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.

I forgot to mention, when I say "Hey Google", if I have both my phone and galaxy tab s5e open at he same time, my tablet is the only one to respond.

I would like that to be reversed, making the phone the default.

So some app can be downloaded for free from the Google app store? That's not news; that describes millions of apps! I'm guessing this is your app? Tell us about your app, and what it does, and why you made it.

Don't listen to your PR department! PR departments don't want to say anything real. They think that pretty pictures and flowery language are better than telling people about the product they're selling. But you're not a PR department, you're a developer. You developed this app, and you developed it for a reason. It deserves better than a mere pretty picture.

I can't change my email address in my Gallery settings (See attached screenshot).
I've tried this a few times and it doesn't work (Samsung Gallery and OneDrive (microsoft.com)).
All I want to do is change the email address listed in the "Sync with OneDrive".
Android has no problem syncing everything else that OneDrive (files, etc. because I'm logged in correctly to OneDrive. It's just Gallery that has it wrong).

I Have this EXACT same problem man. I've gone through and completely tried every possible setting, reinstall, repairing, and making sure the onedrive account is correct and logged on. Still, it shows the same old email address that's not even connected to anything and I can't change this in Gallery. I'm at my wits end

There could be a slight difference between your local contact info and your saved google contact info causing two almost identical contacts.

If there's nothing already set in there it's probably not the cause. I don't know whether it can be used as a workaround though (as I've never used it).

Good luck.

so techmatte is the website:Screen Protectors, Car Mounts, Apple Pencils & More

and amfilm is the protector you bought:

just to make clear for other folks..

and just an fyi amazon also have amfilm protectors for the s23+:
amFilm [2+2 Pack Samsung Galaxy S23+/S23 Plus 6.6'' Privacy Screen Protector with Camera Lens Protector

just look in the notification pull down to see what it is.......oh wait.....this is not your phone. you can just ask the person, but i guess that is not an easy thing to do.

just so you know, we get this question every day. and 9 times out of 10 the question never gets fully answered. the problem is that there are thousand of apps that uses a heart icon as its notification icon. and yes there are some dating apps that use it. but majority of the ones i have seen are for health and well being AND NOT DATING APPS. so unless it is something like youtube or facebook, majority of these questions goes unanswered.

@ocnbrze My friend, I have a Samsung a52 smartphone. I recorded a video so you can see:


With your smartphone, can you get to a smaller size than the one I show you in the video?

Have you tried contacting the developer?

Actually no, but having signed in with them I found the answer on their forum (see above).

Thanks for not only explaining the problem, but what you did to solve it! That will help other users who search the forums for help with that particular issue.

There are other AOSP ROMs apart from Lineage, but that's just a quibble, because if there is no ROM development for your phone it doesn't matter what development there is for other phones as that won't help you .

It Wasn't A Rant! p.s What Could I Upgrade To Then? I Need Android 7.0 Or Newer And I Don't Want To Buy A Brand New Phone Because It's Worth Spending More On A PC Than A Mobile Device And However, It's Okay If I Could Get Android 6.0 Max Or Just Stick With Android 5.1 And It's Battery Can Last For 1 Day!

Click to expand...

As others have said, the Android version number doesn't matter: if you have no updates available from the manufacturer and there is no development and no root for your phone then there is no upgrade option whatsoever.

But you certainly can buy a phone for less than a PC: it's perfectly possible to find budget phones from reputable manufacturers new from ~€/£/$130 or so, without any network subsidy, and there's no way you can buy a new PC for that price (or if you can I don't think I'd want to take the risk of plugging it in!).

However since this is an old CDMA handset it's possible that you can only use handsets which your provider approves (some of your providers in the States are weirdly controlling). So I can't offer any specific advice because I don't know what handsets are available to you. But if you can't buy a phone that isn't significantly cheaper than a PC you are with the wrong provider.

There's no need to remove the original question and ask for a thread to be deleted once you get an answer. The purpose of the forum is to provide help to others, so if you leave the question in place someone else with the same problem can find it and the solution. Whereas if you remove the question and ask for the thread to be deleted anyone else who has the problem in future has to ask again (and, if the right person doesn't see it, maybe not get an answer).

Xfinity is an ISP

Click to expand...

Yes, and it has a mobile app in Google play. I tried calling them. It's virtually impossible to contact them except by a chatbot, unless you can supply a zip code in their coverage area. Maybe someone can post a zip code so I can get past that roadblock to their customer service

mikedt said:

Xfinity is an ISP isn't it, rather than an app? This looks to me like pop-up ads for products and services, such as Xfinity and Audible, rather than apps actually opening on your phone.

I'd guess you've got some adware installed on your phone that might have come with some "free" app or game you installed possibly?
Is it a US carrier version phone you've got there? Because I've read reports on AF of pre-installed adware on those devices.

Click to expand...

I've had this model of phone for years, so I would think an app rather than pre-installed is likely the source.
I can accept in-app ads, but this is not acceptable.

Can someone recommend a way to export a list of installed apps so I can begin sorting out which one may be responsible, like posting the list to get answers or advice?

Usually we can't get these but thankfully it was a super common one. Happy I was able to help..

FULL YOUTUBE DEMO:

AndroidStudio (AS) fails to find the definition of ScriptC_invert when implementing a Renderscript (in another file invert.rs). It is placed in a directory src/main/rs and this is updated in the gradle (AndroidStudio folder). I am using Android SDK 33 which should still support Renderscripts.

I am sure there are no code-wise issues as I am consistent with several examples online, namely, the invert.rs contains:

// File: invert.rs

#pragma version(1)
#pragma rs java_package_name(com.example.sharp)

and the Java code:

ScriptC_invert invert = new ScriptC_invert(rs);

but I get:

error: cannot find symbol ScriptC_invert invert = new ScriptC_invert(rs);

The build.gradle contains:

renderscriptTargetApi 18
renderscriptSupportModeEnabled true

as well as:

sourceSets {
main {
renderscript {
srcDirs 'src/main/rs'
}
}
}

Anyone managed to get this running on current android/AS versions? Thanks!

If you are experiencing issues with the search functionality in the Google Docs app on your Android device, there are a few potential reasons and solutions to consider:

1. Indexing delay: Google Docs needs to index the content of your documents in order to provide accurate search results. Sometimes, there might be a delay in indexing, especially for older documents. In such cases, waiting for some time (hours or even a day) and trying the search again could help.
2. Connectivity issues: Ensure that your device is connected to a stable internet connection while using the Google Docs app. Incomplete or intermittent internet connectivity may prevent the app from accessing the necessary data to provide comprehensive search results.
3. Account sync: Check if your Google account is properly synced on your Android device. Go to Settings > Accounts > Google and make sure the account associated with your Google Docs is selected and properly synced. This helps ensure that your documents are up to date and searchable.
4. App updates: Keep your Google Docs app updated to the latest version available. App updates often include bug fixes and performance improvements that can resolve issues with search functionality.
5. Clear cache and data: If the issue persists, you can try clearing the cache and data of the Google Docs app. Go to Settings > Apps > Google Docs > Storage > Clear Cache/Clear Data. Note that clearing data will sign you out of the app, and you'll need to sign in again.
6. Contact Google Support: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, you can reach out to Google Support for further assistance. They can provide specific guidance and investigate any potential app-related issues.

I had this issue three times on the same device and fixed it very simply. Just remove back cover and connect bench power supply directly to battery , bypasding charging circuit. 3.5-4V is enough, 10 minutes or so will bring battery level back to recognizeable by charging circuit and then you can use normal USB charger.
Don't allow device to discharge fully if you don't want to repeat procedure again.
Don't know what it has with "wrong id KERNELL LENGTH" error which sounds to me very misleading...

Is auto backup the default with Google Photos? It wasn't on my current s21 (I know because I chose not to enable it), and it would seem very dodgy to me (and possibly illegal in Europe - I don't know about the US) for them to make "we'll keep a copy of every image you take" the default, especially on a pre-loaded app.

(Also do Huawei devices even come with it pre-installed? It may not be there unless actively chosen).

Unfortunately "why did this happen?" is a very difficult question to answer. Different devices come with different software, and then people install different apps on them. I've never heard of this, but I've never owned a Huawei MediaPad so don't know what file cleaning or device management software they install, or what other apps you have installed, or how any of that is set up. Were all the lost files in one place, e.g. a "Downloads" folder? If so it just needed some utility to treat that as temporary storage and clean it up (again, I've never seen that happen, but I've always personally regarded Downloads as a temporary storage area, and anything I want to keep I will move out of there to "its proper place". But the point is that if you just left stuff there it only required something to empty that one folder to explain everything you have seen).

Hi,
I need your help. I have paired pixel 4 API 31 with Wear OS Large Round API 30 in Android studio. In device manager beside names of devices there is an icon which says: Paired and conneceted.

Also in Wear OS app on Pixel 4, it says: Emulator, Connected via Bluetooth.

For example if I try to change watch face, i click three dots and i click set on watch
but nothing happens...

the only thing which works, if I click extended controls, and for example i click
Phone, and I click send msg. This works as msg normally comes also on smartwatch
and if I reply to this msg from smartwatch, this also works...

Please can you help me why other functions like changing watch face from Wear OS app is not working ?

I need that so that i can try my app for changing watch face.

Do I need to edit some other settings or what ?

Thank you
