Help Help installing apps

Got cheap so no big deal.

All I wanted to do is use as a monitor for security camera.

Cannot seem to install anything from PlayStore. As soon as I click INSTALL I get an error that says NO CONNECTION even though I am well connected to my WiFi/Internet.

No problem going to web sites so the connection is fine.

Is there a custom ROM that might work on this?

Any ideas? ( perhaps via APK? )

Side-loading on an LG phone?

I have a tech-challenged friend who owns a very recent LG phone. The exact model I do not know at present. I know he got it from a Verizon store less than a year ago. I have tried several times to get an account set up for him with Google Play without any success. So here's my question:

I have the APK file I want to load and tried to side load on the phone yesterday by connecting the phone to his desktop computer via a USB cable but had no success. So how can I get this APK onto his phone and run the installation?

Charger issues

My son stuck an earring in my charger port and shorted the phone. The charger port sparked and turned the phone off completely.

It has been suggested a resistor on the charging port has blown and needs changing. Is that the case?

Since he phone has turned off completely and won't turn back on does that suggest worse damage?

I can buy a complete charging port board for £8 and change it myself if that is all required.

Thanks.

Edit: This is the board that can be replaced.

Dictionary?

I found the personal dictionary in the settings on my Samsung Galaxy S10e phone but I can't find it on the Samsung Tab S6 Lite. Does such a thing exist? I just want to add words that I use regularly that the email doesn't recognize, which is very annoying.
Appreciate any advice.

How do I determine source of notification?

I'm trying to help my brother with a problem he's having with his Moto G Power phone running Android 11.

This morning, his phone started ringing roughly every 2 minutes but neither of us could figure out WHY. He couldn't think of anything he'd done to create a notification and I couldn't see anything useful on the screen indicating why it was ringing when it did ring. I poked around and found only a single alarm in the Clock app but that was supposed to ring on weekends only and it's Thursday so I was pretty sure that wasn't it. I deleted the alarm anyway but the ringing continued, which confirmed the alarm wasn't the issue.

I had received an Amber Alert yesterday afternoon and asked if the ringing had started then but he said it had started this morning.

I went into settings and looked under notifications and saw that he'd received an Amber Alert three hours ago but I couldn't see any way to verify that it was the reason he was still getting the frequent ringing. I asked if he'd clicked OK to acknowledge the message and he said he'd tried.

Finally, as I was typing this message, it rang yet again and this time, when I looked on the screen, it was an Amber Alert - the same one I'd seen yesterday! - and after I clicked OK, the ringing stopped.

Even if this mystery/annoyance is now behind us, I still need to ask: if a phone is ringing/notifying unexpectedly, is there a reliable way to determine WHY it is ringing/notifying, i.e. what app or condition is causing it? The first many times I looked at the screen when it rang, there was NOTHING to indicate why. This was exasperating. I'd like to think Android gives you some reasonable way to determine why a given noise is being emitted by one of their phones.

Help Running Android x86 on Centos 7

Hello, I'm trying to run Android OS on a centos VPS following this tutorial:
Code:
[url]https://dev.to/gauthamp10/easiest-way-to-install-android-os-via-linux-no-grub-fiddling-3gao[/url]
I've done all this via ssh with no remote desktop access, after the installation i have a Android directory with various files in it.

Then it says
Volá! Now you are ready with android x86 desktop O.S.
Reboot and you will see a boot entry with Android x86 tag

So I've rebooted and logged back in via ssh but its still on centos, i did not see any boot entry with Android x86 tag, although I'm sure I'm doing something wrong.

I'm not sure where to go from here to get android working.

Hi!

I have just made an android application for my Samsung Galaxy Watch 4.

But now I would like to make it a widget too, I have tried to find somewhere how to make widgets but cannot find out how to do so.

I have tried to in my current project to "add widget" but then everything breaks (had to remake my entire app ).

Does anyone have a good guide or fast tip on how to make a widget for a Android Watch?

Thanks in advance!
