Notifications of call waiting failing

mikedt
Alex Ethridge said:
My phone used to beep in and put up a screen notification if I was on a call and was receiving another. Now I get no notification of the second caller and the second call just goes to voicemail.

Can I correct that in my phone's settings or is that something I need to talk to my carrier about?

Call waiting is handled by the carrier network, rather than the phone itself. And is usually controlled by sending certain MMI (*#...) codes from the phone's dialler. If you don't know the particular MMI codes your carrier uses for call waiting, then you'll need to talk to them, or look at their customer support website

Coby Kyros Mid7012-4G Tablet

That is a really dated model, in its day a mediocre but usable tablet but in today's tech environment you need to really set your expectations a lot lower. Google stopped supporting it long ago so not only is the Android operating system really out of date, any apps you can manipulate and install will also be woefully outdated as independent developers rarely provide apps for Gingerbread now. On top of basic software issues, there are hardware limitations that can't be ignored either -- old processor CPU and GPU, below spec amount of RAM, very low amount of storage space, display resolution that can't cope with current web technology, it's battery is old too so general usage won't be too impressive at all and charging times increased, among all kinds of other issues.
Really, online interactions will be a problem as current web services have continued to advance past this tablet's capabilities. So you can keep trying to get this tablet to do things it just isn't able to do, or upgrade to a new or newer one that will just work as is.

Odd behavior of Crome on Galaxy 20FE

nickdalzell
Our work PC has a 'fake Google' search (doesn't help the boss only understands Internet Explorer and no other browser) installed that redirects any attempt to search Google over to it. Perhaps some similar malware got installed that is acting like a VPN and redirecting sites in Chrome?

Does there happen to be a symbol of a key on the right side of the notification area? You might have to swipe down and look. It would be next to the wifi or LTE status.

What app is the female showing In notification bar from

nickdalzell
There could also be some kind of 'cycle tracking' app that is installed, but that'd make more sense on a female's phone not a boyfriend's. Samsung Health offers such a feature if you're set to 'Female' or just did it to prove some type of 'I identify with being female' oddity.

I identify as a deer buck, but I don't go out of my way to promote it or go after 'deer's rights'.

Phone Button On BT Headset - Start Google Assistant

MikeyMing
But the headset does not listen all the time. The Voice channel only opens on request, like if I open Google assistant on the phone.

When I press the button on the headset currently it starts Bixby (or at least it tries at the moment but I have disabled Bixby but it still starts it even though it's not logged in)

I want this button to start Google assistant. That was the default behaviour on all previous phones.

Thanks

App Crashing Repeatedly

Grace Ob
I created a Web View App via Android Studio. I generated an apk (modstoapk.com) and installed it on the mobile phone. Successfully ran.
Then I needed to add Admob to it. After coding, Apk was generated without any errors. But when I installed the Apk, App crashed on the mobile phone. So I noticed and updated & sync Build.gradle is the reason for the crash.
So, How do I solve it?

Upside down videos on Instagram

Trallalant
If you encounter incorrect operation of the mobile service, try one of the following actions: Update the Instagram to the latest version; check the correct operation of the operating system on the phone; Write to the program's support service via ""Settings"" — ""Help"" — ""Report a problem"" — ""Something is not working"" - ""Report a problem.""To make your Instagram profile more popular, you can use famoid.com and other services. I think this will be relevant if you have lost part of the audience due to errors with video playback.

Need to change name of personally created shortcut, not app.

grizmixstir
Thanks ocnbrze. That worked perfectly. Once I found the widget and tried it I kinda went doh! and had to laugh at myself, couldn't believe I made what seemed like a rookie mistake. But then again this is my first Android phone so...
I have an LG Velvet 5G, no custum launcher at this point. Maybe at some point in the future I'll try playin around with one. Haven't looked into that too much yet.
And KarmHunter you are absolutely correct as well. I do remember coming across the widget at some point but never thought much about it and didn't bother to take a closer look. A noobie blunder on my part for sure. I guess I won't make that mistake again... at least until next time.
Thanks so much for the info, I do appreciate it. Now I wonder what I can screw up next...

Strange icon in top bar pls help

NFC, i.e. "Near Field Communication", is turned on.

If you are using a phone payment system, or one of those features that allows you to share media between 2 (very) nearby devices, then NFC is what they use. It can also be used for authentication (e.g. unlocking doors), and various other tasks. If you don't do any of that stuff (I don't myself) then you can turn it off and the icon will go away.

Never used NFC so I would have never guess. Thanks a lot man :)

Mobile data setting

mikedt
So the Advanced Network Manager is showing "NO" or "NONE" for SIM, phone, and network. plus "N/A" for everything else in Cell Information !?

Check the SIM is inserted properly? Do you actually have any carrier service at all? Is your account paid up to date, or have sufficient credit for calls and data? Think you definitely need to contact your carrier about this matter.
