Yeh, it wasn't intended to be funny.

I usually spend a lot of time in China, and the now that everyone there is legally required to wear masks covering mouth and nose, the facial recognition technology, used by phones for unlocking, and by police/public security for law enforcement etc, is having problems with it.

As for the problem with your Samsung S9, have you tried rebooting or resetting it?

It's a Note 9, and after rebooting yesterday it's working.

yeah... I did the reserve pre-order thing for the S20 ultra t-mobile 512gb 16gb cosmic grey, and did the trade in for my Pixel 4 xl 600.00 trade in credit, and when I do the preorder I get 200.00 credit then another 35.00 for doing the reserve pre-order thing from what it said, so FEB 21st 7 days away, so I`ll probably use the 235.00 for galaxy watch active 2!!

Damn! Sweet deal! If I didn't owe so much on wifes 4xl I would probably do that for her as well.

Thanks for the info

I used to live in Spain but now live in UK. My contacts list is constantly having spanish contacts added. When I try to delete I get a message saying contact has multiple addresses and can only be hidden. How can I block this from happening please

Thanks for letting me know that it works on on Android 10.
Android 7.1 still crashing will be investigated now.
The app will be updated regularly until it works seamlessly on all Android versions.
Your feedback is much appreciated.

Hey all.
I need to figure out how to stop messaging apps etc from updating old messages and showing that I have X-number of unread messages on my Zenpad?

Specifically.... Let's say I don't use my pad for 2 or 3 days. But today I turn it on. As it starts all my messaging apps such as: email, Facebook, text messages, etc etc show that there are unread messages.

So for example the icon will show that I have, let's say, 20 text messages. In fact I don't, but it's counting the 20 that were sent and opened/read on my cell phone since the last time I started my Zenpad up.. When I open the app they of course are not showing if I deleted a message or they don't show as unread. Which is good that it's not showing messages as unread once in the app but why is it seeing messages that are read our deleted as the app starts?

This doesn't happen in reverse. For example of I open a message on my Zenpad but then start my phone the apps on my phone so not reflect the opened messages that I looked at on the pad.

So I guess my question is how do I stop the apps from showing that I have unread messages?

Hopefully that wasn't confusing.

nope.....sorry. if your phone is rooted and you have a custom recovery, then yes there are possibilities.

Welcome to the site.

Oh ok, just read about pinning. But from what I'm seeing, I'm pretty sure that's not the way to go (based on examples of other apps on the store). I'm quite confident that the solution is somewhere between a foregroundProcess and a partial wakelock (I've spent hours going through the android developer docs) however... I can't get it to work no matter what I try .

Have you tried using the screen saver to keep the screen from sleeping?
I know ths will eat battery life, but you can use a screen dimming app to negate quite a lot of that.

Ths is how I keep my sharing app active when transferring large files.

By default when you press and hold the side button on your Samsung Galaxy Z Flip it will launch Bixby. You'll probably want to change the Bixby button to launch something else or disable Bixby completely. Don't worry- you can:

• Settings > Advanced Features > Side Key
• Find the "Press and Hold" area
• Select "Power Off Menu" instead of "Wake Bixby (default)"

When you press and hold the side button you'll now be given power off and restart options for your Galaxy Z Flip. You cannot force the phone to launch an app by pressing and holding, but if you quickly press the side button twice you can have the Galaxy Z Flip open any app you'd like.

How to turn on the Galaxy Z Flip:

• Make sure phone is charged
• Press and hold the side button (as shown below)

How to turn off the Galaxy Z Flip (easiest way):

• Press and hold the Side and Volume Down keys at the same time

How to turn off the the Galaxy Z Flip (alternative way):

• Open the Notification panel
• Tap Power > Power off
• Confirm when prompted.

To restart the Galaxy Z Flip:

• Open the Notification panel
• Tap Power > Restart
• Confirm when prompted

You can learn more at:
Settings > Advanced features > Side key > How to power off your phone

If your Galaxy Z Flip did not come pre-installed with a SIM card than you may need to install one yourself (likely from your previous phone). The Galaxy Z Flip uses a nano-SIM card.

To install, unfold the phone's screen and access the SIM tray on the top left with the gold contacts facing down as shown in the image below. Make sure the device is fully charged.


For more, check out the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip Manual.

The answer is 100% absolutely no: the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip is not waterproof, water resistant, or dust resistant. Samsung instructs users: "Do not allow any liquids or particles to enter the device" on page 4 of the Galaxy Flip Manual's Getting Started Guide.

I don't know of any app that would do this at the time the photos are taken.
I do know of a few that can do similar after the fact, like a post production edit, but the result in the end would actually be a video with your photos as a visual and your narration as the audio.

My current favorite is YouCut, by InShot.
It is free, easy to use, and does not put a watermark on your finished product.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip User Manual is now available to download. Find the download link below and enjoy your new Galaxy Flip!

To get your PUK, you need to contact your carrier for it.

You can answer old posts, AF should have no problem with that as long as it's still relevant AFAiK. However in this thread, Microsoft Windows Server 2012, is any company in 2020 still using that?

I moved this to the Suggestion Box so @Rob can see this feedback. It's all being done to try and make the forum better.

Perhaps it should be added to the existing thread about forum updates/changes/glitches.

I need a code for choose file option in webview and access some other app in same app and other website in same app.

I carry the little one now and then but the larger one belonged to my grandfather and it's just biding time before it's my son's. You are quite right about garments no longer designed for pocket watch carry. It's like tie tacks and cuff links.. I have a box full of them that's not been opened in the past forty years.

Our volunteer fire department had them, went off every night and if we weren't home for dinner with 5 minutes there was hell to pay!

Ours used to ring at noon and five, for lunch and dinner.

Thank you for your reply , the reason I have asked such a lengthy and detailed question is that on searches it is clear there is technology available to the police to extract data from locked phones ,unlock phones and ' vampire dry ' a device ..... that in mind that technology is available to anyone and it appears to be easy to access so I needed to make sure I have tried to remove the data.
I never knew it was this easy to break into a phone and access data even if it Switched off or locked ...scary stuff

Hi there guys.

I could really do with some help here.

Situation:
The sister, of a very good friend of mine is experiencing abusive phone calls from her ex.
He is extremely degrading & aggressive, he plays mind games & gasllights her
(he also does this when on the call with his children).

We need to keep a record of these calls/conversations, as if anyone pulls him up about
his behavior he is incredibly convincing, and portrays himself as the pinnacle of a
reasonable and well intentioned man.


Questions:

1. Which apps are the best for recording phone calls in the UK

2. That allow recording of both parties of the call

3. That (do not) beep or alert the other person that the call is being recorded.

(We're happy to sideload apps if needs be).


Handset type:
I believe that the sister is using a Samsung J7, on Android 9
(However I am waiting for this to be confirmed)

TIA for any help and advice, I apologise (for, perhaps TMI) but I think its helpful
to understand the background of the situation, to help us out.

Thank you very much.
