"Message expired or not available"

My account was switched over from Virgin to Boost this summer, as Boost bought out Virgin.

I have not had any problems until today. All of a sudden, I cannot get any pictures that are texted to me, I keep getting "message expired of not available".

As far as I know, the settings are still the same, as I have not changed anything on any of them.

I ran updates on everything, but they all say there are no new updates.

I've run a virus cleaner on my phone, and it shows no viruses.

I do not use wifi on my phone.


I need to get this fixed so I can get pictures texted to me again.

Thanks!

If your carrier has changed, you'll probably need to update your phone APN settings from Virgin to Boost, before you can retrieve any MMS pictures.

Kobo finally

I finally got Nook to work. All I had to do was wait more than 27 minutes on the phone and speak with somebody probably in another country (and follow the provided instructions). What I did was get rid of it and open an apk I already had. I've got my Nook stuff back but how do I convert those kindle things? How do I use Calibre?

HELP Forgot to factory reset before sending in to Asurion

Go to android.com/find log into your Google account. And on the top left select the old phone. Now press on erase and confirm. This will not erase anything on your new device and long as you select the correct one. And it will only work if that device has internet access.

But you mentioned that you had a passcode on the device, so as long as it's a hard one to guess, i wouldn't be worried about someone getting passed it

Individual Contacts are disappearing from my smartphone

Well, i can say I have seen contacts "disappear" as well. I swear I saved them to Google but when I try and find them they don't show up.

I've seen some weird issues for example with my cousin's phone number. Her google name is a nickname not her real name. So for years I couldn't find her number by her real name. I had to change the name in my contact list to her actual name so I could find it.

Also, when I merge duplicates, I get issues after and "lose" phone numbers/contacts. I no longer merge duplicates.

I don't know how long Samsung retains backups. I have Google One and found this information about backups:

How do I connect my android studio app to a remote SQL database (xampp))?

Hello,

I am creating an app that finds a piece of username data after a click of a button.

So far I have:

>>Installed and configured xampp
>>Portforwarded my router
>>set up an online webserver
>>Used PHP to create a database and implement it into the webserver.

Php code index.php
Code:
<?php
echo "<h1>Hello World</h1>";

$servername = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "";
$db = "testDatabase";                
$table = "myGuests";       

$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password);

if ($conn->connect_error) {
  die("Connection failed: <br>" . $conn->connect_error);
}
else {
    echo "Connected to MySQL successfully <br>";
}

$sql = "CREATE DATABASE $db";
if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
  echo "Database created successfully<br>";
} else {
  echo "Error creating database: <br>" . $conn->error;
}


$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $db);
if ($conn->connect_error) {
  die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}

$sql = "CREATE TABLE $table (
                    id INT(6) UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
                    usernameOut VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
                    passwordOut VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
                    reg_date TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
                    )";

if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
  echo "Table MyGuests created successfully<br>";
} else {
  echo "Error creating table: <br>" . $conn->error;
}

$sql = "INSERT INTO $table (usernameOut, passwordOut)
VALUES ('Admin', '1-password')";

if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
  echo "New record created successfully<br>";
} else {
  echo "Error: " . $sql . "<br>" . $conn->error;
}

$sql = "SELECT id, usernameOut, passwordOut FROM MyGuests";
$result = $conn->query($sql); // $result will be an array

if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
  while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
  }
} else {
  echo "0 results";
}

$sql = 'DROP DATABASE testDatabase';
if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
  echo "Database deleted successfully<br>";
} else {
  echo "Error deleting database:<br> " . $conn->error;
}
$conn->close();

echo "The time is " . date("h:i:sa");
?>

I ran my public webpage and I know for sure the php code works and adds the data to the webserver. I am not sure how to make android studio grab the database information from the public website.

Any links or tutorials on how to do this would be appreciated, Thanks!

Need advice about being hacked

Thanks for the advice, I truly appreciate it! I don't mind losing all of my accounts honestly. I've already reset all my stuff and really kind of accepted the fact nothing I do or say is private. They use my phone line for something. It's crazy... I figure my only fix would be to find a hacker, but I just moved out here recently and sketched to give any one else access :/ I think the local police will think im nuts, but I'm thinking I should report it. What scares me is thinking they're going to get into my work computer. This will all come back to me... idk...

I tried with different solutions as mentioned below, but didn't get any success.
1. Invalidating cache and restart
2. Resetting Android Studio settings to default.
3. Uninstalling everything and re-installing.
4. Reverting to the previous version of android studio.

Please help me if anyone knows the solution.
