Question about phones resistance to presses pressure

I just notice that most case, even the case that comes with phones are very hard to put on
I've never had a phone that came with its own case. :thinking: I've always bought my own, such as Otterbox Defender cases. They're generally easy to put on--tight, yes, but easy enough to put on--while taking them off can be something of a challenge!

If you're using a case that shipped with the phone, it should fit, and I wouldn't expect that to take much effort. If you bought a case yourself, are you sure it's for your exact model?

It's not supposed to be this difficult.

Hacked

My step dad got me this stylo 4 plus. Coostest thing ever right? WRONG! i dont no how he's doing it but has control over every thing i do on it. He can stop a download process and start another just as fast. Make my 'pre-installed pps' none function right. Iv checked all the normal spy apps bht nothing! Any suggestions?

What carrier are you on? He could possibly have a child guard app installed where he can monitor your phone.

SD card memory use?

What do you mean by "uses SD card memory"? Do you mean whether the app can store files on SD (e.g. photos, ebooks, maps), or whether the app itself can be (partially) moved to SD? These are quite different things. My first thought was that you meant the first of these, but then the second is a much more common question.

The simple answer to both questions is "if the developer wrote it that way". For the second question there's also the additional stipulation "if the phone's operating system supports doing that" (not all do).

If you mean the app's ability to write to SD, if the developer hasn't provided that there's nothing you can do. Since Android 5 the app has actually had to request the ability to write to anything more than a limited sandboxed area of the SD card, and if that particular API call isn't included in its code all you can do is ask the developer to add it.

If you mean moving the app to SD, then you could try enabling USB debugging, installing adb on a computer, and using the command:

adb shell pm set-install-location 2

That should allow you to move more apps than you can by default (I suggest doing a bit of reading to find out what that command actually does rather than typing it blindly). It will of course only work if moving to SD is supported by the phone, and it certainly won't allow you to move pre-installed apps. Remember that this is a legacy feature, and limited in what it moves (the apk and library components of the installed app, but no other elements of the installed app and not the app's settings, cache or other data), and you should not attempt to move any app whose widget you use (the widget will continue to work until the next time you reboot the phone, but will be broken after that unless you move the app back to internal).

Help Lost color code options on Google Calendar

I use the same Google Calendar on 2 identical phones (Motorola Turbo II) on Verizon. Suddenly today, my second phone no longer allows me to set up appointment with a choice of color code. The most noticeable difference I see on the new or edit appointment page is the absence of color code choice and another button with a Lock icon captioned "Calendar default." Appointments already on the calendar still allow editing of color code. I want to return the Calendar on that second phone to the original settings.

But I have been using my phone...

Yes I did and that made me feel a little better
Okay, that's good, because I don't think there's anything to worry about.
however now I'm a little more concerned because your screenshot doesn't show anything like mine so why does mine have it and no one else's?
Correction: no one who's popped in on this conversation. :)

There are a million reasons your options can be different from mine. If you look through any threads at random, where people have compared screenshots of various things, you'll find that they're almost never identical. The manufacturer, the specific device, the carrier, the Android version...lots of things can cause differences.

If you're still worried--and I don't think you should be--please post a few screenshots of these timestamps, and let us have a look at them.

MP3 files disappear from expansion card

Ahhh, so you're using the file manager app to locate and then play your music files. If you can see those mp3 files some of the time but not always that's probably because you're looking at directories in the internal storage media, not your microSD card. You might find the 'My Files' app more useful if you go into its Settings menu and tweak the options accordingly (if using it primarily to find your mp3 library on your card).

Accessories Note 10/10+ accessories

Did you get an iOttie mount? How is it doing?

yes and no......the iottie i order turned out to the nonwireless version. i need to send it back and get the right one.

however, the one that i have now actually does work. the issue that i have is that the phonegets quite hot while charging and i get a popup message saying that the charging is paused because the phone is too hot. i have to scoot the phone a bit so that the charging plates are not in contact and let the phone cool down. this does not happen a lot, but enough to annoy me.

Just wanted to say I've completed a long weekend away, with a 2½ hour drive in each direction plus multiple drives in between - with the phone connected to my watch and using the buds so my wife wasn't annoyed by the satnav voice, it still gained battery charge through the tough Armor case.

Probably not as much as a layer model would though, not sure what the output is.

Help How to stop automatic android updates in stock android phone?

Stock android doesn't automatically update you in the first place. It will notify you of updates, but won't apply them unless you tell it to.

Some US carriers force updates. Whether Xiaomi do as well I don't know.

BTW just for clarity you have Xiaomi's stock ROM, but probably not "stock android" (i.e. AOSP). It will contain Xiaomi modifications, as essentially all phones have manufacturer mods of varying degrees. Just saying as the phrase "stock android" has a definite meaning and so using it to describe a manufacturer ROM can cause confusion.

I have android one phone which means pure android without any skin added on top by manufacturer. It is not a carrier locked phones. Since phone doesn't give an option to disable updates, so i was wondering if i can stop some background apps that will not show me even the updates available message in future?
My phone does show me that an update is available however iot doesn't ask me when i would like to apply it. It just says update will be applied when i restart phone.
