Hope this clears that up for you. I am in a similar predicamint as BF clearly communicated to me his intentions, has taken me to his parents 3x so far, yet he actively has the hearts and PoF fishy on his dropdown notification menu or has matches on FBk dating.

I am giving it a week before expressing my concern so I can calm the fuk down and think objectively before discussing it with him.

Good luck, my friend.

Hi @Jackie Buffett and welcome to AF. I'm sorry it turned out bad for you with what the notification is.

I do want to thank you for confirming what it is as we get many, many inquiries about heart notifications and what apps are tied to them. While we are mainly a tech support site with members helping members, we do care about calming folks fears about unneeded stress. In this case, by your confirmation, we can at least let folks know in many cases that the particular heart icon they are seeing, that it is or isn't POF.

Local backup would be on the phone. But it would help to know what you mean by "force" a restore, since what exactly you are doing and what state the app and its data are in might be relevant. I've never seen anything about it promising to work after some number of hours.

I had a WhatsApp restore hang up over the weekend: changing phones, tried restoring from the cloud backup and that hang half way through copying the media. But as I had the old phone I solved that by just copying the media from the old phone via USB.

I've never used WhatsApp for SMS though, I prefer to use a separate SMS app and just use WhatsApp for WhatsApp chats, so don't know whether there are any special issues with that. There shouldn't be though, since SMS must use the standard system SMS database (distinct from WhatsApp's encrypted chats).

Thanks for the replies

I created a channel for your game. Thanks for sharing and best of luck.

Hi, good day to you All, May i know if anyone who knows how to get the Google pixel phone password? Because im trying to get it done but after hard reset it still asking me for the password again? Is there any way for me to do it? Please help me out with the moblie phone thank you so much..

If you factory reset the phone from recovery then you'll need to enter the password of the Google account which was last used on the device before the reset. If you don't remember your Google account password you can learn about the account recovery process here:
https://gmailaccountrecovery.blogspot.com/2012/01/gmail-account-recovery-and-security.html

Unfortunately (for you) there is no way to bypass this requirement. The only way to proceed is to successfully authenticate that previous Google account.

This is a security measure to deter thieves from stealing a person's phone, factory resetting it, and then selling or using the phone as their own.

I can't say I ever noticed it in my recently retired Pixel 2 (A11). But it might be something I turned off long ago and forgot existed - I'll check when I'm next near that phone.

But if it disappeared during the A12 update there's probably not much to do. Search the settings in case it just got moved, I guess.

Google do sometimes do stupid things, e.g. they removed the ability to keep the screen awake by touching the fingerprint sensor in A10, presumably because the Pixel 4 didn't have one, and thereby degraded the functionality of every other model.

Hi, good day to you All, is there any way for me to flash my Google pixel phone? Because i have forgotten the password? As i have tried to do the hard reset but it still asking me for the password?

So thank you sir.. I will be waiting for custom rom A32 5G.

Its on gp @ocnbrze

what is gp?

In general, you should install the official IDE, Android Studio, as well as Android SDK on your PC at first.

Then new a Project from Version Control. Here your version control source is github.

Now you can manage to Build Bundles or APKs. If everything goes well, you can directly generate signed Bundles or APKs.

Have you tried this?

Explain what happens if it does not work.

I don't use Android Auto either.

Have you tried to use a standard combination of keys?

Click to expand...

again this is an old thread from feb 2020.....don't expect an answer.

the good thing for those living in the US:
"Are you at risk?
The BRATA Android scam first began making the rounds in Brazil in 2019. Cleafy says that the new mule accounts spreading the trojan are mostly coming from Italy, as well as Lithuania and the Netherlands. So, if you live in the US, this specific campaign probably won’t target you. That said, it’s one more scary threat that you should be aware of if you own an Android device."

edit:i am sure that at some point this scam will hit US soil, unfortunately.

Using two mobile numbers will solve your problem. If you use one for financial products and another for real estate, you will always know the interest of the person calling you. Also, multiple apps can help you detect who is calling you, so maybe you will remind why you call this person. For example, I am using Family Orbit. I use it for checking the calling history of my child. I am aware of him, and I want to know who are the people are calling him and who is he calling. In case something happens, it will help me a lot to find my kid.

Android has changed a lot in the past six years; I'm not sure it would be worth the effort of learning a bunch of deprecated classes since you shouldn't be using them anymore. I'd recommend looking for more up-to-date training material.

I got the pixel 5 out desperation. It will be the last pixel, Nexus , Google phone I buy. I really don't have any positive to say about it

Click to expand...

What are the negative things you have to say about it? Any issues we could help you troubleshoot and resolve?

This is like trying to use the internet with a Windows 95 PC. The sites and programs don't support it any more and it doesn't work.
A device this old may be useful for some non-connected apps like a music player, note-taking etc. but for anything that requires online connectivity, up to date security standards and so on you'll need a newer phone with a more current version of Android and enough memory and processing power to run those apps. Really no way around it

My mind is a sieve since yesterday.

Privacy protection password gets you in to someone's set up device and their account?

Click to expand...

Yeah, it's just what Google call the lockscreen password.

Google"s account password + login enables avoiding FRP when resetting another's device

Click to expand...

If I were being pedantic (which is an occupational hazard in my line of work) I'd say that the Google login unlocks the phone after FRP is activated. The way to avoid FRP is to remove the account before resetting, but you need to unlock the screen to do that.

Why someone's reset and account removed device on the other thread still had a lock screen password I couldn't figure.

Click to expand...

Yeah, that does not make a lot of sense to me...

You have some account in common and are storing the events in it. That is by far the most plausible explanation.

So go into your calendar app and look which account one of these entries is associated with.

Thanks for all your hints. I did the reset and there didn't occure any problems. There are a lot of questions now, but I will check out, if there are answers already in former posts and infos or post them seperatly.
greets to you all

Restarting an Android is like giving it a coffee enema.

It clears the app caches and refreshes the whole thing.
