Help Replaced LCD+frame and now I have no "speaker-phone" function.

So, I replaced the LCD+frame and that works fine. I wish I knew what the frame was before I did it though because I think that may be why this function stopped working. Maybe the speaker got damaged transferring it over? I was very careful though. The handset works and I can hear, but it's not the best quality and when I turn on speaker-phone I can't hear anything. I can only hear if I have speaker-phone turned off.

What would cause this? Where can I buy just a new speaker? Or whatever component you folks think is the problem? I know it's a cheap phone and I could just buy a new one, but I like learning how to do this kind of thing. It's fun.

Thank you!

Reset Phone For Donation- But Screen Not Working

Thanks Hadron for the tip. I apologize for my absence in replying promptly. Life's challenges got in the way- again.

Unfortunately, for Find My Phone to work on my phone, I have to get in & turn WiFi on (no data plan). I did ask the charity what they do when a phone is locked with a password. The person said that they have software to nuke some phones and they can't see inside before nuking.

She said many phones can't be wiped when locked, so they would call me & I can go there to unlock and wipe it. That sounds like a good plan to me, as I have no concerns that the people are not honest.

I empathetically chuckled when I read what you wrote, dontpanicbot: That phone had gone through more cities and towns than I have all year.
I surely agree with your statement: COVID-19 SUCKS! You hit the nail on the head!

Thanks Again All for helping me figure this out. I learned a lot.
Please Enjoy Today!

App Inventor Unknown characters "��" received via Bluetooth Low Energy in Android Studio

Good morning all,
I am working on a project to transmit data from a microchip card with Bluetooth Low Energy module (BM64 Microchip) to a mobile application developed in Android Studio.

While reading data on my phone, I notice receiving unknown characters from time to time. The characters received are sometimes good sometimes bad.

Here is an example of the data received, I send 15 and I receive: �5 or 1� and sometimes I receive 15.

Apps Creation of Android Plugin for Unity

hello guys! this is Krishna. basically a unity dev. I was in the process of making an android plugin to for unity to enable GPS in an android phone. I'm completely new to Java and Android studio. I was able to find a code and was trying to convert it to a library and I started to face issues.

Need help in resolving the errors pls the code given I have for the library is as in the link below: https://pastebin.com/vxVygCSk

Line #35

Task<LocationSettingsResponse> result = LocationServices.getSettingsClient(getApplicationContext())

In the above code, I understood that getApplicationContext() shouldn't be used in an android Library. but not sure how do I do a workaround.

Also, Line # 48
resolvableApiException.startResolutionForResult(MainActivity.this, REQUEST_CHECK_SETTING);

MainActivity is not something that is to be used for a plugin. How do I redo this step?? any support will be of great use to me pls!!

Which is unique to the phone, the serial number or the IMEI number?

The serial number is unique.. IMEI can be changed even by a basic college student... There was a time i used to change my phone IMEI so i can enjoy free data that are specific to other phones with a unique IMEI..

So it's possible they might have changed the IMEI

I just bought new open box from Ebay and also the same issue.. same IMEI but different Serial#. Sorry I'm not clear about this explanation, should I be worry since they might be able to use my data plan after I install my simcard inside?

Help Internet using USB Tethering from Mobile to Mobile

Phone 2 or any phone cannot take data / internet through the USB port.

The Redmi 6 and many phones have a USB on the Go facility to read or move files on a connected usb drive, or use an older MHL adapter to connect to a TV. Otherwise apart from exchanging files / photos with a pc, the usb port is for charging the battery.

The SoC / chipset on the motherboard has radio bands and antennae set to receive mobile data; or wifi through a receiver. (someone with better knowledge can explain the hardware!)

A PC is different.

* OK - and tethering it's data out o_O
