Help Notifications, AGAIN. Utterly utterly infuriated

Hadron
I think GSMArena might even be being optimistic: I've browsed Sammobile.com and can't find anything newer than Android 7.0 for any S6 model. So this does seem very strange: as others have said, unless you are using custom software there's no way a Samsung Galaxy S6 would have Android 10, but equally you would know for sure if you had custom software (if you've had the phone for 5 years, i.e. longer than Android 10 has been out, the only way you could have an Android 10 ROM would be if you had installed it yourself). So there is something funny here.

Of course that doesn't explain why email notifications should stop. And if it just stopped working after you changed your password then it's clear where the problem lies. One thought: you say you logged out of and into the account in order to update the password, but did you update the password in Spike? A third party email app most likely does its own connection to the email server, so updating the password in the Google account on the phone probably wouldn't update it in a third party app: I changed my GMail password a few days ago and had to enter the new password into both of the email apps I have on my phone (in the apps' settings). So it might be worth checking that - if you can get that one working that would be something.

As for the GMail app (which I don't use myself), as a pre-installed app you can't uninstall it but you can uninstall all updates, after which you will see the latest version as an update in the Play Store which you can then install. Or you can clear the app's data completely and then re-connect it to the account (of course if you have more than one email account in the app that will clear them all). Or I guess just remove the account from the GMail app and then re-add it. But this is all just general guesswork: I got a bad impression of the GMail app back in 2010 and have never bothered using it since (I use third party apps for almost everything anyway, as I can usually find an alternative that I prefer).

Help mysterious headphone jack issues

Pranavww said:
I have LG G8x I have same problem but that happened when I cleaned it with a cotton bud . My right audio is too low to notice so I have to lower the left one and increase the volume , but still it somewhat noticeable if u find solution or completed repair please contact me IG~thegodofpubg

the right channel "receiver" (dont know what youd actually call it) might be partially blocked. take a flashlight and check for debris, if you see some I'd recommend compressed air, its pretty cheap. Or a small pair of tweezers if you're careful. If there isn't any debris you may have damaged it permanently, so either get some Bluetooth headphones (mine were like $10) or take it to a repair place. Or, probably not the case at this point, if you used rubbing alcohol you might just have to wait for it to dry, so avoid using the jack for a few hours. so basically most of what the first reply said, without the vast over-explantion. also you shouldn't be cleaning small ports with cotton swabs -- again, just use compressed air. its safer and does the job better imo.

Help Icon to start VLC player with SDP file

S
Hello,
I have installed VLC on my Samsung A40 and I am able to play a network stream by opening a SDP (session description) But the procedure is too complicated, I have to open Google Drive, search for the SDP File and then play it.
What I would like to have is
1) SDP file locally on the smartphone
2) icon on the screen that I touch to launch VLC with the SDP file.
Unfortunately I have no knowledge of the android file system, but I have access through USB

Thank you for advice

Tmobile Revvl 2/Revvl Plus 2 Owners?

jasonmerc said:
So for those of you that know me from XDA, you'll probably know that I failed miserably at delivering content for the original 1st gen Revvl and Revvl Plus. I think I let a lot of people down in that small community. But after my recent successes with the Vortex Synq and Orbic Wonder, I want to give this another try with the new knowledge I've obtained since then

I've got a few tricks up my sleeve I didn't have before, and I want to have a Round 2 against this Revvl lineup. I don't own this phone because I don't have Tmobile, but if anyone's willing to take the risk that owns one of these phones and wants to potentially make some cool stuff for it, let me know and we can work together to try and get something happening. Obviously I can't guarantee anything, but it's worth a try... hey, even if all we can get is root or TWRP, that's still a whole lot better than nothing

I have a T-Mobile Revvl Plus C3701A ( Codename: alchemy ) and i'm willing to take the risk
I have also captured a OTA update url for the device

apps stopping errors

C
i have the verizon ellipsis 10" tablet 5.1 os and i get everyday some type of error that an apps has stopped. most of the time it is the play store or some messenger. i just did a factory reset 3 times in a row to see if that would stop the error. i have went into the app and cleared the chase and dates and i still get the errors.

is there an app that can monitor these and let you set what apps to automatically clear them out?

plus i get a message tha sms is no longer supported and i can't get that notice to go away and all the notices are turned off.

this tablet runs 24-7 as a monitor for my security system so when the errors show up sometimes the security app goes away , or gets dim, or freezes. does anyone have a fix? before i did the factory reset i have most of the apps either turned off or disabled and i still had this issue, so this time i left them on as it would have come out of the box to see if maybe i had something turned off the tablet needed.

maybe i just have a tablet that has an internal issue and may have to find another one and see if it works, but before i do i sure would like to see if it just may be some app or switch that needs attentions.
update i tapped the sms no longer supported and it took me to the playstore and i then turned off the playstore tab and that message went away, lets see how long it stays gone. i do not need sms for a monitor.
thanks bp.

The "I Got Mine" and Unboxing Thread

Can send you a pair if you want?

I got about 6 pairs of ear buds in a drawer that came with various phones over the years, including Samsungs, never used and still sealed in their bags.



Maybe Samsung is trying to do their part for the environment? Like trying to reduce the amount of discarded ear buds that might otherwise go into landfill. :thumbsupdroid:

Well I can add two more pairs of unwanted earbuds to my collection.
1) A wired USB AKG set that came in the box with the new Note20 Ultra 5g.
2) A pair Bluetooth Galaxy Buds+, that also came with the above phone.
I did try them out, but as they're the rubber tipped type ones, I've never found satisfactory and are uncomfortable shoved in my ear canals.

So I'm using my Huawei FreeBuds 3, I bought last year, with the Note20, these I do like. As well as Sony and Bose headphones.

Gmail has stopped syncing with Moto G7!

Storage relates to data being written and retained in the internal storage media of your device.
Email syncing relates to the email app on your device actively interacting with your online email servers.
The two are only inter-related in that your email app is stored on your phone, as is its related data, but your insistence there's more than that is unfounded. Clearing your email app's data will remove all the retained settings and configuration data, essentially returning the app to its original, unused state. You then need to re-enter all your email log in info since it was wiped.
In this instance, I'd focus more on the actual problem instead, why your email app stopped syncing with your online email service. That's often an issue with your online connectivity (WiFi and/or mobile data), or an authentication issue (i.e. change of the account password or implementing 2FA), or if for some reason syncing was disabled in the Settings >> Accounts >> Google menu.)
Have you using a web browser app and logging into your account by going to https://mail.google.com to confirm there's not any online-related issues?

Samsung Galaxy a71 Has No Gyroscope?

Madd61 said:
I learned to delve into the website where prices change, higher storage versions are reduced to much less than the base model, price at checkout is reduced, you get regular automatic price coupons etc

Unusually this week they seem to only have reductions on mid spec models, but here in the UK site the Redmi Note 9 128gb is down to £119. The Redmi 9 (../A/S..) is normally cheaper but the Note 9 models have the gyroscope.

Keep an eye on it for fun if you may be buying in the near future. Hardware, build and specs are excellent.

Thanks, I'll keep an eye out. When I have money, that scammer responded to me saying she never said the phone was genuine, no returns. It said in the description "Japanese hand-made". Wow. lol

I think my local phone store has a Redmi note 9... I'm never buying a used phone again XD

Assistant apps compared

ocnbrze
yeah never used alexa on my phone. the google assistant works fairly well when i have used it. but i rarely do though. i can use google assistant when i'm driving and have the windows down with radio blasting and the wind blowing and it still picks up my voice pretty well.

not sure if that is because of my phonee, the note 10+ or it is because google assistant works that well.
