I found the original weather app on my phone. I'm assuming it's the original because when you go to the app settings, it doesn't let you disable or delete it. And i had Iooked though my apps many times before looking for anything "weather" related. Found nothing. It seems this weather app appeared out of nowhere. And I haven't downloaded anything for a long time. It's completely different from the app I was using. I don't like it all. When you click on certain things, it takes you to the Accuweather website. I don't like that. My old app didn't do that. Maybe in the past, I downloaded a weather app, but I sure don't remember deleting a weather app. I've searched and searched for what I had with no luck. Maybe, Samsung Galaxy S7 changed the original app! Wish I knew what app I was using. I loved it. Google Play Store use to have an option to look at all your apps you've ever downloaded, but they no longer have that option. Unless I just cant find it.oh well. Thanks guys for all your feedback and help!!

Cheapest Android phone that can run 5ghz wifi?

kate
Look in the WiFi settings - tap the 3 dot menu and tap Advanced WiFi. Is there an option for Dual Band WiFi, or something similar?

Does your router have a separate SSID for the 5Ghz channel?

Where do you see 5Ghz WiFi listed? LG spec pages don't mention it for either phone:
https://www.lg.com/us/cell-phones/lg-L211BL-tracfone-rebel-4-gsm
https://www.lg.com/us/cell-phones/lg-L212VL-tracfone-rebel-4
https://www.lg.com/us/cell-phones/lg-lgl322dlatrfbky-tracfone-journey-lte
https://www.lg.com/us/support/products/documents/Datasheet_LG_LG Journey LTE_Tracfone_0626.pdf

Rebel 4 specs say 802.11b/g/n which is 2.4Ghz.

Look for a phone that supports "WiFi 5" or "802.11 a/b/g/n/ac."

Help Interrupted the Factory Reset - Now Only Black Screen

Hey, I meant to send this ages ago. But thank you so much. Your link fixed everything. I needed to download further "flashing" software or something. I got it from like an Eastern European site. But it worked. And fixed everything. I got it going, but YouTube wouldn't update and I couldn't even find Evernote in the Google Play store. Which were my main two apps. But now for some reason, the thing won't even turn ON, nor even charge anymore. But your advice helped and I fixed it for a time. Thank you

Screen Black Voice says Screen off Ringer mute

Try a different charging cord.

Back to the assistance, you only have to qualify for assistance- not actually receive it.

A copy of a tax return will suffice.

So long as income is at or below ~130% of "poverty level" you will get a free phone and service.

Some of the companies differ, but generally the first phone is free.

The recent changes in the program means that at least for me the cellular service is not great (it used to be) but so long as I can find some Wi-Fi I do well.

Can't Get Foober to see & Play Music Folder

Yeah, its there somewhere.
Files, or something similar.

Yet another reason I stay away from Samsung- just too many inane differences.

Anyway, just use this one for now, just for simplicity.

Simple tools is the one I use as default, the one that came with oneplus was one of those annoying file managers that assumes that your only reason for browsing your file system is to look for photos.

Wait 24 hours and try again

have you tried logging in from a web browser? why did you factory reset? how did you reset the device? from settings? or did you do a hard reset using buttons combo's of power + volume buttons? if you so, then you tripped FRP(Factory reset protection) and you will need to log in with the original email that was used to setup the device. is this a used phone? or brand new to you?

Hi. Iwas using Ak Notepad up to Monday 5/25/15. i never knew that the app & website were closing down. Now, I can't get in to the app and my old password will not work. Catch.com is no longer active ?? Any ideas to see or retrieve the data. The back up is not a good one.

One solution is to export each note individually; they're stored in the root under AK_NOTEPAD_EXPORTED_NOTES

Fatality: 2020

rootabaga
As Moody was very sad to open the 2020 thread, I’m also very sad to update this thread with news of gymnast Kurt Thomas’ untimely death (in June 2020) at 64 following a stroke.

Every male gymnast uses moves he pioneered in the 70s and he was well poised to take the 1980 Olympics by storm…until Russia invaded Afghanistan and we boycotted the games.
Article here if you are interested: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/07/sports/kurt-thomas-dead.html

RIP, Kurt, and thanks for being an inspiration to so many and for helping the US launch a solid pursuit of excellence into men’s gymnastics.
