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!

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.

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

Try restarting/rebooting your phone, in case it's just the app misbehaving.

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?

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?

Yes

Howdy!

Sorry it didn't work out for you. Luckily I haven't dropped mine, yet...

I didn't expect to It definitely cheesed me off, I was being really careful, I'd used the P2 the same way with no issues, but apparently it's just not wise for me to take chances like that. I bought a waterproof case for it (that thing is fugly but it'll work for those times I need to be extra careful) - but I'm definitely watching for P4 deals again (they just had it for 100 off at the Google store but I'll wait for a bigger sale or price drop.

It is a really nice phone for the price, though. Other than this user issue on my end it's a great phone & I'm happy with it, so thanks for putting the idea in my head to look closer at it.

settings page???? not sure where that is on your phone. what about in your app drawer?

this is an english only site.

updates are provided by your carrier. if there is no updates for the phone then that is that. not much you can do on your end.

Android has a strange and sometimes problematic set up for volume boosters, equalizers, surround sound, and the like.

Typically, you can use only one at a time, and often the device has one built in already that can be on without you knowing it- therefore disabling the one that you want on.

When this occurs with my devices, I usually have to reboot them, and then the app I want to use will work.

Also, most volume 'boosters' typically don't really make the device any louder than it already can be.

Two that I have found are EQ FX from UpToDown and SpeakerBoost from APK Pure.

If you want ad-free, then use versions 2.0 for EQ FX and 2.03 for SpeakerBoost.

EQ FX has a loudness control that boosts sound and also a virtualizer that helps as well.

SpeakerBoost is an actual booster, but with this comes a warning- if you play sounds too loud using the app you can actually damage the device. This is clearly explained when you first open the app.

Both are fully user controlled as to the amount of each effect.

You could upload the pics to a folder on your Drive account, then just send a link to them in an e-mail.

Be sure to turn 'link sharing' on for the folder or pics on Drive.

Before you switch carriers, see if any of your friends with different carriers can go with you to wherever your phone doesn't work.

See if their phones work.

Then see who has the best signal.

I only say this because there are still some areas that have virtually no cellular coverage, and in that case you need something else.

For a friend of mine, I went to his home with two different phones from two different carriers.

Neither one worked well at his house.

But he does have good Wi-Fi, so I helped him set up a VoIP app on his phone to use his Wi-Fi instead of cellular when he is at home.

Can someone help me?..

Forgot about one game in which you playing as plane in multi lines and you need to:

• survive 30 second - unlock new level
• survive 60 second - unlock endless
• don't hit red wall
• pass blue wall on side showed on line
• hit green wall
• be ready to fight with other planes

Game mechanics is simple - tap to change line.
I already checked my history, but with no success.

yeah not sure what you expect our answer to be. anything physical has to be repaired. look into ifixit.com, if you feel like doing a dyi project.

Considering its OP was in 2011, no kidding!

focusing on syncing data between mail clients isn't a 'thing'. Instead look into each mail client application (PC) or app (mobile device) tying into the email service involved (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo Mail, AOL Mail, etc.).

Click to expand...

Much depends on the individual's needs.

As noted, I did install the app, FairEmail, named in the post that resurrected the thread. I've since paid for its Pro version.

I've looked at various Android mail apps over the years, but they all lacked something I needed/wanted. This one doesn't! It gives me nearly the same functionality I'm used to in my real mail client, SeaMonkey, which I've used on my computers since its days as Netscape Communicator (and it's Thunderbird's predecessor).

I don't use Gmail or its app at all; the only mail that comes to that address is from Google, like Play Store purchase confirmations. I have SeaMonkey set up to handle Gmail, my private Earthlink address (I've had for 25+ years!), and all the mail for my three domains. In SeaMonkey, all those accounts are seen and accessible at once, and that was one main thing I was looking for in an Android app.

I use my main computer as the central location for all my mail, so anything received on my phone stays on its respective server until downloaded on it. I have mail I can still access with SeaMonkey from the '90s!

if you are on t-mobile, why do you need to unlock it? are we talking about unlocking the bootloader? or your service?

Try updating the PRL and profile.

thanks.. but i heard that factory reset can't erase data completey and it can be easily recovered by some data recovery, right ?

see this:
https://www.safewiper.com/tutorials/how-to-delete-text-messages-android-phone.html

I was worried!

Click to expand...

A simple solution is to just try and do a recovery yourself then. If your phone's internal storage is already encrypted do a Factory Reset and see what happens for yourself when you use one of those utilities to restore your data. If it isn't go into the Settings menu and encrypt the storage, and then see what happens when you try to restore your data.
Or if you don't want to see what the actual results will be, again, just take a hammer to your phone for your own peace of mind.

I've cleaned this thread up and removed unnecessary static. Please carry on like the civil and loving Android Forumers we are. Love to all!

Also will this happen several seconds after you've walked into a room? Blue tooth connecting?

I need an app to sync with Outlook Calendar that will automatically set an alarm on my phone to go off when the appointment is due.

I work with automatic scheduling of appointments (Appointments that just get put on my calander) and I have missed so many becuase I'm not getting notified... I do get the typical outlook reminder on my phone and PC but that's often missed because it just pops up and gets hidden or lost in a stack of other reminders.

I'd like an appointment to get scheduled and then an alarm to go off similar to a wake up alarm so it won't stop until i turn it off.

Any ideas? Help!

What network are you on? On most networks the number is associated to the SIM rather than the handset, so getting such calls would indicate that the carrier had reused the number (associated an unused number to a new SIM) rather than telling you anything about the handset.
