Deleted wifi connection

Hi everybody. I'm using an android 10 phone. I deleted some wifi connections, now I need to restore one of them. Since random mac adress is activated, each time my phone gets a new mac adress when I connect to a wifi. I need to connect with my old mac adress which was created randomly. Is it possible to restore the connection or find the old mac adress for that connection. In other words, I can connect to wifi, there is no problem with that. My problem is, the old connection's mac address had priority. I was able to use internet without limitations, now new connection has a new mac addres and I have no priority. No I cant get privillage to my new mac address, no I dont have access to modem's settings if I could, I would define my new mac address as privillage.Thank you all.

Help Can't move apps to SD card

I've been following the instructions for moving apps to the SD card to free up space, but there are no options for changing storage location. Not grayed out -- there are no options at all. I tried a third party app that took me to the same screens, so no help there, but it did identify 10 apps as movable. My SD card seems to be working normally. I can move photos to there, but they don't take up much space.

Most of the used internal storage is the Android system and the apps (about 6-7 GB each). Clearing the caches and user data helps get a bit of space, but not much.

Help Go to date calendar feature

Just got my first samsung phone, always had LG smartphones, last one a V40. Every calendar app on LG had a go-to-date feature which made going to a specific date easy and quick. Not present on the stock calendar on the S21 nor in google calendar. Such an obvious feature to include. Does anyone know of a calendar app which has this feature?

Recover Data from Several Android Phones with broken screens

I was in Spain doing an extended hike over 2 months. During that time I m managed to break 4 phones. They appear to be damaged primarily on the display as they all seem to work to some degree e.g. alarms come on when they are powered. Unfotrtunately none of them are set to Android remote control as I bought them while hiking and did not have the time to set this up. They have never been on my home network or had a sim card from my country. I was hoping to use a USB hub with HDMI to access them using an external mouse, keyboard and monitor, but I tried this on one and nothing much happened. What can I do? The devices include a Huawei P20 Pro, and Redmi Note 10C, a cheap Realme phone. All were Android. Thanks

32 or 64 Micro Sd card

I purchased a onn. 32gb micro sd card for phone storage from walmart for 7.98$ and a 64gb micro sd card sandisk for 11.99$

It says the sandisk 64gb is150 mb/s and the onn. 32gb is 100mb/s.

Which one is better to use?

Its for saving photos, videos on my g power 2021 3gb 32gb.

It says sandisk is number 1 selling brand for micro sd cards and ultra plus micro SDCX UHS-1 for better pictures and full hd video.

Im not sure what the CX UHS-1 is means vs the keep onn. microSDHC full hd video.

Does it look like the 32gb says "Full HD video" will be just as good as the 64gb sandisk which also says full hd video.

What do yall guys use? I attached a photo of both products which is better to use?

I really only need one which one is the better one to use i can return the other one.

I think 32gb is enough but you never know 64gb videos may be long.

The thing is my old quest 5 use to take 400kb pictures im sure and this g power 2021 takes bigger pictures in the mb 2-3mb 1.5mb stuff of that sort better quality videos.

Can you guys direct me in the right direction the sandisk or 32gb micro sd card for my g power 2021.

Unlock phone options

I have found that you can set either a pin or a password or a pattern to unlock phone. You can also set Fingerprint unlock. If the fingerprint does not work (as is often the case) it defaults back to whatever (pin, password or pattern) you have assigned.

Now, for a number of reasons, I am reluctant to use fingerprint unlock. I logically assumed that I could set up both a pin and a pattern and if the pattern failed for some reason, it would default back to the pin. It seems that this is not possible so if the pattern doesn't work, you have to go through an elaborate process to reset unlock method.

My question is: Is it possible to set up a pin and a pattern at the same time and use either to unlock phone or use pin if the pattern fails?

App Icon Needs Identifying

Please can someone tell me what the two app icons are? Before anyone thinks i’m some crazy person with someone else’s phone it is a screenshot from my work phone, my manager noticed the icons on the screenshot I sent her and keeps asking what the apps are but I have not got a clue, she asked days after I sent the screenshot so I’ve cleared it since then

Fix spelling of name on talk to text

Help! Does anyone know how to change the spelling of names when talking to your phone for a text? I use the microphone to send a text and if I say my daughter's name Addyson or my friends name Ethen, the phone always spells them Addison and Ethan as if I do not know the spelling. I have been down the rabbit hole on Edge and Google hoping I might find an answer using a different search engine but to no avail. Please if anyone knows how to fix this. I have put in a phonetic name under contracts. I cannot seem to find a dictionary or suggested words section under the phone menu anywhere. Thanks in advance.

Is there really no way to simply remove the search bar on Android 11

Hi,

I've bought a Cat S62 Pro phone and I keep getting more annoyed and frustrated by the searchbar on the home screen. It opens when I don't want it to, it keeps asking for permissions when I accidentally tap it and it's just a big waste of space. I've tried using the searchbar on my Nokia 6, Nokia 8.1 and Huawei P10 but I kept removing it in the long run because it sucks.

I haven't found a way to remove it on the S62 so far. The best I can do is disable it by disabling the "Google" app completely. But this just leaves a dead searchbar on my screen.

Crap search bar.jpg Dead search bar.jpg

You can hide the dead spot with a custom launcher like Nova or Lawnchair. Installing something that drains more battery and leaves you with even more unwanted crap on your phone just feels wrong.

I've found thousands and thousands of forum post of and crappy tutorials about removing the search bar. Has Google or Cat(?) really made it 100% impossible to simply remove the searchbar? If so, who and where do I start complaining?

Thanks for reading,

Koen.

Help Samsung A32 and A13 cons?

I am using Samsung Note8 and it is faulty so I am thinking of buying a A32 (or A13) as a replacement to immediately use now.

What are the cons?

Would I need to have more stable hands to take clear photos? (I guess Note8 has better stabilization specs)

I intend wait for S23 Ultra or S24 Ultra or S25 Ultra when it has symmetrical head and chin bezel.

Thanks.

Tracfone prepaid 1 year of service

Has anyone heard of this? Tracfone thru their ebay store sells the phone at a really discounted price of course itll be locked to tracfone with a 1 year prepaid service plan of 1500 minutes, 1500 texts, 1500mb. This would be a good deal for someone that really just needs an emergency cell phone.

Theyre around 50-80$ depending which phone you get and am wondering if tracfone can unlock it?
I had asked if they sold the plan itself 1 year 1500 minutes, 1500 texts, 1500mb to renew it next year never got a response.

Ive seen they sell 30$ 90 day 120 minutes, 120 texts, 120mb at the local dollar general to refill your tracfone service.

Tracfone TCL A3 + 1 Year of Service with 1500 MIN/1500 Text/1500MB | eBay

https://www.ebay.com/itm/325430748938

I see they do have a 1 year service plan prepaid but is expensive 80$
TracFone 1 Year Service Plan - 365 Days + 2000 Minutes/ 2000 Text/ 2000 Data. | eBay



Boost i think has the best prepaid 100$ 1 year service plan unlimited talk,text 2gb data monthly and can use it with one of the discounted boost locked phone from walmart the tcl20xe for 40$ or g pure for 50$.

Safety data sheet problem on play store

I have uploaded a game made in unity which uses unity ads to the play store. I do not gather any data myself but Unity ads supposedly only gather past purchase history data so I selected that on the safety data sheet and submitted to review and they gave me the following:
Issue details

We found an issue in the following area(s):

  • SPLIT_BUNDLE 2: Policy Declaration - Data Safety Section: Device Or Other IDs Data Type - Device Or Other IDs (some common examples may include Advertising ID, Android ID, IMEI, BSSID, MAC address)

  • Does anyone have any idea what I’m doing wrong please? I’m not sure if it’s something to do with packages I’ve got included in the unity project that I’m not actually using
