Time for a better device, imo...

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.

Considering the OP hasn't been back since posting--in May 2019--I wouldn't worry about it!

Greetings,

Can anyone tell me what the dot (extreme left) indicates?

I also think you just need to open the shutter to the end. Did you manage to solve the problem?

Well, I've moved on from that phone to a more modern Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 4 lol


For me, rooting is just a necessity.

Hey if worse comes to worse, install Google photos on your android and let it backup your photos on your phone first.
Then simply open a browser on your Mac and go to photos.google.com
Enter your Gmail credentials and fetch your photos directly from there. No cable needed.

with note 1 and Samsung galaxy s

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:

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.

I am seeing pink/purple spots on the lower right corner of mt screen. They are not on the surface and the screen isn't damaged. Is there a fix for this?

Oops! Wrong thread

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...

i Have found the amazing guide on How To Solve "Mobile Network State: Disconnected"

Which AFT version? It's not updated often, but I had such problems a few years back which were fixed by updating the app.

I was the second best piano accordion player in a class around that age, for about 3 or 4 years. Got my picture in the paper at the annual Cork shindig.
Our glamorous lady teacher figured we were too dumb to learn to read real music so she had an ABC system. I rue never learning, though I could have pursued it later.
I picked up an accordion 20 years on and couldn't string 3 notes.

Took drum lessons in the 80's which I would have loved but didn't have the natural skill or talent.
