Have had this LG phone for a couple of years and used to plug it into the USB port on my Win 10 laptop, opened File Explorer, clicked on the phone and downloaded the photos to the PC. A couple of days ago when I tried to go this the LG phone shows in File Explorer but when I click on it the right column says "This file is empty". ??? I've tried a couple different USB cables and also tried a different USB port... still the same problem. Everything it up to date and it used to work. Anyone know what's wrong???

hey guys, I moved a game to the SD card, now I lost the SD card and that game won't open and I can't find it in the system and I can't reinstall it. Please can anyone give me an idea on what to do in this case and I can't restore the phone to factory settings because I will lose all my data

So I recently purchased the Z Fold 4 and have been using an iPhone XS Max. I was wondering what's the best way to import/export/transfer the passwords/logins from my iPhone to my new Fold? Getting real tired of manually entering in 16 character passwords from Chrome to the apps in my phone. There has to be an easier way? Also, Is the Samsung Pass worth using? Kind of hesitant to have another app access to my login info and then have it also accessible by Chrome.

Hi,

In android google chrome after pressing a new tab I see this (Screenshot https://i.imgur.com/k4m0lyT.png )

How to disable the row of round buttons of recent pages?
How to remove the discover text and settings button?

What is the difference between the Google button (an app with letter G) and Chrome?

Thanks

Would anyone like me to build them a basic app?
Not after money, just expense, I have built 100's of apps for myself over the years and its getting easier and quicker, but it's not the same as building apps for somebody else, I can also upload it to the play store or send you the apk file.

I live near London and would love to get a job as a android developer but I am dyslexia and I am 42 years old but a strong portfolio would really help and I think this would be my only chance, intergrating github in the project would be easy if you want to see my code.

any advice would be great thanks

So, I was looking through my BFs phone looking for a password I saved under one of his accounts and saw where his phone is listed 3x on his Google account but only says (this device) beside one. And then I remembered that even his FB has 3 listed on his device logins with the same name - g920a.

Can anyone explain this to me?

I take photos of plants in Google Lens, asking it to identify the plant species. Sometimes I want to save the photo but there is no function in Google Lens to save a photo. Google search tells me that Google Lens can import to Google Keep. I have both Lens and Keep installed but I see no buttons in Lens to save to Keep or "Import to Keep". How do I save the Google Lens photo?

And get the thumb print just flickering once and going back to hibernation mode.

Hmmm, I will let you know if the progress does occur, throughout the days..

so i have a oukitel wp15, i suspect there was an update yesterday that i installed but forgot what it was called.

anyway, for example i use the doorbell camera app called "ring" so i can see whos on my front door. id open the app, let it run in the background if im using the other app or whenevr i switch my phone off so i will recieve notifications.

now whenever i unlock my phone, the system manager is closing these apps that i have open like ring, muzz and snapchat so i wont receive notifications.

is anyone else facing the same issue? can someone recommend fix for me please? dont know what to do, cheers

Sometime back I had an issue with trying to lock my bookmarks to where they only opened onto a specific folder. It seemed to be set using the flags setting "Improved bookmarks save flow" and setting it to disabled.
All was fine until about a week ago when every time I open my bookmarks it opens to the parent folder.

Anyone have a new/current solution?

My friend made the stupid mistake of looking at porn online and now his phone is just blowing up with the crap, and of course the fake virus alerts. I think it might be from Chrome. There is a new message or five or however many about every minute. I've tried removing them for him but they just keep returning. Those pictures sure aren't family friendly. What can we do to stop it?

Another 404,
my blue tooth hearing aids were working with just the mutlimedia program, shows me both are fully charge, but when I do connect with them they get booted away from my moto edge plus cell... So question is how come this is overlasping when I did not download anything third party?

An app corrupted my LineageOS 18.1 OnePlus 7 Pro for some reason, which means I need to factory reset it. However, before doing so I wish to save my data, and have been unsuccessful so far. I have been looking into transferring via the ADB pull command, but with no success, only getting errors and 0 files transferred.

ADB debugging is enabled and I'm out of ideas. I just want my photos and files...

Thanks beforehand, sorry if I sound frustrated, but this came at an unfortunate time for me

Around a year ago I've left my gmail account, now i realised I can't log into my old tiktok account without my email since I've changed the password and changed phone numbers too.

I know my email, old password and old phone number. But I can't verify my number to get into my Gmail account. My old phone is broken and google barely has any service. So i came to the conclusion that using my old sim card might delete the phone number verification since maybe my sim card will be recognised.

I have 0 understanding of phones so is this going to do anything?

1. How does Google account work, if I have google account does it mean that every Google app in the phone is using the same Google account? e.g. Google Photos, Drive, Playstore...

2. If I do not have Google account can I use any gmail to login Playstore so I can download from Playstore? Can I use the gmail to login playstore, download app, then logout of playstore, without adding the gmail to become google account?

3. If I have Google account e.g john @ gmail.com, can I use another different gmail e.g. johnnyrobinson @ gmail.com to login Playstore?

4. If I do not have Google Photos app, I have Google account, does Google account backup contains all photos and videos? Does Google account and Google Photos backup exact same images and videos?

5. If I have a new phone, what is the difference of restore backup from Google account vs Samsung account vs restore backup by using Samsung smart switch transfer from old phone.

6. Is there something like Playstore that do not require any login?

7. How to get playstore into a phone that does not have playstore or if I wish to reinstall playstore?

Thanks.

In smartphone, pixel 3a XL with Android 8.0, I discover /dev/video* does not exist. Why doesn’t it exist? Is there another device file that is able to interact with camera hardware?

Hi

Thanks.

I am just learning the android environment. I am trying to code a mobile app that converts speech to text. Every example I find uses the deprecated "onActivityResult" function. I cannot find even one example that uses the new "registerForActivityResult" function. Please help.

Thank you,

My device had updated its software about 2 months ago and now I'm having a constant, very annoying issue. Every time I open my TD banking app, the next time i go to unlock my screen, the screen locks up and the device is rendered useless until i do a full reboot. I know the OS is not frozen because i will be able to see the screen that is supposed to be showing during the restart of the device (while holding down the screen unlock and volume down buttons). I've tried reinstalling the app and that did not resolve the issue. I'm not sure if its a problem with the app itself or the software update that was applied and i do not know how to revert to previous updates

Without sacrifice privacy and security. No root. Sorry I'm pretty much new to this. Oh is it possible to unlock LG Stylo 4 bootloader without computer? Because I don't own computers.

Hi and thanks in advance for any replys. I have a new Reev pro with vir 12. Android. Im having a problem with an app called workday. When attempting to view/download a .pdf I get this error message "failed to make temp file directory" I have tried all the standard workarounds I usually do with this kind of issue, data and cash clear, reinstall, permissions even installed Adobe pdf viewer. I have heard that vir 11 had some code permissions issues with external storage but not internal storage. Im not savvy with droid code but thought some one here would have a suggestion.

On the home screen when I press Photos it brings up locally stored photos (on sd card or phone memory) and then all my 100's of Google Photos stored on line, uploaded from my pc, (many years worth!!)

It is a nuisance to see all the photos all the time.

Normally I wish to only see photos taken with the phone camera, which are locally stored on the sd card in folders..

Then occasionally, but rarely, I would like to see some Google photos.

Is this possible?

For those of us in the U.K. who purchase either the new Fold4 or Flip4 between the 10th August and the 29th September, 2022, you can claim a pair of the new Buds2 Pro, free from Samsung, on top of the other freebies on offer.

That will save you £219, although the claiming process is a bit of a rigmarole involving receipt and IMEI uploads, it can be done and the Buds2 Pro are dispatched within 45 days.

Here is the link and full instructions on how to claim...
