Discover app doesn't open when notifications are pressed

MoodyBlues
Really, none of that applies here, Eye In The Sky, but I appreciate your input. :)

The app in question is the official app for the Discover Card, installed directly from Play. I think its odds of containing malware/trojans/etc. are slim to none. :D

At any rate, since posting this thread in June, the problem has disappeared. It most likely was due to a buggy update, then corrected with a later one.

tablet gone haywire.

svim
Understand your frustration but keep in mind the RCA 7 Voyager II is a low-spec, low cost device commonly sold in places like Walmart. By design its long-term stability is a challenge so it's not surprising that while looking online most references for maintenance tasks aren't very definitive to the problems you've described. This online manual wasn't very helpful:
https://www.manualslib.com/manual/988638/Rca-Rct6773w22-B-7-Voyager-Ii.html?page=27#manual
or you this guide on doing a Factory Reset might apply:
https://www.unlockandreset.com/rca-tablets-all-models-hard-reset-instructions/
(follow the instructions carefully, back up any data you want to keep).
But again, this is a low-end tablet so set your expectations accordingly. Try to keep it maintained and use it for what it is as long as you can, but if you're really dependent on a good tablet I would give some serious thought into upgrading to something new or at least more appropriate.

Can one replace Odin root with Magisk root?

svim
You might find more relevant info online looking to replace SuperSU with Magisk, as opposed to replacing Odin. The Odin utility is what you should be using to flash your device, but its SuperSU that's running on your device as the root management service.

Clear recent apps

Maybe you're not scrolling far enough? It's always the last entry and I've never not seen it.

Why do you want to clear the apps list?

Sometimes it's placebo and sometimes it's frustration. I've done it, but not to increase performance, which it wouldn't do anyway. It goes something like this ... Sunday afternoon I'm working in the yard or out with the wife and I want to check the football scores. Rather than drill down through the drawer for the NFL app, I'll just sweep up to get to recents. It should be pretty close to the front of the list on Sunday's, but no ... I've already looked up weed killer, got three emails, a text from my sister-in-law who reset here router AGAIN ... an amazon notification, the weather app ... you get the picture. I don't know if this is just me not used to the Pixel 4 yet, but I almost always tap on the wrong app, either because the recents scroll too fast or my eye-hand coordination just isn't what it used to be. After the second or third time, I say f%$ it and scroll all the way to the end with one big satisfying swipe and "clear all". I still have to go into the app drawer, but, at least for the next few minutes, the app that I'll most likely want is top of the list.

Old Tabs Showing

V
Hi there! I have a question... I've been seeing this guy for awhile, and this popped up in a youtube video he made. I screenshot it and sent it to him asking him to explain and his excuse was "those are old", saying he never closes his tabs. The first two tabs are obvious dating sites. I have a very hard time believing that. Wouldn't those tabs be listed in sequential order? The page right above the dating sites was the page he last referenced. Also, anytime your phone restarted, wouldn't you lose those tabs? I need an honest opinion.

Android (pumpkin) Head unit.

D
Hi

Not sure if this is the right place to post.

Im a bit tech savy but not great and sorry if this has already been asked. I have a Pumpkin (see below) I have the aux lead that goes in the back, I understand Ipods have an issue connecting to Android 8.0 or newer, I just wondered if anyone has come up with an app that works with it or anyway it can work? Or if Ipod doesent work anymore is there a way of connecting an old Android phone through Aux so I can just keep all my music inside it in the glovebox. I know you can connect via bluetooth and I also know I can run spotify through the unit, just would really like all my music just sat in the car without having to rely on data or the internet for music to run.

Also is it easy to upgrade to Android 9.0?

Pumpkin Android 8.0 Car Stereo Head Unit for Ford Focus Mondeo Galaxy S-max 4GB RAM with Sat Nav Bluetooth Support CD DVD DAB+ GPS WIFI AUX Android Auto 128GB USB SD Fast-boot (Sorry I cant post links yet)

Thanks in advance

Music all the sudden started playing in background?

J
I had my phone on my desk and was voice chatting with a friend on an app called discord. All the sudden I heard music in the background, I thought it was my friend that had music on but decided to check for myself anyway. I was shocked to see the music playing in the background from the "play music" app. Did someone hack into my phone? I'm scared now. I downloaded antivirus and ran a full scan, it didn't find anything but I'm still worried. How could it have launched without me touching a thing. By the way it was an mp3 file that was being played. I've never had this happen before. If anyone has some info I'd really appreciated it thank you.

Android user going to use Iphone for first time, what problems will I encounter?

S
MoodyBlues said:
Is that why you're going to iOS? I mean, as opposed to having something against Android? Are you actually switching to Apple, or will you use it and Android both?

Personally, I could not, would not, accept the locked-down, non-customizable, highly-curated world of iOS. Just the thought of having a screen-full of icons--that I didn't put there and don't want--makes my heart start racing, like a panic attack! :eek: I need my desktops clean, not all cluttered up with stuff I can't remove.

I'm interested to know why you're doing this, but as it's none of my business, you're certainly not obligated to explain. :)

I did not buy the iphone, had the chance to use it so I just wanted to try it then decide.

For now I am ok with android. I have nothing against android, been using android my whole life, never had an iphone before. The only good thing i heard about iphone is it can backup everything in the whole phone easily, and it seldom have malware. (from what I read on web and videos) I think android is equal or better . I heard people are too used to apple ecosystem and find it troublesome to get out, maybe using too many apple app or software.
