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

Screen protector tempered glass best fit 9H?

im looking for one of the one side sticky tempered glass screen protectors not the thin film type.

Supershieldz is a common brand are they the exact size of the phone screen protector and not smaller. Im looking for one that is exact fit for a motorola g power 2021.

I believe this one i had photos is the .5-1mm or so thick 9H tempered glass screen protectors can anyone confirm.

It feels real sturdy and durable i watched a video a guy installing a supershieldz not sure if same as this kind and it fit perfect.

Can anyone confirm which screen protectors work the best and wont allow the phone to shatter when dropped or shatter the phone installing/removing?

Take a look at the photos and tell me what you think that specific screen protector brand is. Im looking for one for my g power 2021.

Help Andoids Seeing Hidden SSIDs

Hello World!

I'm in a bit of a quandary. I'm a network engineer for a collage and they're telling me that some brand new Android phones and tablets are able to see one of the hidden SSID networks that we use. This leads to students getting confused when they can't connect to it. This only happens with Androids. Not all androids, seems like the newer gen gear. Not happening on Apple or Windows based devices.

I've done numerous packet captures, and reviewed all the settings I can think of on our Wireless LAN Controller. How are these Androids able to see Hidden SSIDs out of the box? Any input would be helpful.

Thanks,
JB

Blu J5L G5 C5L2020 A5L Studio x5

I was looking into back up or a spare phone.

Does anyone have experience with the Blue J5L 1gb 32gb storage? Seems like a nice phone and can be bought unlocked new on ebay for 40-50$

How about the G5, C5L 2020, A5L and studio X5 i read was a good compact phone.

Alot of the reviews of these phones say they crash and are slow to process.

Im looking into a smaller 4g VoLTE phone unlocked compatible with t-mobile or other 4g gsm network.

If anyone has tried these blu phones for around 40-70$ please let me know.

If only the g power 2021 was 1.5" shorter it would be an awesome compact phone and pocket friendly.

If these blu phones besides the G50 and V50 100$ range are know to crash or slow processing i may not be interested.

Also what is the go edition of android 10 and are the phones on amazon or Ebay international models. I read somewhere that certain carriers wouldn't register international model imei.

Ebay told me the blade A31 plus was t-mobile compatible and 4g VoLTE. The A31 Lite blade wasn't for use with t-mobile anymore.

Some advice please

My wife has a couple of Fossil smart watches. They use wear and are Bluetooth only. The watch and her phone, a galaxy s10e, are both connected to WiFi when at work and home.
She has on occasion, left her phone in work but because the phone is connected to WiFi in work and her watch to our WiFi at home, she has still managed to receive texts, WhatsApp and emails on her watch in the house.
She bought a Samsung galaxy watch 4 last week and it seems that when out of blue tooth range no messages or emails are delivered to the watch.
With the galaxy watch 4 being so much newer than her fossil watches, this seems a backwards step.
Anyone with a galaxy watch 4 with Bluetooth watch able to receive messages when out of Bluetooth range.
I am hoping it is some setting I have missed.
Cheers.

You Tube username changed.

I noticed just now after posting a comment to a regular channel I follow, that my Google account / email name I had changed to a 7 letter username 2 years ago for anonymity (I write nice useful comments) now has 4 numbers added to the end. For example if it were Tomahawk it would now be Tomahawk8647.

Looking at the comment notification history, (only those that had a like, quote or reply are the only past comments I can bring up), now all my comments have the new extended name,

I thought I was lucky originally that no one else was using the 7 letter word made up of three car brands.

Anyone hear of this?

How to avoid redundancy in MipMap For Locale

I have to use different mipmap based on locale of user. But some of them are same. Example, en_US and en_GB need same launcher icons but en_IN needs different. I know the way is to create multiple mipmaps (anydpi-v26,mdpi,hdpi,xhdpi,xxhdpi,xxxhdpi - for resolution purpose) for each local Ex: mipmap-b+en+IN-anydpi-v26, mipmap-b+en+US-anydpi-v26, mipmap-b+en+GB-anydpi-v26 etc and multiply by 6 times for all resolutions. But since US and GB need same resource, how to avoid this redundancy?
