Help Seeing my SMS messages in Textra???

I am building a new phone, a Pixel 7 Pro. Things are going okay and I am about to activate it.

One issue: I just used SMS Backup & Restore to transfer my SMS messages and call log from the old phone to the new phone. Worked fine, and if I launch the default message reader, I see all of myy text messages. However, when I launch Textra, my default SMS app, I don't see any of them! What can I do to resolve this issue?

Audio problem (Voice-to-Text / audio recording)

Hi,

For about a month now, I've had a problem with my LG Velvet android phone. I had to get my screen replaced and ever since then I can no longer use to Google voice-to-text feature. It responds if I say "Okay Google" but, if I try to press the voice-to-text microphone button on either the Google search option or if I'm writing something in general. After noticing this I brought it back to a place in the mall which replaced the screen and had a new microphone installed and the problem still persists. Additionally, I just noticed that when I attempt to record a video, it doesn't record audio with it anymore. I can still make phone calls but, it seems that only certain features are affected. What could be causing this problem and what should I do to fix it as I like my phone and want to keep it?

Thanks.

Azure Portal - Cognitive Services monitoring issues

I've got a library full of documents. I would like to be able to know some more about these documents without reading through all of them. On the first page of each document I already put some relevant information about the document such as year of creation, author, number of pages and confidentiality.

I want to use some AI to browse through these documents and decide which is what and return it to me so I can store it in a CSV or something. This way I'll be able to easily find the right document.

Now, I did use LUIS and some of the TAA service of Azure's cognitive services before. But I cannot figure out a way how to accomplish this. Is it theoretically possible to send the first page (using a powershell script to cut the rest of the document

Playing a VR game in an Android emulator (specifically NoxPlayer)

I posted in a previous thread that I wanted to play the three DC Extended Universe Android games (Man Of Steel, Batman V Superman, and Justice League VR) via Nox emulator (the only Android emulator I'm able to use with no issues). I've gotten both Man Of Steel and Batman V Superman to work on there, thus the only one left to deal with is Justice League VR.

I'm able to install and get into the game. The window is split into two screens (because VR), but I can put up with that. What I need to be able to do is virtually move the device around, because that's how you control the game. For example, after the game starts and you're at the batcomputer, it says on the top left of the monitor to "Gaze To Login", then you tilt the phone/tablet until the dot in the center of the screen is within the orange login icon (I also tried this game on my real android phone. That's how I know what to do here.).

Nox normally lets you assign touchscreen/device actions to keyboard keys, but for some weird reason, it won't let me do that for this game. And nothing I do with my mouse seems to accomplish anything. I'd really like to get the game to work so I can complete the game series, so if any of you can help me with this I'd greatly appreciate it...

USFL

I didn't watch any of the USFL games last year. I saw their commercial the other night... for real football :) I guess it kicks off April 15th. I have no idea what rules they play by. I gather there are eight teams with two divisions. Depending on when they palay I might watch a game or two. Before watching my thought is why to wannabe leagues. Combine XFL and USFL and play it their season at the end of basketball and the beginning of baseball.

I grabbed this off the net:

The new season kicks off on April 15, and each of the four host cities — Detroit, Memphis, Canton, Ohio and Birmingham, Alabama — will have games within the first three weeks. Through the 10-week regular season, each of the USFL’s eight teams will play division rivals twice and teams of the opposite division once.

Messenger notifications help please

I have a new to me galaxy tab active 2 which I have been busy setting up to meet my needs.
I am not as savvy as i should be and sometimes i get my setting correct by chance and then mess them up which i have now done.
At 1st when i would receive a fb messenger notification it would show up on an home screen looking like a chat head of the person but a hair smaller and keep in mind chat heads were turned off,
So if i clicked on that chat head a small window would open showing the message thread with that person which had the option to open it full screen close it or leave it small, I liked this but some way I messed it up it's gone now anyone know what it was and how to get it back? and no, this was different to the chat heads toggle feature in messeger settings.
Many thanks.

Help Whatsapp: Can't restore backup on new phone

Hello. URGENT. I have a new Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra and I can't get Whatsapp to transfer my chats from the old phone: Samsung Galaxy S20fe. I've tried everything.

I've tried backing up the old phone, and it doesn't do a complete backup: only 828MB when it should be about 1.4GB. I then install Whatsapp on the new phone, obtain the six digit code from the old phone, enter my phone number, then password.

After that, Whatsapp opens, but with only 32MB of chats from the past few days, not my (incomplete) backed up database. Also, after I enter my phone number and six digit code, Whatsapp goes straight to the list of chats. My phone doesn't show the additional screens: the option for Whatsapp to access contacts and media; and also, Backup found and option to restore it from Google Drive.

I spent two hours with a nice, knowledgeable guy in the T-Mobile store yesterday. He couldn't solve the problem. I have to return the old phone within the next two days or I lose my $800 credit on the new phone. Help! Thank you.

Electricity Options

Need some advice :
So, every summer I set up my inflatable hot tub on my outdoor patio, which has no electric outlets. I have a GFCI outlet on the front wall of the house, which I run a long 75 ft outdoor extension cord along the side of the house, around to the hot tub.
Always works well, never trips the breaker.
I had an electrician come out to quote me a price to install an outlet on the patio, $450....
Im thinking to just using the extension cord.
Thoughts?

Slow downloads, Galaxy Note 8

1. Android
2. Galaxy Note 8 (SM-950U)
3. Software version - (9.0)
4. Specifics of the problem - downloading photos from Adobe's Lightroom Mobile Cloud super slow, ONLY ON THIS DEVICE.
5. NOT rooted

My internet speed is about 50 Mbps, tested on multiple devices, including this Galaxy Note 8 phone. I'm experiencing slow downloads to local storage (SD with 250GB free space) from Adobe's Cloud in Lightroom Mobile app. I've had the same issue when downloading photos from Dropbox to this phone. All other apps work fine, for example Kindle downloads or streaming videos, no issue.
On my Note 8, it takes over 8 minutes to download 50 photos (Lightroom's "smart previews" with longest edge 2550 pixels). The same exact 50 photos took less than 25 seconds on my Galaxy Tab a7 lite & on Bluestacks.
I've tested the Note 8 using ethernet & USB-C dongle & Wi-Fi, same results. I don't have good cellular access in this location, so have not tried mobile data.
I've posted on Adobe's forum and on a Lightroom forum and no one has a solution, so thought I'd ask here.

Thanks

Help How to transfer an APP from A51 to A52 or A53?

There's a nice app[ called "PLT Hub" which is on my A51, and it is no longer available in the Play Store. Using Syncios Transfer, have backed up all apps from the A51 to my Mac. BUT the apps convert from a name to folder listings with a bizarre code, similar to hex.

Using Android File Transfer, there's no folder called Applications.

I know that one can download "apk" from websites, but that doesn't always work

I know it make not operate if transferred, but how does one transfer a single App from one phone to another?

Thanks.

Potential Power Saving Interference

Hi All,

I'm having an issue with my S21 (android 13).

I am using an app that gives redeemable points for the kilometers I drive with the phone faced down (FaceItDown - By Toyota).
In my old phone S8+ I had no issues, but with my S21 it frequently reports extremely low distance traveled.
I did a test using both phones on a a drive, the S8+ says 53Km, the S21 says 3Km!

I tried contacting the developer, bu go no response.

I am assuming it is a power saving measure, but have not been able to pin it down.
So far I have tried
- Switching off Power saving
- Turning off Limit apps and Home Screen
- Turning off adaptive battery
- Including FaceItDown in never sleeping apps


Any suggestions would be welcome.

I have timed the app and it seems to behave okay for durations less than 15 minutes.

Thank you,
V.

Duplicate contacts problem...

Hi. I have a Moto E6 phone with Android version 9. I inadvertently imported a second set of contacts into my phone. The phone app only shows one set of contacts, bu the contacts app shows the duplicates. I want to merge or safely remove the duplicates.

Online I see lots of articles telling me to use the merge option in the contacts app, but there is no merge option. I thought about just deleting the duplicates, but I was concerned about if this was safe. Part of my concern is that I have not just used the contacts phone numbers for calling people, but also for texting, and I was concerned that somehow if I deleted a duplicate contact that I had used to text with (the original contact that existed before I imported the duplicate), that the texts that I had created with that contact's number would be deleted as well.

As you can tell, there is a lot I don't understand about my phone, and would really appreciate any help I can get.

Thanks.

Stuck at boot-loop Cat s62 pro

I have a Cat S62 Pro.
After the battery ran out of juice following happens:

As soon I start to charge the phone its start too boot. However at that point the phone isnt charged enough to complete a boot so it runs out of energy, shuts down and then try boot again shortly after.

I´ve tried to unplug it and to start it myself in order to completly run the device out of energy.
However same problem, same loop starts as soon as I charge.

Leaving it connected with a charger doesnt help. It has been charged the whole night, just keep depleting the litte energy it has by trying to boot to early.

What to do?

How hard is it to take pics with a wallet case for Samsung S23 Ultra?

How hard is it to take pics with a wallet case for Samsung S23 Ultra or other cell phones for that matter?

It seems like for landscapes etc when open the front cover would get in the way. What experiences do the wallet owners have when shooting pics with a wallet style case. I recall years ago when I last had a wallet case it got in the way a lot... by that I mean when shooting how you hold it properly etc.

Occupation of vulcan in mexico

I read an article today about a deep sea port . It involved Vulcan materials , a birmingham alabama company . It said the Mexican military had occupied the companies property . They claimed Vulcan did not have necessary permits . What is going on with that ? It also said the Mexican military was still occupying the property . That was on the 14 th of March.
