Just a couple of additional suggestions, take a look at Google's keyboard app, Gboard:

It's a popular, feature-rich keyboard but if you want to avoid adding in another Google product, Klaus Weidner's Hacker's Keyboard app is a very capable and customizable keyboard. It requires a little set up work to implement correctly but once that's done be sure to tweak its extensive options to make its user interface and functionality match up with what you want.

With the Nintendo Switch and PSP, would it make sense for Microsoft to make an Xbox Phone instead of a Surface Phone and have it run Android? Would anyone buy it? SOURCE

Before some days, i reseted my phone . Recently, I faced a problem when I turn on the phone, the brightness is 100% but before turn off the phone, the brightness was 30%..

Before resetting the phone, i didn't face this problem . I faced this problem after resetting .....

What's the wrong going on ?

Thanks @Dannydet

Yes, using WiFi would be much easier.

How are you connecting to ethernet?

I've done that with several phones using an ethernet to USB adapter and OTG (On The Go) cable connected to the phone. Didn't have to do anything other then connect them together and wired internet was working (was in airplane mode and had a special icon in the notification bar).

Here is an article listing USB to Ethernet adapters Android supports:

have you tried clearing cache for the app?

• Your photos and videos will no longer automatically sync between Google Photos and Google Drive.
• You will still be able to upload to both services using the Backup and Sync app on your computer.
• We’re also adding a new “Upload from Drive” feature that lets you copy photos and videos to Google Photos.
• Your existing photos and videos are still in Google Photos and Google Drive.

That's why I am worried about my photos.

All that is referring to is the decoupling between Google Photos and Google Drive, both are just services that are a part of your Google account. You're still better off using Google Photos to do the automatic backing up into your Google account. Most people weren't even aware they could link Google Photos and Google Drive together anyway.

can you post a play link?

please refer to the guidelines to promoting your apps/games:

what about connecting your phone to your pc?

also i would look into using google photos. it will automatically upload your photos to the cloud. this way you do not have to worry about backing up your photos, or running out of room on your phone or sd card.

edit: did anybody say ninja????????

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.
