To be honest, if your phone is entering random characters by itself and, if after shutting down you can reboot into recovery briefly but then it begins misbehaving again, it sounds like a heat related hardware failure. Perhaps the battery is swelling and putting pressure on the back of the screen? It's a guess but it would explain what's happening. It really doesn't sound like anything software would fix.

Reading those articles I have to say that anyone should be suspicious if a banking app asked them to re-enter personal information. But I guess many people would not be.

My last phone was an honor 8, which had average specs, 4 / 64g, microSD slot, kirin 950, but all in all it was a great phone, it never struggled and had a really nice camera. The Honor series are really nice "budget" phones.

Honor been Huawei. They don't have Google Play Store now do they?

How many times over the years have I tried to access the files on my MotoG5Plus with my windoze computer, but failed. I only got as far as the phone appearing in Explorer, but the files were never displayed; zero.

Thanks KBlanco for your instruction. I needed to go into Notifications on the phone. Who you gonna call. Thanks again.

I have a lot of old google accounts that I created before creating accounts required giving birth certificate, bank account numbers, etc. Some confusion with Google deciding which account it will open with which application, so I always tended to avoid Drive. Only recently started experimenting with it. I also need to google "archiving" to see what the phone is offering, but I haven't archived anything yet.

But I just noticed the phone is down to 5 GB free out of 26 GB total. So I better offload some folders before there's too much trouble. I'm on a WhatsApp group that includes a couple of new parents that create GB's of photos and movies of their baby every week. Just emptying the WhatsApp folder from the phone should free up most of the space.

Probably not urgent any more, since it's just a few days short of 9 years since the last post. But also 3g watchdog stopped working on my phone some time ago (either with the Android 10 update or one of the later monthlies, but probably A10), and hadn't been updated for years, so the problem is probably solving itself by now anyway...

As I've said already, no, you cannot do that.

I sent an email to Whatsapp support to confirm,and it was confirmed that the feature isn't supported
I attach the text of my email

Good morning,
Is it possible to know when a member of a group enters within a group (or,in other words,every time a member opens the chat of the group ?)to know,for example,hour or day of the visit ?

What is the difference between removing passwords and freeing up space? How else do you think you can make space there?

In retrospect, you're absolutely right. My error. I won't euse my age as an excuse. Mea culpa.

Or perhaps it depends on some service that no longer exists and so crashes when you try to set it up?

It's very difficult to work out causes remotely, especially if all you really know is that it doesn't work.

If this is a HTC widget it won't work on a third-party launcher anyway. But you might have to try a third-party widget in place of it, because I doubt there's much more can be done here: you've already done a factory reset, so all that would be left would be reflashing the phone (which will only help if the problem is that somehow the system software has become corrupted - if it's something else then reflashing is unlikely to change anything).

Then try this app.

Yes, it is set up as a messaging app- but on e-mail.

You can use it as an e-mail app.

A bonus is the dark theme available for use.

Keep in mind that there is probably a setting somewhere in your e-mail account to allow access to your account by third party apps.
(So that apps not from the e-mail provider can access your account.)

This alone could be your issue, or one of them.

The other option is to just use the browser on your device.

AT&T will be of no/little help, because they are the phone company, not the developer of whatever app you are using or whoever is running your e-mail system.

To actually contact the right folks, you need to get into your account and the settings, then look for 'About'.

Here is where you usually find contact information.

Often it will just be an e-mail address.

You can contact Huawei and see if the PIN is an FRP requirement; or if there is a way around it. I owned a Huatch 2 and never had a PIN... then again, it was a Wi-Fi watch and not 4G. That may be part of a SIM lock - for a SIM that isn't there anymore. They may be able to clear it.

As far as the charge goes, yep: about a day's use is all you can expect, even from a new one. That's why I left it on the charger overnight while I slept, and used it all day.

I'm reluctant to do a factory reset (due to the time to get it all setup again).

After buying a new phone (just in case it all went wrong), I did a factory reset and it all seems fine again.

it is the second icon at the very top of the camera next to the filter icon (the wand looking icon)


just click on something you want to photograph and it will record a video just a few seconds before and after you snap to take the photo.

I like eating Chinese food every day.

.....you kind of have to, don't you? i mean you live there.....LOL it would suck if you hated chinese food living in china. do they have mexican restaurants over there? i would die if i can't get some tacos or burritos......and i'm japanese....LOL

first off, trying to identify an app notification icon is very hard. there are millions upon millions of apps that have their own icons.......that's a lot of apps!!!!!! so unless it is a popular app, trying to find an app based off an icon is very hard to do unless you have access to the phone. but, in most cases the phone is not accessible.

secondly it would help if you had a screenshot of the icon. but really a heart icon could be anything. it could be something like a health app or something like iheart radio.

thirdly, it is better if you just ask your girlfriend. there should be no need to go behind the person's back.......but i'm not one to really give relationship advice.

and lastly we get this question asked almost on a daily basis. and a good majority of them do not get a full answer. most of us will give a good guess, but like i said earlier, we can't give a guess unless we see what you are talking about.....so a screenshot would help.

anyways, good luck.
