Then why are you posting? If you can't give a referral link, then don't give a referral link.

Thanks @olbriar!

I think smart switch from Samsung does this.

I've been following a tutorial unfortunately this tutorial is 2 years old and (at timestamp 47:57) where the guy said to press Alt+Enter and import the TextView (called "tvTodoTitle" in this instance) just doesn't work on my version of Android Studio (details pasted below). When I Alt+Enter I just don't get the option "import" in the menu that drops down.

I can't not find out how to import the TextView object so that the code can use it. This also applies to the CheckBox object as well.

How do I import the TextView and the CheckBox that I created at the beginning of this tutorial?

Note: This is my first code in Android Studio after doing my Hello World, so I'm still a beginner in this IDE.

There are simply countless apps with associated icons. Unless it's a more popular app we aren't likely to answer your question. If this is on your phone, just pull down the notification shade to find more information about the app. If this is a screen shot from another persons phone, asking them is likely your best route. It certainly doesn't appear to be a dating app if that's your concern.
We are asked almost daily to help identify an icon. Most of those questions are left unanswered. There is always an outside chance that one of our members recognizes the icon but it's rare. Welcome to Android Forums all the same.

This would be a great sport

Check out the deals, rewards and other offers we announced at Google Play Live.

You're spot on about Google services and product dipped into then quickly ended. I saw an article that listed a bunch of them.

I do remember seeing advertising for the Pixel Pass, but I wasn't interested in it. I buy my phones from Google, and use Google Fi, so that's probably why I saw advertising for it.

Welcome to Android Forums @Kaytoon. I moved your thread into the development discussion area thinking it's the best fit
for your questions. Good luck and thanks for joining.

an s-pen holder would be one of my reasons to upgrade. i hope that happens with the next generation.

Yeah, I forgot that feature. 👍

how long has this been happening? have you tried the phone in safe mode? safe mode prevents 3rd party apps from running. so if it stops in safe mode, then we know an app you installed is doing this. you will then need to figure out which one is the culprit. start with the most recent app you installed and work your way backward.

if it continues in safe mode then something is up in your system os and you might want to consider doing a factory reset.

Many wouldn't. On the other hand, we see lots of people here who only change their phones when they are forced to, so increased longevity would clearly be a good thing for them as well as for the environment and reducing the waste of finite resources. And once the hardware longevity is improved the next thing that may force you to change is that apps won't run (because the OS is too old) or you feel insecure because you've not had a security update for years. So improved software support addresses those things.

And phones are mature products. To be honest there is little materially that has changed between my 2013 HTC One and my current Galaxy s21. The camera is better (HTC messed-up the m7 design, and the camera sensors got damaged by heat), though far short of a real camera, the phone is larger (a negative), and it has 5G (though where I live hasn't), but it doesn't do anything fundamental that the 10 year old phone doesn't. So in some senses a lot can change over 8 years, but in reality it's all incremental now and there's no sign of that changing (bar foldables, but they are still expensive and fragile, and for me don't yet address any need). So honestly if they would make it a more sensible size, and if I didn't already have a phone that is less that 2 years old (and hence a bad thing environmentally for me to replace it) I would be happy to give them a shot.

There are two things you may want to try:

First, in Settings, Input and Control, Language and Input. Tap the Gear Icon to the right of the Samsung Keyboard. Try turning off Predictive Text or Auto Replacement. I believe these features include the backspace/delete "feature".

Second, while typing, you'll see the suggested word. As you said a backspace will delete the word. Tap the spacebar first before you back space. That will "accept" the word and the backspace will then work as expected.

Hope this works.

OMG, your answer is 7 years old, but I'm really thankful to you because by switching predictive text off I was able to solve my problem, similiar to the one mentioned above

This will depend on what keyboard you are using: your manufacturer's default (which will depend on which manufacturer) or a replacement you have installed yourself. And then depending on the keyboard app this may or may not be possible. Look in the keyboard's settings to see whether it has any option to export data.

However, most keyboard apps don't have any option to export data, and to manually copy the database will require rooting the phone (which will erase the data in the process). Some might let you link your learned suggestions to an account, so that when you sign into the same account from another phone you could use them (this of course also means that the company would have access to these data). So have a look in the app's settings, have a look in your internal storage for any folder that looks like it comes from the keyboard, and have a look in android/data to see whether you can (a) find a folder for your keyboard there and (b) access anything from it. But no promises that this will be possible.

If you are using your manufacturer's default keyboard you should also bear in mind that if the new phone uses a different keyboard it won't be able to read data from your current one - this stuff will all be app-specific.

Thanks a lot for your answer!

I think I fixed mine, but the solution is so twisted that I suspect it won't work for most people. Its a Samsung phone.

First, Samsung or somebody moved the printer menu. GRRRR. Its now connections->more connection settings->printing. I see someone went to the Microsoft school of user interface design.

I had two printer services, the default and xerox, which is the brand of printer. The dead printers were under the default. I tried to find a "clear printers" menu under the three dots there, but could not. The xerox did have that. The solution was to turn off the default printer service.

I notice it STILL says "printer not available right now", but if you wait, the printer comes up. It now only shows the active printer.

When I did the night tour at Kitt Peak I asked why I couldn't see the same same thing with my 4" telescope. He said i need at least an 8" telesope. Then I bought a Celestron telescope

Thanks again, I'll see what zedge has. I got a bunch from playstore one is really good. Just missing where you can add your own text in it.

Hello @blaster231 and welcome to Android Forums. I moved your post and created a thread for your root questions.

Anyone know what app is the ‘B’ icon notification in android belong to ?

Click to expand...

so we get this kind of question almost everyday. the problem is that there are millions of apps that have notification icons. so unless it is something popular like facebook or youtube, most of these questions go unanswered.

also 99% of the time, the phone in question does not belong to the person asking. otherwise you can just look in the phone's notifications to find out. but since this is probably not your phone, why not just ask the person?

but than again you have that 1% where somebody might recognize it. either way i wish your luck in your inquisition.

Rooting an Android device was at one time relatively easier to accomplish but has increasingly become more cumbersome. Both the manufacturers (hardware) and Google (software) have implemented measures to make rooting a more specific project. Again, if you're trying to force your Android device to be functionally similar to 'hack' as an Intel-based PC, it's now a more of daunting task. Even more so if you're not familiar with Android's code base at a low level nor the ARM-based hardware it runs on top of. Be sure to thoroughly research whichever Android device you buy, something like a permanently locked bootloader can be a significant stumbling block for some models. There is no such thing as some kind universal solution to rooting an Android device, it's very model specific.
I'd still suggest you will find it less of a hassle to just buy a laptop since you want to control networking services at such a fundamental status.

I tried but that only works when wifi can be turned on and mine can't. I'm just going to try reaching out to Samsung on this one.

Thanks for all your help!👍
