can't transfer calendar to new phone

Hadron
Is this app synced to some account (Google, Samsung, Outlook or something else)? If so you just need to set up the same account on the new phone.

If you have been storing local, non-synced events on the old phone you will need some way of backing them up on the old phone and restoring them on the new one. So knowing what app you are using, what sort of events and how you are trying to do this is necessary before anyone can try to answer the question.

Pages manager

MoodyBlues
Welcome to Android Forums, Lisa Naera!
I have pages manager on my phone
Click to expand...
Is that the actual name of the app, Pages Manager? A quick search in the Play Store turns up a facebook app, but it doesn't sound like what you described (sending messages, having photos organized in albums).

Please post a link to the app's Play Store page. There are numerous ways of finding its link, so if you need help just let us know.

Once we know for sure which app you're referring to, we'll be better able to help!

Hi everyone

MoodyBlues
Welcome to Android Forums, Tipi!
Please how can one bypass adbloker, trying to install an unknown app.
Click to expand...
Installing unknown apps is a system-controlled function.

Go into your System Settings, then find the entry for installing unknown apps. On my Moto Z² Force running 8.0.0, its path is:

System Settings | Apps & notifications | Advanced | Special app access | Install unknown apps

From there you'll see a list of apps. Find your ad blocker and give it permission to install unknown apps.

Now--assuming your ad blocker was actually the source of the problem--you should be able to proceed.

I hope you're aware that installing apps of this nature can be dangerous. Be sure you trust its source before installing it!

How do I remove Auto Boost?

Hadron
It's amazing how many junk/adware/spyware vendors hide it in flashlight apps. Especially since these are simple apps, and the only permission they actually need is "camera" (which is needed to turn the flash on on many devices), which makes it simple to spot if they are asking for permissions that are not needed to do their task (which is generally a bad sign) and not install them if they are.

Sync

Not just a screen, but as an external touchpad. And then that there is software that will allow you to both mirror the display and forward the touch commands to the phone.

Note that it may also matter what type of phone you have. Some older phones can output video using a MHL adapter, but that won't allow you to use an external touch device at the same time. More recent ones can use a USB-C to HDMI cable, but I expect that to have the same limitation. So I guess you are looking for a USB-to-USB connection, which will require software support from both devices.

SO accurate. ""NOT"", OK GUYS TELL WHY THIS IS ONLY HAPPENS TO MY PHONE????

Hadron
Actually I use GPS only and never get notifications about needing access. Perhaps because I don't use those apps, but I've never allowed network-based location and this has never been a problem for me.

The only app that currently ever complains is Google Maps, and that's just because wireless location gives more information to Google and so they occasionally nag/lie to you to turn it on. I just dismiss those when they appear, which isn't often (it's not to do with getting a location fix, because I already have one when the message appears, so I conclude that it's just Google trying to get me to unnecessarily change my settings to what serves them better).

with 1 gig of ram?????

.......i hope most folks would move on. now days you need a phone with at least 3 gig of ram, if you want to fully use the phone. now if you just plan to use the phone to only make phone calls and text, i guess you can get by with it.

Phone Security Compromised?

I had a bubble pop up a couple of times that was grey and said "purchase failed :-("
Click to expand...
When it's happened, was there anything else, like something prompting you to do some action, or just the gray box saying 'purchase has failed'? Does the gray box go away on its own?
has anyone seen this before im concern for phone security?
Click to expand...
No, I've never seen it. But I don't think it rises to the level of having been hacked, or anything like that.

Were you using the same app each time it happened? Which app(s)?

Did it start soon after installing something new?

Whatever you do, don't click anything unexpected--like that gray box or anything it spawns!

Just hoping 2 find out

If you had NO security on your phone they could look at it without you knowing (while you're in the john without your phone), and if you were silly enough to have your Google account password stored in an obvious location in plain text format ... then I suppose they could steal your credentials and browse your account at their leisure, but you'd have to almost be serving it to them on a pillow. Tell me you don't do that.

How to turn Android into AirPlay / DLNA Media Receiver

Of course I don't have an iOS device myself, so can't provide any more help.

I suspect the Apple "geniuses" will tell you to buy an Apple TV if want to stream from an iPhone.

Thank you! I will check it right now

YouTube video freezes

Try connecting to a different WiFi network (i.e. at work or a friend's home) and see if that same problem occurs.

But regarding your home WiFi network, are you connecting this phone to a 2.4GHz band network or a 5GHz band one? Have you tried switching from one to the other as test? (... the general rule is 2.4GHz provides more coverage range and can penetrate things like drywall better while 5GHz provides better bandwidth speeds, but there's a lot of overlap between the two in real world usage.)
You might also want to try setting up a guest network, using just its default configuration as a test, and see if that same problem is occurring.

Do you have any kind of anti-virus/anti-malware app installed on this phone? If so try disabling it to see if that results in any improvement. And/or is there a VPN service set up on this phone, or on your router?
Click to expand...

Well my home Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz bandwidth and I have none VPN or antivirus programs. No, guest network didn't fix it, as I already mentioned, everything runs fine on my iPad mini 3 and PC. But I've noticed even more - this little frame freeze appears at the beginning and each time I'm trying to scroll it forward, so conclusion is that it appears only when trying to scroll video forward and on the beginning (which at some point is scrolling itself), so it may be related to my phone more than Internet itself?

WhatsApp Sticker App (based in official model)

megaesh
Hi! I'm trying to make an app with a WhatsApp Sticker Pack, but the Android Studio simply refuses to compile the signed apk to play store upload because of a specific variable, that the studio says that doesn't exist.

If i change the variable name to a variable that i know that exist, or simply change the code to "text" or (String)"Text" the Studio simply change the error!

How can i make to build my apk?
