Search Android calculator with no decimal places and with rounding

One of my calculators (Neocal) has the option to set the "precision", which is actually the number of decimal places rather than the precision. If you set that to 0 it rounds to the nearest integer.

If you like the "built in" calculators it may be more complicated than you need (though you can ignore most of the features it doesn't have the "really simple" view that they have), but it's the only one I have installed that does this. Unfortunately anything less than a full scientific calculator is useless to me so I don't know about simpler apps (RealCalc is the one I use most, and is the simplest I can live with).

But it may be that if you check through the settings you will find a similar option in another calculator.

Texting a contact list from Android to iPhone

I just had a play and one of sharing options on my phone was to save the vcf file. If you did that you could check that it was correct before sending it.

But to be honest it looked very much like it was offering to send a single vcard file with all of the contacts rather than a set of separate files (which is what I would expect). And if it sent a file like that and the iPhone didn't read it correctly that would suggest a problem with the iPhone app. Maybe try resending using a different app (WhatsApp or similar) rather than SMS/MMS and see if that works better?

Hidden apps

Someone else's
Is that 'someone' your minor child?

Let me spell out the extremely short version:

Q: "Is there a way to check and see if someone has hidden apps and pictures on their phone?"

A: Yes. Numerous ways.

But if the device isn't your minor child's, you're going to need its owner's permission, and cooperation, to proceed.

Please advise.

S9+ Charging Hot

I am having this same problem. When charging the phone up from under half the adaptive fast charger gets so hot it kicks off and back on over and over. The phone hardly even gets warm. This is my 2nd s9 plus. Bought the first one new on eBay and it done this, returned that one because it was a carrier phone (I wanted unlocked) the 2nd one I bought also does the same thing. I don’t know if it could be from using an extension cord? I have only charged it a couple times so I’m not sure yet. I will plug it directly into the wall next charge and see what happens.

How to upgrade to latest version firmware

welcome to AF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if there is no updates for your phone, then there is no updates for your phone. not much you can do really other then root it. however, there really is no info on your phone as to how to root it, so i doubt that it can be. this is a very low end device, and probably not really on any developers radar to support rooting the device.

.......so i think your phone is what it is. maybe it is time to upgrade?????

Oppo A1K BUG: Google Contacts Notes Field Limitation Of 1000 Characters

In Oppo A1k android phone whenever someone tries to add a google contacts notes exceeding 1,000 characters limit, the remaining data in that contacts notes field gets truncated or deleted.

For example, if I create a new contact in my mobile phone and try to add more than 1,000 characters note in the Google Contacts Notes field, it does not let me go beyond that limit.

Please note that this limitation is phone manufacturer specific since I can easily add more characters (beond 1,000) in Google Contacts’ Notes field via Google’s web interface on any computer desktop or laptop/notebook at;

Phone Model: Oppo A1k CPH1923 (Android 9 Pie Kernel4.9.117 and ColorOS 6.0.1)

Sync Issues - Exchange 2010 Contacts & Truncated contact notes

It is December 22, 2019 and I am still finding this issue (of google contact notes field truncating data in a phone set) with another Android phone set i.e. Oppo A1k. There used to be a work-around app;

Contact Editor Free (For lengthy contact notes) by DMFS GMBH
https://apkpure.com/contact-editor-free/org.dmfs.android.contacts

But this is no more available on Google Play store. Do you guys have found any other solution to this? There seems an issue with the technological interaction (communication) between Google Contacts team and the mobile phone manufacturers.

Apps Permanently remove discoverability check while turning ON/OFF BlueTooth on Android

Hi everyone!

I'm developing an Android app that is thinked to run for long periods of time. At certain moments I need to communicate with some Blutooth devices (both 3.0 and BLE) so the idea is to switch ON the BlueTooth when I need and then turning it OFF for the rest of time.

My problem come when I turn the BT ON and an alert always pops us saying about the discoverability of my device, and I wish to remove this alert.

Searching around for a solution, I tried using intents :

Intent discoverableIntent = new Intent(BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_REQUEST_DISCOVERABLE);
discoverableIntent.putExtra(BluetoothAdapter.EXTRA_DISCOVERABLE_DURATION, 0);
startActivityForResult(discoverableIntent, GlobalConfiguration.REQUEST_DISCOVERABLE);


and also reflection:

BluetoothAdapter bluetoothAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
Method method;
try {

method = bluetoothAdapter.getClass().getMethod("setScanMode", int.class, int.class);
method.invoke(bluetoothAdapter, BluetoothAdapter.SCAN_MODE_CONNECTABLE_DISCOVERABLE, 0);
}
catch(Exception e) {

e.printStackTrace();
}


both unsuccessfully, standing that after BT state switch from ON -> OFF -> ON, the dialog about the discoverability comes up again.

There's a way to remove this alert forever, also after an ON/OFF of the BlueTooth?!

Thanks in advance

I want to return phone and stop service

We understand that you're upset, Stacey cogswell, but SHOUTING at us won't help anything. :)

Personally, I would not tolerate the way you're being treated by Metro. Each time I buy a new phone (which I do directly from the manufacturer, Motorola), I carefully read its warranty.

I bought a new Moto Z² Force Edition last year around this time. Six months later, it had a problem (screen burn-in), and Motorola promptly shipped me a new replacement--per the warranty I agreed to.

If your warranty provides for a new replacement, don't accept anything less. If I had just bought a new phone and it stopped working almost immediately, I'd INSIST on a new, not refurbished, replacement.

You may need to contact customer service and escalate this, i.e., demand to speak to a supervisor who has the authority to send a new replacement. But keep your cool! Letting them know you're pissed off is one thing, acting out is quite another.

how to reset encrypted messages and block numbers

my sister has this blue life pure xl phone and she let her kids text with it and they somehow encrypted some messages. she is not a phone wis but i told her i would try to help. she is running out of space so her phone tells her and so we looked and a bunch of messages are locked and require a password. i looked in all the setting i could and i did not see any place to unlock these, so maybe there is some kind of default password or will she have to do a complete factory reset? one of the youger guys claims there is nothing she can do, but i think as a last resort she can factory reset it and all these will be gone. or does google reset them after a factory reset?

oh also she said she is getting tons of robo calls and i tried to set up blocking the numbers, but i did not see that either. so is that possible to do on that model phone. i have an lg phone and i can do that on mine, but i could not find that option on her phone. thanks
