That 'SMS & MMS Search and Delete' app looks pretty interesting but apparently it's not available in the Google Play Store so it requires one to download the apk and sideload it. Just an off-hand caveat as that's a minor security issue to consider. But yeah, it does seem odd that there doesn't appear to be even some equivalent in the Play Store.

But just add to the reply @Dannydet made, if you don't have a good backup solution in place you really should set one up now. Don't rely on your mobile device's internal storage, or even a microSD card, for any kind of long-term archiving.
An app like 'SMS Backup & Restore' will allow you to back up your text messages and phone call log, and make it easy to do a restore if necessary or transfer if migrating your data to another device.

The Google Photos app is a basic photo manager (like Gallery) but includes a backup & sync function, that will automatically backup your photo library into your online Google account.

Whenever you need to access your photos you can either use the app on your device or use a web browser by going to:
https://photos.google.com
and access them using the web interface. Or you don't need to use the Google Photos app as your photo manager, use whichever app you prefer, the important aspect being to have that backup function enabled.

I found a setting that will keep updates from automatically installing once it's downloaded. Its in Developer Options. If you don't have developer options turned on go to software information and tsp on Build Number 7 times. Then go to Developer options and scroll down to Automatic Software Updates. Turn off "Apply updates when system restarts". At least that will give you time to stop the update.

It is the baseband, surely you have the T599NUVAOH1 that is not compatible with many roms only with the carbonROM, try changing the baseband or the firware, and the problem is the updat-binary

Ok...that pretty much takes care of all the do it yourself options I can think of. The only other thing I can think of is taking it to your carrier's shop and having one of their staff give it the once over.

I took a full log of Android from Developer Options. If anyone can identify why the System UI crash is happening, I'd be more than happy.

Here's a link to Ubuntu Pastebin, since Android Forums gives me "a security error": https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/RXZTSh5F54/

Hello guys!

I have an issue with locked screen notifications.
When my screen is unlocked i receive notifications with no issues but as soon as the screen is locked i don't receive any notifications or even hear a sound if i received any message from any app, for example WhatsApp is working fine when screen is unlocked but when it's locked i don't get any notifications.

Android system: Lollipop 5.1
Phone model: Philips Xenium V787

I've tried the following solutions but none of them worked out:
- Settings> Sound & notification> Notification> When device is locked> Checked "Show all notification content".
- Checked app notifications in phone settings.
- Advanced Wi-Fi> Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep> Checked "Always"
- Reset WhatsApp notifications.
- Reinstalling WhatsApp.
- Cleared partition cache from recovery mode.

What I've noticed is that Gmail notifications work fine, even when screen is locked i still hear a notifications sound whenever i receive an email but for the rest of the apps, i don't receive any notifications at all unless the screen is unlocked or the app is opened.

Would appreciate your suggestions to solve this issue.

Thanks in advance.

Just an updated analysis, from the same author. Another nice summary debunking a lot of the click-bait hype that saturates the media.

I cannot get my laptops usb to pick up and access my tablet - it charges it, that is all

Something I forgot to ask you: why do you want to connect via cable? There are other ways to connect that don't involve any physical equipment. Since charging is not your objective, you don't need a cable.

I use Airdroid, which is an excellent app that gives you complete access to your Android device from a computer. You might want to take a look and see if it would work for your objective.

Just a random comment but a lot of third-party file manager apps already include their own integral SMB/CIFS support, plus Google released its own implementation for Android a couple of years ago, you can peruse through (and download the source code) its GitHub page here:
https://github.com/google/samba-documents-provider

Three have now resolved this matter.

Apparently the A70 software is at fault and does not support wifi calling at present. This is what I have been told and it may be different for other providers

OK but you did initially ask about 'altering' your email settings, that's done between settings in your email client (the app you're using) and settings in your online account. Enabling/disabling the sync itself is done through the Settings >> Accounts menu in your device.

There's lite ... and then there's floating on air! lol

For a conclusion to this issue, I have not power cycled the phone for almost 30 days, and it maintains the Blue Tooth list. Conclusion is DON'T POWER the phone OFF and it will retain the BT list.

I tried to root my phone using the method in the following link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a30/how-to/root-galaxy-a30-magisk-canary-relaese-t3936481 and at first it worked. Then a few minutes later when checking for root, my phone was suddenly no longer rooted.

I then tried to open Magisk Canary, but that caused my phone to keep rebooting.

I went into recovery mode, formatted and then tried to root again.

Now my phone is stuck in download mode (I cannot restart, if I try it just goes back) and has a message saying... Downloading... Do not turn off target. There is a message in red saying Error Validating footer. (6).

Does anybody know how to fix this?

Try this clip for example, it's 4K HDR encoded in H.265 / HEVC, I don't know if that makes a difference:

Stutters in the default video player app for me. One thing to note is that it's smooth in portrait mode, but the moment you rotate into landscape fullscreen, it starts dropping frames. Now, turn on the screen recorder from within game tools and the stutters are mostly eliminated. What gives?

Another way to compare would be with a video player that lets you switch between hardware and software decoding, like MX Player. Watch the clip in HW mode and then switch to SW - it's choppier in HW mode for whatever reason. Using SW is not an option as the colours are not displayed properly and battery drain is much higher.

Regarding the clip - if it's against the rules to post such content, let me know and I'll remove it. There's a whole YouTube channel full of this stuff, I don't want to link to those as the problem I'm encountering is related to local video playback.

FWIW I don't have an S10 myself and don't know anyone who does, but on my Huawei Mate 10 that Plane Crash Scene video plays perfectly on it, using MX, Kodi, and the stock video player.

The 4K YouTube video just buffers, unless I drop it to 1080, then it plays. Which is likely my limited bandwidth.

no idea, but it is worth a shot.

I merged your 2 post together, no need to have 2 separate post.

It seems that those apps are made for power users with unlimited data plan.

You're over-thinking it, it's really not that hard. These links should help you.

I'm not sure if anyone is still reading but i have more details
The "problem" occurs if i synch a playlist. And the phenomena is the following : for every song in the playlist, the synching process creates additional folders with the structure albumartist/album (mp3 tags). To illustrate if the playlist contains the song Madame George with Album = "Astral Weeks" and AlbumArtist = "Van Morrison", the synching process creates a folder Van Morrison/Astral Weeks with 1 song Madame George.

I discovered in WMP in Tools/Options/<smartphone> -> Properties an option "Create folder hierarchy on device" that is checked. But i cannot uncheck it

When all else fails, try a clean build. It's the equivalent of "have you tried turning it off and on again"

So gave the Koh Universl Cleaner a go.. did a pretty good job after 3 applications the water stains are gone. I do have a very bad spot behind the taps that needs some more work, but generally it was good.

It's not very good with stainless steel tho, takes a lot of work and leaves the surface misty. I'll stick with my stainless cleaner for those areas as it does the job in 30s to a minute.

Sounds interesting..... let me play this first of all.
