This is what I do:
First you will need to check the root of your phone for 2 folders. One names "Music" and the other "Playlist". If not there then just create them.

1. Sync WMP playlist with a flash drive or any way that will get you all of the songs on that playlist simple and fast.
2. Copy all those songs to the "Music" folder on the root of your SD card.
3. Select the Playlist on the side panel of WMP right clicking and select "open file location" and then copy that playlist file to the folder "Playlist" on your phones memory.

You're done. Your playlist should be synced in the same order as on WMP and should show up on the default player of Android. I use a flash drive to store music for my car and I sync it once in a while so then you could just copy all those songs once synced to the flash drive and the new songs will appear and just click "don't copy repeated files", what you will mainly need to redo again is copy the Playlist FILE from WMP.

Note: I have a Galaxy S and all this was done using the INTERNAL Memory and the DEFAULT Android Music Player. Not sure if it will work with external SD card but I don't see why not.

Wow!! I know this is a very old post, but I've boon looking for a way to do this for years and had concluded it was impossible. It was this simple. I had tried syncing the WPL through Windows Media Player (over USB), which did not work for me. That sync'd the songs, but not the Playlist. But the incredibly simple step of just dragging and dropping the WPL file(s) to the Playlists folder on the Android device immediately made the Playlist available and it worked with the songs (already sync'd via Windows Media Player).

So if anyone is still looking for a way to do this even on Android 11 in 2022, here are the steps:

1. Connect Android phone to PC via Bluetooth
2. Swipe down and scroll to the bottom of the notification area and set USB connection to "File Transfer" (as of Android 11, this name has changed with different Android versions). This is necessary so that your PC can see the file store on the phone, otherwise, it won't have access (some of the posts above asked about this).
3. In Windows Media Player click on Playlists on the left.
4. Right click on one of the Playlists and select "Open file location" This will pop open an Explorer window with your Playlist(s). Set this aside for later (Step #8) and go back to Windows Media Player.
5. Click on the Sync tab in the upper right
6. Drag the Playlist(s) in the main window over to the Sync area on the right (see screen show below)

7. Hit "Start Sync" right below the tabs and above the Playlist(s) to sync. For me, this only synced the Songs, NOT the playlist, but that's OK (thanks to kcinholas's post)
8. Click on the Windows Explorer window you opened in Step #4.
9. Open another Explorer window (Windows+E or from the Taskbar or Start). Navigate to your Android device (be sure it's still connected via USB and in File Transfer mode).
9. Open the Android device's main drive/volume, probably called "Internal shared storage" (not sure how this would work with an SD card, but I assume that can work and the process is similar)
10. You should see several folders at the home directly of the device, including Music and Playlists. Open Playlists.
11. Drag and drop any Playlists from the Windows source to the Android destination.

Summary:

1. Sync music from Windows to Android over USB via Windows Media Player. You can sync individual songs, albums, or artists, or by Playlist, but syncing a Playlist through Windows Media Player will only sync that playlist's songs, not the Playlist itself.

2. Copy (can't sync) the *.WPL Playlist from Windows to the Playlists folder on the Android device via Windows Explorer.

That's it!

Windows Media Player does smart syncing, so even if you have dozens of GB of music, adding a few new songs will still only take a few seconds.

Thank you, kcinholas!!

Many auto makers are limiting their model selections, or dumbing down their vehicles, because they can't get processors. I crowdfunded an awesome dashcam, which has been held up because the chip supplier isn't supplying the processors. The big corporations like Apple, Samsung, etc are paying big money to get to the head of the line, pushing the smaller startups to the end. At this rate, I don't know if the thing will ever get manufactured.

You can always let the admin of the website, app or whatever know that you are getting a new device and will not be using the old one. If they know to expect that, I can't think of any reason why they would terminate your account. No one is expected to keep the same phone forever.

I still haven't received a reply from that forum. Does anyone have any idea about this ? Also, i narrowed down the search results and found out that there are several images (approx 20-30 images) within my s8 or note 8 that ALL have the same date created which also appear to be after the date modified. The only time which I know of when the date created is later in time and have the same date and time is when those pictures are moved or copied to/from somewhere else ?? Any possible suggestions for this?

You are setting the USB connection mode on the phone to file transfer? If not it's likely to just assume you want to charge and nothing else.

Yep.

I'd suggest the simplest solution is probably to just type "<model name> volte" into your favourite search engine.

I did that and got a lot of links. Some don't list my model, others seem to imply that it depends on the SIM card.
I can't get through to H2O via calls email or chat to see if this is true.

Holy crap, as I was typing this I remembered I had an old T-mobile SIM card.
(I live near Nashville and Xmas morning 2020 an idiot blew himself up along with half of second ave in Nashville. That knocked out my ATT service so I went to T-moble and signed up for a month of service. Att came back in a week or so and I went back to H2O).

So I just put that old SIM in my phone and low and behold, under T-Mobile network I now have a new setting. "Enable VoLTE". And it is enabled.

So VoLTE is dependent on the SIM (service provider).

So maybe I wait for H2O to fix their problem (like they thought they did a month ago). Just use my google number for now.

Or go to T-mobile tomorrow and see what they have for plans.

My current phone (Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact) has a Micro SD card. I get a report:

Internal shared storage...Used space 17.6 GB
Free space 4.04 GB

SD card Used space 36.5GB (mostly pics. of my grand daughter)
Free space 82.5 GB

So I guess I am good with 128 GB

As Hadron suggested I started checking tests of batteries and the S22 doesn't look that good. I need to look some more.

But I really wish I could find a smaller phone then even the S22.

I also hate auto updates, have a Motorola, and the same issue.

After much grief and aggrevation, I stumbled quite blindly onto a sort of solution.

I have a certain cleaning app, quite possibly the only trustworthy one, that can be set to automatically clean the device once a day.

After I allowed the auto cleaning to occur, the automatic restarts stopped!

My guess is that although the auto update is turned off, the junk still gets downloaded and will pester either you or the system itself until it gets installed.

These things are installed automatically during restarts, so there it is.

So what I figure is happening now is that the cleaner is deleting the update data soon enough after it comes in that my device has suffered only one or two restarts in the last few weeks- whereas it was happening multiple times a day before.

Try it and see if it helps you as well as it did me.

Now, @ocnbrze has a valid point about the age of the device.

This app may help, but the fact remains that you will need a newer device shortly.

You very well may have the same issue when the updates come through on a new device, especially if you turn off the auto-updates like I do.

So, even if you replace the device, I would still put this app on the new one and let it do its thing.

When you read the description, you will see why I say that it may be the only trustworthy cleaner around.

Also, if you don't know, F-Droid is the most secure appstore around- so don't be put off that the link is from a third party appstore.

This QR code works and I already have the application on my phone.

Yes, I too get attached- it is difficult to leave behind a device that we have devoted so much time to.

And it seems that we get them just how we want them, and then BAM!, you need a new one.

Correct! Will post the full pic next time I'm on the computer.

I'm definitely going to look into these methods that were mentioned to move these files.

thanks!

Disabling "Speech Services by Google" seems to have worked.

I tried this setup on another working Pixel 2 and it didn't power up either. I'm assuming something needs to be assigned in which case i'm out of luck. Can anyone confirm what needs to be turned on?

Yeah, I don't think it's an option you 'turn on' but rather the need to have some kind of driver/firmware installed in order for some external devices to work. In this instance it could be a driver could be required for the mouse or the OTG adapter/cable, or both. And it's matter where with Android something like a device driver is added via an app. So unless this is done back when the screen was working, that 'might' be part of the problem since testing this requires a Pixel 2 XL, and that specific brand of mouse and that specific brand of an OTG adapter/cable.

I still have to try it with recording a phone call but ev else works fine. Thanks for messaging.

Hi,
I'm currently experiencing the same problem.
I already had a chat with Google support and was told to do a factory reset.
I'm not doing that however, so any solutions are appreciated.
It's also noteworthy that upon logging in on my HTC 10 I get a notification on my OnePlus, that I need to verify my account, so maybe my HTC is on a blacklist or something

Please provide more details as your basic setup.
-- Are you trying to connect your phone to your TV using a WiFi signal from a router or from a phone hotspot?
If the former that will make interactions between devices more seamless than the latter.
-- What phone model do you have and which version of Android is it running?
Depending the phone, it may already include the sharing/casting features you need, without having to install third-party apps/services.
-- What is the make and model of your TV? Is it a smart TV (already includes its own existing, integral networking); or is it an older TV where you need to use an added, external dongle-type device (i.e. a Chromecast or a Roku) to add WiFi capability.

Thanks?? for that link lol Not surprised that nearly all manufacturers have their phones built elsewhere. I wonder though if they would have to charge that much more if built here. It's already a hard pill to swallow paying near $1000 for a smartphone. I like to think consumers would "revolt" and not pay above $900-$1000.

I wouldn't bother with trying to constantly close apps, that's just micromanaging Android's memory management in a counter-productive way. You're not regaining usable RAM by doing this, it's just making your phone work that much more in the background to compensate for your actions. Or in other words, Android's memory management is much more advanced than we all think we are.

I just now tried cleaning up my memory and restarting my device, no luck. Thanks for trying though.

Maybe something went funky in the software? Just a guess. Have you tried restarting the device?

FWIW I have a Galaxy Note20 Ultra with latest updates, and all 3 points raised are still working as they should on my phone.
