The October update silenced my phone. None of the sounds worked. They weren't turned off, they just didn't sound. Don't panic. Just restart your phone.

Hi folks,

I'm pulling my hair out on this one, perhaps someone can shed some light.
Android 10, recent version of Gallery app (1.8.9.465239415).

I have an SD card on my phone; most of my images are stored on it. Recently, it became full so I bought a larger one. Pulled the SD card out, copied all contents to the new one.
I made absolutely sure that all FAT timestamps on all files are set to what they need to be, i.e. the time the file was actually created. This includes all of: creation, modification and access times.

Inserted the SD card back. Fired up Gallery. It started grouping all pictures into one big pile, marked "October". Checking "info" on some samples showed the date of the card change (yesterday)!
Googled a bit, found a recommendation to clear the storage of some apps. So I cleared cache and local storage of: Gallery, Media Storage and External Storage (latter two are system apps). Rebooted.

Now the phenomenon is as follows - I can't make any sense of it:
One one hand, the "Camera" folder (actually, /DCIM/Camera on the card) seems to be indexed just fine! "info" on all files shows the correct date.
HOWEVER, all other folders on the SD card still show all image files having a date of October - the date of the move.
I verified, probably 10 times, that all actual dates on the files (C/M/A and even EXIF) are correct. None of them shows the October date. And still, this is what Gallery shows.

I can't even think of a scenario as to where it gets that October date from. Must be something cached somewhere still. Drives me nuts.

Thanks for reading this far! I'd be grateful for any input or pointers.

So, technology is a real issue in our house. Technology has led to a lot of issues with my kids where one of my kids ended up in the hospital twice due to stuff that started on social media. The kids now have pinwheel phones so they cannot get to any of that. But, my kids have broken into safes and find devices we forgot about and got around blocks.

I bought a synology router and I have it setup so any device connected without me putting it into a profile can't browse. But then my kids figured out how to use anonymous vpns and proxies which bypassed that. I now spent almost $600 on a Watchguard firewall where now I have vpns and proxies, for the most part blocked. But it's getting insaine.

So, I was storing all of our tablets and smart phones that we're not using in a safe. But. my kids figured out the code to the safe by using a blacklight to figure out which keys I push to get in... can you beleive that? Also one of my kids broke into my wife's gun safe to get a tablet. A few months ago, when things really hit the fan, I found every single electronic that wasn't used on a daily basis out to my garage, put it in the vice and then smashed the screen until it broke in half. I ruined a lot of devices. My idea is I do not want anything in the house that's electronic that isn't used on a daily basis.

Ok, brefore you get on me about parenting, my one daughter has been to the behavioral health hospital twice. She is on meds now. We talked to her doctor. Doctor says no social media for her at all. But my other daughter has been caught doing this too. I have the two kids in counseling once a week and I also hired a parent coach (which is $800 a month for her services.... insaine how much she charges), but we have a $200 meeting with her once a week to discuss parenting. Her idea is we need to take it back to the begining and fix all the issues.

But still, this takes time. My kids are required to use school chromebooks and PCs at home. (That is what I caught one of my kids using a vpn to get around my blocks.)

Ok, so all of you know all of my problems. I've spent many hundreds of dollars on Kindle books. I destroyed my tablet a few months ago when I destroyed everything. But, now I'm not reading any of my books. I just ordered a Kindle Paperwhite, but I used it for the last hour or so and I hate it. It works so slow. Also, it has an experimental web browser built in so if my kids use it, they can browse unfiltered. So, I just ordered a new tabet.

Right now, unless one of you have a better idea, I'm going to attach Tiles to my phone and my tablet and have a notification sent to me if one of them goes too far away from the other one. But, I'd rather not have a tile on each of them. I'd rather have the tablet and the phone to be paired maybe over bluetooth or nfc, and if they loose connectivity, send me an instant alert. So, then all of my electronics are near me at all times and I don't let my guard down.

Any ideas?

As I mentioned in my other thread, my wife has an S9. I couldn't get MMS to work no matter what I tried. So finally I changed carriers from PagePlus (Verizon MVNO) to RedPocket (ATT MVNO).

Now MMS works, but voice calls don't VoLTE is required to make voice calls on ATT, so that setting must be enabled in Settings\Connections\Mobile Networks. The setting doesn't even appear. But I remembered seeing it before. After some testing, I discovered that the VoLTE setting is present and turned on when the PagePlus SIM is installed, but it disappears when the RedPocket SIM is installed.

Once again, the carrier's tech support advice is limited to reboot and reset As if I haven't already tried that...

When trying to make a call, it starts the dialing process and then immediately says "call ended" as soon as u try to connect. When trying to call this phone, it immediately goes to voicemail.

Any advice?

I have an old Android 5.1 tablet. When I start Chrome browser, on the top right hand corner, instead of the 3 dots, it will show a small icon which says new update available. In order to see my history, I have no choice but to tap on the icon which override the 3 dots. This invoked Play Store asking me to install the update which will fail because 5.1 is not supported. I then have to go back to Chrome and tab on the 3 dots to see the history. I have already turned off auto update. But no help. I understand that Chrome is doing the right thing telling me about the update. But it is quite annoying that I have to go through this every time. I was wondering if there is anyway to prevent Chrome from invoking Play Store when I clicked on the icon ? or prevent the update available icon to override the 3 dots ?

I use Verizon in the burbs of New York City. I just downloaded the October OTA update. It's only 38.17 mb so it downloads quickly but, as usual, the optimizing takes a while. It's suppose to fix many issues but since mine is still optimizing, I have no idea.
Good luck to all! (◉‿◠)

I was recently looking through my Android devices from my PC, and an extra unkown phone had appeared as signed in. I used the PC Google page to sign out on the odd device but it still appears as signed out of course.

I want to keep an eye on it to see if it gets signed back in, and then change passwords etc.

However I can't work out how to view and manage all my devices from an Android device if I'm not near a PC.

I go to the Google app but can't work out what to do then.

I had left my gaming rig on for a month this Summer just in case I want to quickly play some games to de-stress after work (I also keep it offline to avoid updates, and don't play multiplayer PC games anyway). It's a CyberPower PC that I wiped Windows and put Linux (Ubuntu GamePack 20.04) onto it. Other than one game (Flight Simulator 2020) everything works well.

I recently shut it down to clean the dust out, and it was a proper shutdown (sudo shutdown -h now) and it indeed powered off fine. A little over a month later I felt like de-stressing with some Farming Simulator 17, First bootup, black screen, nothing, not even the CyberPower PC logo. That's fine, it's done this before, something about DisplayPort. Turned it off, back on again. Saw the logo this time, GREAT! But oh, it's not. Now it's stuck at the spinning boot logo. Hit ESC. It's showing a ton of messages about MDATM (RAID?! I ain't got no raid!) and then it freezes after showing that my /dev/sdb2 filesystem is 'clean' right after a message saying 'recovering journal' and the message before that 'Gave up waiting for suspend/resume device'

Huh? I know I did a halt command, not a sleep command! That's gotta be a mistake! I couldn't have 'broken' Linux just by a darned shutdown could I?

Tried the noresume boot option. Well, now that message is gone, but it still freezes 'recovering journal' and 'filesystem clean'.

Try recovery boot. OK so now I can get a prompt. Tried an FSCK. NOPE, it gives up outright ain't gonna have none of that! Odd, I've done this before and it worked fine with the force flag, ain't gonna touch my SSD huh? OK I'll try something else.

Read some posts online that this type of boot freeze can be a full or almost full filesystem. Huh? The SSD is 250GBs and I know I ain't used all that up yet! Plus this system has never gone online since I installed all my Steam contents over a year ago! Ain't nothing changed bruh!

But I went along and humored the Ask Ubuntu post. "df -h". Sure enough my '/' which is /dev/sdb2 is showing as ZERO bytes free. HOW?! I didn't do nothin! I try deleting everything in /var/log and /tmp. Got 1GB back. But still showing as 'zero bytes free' (0% of 16GB on /) What is going on here?

A few hours later, and long past my game time (about time to go to bed! so much for de-stressing, now I'm seriously worried that many hours of gameplay and tons of mods are now gone!) I stumble on a post that uses tune2fs to give root 0 bytes 'reserved' whatever that is. I try it, and WOW now it boots normally! Quickly run BleachBit as admin and remove any packages that I don't need, and now it's back to the 3/4 used state.

What happened? This system never goes online and there's nothing running that should be eating space up. Nothing changes except me saving games which only affects my /home partition. I don't have any clue what filled up root or if I should worry it's gonna happen again? Maybe I should just keep this system on a UPS and on forever?

I'm learning AI techniques by building a bot to play a video game. I'm documenting my process as I go.

Any advice on topics I should research?

Thanks!

Does anyone know if it is possible to not have the charging info. showing at the bottom of the display when the device is in sleep/idle mode? I originally thought it was part of the Always on Display, but I disabled that and it still shows. I have not looked around too much further, but will after posting this.

I have noticed recently that Android 13 started using a lot data the past few weeks. My phone has used almost 6GB's of data. Not sure why since I am not doing anything very data intensive. Have also noticed that Android did away with the view all app permissions . I switched all my apps to ask permission.

Hi. I have a Motorola Moto e4 phone with Android 7.1.1. I have an sd card in the phone that was already formatted by that phone and was the default storage. I factory-reset the phone and want to make that card default storage again. Do I have to format the sd card again, or is there an easier way? Thanks for any help.

I am using the dd-MMM-yyyy format in String format in java android .
It returns "01-Sept-2022" as a result.
I want "01-Sep-2022" as result.
This issue shows up in android 12. How can I get my desired return value in all versions?

Our Moto E 2020 (less than a year old) goes into "emergency mode" on its own every couple of weeks - sometimes every few days. No calls or texts can come in, No calls or texts can go out. The only way to get the phone working again is to shut it off and turn it back on again. It is not in airplane mode. Do not disturb settings are turned off. This can't be normal. We can't rely on the phone. We find out when go to make a call or send a text.

The phone is on Verizon pre-paid. Is there anything that can be done to prevent this from happening.

excuse me, i cant find Car Driving Online Maleo on play store. Has anyone here installed it yet? please help

I just did a factory reset on my Note 3 which I have not used in years. I am going to use it as my main phone when traveling, using another SIM Card for data access out of the country. On my Z Fold 4, there is a Home Screen setting to enable or disable adding new apps to the home screen. As I am adding new apps to the Note 3, it is automatically also adding them to the Home Screen. Can I stop this on the Note 3? I have looked for a setting, but so far, no luck.

Writing to inquire... Have the LG125DL flip phone and seek guidance on finding an error log and the expected life span of the LG BL-49H1H. Also, Does there a newer version of this battery on the market either in or out of the brand.

Guidance sought

I have a dilemma I hope someone can help me solve. It's a two-fold problem.

1. I would like to be able to assign a unique tone to a single notification. Example: I get notifications from work, at all hours. They come in the form - alert@XXXX.net . It's not important what the tone is, just that it's specific to the example shown.

2. Once the above is accomplished, for times when I'm sleeping, I would like to be able to silence all ringers and notifications except for the above, alert@XXXX.net

3. In a perfect world I would like to easily turn this off and on for those days that I'm not working.

I'm guessing it's pretty easy to do, I just haven't been able to figure it out.
For what it's worth I have a Note 10+, all updates completed.

I've never had a need to do this until now. My phone is a Note 10+. I can turn notifications off, and leave the ringer on. If I silence the ringer, it also silences the notifications. But I want the opposite, I want to turn off the ringer but the notifications on.

Is there a solution?

Hi,

i would ask you an help about a problem related to Android Auto.

Assumptions:
Phone: Xiaomi RedMi Note 9S
MIUI Version: 13.0.1
Android Version: 12 SKQ1.211019.001
Android Auto Version: 8.0.6.623354-release
Car Head Unit: Sync 3.4 on Ford Puma St-Line X

One week ago i purchased my new car. Everything was perfect, but when i tried to connect my Xiaomi to the Head Unit through Android Auto, i realized that the screen casting had an awful image quality: Android Auto seems in low resolution, and sometimes appear some colour artifacts (photos attached).

So, i tried to understand if the problem was my Car Head Unit, or my Xiaomi. I connected various phone to the Head Unit, and in those cases the connection and the display quality were perfect.
Aswell, i tried to connect my phone to different cars, and to the Android Auto Desktop Emulator, and i kept having always the same horrible quality image.

So, from this i got that the problem was my Xiaomi.
I tried everything: with different USB 3.0 Type C cables, i tried entering developer options and change the resolution, i tried the Debug USB mode, i tried deleting and re-installing Android Auto App, and i tried aswell to download a newer beta-version of AA... nothing worked.

But i discovered something: i tried to connect two other Xiaomis... two Xiaomi RedMi Note 10. I imagined that, being the same phone, they would have had the same results. But...

Xiaomi RedMi Note 10 with MIUI 13.0.3 and Android 12 SP1A = no problems, perfect screen casting
Xiaomi RedMi Note 10 with MIUI 13.06 and Android 12 SKQ1 = low resolution, like my Xiaomi RedMi Note 9s
Alle three phones had both the same Android Auto version (8.0.6.623354-release).

So.. it's possible that my Android Auto problem comes from the Android 12 SKQ version?
Someone else had my same problem? There is a way to fix this, or, maybe, to change the Android version from 12SKQ to 12SP1A?
