VLC media player stopped working.

Much as I hate to say it about the faithful Samsung Galaxy S2... the old girl has seen better days.

  • Almost 10 years old
  • 1GB RAM
  • Android 4.1 Jelly Bean
  • Exynos 4210 at 1.2GHz dual core

I very much doubt that VLC even supports the Samsung Galaxy S2 nowadays. try contacting the VLC developers and see if this is the case... videolan.android@gmail.com

If you do decide to retire your S2... treat her with respect. ;)

APN settings can not be edited/added on unlocked Nokia 2.3.

D
I've had this phone for about a year and have had intermittent issues with MMS and data usage. It is an unlocked phone. My carrier is Walmart Family Mobile.
Under my APN settings, there is T-Mobile and T-Mobile MMS. I verified with my carrier that they should be set to tracfone.
I am unable to edit the existing APN settings, and whenever I add a new one with the correct information and click "Save" it takes me back to the previous screen with no new APNs to choose from. I have power cycled a hundred times, reset all my APN and network settings, used third-party APN apps (that bring me to the correct screen but with all options to edit greyed out still), updated my APN through my carriers website at which point I received a text saying "We are sending your phone an update." but after an hour and multiple restarts I still only have the T-Mobile options. I've done everything I can think of to try and fix it. My carrier said there's nothing they can do about it since it won't let me add a new APN. Is there anything I can do? This has been such a hellishly annoying issue.
The thing is, it works occasionally. I'll get a flood of backed up MMS messages from the last few days, and then I can no longer send or receive them. I imagine that has to be because Wal-Mart Family Mobile uses T-Mobile's towers, but I don't know. It's not a T-Mobile SIM card, it's the one I was sent when I signed up for the plan. And like I said, it is definitely an unlocked phone. I don't understand why T-Mobile has any business forcing their APNs onto my phone. Am I SOL or is there something I can do to force my phone to accept my carriers network information?
By default, my network is set to HOME. Occasionally, when I open my network settings, it shows my network as Family Mobile and then immediately switches back to HOME. When trying to select a network manually, HOME is the only option available.
Help please?

Help Cannot fully uninstall Snapchat

Hadron said:
Unless you somehow installed it to system uninstalling it will mean uninstalling, end of story. If you did install it to system then with an unrooted device you'd not actually be able to uninstall it, and I've met, albeit many years ago, cases where an app that had been moved to system appeared to uninstall but would come back if e.g. you rebooted the phone. But of course you should also need root to install anything to system - though Android 5 may have vulnerabilities that would allow this without rooting the device, and as noted I don't entirely trust anything downloaded from Aptoide.

On that note though, if the problem were that it has somehow been installed to system a factory reset wouldn't fix it: that just erases user-installed apps and data, and does nothing at all to the system partition. So before you resort to a reset you should try to work out what the real situation here is.

A couple of things to try:

1) reinstall it then try rebooting into "safe mode". That should disable user-installed apps, so if SnapChat still works in that mode then your phone thinks it's a system app (though if SnapChat is invisible I'm not sure that definitely proves that it's not installed to system: after all, we know it is giving you the option to uninstall, so the phone clearly doesn't regard it as a system app in other respects).

2) try uninstalling it and then reboot the phone. If it appears to have reinstalled that will almost certainly mean that it is in the system somehow.

The reason I'm focussing on this is that the apk just lying around by itself won't result in the beta version being installed. It needs to be in a specific place where the installer would find it and (somehow) not find the version that the Play Store downloaded - though if somehow a file were in that location then a reset might be your best bet at clearing it. But I don't think that would explain why an apk install fails, which is why i'm wondering whether the problem is that it's not actually uninstalling at all (I don't suppose you noted what error message the apk install produced when it failed: that might give a clue).

I tried uninstalling and rebooting it, and it did not reinstall. So i reinstalled it, and yet again, it installs to the broken beta build. I tried safemode, and it would not open, it was invisible so it isnt rooted in system. By the way, i'm running android 9.

Issues adding a button

F
I am new at Android Development and I installed Android Studio 4.1.1. I created an app then I put a button on the screen and changed the attributes. Had some issues so I decided to exit Android studio and then start a new App.

In this new app, I added a new button, but it kept the attributes of the previous button. How does this happen? If I accidently changed the default attributes for all future buttons, how can I change it back to default?

Thanks.

anyone knows what theese apps are ?

Hadron
Tiny, blurry, indistinct. The one on the right might be a weather app notification, the one on the left could be almost anything.

Assuming that, as is usually the case with these questions, they come from a screenshot from someone else's phone, the best bet is probably just to ask them if it bothers you that much. If by any chance they are from your own phone, pull down the notifications to find out.

To put it into perspective, there are literally millions of apps in the Play Store, so they won't all have distinctive notifications. This makes it very hard to get a positive ID on anything but the commonest or most distinctive icons (and the latter still need to be common enough that there's a chance that someone has come across them). Edit them into 2 files with one icon each and try a reverse image search is the only other idea I have.
