Problem Pairing Android Studio to Device by WiFi

I managed to pair an Andriod Device to Android Studio via WIFI using a QR code. But then I got a "Default Activity Now Found" error when I tried to run my program to the device, I went through the steps to fix that error. And that led me to not only cleaning and rebuilding the project but when I restarted Visual Studio, I thought I would remove and re-add the listing in Device Manager.

And this is where the problem is. Since I removed the device listing in Device Manger, I have not been able to get it back. I have been trying both the QR code as well as the pairing code. The Android cell lists the computer. But each method I have tried to get Android Studio to recognize the cell, it fails. It says it may take up to 2 minutes to complete but it will say that there is an error pairing the device. It does not matter if I I the computer name from the list of paired devices on the android or not.

Click to call/text

I can put tel: link on any spreadsheet that will put a number in my Android detailer when clicked. I need to be more efficient though.

What kind of link can I use to actually begin the call?

I also need a way to click one link and an outbound call BEGINS on speaker

ALSO, I need to know how to send a text message the same way or at least repopulate like I can do with email mailto .

Why does Phone by Google update itself?

have a rooted Google Pixel 3XL running Android V10, have the Settings option 'Automatic System Updates' unchecked, and in Google Play, 'Auto update apps' is set to 'Don't auto update apps'.

However, over the past week or so, Phone by Google has auto-updated itself three times! Each time this happens, I uninstall updates and re-install V65.0.370544174. I keep this old version because my default phone app is True Phone, the newer versions of Phone by Google require that it be the default app to operate, but I need Phone by Google to listen to voicemails.

So two questions:
  • Can you please suggest what I should try to get Phone by Google to stop updating itself?
  • If there is no such setting, can you suggest an app for listening to voicemails?
Thanks.

Amazon Texting issue when switching carrier

This is probably not phone-specific, but I guess it could be. I switched carriers from T-mobile to Mint Mobile but retained my same phone number. All is good, EXCEPT I can no longer get text messages from Amazon.com. Other companies and private parties text me, including the type of two-factor authentication I was using with Amazon, no problem. But zip from Amazon. I have spent a total of about 10 hours with Amazon and much less with Mint. They point fingers at each other, but bottom line, I can no longer get text messages just from Amazon. Anyone else heard of this? Thanks

Help Need a phone worth having

Not sure why, but my v20 has been real fussy lately. I'd been holding out in hopes of a phone maker to finally have a successor to this worth looking at, but it seems we'll sooner see a vaccine for HIV than that ever happening.

Up to this point, been happiest with unlocked phones. Unfortunately, I just can't bring myself to spend any money on a sealed battery phone. Since, for as long as I've been alive, every single one of them has been absolutely terrible for me.

Simply... I need root. Full stop. And I'm sick of XDA making it hard to find out if it's possible or not. Just as I'm sick of them having a monopoly on who's allowed to root their phones or not. Stop right there; yes, they do. Because every other site that claims to enable root always comes with some kind of malware.

I use a headphone Jack daily. Both in my car off the clock, and in my vehicle when I've got some down time at work.

With root, I like twrp to make an image backup of the phone. So for that, I want an SD card slot.

Lastly, the biggest problem, and always the problem from the start, is the battery. The last time I tried to settle with a sealed battery phone, I was recommended the moto x pure. And suffice to say, I spent way more than the phone was worth replacing chargers, charging cables, and then having to sell it for pennies on the dollar when it refused to quick charge and no shop around here would even touch it to fix it.

I was hoping someone out there would have basically made "a v20 but with a 5g radio" or that I could have got a fair phone 4 for example. But seeing as the us phone public is predominately full of office morons that refuse to leave WiFi range, much less the operating range of an outlet, now I have to suffer for their buying decisions.

Help Entitled my crazy crown on my head.

But I suspect something is going on in the background of my cell, not so sure, I cannot put my finger on it though, but the apps seem a bit slower and sluggish timer, such as using my drops app just now, as well as the clock is running perfect, so I am wondering how come my apps seem a bit sluggish? Even when snapshotting my photograph it seem like off a second or two when pressing on the touch screen?!

Watch 4 classic - tracking steps

I'm curious about how the watch tracks steps. Do I need to be swinging my arms as I walk to trigger the counter? If I hold my arms still and walk, should my steps be counted? I ask because I have about a third of an acre to mow. I use a push mower and was about 3/4 finished and I looked at my watch and it tracked about 200 steps. I know it took more than 200 steps to mow that much lawn! Is it because my hands/arms didn't move? Should I have manually started the walking feature to record those types of steps???

Help Any companies sell phones in EU you DON'T have to register 3 weeks ahead to use in the US?

Anyone know any manufacturers who don't have this spectacularly f-ed up policy that Samsung has had for a couple years, which is that all Samsungs purchased in Germany are deactivited for use outside the EU, and the only way to get them activated is to email Samsung your IMEI, receipt of purchase, and dates of travel, and then after three weeks they'll get back to you and let you know *if* they've decided (which isn't assured) to send you a code to unlock it for out-of-EU use - and only for the dates you requested?

This info all comes from a chat with Samsung Germany support and the email they sent me with instructions for the procedure. No idea if it applies elsewhere in EU.

Changing ANP settings Armor X6

Hello all

New here - just have a quick question which my network provider doesn't seem to be able to answer.

I need to reset the ANP settings on my Armor X6 in order to be able to receive 3/4G data but they are all greyed out.

Does anyone have any suggestions on the best way to remedy this?

I've read that I might have to root the phone but I am a complete noob at Android and don't want to brick it!

TIA for any help with this

Help App to open HTML links to PDFs on local storage

I have some various user's manuals that are in the format of an index.html file which has about 500 links that open 500 PDFs that are stored in sub folders. Everything is on a micro SD card in my phone. Chrome says "content" is blocked. I tried HTML viewer apps but they open the html file but won't open the PDFs. Also tried Firefox and Opera and same thing...content blocked.

Anyone have a suggestion? Using Android 9, I believe on Moto Z4.

Help How to buy Samsung with 4G VoLTE in Europe? (No foreign phones work in US at all now??)

EDIT - question seems answered; see my reply below

Is there a way to find out before purchasing the phone if Samsung A22 or A32 sold in Germany have 4G VoLTE? Or other Samsungs too, with or without 5G. I'm flying to the US in 5 days and it looks like no phones sold outside the US can be used on Tmobile at all (my carrier; I have a US account but haven't been there since the 3G shutdown), because I think they've cut off access to all phones that don't have 4G VoLTE along with shutting down the 3G network, and no phones sold outside the US have VoLTE(?) I'm not sure but I think even if your phone purchased outside the US has 5G it still won't work because T-Mobile blocks the whole phone.

So I hope I'm wrong about non-US phones not having VoLTE - but how would you find out if a phone has it before you buy it?

The thing about non-US phones not having VoLTE came from: https://www.pcmag.com/news/why-your-att-smartphone-may-suddenly-stop-working-soon

Can't delete old contacts

Hi all,

I gave my Xiaomi Mi 10T to my girlfriend's son and I deleted my account on it and made a new one for him.
But now we want to delete the contacts that were on the phone when I was using it and it doesn't work.
Whatever we try it always says "Fout bij opslaan contact" (we are Dutch)
In the phone app it's not possible to adjust or delete any contact and in the contacts app same thing...

Is there any way to get it deleted or am I forced to do a phone reset?
There are still pictures on it (old and new ones) that we don't want to lose and games of him.

Add values from an array brought from firebase and display them in a label

I am doing my project in ionic 6 with angular and a firebase database. I need a typescript function that adds the values fetched from an array that are extracted from a collection in firebase.

Code:
   async getGastos() {
        const uid = await this.auth.getUid();
        const ruta = 'Usuarios/' + uid + '/Gastos';
        this.firebaseService.getCollection<Gasto>(ruta).subscribe(res => {
            this.gastos = res;
            // this.gastos.forEach(gasto => {
            //     gasto.monto_gasto;
            // });
        });
        this.setTransc()
           }
//Function to fetch the data from the "expenses" collection, the "expense_amount" column and add this data to the "setTransc" function

Code:
   async getIngresos() {
       const uid = await this.auth.getUid();
       const ruta = 'Usuarios/' + uid + '/Ingresos';
       this.firebaseService.getCollection<Ingreso>(ruta).subscribe(res => {
           this.ingresos = res;
           // this.ingresos.forEach(ingreso => {
           //     ingreso.monto_ingreso
           // });
       this.setTransc()
       });
   }

//Function to fetch the data from the "income" collection, the "expense_amount" column and add this data to the "setTransc" function

Code:
    setTransc() {
        let sumaGastos = 0;
        this.gastos.forEach(gasto => {
            sumaGastos += gasto.monto_gasto
            console.log("ggg", sumaGastos);
        });

        let sumaIngresos = 0;
        this.ingresos.forEach((ingreso, i) => {
            sumaIngresos += ingreso.monto_ingreso
            console.log("iii", sumaIngresos);
        });
    }

    async todo(){
        await this.getGastos();
        await this.getIngresos();
    }

"setTransc()" function to sum the values of the array, then the "todo()" function has an await since the elements return a promise before being displayed.

It should be noted that I need to press a button for the values to be operated because I don't know how to do it in the background to show it directly in the next view.

Android Auto stopped working on Galaxy Fold 3

Android Auto has stopped working. I have a Galaxy Fold 3 that I have been using since November with the Uconnect in my 2018 Jeep Compass. It suddenly stopped working. It worked fine until today. I last used it about 2 weeks ago. The phone connects with the car via Bluetooth just fine. I am able to make calls and receive texts. When I connect the phone using my USB cable to use Android Auto, the phone shows that it is charging and I verified it is set to be able to transfer data. Instead of launching and connecting to Android Auto, the screen on the car tells me to follow directions on the phone screen to connect. The phone screen shows an Android Auto screen that shows it wants to start set up to connect (it used to connect without any issues) but when I hit the "next" button on the phone, Android Auto on the phone just shuts down. I cleared the cache & data for Android Auto, uninstalled & reinstalled Android Auto, verified my phone has all of its software updates, tried a different USB cable, reboot my phone, unpaired & then paired the phone to the car... nothing is working. My phone software updated on August 2nd. This is the first I've tried to use the Android Auto since the last phone software update. I've tried all of the suggestions on Android Auto's troubleshooting page. Can anyone help?
