Dual SIM: which SIM is called?

Hello,
I have a HTC U11 with 2 SIM cards, one for private, the other for business purposes.

When I receive a call and the caller is not in my phone book, I cannot see which SIM is called, so I cannot see if it's a business or private call.

How can I fix this? For example by applying different background colors when the phone rings, depending on the SIM card.

Well, of course I could assign a different ring tone to each of the SIM cards, but unfortunately that's no solution, because most of the time my phone is in vibration mode.

How to remove water from underneath broken S7 Edge front glass?

I happened to break my S7 Edge's front glass about 2-3 months ago. And about a week ago I had forgetfully left it in an open area where it rained a little bit and some water fell on it. I simply wiped the water with a piece of cloth.

It is only today that I notice some water underneath the broken areas (at the back button). I tried to put it in the sun, but to no avail.

How can I get rid of the water?

Bluetooth Alarm Clock App

I am trying to create a Bluetooth alarm clock and I'm using Arduino as my receiver to make what I need to happen when the alarm goes off, but I'm having trouble getting it to work. I have tried merging an Android alarm clock app and an Arduino Bluetooth LED Controller app together and I have tried to find an already completed Bluetooth Alarm Clock app for Arduino, but have had no luck so far. I found a complete bluetooth alarm clock app here but can't figure out how to use it and I don't know enough about how it works to figure it out. Please let me know if you know of any existing apps or what I'm doing wrong. I can upload what I have for the first solution if I need to.

Any way to completely back up a Samsung J327A running Android 7.0?

Hi All,

I have a new Samsung J327A, replacing one I previously owned that had a very badly cracked screen. It is currently running Android 7.0. On my older J327A, I always said "yes" to accept and install updates. At some point it updated to the latest Android for that phone (8.0)? This update had a newer version of Google Maps that crashed frequently, and introduced the split screen feature which I could not disable. This feature does not work well on phones with smaller screens such as mine.

I'm asking if there's a way to completely back up my current phone? E.g. I want to see what updates need to be applied, but would want a way to completely restore the phone to what it's running now, in case any update brings back the problems mentioned above.

Thank you,
Fred.

Emails in outbox

My problem was, in my Samsung S2, Gmail stuck in outbox.
Problem fixed: When Samsung muscled and grab from Google (Gmail) and asked me to change
my pass word and all the other questions, my tablet created new files inside Gmail icon (domain).
Tried every thing, nothing worked. Final I noted there were few too many Gmail files inside the mail icon.
All the best

''Error Type 3'' Activity Class {...} Not Found

Hi, every project I try to launch on my phone triggers the same error

-Error happens even on first install of the app on the phone..
-Error happens with any project at any point
-Yes, I tried to Clean, Rebuild, Invalidate and Restart and also manually delete the app on the phone
-Yes I tried adb kill and start

I think the error might be related to the phone and not my code as it's a sample blank code.
Any clue? Cant get to run anything at all....


Code:
04/17 15:18:59: Launching app
$ adb shell am start -n "com.example.hellonothing/com.example.hellonothing.MainActivity" -a android.intent.action.MAIN -c android.intent.category.LAUNCHER

A Discouraging Article about LG

I am sorry to say that I just read an article in Computerland about LG. According to this article, I seemed to have picked a phone whose manufacturer is as bad with updates as my previous one, HTC. Its says they are horrendous about keeping stated upgrade dates. And unfortunately, they have backed it up with our phone. If interested, you can read the article at:

GamerROM Is Shutting Down For the GALAXY S4!

On May 1st 2019 i will be discontinuing GamerROM ROMS for the Samsung GALAXY S4

Last year i discontinued GamerROM Development for the S4 to work on newer devices, however over the year i noticed Samsung do shadey stuff so it caused the ROMS to have problems with the phone.

I moved on the S7 hoping to build my OS on there but was a failure just over having a none unlockable phone.


Recently i purchased a Nexus 6 to hope my work grows, and ive succeeded in rooting, upgrading and decrypting my nexus 6.


The most reason were doing this is because our cloud storage on MEGA is getting too low for our new projects and we have to sacrafice storage...now i understand i could just make another account but unfortunately wouldnt be good since we have to consistantly log out and log in back and forth.


So if you have a S4 i would backup the files you have and also download and back up the roms from mega before May 1st, 2019 as i will no longer host or build roms for the s4

I give full permission to share any roms made by me as long you give credit where credit is due!

One photo that I can not delete

I've tried everything I can think of. I click the delete icon and it does nothing, I can't move it to another folder it says "network error occured". It no longer appears in the "My Files" application. I'm not synced with Picasa. When I try to edit it, it says "Couldn't download image. Try again." The icon in the top left corner when I select it is the cloud with a check mark. I just now, to be absolutely sure, went to the picture itself and tapped the three dots in the corner of the screen. It gave me the option to download. I tapped that and it didn't appear to do anything. It did appear in the "My Files" app again, but it doesn't matter because I selected it and tapped delete and it still remains in my gallery. If this helps, it's stuck in my downloads album.

Sound not playing at all in Sony Xperia XZ

Hi everyone, I have a Sony Xperia XZ which is already a few months old. A couple of days ago it fell from my hand on the ground and no physical damage could be seen. However, no sound can be produced at all, even with headphones. And even more strange, when I start a call the phone completely glitches out, doesn't respond and can't be turned off at all for something like 50 seconds. Is there something that can be done? I absolutely don't think Sony will get me a new one because it was my fault and obviously they don't have any responsibility. Does anyone have any advice? Thank you!

Help Location in Googfle Maps

Is it possible to tell Google Maps a location other than my present location from which to show information ? Often I want to look at things happening in areas of the city near where I live, even though my prsent location where I live is 20 miles northeast of the areas of the city in which I am interested.

If it is not possible with Google Maps does anybody know of an equivalent app in the Google Play Store which does allow me to set a location for the current map and things hsppening other than my current location ?

Samsung Note 4 lock screen is timing out too fast

Samsung Note 4, recently upgraded to lollipop

Two problems. First, when my phone is locked, I do not have enough time to enter in my back up password. Power saving features are turned off. Smart stay is turned on. No new apps added recently that might impact that. (No new apps that I remember since Lollipop installed) ringtone download

Second, when I am in my phone and pull down the notification bar, within a couple of seconds the screen goes black, and I am locked out of the phone and have to sign in again. This is occurs every time I take a bit too long to look at my notifications. If I just glance and minimize it, no problems, samsung ringtone

Both of these problems are new since Lollipop.
