Help How safe are Uptodown and ApkPure?

An older app that I need is not available in Playstore but *is* available on Uptodown and ApkPure. Is it safe to download from Uptodown and ApkPure? I really don't want to brick a phone by downloading something full of malware!

I am under the impression - correct me if I'm wrong! - that Playstore checks every app for malware before accepting it so that you can sure it has no malware when you download it. Do Uptodown and ApkPure do the same? If not, how can I inspect a given app to be sure it is safe before I actually install it? On a laptop, I would download the file(s) to my Downloads folder and then run a program like Malwarebytes to make sure it is clean before installing it. In Android, at least when using Playstore, installation immediately follows downloading with no pause between to verify that the app is clean of malware.

My Samsung A71 recently stopped charging, then it died because of that, now I cannot turn my phone back on. I have been doing some reading and it appears other people have had the same problem with the Samsung A71.
My phone on a monthly contract and it finishes in 2 months. Is it worth getting it repaired or just getting a new phone?
Also, I need this decision to be made as which one costs less.

When to get a new sims card..

When you have lost everything connected to your sims card, and trying to hold it on forever, but sometimes
it can and will break down throughout time, so always do back up always try to a basic back up with your numbers and write them down, because there could be an electrical storm soon and just have all your information just whiped out from the cloud, search for your extra ones you might have laying around your house, or I wonder if they could sell them from amazon or any higher up machines. But be sure to back up everything, and just learn a walk though out most, be careful of getting a new sims card though, it can erase everything.. Am I missing something? Anyone can fill me into when of getting a new sims card...?

Wear OS "Application on phone not found"

I'm developping an application which targets Android mobile phones and Wear OS:

When searching the application on the Watch directly on Google play, I can find it correctly if typing the name of the app but no trace of my app if I look in the list of apps installed on the phone. I see many other applications but not the app I'm developping. I have checked that the package name is the same on the manifests used for mobile phone and watch. I cannot find information about this issue and don't really know where to search to understand why my application is not listed in the applications installed on the phone.
As anyone already encountered this issue .

Also on my phone when searching for my app on Google play I can correctly install it for the phone. But the button to automatically install the app on the watch is not working. I would bet it's the same root cause that produce both issues.

No mobile data

My service provider is a Spanish Jetnet. My phone Blackview A80. Android 9

Since receiving a new updated sim card from Jetnet, my apps are unable to access the internet when out of wifi range.

I have checked all my settings to enable it and talked with Jetnet. Jetnet advised resetting the APN details, which I did even though they were already correct.

I am at a loss. Any suggestions please?

p.s. my data usage on the phone is shown as almost zero!

Basic question about Playstore

I am trying to help my brother download an app he needs for work. It's called Motive (formerly KeepTruckin) and I found it and installed it, no problem, on my Pixel3 running Android 12. However, my brother's phone is a much older Sony Experia and when I try to find the same app in Playstore, it can't find Motive.

Is it possible that Playstore knows that my brother's phone has a level of Android below the minimum level that Motive needs and that's why it's not showing him the app?

To put it another way, does Playstore show every app it has regardless of the phone's level of Android or does it only show apps that could actually run on the phone because the phone meets the minimum level of Android needed to run the app?

I'm trying to figure out if this is going to force my brother to upgrade his phone or if there's some special trick he needs to use to find Motive and install it on his phone.

Possible website display issues?

Would anyone be willing to use or install and use Dolphin browser to see how a website displays? I am having some issues with the website banner (top of the page) not displaying some of the graphics. This is only on my Z Fold 3. On my Note 8, the website displays properly with Dolphin browser, and I can't explain it. I hope I don't have to do a return on this device. Right now, I can't upload a screenshot.

https://forums.thecmp.org/

Thanks for any help. I am really under the gun time-wise to figure out if I am having problems. If someone else gets the same broken/non-displaying graphics on Dolphin, I might consider it just an unfortunate glitch and nothing more.

Thanks,

Danny

Trouble getting photos off phone

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???

Transferring passwords from iPhone to Android?

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.
