have you verified that they are gone via your computer? you log into google photos on your web browser and see if your photos are there or not.

i never have any issues with my google photos. i still have photos that i took on my htc hero which was over a decade or so ago!!!!!!!

what phone do you have? have you tried re-booting your phone?

Thank you

I guess he didn't. My friend got it with a lot of apps still there when they probably would have disappeared. The guy must have been really disgusted with it. Why isn't there an option to export contacts, not just import them? Is the phone really that cheap?

do not know why there is not an export option.

and with tech.....you get what you pay for.

if the contacts are still on the phone, he can go to the play store and search for saving contacts.

here is my search:

do not know if any will be available for your friends phone or not.

i use samsung smart switch. it backs up most of my app and its data, but not all. i would use sms backup to backup and restore your text messages. and make sure your google account is all sync'd up. this will make sure that your google contacts and your photos are all saved to the cloud.

I backup my contacts and photos separately so not so worried about those.

I installed SMS Backup and performed a backup to Dropbox within minutes. Very user-friendly.

Otherwise I would just like to capture apps, app data, widgets, layout, settings, Wi-Fi / Bluetooth connections etc and backup to Dropbox or a USB connected drive and be able to restore to a new phone. Are these all captured via the following backup mechanism?

Settings-> Accounts and backup - Smart switch -> External storage transfer

It was a fun day here. I had lawns to mow and it rained early this morning which changed my plans. I went over to my son's house and saw all my kids then dashed home and mowed five lawns. Took a quick shower and ran back to the party just in time to eat burgers and dogs. Had a few brewskis and came home. The weather was so nice that I took the bike out for a ride. When you have high seventy temps and no wind in Kansas, you had best get out and enjoy it.

Happy Memorial Day everyone.

Nerve been an issue for me. It's just like computers. Download a picture or image and it's in the download folder...... same as android.

My screen is totally black now and unresponsive though every thing else seems to be working. I am hearing notifications, etc. I am hoping that when the replacement arrives that maybe smartswitch will work without input from the broken screen. I don't think I had/have Google photos.

Well let's hope that using Smart Switch when you're phone was at least minimally usable will have made at least one full backup on your data, and to an external source, like a computer. If that is the case, you should be able to use the Smart Switch utility on your new phone to restore your previous data.
Keep in mind that except for a few exceptions (i.e. WhatsApp data) that Smart Switch will be able to backup/restore your entire user account. Then it to from an old phone to a new one. Apps like Google Photos only pertain to photo and video content so that would only be part of your all your data.

If you don't have a Smart Switch full backup however, that could be a problem. The other alternative is to do a direct phone-to-phone transfer of your user account but that involves being at least some ability to do things on your old phone. It is a user interactive process, and on both phones.

Guys, i tried to put in production and it worked without errors, this error occurred only in automated machines tests in google play console...thanks

I didn't respond because I'd never seen anything on my phone called "Recent Photos". But then when I read your thread I wondered whether this might be something to do with the Samsung gallery app (which, despite owning an s21, I don't use at all), and opening that app, pressing the 3 line menu and selecting "Recent" does give me a timeline view of images on my phone. Is this what you are talking about?

(I might add that my Samsung Gallery is also an old version because I don't update Samsung apps that I don't use, so may look different to yours as well).

Personally I doubt very much that "recent photos" is actually a folder. Different gallery apps can show different collections of images, ordered by time, by folder, sorted into photos and videos, or whatever, but when a picture shows in a timeline view or a folder view, or in your Gallery app vs Google Photos, it will be the same file in every case. So if you delete it in one place it will be gone from them all.

That's worth concerning

worth concerning? why is it "worth concerning"? why is it worth it and not just "concerning"? how much is it worth?

Welcome !

What exactly was deleted? It's not clear from your post. You mentioned the clipboard in the title, but it will be different if you cut a piece of text or tried to move a file that way.

I'm not optimistic either way - data recovery in Android is always problematic, so I'd always recommend copying important stuff and then deleting the original afterwards. But more information might help.

svim said:

If that has been determined and verified to be the problem, that's just a software issue. The upgrade process failed in some way that affected the video driver/firmware. Why not just try reapplying the upgrade or re-flash the phone with its newer, stock (international) ROM? Software fixes are less involved than hardware swapping of components. Fixing up that international model will negate the need to mess with that T-Mobile model.



Yes, the housing is the same for that model line (8T). But I still think you're better off just fixing that international model. Even if you do have all that work done, you're still going to need to flash the stock ROM on that T-Mobile phone to solve it's carrier-lock issue.

Odds are you are going to end up with 2 phones that have been busted open trying to fix one phone. The end result is two basically dead parts phones.

You should just bite the bullet and resale the OP8T and start from square one. When buying unlocked phones, non carrier specific phones you need to research what models will work in your area. I've seen so many incorrect descriptions on Ebay and Amazon. Not just look at Global phones either, look at each specific model and the bands that phone supports. Every manufacturer is very different about what bands they support in what areas except Apple and Google. The new Apple/Google phones basically support all bands worldwide

I have done swapping displays of Oneplus 8T between KB2007 & KB2000.

All work perfectly fine except the FINGERPRINT

Fingerprint does not being recognized at all.

Does anybody have an answer to this ?

What I found googling is it needs to be recalibrated through a oneplus official store

Does anyone have any idea about any other way, as I am not having a OP official store in my country

Anyone's help here is greatly appreciated.

Have you rebooted the phone? and then checking the volume?

Funny thing: I received another update for my s21 last night, less than a fortnight after the previous one (and after my phone had had a couple of UI hangups and another spontaneous restart yesterday). Update description was standard boilerplate, but the top item was "Stability and reliability: device behaviour has been improved". Too soon to say whether it has fixed the issues, but a second update in rapid succession looks a lot like they've realised that the previous one was buggy.

The best way of thinking about NFTs is "digital tulip bulbs". If you don't understand that reference you should not be in the investment market at all, because your ignorance will make you an easy mark.

Just remember that by every metric the NFT market has shrunken dramatically since late 2021, and that the people and organisations who talk it up have a vested interest in it. If you still want to get involved despite that, well it's your loss.

Does Samsung Touchwiz allow you to control any changes?

Click to expand...

touchwiz? thats very old. samsung now uses OneUI. and what do you mean by "control any changes"?

both touchwiz and OneUI are just samsung's launcher that they put on top of the android os to make it look and fell different from other manufacturers. i dislike OneUI so i use the Nova launcher that you can get in the play store.

I looks about right for Canada. Especially as most of the population lives in the south, and often within 100km of the US border. And the population of Canada is about half that of the UK. If you're up in the northern wildernesses of Canada, it's best if you have a satellite phone.

I discovered this!
After trouble shooting everything I can think of resetting the connection via Phonax app, I put my moto to safe mode, I went to the Phonax And clear the cache. It worked wonders - in case if anyone was wondering.

Hi

I have a Samsung A23, (will be buying additional 49 after this is figured out and configured) I want to remove all software on it, add 1 communication app to the main screen (which will work via wifi) there will not be any sim card installed, I want to block/disable any installations of apps etc , including social media, browsing the web, and giving the user the phone without a google account on it (don't mind using one to implement this, then removing it), the mobile will be used only for corporate use, to receive and make calls, hence the reason for this

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Sounds like Knox Manage might be useful for this. That's what Samsung designed it for, managing corporate use devices.
