Hey, the phone I've been using have started to get a black screen and get glitches across the screen. Right now it's in a whole black mode where I can't see anything, it doesn't react if I hold any of the buttons and all I see is some glitches. And if it does turn on it will only be on for a few seconds then it will become black again. I wonder if it will help if I reset it or is it a matter of the hardware?
Over-time the charge socket have been getting damp a lot and if this may have been the effects and it's actually the hardware, may be possible? Thanks if answer.

so lets first rule out a nefarious app that might have been installed. i would put the phone in safe mode. it is usually a combo of power and volume (it will vary according to models and manufacturers). this prevents any 3rd party apps from running. if it is still happening then i would do a factory reset.

if that does not work then, then it is a hardware issue.

Help SD Card Apps Greyed Out, Can't Open

svim said:
Try using the Play Store app to reinstall those now greyed-out apps. There's a good chance that the saved data for each of those apps still reside in their respective folders in the internal storage. (When you're 'moving' apps to an microSD card, it's still matter where not everything relative to the app gets moved over. It's actually a situation where parts of the app have to remain in the internal storage while other parts reside on the card.)
This same situation occurs if you've forgotten that you've moved some apps to your card and later remove the card. The apps in question need to be reinstalled to function again because parts of them are no longer accessible.
As to why you're having this problem after rebooting, how did you 'move' those apps? Using the Settings menu in your phone or using a third-party app you installed?

Wifi Calling - Android Phone

I have problems sending & receiving calls on my cell phone from inside my home (Aluminum siding exterior). Things are fine outside and in other buildings. My carrier says that nothing can be done from their end.

Someone suggested that using ‘wifi calling’ (with my present phone #) on my home’s wireless network while indoors as a possible solution. Can this be used for this purpose? If so, how? I do not see the settings on my phone to enable it.

How can I create an App like Appblock or Forest?

L
I'm currently using Android Studio to create an App.
I want one of the features to block apps, after you activate this by clicking on a button.

So that the app moves in the background, after clicking the button and when you open for example Youtube, it pops up and says something like: "Deactivate this program first".

The basic idea is of course a Clicklistener on this button to start the program
But know I want to know, which commmand you have to use so that the app is permanently supervising, which app you are opening/ have openend, even though the app moved to the background.
Some kind of Clicklistener for this (in the example:Youtube) exact app.

I'm fairly new to App programming :)
Thanks in advance.

Second Impressions

I really don't like the power button below the volume rocker but I will adjust. Not much choice there. And I agree about the spen gestures. I played with them for a bit but found I didn't have much use for them and they could be more frustrating than useful other than the flick up and down to open and close the spen air options. That I do like. All in all though, I like the phone at least as much as I did my Note 8 which I loved.

Files From SD Card Not Seen By Phone's OS

PGB1213
Thanks Mike!

I wanted to find out if the SD just came Un-seated, so I took the SD out of the turned off phone and re-inserted it, restarting the phone.
The phone could not see the SD. I repeated a few times. Still no luck.

To find out if the SD card was bad, or if the phone's reading slot was bad:
I took the SD out of my GPS (the only other micro SD that I had), formatted it & put it in the phone blank. It was seen by the phone.
The phone added many folders to it by itself. (Setting it up, I guess.)
This told me the Slot was OK.

For fun, I took the Phone SD & put it in the GPS. The GPS saw the music on the SD. (That's all it should see as far as I know.)
This told me the SD was OK.

This made me believe that the slot in the phone and the SD card were both OK and something corrupted the SD.

I copied the contents of the Phone SD to the computer. (I do have a recent backup, but wanted today's version.)
I formatted the Phone SD in the computer & put it in the phone. The phone saw it and put some folders on it.

I copied from the backup to the Phone SD any folders that actually had files in them, such as Music, Documents, etc.
Some only had empty folders marked Cache or other. I skipped them.

Next, I put the SD back into the phone and the phone saw it & could read from it.

All of the apps that I had on SD were gone, even if I put their empty Cache folders from the backup onto the SD.
There must be important files in a folder that the phone over-wrote when I put the blank SD back into the phone.
I'll re-dwonload them.

I still do not know why the phone did not read the SD, but now can (after a re-format in the computer).

Do you think it is wise to assume the SD is on its last legs and I should buy a new one?
Or, is there another possibility for why the phone stopped reading the SD, but now can?

Thank You Again!
