Change # of rings

How do I change the number of rings before the call goes to voicemail? I've tried asking Google and get several different answers, none of which works on my Galaxy S9:

**61*901*11*30#
**61*101**30#
**61*121**30#
**61*321**30#

I always get this message: "Call forwarding. Connection problem or invalid MMI code. (801)"

I think I may have messed up my phone as when someone calls, my phone rings 2-4 times and then the caller gets the message "This number is not recognized." (or something like that)

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Help Navigation buttons (home, back and open apps) freeze up

Hello

New Samsung Tab S7 tablet, the second one in two weeks and both have the same issues. Probably 5 or 6 times in the last 30 mins the on-screen buttons for home etc simply freeze, when this happens the pull down to view notifications also stops responding.

The only solution is to either wait 1 minute or power the screen off for 30 seconds. Most of the time the second solution leaves me at the locked screen with the keypad buttons not responding.

I have very little installed that could be considered out the ordinary.

It's the latest version of Android 12.

I will have to send this one back in the next few days if I cannot find a fix. Any ideas?

Thanks

How To Download

I just got this device. The only website I can access is Yahoo, and I can't use my Hotmail email. Wify connects but I cannot access the web. It says it has the latest firmware update that was put out years ago. Everything else on the phone works, just not internet capabilities. I get server error messages when I try to connect.

Help Strange things are even worst..

So I have not got a chance to customize it via sliding up from the main app what so ever in ages, so I hopped over to themes, and the bubbles around wifi, mobile data et all still blue, I want to change it completely.. Whenver I try to customize it, my screen goes blank and all I can see is the check mark, and I ususally do this about every day, so I can get a fresh feel towards it. I know it sounds like a massive glitch.

Help Doogee X10 home/back button not working Calibration changed

Hi there,

I am new here on this forum. I have a Doogee X10 android 6 phone. I tried to flash it with SPFlash tools but I think I flashed it with wrong firmware. When I tried to switch it on it showed me only dim light nothing else. Later I downloaded the correct firmware and flash it again. Now when the phone boots, calibraton of buttons changed. Also buttons on the bottom of screen i.e. Home, Back (I dont know what is the third button calls) are not working. If I click on something, it clicks somewhere else. If dialpad opens up and I click on Home button it actually clicks on 5 on dialpad. It looks like calibraton data has been lost. Please help me what to do. I tried flashing 2,3 times with correct rom but same result. Any idea ???????

vid/pic sharing app like snapchat?

I have been using snapchat to share pics/vids of my kids with my family for years. The reason isn't for privacy but because of how convenient it is that:

1. It immediately opens to a camera that makes it easy to take a picture or video
2. Afterwards it is EXTREMELY easy to choose my family or friends or whoever else to send it to
3. The file size isn't upsurd for videos.

Here are the issues that are very inconvenient:

1. Family can't always save videos
2. There is no location data saved so it's harder to organize
3. In fact, even the file names are inconvenient
4. Snapchat doesn't use the camera app for android but just records the screen. So resolution is mostly garbage.... I know file size would be bigger if it wasn't, but I would take that.

As you can imagine, everyone on the receiving end hates dealing with it as they have to screenshot everything to save and it's very inconvenient post-send for me for reasons listed. However the convenience and quickness of taking the photo, savings and sending is just SO huge.

Is there an app that has similar pro's and solves my con's???

The closest I've found to having the pro's is possibly whatsapp since there is a widget straight to the camera, but the resolution of videos is even worse and you also can't choose between lenses to use or anything like that. I'm guessing it's a screen record but even worse quality.

Advice?

Cheap Prepaid Wireless?

I have a "backup phone" that I use only for emergencies or when a guest is visiting and needs a phone for a week. What prepaid wireless vendor has the cheapest minimum monthly charge, or maybe only charges you to fill up your account and has no monthly charge? I used to have a plan with AT&T where I could buy time in $10 increments and had no monthly charge. I would also like to get a domestic phone call rate of under 10 cents, and when I am called on the phone from overseas I do not want to pay an International rate for the incoming call. What are my best options?

This is How Low AT&T Has Sunk

I wanted to price AT&T wireless prepaid plans for a phone I rarely use. I called AT&T and after maybe 20 minutes of back and forth, the rep could not figure out what number to call for AT&T sales. She finally found a number 800-901-9878. When I call that no combination of voice or keys can get me past a prompt asking for an AT&T wireless phone number. When you say "I don't have one" you are directed to prompts that are irrelevant to a person wanting a new phone. Then they hang up on you.

So AT&T has become so dysfunctional that AT&T cannot direct me to their own sales people, and in spite of my persistence trying to get a sales quote, they just hang up on me.

AT&T is doomed.

Lock screen Clock position change (Android 9)?

Hello,

I'm new, sorry if I should have post elsewhere. Please kindly guide me to the correct location. :-)

I'm not an android developer, just a longtime hacker looking for some tips or hints.
I'm not much involve in smartphone I prefer laptop, so I miss a lot of Android background here.

My question is about how could I change the clock position on the lock screen?
I suppose there's some internal values editable elsewhere than from settings, right?

I don't have any custom settings on the smartphone an old Motorola Z2 Force which is still running Factory but upgraded Android 9.

My wish is just to move down the clock to some hundred of pixels to keep having a people picture in the background not having the clock in the face.

It's possible for sure, how?
I would appreciate some simple hint or trick for accomplishing that.

Thanks.
Regards,
Sylvain.

Google is adding better DNS support

https://www.androidpolice.com/android-dns-over-https-mainline/

While there are third-party apps that provide more extensive option controls to implement more secure and more private DNS servers, it's actually nice to see that Google is trying to add better DNS control into Android itself. The Internet has become such a toxic sewer that even baby steps to add more security is a plus.

Changing my main Google Account because GSuite is broken?

I've been a long time user of Google's G Suite account (now called Google Workspace) where my account is tied to my own domain name. This has been great but as time has gone on, I've found that more and more Google Services and functionality is restricted to not work with G Suite user accounts. Sometimes they are small things but other times they are big things. Things that once used to work, no longer do. Despite joining when Google gave free G Suite accounts, I am now paying for the service on a monthly basis but nothing has changed. I've been using Android exclusively since 2008 with my T-Mobile G1 and my main account has always been the G Suite account. All my apps/books/movies/tv shows etc are purchased under this account. I also have a free Google Account but I've added that as a secondary user account to the phone.

Is it possible to switch to my Google Account as my primary account and then setup the G Suite account as secondary? What things are difficult to transfer over?

Phone contacts on SD Card storage. (Waiting for new phone)

I am looking for instructions of how to store my phone contacts on the SD card in Android 10.
Please note: I am not interested in storing email address's there.
I have done multiple searches and all seem to be oriented towards Google sync on or off.

Is there a way to make my Contacts store on the SD card, so I can simply remove it and place it in another phone when and if mine fails.

I have a experienced a former problem with Google Sync, best expressed in this thread here:

Thanks,

Help Stuck in Bootloop (Keeps loading Samsung Logo) - Loads after Removing SIM Card

While playing a simple game my phone suddenly restarted, till it reached Samsung logo, and kept restarting over and over.
I tried to shut down the phone by long pressing power button, but it kept restarting.
Finally I figured out to take the SIM card off, and it could load!
After it loads, everytime I insert the SIM againg it suddenly restarts, and repeats the bootloop again.
I tried to insert a friend's SIM card, the phone loads, but once I insert the PIN code, it restarts again, and bootloops again!

I also tried the following with the SIM card removed:
  • I scanned the phone for viruses, it was clean;
  • Safe Mode: bootloops with SIM card initially inserted, and same issue happens once SIM card inserted after loading Safe Mode.
Edit:
I tried the following solutions:
  • Recovery Mode: I did only Wipe Cache, it did not solve;
  • Recovery Mode: I did factory reset, it did not solve;
  • Download Mode: I flashed stock ROM, did not solve (I did twice, once with and once without SIM card inserted);
  • Download Mode: Unlocked bootloader and flashed, did not solve!
Model: SM-G970F/DS Exynos.
Software: One UI 4.1, Android 12.

Help Error Ruining Friendship

My friend and I text pretty regularly. Starting this afternoon, I wouldn't get a specific message from her, despite how many times she would resend it. Because of the number of attempts with no successes (well, a half success, explained in a bit), she's blaming me for lying, since it logically doesn't make sense for me to not receive one message (that she even tried changing the phrasing) when others are fine.

I tried restarting my phone at least twice, force quitting the messages app, checking blocked messages (hers weren't in there), checking the word filter (empty), and I eventually convinced my friend to send the message in parts. I only got the first half of the message, so my phone is blocking the second half, for whatever reason.

She's giving up for tonight, but she is still mad at me. I don't blame her, since there should be no reason for this error.

Is there a way to fix this?
