Happy Independence Day

They use 'Xmas' in many places today to compensate for promoting Christianity. They won't even allow decorations in schools or government buildings anymore.

Also, isn't it odd how we still celebrate our independence when we're so reliant on outsourcing? Can you get anything Made in USA anymore? How about we learn from history and revolt again? Time for some more Independence!

Full disclosure. I'm a Jewish believer in Jesus Christ. I'm an Evangelical Non-Denominational ordained minster of the Gospel.

That said, the term "Xmas" wasn't started by the secularists. It was originated by devout Christians. The X doesn't stand for blotting out the name of Christ. What the X stands for is the Cross that He was crucified upon! It's true! You can look it up!

Issue with network

Sim tray fault or reinserted incorrectly

Is it network locked?

I hope I won't need to bother you all again, but it is good know you are there and willing to helpi

Thanks very much

migrate android apps to ios

Isn't it possible to transfer data from Android to iOS when you set it up? I think there is such a function there, or am I wrong?
There is an option to transfer some applications and limited user data between devices, but that depends upon the application in question already being available (and free) in the App Store / Play Store.

It sounds to me like @dostoyevski was looking for a way to port an application from Android to iOS (where it doesn't already exist).

There are cross-platform development kits which can be used to produce (basic) apps which will run on both iOS and Android (spitting out a separate build for each but based on the same common code) but I'm not aware of anything which can easily convert an existing app (not written using one of those cross-platform frameworks).

Just use another browser.
First of all, Chrome is garbage at best- and nefarious spyware at its worst.

Use any browser that uses Android System Webview as the webview, and be sure to check the webview setting in developers options- Google has a nasty habit of making Chrome the webview!
(In my mind that means that Google is using Chrome to monitor everything you do online.)

Sometimes Chrome must be disabled in order for you to be able to change the webview app, and this also leads me to not trust Chrome or Google even more.

Lightning is an excellent browser, much faster and able to be more secure.

You can access Translate from the Google homepage, there is no need for any extra app at all.

‍♂️ I got used to it. Password manager is a big go for me there.

LG is all done with phones...

My first Android was a garbage-tier Coby Kyros tablet that ran 2.1. Then an LG Optimus V that ran 2.2. I learned to root/ROM at least.

I do wish I had the funds then to enjoy real good phones like the Xperia Play, Kyocera Echo, O.G. Droids, and so on. Didn't get my first flagship until the Galaxy SIII was already a year old. At least I can enjoy the Thunderbolt and SII today however.

Cannot download to the specified location

Y
I gave it permission to use storage. Now it claims it's downloading, but if a file says 0 bytes, isn't it useless? I just moved some more to sd in order to make room. Can I PLEASE save directly to sd?

You do not want to save directly to SD cards.
If the file is corrupt, then you have wasted two read/write cycles of that card.
(One to save it, and another to delete it.)

This is why you should save to internal, look over the file(s), make sure they are complete and wanted, and then copy them to the SD.

Then, to be really safe, double check the file(s) that you just copied to the card for errors and whatnot.

Only after this verification should the file(s) in internal memory be deleted.

I am most guilty of just moving files instead of copying them.

I will admit that the success rate is very high, but there is always that one file that will get away- corrupted during the move and now lost forever.

Should you close unused apps?

I don't trust open tabs in a browser, since sites that you visit can scan your bookmarks (if your bookmarks have an icon denoting the site, then yes) and possibly even see browsing history and more.

The browsers I use all have a setting that allows the closing of all tabs and then the browser with a single long press of the back button on the navigation button.

Cookies, history, and web storage can all be set to be deleted at this time as well.

Turning off the screen has become irritating

I would have never guessed this in a lifetime!
None of the options in "Default assistant app" were selected, so I selected one called "Nothing", and the balloon is gone!
Thanks for the great advice puppykickr!

Glad to help.
Your issue was my issue as well a few years back.

I actually discovered this setting by using the Greenify app, otherwise I might not ever have figured it out.

Can someone explain why I am now getting the following errors and how to resolve them. I have already given Tasker permission and still getting the error messages. Even when I check the option "Continue after error" the errors still occur.
