Thank You Hadron for a very good explanation of how texting works. It is certainly complicated. I get confused between MMS, RCS, SMS and now my phone wants to send something called "RCS Chat". From what I can find out, RCS is quite an improvement in security over SMS.


In the last paragraph, you mentioned not being sure about no way to send without attachment. I apologize, but I explained very poorly. Here is another try:
A person named "Louis" sent me a text message with a photo. ("Attachment")
It is still in my inbox 50 days later.
I wanted to send Louis a text. My new text got sent to Louis with the one he had sent to me 50 days ago, including the photo.

It seems to send a new text with to someone who already has a text in my inbox- with no old texts attached- all texts from that person should be deleted from the inbox before composing & sending the new text. Best I've got.

I just used CleanMyMac X to ensure it's completely uninstalled and any problems are identified before reinstalling. No improvement.

I tried the permanent ME removal on my M4800 and it worked. However my laptop has no problem detecting all the RAM in it in BIOS. The Linux stuff still showed no ME, and I see no ME device within Windows.

I confirmed my email now what do I do?

you confirmed email on your roku? thru your phone?

so let me get this straight. you have a tracfone Hotspot device, correct? and you have a tv with a roku device hooked up, correct? on your tv you were able to get where you enter your account info for the roku, and that is where you entered your email, yes? does your roku see the hotpost network name?

On a Galaxy press 3 dot menu, choose "sort" then "custom," then long press an alarm and you can drag it up or down to customize the order.

ahhhhh yes, though for me on my z fold 4 there up and down arrows at the very right that allows me to move the particular alarm up or down the list.

Could you recap your steps for resolution? My Moto phone suddenly started having the same problem with adult sites.

Click to expand...

It turns out that the problem I had was not restricted to adult sites. It just happened that a particular adult site I visit from time to time suddenly became blocked. I was not aware of any other sites being blocked. However, quite unexpectedly I noted that Sky News which I use regularly had something blocked of near the bottom of some pages. It turned out that the items being blocked were actually some advertisements. This then totally changed the perspective as it appeared some Ad Blocker was causing the problem, rather than an Adult Site Blocker.
I then had to check for Ad Blockers on my device and found 1 particular Ad Blocker was causing the problem. So I deactivated it and it cleared the unwanted blocking.
I cannot comment on your particular problem, but, given my experience, you might investigate if you have an Ad Blocker on your device which is causing the problem?

it's solved now

Thanks, I have androwish installed, it will run graphical tcl scripts on my phone, I was looking more along the lines of a package that'll recognize screen area, know about rotating portrait / landscape, stuff like that. I can start in at a low level, but I didn't want to invent a wheel only to find that someone else already has a set of Goodyears.

Cool, I run and make apps too. You want to do exchange app reviews. I'll review and rate your app and you review and rate mine. You can find it at Image Picker - Random Picker - Apps on Google Play

Sorted , Thanks . Mike

What project template should I use for my Android app when setting up my project in Android Studio? I want it to just have the same project name at the top of every Activity. I'll add whatever else is needed.

OK, yes, and make's quite good other software as well.

No belt clip options, but several choices here seem to otherwise meet your needs/wants:
Amazon.com : sony xperia 1 iii case and screen protector

I'm not usually an early adopter but moto has been at this quite a while, so I think it's low risk. I've wanted a flip smartphone, but one that wasn't Samsung. Google decided to go the foldable route, so hoping the RAZR+ is the one.

Will definitely give my 1st impression review and probably again after a month of use.

But I am! I'm moving, saved the original boxing, can't get the darn handle off! HELP!

have you tried contacting or going in to your carrier and see what they say?

What's the difference between Empty Views Activity and Basic Views Activity?

In fact, where can I get a comprehensive description of all the various activity templates that are provided when starting a new project?

I'm sorry to read that. I didn't know AF was banned in China.

Click to expand...

Google is banned in China. I've made many posts over the years on AF, about how to install and use Google on Chinese phones and tablets. So I'm guessing the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology(MIIS) in Beijing took a look at the posts and threads on Android Forums, and they didn't like what they saw. The MIIS is an organ of the CCP that censors the internet in China.

What is CloudFlare? Why do they care about these things? Is there any way around it?

Click to expand...

Really the only way around it is to appear from an IP address that's assigned to a real end-user ISP or carrier. VPN servers and most TOR nodes reside on servers in data centres. Unfortunaretly CloudFlare assumes IP addresses originating in data centres, are doing bad things on the internet, like DDoS attacks, spammers, and bots. And so CloudFlare websites, might show CAPTCHAS or just ban those IP addresses from viewing their contents.

This is CloudFlare's own description of what they do:-
Cloudflare is a global network designed to make everything you connect to the Internet secure, private, fast, and reliable.
Secure your websites, APIs, and Internet applications.

To be honest I am not sure. The apps update themselves regularly.....

Ah see if you don't read you'll never know since I used to think all S5 to S7 phones were the same until stumbling upon the dummies guide post.

The limited recovery capability of apps for photos from 2022 and 2023 is not due to Android updates encrypting deleted files. It is primarily because as time passes and new data is written to the device, the chances of successful recovery decrease. To increase your chances of recovering deleted photos:

1. Act quickly after deletion.
2. Use reputable data recovery software.
3. Consider rooting your device for better recovery results (but be aware of the risks).
4. Check if your deleted photos are available in cloud backups or other backup solutions.

Remember to regularly back up your important data to avoid permanent loss.

I don't know how to look at this

When the device is connected to USB, it still shows usbCharge = false, while at that time acCharge is shown as true.
Moreover, while assigning the value of chargePlug here, it is either assigning 0 or 1, no other value. Why is it so?

I understand that it may be a loss for the store, but it is also for the customer. I bought a brand new phone and had issues with it right off the bat. I had it replaced through the warranty and was sent a refurbished phone. How is that my problem that the phone was defective? Why shouldn't I receive a brand new phone when that is what I paid for. Sounds a bit one sided to me.

what phone do you have? where did you buy the phone? i usually buy my phones from Best Buy. if it was just purchased, they would have just replaced it with a new one. if you use Geek Squad protection than you might get a refurbished phone.
