Sd ok (?) what about rest

Apparently the new photos and videos are being saved to sd but I still cannot move the previous, or screenshots, or anything else except maybe ebooks. I am also unable to download apps, at least working versions, and/or move them. At least some are now showing more than 0 bytes, but it doesn't do much good if I can't install and use them. I recently tried with X-plore, 7.50 mb downloaded November 14, and it says "app not installed". I'm not sure if I can afford to have this checked out at some fancy repair shop, or if that would even help. Why can't there be just some 24/7 number to call real people who actually speak English, are not reading from a script, and actually know a thing or two about these problems?

Help Bubbles have appeared under screen protector

Hello and welcome to Android Forums. More often than not, air bubbles between protector and screen is due to a poor installation. If you are new to a screen protector installation or don't care to attempt installing such yourself, I would suggest taking the phone to your provider and pay them for a new protector and install. They aren't that difficult to install but having your provider perform the service will eliminate the possibility of another botched install.

Alcatel 3v from metro

Hmm. Still seems as though my Alcatel 3v 5032w experience still tops them all.
I personally wouldn't wish this phone on my worst enemy. I purchased one in April. From April to May I managed to go through 3 of these phones. Day one the phone kept shutting off on me in the middle of anything and everything I was doing. Never wanted to keep the network. Settings never would remain as I set them. I holla back at Metro and me being the poor folk that I am, having put everything I had into getting this stupid phone, didn't have the money (and still don't) to replace it with something different. So Metro exchanges the same phone again. Rude metro peeps made me pay for a whole nother sim which I found out latter to be totally unnecessary. Low and behold that one did me the same. I call, I cuss, I complain and this time they order me one from their 'warehouse'. It does just the same for me as well. Now that I've had to endure this phone for about 8 months now, it almost seems as though it's gotten better to deal with over time. Perhaps my tolerance for it's crappyness just leveled out?
Anyways I wish I knew how to root this thing. Or already how to update the apps that are on it. And an i the only one? There's like 277 system apps on this phone that over half of them aren't even useable.

Can I use Tasker to turn on and off 4G?

Hey! Just saw your reply. Didn't realise you had replied.

2 widgets - I could live with.
I wasn't sure if you meant I CAN do in Tasker... or if I can get widgets that do one of the single functions?

Let me know. Thanks.

Tasker will allow turning on or off various airplane mode items in response to an event, such as a shake of the phone, see screencap, perhaps something like that would do the tricksc_11-21-20_45736.png

Help How do I recover folders and files (docs, images) that disappeared from my gallery and sd card

You seem to have multiple things going on.

First, it appeays that you are in the habit of moving your SD card from device to device.
This is a bad habit.
Get a separate card for each device, and leave it there.

Second, strange and sometimes bad things happen during the updating of apps.
Generally, I also update if one is available, but if the update does not affect my device or has no interest to me (always check the changelog) then I usually will not take the update.
There is an old saying- that you don't update software that is working properly.

Most of the problems I have ever had with software came right after...
you guessed it...
an update.

Now, this may not even be your issue at all.

How did you purchase your SD card?
Was it a name brand from a brick and morter store?
Or was is an 'el cheapo deluxe' in a twin pack that was on sale online?

There are many, many fake cards out there, that are sold as having much more memory than they really do.
They will fill up way before expected, and then crash or lose data in other ways.

For files/folders to just up and vanish off of internal memory is quite a different thing.

Unless something is wrong with the device, you did a factory reset, or deleted the files yourself, then it is exceedingly rare to just lose data.

That is why I suggested the other gallery.
Not only because it is a superior app, but because it may see these files that you cannot otherwise find with the apps you are already using.

Another app you could try is by the same developer, Simple File Manager.
Use the three dot menu in the upper right, then select 'settings'.
Then select 'show hidden files'.

Simple File Manager (A simple file manager for browsing and editing files and directories.) - https://f-droid.org/packages/com.simplemobiletools.filemanager.pro

The idea here is that you may have (hopefully) inadvertently hidden these media from the apps that you have been using, and that these apps will still see the files.

The other reason for you to try these apps is so that it is easier for me to help you, as I (and others on this forum) use the same apps myself- and am completely unfamiliar with your apps (or device for that matter).

This would put us on more common ground.

x96q and lg tv remote

heres the problem

android box x96q max
tv lg oled c8
via hdmi 1 cec not selected

the tv remote keeps changing the tv channel on the android box when i hit enter
no devices are linked to tv.

racking my brains, all i can think is the lg is on the same frequency as the android box

anyone any ideas

cheers

Yeh, could be the TV and Android box are using same IR codes. I think, disable the IR on the Android box, like cover its IR receiver with duct tape so it doesn't "see" the TV remote, and use a Bluetooth remote for the Android box instead.
