Help , please...desperate

I am desperate. I had to turn on the biometrics (used a fingerprint) for my phone. Then I decided to turn it OFF. I tried going into settings but it kept asking for a password. I've tried everything I could think of but nothing worked so I did a new one, wrote it down, and the new one was accepted. But that wouldn't work to get rid of the biometrics either, so I thought maybe I should restart my phone. Now I can't even get INTO my phone. What can I do other than smash it against a wall?

This is on a Samsung Galaxy S9.

Android Slow Bluetooth RFCOMM Transfer Rate with RN4678

We are experimenting with a bunch of new tablets, and every one we tried is having issues with slow transfer rates with the RN4678 board. We currently use the Lenovo M10 FHD Plus. We tried a few such as the Teclast M40S, Nokia T20, and Samsung Galaxy Tab A8. The first two had horrible transfer rates, while the latter was okay but not ideal. We cannot use the Lenovo M10 Plus 3rd Gen because the buttons are too close to the corner to use with our tablet holders.

nokia photo question

i just got this nokia and set it up on metro. but what is giving me fits now is when i plug the phone into me pc and click in the folder icon in the taskbar to open explorer i see nokia and i click that and then internal as it has no sd in it and then dcmi and then camera. i have hundreds of photos that migrated from google to the phone and maybe 5 photos i took with the phone.

my issues is when i look at the photos all i see is a blank icon and it has the photo name and then under the name is has jpg file so how do i get this phone to show these as photos? any other phone i connect will show the photo

look at this and see the photos. this is from another phone doing the same process and they show as photos.
so do i have to change some settings in the nokia to get this phone to send out photos as with the jpg included in the file name so the pc knows they are photos? i do not want to jump thru hoops every time want to save photos from the nokia to my pc. thanks

Hello to all!
I have a big question and the right replies will help me a lot (more thant you should thinks...)
I live in Italy and Ive a 5g Zte 72A smartphone.
This morning I was on a train and my signal wasn't perfect and I think It's normale during a train trip...
What's happened? That my gf wrote a message, I've replied normale but she goes crazy because, she says, I've modified my status to offline in privacy settings.
I'm an old guy and for me WhatsApp It's like a SMS service upgrade with photos and videos and files uploader and I think It's Always online because you write me and I receive your message. I never changed this setting because first before today I didnt know that and second I didnt modify NOTHING.
How It's possibile that She saw me offline but I was online because Ive never changed my settings? Glitches, bugs, WhatsApp down of two days ago??
Thanks a lot for all replies.

g power 2021 vs g pure

Hello i was just about to purchase an unlocked motorola phone. WHich is better the g pure or g power 2021. Both im looking at are 32gb. Motorola told me the g pure was the basic cheapest option while the g power 2021 was faster upgraded option and had night vision camera.
The g pure comes with android 11 and the g power 2021 comes with android 10 i was told would upgrade to android 11 once opened bought and allowed android updates.

Can anyone confirm the g power 2021 32gb blue will indeed upgrade from android 10 to 11 once activated?

Both phones are GSM, CDMA, 4g LTE VoLTE phones compatible with t-mobile, sprint, att and boost mobile and other carriers.

Im going with redpocket mobile or a boost prepaid plan. Redpocket requires VoLTE 4g and GSMT gsm t mobile compatible phones as well as CDMA sprint compatible phones. This is BYOD bring your own device type of plan.

Can anyone tell me which phone is better if they've had experience with both and if the g power 2021 will auto update to android 11 and is for sure 4g LTE VoLTE GSM, CDMA networks tmobile, sprint, boost mobile compatible as well as other major service provider. Best buy assured me the phone would work with any monthly, prepaid and any service provider given both GSM, CDMA network compatibility.

World Series 2022

I wish I could say that I'm excited for the series to start but I'm not. I'll watch some just because I want to squeeze in just a bit more baseball to tie me over until preseason.I have nobody playing that I wish to win. There isn't even a player I want to watch. I can't remember being so bummed about a series. I'm guess that the Astros will win it all being as they have been there and done that in recent history. I usually like to root for the underdog in such a situation which I figure the Phillies fit that bill. You can only be the Cinderella team for so long. They've rode it well and have far exceeded expectations. I have the feeling that the series will not have the right size glass slipper for the Phillies. Astros in six. .... and besides... who cares.

Help with Consumer Cellular Activation

I am trying to switch over to Consumer Cellular. I want to use my T-mobile Galaxy S5 and am having a nightmare dealing with their customer support. The phone connects to the CC network but no voice. CC customer support insists that the phone is not voLTE capable but that is nonsense. I do not find a Settings choice to turn on voLTE but there is an option in the Phone app settings and that is turned on. I am hoping someone has a solution to this issue.

can i register my phone online to metro

i have a galaxy a21 on metro now and just got a Nokia x100 unlocked and on my google account but i need to get this on the metro pcs . so can i go to the metro website and install the phone while i'm on the website? or do i have to call metro and have them set it up? or take it to a metro store and pay them whatever to get the phone setup?
i have a free line thru metro now so i can transfer that sim over from the a21 to the nokia x100 phone. i also have a galaxy a51 but that is still locked to tracfone for another 6 months as i just go that. so if i do not care for the nokia then i know the a51 behaves like the a21 and will transfer that phone later. it will be nice if i can log onto the metro site and enter the new phone imei and then it will activate like tracfone allows. so does anyone know for sure? thanks

How do I fix a font size problem on Android Chrome?

I hope this is the right place to ask this. I am creating a set of web pages (bare-bones static HTML) that will be read by arbitrary users, but mostly Android Chrome on phones. The basic problem is that under certain circumstances, the text of paragraphs becomes really tiny. There is no problem on Firefox or Opera (Windows), on Chrome on a PC, or anything on a Mac or Iphone. The simplest version of the problem is when a paragraph has fewer than 2 lines, for example:

<html><body><p>This is one very short paragraph</p><p>This is a second short paragraph</p></body></html>

I have tested this on two Android phones using Chrome and a Lenovo Tab tablet. If you add enough text to those paragraphs that it goes over 2 lines (given the 6pt or so type that it displays in), the point size becomes correct. I have experimented with various ways of explicitly setting the size, such as

<p style="font-size:120%;">

for each paragraph, also using pt and em, and this does not cure the problem, though with some settings it kicks the can down the road (sometimes it works at 117% size). The second circumstance is if there is any button in a paragraph, thus

<p>This is a small <button>button</button> in a paragraph. No matter how long the paragraph, the whole paragraph is in really small print</p>

Setting an explicit size for the button (and / or paragraph) has no effect. The pages are loaded with buttons (which play sound) I would like the problem to go away, I have no idea if this can be fixed but it seems pretty bizarre and surely I'm missing something obvious.

Textra ONLY contacts

I use g mail contacts for my textra texting. Has worked beautifully in the past--only NOW--in one of my group contacts it list MANY that do not belong to the group specified. They are NOT listed in my g mail contacts in the specified group ...ONLY Textra. There doesn't seem to be a way to edit this in textra. Any ideas as to how to eliminate added names to my group in textra?

Help Android 13 issue

Hello - I received my Android 13 update last night and my text messages are not appearing on my lock screen when received. I can hear the alert / vibrate, but no notification.

I chatted with Samsung today and the had me reset all settings - no change.

Is anyone else experiencing this? If so, can you assist?

Thanks

Touch and hold / long press, and slight finger movement

Not sure if this is Google Maps only, or a general Android thing, but I just wasted 2 hours of my life trying to get google maps to set a waypoint on the map for me to drive to to go for a walk. You have to touch and hold / long press the map to make a marker. This didn't' work. I've now found out the phone must be on a perfectly still surface, rest your wrist on that same perfectly still surface, then press and hold without moving your finger more than 2 billionths of a millimetre. Please please please somebody tell me this idiocy can be adjusted?
