Samsung tablet s8 Ultra

I don't know where in Europe your tablet came from, but European frequencies are fairly uniform so I'll assume that a UK model is representative. In which case according to Samsung it should support LTE bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 17, 20, 25, 26, 28 32 and 66, while according to an ATT forum post they use bands 2, 4, 5, 12, 14, 17, 29 and 30, with 12 and 17 being the main bands. In which case you should have LTE compatibility. Samsung also claim that it should support 5G bands n5 and n77, which are used by ATT (plus others that are not).

So if the 3 sources I used here are all accurate (and that's not certain: manufacturers have themselves been known to post inaccurate information by copy-pasting between their regional sites!) you should be able to use 4G or 5G, provided you have coverage with the right bands.

You say that the APN settings change when you insert the SIM: do those settings look correct for ATT?

Play Music

there's 50/50 success in using an old version of Google Play Music to play files offline if you're just that used to its UI, and some have a fraction of success in using older versions to stream, but since it's pretty much EOL by Google, that might not last much longer. If anything, it cemented my view against depeding on any of their apps long-term, yes, including Maps and YouTube, as anything they get their hands on dies eventually, and I am of the type who not only tries to buy for life, but keep apps of certain types for life.

I got one tablet, a Galaxy Note 8.0 LTE from 2013, that surprisingly still connects to the online portion of Play Music, since it's showing Roy D Mercer queued up on it, which is a YouTube Music playlist I created some time back, but it no longer gets updates to the OS and Google Play Services so it can't 'force' me to stop using it. Will it last? Nope...probably not. Which is why I don't use it.

Mystery notifications

The best advice I can give you is leave the case off for a few days and hopefully it will correct itself, but something might be permanently bent.

I have seen the tight case issue come up a few times over the years going all the way back to Palm phones. Sometimes leaving the case off for a while corrects the problem, sometimes it doesn't.

Looks like you were right. Removing the case for a day and putting it back on has eliminated the mystery notifications. So far . . .

New free strategy game - Landrule

Hey Pixamark:

First off, great game!

I have an issue where certain games have been corrupted and cannot be cleared from "My Games." When I try to click on them, it says something like "Cannot find user slot" and there is no option to leave the game.

How can I clear these out? It is preventing me from playing multiple multiplayer games.

Thanks!
Did you ever get am answer? I'm having the same issue.

Total by Verizon BAD?

speedtest.net's credibility was debunked for me the very instant they claimed I had 25mbps down when in reality I barely had enough to stream 360p YouTube and it took over a week to download the day-one patch to Fallout 4. If anything my internet experience and cellular experience only solidifies my love of physical media over streaming, owning my own music and keeping anything digital on my device over some cloud that always disippates anyway, and not depending so heavily on being online. Many of my PCs are air-gapped now, and only two remain in active service at home, one that is air-gapped and this one which only seems to be used for this forum and some Reddit reads.

The last modern bits in my home are a Nest Audio and hub, one Home speaker, a really old Echo Dot, Nintendo Switch (which works offline better than a PS4 or Xbox) and my Z Flip 4. Everything else has gone vintage or stays stuck in 2009-10

No thanks, my own way of determining my internet speed seems to work best over some rando app.

App Inventor Google TV remote volume up/down not registering

Hey all I have been trying to get my remotes volume up/down buttons to register in my app but they never seem to do anything when I press them?

I have tried:

Java:
public class CallBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        int volume = (Integer)intent.getExtras().get("android.media.EXTRA_VOLUME_STREAM_VALUE");
        Log.i("Tag", "Action : "+ intent.getAction() + " / volume : "+volume);
    }
}

and also

Java:
@Override
public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
        if (event.getAction()!=KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN)
            return true;

        switch (keyCode) {
            case 20:
                return false;
            case 22:
                fastForward();
                return false;
            case 21:
                rewind();
                return false;
            case 23:
                if (mTransportControlGlue.isPlaying()) {
                    mTransportControlGlue.pause();
                } else {
                    mTransportControlGlue.play();
                }

                return false;
        
                getActivity().finish();
                return true;
        }

        return false;
    }

But like I said, every time I hit the buttons they never fire any of those above. The only ones that register are the Dpad up/down/left/right, center button and the back button.

I cam change the volume just fine using this code:

Java:
AudioManager mAudioManager = (AudioManager) getContext().getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
int actualVolume = mAudioManager.getStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
mAudioManager.setStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, 1, AudioManager.FLAG_PLAY_SOUND);

But that does me no good if I cant detect the volume up/down being pressed...

The google TV remote looks like this:

Anyone know what I am missing?

Help Forget to press record

.......There is a timer showing after pressing the record button.

Sometimes after pressing the [video] tab, I just forget to press the record button, and the red round button makes me think that recording has started because it is showing red.......



This is just something you are going to have to train yourself to remember. Write down on a piece of paper, "Look for Timer, Press Record" a 100 times.

I don't know how bad or serious your forgetfulness is. If it's real bad, maybe seeing a doctor would help

I hope this helps!

Can I choose which data or apps to restore from the Google Drive backup onto my Samsung Galaxy?

Certainly, during the process of restoring a Google Drive backup onto your Samsung Galaxy device, you usually have the ability to choose the specific data or applications you wish to recover. This feature enables you to personalize the restoration procedure according to your individual preferences and requirements.

Help Using third party apps for email

If you are concerned about privacy there is one difference of significance: does the third party app simply transfer between the mail provider's server and your phone, or is there processing or storage of the mail by the app provider's server? For example if an app talks about "intelligent sorting" of your inbox that may be done by the app, but more likely it's done by the app vendor's server which means that they are analysing your mail in their systems. You may or may not be happy with that, but it requires a higher degree of trust so to my mind is a significant difference.

(The only first party mail app I use is ProtonMail: I use third party apps for all other mail).

App who want access of our contact list and photos are safe to use?

Both contacts and photos access are things that you should have to allow yourself (unless you have a very old phone), so you can just not grant the app access.

I do not find that the majority of apps ask for these, but maybe you just install a different type of app from me. I'd always ask "why does this app want that?", and if I can't see a reason I'm wary: it could be data mining, or it could just be badly coded, but either way I don't want it. ;)

But it's not always obvious why an app might want a permission, e.g. a flashlight wanting Contacts access is a red flag, but a flashlight asking for Camera access is not suspicious because on some phones that's needed to turn the flash on. Many audio apps want phone access not to make calls but so that they can mute when a call comes in. Often apps will tell you why they ask for a permission, but if not it may require a little thought. Personally my default is that if an app asks for things I can see absolutely no legitimate reason for, even if I can deny it that access, I don't install it, but you do need to understand the range of reasons why a permission may be requested.

Delete/Clear Recent Recipients in messaging

Does anyone know how to clear the recent recipients list under contacts in messaging? I don't want a constant history...

Better yet is there a way to disable altogether?
This is for samsung galaxy S2, can't know if it's similar on your device.

How to disable the quick contact list when sharing for example a link, a picture or a file by regular text (also contacts from separate communication apps)
Here is 4 simple steps, which may be worth a try - it worked in my case.

1) Go into settings.
2) Go to advanced settings.
3) Click on dual messenger.
4) Turn on use seperate contact list.

If it works for you, it should now show apps in a list, no names or pictures of any recipients.

Best of luck
