Problem After Update

hmmmmm weird i just had an update on my note 10+ a few days ago and had 0 issues with it so far. maybe try putting it in safe mode and see if it persists. if it does than something is wrong with your os. you might have to factory reset it to get rid of the issue. it could have been either a bad download of the update or a bad install. if it goes away then a 3rd party app is creating the issue.

Help Phone restarts whenever loud audio is played

I had assumed that using a wrong battery could have messed the phone up due to a voltage issue, as another poster suggested.
Possibly, but I would think that a voltage spike would only affect the audio chip in such a way that changing the volume would make the phone reboot. If it's dirt, it should be possible to clean it. Even a broken solder joint could be resoldered, but it could be other physical damage as well. The only way to know for sure is to peek inside.

Moving in

Somewhere in my rambling search for information I came across two different ways to ask for help with Smart Switch. One of them worked, though I'm not sure exactly where I found it anymore. It may have been that link that ocnbrze provide, above.

Apparently the app page in Google Play checks the type of phone against a list and if your phone isn't on it, it won't let you download the app. They hadn't tested my phone with the app so it wasn't on the list. The person who was helping me added it to the list, the app downloaded and the data transfer was smooth and easy after that.

Some of the apps will need more work to get back to full working order. My email program, K9, for example came across, but none of the accounts are setup. But this transfer has really given me a big leg-up on the switch to the new phone.

If anyone finds themselves in a similar situation, here is the email address of the tech who helped me out:

WhatsApp Pop Up Notification "not available"

Settings > Advanced features > Smart pop-up view > turn on for Whatsapp.

Looks like the feature has moved out of the apps and is baked into Android now.


That's the weird part. That setting is turned on in my pop up settings for Whatsapp but still shows "Popup notifications are no longer available in your version of Android" in my Whatsapp app....strange.

Help Flight mode not working - still getting Messages

Hi, i am not sure if this issue is device specific or software specific. I have a Sony Xperia XZs with Oreo which works nicely for almost everything. I was sad to see the old Sony messaging app go, and be replaced by Google's "messages", which works okay but not as well as the one from Sony.
Anyway, I always set my phone in Flight mode at night, to be undisturbed by calls or notifications, but there is a weird thing: Text messages don't come through, but other media messages such as when someone sends photos, do get through and cause a notification which is very disturbing. I tried turning on both flight mode and "do not disturb" but there is still a silent notification with a flashing light when the media message arrives. This is freaking me out. Does flight mode not work?? I always hav Wifi and 4G data turned off when I don't use them, so that shouldn't be causing any troubles either. I always thought that flight mode was supposed to really turn off all hardware connectivity, but it seems it is only turning off notifications (except media notifications apparently). This is really freakish.
Anyone any ideas?

I orignially posted this question in a device sub-forum but as it will probably go unnoticed there I decided to post under the more general forum. Now I noticed that I posted in the "lounge". Huh? Well, I hope to get help anyway...
