Suffice to sat that AutoMile worked well for us and that I have no reservations recommending it.

Changelog:

Sounds good. Thanks so much guys!

You're probably right. But it's still puzzling when you consider how much publicity there is about hackers, spammers, scammers, ransomware, viruses, malware, etc.

From that, I'm assuming that a card view defaults to a certain "elevation" over the surface that automatically produces drop shadows?

That is correct. If memory serves me, the default elevation is 4dp. On earlier versions of the support library you actually had to set the elevation for old android versions as follows...

your phone number is what's used by WhatsApp

I personally know of an exception. When I originally attempted to set up WhatsApp, because my phone did not get a signal in my house, I couldn't use its number to receive the verification code. I used my landline's number, and received the code by voice.

(This led to a bewildering problem later, when I got a new phone, but that's a WHOLE other story!)

Just use Samsung's Smart Switch utility to migrate your data from your old S5 to your new S9+. It's less of a hassle transferring things manually.

https://www.androidcentral.com/how-use-samsung-smart-switch
You can do this by installing Smart Switch on a computer -- S5 to computer then computer to S9+; or just use the Smart Switch app installed on both phones and do the transfer via Samsung's integral S Beam technology -- S5 to S9+. I'd recommend using a computer, that way you have a full back up of your data. Backups are important, if some of your files only exist on your S5 it's really important to get a backup solution set up.
Be sure to check your S9+ thoroughly to ensure everything you need has been copied over, and don't expect perfection. You might still need to copy some things over yourself. And there could be issues with things like app data, depending on the spread between the Android operating system spread between your two phones.

"Draw over other apps" is not one of the permissions that Google offer individual control over even in Android 10, so if it won't accept "no" for an answer all I can suggest is finding a different keyboard.

(My wife's phone came with Touchpal, and she's generally not that particular about things like that, but a few months ago even she got fed up enough with it to replace it. It's been getting worse for years, and if this particular straw isn't the breaking point all of the evidence suggests that they'll come up with something else soon).

Welcome to the site, crumbs and all!

That's a hard pill to swallow. I was hoping to find a solution here.

root my device

Glad you like the J7 Crown!

My just replaced Moto G4 also has (I kept it) a 5.5" screen and 16gb of storage with 2 gb of ram. Before that I lived with a Moto G 2013 with 8gb. it's amazing how many apps you can keep on some devices.They worked very well.

If it has all the features you need and you like interfacing with a Samsung, I do, you did very well.

The cheaper end of the market has much better devices these days

Apologies to the previous poster who read perhaps too quickly. I wasn't being anal, I was just bored

Ok, thanks for that. Actually found an app which has good search options including SD card. called AndroSearch

Was your 8 running Android 9?

Click to expand...

yep.....ran like a champ too....no issues after the update.

have you rebooted your phone? try it in safe mode and see if it still happens. if it does then i would do a factory reset. sometimes updates can get screwed up on either on the download side or during installation.

You can check whether Nokia has the defaulted migration app, like Samsung smart switch, on its official site. If not, you can use DoTrans, a software to transfer between iOS and Android. It only supports video, photos, contacts, audio. As for the apps, you need to re-download.

Great.
Where do we find it?

You can download from following link

Do you mean that you can't install PowerPoint on your phone, or that some app of yours can't open PowerPoint files?

System sounds often live in the ROM (e.g. /system/media), so you may not be able to do that with a file explorer without rooting the phone.

Hello friends, I am from Latin America, I have the SM-305G device, the phone is bought from a telephone company, I had problems with FRP, I used ODIN, downloading the combination software, but the error is always the same: please get the approval to use factory binaries (pit), I have downloaded the pit file from a server, it has not worked, also extracted through MIRACLE BOX, but the problem persists always, I also used the Z3x tool, but I did not get results, now I come here to that can give me a hand and thus be able to solve this.

OK. Thank you. I will start using Silent mode.

This seems to be different from how it worked on my old Samsung S7 Edge. On that phone I just set Do Not Disturb manually and the phone did not ring if a call came in, but the settings description for the S7 specifically says that the phone will not ring while the settings description for the S10+ says no such thing.

Hadron, thank you for all of the detailed information. In the long run, I will probably just go with option 4, and buy another phone.

4....

I found a scanner for Canada for iOS and Android. Not sure if there's one for South Carolina. BTW, welcome to Android Forums. Sorry for all the cross talk about the legality of this. You're cool. I mean, the topic is cool... you may be a big square for all I know! (kidding) Welcome!

Welcome! But you aren't around much. Don't be stranger.
