Since we couldn't figure it out, I thought I'd give LG a chance. As I expected, they had no idea. They started with the no internet connection, but when I told them that I checked and the wifi icon in the Notification bar didn't have it. They got desperate. They wanted me to reset my network connections to try to remove it. I told them that was pointless because the exclamation point wasn't there now. So I told them to forget it. I didn't want to cause a commotion. Within 5 seconds they thanked me and said have a nice day. They didn't even offer to keep trying. Lol I guess I get a perverse pleasure making support personnel squirm.

Please, in settings, check your android system date, timezone and time. I'd start there, first.

Maybe there's some firmware or hardware problem with them? But as these devices are at least five years old now, definitely out of warranty.

Don'y care if warranty or not, like the unit.

That's a pretty dated model, is it running Jelly Bean or KitKat?
A while back I was working on someone's Jelly Bean tablet and they were having a similar problem. Try doing what @ocnbrze suggested, use the 'Clear data' button in your Settings >> More >> Application manager menu for the Google Play Store app entry and see if that helps.
If not, try using 'Clear cache' for both the Google Play services app and the Google Play Store app, and for the Google Play Store app tap on the 'Uninstall updates' button. Reboot and if the Play Store doesn't try to automatically update itself, start up the Play Store app, tap on the three horizontal lines icon (a.k.a hamburger menu) in the upper left to get to 'My apps & games' and manually prompt the Play Store app to update itself.
Hopefully at that point it'll be functional again, but do note that a lot of apps running on such a dated device simply won't be updated to current versions so app updates will still occur but not that often.

Hello,

I am in a group that has been assigned to build an android app for our senior project. None of us have any skills in Java or app development. We started last month and our mentor has a very fast deadline so we have been "learning" as we go and basically using online tutorials to create it - we don't have much time to sit and try to understand the code until later which is not ideal but is what it is.



I am tasked with pulling data that has already been sent to a google spreadsheet, and turning it into graphs/charts for the user to see. I am having trouble trying to bring the data back - I followed along a few tutorials, but if I try to change the script at all, it breaks down and I am not knowledgable enough to fix it. Tutorials are either old and no longer supported, have the data input in the same part (we have already accomplished this on a different page in the app), or have additional stuff we don't need (like the Google Spreadsheet tutorial - it wants the user to log into their google email to see the data).



Does anyone know of any simple tutorials that just purely pull the data back? It seems like each one I try either doesn't work or is way more complex than we need. Preferably I would like to learn java from the ground up without the rush, but unfortunately that isn't possible at this time.

Hi,

Q: Has anyone heard how soon the Asus Zenfone 6 will be available to order for the UK?

More info: I tried to contact Asus using the e-mail on their support page to ask when this smartphone would be back in stock, but sending them a message returned the following error:

"kundenserver.de rejected your message to the following email addresses:
cs(at)asusstore(dot)co(dot)uk"

In the detailed error report further down it reads, ".. allocated storage;Quota exceeded...".

I can send a letter or phone them but I thought it'd be a better idea to ask the lovely AndroidForums community.

I've really enjoyed using this MS Lumia 950 XL, but Microsoft has discontinued support for this device. I love everything about the Zenfone 6 and the Flip Camera is a great gimmick but also very practical. I'm excited to try it out!

If you have anything to share pertaining to my question, I would appreciate it a lot!

Thanks!

i have the same problem and i use onTaskRemoved too, it didn't called when i swipe to remove on recent. can you help me to solve this

Okay, guys, I am really stuck with this problem for about a month now! Maybe someone had something similar or can give me some advice – any help would be greatly appreciated!

in June I've made a minor update to my app and from then nothing works like it should. It had a lot of bugs, sometimes the game didn't even started. The bugs are different but the main thing is like some resources are missing (pictures, music etc.). The bugs are different every time. In fact, I can make 2 builds one after another and they will have different bugs. Important note: I changed literllay NOTHING from my previous configuration that I have built my last successful update.

All my builds are working perfectly without Google Play! I do a build, then install it on the phone and do not have any problems. The problems start when uploading it to Google Play and then downloading it to the device. First, when this happened, all my users had the same bug, so I had to hide my app, and now it's not available to the public. All the following builds had this problem too, so downgrading didn't help either. It's like something changed in Google Play in June!

My game is made using Unity3D, though I've just uploaded a new build on a whole different engine (with the same keystore etc.) and it doesn't work either! My game uses an obb file, so I guess Google does something on its side and then my game doesn't work. When I just replaced an obb file downloaded from Google Play with the one from my PC (it's the same file, I've just uploaded to Google Play!) everything works!

I repeat myself: I've tried EVERYTHING! All the possible build settings, even different engines!

If I just install the game on the phone without Google Play, it works perfectly everytime! Then again, when I upload it to Google Play and then download it, it doesn't work properly or works at all!

I've noticed that with corrupted sdcards, usually..

• Do your pictures get saved straight to the card or just internal storage.. i.e. -> How is your camera data managed?

If this is an internal storage issue, this may possibly be results of a corrupted OTA installation.. you could possibly reinstall the actual Factory Firmware (FW) from sammobile.com with ODIN.exe
Whatever you do, make sure it is the correct firmware (or newer) for your specific device model and current security patch level (info found in Settings-AboutPhone) or you could actually render said expensive device useless due to certain partition software conflicts.

There have always been TV ads for games here with small print in the corner to say that the photo-realistic graphics are "not actual game footage". So I'd never assume that they were an accurate depiction.

The answer to Google/Facebook/the one I've never heard of "doing something" is "when people stop paying them". Given their attitude to genuine malfeasance I really doubt they'll care a damn about misleading adverts (especially since that's close to being an oxymoron).

I never see ads like this on my phone (I never see them at all on my computer), and I don't use an ad-blocker most of the time (the ones you can use without root clash with the network security in some places I visit). Probably down to the apps I use and sites I visit. I also take every measure available against tracking and have all as personalisation turned off (including in the Google settings) - I don't want to see ads at all, so where I do (small banners in apps that have no paid version - anything bigger is an immediate uninstall) I prefer them to be irrelevant as I'm going to ignore them anyway.

wow that sucks. i know there was some weird glitch where i was logged in under another member's account. hopefully this gets fixed.

Were you able to get control back for your Facebook account? You might want to enable some advanced security, just to keep it from happening again.

Go to your Google app, account settings, location, and set it to off

Edit: I found the relevant toggle under Settings, Advanced. So I'm good. No more suggestions. All fixed.

Thanks for letting us know how you fixed it! It may help someone who comes along and has the same problem.

I'm glad you're good to go now!

Long press on it and drag to the x or trash bin on the screen

Hi all I need help with the notification settings on my samsung s10+. Exept for whatsapp, I'm not receiving any notifications at all. When I go to the App info of an app, the notification settings are set to allowed, in the lock screen settings notifications is turned on, do not disturb is turned off. Even in the notification settings, there is a list of recently send notifications but I haven't seen any of them. Somewhere there is probably a hidden setting where it says it shouldn't show notifications but I cannot find it. Can anyone please give some tips?

Hi YotamJo, and welcome to Android forums!

You might want to check the date of a post, and also if it's already been answered, before taking the time and effort to type a reply. This thread is 2 years old! And it was marked as answered.

Just a friendly suggestion!
