Welcome to AF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

best answer yet:

has it always done this? maybe try clear cache and even data for you music app or any app you are using your headphones

so looks like the backup and restore feature is only thru the app. you can buy a new gear watch download the app and restore your settings from the previous watch.

So you want to be able to take files from the computer and put them on your phone? And you're blocked from doing that via USB cable? Is that correct?

One word: AirDroid. There's no need to install anything on the computer; just use a web browser to connect to the phone.

I don't belong here, in a window$ thread, so if I've totally misconstrued things, just tell me to take a hike.

Something I've had with AirDroid, and it may affect its use here as @dontpanicbobby is in a work environment? Some WiFi does not allow devices to communicate directly with each other. Home WiFi is usually OK, but corporate, public, hotel, etc. WiFi often doesn't. AirDroid requires that devices and computers to be able to communicate directly with each other via the WiFi for direct transfers.

You'll know when you scan the AirDroid QR code...

This was on hotel WiFi. and both my phone and Macbook were definitely connected to the same WiFi AP

AirDroid will still work if you do login to an AirDroid account, but any file transfers are uploaded to AirDroid's servers and then downloaded again to the other device or computer over the internet, and NOT directly device to computer.

yeah my note 4 most likely needs a new battery, but it is stuffed someplace in my drawer. i pulled it out to try and use as an mp3 player to no avail.....i keep forgetting to get a new battery for it.

....right now my thoughts have been for the new note 10+ coming out. no room for other phones at the moment....LOL

It is amazing

Nope. A faulty design on the photo log in, Simple I will not have it open, and just click on it.

thanks i knew that about the cd i just made mention of it. and i know i can't make a 2.0 usb into a 3.0 usb i have the 2.0 port in the phone and the phone supports 2.0 only. some of the youtubes are saying this can be done and they claim to be doing it but i'm now leaning towards these being scams. but if someone here says it can be done and proves it then i may have things to do to get it to work. again thanks for that help. it looks like i have more work to do yet if this is going to work. some are telling me i need a tablet that has 6.0 or above on it but being my phone has 7.0 i said 8.0 my mistake it has 7.0 and this dongle fails to work better i think it may be internal to the devices like your saying. thanks much.

i did some looking and discovered that i was not using an otg device. must be something to the otg device. so i will get one and try it to see. plus i need 6.0 to get it to work. so if it works on the phone then i will get a tablet and run my tinycam on the new tablet. thanks

Just more of a trivia matter but Freeform is a trademarked name of a TV channel going back to the late 70's:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeform_(TV_channel)
and also an app on the Play Store for its streaming content service:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.disney.datg.videoplatforms.android.abcf&hl=en_US

No idea about that, I'm using AS - but yeah, you need to get an .apk if you want to run an app.

I'm also a bit concerned about your app, though - How are you loading the relevant APIs? How are you testing the app? I'm not familiar with the tool you're using, but is it designed to create android apps? Do you have an emulator to test it on?

I'll leave other questions about it for more advanced developers here.

mate are you sure that your oppo phone have that feature ?

@mikedt

If you haven't restarted both your phone and your router, keep in mind any fixes you attempt at this point may or may not be necessary. Eliminate probable sources first and then if the same problem is still there, work your way back to determine what's going on.

Just an FYI that you replied to a thread that was over a year old, so they're probably all set by now, one way or another.

Definitely go through the process of re-flashing this phone. Given it's a hand-me-down and the current Android install on it is corrupted you really want to return it to its former, clean, first time used state. You wouldn't want to use it not knowing what might have been left on it even if it was running properly.
That said, it's a relatively dated model with low hardware specs:
https://www.devicespecifications.com/en/model/41ca42a2
With only 512MB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage, and a low res screen those are limiting factors for something like a daily usage phone. If you take it somewhere to have it serviced, weigh your options on how much money you want to spend on it to get it working again.

OK, given that this sporadic Notifications issue is only limited to your home LAN and that its affecting two different devices that indicates the issue is likely to be with your router.
-- What kind of router do you have? An ISP-supplied modem/router unit or do you have your own, discrete router? If the former, who is your ISP? If the latter, what model router is it?
-- Is distance between either phone and your router a factor when Notifications fail? Do you connect one or both using a 2.4GHz or 5GHz band network? (A very general rule that involves a lot of overlap is a 2.4Ghz band network will have longer effective range, a 5GHz band network more bandwidth.)
-- Is your router physically located in a relatively open spot or is it buried under a desk or something like that? Generally you'll get a better, wider coverage range when it's not tucked in between a bunch of metal file cabinets.

Try installing something like this WiFiAnalyzer (open-source) app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vrem.wifianalyzer&hl=en_US
and use it to check your home's WiFi network. It will give you numbers on signal strength so you can walk around your home and get a rough 'heat mapping' on your routers coverage range. It can also give you a better idea on the approximate signal interference from any nearby WiFi networks that could be an issue to address.

I cannot get the WiFi calling and today Vodafone have told me that 'we will not be able to get your Wifi calling to work as the firmware that is built into your device is not from the UK market, it has international coding that is not comp[atible with our software.' Is there any other way of using my home wifi to make calls other that WhatsApp? I have a very poor sinal in my home area.

There's a simple answer - Don't have social media accounts

If you really feel the need to use a fingerprint to unlock your PC, get a keyboard with a fingerprint reader.
Like this one from Microsoft: https://www.microsoft.com/accessori...microsoft-modern-keyboard-with-fingerprint-id
Or one of these USB fingerprint readers: https://www.amazon.com/Kensington-V...rprint+reader&qid=1565965238&s=gateway&sr=8-4

It's really a kernel thing bit if ya wanna try Govs, maybe see if conservative works.. Although I doubt it. You could possibly flash a Warp Sync kernel (sister devices, shouldn't break much)

Odds are whatever restrictions they set up are there to be in accordance with established security policies, so yeah, for those who want to intentionally cheat the system for whatever reasons it's not like they can control everything.

The company isn't tiny, but it isn't exactly Boeing. They've been using Google managed email for about five years, but recently hired some head of IT who views IMAP (on Google's servers, mind you) as a security risk. I've seen these IT guys come and go, and most of them are just nerdy control freaks who go into some passive aggressive mindset when they realize that some of the employees at a particular branch were fluent before they were born.
