Hey guys, one more question, I bought CN rom k20 pro and its bootloader is locked, so I heard that if you want to flash official global rom for k20 pro you don't have to unlock bootloader? Is this true?

i would say it sounds more like quickbooks then paypal

never heard of it though, so i can't say if it is legit or not.

i found this article that might help:

@GameTheory thought so too, when he posted it!

If "Completely erase all the content" contains your firmware too, flashing a stock firmware would work for you best hopefully as you have a reasonable doubt about being recovered

Im also a newbie to gorums and understand exactly what you mean. I apologize if I missed something but what type of device is the stock image you are in search of?
I can make a suggestion and I am not suggesting root but XDA may have atock images or links to stock images that may be what you are looking for. For instance

I dout that exactly what you need but perhaps you many find the one you want. Good luck

I have a Galaxy Tab A 10.
I have never had a problem with it.
I don’t play games on it. I only use it to answer emails, work on my web site, and check Facebook.
I have only installed a few apps on it but they are just basic productivity apps.
Just recently my Google Play store has disappeared off from the Tab.
I don’t know why. I just uninstalled an app one day and went to reinstall it and notice that the Play Store was gone.
I went into my settings and verified that the play store was no longer on the Tab.

I tried logging into the Play Store on my PC’s browser and went to install and app.
I picked the app I wanted to install.
I picked my Tab SM-T580 from my devices drop down menu and clicked on install.
It gave me the message “will be installed on your device soon”.
I waited for a long time but it never got sent to my device.
I tried doing the same thing again and this time when I clicked on install I got a blank popup that only said “OK”.

I tried doing the same think with the browser on my Tab and I get the same results.

Has anyone else had this issue or know how I can resolve this and get the Play Store back on my Tab?

User Steven 58 summed it up well. Monitor the apps you do use, and after some time decide which ones you use/like and keep those and clear out the ones you dont. If you are unsure if you should or should not delete something just ask here and/or do some digging online to find out if it is a necessary app.

Clearing data and cache regularly is a good part of general device maintenance. Once a week or once a month depending on frequency of use (more use = more often) is a generally good idea.

Also, im not sure if i would consider facebook to be an educational platform, but it is not my place to advise you on what platforms your children should/should not have access to. However I would say it is a good idea to monitor their use and frequency of use of any applications at such a young age.

ABSOLUTLY! The 'cyber world,' is a potentialy dangerous place and dangerous for all its potential danger! Some options/settings will have a first time setup explanation. You can get all the information reading through google about youre and youre familys devices. Theres some very skilled and informative folks here on Android Forums of course and google is where you can read up on youre/any device and learn what youre devices settings and apks are and do then you can better understand the purpose for the given settings so you can know how based on youre and youre familys particular needs and/or wants to get things setup properly. And more important how to bettet protect youreself and family. I know theres lots to learn just pace/brace yourself so you dont frustrate youre coming in to learning the complexitys involved in all this. YOU GOT THIS MANG! 👽

I suppose to clarify what the problem is:

I have a key that corresponds to the emulator. I actually can't remember and can't find the reference to how I got this value, but I put that value in the "to" field of the message I'm sending:

Now, suddenly, this key isn't working anymore, so it looks like something has changed. How do I make sure that this stays up to date so that my app can continue to send notifications to the same device?

But, going into Android phone, turning bluetooth on, bring headphones very close, turn head phones on.
Blue light on phones blinks.
Then, try to play for example, a youtube vid on the phone....and the sound is still coming out of the phone, not the
headphones.
Naturally, the "solution" is always "You just need to buy another APP!"

Never heard or seen of that, not in any Bluetooth audio product.

Well, no, actually, I don't. What I need to do is get a sony walkman with WIRED headphones and take a sledghammer to the cell phone.

I'm not old. Your tech just Sucks Donkey Balls.

It could be the Bluetooth in your Alcatel phone is faulty. But it does have a WIRED headphone jack in it, so you should still be able to use WIRED headphones with it.

Welcome to Android Forums, Jibber!

I took some pictures with the Camera. I want to copy and paste them into some emails and some forums and some text messages.

Click to expand...

That's generally a function of the apps you mentioned. For example, to add a photo on this forum, you use its 'Upload a file' link. In my email client, I add photos by using its 'attachments' function. Etc.

What am I doing wrong?

Click to expand...

See above. However, to answer your question about copying/pasting photos, yes, it's definitely possible--I do it all the time. If you tell us what app you're using, that could shed some light on the problem. But keep in mind the above. Copying/pasting is generally done from one location to another; to get a photo into a different app usually involves that app's upload/import/attach feature.

FIXED: After an exhaustive search, I found nothing related to enabling/disabling mobile network notifications. I found it was actually an app notification: RTM (Remember the Milk), a task manager. It has a notification "Remember the Milk Alert Service" which triggered every time the service connected/disconnected from the network. So, any loss or regaining of the mobile network was emitting this notification.

To alter this notification:

• Tap Settings/Apps/Notifications/Remember the Milk
• Tap "Remember the Milk Alert Service" to disable it. Alternatively, you can leave it enabled and turn off the sound, leave a visual notification, etc.

For those who have read this far: The way I found this was going into the system sounds (Settings/Sounds/Notification sounds) and listening to each until I found the one that was playing -- "Charming Bell", in this instance -- and then going through each app's notifications looking for one that was using that sound. When I found one, I changed it to something else more obnoxious and noticeable, making it unique from other sounds so I could confirm which app might be doing this. Tedious and time consuming but, fortunately, I have solved the issue.

What dialer are you using?

So either Secure Folder is being a pain, or Google Play store is.

I linked my gmail account to my secure folder (hereby referred to as SF), but I then found that any app I downloaded from the Play Store (as opposed to using the Play Store app directly on my phone) was installed in the SF. My "regular cell" wasn't even an option to select to install the app there.

Because I didn't want this, and I was concerned about Removing The Account in SF deleting EVERYTHING on my cell, I instead uninstalled SF. But the problem is there. I've tried going into my Google account to make sure my device is there (my regular cell is, but the SF "device" is not.)

I acctached a second G-account, no go.

I tried reinstalling SF to see if maybe the g-account was still there and then trying to remove it, but it's (not surprisingly) not there. And I'm concerned about re-adding my G-account because I don't want the same thing to happen again.

Any ideas? And yes, I have tried turning my cell off and on again.

On Moto e4 is there a special device configuration to get host device to read peripheral. And, is it possible to plug into Android tablet with Moto e4 as if it were a pen drive

in the past (early android os) one click roots worked on a lot of devices. however since rooting usually means that it takes advantage of exploits or weaknesses in the os, most manufacturers and even carriers have made improvements and thus rooting gets harder as updates are made.

like i said in my earlier post, if there is no forum for your device then that means there is no developers working on your phone. not all phones are rootable and sometimes the root process is device specific. however i did find this thread, you might want to try it:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help/samsung-galaxy-sol-cricket-kingroot-t3473119

basically oem unlock and then use kingo root. not sure how successful it will be, but good luck

edit: you will need odin running on your pc

that is the only bit of info i can find.

and it is not just about the os. for most phones it has to do with the manufacturer, your carrier, and the chipset.

There is this floating icon on my screen when I click it there is a play ,pause,front and back option.when I play it, it starts speaking the text on my screen. This icon is very irritating but I am unable to delete it. I have tried long pressing it, dragging it around the ends of the screen etc but it's not going. Please help.

Sounds like it might be something to do with the accessibility features of your phone or tablet, like Talk Back, which is intended for visually impaired. Check the Accessibility options in the Settings.

Well! I am amazed at the large number of replies, many thanks to you all.

I have phoned Three UK and they were very helpful.

There were five premium texts all approx at the same time on a Monday. The texts cost £4.50 and there were 5 Mondays in the month so the cost was high.

Three responded with a refund to my account, a temporary block on all calls/texts etc outside my allowances, gave me the contact number for the company and recommended that I test STOP to the number.

The company deals with computer games and reality TV shows etc which is an unlikely interest for me and my wife as were both on our 80's.

Once again thanks to you all.

If all else fails, go to chrome settings force stop it, wipe data, then uninstall it. Now reinstall it from the play store. If this doesn't work, then there could be an underlying issue that might not be related to chrome.

even if you have the volume turned up? was it always like this?

ocnbrze said:

not necessarily. you can still be rooted and still have the stock rom (samsung original software).....so 4 and 5 tells you nothing about being rooted....other then that it is on the original software.

but i see no evidence just from what you provided that your device is rooted. did they give your more details as to why they think it was rooted? if not i would demand a good reason. if all they have is what you have given, then i call bs on them.

Thank you. Samsung insist that "WARRANTY VOID : 1 (0X0000)" shows that the software was tampered. Could you please explain how are values "1" and "0X0000" derived?

Thank you. I'll do that.

I mean if there's a picture on a website, in email, etc., and it's too small. Some can be resized easily and some can't. I'm looking for a way to make them all enlargeable.

Click to expand...

If you're trying to enlarge the image within the website or email, pinch to zoom has worked well for me. Just put 2 fingers on the screen and split them apart. Thumb and index usually work best.

Edit:
I got ninja'd

As mentioned, price varies per device. Have you tried getting pricing from different services online?

This has become a shady industry so I just stick with DoctorSIM which I trust, but I think your device will be at least $12 with them, if not more.
https://www.doctorsim.com/us-en/

Just get pricing from different services and see if one meets your pricing requirement or comes close. Also you can check your local mall, there's usually a couple of phone shops with unlocking services.

Hello I'm using Firebase real-time database in my app, the problem is that I can only read from the database when the database has changed through the onDataChange event.
I need to read from the database at any given moment or get a DataSnapshot instance from DatabaseReference, any suggestions?
