Strange router on my network?

If you're wondering if an "unknown" device is connecting to your Wi-Fi, the answer lies in your Internet router. In most cases, it's your broadband router, but it could also be a mesh Wi-Fi system, Wi-Fi extender, or booster. Whatever your setup, you'll need to log in to the device providing your Wi-Fi and look through its menu to find a list of connected devices. Simply logging into your router can be a challenge. Essentially, you need to know the router's IP login, which you should get from any device connected to it, such as a laptop or phone. That way, you will understand what is going on.

Issue - Special Char Keyed Instead of Letter

Although you may have found a solution, do not give up on trying different keyboards.

There are many, many keyboards.

G-Board is not very secure, as everything you type (yes, EVERYTHING) is capable of being sent to Google- and they can do whatever they wish with any or all of this information.

Keep in mind that the keyboard is what you type every single thing into your device with.

So even if you are not using any specific Google app or thing, they can still see (and use) whatever you type at any time.

This includes your contacts, private text messages, messaging apps, social media, you name it.

Is private apps on Google Play affected by "target API requirements"?

Thanks for the reply. I am a little "locked" to the targetSkdVersion 30 because of a customer. I have to add some dependencies to the app that is not compatible with anything newer than version 30.
I cannot be the only one having this problem because of the dependecies, hopefully the dependencies will be fixed and made compatible with a newer targetSdkVersion soon :)
Like I saw from the link you provided, old customers will still find the app, but no updates.

New customers, those who have just found the app, will not be able to see the app at all unless you comply with Google.

That is why I would suggest making your app available on multiple app stores, so that you are not trapped with Google.

You can choose from multiple app stores.

Uptodown is great, and APKPure is also good.
If your app is FOSS (Free Open Source Software), then I would absolutely recommend you submitting it to F-Droid.

Confusion about which passswords to use?

OK, no MS PW. Each of my email accts have unique addresses, and each have a different PW. Both PWs and addresses are the same on the phone and on the PC. Originally, I did the setting up on the phone (sync'g Outlook and TB) and it worked. I don't remember how I did it, but I think it was rather automatic. So, if I get what you are saying, when I'm prompted to sign-in, I simply use the PW associated with the presently active acct?

Adding Microsoft Exchange Account

I finally figured out how to find the contacts in the Microsoft Outlook app but it does not really accomplish the full function. I want to have a exchange account that can be seen by the other apps. I want the default calendar app to see the calendar etc. Also the phone app needs to see the contacts etc. I was able to easily add the exchange account to my phone (long time ago) but can't seem to do same on wife's phone.

If I could manually add the Outlook account I need the server name and domain information along with the ports. If you have this would appreciate it.

Help would be appreciated

Help How Do I download Android Gradle Plugin 7.3?

How Do I download Android Gradle Plugin 7.4?

As I was making this post, this web forum times out and logged me out and all my work was lost. So I am going to save this as I type.

For starters, Android Studio is dealing with two kinds of Gradle as seen in the Project Structure:

050_Screenshot%202022-10-18%20064324.jpg


Luckily, I found on the developer.android.com site, some information regarding the relationship between thest two things. https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/gradle-plugin?buildsystem=ndk-build#updating-gradle

And, on this page, I found this table which tells me what version of the plug-in I need.

So, where do I find this?

Opening pre-made Word / Excel templates within an App and Exporting them

There are many functions in Excel. I would recommend that you check your settings to make sure that all Excel functions are working as expected. Try removing the image from the template and reloading them. I like to take Okslides templates that are ready to go, which saves time. Keep in mind that Excel templates won't open on Windows 8.1 devices with the Windows 8.1 Mobile app if you use those. If you get messages like "We tried to restore your document as much as possible, but it's not available for editing". Try opening and restoring the document on your PC to fix the problem.

Help com.google.android.apps.messaging notifications not showing in lock screen

How to get those notifications

Yes

Realme

I would like it on vanilla Android

I don't want it "always on" the lock screen, only when the notification happens
no "always on" is a samsung lockscreen feature. it displays the time and notifications but at a much lower brightness so as to not really take much battery doing so.

again you will have to search a lockscreen app from the play store that fit you needs.

and what do you mean by "vanilla" android? realme phones do not come with "vasnilla" android os. they cook their own stuff into the os. the only pure android will be the pixel phones from google.
