To enable message count badges on WhatsApp for a Samsung Galaxy S21:

1. Open your phone's "Settings."
2. Go to "Apps."
3. Find and select "WhatsApp."
4. Go to "App notifications."
5. Ensure that "App icon badges" or "Notification dots" are enabled.

If this doesn't work, it may be a phone-specific issue, and you might want to contact Samsung or check for software updates.
Otherwise download latest gb whatsapp version.

If these steps do not work, it is possible that there may be a phone-specific issue. In such cases, you can try contacting Samsung support or checking for software updates to ensure that your device is running the latest version.

Additionally, it is worth mentioning that using modified versions of WhatsApp, such as GB WhatsApp, may have different settings and features. If you have downloaded a modified version, you may need to explore its specific settings to enable message count badges.

unfortunately the only way to gain access to the phone is to do a hard reset. however, this will trip FRP (factory reset protection) so make sure they know the email and password used to setup the phone. if they do not know this than need to do forget password with google. also keep in mind that this wipe data, but at least they can get back into the phone.

any other discussion on how to bypass the lockscreen is forbidden to be discussed here. AF frowns upon such discussions.

edit: are sure you were in recovery?

You might try putting your A51 in safe made. It will halt activity of your installed apps and will show if it's an installed app problem. If the problem still exists your next step would be a factory reset of the device to see if it is a system problem. (make certain you back up your user added media and have your original Google login information to regain phone access) If the problem remains, it would be a hardware problem with the speakers.

Samsung Galaxy A51 - Restart in Safe Mode

1. Press and hold the. Power and Volume down buttons. (right edge) until the 'Power off' prompt appears on the screen then release.
2. Touch and hold. Power off. ...
3. To confirm, tap. Safe mode. ...
4. With Safe Mode enabled, ensure Airplane Mode is turned off then test device and app functionality.

I have tried safe mode and the problem still persisted with some music on my external storage.

Is the IMEI and/or MEID showing blank or invalid as well? I suspect you flashed an incorrect or faulty ROM for your S10+ version, and it's hosed the baseband. To fix you'd have to flash the correct stock firmware file for your particular S10+ variant.

Yes there can be depending on make and model of your phones. I've used Samsung Smart Switch to copy all the apps, files, pics, videos, etc from one device to another.

As long as you are using it for charging and not data transfer, I'm with Augie... they will all do the job. For use in an auto, I like charging cables that are coiled like an old phone receiver for ease of storage.
Doing a quick search on Amazon and found the cable I'm speaking of but could only find it sold in a set of two.

Hey all

Im trying to add an intent to my java code in order for login/register to be redirected to Main Activity. Have seen examples of intent around the web but unsure of how to add one within my code without messing it up. Does anyone know how to do so?

Thank ya😍

@Junior Weber & @olbriar Thank yall so very much for the help😍

An app called Notes on my phone has a setting under Phone Call Note called "Take important notes after a phone call." Uncheck it, I read that other note apps have a similar setting.

look into SCRCPY if your already on a wifi and think you might have Enabled adb over TCP/IP on your device if so you may be able to mirror USB C to USB A then switch to wireless mirroring with ur pc.. I got all the steps completed with just a tiny bit of the corner of my screen that was fine + a mouse with usbc adapter.. defiantly no chance if u dont have TCP/IP already enabled its in an impossible spot to do 100% blind

I didn't know that, good call. I didn't have, but now I do, reinstalled both app and server with fresh installs, and it works again. The old versions worked right until I did the Windows update, then wouldn't work afterwards. Some conflict between the old server version and the updated Win sys that wasn't an issue before? Sounds plausible.

Thanks man, I don't care how it works, just that it works.

I think there is a linguistic confusion here. It sounds like you are describing how to boot into the bootloader/fastboot mode in order to unlock the phone (using "fastboot oem unlock"), but that's not the same as "unlocking the feature".

OEM unlocking is a feature that can be found in the developer options menu on phones that have it at all. You need to enable it there before you can use it. You can reveal the developer options menu by repeatedly tapping the "build number" in the phone's software information. If your phone does not have an OEM unlocking option in developer options there is no trick to enable it. I'm saying this clearly because talking about "unlocking this feature" makes it sound like a hack to enable unlocking in phones which do not have it supported by the manufacturer, and I wouldn't want to waste the time of anyone who read it that way.

My Jeep/Mopar credit card is now signing on with face recognition. I only use this card when I get service at the Jeep/Dodge dealer because I get 5% cashback. I don't use it for any other purchases.

If you are unable to use an external camera, you can use the camera on your mobile phone for Snapchat.

maybe try this:

GPS Status & Toolbox - Apps on Google Play

Get a faster GPS fix! ...and so much more...

play.google.com

it might help get a better gps lock. i would use this app first before starting your walk.

do you have samsung health? i use that when i go for a walk. it is great as it will actually track my path and give me stats about my walk.

Click to expand...

Actually I'm a distance runner and use a Stryd chip for distance when running, but it isn't suitable for walking. I just use my phone GPS to see how far I am walking the dog. I do get a GPS map when running also, but that is just cosmetic since I get distance from Stryd. It is just that I notice that the quality of the map (from Garmin GPS) has deteriorated badly over the last month, as well as any GPS maps produced by my phone. I don't see how both devices, phone and Garmin, could have developed an issue at the same time.

I'll give that a go, gotta wait for another notification now

Dear All,



I'm thrilled to share some exciting news with you all! My game, Fashion Hole, has just been published by MondayOFF, marking a significant milestone in my game development journey.


Fashion Hole is a casual game that brings a unique twist to the gaming experience with features like beautiful supermodels, catwalking fun, clothing brand parodies, and attractive levels.

Google Play Link:

Please try it and give me your feedbacks.

Thank you.

not much you can do. other than waiting to see if the developer responds. if you had backed it up using some kind of utility program that some manufacturers provide such as Samsung's Smart switch, then restoring the data should be pretty easy.....but alas sounds like you did not......sorry but i think your out of luck.

Try forgetting the connection in BT settings and then establish the connection again.

With video playing slow and no earbuds connecting, it might be time to do a reset of your phone.
If you do decide to try a reset, be sure to backup all of your personal content.

You have texts in your call log? That's not something I've ever seen (and I've used every Android version since 2.1 apart from 6.0 which I skipped over). I guess this might be a carrier-specific software modification, or maybe something a particular manufacturer does, but it does make it harder to figure out what's happening.

But why would he be adding your name to an RCS chat with someone he doesn't want you to know you are chatting to? And if you have RCS you'd see the messages if he did that, whereas if you don't why would anything appear on your phone at all (unless the message app reverted to SMS, in which case you'd get the messages). Why do you think this is what's happening?

No, you don't. If you want to move on that's enough.

weird that an update corrected the issue......thanks for posting your solution. it might help others who come here looking for answers to their that was similar to yours.

Has this ever been updated since 10 yrs ago? I dearly loved this game on my Windows phone and never found the Android version. Would love to see it!

Something that @The_Chief mentioned in his post that really hit home with me, was the bond he mentioned with others. You develop a camaraderie, a trust like you have never felt before.

That happens in many fields, but dealing with combat with another (or group) is quite another thing all together.
