How Does Google Assistant Track Stocks Daily?

Somehow I set up my Google Assistant to track a particular stock symbol every day, and Google sends me the price as an Android notification once per day. How do I maintain that stock list?

Various references online suggest you need to maintain a watchlist on Google Finance. That is definitely NOT the source of the stock I am tracking. My Finance watchlist has a short list of stocks created years ago and Google Android seems to have no knowledge of that list, or at least it does not use it for daily notifications.

In "All Assistant Settings" there is a section named "Stocks" but when you enter this section there are no controls, and nothing is listed. It looks like the section has been disabled somehow.

So where in Google Assistant am I supposed to maintain a list of symbols to track daily? I am running Android 13 on Pixel 6.

32gb phone + micro sd 64-128gb expandable storage use

I have a g power 2021 3gb 32gb. For micro sd 64gb expandable memory or storage what are is its uses? Does it simply add storage to store all photos and videos and how do you setup the phone so when pictures are taken as well as videos and saved pics videos that they go directly to the micro sd card and not the phones 32gb storage capacity?

The micro sd card is only for pictures, videos and such and not for expandable 32gb+ for apps to be used on phone correct?

Im at 22gb not out of 32gb phone storage capacity with 6 extra apps installed since i bought the phone last week.

Will the micro sd card allow for more app making it a 64gb or only for photos videos etc.

And how do you set it up so all photos and videos saved on phone go to the micro sd card which i guess would be removed from phone once removing the micro sd card.

Thanks guys. Trying to figure out how to install a 32gb-64gb 8$ micro sd card from best buy to have all photos taken from phone as well as videos saved to it directly and not my phone stored files in the internal 32gb phone capacity. It leaves more room for apps.

How do I disable emergency calls in emergency mode

Hi,

My child has been making prank calls to emergency services. I have been advised to install screentime on Android to stop this happening.

Canyon is installed as the lock screen
Screentime configured

However, emergency mode allows all of this to be overrode when you press the button to turn the phone off and go into emergency mode - it reverts to the default lock screen.

I have turned the standard lock screen off all together.

Thanks.

Delete text history from contacts

I can delete my text messages from messages all day. But under contacts it still shows history and that I recently messaged someone and shows a log of messages but they have been deleted. It will let me delete calls history here but not the record of text messages. How do I find where that data is being stored and delete it. It seems to be doing it on its own because it doesn't have much past 5 or 10 days. And is there a way to remove this history button from contacts entirely?

I pressed (power button + lower volume button) again, phone only have black screen and nothing else, no led light or text logo.

Now phone is completely black no led light or text logo, no effect when I press any side buttons or home button. Tried plug in charger to phone and switch on charger also nothing happens on phone.

Please help. Thanks.

How come Im getting the default value the first time running the app?

Im following the steps laid out here for using the Settings Activity Template and despite some changes (e.g. now a root_preferences.xml file gets created instead of multiple xml files for different preference screens when selecting the Settings Activity template) I pretty much have nailed down the steps very similarly.

It says towards the end:

The first time you run the app, you should see "-1" displayed in the Toast because you haven't changed the setting yet.

However, instead of -1, Im seeing US as the toast message. Im thinking thats because its the default value, but they also set the default value as the US, yet the expectation according to the instructions is -1 the first time they run the app...how come?

Here is my code and the result Im getting first time running the app

I realize the default value is US, but their codelab default is also US, yet the codelab says it should display first time -1.

Easy Notepad Notes app

Hello all. I've emailed this website: https://applegend.net but haven't gotten a reply yet, however, I would like to transfer the files and content of their Easy Notepad Notes app on my old phone to my new phone. But even though I've done this half dozen times already, when I tried to use their Backup feature in that app on my old phone, it doesn't appear as if my content was properly saved in a folder in my old phone's My Files app. But instead of there being a saved folder in my phones My Files app, there's a grayed-out folder there. And when I click on it, it launches an error message that says that I don't have an app on my phone that opens this file. But then, when I clicked on the Search-for-an-app link on my phone that would show me apps that would open this saved file, I'm taken to Samsung's app store, which only has game apps to download and no apps to open the grayed-out supposedly saved folder.

Therefore, for those who understand what I am saying, could you help me with this so that I can find a way to make sure that the content of my Notepad app is transferred to my new phone?

Asus Nexus 7 - "Google play has stopped" :(

Hey guys :)

I just picked up a cheap Nexus 7 (model ME370T). I know it's an old device but I bought it for the sole purpose of running just one app - Torque Pro.

However, every time I try searching in Google Play I'm able to type a few letters before it says "Unfortunately, Google Play has stopped" :(

I've done a factory reset, I've tried clearing app cache/data, it wouldn't appear there aren't any updated available... Not sure what else to try :/

Any suggestions?

TIA!

Help Change Knox Guard State

Hi!

I need to change the KG state of my Samsung Galaxy S22+ (Snapdragon, from US) which is currently in active state. I need the KG STATUS to be in CHECKING", "BROKEN", "COMPLETED" or disappeared so I can install a proprietary custom FW (the device and the custom FW are for professional testing purposes).

To unlock the bootloader I requested Samsung a token (which they gave me) and after flashing the token into the device the bootloader was unlocked (at least I get that warning messaging over a dark background stating this every time the device starts up). But, to be able to install the custom FW I need to change the KG status which by some reason is always active. I didn't have this problem with the Exynos model but this snapdragon model is killing me.

Does anyone knows how to do this?

Thanks!

Tmobile simcard from redpocket compatible phones

Phone experts if i use a redpocket 30$ year prepaid plan that is powered by T-MOBILE gsm network but sold by redpocket their 200mb 200 minutes 1000 texts every 30 day 2.50$ monthly plan.

I attached photos you can see my redpocket sim is GSMT and t-mobile network? Now will it operate in a locked to tmobile phone just slip the simcard in and go? Its for cheaper phone replacement?






See i use to have a tmobile family plan and when the phone would break i would just get a replacement boxed phone Tmobile pixi 4 from tmobile with sim kit from walmart in 2006-2016 and insert old simcard and continue operating.

Now i have redpocket that operates of tmobile gsm. A locked phone says tmobile is locked to tmobile sims only correct?

Say if i did need a replacement phone and had boost a locked to boost phone would directly work with the current simcard?

As you can see walmart stopped stocking the tmobile boxed plan shelf phones for 20$ flip phone 40$ android phones that were easily interchangeable just pop in old simcard from my tmobile service and go.

Now walmart has its on walmart family mobile which says POWERED BY T MOBILE ON THE BOX.

I spoke with a tmobile rep and they told me as long as the phone bands were the same it should operate but couldnt confirm.

Im curious if this redpocket T-mobile gsm will operate in a locked tmobile phone as it uses tmobiles gsm network or walmarts family mobile which is powered by tmobile.

I just bought a 30$ year prepaid redpocket plan 200 mb 200 minutes 1000 texts every 30 days and a g power 2021 3gb 32gb from best buy for black friday 109.99$.

The thing is the off the shelf phones locked to a carrier say tmobile, boost or whichever are compatible with the same carrier from my experience with tmobile and tmobile specific phones with the logo and opening screen.
