I've checked with local AT&T store where I bought my phone about 2 years ago. The guy there has not seen or heard of this before.
I get a spam text message (see attached screen clip) when I turn on my phone. Not always, not every day, but more often than not, sometimes 3-4 times a day. I cannot proceed without canceling the message. The message does not show in call logs or text message logs. Phone numbers on message listed change each time. ANNOYING AS HELL. I cannot figure out how to block it or stop it. I do not what to call either number in the message....it will just put me on an active number list and I'll get more messages. AT&T guy said to call the number and ask to be removed from call list. lol Like that will do any good. My number has been on NO-CALL list since I got it and I still get spam calls.
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi. Is there anyway to enable android auto on p40 Lite? Currently installed with EMUI 12, model is JNY-LX1

Hi I have a Samsung a52s which I love.
But decided I would like to buy a bigger phone. Maybe a S22 plus or S23.
Then at the end of my contract I will just go pay as you sim, which will be much cheaper.
I know I will still have to pay my contract till it ends.

My questions are...
Will EE know I have put my sim in another phone not theirs?
Also can I sell my A52 even though am still under contract?
As will still be paying monthly to EE until contract ends?

Will my phone carrier know and notify me if I switch my SIM card to another phone?

Hello,

I have a Android 11 cell phone. If I plug a USB cable into my phone, there is no sound coming from the phone. But if I plug earbuds into the phone, I can hear sound coming from the phone. Why or how is the USB cable interferring with the sound?

Thank you.

Note that the described tinting effect is IMO, and based on my eagle eye and 30+ years experience in the field neither caused by the color of the backlight LEDs (as one would immediately think from seeing the snapshots; I know backlight color variations ... this clearly isn’t one), nor as the colleague below presumed, the panel lamination glue.

Question to Android developers who are familiar with Display Color Profiles/CLUTs and output filters (if such exist):

Already owning an Alldocube kPad and iPlay 20s, which I'm highly satisfied with, I recently purchased 8 pcs. of Alldocube’s new iPlay 50 via AliExpress (excellent deal: each 2 pcs. for a total of USD 225 delivered). The hardware built quality is as with the previous models excellent, but the display on the iPlay 50 has a major problem:

When placing the iPlay 50 next to the excellent kPad and iPlay 20s one notices that

1. the colors are completely off and have a greenish tint
   
   
2. an artificial contrast enhancement/image sharpening effect is obviously applied, which adds an annoying and disturbing halo effect to detailed areas and edges where dark colors adjoins lighter color (e.g. black against medium grey).

Both effects are globally, so not limited to a specific app or screen area.

Unfortunately the effect is very difficult to capture in photos, attached below are my best efforts (the chinese comments are meant for Alldocube’s Customer Support, which isn't very supportive on this issue, although it would be in their best interest).

In my opinion it is not a hardware (LCD panel), but rather a software issue, thus should be easily fixable by their software engineers. Note that it is NOT POSSIBLE to correct these problems through Android’s Settings > Display > Contrast & Colors! The greenish tint remains, and so do the artifacts of the unwanted, unnecessary sharpening. Greenish tint also isn’t affected by Material You.

Any suggestions or ideas how to fix this? Because if I can’t fix it, I'll have to return those tablets, which would be real pity, as the tablet as such with its laminated 2.000*1.200px 10.4" IPS panel is an excellent bargain.

I registered a new Google account on the new Xiaomi Poco M4 Pro 4G. How do I log out of the account or how do I set up or activate or add the Google account on Poco that I had on the old Xperia to get all data/chats from WhatsApp to Poco?

Or can the desired account in WhatsApp on Poco be selected after installing WhatsApp when WhatsApp asks when you start it for the first time whether the chats / data would be taken over from the old WhatsApp?

I am trying to figure where pictures are and why the LG phone puts them in different places. Some pictures are in folders in Gallery while others are in folders in DCIM->Camera. This "random" storing is true both for pictures that are saved to internal storage and pictures saved on the SD card.

And some folders I can't find anywhere e.g. Screenshots folder - on the camera it shows it as being in internal storage but when I connect the phone to my computer I can't find it.

Update: This just got even more confusing - I just found Screenshots folder in Pictures (internal storage). There isn't anything else in Pictures folder except the screenshots.

I would like to introduce "POI-2-NAV" - "ONE POI-database for ALL Nav-Apps" to you.

POI-2-NAV - an app that lets you save your Points of Interest (POIs) in an offline database and use them on any navigation app!
With POI-2-NAV, you no longer have to worry about which navigation app your POIs will work on - you can use any navigation app with POI-2-NAV.

Easily import your POIs via sharing from Google Maps or other apps, by importing a KML- or GPX-file, or manually.
Instead of launching a Navigation app, looking for and selecting a POI, and then beginning to navigate, "POI-2-NAV" puts your locations first: open "POI-2-NAV", select your POI, and then choose the most appropriate navigation tool via "POI-2-NAV".
So you might use TomTom or Sygic for driving, but prefer OsmAnd or Locus Maps for hiking or cycling.

Are you planning a long trip with multiple stops? Have you forgotten where your car is parked?
Import and save your personal POIs, create your own database, and always carry your favorite destinations with you - ready to navigate to!

With POI-2-NAV, your POIs are always with you, no matter which app you choose.
Get ready to navigate with ease - start using POI-2-NAV today!

I would be very grateful for any feedback and ideas for improvement.

You can download POI-2-NAV from Google Play Store

Thanks!

I'm trying to transfer files from my Android A52-5G to my Linux (Ubuntu 22.04) computer. I plug the phone into a USB port and the computer finds the phone no problem and correctly identifies it. As soon as I activate USB Tethering on the computer the phone immediately disappears from the device list. How do I transfer files from the phone to the computer?

My first post. Hoping someone can help me.
I am staying at a Marriott Fairfield Inn. When I click on the Fairfield wifi network I am supposed to be directed to the Fairfield login page to allow for the connection to be confirmed. Unfortunately I get a "DNS Failure" message. The front desk transferred me to a "help desk" which o think is a 3rd party computer help company. The tech tried everything she could but nothing worked. My Pixel 6 phone and my wife's iPhone X connected without issue.
I have turned off my VPN, cleared chrome cache, restarted multiple times to no avail.
This is very frustrating!
Any ideas would be appreciated!!

Hi All

I have a Metro PCS Moto G phone and been trying to find out how to LOCK my icons on my screen as I accidentally removed a folder earlier and had to re-put all my icons back into the folder.

I know on my wife's Samsung tablet we can lock her icons but could not find a setting like that on my Moto G. Where can I find this is is there a free app that will just simple let me lock my icons onto the home page so I don't accidentally remove the icon?

Thanks

My wife has an Oppo A54s, if it were to run out of power completely or she switches it off, when it is re-started, the phone, it asks her to change the PUK code, she has to do this before she can use the phone again This has happened from day one, so not sure if a setting needs changing. Also not very secure as anyone could pick up the phone, power it off, re-start, change the PUK and start using it.
Any help would be appreciated.

I have my file explorer, my control pannel, screen shot saver, disc defrager, easy cut and past screen shot twice on it, sandwich with wpm, Deep L language translator (I am getty way better in Spanish..) Smare defrag seven, and wps..

I have an app named "call" on my phone. I can't remove it and it has a TON of permissions I don't see why it needs. Anyone hear of this? Spyware?

I get a lot of ads on my phone (see below). How can I prevent this?

Hello everyone
I appreciate that this might have been posted before, but I cannot locate about 5 important photos of a document. I've checked all the apps, trash and cloud backups, they seem to have dissapeared. Can anyone help please?
Many thanks

Hi, I am trying to create an app for local machine translation. I have a GUI for it. I need to embed a QT desktop project as a library in order to use some functionalities of that project.

For now I just have one Qt C++ file in order to check if running Qt files in Android Studio is even possible but I keep getting errors. I was wondering if anyone could help me with this. Thanks!

Hey all. I've been getting bothered by my Pixel 5a to upgrade to Android 13 for a while now and am getting sick of it. I understand it's for security and bugs, but i know from experience that updates always cause phones to run slower, if not cause more problems with apps or features.

I'm willing to try to upgrade to it, but i'd like to make a full/complete backup with a service/application that can preferably take a full image backup that can be restored if needed.

I'm looking for something similar to Clonezilla for laptops/desktops that can take a full image backup that can be restored fully as if nothing changed.

Does anybody know any options for full android image backups, or at least the next closest thing to that to restore the phone from a backup?

Hello,
I'm looking for an SMS/MMS app that would allow me to somehow group about 20 contacts and then assign every single one of those contacts the same notification sound without having to change each contacts notification sound every single time I'm on-call.

Scenario: We have about 15 servers at work (and I have 5 coworkers on my team) that will send a message to [phone number]@[carrier].com when something breaks. At the end of my on-call period, I want to be able to either silence or change the notification sound on all of those contacts (or possibly the group....if that's possible to assign to a group) in one fell swoop without having to go into every single contact record and making 20 different changes.

I'm not referring to a group message....our pages/texts don't work like that. Each server is configured to send a text/page to our company Outlook group which sends it to 7 addresses everyone in our group all the time. When I'm not on call, I'd like to silence the pages from those 20 servers (or at least change the notification sound to something that isn't loud and annoying). I'm referring to assigning each contact to a group so that I can change the notification once. When I get a page from one server, it comes from [server name]@[organization domain]. I might not have a server page me for a full year whereas another server might page/text me a few times a week.

Are there any SMS/MMS apps out there that allows me to change a notification on a group of contacts all at once? I use a Galaxy S22+ and the standard Messages app doesn't allow me to set it up this way as far as I can tell. I'm even willing to pay a few bucks for an app that will allow me to put contacts into a group and manage notifications on the group all at once.

Thanks,
John
