Thanks to both of you. I could not find the Samsung charger on their web site because the search feature wasn't intelligent enough to recognize "Car Charger". I had to do chat support and they sent me the link...a "Vehicle Charger". They say its compatible and it was half price at $20 bucks and comes with a cable, so its a good bet and good value.

Here's the Samsung product

I read down the finer print on the Anker charger ocnbrze is using and found this:

"Note Not compatible with Mazda CX-5 2014, Mazda 3 2012, Mazda 3 2013, and Mazda 3 2016. Not compatible with full-speed charging for Note 9, S9, S9+, S10, and S10+. These devices will charge at normal speed"

This is what made me go back to Samsung and ask them about it. Now, it will be interesting to see if the one I bought from them will actually fast charge

Hi i nit root oppo a71k cph1804

Meh........ I'll pass for now....I will wait till this tech is more developed. We'll see what's its like in two years.

You can try the app Disable Increasing Ringtone. Had it on my S5.

I hold email addresses for a club on a Google sheet. The addresses are used to send out newsletters via Gmail. I normally do this using my Windows desktop or laptop with no problem. However I have just tried using an Android tablet (Samsung and Huawei) and my Motorola phone, and although I can copy the addresses, they will not past into the Gmail address box. This seems very strange given its a total Google environment, given it works on Windows 10. Can anyone suggest how I might get it to work please?

Do you have Accidental Touch Protection turned on ? It disables the touch screen in dark areas like your pocket. I use it and have never pocket dialed. It is found under settings>display.

just remove .img from your recovery.img file, that's all.

2 questions:
How do you get to work most days: Drive a Car
How do you usually get around other places: Change it to drive a car from Walking.

I have dealt with this annoying issue for too long before I just found this setting.

Thank you. I'm not sure. I have to look for that app.

Most likely that "OEM" battery is fake.

I have no doubt that all of these "OEM" batteries are fake.

But who knows, sometimes the Chinese make pretty good knock offs. Some times the supplier factories still keep making them. Who knows. Without being involved in the battery industry and becoming intimately familiar with the supply chain, there is no way for us to know. I think it's basically a crap shoot. Which is why I bought (3) batteries when I only need 1 or maybe 2 right now.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thanks
I did have to reinstall my banking app .
Not the end of the world if i cannot get the lock screen off probally better for security but ticked the max amount of locked screen off but its still locking after a short time like 2 mins .
Phones still good and happy i got rid of the annoying pop up on the screen .
Might look at upgrading in the near future .

So I had my Vivo phone for a couple of months now, originally I installed the 4G card in the Slot 1, reception quality is good outside but in the underground parking it's almost impossible to capture 4G signal, most of the time the network symbol is switched to H+.

Last month I spent 2 weeks abroad for a family visit. While staying there I bought a temporary local 4G Sim and put it in the Slot 1, moving the main Sim to the Slot 2. When I came back from vacation, I didn't remove the junk 4G card but I disabled it from the Settings page. I noticed that the reception quality is suddenly improved, I even can use 4G connection in places where it's impossible to use before.

I did a test by placing the main Sim card back to the Slot 1, the reception quality is dropped significantly, just like before.

I'm no engineer so this whole experience makes me a bit perplexed. Not sure if it's just my phone or it's common thing on all smartphones.

ok then so its an app issue. contact the dev.

Dallas, try out an app, called KinScreen. I use it to keep my screen on when using speaker phone.

Thanks so much for the helpful info

You're welcome.

I know some people who don't get this issue on their Androids, so it's a little odd.

Click to expand...

It has to be some issue of commonality, like using the same Android version, or using the same manufacturer's devices, or...who knows? You and I must have something(s) in common that those other people don't. Lucky us!

I wish I could do this, but my J7 Refine battery does not remove...this update is killing me and my phone. Frustrating!!

Click to expand...

Going by when the OP was posted, apparently this 7.11 update for Galaxy J7 was pushed out by Samsung two years ago. Have you only just updated your J7 or something?

No, and therein lie the problem. This is why I still hang on to my s5. It was the last Samsung s5 with a user replaceable battery...

Click to expand...

Samsung does have a few current cell phones with replaceable batteries, but those models are not as good as the S5.

I just deleted two "conversations", one being Amazon notifications, and the phone is better.

Looked at other Androids with replaceable batteries and the LG V20 64GB looks tempting.

Makes sense. Thanks so much for your help!

All I can add is that the second icon on the first image has a "dropped pin" in the same place that Google Maps' icon has it, so that's my guess for that one.

(You might ask how I can be unsure, but I've turned off most of the notifications that Maps sends, so rarely if ever see its notification icon. Plus the photo is a bit fuzzy ).

Thanks Svim. Good info

Thanks for noticing, that was mispresented emojis.
