The only way I have found is to use a firewall to completely block internet access to the Play Store.

That's the very first stripe you are take..you are on the right track..

Then you uninstall the instant app..then you delete the updates for Google play services and play store(don't delete cashe nor data for those apps, though)..

Then you install the magical older version..

You are all set..never again

What ever you do in your appguard..don't prevent the Google play services from getting internet..just the Google play store.

OK, I know nothing about Nigerian service providers, but their systems will record all calls made and so they should be able to explain why the credit has been deducted. In other words, they can tell you what calls they think were being charged, when they were made and who to, and I would tell them that if they can't explain why the credit was removed then it is presumably an error in their system and they should refund it. Don't just accept them saying "we're charging you, we don't know why but we're going to keep your money".

If they insist on being jerks and thieves, presumably there are other operators you can change to.

Great video!

I am waiting to see new subscription pricing model before I move forward with any more Nest products. They really fall behind competition right now. That said, I have Nest Thermostat, deadbolt (yale), and Nest Hub (no nest aware)

Do they have payment plans @mikedt? A truly unlocked phone without a carrier backing it requires all the money upfront in the US. I'm talking buying the phone from the OEM or an authorized retailer.

I know in China that Samsung, Huawei, Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, Apple, etc does offer 12 months interest free credit on phones that they sell. And that is authorised retailers.

Hi, and welcome to Android Forums

I've moved your development-related query to our dedicated Android Development subforum so that a developer might be able to help out.

I lost my original charger for Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017), can someone tell me what is the amperage of the original charger that comes with it?

That's how it's supposed to work isn't it?

yes, I wasn't sure the OP understood this is how you use it for outgoing calls/texts.

Yes, I'd already said that it doesn't work on my unrooted Pixel, and that there's something wrong if it works on any unrooted

No it doesn't let me copy the .key file to my local pc when I unrooted my device....
Thanks @Hadron & @ocnbrze for answering...

Well I've not put TWRP on my Pixel 2 so can't confirm anything. I'd expect it to be possible but can't test.

If course some of the features of a systemless root are lost if you modify /system.

I know that this is an old post, but I think that I might have the best solution.

There is an app, which is totally free, and ad-free, that is very small but works extremely well...

called Toast Source.

It is so easy to use, it basically does everything for you after you set it up.

Not only will it identify the app producing the toast message, it will put up an icon for you to tap that will take you directly to that app's settings- allowing you to nip it right in the bud.

My phone has recently undergone the latest software update 1-3 weeks ago. I noticed now after update my screenshot images are clear in my gallery, but compressed & terribly blurry when sent in text messages. Keep in mind, it did not have this issue before update. Anyone seen this or have a solution?

had the same issue

jgriffs · Mar 4, 2020

This is not critical but: I am 100% Comcast. I use my laptop 90% of the time (as I am now). When I get a call on my home phone, it rings AND my cell phone says I have a call. While I do appreciate my phones due diligence I do't need the extra notice. It's an issue with sync and I found how to kill it on my laptop. On my phone: Settings; Accounts (Auto-sync...) slide gray'd out but in the OFF position (left).
This is the first I've heard of "sync" and know nothing about it. Your assistance will be much appreciated.

The other day XDA posted this article on Android security patches, it's a good summary of the situation:
https://www.xda-developers.com/how-android-security-patch-updates-work/
Basically, the Android platform is pretty messed up as far as security updates overall. But for your own peace of mind, just apply some common sense whenever you're using your phone phone to do anything involving online interactions and don't focus too much on the security patch issue. Here's some other articles that are contrary to the conventional media hype you might find worth taking into consideration:
https://www.computerworld.com/article/3268904/android-security-facts.html
https://www.computerworld.com/article/3411440/android-security-scares.html
https://www.computerworld.com/article/3012630/android-security-checkup.html

Perfect I already do be careful with that stuff I just wanted to make sure it was ok even if I couldn't get the update right away, thank you very much 😁

puppykickr · Mar 4, 2020

Those things you found called 'emulated' and '0' are the built in memory of your phone.

For now, you are good.

But your music collection will eventually grow, and you will want to move it to your memory card if the phone has provisions for one.

That will be labeled as 'SD card', '1', or maybe even a number dash number code.

Welcome to the site. As previously stated, if you post your question in the appropriate forum, with more info, you are more likely to get responses.

How's the 'Whistle Pro" and how would you rate this product?

That's kind of hard to answer! Since Joy Noelle never goes outside--except to the vet, and we haven't gone there since she's had it--it's hard to say too much about it.

I can say that it's very cool! It alerts me when its battery needs charging, and it periodically sends me 'progress reports' [like one I posted] on her activity accomplishments. :rolleyes:

It's truly remarkable that she can walk FIVE MILES in a week....inside the house...where she spends -most- of her time sleeping--on me.

The maps showing her location are always spot-on.

I'd definitely recommend it to any pet parent, even for cats, like Joy Noelle, who are strictly indoors. From what I've seen, it works as it's supposed to. Its $9.95/month fee is well worth the price, considering you'd be able to track and retrieve a lost pet with its service.

Has anyone found a good car vent mount yet for the Z Flip?

Will it work with a magnet based mount? I read somewhere that there magnets in the there and cautioned proximity to credit cards, etc.

I have a popsocket on my Note 10+ and vent mount for that, but do not plan on popsocketing my Z Flip.

sullencab · Mar 4, 2020

Yes, indeed, it is unbelievably fast even if I've consumed almost half of the storage space. The software updates come often, too. S10+ is the best!

She makes a good point about the usefulness of 8K video as well. Not many devices have 8K screens so it may seem useless to record in 8K, but it grants you the opportunity to zoom into that footage in post production without losing detail.

My favorite quote from the video (4:25):
"In the past couple of days I've taken an uncomfortable number of selfies" lol

I would take hundreds of zoom shots, hahaha

Plus, 8k video down res'd to 4k or 1080 will look better as well, especially if uploading to YouTube or the like.

Is that 6 cameras on the back?

No, one is depth sensor, others sensors as well. Only 3 actual camera.

sullencab · Mar 4, 2020

The same thing is happening to my S10+, even though I have never broken it.. I'm not sure if there's a legal way to revert to Android 9, though :/
