Help Sims cards..

Since you're staying with the same carrier, did they actually instruct you to use the new SIM card instead of the SIM card you already had, or did you just take the initiative to use the new SIM card?
This sounds like you should just take your phone, and your old and new SIM cards, to one of your carrier's service centers and have them straighten things out.

Can I repair my s9 phone?

That message may not indicate the phone was rooted previously. Root can be achieved even if it was rooted previously just be warned that anything you do is completely your responsibility.

You might want to first check if the phone is rooted already with a root checker.

Help I need help picking a 50$ phone

It's good to see you participating, @noidodroid, but before taking the time and effort to post helpful info, you might want to note the OP's date, and/or when the original poster was last here. In this thread's case, the OP hasn't been back since posting--six months ago!

Thanks for your opinion. IMHO all info whether new or old is good. And the more that add's to subject matter the more it helps the next person who comes along to read it (even if the original guy isn't around). 2 cents

USB transfer

Hi, did you have any luck? Since updating to Android 11 I can't see my Pixel 3a XL as a drive in Windows any more.
I've rebooted both devices, tried different cables and uninstalled and reinstalled the driver.
When I plug in I hear the usual sound and device manager shows "Android Device: Google Nexus ADB Interface" so it does detect the phone but it doesn't appear in Explorer as a drive anymore.

I Googled it but everything seems to be about Android 10.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Apps Google ChromeCast Android does not run smoothly when using local http url

My app would like to integrate the Google Chromecast feature and it is similar to Google Photos app. It allows the user to browse files, then cast to chrome cast devices. Following this link: https://github.com/googlecast/CastVideos-android.

I had set up a
local HTTP URL for my casting file like this URL below:
http://192.168.1.45:8989/local/storage/emulated/0/DCIM/AnyRestore/20200908_113828.mp4
The result is video file is successfully cast, but it is usually
interrupted, lag without any reason (although Wifi speed is very stable).

Then I had tried to hardcoding to change the
global URL look similar to this one:
https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/gtv-videos-bucket/CastVideos/mp4/BigBuckBunny.mp4 like the sample app above. Magically
it works and runs smoothly.

So this is my question:
1. Can you help me answer what is the difference between using a local URL and a global URL which affect to ChromeCast process? Our app normally works in offline mode, so I prefer a local URL rather than a global URL.
2. I recognized that the Google Photo app seems to use a local URL (not global URL) because when I forced this app to stop, the casting process is also stopped at the same time. Does anyone help me confirm this and explain how the Google Photo app handle the ChromeCast feature? It is very helpful to me.

Thank you so much for your help.

Getting rid of unwanted apps

I remember Cellular One. I configured and built a big computer system for them once back in the early '90s. Bellevue, WA, if I recall. Hope they didn't mis-bill you!

In the late '90s I had a small retail business. ATT used to cold call everyone all the time (I'm sure you remember). They were pretty hated and reviled for it. But one day I was alone on a super busy day at my store. There was a line at the counter and I was working hard when the phone rang. When they said they were from ATT I politely told them I was busy and didn't have time to talk. I tried to end the call gracefully, but the guy kept blathering and so I said good bye and hung up. Almost immediately the phone rang again. I answered it and it was the same guy. This time I told him to quit calling me and hung up on him. He called back a third time and cussed me up one side and down the other. My customers were most sympathetic and I made sure they knew who the rude caller was from.
When things calmed down I wrote a letter to the president of ATT. I explained what happened and told him that I did not ever want to be called by ATT or any of their contractors again, and i gave my home and business numbers.
You know what's amazing? The calls stopped. All of them. Completely. I had peace for years until both my address and phone numbers changed.
Sometimes you win. ;)
