And Google are amongst the worst for that. They would release Nexus phones with 8GB or 16GB storage because surely nobody would need to keep anything on their device when you have Google's cloud and constant, free Internet (as long as you never left the Google campus).

You can install Debian and tweak it a bit. You can also try Manjaro based on Arch Linux. But you will also have to modify it a little bit for the touchscreen.

I found the answer, and i'm not happy about it!! It seems that Samsung decided to give every app in this phone their own ringtone. No mention of this in the manual, at all. My one shot with Samsung will be my last. I can't get back the time that i spent trying to solve this problem, but i can make sure that it doesn't happen again. As soon as my contract is up, it's bye bye Sammy.👎

Thanks for your input, but this thread is no longer necessary. I posted this on the steam forum also and got some relevant info that helped me to decide on a phone upgrade. Thanks again.

Do Samsung allow that with a locked bootloader? I've had experience of manufactures who do not.

I was able to do it within WhatsApp easily enough but I had trouble finding a way to do it in K9mail that I'd installed and Messages that came pre-installed. As I said above I eventually succeeded from within App Manager using the info I got from another forum.

Obviously not all user installed 3rd-party apps make it as easy as WhatsApp.

WeChat and Telegram makes it easy as well. Although for my uses those are the only user installed apps I want making notification sounds, all other non-system third-party apps I have muted.

The only times I've heard of things like that, is when trying to charge a phone or tablet at sub-zero temps. Because it's too cold to charge LiPo batteries safely.

Same here Mike.. I wonder if they are in the frozen tundra.

Welcome to Android Forums. There are near countless icons in use and unless someone here is familiar with the icon in question, we will be of little help. Being as your bf has cheated prior and refuses to freely discuss an icon on his phone leaving you to suspect and question would be justification for moving on IMO. I'm certainly not a relationship counselor and perhaps another member recognizes the icon. Good luck

You could try watching the episode and using Soundhound (or a similar app) on your phone to tell you the name of the composition. The app gets the music correct a large percentage of the time.

I do this all the time. It works pretty well.

I don't know what you're connecting to. Is it a TV or computer or laptop?

Have you tried this (miracast)? Miracast | Wi-Fi Alliance

It sounds like your tablet browser is in dire need of an ad blocker.

Like I tell my wife, sometimes it's good to dust off an oldie but a goodie.

Excellent. SD card being a factor is one I'd never have guessed!

I use a combination of :

Most all players use the meta data information to sort and play .mp3 files. I'm glad you have your tags edited.

Thanks. I noticed it didn't have a website for tech help, so I turned here...

What I like about Yaata:

• Customizable per Conversation
  • Ringtone
  • Bubble color
  • LED color
• Customizable background wallpaper
  • It's the same for all conversations, but it's nice to have its own "look"
• Delayed deliveries
  • Basic "oh shit" delay - gives you anywhere from three to 60 seconds to edit message after you hit Send before it transmits
  • Can schedule a message to go any time in the future

So if the devs can't fix it, I'm thinking of trying Pulse. Any thoughts?


@mikedt, I just listened to Red the other day, almost pulled Crimson King off the shelf instead...

Yeah. Not sure that updating play will actually work, it may just be a result of restarting the phone (that works for a bit also).

Thank you to all, especially to ocnbre! That website did the trick.

I don't know about asking for ID information as I've not tried it, but it seems to be known in the community, as in this 2021 XDA article.

But I don't know how it works if you install an app downloaded via some anonymous account it created and then want to update from the Play Store. An app doesn't have to be originally installed from one app store for another to update it, but I don't know whether this way of doing things changes that.

Look in the settings of your camera app. If such an option exists, that's where it will be. Though at a quick glance my s21's camera doesn't have that option, so I don't think it's that likely.

Of course the naming system here is informative: that 14 digit number is yyyymmdd_hhmmss, i.e. a date+time stamp for the image. It's also pretty standard for Android: my Pixel 2 would prefix this time stamp with PXL_, while my 2010 HTC Desire would prefix it with IMG_, but using an ISO8601 datestamp in the filename rather than just a shutter release number (most likely what your Canon does) has been a common feature from the early days of Android.

A third party camera app may have other options. Open Camera allows you to choose the format of the date+time stamp, though it still saves images as IMG_date_time rather than IMG_SequenceNumber (you can change the "IMG_" prefix if you prefer). I don't know about others as it's years since I tried other alternative camera apps. Of course a third party app will have other imaging features, but as it's not written for a specific phone's camera hardware it may also not be able to use all of the features of your phone's camera system.

I wanted a steak for my tea
But I'm vegetarian now, do you see?
I can't have the steak
so I thought "For ***'s sake"
It's vegetable curry for me.

That's the trouble, the standard makers never think far enough ahead, so companies end up doing their own thing, in many different incompatible ways.

As for bluetooth, it's a very handy convenient way to transfer without setting anything complicated up. If I meet Mr Smith and want to give him a photo from my phone, Bluetooth is the easiest way. Oh, unless he has an Iphone. Apple don't give a flying intercourse about their customers, they just want them to pay vast sums of money to itunes, therefore deny them getting files from anyone else lest they circumvent the itunes payments.

That actually happened to me twice. I was at a zoo, and the automated boards for feeding times were busted. I had gone to reception and she had the times on her computer screen, so I photographed it with my Android phone. When I met a woman later on grumbling at the broken sign, I said I've got them here on my phone, then tried to bluetooth them to her. Didn't work, no error message, just didn't work, we didn't know why. But she did say it was "random if it worked or not". Then when I got home (I was staying with my aunt who also has an iphone), I tried to send hundreds of photos to her with bluetooth. Again, same problem. So I looked it up on google. And found out about the Apple utter scam. Why do people fall for that company's nonsense? Yes, let's pay more for a phone where the battery runs flatter quicker, the camera is lower resolution, you need different apps than everyone else, and you can't transfer files to them.

Yes, Tasker sounds like it could do that.
