Help A20 has a new text message counter on dock. A51 does not. Why?

A
Wow! Two Metro stores and a call to Tech Support could not help. One Samsung store turned on floating bubbles which were annoying. I did a search for "icon badges" using the double down swipe and found the switch.

ocnbrze found the cure, whereas four other businesses could not. Thank you so much. The A51 now shows the badges like the A20. Soooooooo useful.

Unexpected lockups

D
I have cleared the cache on the worst affected, and that seems to be clear now, but I will watch for it recurring over the next few days.
You mentioned 'Play Services', is that a separate app as it doesn't show up for me. I do see others like Play Music, but not Play Services.
Thanks for the assist.

Nokia 2.4 files.

Hello, Thank you for the reply. I will look into your idea for direction finding. I have had two vaccinations but not been able as of yet to get our NHS to put it on a phone but as it will be needed for travel that will have to happen / We in Scotland do not even get a card with it on which my sons in England have had no problem with. I hope to travel back to America as soon as it is allowed and this could be my last time as I have failing kidneys. It takes me a week to get to South Carolina as the Shetland isles are 12 to 14 hours on the ferry to Aberdeen. It may take longer than a week this time due to covid tests. I could fly fro the island to Aberdeen but I do not like the air service here. I am only allowed three months there but an America / coming here can stay for six months.Thank you once again and stay safe.

Sounds a helluva journey but I hope it goes calmly and uncrowded for you, and you'll be staying overnights.

You may need a smartphone more in the US.

Help Apps don't show notifications until opened and can't get started by other applications

C
Dear Android Forums!

first: yes i used the search function although i couldn't find a thread which addresses my issue in general, also i tried a few of the fixes regarding the notifications although it didn't solve my problem.

Phone: Doogee S88 Plus
OS: Android 10

I received this phone a while back and i'm pretty happy about it, although i noticed a very strange behaviour regarding nearly all apps.
Apperantly, every app that isn't a foreground app, will get killed or at least will not send notifications until they are opened which, you sure can think, is damn annoying.
Also, apps won't start with Android Auto, except Google Apps like News, calendar, maps and such. Spotify, Audible and every "external" apps will refuse to start on android auto until i open them manually on the phone, then they will show up on my car as well.

i checked the installed software and noticed a preinstalled energy saving app (which is funny with an 10Ah battery but well
biggrin.png
) called com.cydroid.softmanager
Thinking this could be an issue i uninstalled/deactivated the app via ADB, although it didn't get better in any form.

And yes, of course i checked the battery optimization which is turned off for the usual apps which send notifications like Signal, Threema, Outlook, Authenticator and such
As i use Signal as my SMS/MMS app, i can say that i will not receive SMS/MMS notifications as well, i will receive them if i use the standard SMS app Messages though.
Also notifications in general are activated.

Maybe it has something to do with Doze? I'm currently at my wit's end.

I already thought about rooting the device, although it doesnt seems like that there is any rom out there for it, it has the option for OEM Bootloader unlock in the dev options though, but to be honest it's been a long while since i rooted android devices except from Samsung.

Hopefully you guys can help me!

Kind regards

**edit**
also i think it has to do with the background apps in general since foreground apps like my VPN (Cyberghost) will keep running without issues

also i noticed if i restart the phone all the apps will start correctly in the background, so it seems, since i'll get the notifications immediately

Apps Can't get info back into android app from php webpage

C
Hello

My english is very bad, so i hope you understand.

I make my own apps, and most off the time in fragment activities
On my website i have a php script, that will check if the username and password is correct filled in in the application.

I hace to get back from the website the userID, firstname and email address from the database, this info is stored in a json format like below:
Code: 
$result1["rol"] = $rol;
        $result1["login"] = $login;
        $result1["username"] = $Qusername;
        $result1["userid"] = $userID;
        $result1["mail"] = $Qmail;
        echo json_encode($result1);

login is a 0 or 1 for check if the user is correct login.

ut how to get the $result1 back to android.....

I have the following on my website visible

Code: 
{"rol":"9","login":"1","username":"christiaan","userid":"9998","mail":"c.***@h***e.nl"}


And I tried to read that in android with:


Code: 
val apiResponse = URL(urlW).readText()


val url = URL(urlW)

val urlConnection = url.openConnection() as HttpURLConnection

val text = urlConnection.inputStream.bufferedReader().readText()

tUser.text = text

urlConnection.disconnect()

urlW contains the full link.


I write app in kotlin.

Okay thanks for your help. I don't use much of hard memory and my PCuses less than 0.5T. I can add more memory.

Thanks for all your help.

just keep in mind that the os takes up part of that 32 gigs and not all apps will move to the sd card. so if you just keep to only surfing the net, then 32 gigs should be fine. but if you plan on installing some apps, it will get full pretty quick. my 32 gig Tab A only has a few apps and and it is already getting full.

App idea

A
Thanks for the positive feedback. Feel free to forward to someone who could do something with this. I'm actually not looking for anything for myself, I just like to see tech solve real world problems. I did see someone came up with part of this idea in the past year, but have not seen anything about this since then. Actually, I posted this 4 years ago and was told it was not possible at that time. I think it is possible now, just a few thousand lines of code between this idea and greater personal safety. I was thinking of calling the groups "Hives" for what it's worth. Just like colonies of bees, you would only be one phrase away from any of your select hives.

The reason for a phrase is to reduce the chance of mistakenly sending an alert. I might mistakenly say "mouse" someday, but I would only say "succulent mouse" if I wanted to send an alert to my close friends that I am walking home from the bar alone at 2 am and I am afraid. [This scenario pure fabrication by the way. At 2 am I am fast asleep.] The users can use their imagination, or better yet, one part of this app can auto-generate phrases they could use. Word combinations that are not commonly used together like: Green Jupiter, Cow gloves, Ground Bats, etc. Words that are less likely to be misheard by the receiver. You could even add a challenge response like, "Did you just say Green Jupiter?" An answer of "Yes" would send the alert to the group you associated with that phrase. This makes it almost impossible for anyone to know what you are doing and should eliminate the possibility of an accidental alert going out. The people in your hives would likely want you in their hives also. Sort of like an extension of your social network.

i'm sorry for your loss.

its not really. i'm not saying that you have bad intentions, but it would be the equivalent of us showing a thief how to steal data on a phone and guiding them thru the steps.

the only way to unlock the phone, if you do not have the codes or passwords, is to do a hard reset. and by doing that you will erase all of the data on the phone. your only hope is that the phone has an sd card and the photos have been saved there. if not then you might be sol........sorry
