Excellent response, @svim, very comprehensive and helpful.

Posts have been removed and further bickering / name calling will close this five year old thread. Discuss but do not attack one another.

I do not use much background apps duration of google play.
You can try to close down each background app first, before shooting it up with play.

And you may want to try a Wi-Fi file sharing app, they can be very fast and simple.

Just because I don't remember doesn't mean I didn't. I bought them both when they came out.

Welcome to Android Forums, chairman123!

If the icon is on your device, pull down the notification bar and you should see what it's from.

If not...please read this post about identifying unknown icons.

My edges do nothing.
Howdy!

you ever find the rom or firmware I've been looking cant find shit

Have been using Cricket since 2017. Have 10gig plan and FOXFI for hot spot about 2 months ago data speed reduced to make hot spot virtually unusable. Was downloading audio books in overdrive. Now impossible. Live in rural MN. Use old Kyocera because new Phones wont allow Foxfi. Seems cricket throttling service. Anyone else having this problem?

Thanks for the advice .. I will stick with the purchase, but it’s a pity 100 $ so flew into the air ...
But the question is still relevant ...

Unable to download rom no mirror found please help

This posting on XDA, "Creating your own QMG animations," might help:

Note that it's for a S3 but if you read through the comments others with different models have been successful at this so just be flexible to make it work for your S6.

Thanks bro for reply. Can you give the details about plugin to be used for designing ui screens and any good tutorial link .

I purchased this device (Mi 8 Pro, not 8) last August with 128GB internal storage. This handset is released Dec 2018, so it is rather new. But since Oct 2019 I don't get any updates, the latest being MIUI 11.0.5 (with Android 9).
Did they now already stop updating within a year of release ?

You can't opt out of it? I would have made sense in 2009 when you needed an app to notify you of a missed call, but now, jeesh. If that was in the US they would charge you for the service.

Check the message app's own settings, just in case there is an option to change the font size.

Otherwise just install a different message app. Textra, recommended above, is quick, we'll-featured and far more customisable than the stock app, and definitely does let you change the font size. But there are many others if you prefer something else.

I like skinny phones but resolution matters.

So I just uninstalled that sound profile app. That one had two weird issues.... it always appearing at the bottom of the notifications and... when I'm at work, I listen to music all day using bluetooth headphones. Some reason my phone at random times the volume cranks up to max volume about blowing my ears out. Only thing I can think that is causing the problem is the sound profile and it's the only thing that has changed since the problem started.

Well, I tried the fix that support sent me about how to fix the old sound profile app and it appears it worked. Its controlling the volume correctly now. Well have to see if that issue where it cranks my volume max volume stops using my old sound profile app.

But on my old phone, the old sound profile app was always the first entry in notifications. On this Note 10+, it's not the top entry anymore, the same as the other sound profile app. So, it's just weird. Still would be nice for it to be always the first entry.

Thanks I will try that Xavier.

Maybe an update to your e-mail app/service or the app that links the devices?

Just throwing that against the wall.

Why is the link between your devices so important?
At this point, I would search for a different app, or even turn sync off for one device or the other.

If sharing files is what you need, then there are other apps that use Wi-Fi as a link and probably won't have this issue, so long as the notifications are off.

Another option is to use the Do Not Disturb setting on your phone. With this you can severely limit the apps that can send notifications.

You could use this mode when listening to music.

I have been trying unsuccessfully to recover a set of text messages that were deleted off of my phone in error. I have tried to recover them through the phone itself, but it is not working. Can someone offer some advise on how to deal with the carrier to have the messages recovered? Also I have seen a huge variance in how long the information is stored on the servers. Does anyone have any knowledge of that either? I appreciate anyone's assistance in helping get through all of the issues that I have been having.

sorry but i wish i had better news, but once they are deleted there is not much you can do to recover the text messages. also be very careful with what you find on the internet. there are plenty of sites that claim their software can recover text messages. but a good many of them are scams. this is why if you have important text messages that you back them up. i have a samsung phone and they have a program called smart switch that allows you to backup such items. i do this maybe once or twice a month. not sure what phone you have, but most manufacturers like samsung should have something similar.
