Hotspot not working

Once again sorry for the long wait between updates. I've tried all of your suggestions(Thank you very much for all of your help, BTW) and nothing seemed to work. Just today I went in and paid my bill. I asked the employee that I talked to about the issue. At this point I had reached my wit's end(almost $100/month isn't worth it if I can't use the hotspot for my other devices). She informed me that it had been happening at an abnormally high rate as of late but she had no clue why. I decide to give fixing my hotspot issue one more try before I switch to another service provider and paid my normal rate. I get home after work and low and behold the hotspot is working again!

I'm still racking my brain to try and figure out what the problem was. Whatever it was, it has to have been on MetroPCS's end. Maybe it is due to T-Mobile(their parent network) going 5G, or employee error or something else entirely. Either way I'll give it another month and if this happens again upon the next iteration of my billing cycle I'll be switching to another provider. Thank you guys for the help and input!

.thumbnails folder location on Android phone

It's different, for sure, at least in my limited experience.

But it is nothing to worry about.

If the folder grows to a large enough size to become a burden on the system, then this can be prevented by deleting the folder and then adding an empty file with the exact same name.

Android will not allow multiple files or folders with the same name to exist in the same area, so this will prevent the system from making a new folder.

Because you created a file and not a folder, the system also will not add to the contents of it.

iPhone to Andriod

Of the three, only Samsung has the micro-sd card. This is useful if you have lots of media files: music, movies, etc. There is a new phone each year. S10, S20, S21, S22, etc. Each time you change the phone, all that is needed is to remove the micro-sd card from the old phone and insert to the new phone. This is very helpful if you have a large library of music, movies, videos, etc on the micro-sd card. A good brand to buy will be the Samsung EVO Plus micro-sd cards. It comes in 64GB, 128GB, 256GB, 512GB or even 1TB.

Another reason to use a phone with micro-sd card is for the large storage capacity. You have a phone with top-of-the-line that shoots the best pictures and 4K videos that can have very large video files. For cost reasons, people are likely to buy a phone with 128GB storage instead of 256GB storage. That 128GB phone does not have enough room to store your 4K videos that you shoot on a day trip. Even with a 256GB storage phone, that might be an issue if you shoot a lot of HD videos. This is where a 1TB or 512GB micro-sd card comes in handy, storage is limitless as when the micro-sd card is full, you can pop out the micro-sd card that is full and insert a blank micro-sd card.

** S21 does not have micro-sd card. S21 FE is rumored to have the micro-sd card and hopefully Samsung will put the micro-sd card back for S22.

How root Docomo sh_04g

How root Docomo sh 04g
why?

there is no development community for your phone. there is no custom recovery which is your number one tool when you are rooted. i would never root a phone unless i have a custom recovery. custom recoveries can flash custom roms & kernels. they can also make nandroid backups. these are complete backup of your phone.....so if you screw up or something went went wrong, you can just go into recovery and restore a previous back up.

TBH i would not recommend that you root your phone.....that is if you can find a way to do it.

Help How to stop t-mobile notifications ?

That seems more like your typical adware type thing.

First suspicions would be any app installed within the last week or so.

It would be easier a while back, because apps that have ads used to show them soon after install and use.

Now, many apps wait a certain amout of time before they begin showing ads.

Check out the apps that you recently installed, and clear the caches of all of them.
Ads are usually stored in the cache of apps.

If you can narrow it fown to which app the ads came from, you can uninstall it.
Before you do, be sure to clear all data of the app before you uninstall it.

Some apps will place their ads in a different area, and they will remsin and contiue after the app is uninstalled.

Deleteing all data before uninstallation helps to prevent this.

IMO apps that do either of these things desearve no place on my device.

If you 'just can't live without' an ad-filled app, then you have some options as well.

Can't record videos when it's sunny outside?

I need to post a complaint about my device too.

I cannot successfully wipe my butt with my PHONE.

It is not soft or absorbent, but I really want to use it in place of toilet paper and my experience was terrible.

Damn Android!


Also, today I got into my car, and tried to drive to the moon.

It didn't work, and boy am I pissed!

Why can't these auto manufacturers build a car worth two rat turds?

storage settings question

hey, thanks, yes am going to install LIGHTNING, as you say.

I am also using another app to download all photos from my phone to my hard drive, then I am going to figure out the best way to delete all the photos from the phone, that should save some hard drive space!

thanks again for everything!

w

To copy the photos from your phone to your hard drive (on a PC, I presume?) use NitroShare.

As long as both devices are on the same Wi-Fi, it works great.

https://f-droid.org/en/packages/net.nitroshare.android/

Then after you have verified that the photos have transfered (look at them) you can delete them from your phone.

Error to send Firebase token to Wordpress plugin (missing os parameter)

I'm trying to connect posts from a Wordpress website using the Wordpress plugin and Firebase for cloud messaging. So whenever there's a new post in the website, the app users will receive a notification about it First, I need to send an API POST request with the device's token to the plugin. Ex:

URL structure: http://yoursite/pnfw/register/

Method: POST

Parameters: token (string): token given by APNs or FCM identifying the device, often called device ID (read here for devices without token, e.g. iOS simulator). os (string): operating system. It must be iOS or Android (case sensitive).

--Sample request for new registration: POST /pnfw/register/ HTTP/1.1 Host: yoursite Content-Length: 26 Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

token=new_device_id&os=iOS

It is working when I test the API, but Android Studio keeps sending me this response:

Any help would be appreciated. I've been stuck in this issue for three days now.

Help How to download Castle crush unlimited gems, coins 2021?

Castle Crush is an exciting strategy game for mobile devices. I'm looking for unlimited gems, coins version on Google Play but it's not there. How can I download Castle crush unlimited gems, coins?
It's probably not on the play store because that's kind of like stealing from the game developers. They want you to buy those items like the game intends you to do.

Just google it, if you want to cheat the game and screw the developers out of their hard earned money.

The morgue

Gets everybody, everytime.
No, not necessarily. Depending on the circumstances of the death, the person may be taken straight to a mortuary, as in my mom's case; she died at home, and was under hospice care--their doctor signed off on the death and that was that. Since there was nothing suspicious about her death, and no need for an autopsy, she went straight to the mortuary.

S21 Ultra send text over blue tooth

I have noticed that when I push the voice button on my steering wheel that google assistant comes up on my phone but the voice is muted on my truck speakers while on bluetooth. But if I connect by USB cable everything works fine. I have been on google and did a search and this issue seems to have been around for awhile and I have not been able to find a solution. Does anyone know of a solution to get google assistant to work over
bluetooth ? I do not think I should have to plug a USB cable into my phone every time I step into my truck just to send a text message.
