Well bear in mind that any bloatware they have installed has probably been installed to /system, which means you can't move it even if your device has those features. The best thing to do with that stuff is uninstall any updates, clear the app's storage and disable to app (so it can't update or store new data, and doesn't appear in the app drawer to annoy you).

Yes, this is a common feature on many SMS apps, especially third-party apps, and if the built-in app doesn't do what you want you should not settle for it (there's nothing special about a manufacturer's SMS app).

I don't use this feature, but as examples Textra (my current default SMS app) lets you set a maximum number of messages to keep (per conversation, separate limits for SMS and MMS), while QKSMS (which I used recently) lets you auto-delete messages above a certain age. The stock app on my phone (Google's Messages app) does not have this feature, but having few options is typical for Google apps (one reason I replace almost all of them).

Just use an app that turns the screen off when it is face down.

Basically the proximity sensor can be used in this manner.

Good day,

Yesterday I connected my Huawei P30 Pro with Android version 10 to my PC with Windows 10 via USB as usual. The computer did not recognise the device as a USB device. So I tried to change some settings in the device. When I then switched off the developer mode, I was no longer able to select any USB-related settings in the settings. The entries still appeared in the menu and in the menu-internal search, but could no longer be selected.

I then tried to solve the problem by resetting the network settings. Now all the USB-related entries no longer even appear in the system settings. When I plug it in, however, the "USB usage" dialogue appears and when I select "Enter MIDI", the computer recognises the device. However, data transfer is not possible in any of the modes.

I would like to avoid resetting the device completely, is there another possibility, maybe reinstalling the USB driver manually or similar?

Many thanks in advance for your help!

I have same problem I take picture at night time and it will alway have the blue pixel on screen. I have try to zoom in to the picture for me to see what is the problem but always not obvious what problem is. Please indicate with a reply what I should do so that this problem can be fix ASAP as possibly. This is very important that you reply with fix so that all next Samsung phones will be best than the old Samsung phones. Tahnks!

well it can be of two things....software or hardware. you can do a a factory reset and see if that helped. if not, then it is hardware and looks like it is time for an upgrade.

I have since my earlier Post used Transfer Companion to transfer Text messages from my phone to my comp and print out what I wanted.
To transfer Messages, Music and other files between your Phone and your PC you need to install Droid Transfer onto your PC and Transfer Companion on your Android device. You can use your USB cable or WiFi to do the transfer. Worked great for me.

Hi to to the Deleted User, who apparently shut down

Great snag, @marctronixx !

The tech blogosphere rumor mill had been full of word that the Z Fold 3 would have One UI 3.5 out of the box - but I guess it wasn't quite ready. In that case, we may not even see it since Android 12 is expected in December or January with One UI 4.0

whatever battery you get make sure it's from 2020 and is not an old one.
look at the listing and make sure and verify that it has an image there for the battery if it said it was made in 2020 or at least better off than getting an original OEM battery that's from 2016

if people only knew what is actually capable of happening to your phones and how vulnerable you are just from your own carriers you probably think twice before carrying one of these devices.

sadly it's just too slow to give a really good video out but I mean it works over Chromecast and there's some other applications that may make it work however I've never really had really great success with it looking great but it's possible to do but again you're limited to the 2.4 gigahertz band and so I can be an issue.

they have the OnePlus phones that are able to do all this stuff and More in our Flagship and are available for about $130 on eBay with just a slight little bit of screen burn-in and that's probably the best way to go as a dongle will cost you about 20 or 30 bucks and really it's not worth it when you can purchase a phone that does all of this out of the box

I've looked into this as well and basically for me I think I'm just going to go the routing option and then add applications as I'm going along.

it's still a great phone and has some great hardware specs but Laurel is moved on. the fact today you can get a phone with 8 gigabytes of RAM and 256 gigabytes of internal memory for around a couple hundred bucks or less and if you get something that's refurbished or used then it's around $100 that were Flagship phones just last year really does tell you a little bit about the value proposition of messing with the older Hardware.

from what I understand the Samsung S3 still has pretty good support and I still have one of those but then again I just kind of use it cuz I like the OLED display.

1 places like Walmart mobile and other value carriers no longer support the phone you know there's some things that are going on with it

it might be bad you can probably replace it but again it shouldn't actually do any crackling and if it's really crackling really bad that means that it's basically clipping which is probably a hardware problem but again I'm pretty sure it's just a speaker is blown out

Interesting. One of the ways I tried to exit was swipe up, to no avail. However, if my finger starts at the very bottom of the screen, that works. Also interesting is that a few days ago, if I were in settings, for example, I could tap down symbols and left symbols and back out of where-ever I was. Now the same apps (settings, texting, etc.) don't show those navigation helps. Oh, well, by trial and error, mostly error, I have another way to exit an app. I still hate it when I turn on the phone and immediately find myself in Spotify or some such, that I Did Not Choose! At least now I know a way to get out of it.

I think that is Alexa

I can confirm.

Try using the proximity sensor.
It will turn the screen off during a call, but not lock it whenever the sensor is covered.

Most devices do this automatically if the sensor exists (I have seen only one modern device without one), but there are apps that can do this for you as well.

(Let me know about this one, I haven't tried it yet.)


Also able to do this and more is my favorite one of this type, WaveUp.

You may need to verify the card's security code before being able to "activate" it on the new phone.

Yes, that's what happened
Hopefully will all be fine when I pay for the first time !

i picked up the spen case, but i dont use my fold 2 in a case and wont use the fold 3 in one. i use a pouch and will keep both spens in the pouch. there is plenty of room for it.

I just ordered 2 of them. Make sure the battery is made in 2020. You don't want a 4 year old Lithium Ion Battery going back in. Don't bother with the sticky 3M stuff if its for yourself. You will be getting a new one in a little over a year and some change anyways.

I think I Did order from Ebay. ANd I got 2 of them that say made in 2020. Thats still almost 2 years old at this point. But at elast its not from 2016. That's almost 6 years in a few months.

I think I got 2 of them for 10 bucks!
https://www.ebay.com/ipp/123618382353?transactionId=2437794682002&_trksid=p2047675.l48352

They are back up to 12 bucks again, each, but look at the date code:


I scored!

Runtime is still not as good as when new back in 2016 when I got the phone, but its not bad. At least it will drain to 3% without dying early. But I doubt any of these are going to be FULL capacity as they are still pushing 2 years at this point.

Batteries arrived with about 32% charge.

So far, seems to be doing pretty good. I have 23 hours of Standby on Battery saver mode selected at 73%. So not all bad. Wifi is on. For $5 bucks and free shipping, I could not complain about it really.

Seems they are holding up just fine. But they have only had a 3 charge cycles so far. And out f those, none of them at more then 50% Depth of discharge so far on mine.

My sons new ZTE, did at least one charge cycle so far, and its been rebooting for over 2 hours at one point, and seems to have lasted a while with the scree being on Full brightness most of the time. And I think it still had 20% in the tank when I put it on the charger. So they do seem to be good Batteries.

OEM is going to be a Bad idea at this point as ZTE no longer really supports the phone outside of the Big carriers.

I will have to test uder hard load, but I think they have at least 3000 to use. So I scored.

Look for the newest ones you can get. That's my advice.

ok so i found this:

i would try this instead of the other guide.....unless you have the g710 model

I believe I have a variant of the G710. I’m pretty sure everyone that has a G7 has . Anyways the model I have is at the bottom of the “getvar”.

Edit: I tried it, no dice.
