google Forum about 1.5 months ago with no response.

Try a third-party camera app like Open Camera.

Thank you for your timely response. I took Dannydet's suggestion and am at the store. Thank you for being there for me when I really needed advise! I've installed your app....hopefully won't need it again, but will read it to keep a step ahead of problems

You can't. Plus taking it somewhere to get it fixed usually costs as much as a whole new TV from anywhere

Which is why you don't see any more TV repair shops, so even if you were so inclined there isn't really any "somewhere" to take it. The model for most modern consumer electronics is "disposable" and not "repairable" as in years past. It breaks, you throw it out and buy a new one.

That's a very, very generalized view and it's also really conditional. With Android the user is more responsible for their own usage and it involves a wider range of less monitored but more open services; with Apple, it provides a well protected, feature rich environment but you either conform to how and what Apple allows or you're simply excluded -- so you just need to be honest with yourself about how you want to use your mobile device. You've got two different platforms that have fundamental differences, but it's your choice on what suits your needs the best.
If all you're focusing on is security, Apple is probably better for you. If you have a more expansive approach to using a mobile device, look to Android. As far as all the verbage about Android being some kind of security disaster, keep in mind a lot of allegedly knowledgeable pundits also rely not on current experience but outdated legacy issues. If you want to do an Android <> Apple comparison, do it from a current, real-world approach so whatever decision on what to buy next is based on factual information, not just opinion.

Well, thanks for the valuable response. I'll check for the links you provided.

Did a factory reset and seems to be restarting fine now - settings don't reset.

Hello, I was just wondering if anyone knows how to transfer my phone number on my Samsung Galaxy J3 Prime to my LG Stylo 4?

I ended up having to start up a new contract with MetroPCS around 2-3 weeks ago for my LG Stylo 4, and had to choose a new phone number besides my old one. I was given a free phone because of a coupon the system gave me, and that is the Galaxy J3 Prime.

I planned on using the second phone as an MP3 player where I just download music to it and use my LG Stylo 4 as my main phone, but for some reason they put the new number on the new phone and only it has service, etc. My LG Stylo 4 has my old number, but I can only use it with wifi and can't make calls or send texts, and that's not what I wanted at all. So now I have the new (it's actually pretty old and a used phone, actually) phone with service and a new number, and my GOOD phone, the LG Stylo 4, is useless without wifi and I can't stand it.

I tried to look up if I'm able to change the phone number to my LG Stylo 4 from the Galaxy J3 Prime, but it said things about switching the batteries around and that's kind of hard to do considering you're able to take the battery out of the Galaxy, but not the LG Stylo.

Is this an issue I'm able to fix on my own, or do I need to head out to a MetroPCS store to do what I want?

There are some misconceptions in your query that make the matter of moving your phone number from one phone to another a lot more a hassle than it needs to be. Your phone number is directly tied to your cellular account, and it's the SIM card, not the battery, that retains your account info. The battery supplies power, it does not have any capability to store information or data.
And it won't be a matter of just moving your old SIM card from your old phone to your new phone won't work out as you're also switching carriers. Migrating your phone number from one carrier service to a different one has to be done by an interaction between those two carriers, you cannot do this on your own and there is no 'trick' or 'hack' to do this.
Also keep in mind that WiFi connectivity has nothing to do with cellular connectivity, both are wireless ways to get online access but they're also different and completely independent from each other. When you're having problems with WiFi connectivity, you need to look into ISP broadband and/or your router, when you're having problems with cellular (mobile data) that's a carrier matter.
So you can use WiFI connectivity for both of your phones, you can only have cellular service however only on one phone or the other. (... also note that phone service is tied to your cellular account, not WiFi, unless you're adding in WiFi Calling, a different issue).
But getting back to matter of switching carriers, you need to have your current carrier switch your phone number from your previous carrier.

My biggest problems right now is i don't have enough advanced basic catalysts to level up phoenix to tier 12..


... Granted thats a very specific problem... But one that's not as unique as you might have thought

No, I didn't say it was irrelevant. I said it wouldn't be relevant for me, and that we didn't know what the OP's requirements were and so we didn't know that it was suitable for them.

I was simply responding to the statement that it would simplify the search if the OP dropped the wired connection. My point was simply that this isn't necessarily true, and I used myself as an example to show that Chromecast wasn't a universal alternative to a wired connection. I apologise for not making that clear enough.

You might also try browsing through the interesting forum topics on the B4A (basic for Android) website. Like your entry, most of the topics are started by members' questions. You don't have to be a member to view the questions and answers.

In addition to that suggestion, Udemy.com has an Android Studio class (as in school class) which I just started after trying B4A for a year.

Thanks for the link Shelby, ill definately will check the forum out. I did the free intro course (basic for Android) and it was very helpful although I haven't registered for the paid version. At the moment im working though Android fundamentals https://codelabs.developers.google....t-a/index.html?index=../../android-training#0

it sounds like something went wrong with the update. it could be either from the download or when it installed......something is not right. have you tried clearing cache and data for all google apps?

maybe try using the phone in safe mode and see if that works.....however, i think you might end up having to do a reset.

Turns out it wasn't a technical issue. While rechecking my ids aand settings i saw a notice that my payment account wasn't set up.

Pretty sure I remember doing that, but whatever. I set that up and now I have ads.

clear your defaults for the app

yep can't wait to check it out.......nits and all.

Hi!
Was anything else found on this?
I’ve in mine File Manager a foulder called ”.chat_temp”.
I deleted the file and i’ve asked someone to text me.
I open the message, but i don’t find more the folder”.chat_temp” on my file manager.

I don’t have snapchat.
I only have whatsapp and the stock android messanger!

Sorry for my bad English but i’m italian!

Thank you

There is one more new feature custom greeting cards. Just try it.

However I should add that you cannot track a phone unless it has an active internet connection and also has a tracking program installed and active. So if they have reset the phone FRP will stop them using it, but you won't be able to track it. And unfortunately if they have reset the phone your information is gone. I'm sorry if this post is very pessimistic, but this is the reality.

It's also an urban myth that you can track a phone using the IMEI. It's true that when it connects to a cellular network they see the IMEI of the device, so they know what cell towers it is connected to, which gives a rough coordinate (not a precise one). But they won't provide that information to you (if the police consider it important enough they would provide it to them, but that's unlikely for a simple phone theft), and there is no way that anyone else can use the IMEI to track a phone.

If you have something like Google location history enabled you might however be able to track where it was until the point where it was taken off the network or reset. And if you have Google's app and web activity logging enabled (they like this to be the default) it might be possible to find where the last call was made - ironically this ability is one of the reasons I disabled all of that stuff (to me it's a backdoor to Google tracking me).

A paperclip gives yiou a ready-dulled edge

Try a different message app. There's nothing special about the Google one anyway, and if it won't work on your phone it's no use to you.

Any chance of getting this up again? Really miss the high scores, still play it regularly.

I have been using Nova Launcher Prime for years - It has never altered my notifications in any manner. The ONLY thing you can change regarding notifications via Nova Launcher is to add Notification Badges and 'Hide the Notification Bar' .....

Have you checked your 'DO NOT DISTURB' settings?? Based on your description - your basically describing exactly what the 'Do Not Disturb' function does. It hides/stops all notifications until you pick up the phone, or until a certain pre-programmed time.


Hope this helps,
