Also, if you are going to Wal-Mart...
I recently purchased a nice, unlocked Moto e (2020) there for $120 USD.

It has 2 GB RAM and 32 GB internal memory, and is capable of a 512 GB SD card as well.

It has a decent sized screen, and so far has been a great device.

I discovered it and worked at it, worked like a charm

Yeh, a power-bank taped to the back of the tablet and plugged in the USB could work.

But be aware if the old internal battery starts swelling and puffing up, it might split the tablet, and can be very dangerous.

I know what you mean I totally hate when this happens. I think the poster above is dead on with this. Also when you say it sometimes you might have to say it a little different but I don't know like the poster above I think just a simple correction on the keyboard after speaking it will do. Just make sure not to delete your learned voices samples etc.

I finally retired that Mate 10 last month, and replaced it with a Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra. But the Huawei still serves a purpose as a remote zapper for the TV and A/C, because it has an IR blaster.

Got to love those IR blasters!

I wouldn't worry about the "limited" 6GB RAM myself. Android updates do not necessarily mean that you need larger and larger amounts of RAM: my Pixel 2 has gone from Android 8 to Android 11 with no noticeable impact on performance, and it has 4GB of RAM. My daughter says that her Galaxy S8 (2017, originally Android 7, now Android 9) still runs fine and it too has 4GB. I do personally feel that part of the drive towards ever larger amounts of RAM is marketing: sticking a bit more RAM in may make more difference to sales than it does to usability. The biggest impact is likely to be on how many apps can stay in storage without having to reload when you switch back to them, but if you are a light user how important will that be?

Now that's not to say that a manufacturer can't release a badly-optimised update which slows things down, but it's rarely the lack of RAM that is responsible for that, just poor coding.

So sorry, that doesn't answer your question, just to say that if it were me making the decision I'd not worry about the difference between 6GB and 8GB of RAM.

I created a channel for your app. Good luck!!

I'm very much with Moody - we're a Microsoft free zone too - Minty fresh and Spicy (Mint 20.2 Cinnamon)

There are videos on Youtube explaining this.

Literally so many that I cannot even post any links, as I would have to watch and choose.

Search for 'external microphone on android phone' or similar.

I like the ones that demonstrate multiple microphones and show the different results.

This problem is rare in these phones but the ratio increases.

Thanks! I don't have a pen icon, but I have a three-dot icon which offers Button Order. That item provides the ability, add, delete, and order the icons.

There's some ideas here may work for you, which includes having the TAB character in the dictionary.

Not Gboard, but this will give you an actual real TAB key, Hacker's Keyboard.

Just want to stress the point @Hadron posted, go into the Settings menu and remove your Google account and any other accounts first.
You need to remove the Google account authentication you used way back whenever you first used this phone. Keep in mind that a Factory Reset only deletes the user account data, all the files and option/config files that are relative to your personal info and such. But the primary Google account that your phone is linked to is retained in the operating system itself on your phone -- and again, the Factory Reset only wipes that user data partition, it does nothing to the Android operating system partitions.
So be sure to delete your Google account first, then do a Factory Reset. And don't forget to remove your SIM card and microSD card. When you restart your phone and check the Settings menu, all your personal info should be absent. (... if you see your carrier's info still there that's in name only. Just note that it should be replaced when the next owner puts in their SIM card, and don't worry, without your SIM card no one can actually still continue using your carrier account anyway.)

If that S10e was already rooted when you bought it, presumably it's a pre-owned phone -- Samsung phones do not get sold as pre-rooted devices. Just note that being rooted, there's no definitive way for you to be sure it has or hasn't been compromised in some way. Well unless you bought it from a someone you know and trust implicitly. Otherwise casual, off-the-shelf hacks sold in the consumer market are relatively more apparent to detect with a trained-eye (and no, there's no online help forum that's going to be able to help you do this in a practical manner as it's very much a hands-on kind of task), but the better, more advanced and insidious hacks out there are much harder to detect and even more so to remove.
At this point, this phone should be considered to be unsafe to use even if it wasn't having the problem you posted. Your best option is to just flash a stock Samsung ROM which should restore it back into working condition. Flashing a stock ROM will reinstall a clean, non-rooted Android operating system and a stock Recovery.

When an app is installed, an icon appears on a screen. Not sure what this screen is called, so I will call it "Screen App"
I have added an apps' icon to my home screen.
How can I remove the icon from "Screen App"

Hope this makes sense

Click to expand...

Do you mean the "app drawer": an screen (or, usually, several screens) of apps which you bring up by either touching an icon in the dock or swiping up from the dock (depending on Android version and/or your particular setup)? Most people would leave an app there even if it is on their homescreen: the point of the app drawer is a place where you can find all of your apps, rather than just the more important ones which you might put on your homescreen. But as said above, if you really don't want it in both places you can install and use an alternative "launcher".

The launcher is the app that provides your home screens and the app drawer. Most people probably just use the one that comes with the phone, and many probably don't even realise that there is an app producing these screens and think they are part of Android itself (in fact most manufacturers use their own launcher app, so this is one of the things that is least standardised between different phones). But there are many alternatives out there with different features and options, and one option that many of them have is the ability to hide an app from the app drawer. I also use Nova, which has that ability, but so do many others. So you can do this, but you may have to install a replacement app and then set your desktops up again.

I sometimes use Gboard as well as Swiftkey, and in the YouTube app etc, when entering text, e.g. for YT comments, For me pressing Carriage Return always gives me a new line, like for starting a new paragraph, and it's always been the same on various Android devices I've had. My YT comments won't post until I tap the blue arrow in the YT app. And is same with any app or browser for me.

So I don't really know what's gone wrong at your end, as to why tapping Carriage Return is apparently not working as it should. Somebody else may know?

Yeah see for both Facebook and Patreon there is no button to bust to post the comment it's just a text box and when you hit enter it posts the post. But on laptop holding down Shift when I hit Enter will over ride the posting and put the cursor to the next line.

In fact I just found this video this is exactly what I want to do on the tablet but I tried this and it does not work unlike when I use it on my lapto.

Patron is just like this also facebook comments same thing no post button so enter is for posting what you typed unless you use Shift Enter to get new link. But how to do this on tablet???

Yes. I'm mostly copying Web articles.

agreed

Rooting does not prevent turning off WiFi, so you must have messed something up (possibly using root privileges to do so, or maybe during the rooting process). Therefore as @ocnbrze says we need to know what you actually did in order to help you.

In fact I'd add one further request: don't just tell us which guide or video you followed, tell us what you actually did. Because if you skipped a step, or used a different file (e.g. a custom recovery intended for a different model) then the guide you used won't tell us that and so we still won't be able to guess what went wrong.

If we can't figure it out then your solution will be to completely reflash the whole device with stock software. This will undo the rooting, but should also undo any mistakes. How you do this depends on what device you have. Of course if you used a custom recovery (the correct one for your device) and took a backup with it before you actually rooted the ROM then you could just restore that backup (any competent guide should tell you to make the backup before modifying the ROM, but it's amazing how many rooting guides fail to do this). Again that would remove root, but you'd still have your recovery so would have less to do if you wanted to try again.

First, try to never run the battery completely dead.
It is good practice to not do that.

Second, regardless of quality, there will be voltage drop when you use a longer cord, so the device will charge slower- sometimes so much so that if you are using the device it cannot keep up with battery use.

ok i might have an idea for you, go into wifi in settings and you should see my 3 dots at the top, click that and hit more or whatever the menu says there, you could have a wifi sleep setting on, if you can't find the menu then just go to settings and search for wifi or wifi settings, then every wifi setting should be listed, also you can enable developer mode, to to about phone click on software version i think, hit it like 5 times, if that isn't it then one of those Wil be it, but i belive it will definitely be a software version button that will enable it, then find your developer mode, towards the bottom look for networking and find wifi logging, turn it on, and then you will see exactly what is causing your disconnect problems

and finally it could be a problem with your phone thinking that the wifi networks are unsafe and it's kicking you off to protect your privacy, if so then search in settings for wifi trusted networks or anything to with that, hopefully one of those steps gets your phone to stay connected

Yeah, I know what you are saying here, but this device has none of that- all of my old devices do, and I found it very strange that this one does not.

Whatever this stupid Motorola app called Wi-Fi Manager is, it needs Google Play Services to be on- regardless if Google Play Services is blocked from the internet, or if it is reduced to its lowest level (both are true).

This tells me that it does not truely 'need' Google Play Services in order for the device to function, It is mearly a way for Google to try to ensure that the worst app of theirs remains active on the device.

Anyone that believes that Google is NOT nefarious can feel free to explain that one to me.

This is a perfect example of exactly why I disabled everything Google and refused to even put a Google account on the device in the first place.

It is funny because apart from this, the device is quite nice, in fact the best device I have owned to date.
It is nothing really special, but it does run rings around what I have used before.

I have both these apps installed on my Lenovo Yoga Tab 3. When I launch WPS Office the 'standard' keyboard appears and works OK. Nevertheless, I thought I might try using SwiftKey keyboard instead - but I can see no way of using it to input text to a WPS document. What am I missing? (And is it worth doing, anyhow?).

Click to expand...

I don't know the Lenovo Yoga, but this is WPS Office on my Samsung phone.




There's a keyboard icon at the bottom right, and that's used to select keyboards, like Gboard, Swiftkey, Samsung keyboard, etc. My previous Huawei phone, the keyboard was selected by pulling down the notification bar.
