Can anyone help me re no ringtones sounding on incoming phone calls. I have a Motorola E6 and have tried and checked all the obvious things like:-
1. Do not disturb
2. Airplane mode
3. Bluetooth
4. Replacing ringtone with another one
5. Checked all the volume sliders on Sound settings etc.
6. I even replaced my Phone Dialling app (called Should I answer) with another app but makes no difference

When I tried a test call from my landline phone, the Android just pings once as a notification so the call is obviously reaching the mobile !

I don't really want to do a factory reset as I worry about losing all data.....would I have to reinstall all apps after a factory reset ???

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Is there a way to set up popup push notifications?

I'm trying to get a Telegram account on this phone. I already have one but because of the crazy way they do things I have to get a code sent to another phone and type that into the one where I want it. I borrowed a friend's phone and tried to get it that way. It didn't work and sms didn't either. It also said that if I waited a little while I could ask for an actual phone call. I did that but still no luck. Is there some other way?

Hi all,

These are the specs of my old phone and as you can see it uses a "Mini-SIM" Card

I need to buy a new phone and all of the new phones use a "Nano-SIM" card.

How can I take my old SIM card to the new phone without destroying the SIM card? Is it possible for the data on the old phone's SIM card to be kept intact?

I know e-SIM cards are available but that may not be an option for me.

Thanks for any help!!!

Hi I'm not very good on my phone and I need to back up some files, including 8000 or so recorded calls, which I must not lose. It's a Huawei 20x 5G. It is absolutely stuffed full of really important stuff including the phone calls which I cannot lose, but if I try to back up to Google Drive it will only let me back up 40 or so at a time and it takes hours upon hours. I have in the past managed to put things onto a USB pendrive but the USB port is dodgy and it doesn't always transfer over. If the port breaks then I can't do anything at all obviously as I can't charge it. what is going to be the easiest quickest way for me to get copies of all this stuff? I'm terrified of doing something wrong trying to sort it ! Sorry to sound so totally daft.

I'll be in the office during it.
I'm in south east Michigan so not sure how much I'll actually be able to see...

So I have been searching for some time, and was wondering if there was a free music player, can download from my android and have all types of supported files though?

Has anyone watched this yet on Netflix?
I watched the entire 8 episode season and it held my interest...
Has a few Game of Thrones actors in it...

Which smartphones brands has the manufacturer not turned off the "Display over other apps" by default in budget android phones running on Android 10,11,12,13 Go editions as is the case with most Nokia android phones?

Hi,

I am trying to get this app on my android phone, which I have been advised will remotely control my Canon camcorder.
I get the impression it has been removed from the Playstore. There is an app of that name listed, but it is not from PIXELA I think.

Has anyone here any experience of downloading this PIXELA app recently?

Hello,

I want to mirror my Samsung phone to my PC monitor (so the phone screen appears on PC monitor) so I can edit [Notepad Free] app notes using my PC keyboard and mouse and copy text from [Notepad Free] app to my PC (e.g. microsoft word in PC) or vice versa.

What is the best way to do it?

Thanks

What is the use of the Android Data folder. I just read that it's a folder for data to run the apps. I thought each app had its own data/cache area. Is this different.

Can the info that's in the Android/Data folder be erased safely or no.

Hope this is easy. I'm currently using Secure Folder to store app. I suspect all know the apps aren't really secure. I can swipe up on my phone to see apps, type "simplisafe" or "MyQ' in the search bar, and access the app. Yes, the person holding my phone has to know I'm using Simplisafe, but my point is, Secure Folder isn't actually secure.
Is there a n alternative to Secure Folder that actually secures my apps?

Hello, tech wizards. On my Android phone, I created a file of easily-forgotten data (in DOCX format). I used SoftMaker Textmaker app to do this. The file was not confidential, so I did not apply a password to it, and my intention was to store this file in a folder on my SD card, which I did.

Then, I created another DOCX file with the same app. This time, the information in the file WAS confidential (passwords etc.), so I applied a password to it. Later, I noticed that the non-secret file had disappeared, and in its place was a .BAK file of the same name, which, when I clicked on it, opened. I noticed that all my information showed, so I was not particularly bothered at that time. However, I noticed also that, although the other file (the one with the password) remained in this folder, next to it was an additional file of the same name, but in the .BAK format. I can open the original, protected file by clicking on it, and it can open in SoftMaker as it should). The corresponding (secret) .BAK file opens when clicked on, but (because it is password protected) nothing shows except gobbledegook. That's fine, in a way.

However, I feel quite disturbed about two things, The first is that duplicate .BAK files should have appeared at all, and without my asking for them (taking up valuable space). The second is that, though I can read all of the non-protected information that I stored in a file of my own making, that original file has totally disappeared. I should greatly have preferred to keep my two original, SoftMaker files, and not have these unwanted .BAK files show their face at all. Why should a self-created file disappear in favour of an unrequested file?

Can anyone suggest why one of my original files has disappeared, and why the .BAK files have appeared, when I never asked for them? Also, what to do to prevent this happening again, with other files I may make?

Finally, may I ask a question: if I were to delete the .BAK file that is a twin of the "secret" file, might it not cause the original file to disappear, as the other original file did? I should not like to lose all that information!

I should be very grateful if someone could enlighten me about these matters. By the way, I am aware that .BAK files are back-up files, but why should they sit there, taking up space, when I am quite confident of keeping the original files safe? It is not as if they are like short-cuts, using up only a few bytes — they are the same size as the original files!

With thanks in advance,
S.

How do i root the samsung galaxy A14

I am using an Android smartphone (which happens to be a Motorola). Because my digital organiser is on the blink, I have transferred all of the entries in it, into the Calendar app that lives in my phone. At some time next year, it will be time to replace my smartphone, and I am concerned about losing all the entries that I so laboriously copied into the Calendar. Nearly all of these are repeated tasks that, having been done, will be moved forward to the next occasion (some of which will be next week, some next month, some will be a few months into the future, and just a few will be a few years into the future).

How can these entries be saved, so that it will not be necessary to enter them all again, on a new phone? I have next to no technical knowledge, where phones are concerned.

With thanks in anticipation of some help, in simple terms,
S.

I have a new Pixel to replace my old Pixel. All has gone well except for transferring the open tabs in Edge and Chrome. All of my lookup so far suggests that as along as I'm signed into the same account in the browsers and have sync enabled and tabs selected, then they will sync.
Unfortunately this does not happen so I'm thinking that only works for computers but not phones. There are only a few in Chrome but I have a bunch open in Edge on the old phone. So far my only workaround is to go to each tabs webpage and save it to a Collection. That syncs. But with as many tabs as I have, it's going to take a very long time to do that.

So I'm hoping someone knows of a way to get the tabs to sync. Both phones are connected to my home wi-fi at 5GHz so speed or connectivity isn't an issue.

TIA,
Jonathan

Thank you for your help.

I recently saw something pop up on my phone about using my google account on the PC to do text messaging, instead of having to use the phone. Now I can't remember what it was or find it again, can anyone help?

A neighbor friend has asked me if she can hop on my wifi. She says she can help pay for wifi. I know how to enable mobile hotspot on my Samsung S9+ running Android 10. But I do have some questions:

1. Can I limit sharing to just her particular phone and block out others who she may accidentally share the hotspot password with?
2. Can I limit sharing to just a certain number of data (e.g, 2GB)
3. When I’m sharing, how can I block out my phone from downloading stuff for itself? (To enable Mobile Hotspot, I have to disable Data Saver.)
4. Can I filter certain categories (like illicit websites)? I don’t want to be responsible for other people’s usage.

I have an S23 and I'm thinking of getting the MetaQuest 3 VR headset. The only two storage options for the Quest 3 are 128 gb and 512 gb. I probably would get the 128 version.
I have one question:
Do the games, videos, etc have to be stored on the headset or would I be able to access any of them from my phone? I'm wondering because if I'm getting close to the 128 limit, would I have to delete files from the headset or can I also use them from my phone storage?

Thanks

The majority of the time no issue, but at other times hours or days pass without receiving/sending texts. Then all the texts sent to me over those hours or days all appear at once. Rebooting sometimes results in them all appearing at once.

Measures tried:

• Remove/replace SIM while phone off
• Network Reset
• Change Access Point
• Delete Google Messages Cache and Storage
• Replacement SIM

This isn't related to that I have poor cellular reception at home, since periods can't receive/send texts include times I have excellent cellular reception elsewhere, and at other times am at home having no problem receiving/sending texts over WiFi.

The phone manufacturer now suggests a Hard Factory Reset. Here seeking advice please given how much work that will be (particularly given that I have carpal tunnel).
