Help Periods. Between. Each. Word

You've not got your keyboard set to interpret a double tap on the spacebar as "insert a period"? That could produce spurious periods, though between every word would see excessive.

Is it only SMS? If so, what happens if you use a different SMS app? (It will be the same keyboard, so I'd expect that the behaviour would be the same. If not then please tell us what SMS app you have the problem with).

Help Nokia 1 & 3310 3G read only language capability

I contacted Nokia by email and they told me that the Nokia 1 TA-1056 DS is the right Latam model for me as I want to use it in the EMEA and LATAM regions. I was wondering whether all Nokia 1's can read Arabic and Spanish sms as well as the standard reading and writing of English?

I've identified the correct Nokia 3310 3G model I am looking for with quad band 2G and 3G as TA-1036, or at least that's what Nokia told me.... I would like to know if this model can also at least read Arabic and Spanish sms as well as read and write English?

I have had no straight answer from Nokia for these additional questions. I have an old Nokia 106.1 which was bought in the UK and that can also read Arabic and Spanish but that does not mean that all Nokia's can do this...

If there is no straight answer to this is there a free third party app I can use to flash the Nokia 3310 3G or add a language that won't completely wreck it? I may try to see if it can receive Arabic and Spanish sms first before doing this...

Many thanks for any advice.

Note9 Tips and Tricks

Anyone know any useful features since the OneUI update? Like hard press button shortcuts and options, how to gain access to something like developer mode, literally anything that can let me change some things that bc I have a "screen overlay" (I did NOT put in) I can't access? Or how to delete unwanted apps (see photo- 3 phone apps for??? I'll never know)

My phone keeps using WiFi to make calls

Well, I for one get concerned when my wifi is supposed to be off, yet my "wifi calling" opens itself when I don't know it and my calls Beep and wcho, I check and see that it's on... and then won't allow me to shut it off. Light blue or as I usually call it "greyed out". A common theme in every phone I've bought in the past 6 years.

I just updated my phone and now when I make a call it uses my WiFi. How do I turn it off? I am on the Verizon network.
I have the same issue and I have Sprint. It turns on then won't let me turn it off. Usually I restart my phone. Same with chat not working or android auto not working.

Firmware problem on GALAXY SM-A105G

I'd start by asking him what he actually did, because no amount of game downloading will do that so if he says that's all he did he is lying. Of course he might have just done something stupid like accepted a system update then turned the phone off while it was part way through installing, but knowing what he did will help with identifying a solution.

You could try booting into recovery mode and wiping the system cache. At the least it will do no harm.

The ultimate is to download the latest official software for your model (full model and variant numbers) from Sammobile.com to a computer and reflash the phone completely. As I'm not a Samsung expert I'm not really the person to talk you through that, but that should solve pretty much any firmware problem (whether it will wipe your data I don't know: on most manufacturers' devices a stock firmware flash does reset the phone).

Android phone related issue

like i said as other have said having your imei stolen, copied , or used will not allow access to your entire phone. it can only be used to clone to another phone and steal your data consumption (not to be confused with your actual personal data.....this cannot happen with just imei), it can also be used to locate the phone, but that's it.

nothing else can be done to your phone with just the imei number.
I'm pretty certain that you'd need to clone the SIM to use someone else's data allowance (and that would cause other problems, e.g. who would calls be connected to?). The reason for cloning the IMEI would be because your real one is blacklisted. Of course once detected this would result in the cloned IMEI being blacklisted too, which is why you don't want your IMEI cloned.

Note that I'm talking about GSM networks here (the vast majority worldwide). Cloning a CDMA phone would I believe let you use its allowances, but we don't have those in most countries so I'm not so familiar.

Help please help!!!

First of all thank you @ocnbrze & @svim for the reply and support
the Firmware I downloaded was successfully flashed and my device is now working fine
In case if anyone want to flash their J730GM device you must use Odin 3.13.3 & download the latest firmware from here
https://samfrew.com/download/Galaxy__J7__Pro__/ceig/INS/J730GMDXU6CSF7/J730GMODD6CSEI/
you will get 2 of CSC fils so there is a better option for anyone who dont want to loose their data even after flashing the device they must use CSC_HOME otherwise use only CSC to totally factory format and flash.
flash it, It will work like charm
