if you can't boot up how did you do a factory reset? or did you mean that you did a hard reset via using some combo of the power button and volume buttons? if it was reset and still nothing is happening then you most likely will need to flash a firmware update, but there is no info on how do to that with your phone. so i would contact Assurance and see if they can fix it, or at least get it replaced for you.

which ones? just curious.. and maybe post back if you like them or not.

It's been 10 years since this post was started and I just found an excellent video that explains how to easily transfer large video files and have them actually play on a Windows 10 PC:

Since my phone has not been activated, I can't receive text messages. Why can't the send my verification code to my email address?? I have no number to call Samsung to talk to a customer service rep. HELP!!!!

Thanks everyone.
@kate, I'll definitely PM you when my Sim card is delivered.
The only reason I have to switch carriers is that the area of Michigan that I work at is literally a freakin dead spot, I can't dial out or receive calls and I don't get any internet either, making my cell phone useless.

I live in India. I have recorded calls on Android for several years here. There's no restriction here.

U must be one of the Lucky ones - apparently in my stupid country "Australia" it is Banned only on Samsung phones !!!

"call record" Banned or not working on Samsung galaxy A11 in Australia

are there any 3rd party apps that can record calls ??

clear cache and data for gmail. you will have to resign in, but hopefully that should fix the issue.

Any thoughts on a fix or is the tablet simply out of date?
Thanks

is this the sky go app? have you tried to uninstall and reinstall the app? also check manage your device and see if your device is lested or not. you may have to delete any other devices tied to the account.

also maybe head on over to:https://helpforum.sky.com/ for more help.

Hello. Do you work with Instagram? I want to create business page and sell my products. What ways to increase followers do you know for 2021?

Actually, we had the same kind of issues when we launched Six dots Software. But to save you some time, here are a few very useful tips:

- Use the correct hashtags to target the right audience: I cannot emphasize more on this, because the wrong hash tags means the wrong audience. This could literally cause issues.
- Use the most trending hashtags (there are free websites which show you the latest trends)
- Use the Instagram promotion tool to promote certain topics you want to emphasize.

If you need any more marketing advice, let me know.

It could have been refurbished

What does everyone use for a weather app? I want something that I can add a number of locations to as well as the ability to "follow me" and give me the weather where ever I am a t the moment. I have tries a few like 1Weather. It says it will follow your location but it rarely works if at all. I like Weather bug but I dont like the widgets they provide.

Been a huge fan of...

Transparent clock and weather - forecast and radar

... for a number of years. Highly configurable and follows my location. Excellent choice of widgets and weather icons, too. Tons of useful info in the app. You can also pre-programme multiple, alternative, locations. A real big boys toy. (See Screenshots)

One of 13 configurable clock & weather widgets

Not quite as good, for me, on location but offers a stunning choice of weather providers and a number of widgets as well as alternative locations, is...

Today Weather - Widget, Forecast, Radar & Alert

Ok, I've used the starting fluid, and the key hasn't budged. Then I hooked up the phone to a Dell, only to get that message about usb not being recognized. Next, I used that trick about changing USB settings. I'm not sure what good that did. I did get into the command line of minimal adb/fastboot. When I typed in fastboot devices (twice), there was no response. Maybe I'll have to try downloading drivers. The saga continues...

please answer on here

I started having the same duplication problems after my latest update in early summer 2021. Most of the posts in this thread were from years ago, but it's happening again. I got this workaround from an Android user forum on Google. Open the Settings on your phone, choose General Settings, then General Management. Select Text to Speech and choose Google Text to Speech. Then go back to General Management and choose Keyboard List and Default. Choose Google Voice Typing. I still don't know what caused this problem, but this workaround has worked for me, at least for now.

does this particular person have an iphone or android? iphone's have difficulties with mms, but i'm not sure how that translates with whatsapp.

maybe try and rebooting your router. it seems the issue is wifi.

I have never heard of a smartphone without Wi-Fi capability. It should be under Settings -- Connections/

Depending on phone, carrier and country, network settings may be restricted (that whole censorship thing, you know). If the carrier flashed the phone with firmware eliminating Wi-Fi, there's no way to enable it without rooting and re-flashing it. If that were the case, (a) the phone may not work on the carrier and (b) the authority requiring removal of Wi-Fi will find out via packet-sniffers and come knocking on your door).

Get some backup but in the meantime - get kid a Jitterbug phone, for calls only. Any internet use will be done on your PC, with you watching.

It's possible to not use any data with some navigation apps that let you download entire maps beforehand using WiFi. Since the map is already on the phone no data is used for GPS navigation.

Google Maps can also work offline by downloading maps in advance, but you can only download a small area (one city for example). Look for the options in the settings.

Using "GPS Only" for finding your location does not use any data - it communicates only with satellites in orbit, not carrier towers or WiFi.

If you mean she doesn't even use Google Play, she can download the OsmAnd Navigation APK from F-Droid:

Nexus 10 is a great feature phone. I likes these features and display quality.
