Would be nice to get this fixed. Who's in charge?

its most likely the app then. i would contact the developer and let them know about this.

Thanks, I have contacted them. Awaiting replies now.

Have you tried placing an unobtrusive object somewhere within the same range that the camera will focus on?

A stick in the ground, a stick hung from an overhead branch, or even something local that appears totally natural (a whole branch, a bird's nest, etc.) should give the camera something to concentrate on at a particular distance.

Or, perhaps there is a setting in the camera app that allows you to turn off the auto-focus altogether- so that you can set the focus where you want it to be and it should not change.

A funny thing happened in email. I was checking spam just in case of phone alerts and there was a message about somebody getting into his facebook account with an apple phone. As far as I know he has no such account or at least he doesn't use it and no way apple.

Phishing spam!
Do not answer that e-mail!

Plus, your friend seems like the type that should live close to a payphone.

Tapping the screen should wake the watch and present the lock screen. Is that not happening?

ah, this is perfect! thank you very much danny, this was an enormous help, exactly what i was looking for

It it working as desired, or not?
If not, it is most likely a setting in whatever media app you are using at the time.

For instance, BlackPlayer (a music player) has an audio setting called 'focus'.
This is where you can adjust the response to notifications while listening to music through the app.

I figured it out. With Samsung ear buds my phone could be on silent or vibrate and I could get notifications through my ear buds. With the new ones my phone can not be on silent or vibrate.

This should be retitled as APN settings, not Vpn settings.

Also, regardless if the info provided is correct- I tried this multiple times (information provided by Q-Link)- it still did not work.

I was forced to change providers.

Interestingly enough, the same device now works.

The service (through T-Mobile) is horrible.

thank you so much for your advice! It really matters to me!

Something else to consider...
what app are you wanting to run?

If the app has been around for a while, there may be an older version of it that will work on such a device.

Cover story.

The Men In Black don't want another Roswell. It's only taken the government seventy-something years to admit that UFOs were real. (At least the unidentified part.)

It’s the stock sms app for Samsung galaxy s21

Click to expand...

FWIW I have a Galaxy Note20 Ultra, and I've not seen that icon on this device in the stock SMS app.

A contact that's setup for group messaging? Just a guess.

It's a new feature in Android 11. It's based on FB messenger's chat heads.

Click to expand...

I do have an Android 11 device myself, A Samsung Note20 Ultra I bought last month. Anyway I just found Bubbles in the advanced notifications settings. It was OFF, so I turned it ON, and will wait and see what happens. I don't use FB Messenger either, and I receive most messages via WeChat, which I don't know if it does this Bubbles thing or not.

OP may have corrected themselves

I am trying to watch the NBCSports app on my Samsung Galaxy a10e and it says my subscription doesn't include NBCSports even though it does. I deleted both the Xfinity Stream app and the NBCSports app and deleted my cache and history. Upon reinstalling the NBCSports app, when I try to verify Xfinity as my provider, it automatically says I do not have a subscription even though I never entered an account and the Xfinity app is not installed. I am convinced that this login information is embedded somewhere and I want to delete it. Any other provider I choose it asks me for a username and password, but if I select Xfinity it's just automatically accessed somehow. Please help

The site that the app takes you to recognizes the device you are using.

Your device identifies itself to every site you browse.

Try logging in with a browser instead.

If that fails, try it again while using a VPN.

Given enough RAM, certainly. I'd want at least 16GB if you're going to be running multiple virtual machines concurrently.

You stated that you are adding subtitles.

How/when/why are you adding subtitles?

Click to expand...

Maybe he means downloading separate subtitle files, e.g. .SRT files from sites like https://www.opensubtitles.com/en

I've only done this myself for movies to show to the students occasionally, where they need English captions for things like Harry Potter movies. Then what I do is use Handbrake, to burn the subtitles into the video(hard captions), to play them on the classroom PC and large screen.

But usually if one is using a player like VLC or Kodi, they can use the separate subtitle files and display them in the videos.

I think it does have both sensors, because before the factory reset they did tests and they worked. The problem begins after formatting and it was not necessary to do it because the Huawei was clean, without information from the previous person, only with a google account and that is why I wanted to start the cell phone from 0. I think it could be updated at the time factory reset to emui 10.1 and maybe this generates the error. Can be?

Is this proximity sensor related to facial recognition?

Click to expand...

Facial recognition is always done with the camera, and on many phones there are separate proximity sensors in the bezels.

However on a P30, the front is pretty much all screen with minimal bezels, there's one small notch for the camera, and no other obvious lenses or sensors. I guess this phone is using the camera as a proximity sensor during phone calls. Why it isn't working though, no real idea, except perhaps a software problem?


I've got a Huawei Mate10 here, and that definitely has a proximity sensor in the top bezel, next to the camera. I also have a Samsung Note20 Ultra, and that's similar to the Huawei P30, it's all display, with no obvious proximity sensors, apart from the camera hole in the display.

I switched to smasung from meizu. I like the screen of this phone the most.

Click to expand...

Meizu, I just don't see much of them these days, and that's here in China, unlike Huawei, Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, Samsung, Apple, etc.. Meizu hardly has any retail presence at all now.

About six years ago I nearly bought a Meizu phone, but what put me off was their highly customized version of Android, Flyme OS, which is basically made to look and work much more like Apple iOS. I've even been to the Meizu HQ and factory in Zhuhai, to do some English corners.

For information, here's a list of BT headphones and headsets that officially support aptX.

I have played with the audio settings in developers options before, and had the same experience as yourself.

I figure that I don't have an app that is able to make uae of such settings, and so they revert to the default.

Click to expand...

Usually it's the BT audio device itself, either they support certain codecs or they don't. All BT headphones and speakers must support SBC though, as that's in the specs for the A2DP stereo music profile. Other codecs are optional for manufacturers, like aptX licensed from Qualcomm, or LDAC licensed from Sony.

Thanks

I ended up going with an LG K92 5G with Android 10. No issues recording at all. Very strange. Of note, I noticed that Cube would not appear in Play for my phone but would appear for every other phone. If I emailed myself the link through Play, then I would see "not compatible with this device" on the Stylo 6.

Click to expand...

Are you saying that cube ACR is not showing up in the Play store for your Stylo 6?

I always check F-Droid for all utility apps long before I go to other appstores.

Thank you all for your advice.

Button Mapper would be one app, where this is possible, I found. (eventough it might also overwrite the normal volumeup button)
