Here at android forums theurs no such thing as a dumb question...asking questions no matter how dumb they maybe help grow android forums into the new era and become bstter then xda...thats my opinion of course

so i searched and the links from the htc website do not work. and same with xda. i see ruu's for the 626s that are for marshmallow but not for the droid 626....you might be sol on using ruu's to update the phone.

have you tried a factory reset and then update?

its a temp file. if you delete, android will just create a new one. these types of files are small so you do not have to worry about space.

i would not worry about temp files.......move along nothing to see here.

I am not sure about the case description. Would you like to post some screenshots or more detailed information?

Well the one which corrupted my photos was from amazon so I after I read a few things on google i realised it was probably a fake.... so i got the samsung one from argos.... but i just want to know if I can get my photos back now there on a new legit Sd card

No chance I think. Counterfeit micro-SDs actually have a fake chip in them, that lies to the OS what its capacity is supposed to be. Like the capacity is supposed to be say 256GB, but its actual capacity might only be 8GB, or even nothing. So any files are just overwritten or are just not stored at all, and all you can see is a directory list of filenames.

I presume you no longer have the original files, and you deleted them?

Even when buying SD from reputable sources, like Argos or directly from the manufacturer, I strongly suggest you check it first. by storing some test files, to make sure it has no problems. That's what I did with my new Samsung micro-SD before putting it in my phone. And always keep a backup of anything irreplaceable that's on micro-SDs and other media.

If buying from online thru Amazon, make sure the vendor actually is Samsung, if it's Samsung micro-SDs been offered, same for Sandisk, Kingston, etc.

If you're referring to Samsung specific Secure folder then you should go to Samsung website for instructions. https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/what-is-the-secure-folder-and-how-do-i-use-it/ Always go to your phone manufacturers website for specific features.

Thank You Again Svim for taking lots of your time to explain and educate! I've found your explanations very interesting, indeed.

I learned a lot from the articles you linked. As you mentioned, I was somewhat familiar with OS X file structure and knew the basics of Unix. But Android was a mystery to me- so much of a mystery that I was afraid to explore too deeply for fear of wrecking something.

Your explanation of how Android is not more complicated, just different puts everything into clear perspective. One would think, since I have worked with Mac, Windows, DOS and a little Unix that I would have realized that Android is "simply different". (Now that I've read your linked article, the Android file system structure makes a whole lot more sense to me than Windows ever did. But DOS still is my favorite file structure.)

Actually, before the SD card problems, I had been having phone booting trouble and had to do a factory reset. Before I nuked the phone, I dived (dove?) deeper into the file system than I have in the past. (There was nothing to lose at that point.) The exploring was interesting.

Of course, some of my applications don't store things where I would expect (Example = Camera ignores DCIM and goes to Pictures). I was also surprised to see apps that I moved to SD have files on the phone storage as well. The small ones I attribute to the app's "get going" files, but the larges ones are a mystery.

Thank You Again. I sure learned a lot from your posts. And thanks DannyDet for your thoughts on the SD card. (You were right, it is intermittently bad, as tested with read-write cycles on the computer.)

When I get brave enough, perhaps I'll try a root to get rid of the AT&T apps that don't work, but track anyway. (Not to mention run in the background whether started or not, like Hot Spots.) I'll also be happy to be able to delete the ZTE apps that also don't work. (Disabling does not stop AT&T or ZTE apps. I guess they own the phone, not me.)

Enjoy This Day!

It just frustrates me that logically I can't see anything wrong. Possibly this particular brand of phone doesn't support threading very well...?

I don't really see anything wrong either, not sure why a particular phone would be failing when others aren't. But here is how I would approach what you're trying to do:

First, split your onCreateView into two functions, where you currently have the while - with a small addition:
From how I'm reading this, I assume GetNotificationsNewMySQL() is an AsyncTask class? Add a fragment param to your doInBackground() - so something like:
and add an onPostExecute:

I don't know for sure if this will work with Fragments, but I have a couple apps where I follow a similar construct with Activities. Hopefully this will at least put you on a path to a solution.

Weird! Somehow it's back to normal, no reboots, no known changes. Gotta love chit you have no comprehension of...

Hey Everyone,
I just got my 1st "Smartphone" ....
Not Quite what I was Hoping for .. With all the Preinstalled Apps which are not much value to me...

Gotta be something better than what's installed - So I Appreciate ALL THE HELP I CAN GET, Thanking you ALL in Advance...

I NEVER bought a Phone, to "Activate with a Service Plan" but something to:

*Connect to WiFi
*Install a couple of Apks/Apps? - like Hangouts, Google Voice, etc... Something to Connect to Hotspots and make some free calls/ texts/ and maybe a bit of Surfing...


I think the 1st Thing is to get rid of all the Clutter to make this "Smartphone"- WORK FOR ME.

Please, if you can offer some Suggestions, (Detailed Instructions Please) ...on What to Install and HOW?
I've watched a few Videos and I seem to have TROUBLE with ALMOST EVERYTHING...
KIES and ODIN - can't validate/Verify or something...

When Plugged into my Desktop... I Don't seem to be getting anywhere with that!- Though I thought I downloaded a couple of Windows Updates.

NOT SURE if I know how to download/COPY a Program/firmare onto an SD CARD and RUN/Install it on the Smartphone -

I've Done a few Hard Resets.
Not Sure about Rooting...-(Similar to a Hard Reset but Different Option in Boot Menu?)!

Please, Lets Get Started... Here some of the SPECS:

PLATFORM
OS Android OS, v2.3 (Gingerbread)
Chipset Qualcomm MSM7227 Snapdragon S1
CPU 800 MHz ARM 11
GPU Adreno 200

Any other Information needed?

What is the brand and model I.D. of the TV?
It might not be a matter of even being able to install any apps/software onto the TV itself but rather you'll need to buy the appropriate set-top box or device so the TV can be connected to your home network. Then you can use a mobile device (smartphone or tablet) as a remote controller, installing the apps you need to your mobile device. Which, just to clarify things, also leads to the question of do you have WiFi setup at home?

Welcome to Android Forums, Paulo Buchsbaum!

Let me suggest posting your question on our Android Development board. That's where you'll find lots of fellow developers hanging out and exchanging advice and ideas.

Are you on Wi-Fi when you're doing this? If so, do you have other devices on the same network? How do they behave?

My first instinct is to simply reboot the router and modem. Try that and report back.

Of course, if you're NOT using Wi-Fi, then the issue may be with your phone's carrier.

Hi all,

It seems that the latest update made my notifications go silent when I put it on vibrate. My phone used to vibrate when I get texts and emails but now they go silent. Anyone else experience this?

The only times it vibrates now are for phone calls.

I also noticed the "Notifications" line is grayed out in the attached picture.

Got the issue fixed. It was router settings for multicast drop. So as it was disabled now it work. So my ISP sucked and nothin with the phone. Feature came on on last router firmware update.

Power is all I've got. Some user installed app showing Power levels. I have "Battery Widget Reborn near my clock on my left and Sprint or Google's Battery icon on the right.

Unforgiven said:

Some devices have a hard time when encountering a router with the SSID for 2.4GHz and 5GHz set to the same thing (e.g. both set to MyNetwork). I ran into this some time in the past (maybe a doorbell I was testing) and simply renamed my 5Ghz network MyNetwork5G and all was good.

I'm not a huge network guru, so I don't remember or understand the particulars, but it worked for me.

Thanks for the input. I'll check into it.

Yea, if it just started doing that for no reason I'd play around with different scenarios. Definitely give it a could wipe with microfiber etc

Did you buy phone from google or from AT&T? I had the same issue on Verizon with my last phone. Bought from manufacturer 'unlocked' and everything worked except for *visual* voicemail. I had to call into voicemail like the stone age.

I forgot to manually check for mine and it installed automatically tuesday. I usually manually check and install every month (3xl)

yep seems crazy that you can backup individual items but only restore when it comes to a reset

Hi Kannan,

I get the same issue. Did you get a chance to find a solution for this problem?

With TWRP, if I want to make what I want, would I have a problem with the new device? (I've heard there could be an ANDROID_ID conflict)

I created a slider adapter for a view pager i put the animations inside the isViewFromObject method but it work just for some pages of the view pager , is there any slide method where i put the animations, like when i slide the animations of the items start just for the current page.
