Samsung Note 8 does not appear in safely remove hardware of my windows 10 so this message will appear whenever I unplug my Note 8 cable from the USB port. How to prevent this message from appearing? Does it mean I am unplugging in a unsafe way that could damage my phone? Thanks

Hey everyone. I'm trying to transfer my whatsapp account/messages from an old phone to my new phone, and i'm having issues.

Just to clarify, both phones are Android (old phone is a Moto G Power, new phone is a Google Pixel 5a), and I don't believe I took a backup before I transferred my phone number. I've only tried performing backups on my old phone after the service was transferred.

So given all this, i've tried to backup my messages/service both locally and to Google Drive (with the same Google Drive account of course). For some reason, i'm not seeing any new files in my Google Drive after the backup, and my new phone isn't recognizing any backups in my Drive.

I've also tried taking all WhatsApp related files on my old phones storage and transferring them to my new phone before installing the app again, in the same location as before. WhatsApp doesn't seem to recognize it.

So i'm assuming all this is going on because my backups were all taken after my phone number was transferred, but I want to make sure before I have to switch services back and forth. Is this the problem i'm having? It's the only issue I could gleam from the support instructions, but they won't give any confirmation

Does anybody have any input?

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 tablet (SM-T805), which is running Android 6.0.1 - I don't think they update for this model any longer!

Just been staying at a hotel and saw a problem I've encountered before where in order to get on the free WiFi entails you need to go through a sign-in screen. However, when I click on the "go to sign-in screen" I get an error saying that it can't load www.google.com (ERR-CERT-AUTHORITY-INVALID) and the text indicates that this could be due to the connection being intercepted by the sign-in screen.

This is using Chrome 103.0.5060.71.

Just wondering if anyone knows a way round this issue and/or is this because the version of Android and security bits and bobs are too old to cope.

Sorry! I wanted to edit the subject but can't! It should read Color settings, not Cloud settings!

Hi there,

I have been getting on well with my A8 tablet, but....

I have somehow screwed up the color settings of my display and keyboard and cannot restore it to the original setup. For example, my keyboard now has yellow keys with blue letters & symbols, and the images have a definite yellow tinge.

I am fearful of using fixes described online because I don't want to accidentally do a full factory reset.

Is there a simple way to get back to a 'normal' looking screen please?

Thanks in advance,

Roger B

My phone crashed after falling in water, is there any home remedy? Thank you

So a weird thing happened and has me confused. Several months back my dad switched service providers. He got a new phone, number, and sim card. The old number will not deactivate (tracfone thing) til March of next year. Today he texted me, and it arrived from the old tracfone number. I texted back and it was actually him on his new phone. Does anyone know how this is possible. The old contact was removed and a new contact added. There are 2 separate text chains. So we have texted under the new number, but today all of a sudden the texts arrived under the old number.

Trying to put my photos on a RaspberryPi server, I got it to work by adding "
client min protocol = NT1
Client max protocol = SMB3
server min protocol = NT1
Server Max Protocol = SMB3"

to smb.conf in the "GLOBAL" section right after
workgroup = WORKGROUP

Then restart both smbd and nmbd.

There are security issues with SMB1 (NT1) so try this at your own risk.

RaspberryPi runs a version of Linux

Good Luck

Does anybody know that this icon from my status bar means? I have searched android icons and it's not in any of the tables I can find, nor is it in the user guide for my phone:

I have an LG Android smartphone that keeps vibrating every couple of seconds even though all notifications have been turned off??
This is extremely frustrating since it's not trying to alert me of anything, and if it were that would be disabled.
Can somebody please explain this to me, and provide a fix that doesn't include resetting the phone, losing everything I have saved??
Thanks up front!!

Not working at all, I tried a few times scanning it in with my phone, and logging in that way as well as my p.c., figure hell what is one device over the other too. So all I am getting is still the QR code screen of my ps3, I really want to dive into my old downloads as well as connect with cloud storage with different games, so I do not have to preset everything again and again, is tere a way how to just log in with my devices, or am I just as it putting in an extra step in and logging without my cell and no screen will ever pop up.

I installed a 3rd party lock screen to get rid of the emergency call ability when locked (because it's my phone and I don't do health and softy, use your own phone to call an ambulance), but Google Pay gets upset because I "don't have a lock screen". Any way round this?

Anyone tell me what these icons are?

It's a ge. I don't know much more about it except that it's accidentally been switched on and the only way I could stop it was by opening the door a little. Now it's closed but the green lights are on, and the one to the left is blinking. I have no idea what model it is, though probably about five years old, and of course no service manual.

Als ik het belletje,stille modus aantik om uit te zetten hoor ik een meldings toon,hoe zet ik dat uit??

I have an idea what if this could work
1.get carrier unlocked
2. Download other countries firmware for our phone.
Install it using Odin

3 because it's from another country oem unlocking should be available in developer settings
Then I should be able to unlock bootloader through traditional way of adb ?
Does this sound like it could work
I acually think it would !
By the way I found out through metro that if you want to unlock your phone to any carrier and you for example ,bought it at Walmart for metro pcs ,you actually have to go back to Walmart and they unlock it there.

Hi all, I am trying develop an app to show currently playing media's metadata on a TextView. I will connect two Android devices via Bluetooth (my phone and a tablet). The tablet will run my app and the phone will play music. The app will show the song title and the artist information (independent from the media player app e.g. Spotify, YouTube Music etc.) on their respective "TextView"s. At this point, I am just trying to acquire and show the media metadata on my phone. I tried MediaSessionController and NotificationListener so far but I couldn't achieve my goal. How can I get the media metadata? Also, I plan to move on to the Bluetooth part after acquiring the song title. Is this approach logical? Any suggestions will be appreciated.

My new Boxing Timer app has been released. This app was originally conceived as a multifunctional martial arts interval timer. Wide settings, timer control in gloves, if it is not possible to press it with your hands (through the proximity sensor), work in the background, the ability to set any time and any intervals, voice rounds and many more very useful features not only for martial arts, but also for running, walking and any physical activity.
The app has a premium version. Each reader of this forum who will contact the mail in the application description will receive a promotional code for a free subscription. And yet, I will be very grateful to everyone who puts 5 stars to the application. This will help me a lot. Thank you)

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite SM-T220 with Android 11 and all software
updated. I start my digital day by choicing a news app from several I have in
one folder. Recently a few times when I open an app, not any particular one, after the app has
opened and I chose an item to read it goes back to the folder. Despite repeating
opening sequence the result is the same. If I then restart the tablet then all is
well and acts as normal. Whilst I know it is not strictly necessary, from habit
using previous Android versions, I generally close each app when I finish so that
only one app is running. I definitely close all apps before switching off.

I have Bitdefender Security, paid version, installed and it has not reported any
problem.

I have tried online searches to find running apps but none of them so
far have led to settings as my tablet. Guidance on how would also be appreciated in anticipated of future problems

Not a serious problem at this stage but an annoyance.
Help, ideas anybody

Old phone is faulty, switch on a few seconds/minutes and it will auto shut down.

If I am unable to access the old phone,
1) If I take out SIM card of old phone and put into new phone, in the new phone can I install whatsapp and use in the new phone? Old phone has already installed whatsapp using the same SIM card.
2) If I take out SIM card of old phone and put into new phone, what data will I be missing from the old phone?
3) If I take out SIM card of old phone and put into new phone and use the new phone for some months, then I repair the old phone, can I still get back all the data e.g. whatsapp/sms/photos... in the old phone?

Thanks

Hello!

I'm a Virtual Assistant for a company that creates apps for churches mostly.
We have a few apps on the Play Store, their icons there look great, but once you download them, their icons display as a perfect square once they're installed on a smartphone, but the icon on the Play store has rounded corners.

I've reached to our support team but they suggested redesigning the icon and adding rounded corners, which basically is not what Google's guidelines states.
I reached out to Google as well (see attached), then they suggested using Android forums for design help.

We have followed Google's design guidelines but still doesn't work.

It's been already tested on different devices: Galaxy note 20 - Galaxy s21+ - Galaxy tablet 5 - Galaxy note 8 - Galaxy A03s - Motorola E6 Play

I even tried downloading a different App icon pack from the Samsung Galaxy Store and it was the same (for a Samsung A03s).

We know that there are apps or different Android devices that let you modify the aspect of the app icon itself, but we just want to have these apps displaying their app icon with rounded corners once you install them as default, like any of the rest of the apps you can download from the Play Store.

Not a developer here. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I am using an Umidigi A9 pro phone with 128G of storage and Android 10. I want to do a factory reset to fix some problem and to get rid of many unused or junk applications. There are many entries on the web about backup and restore for factory reset. But I want to clarify a couple of things before I start the factory reset.
1. Most entries on the web suggest backup the phone to Google account before the reset. But a Google account only have 15G of free cloud storage. I have already used 70G out of the 128G storage. If I do not want to purchase storage from Google, is there any easy way to backup all Apps and storage data to PC and allow a easy restore to the phone after the reset ?
2. It looks simple that if I backup to a Google account, I can just restore by specifying the account and it will magically restore using the backup data stored under that account. But restoring from Google account backup data seems to be a complete restore. This will not help to get rid of many unused or junk applications. Is there any way that I can do selective restore (i.e. just restore what I need) ?
