Software update

Back in March 2023 I used the aforementioned app from Google Play specifically for the "Ongoing Notification Hider" capability. I needed to disable the Media Output Notification tied to my music player (Tidal). This was the only method that I found to work for my phone (after hours of trying).

Now I'd like to manage this setting to troubleshoot an issue I'm having with MacroDroid, however - I find that the app was unpublished from Google Play. Does anyone know of another app that has this specific capability that I can download from Google Play? I'd rather avoid downloading an apk unless it's directly from the original creators of the app (which I was unable to find).

Thanks.

Hello Folks:

TL;DR Is there a site, or other service, that can tell me if a phone is locked if I provide the phone's IMEI?

History

I'm done paying AT&T $90.00 a month for two phones, no network and no unlimited talk.

I purchased two unlocked Galaxy A14 5G phones from Back Market for $111.00 and 112.00.

When FedEx delivered the phones I ordered two $15.00 per month unlimited introduction plans from Mint. Mint SIMs were shipped.

I backed up my two $62.00 Galaxy J2 Dash phones to my computer and moved the SIM and SD cards to the two A14 phones.

Both phones worked with my current AT&T service. I was going to switch to Mint after the SIMs arrived.

I love these Galaxy A14 phones. I'm learning to appreciate why people might want to spend more than $62.00 for a phone.

First phone, reported lost or stolen and locked

After several hours one of the phones stopped working. The message I received suggested that phone was no longer connected to a valid AT&T account.

When I chatted with AT&T support I learned that one of the phones I just purchased was tagged as lost or stolen. When I mentioned that I was leaving AT&T I was also informed that the phone was locked.

The phone has been returned and Back Market emailed me that a refund is on the way.

Second phone, locked

The SIMS arrived so I attempted to activate the Mint sim in the remaining A14.

After I gave the Mint support person the phone's IMEI number he chatted back:

Thanks for patiently waiting. I already double check your device
here in my system and here's the system shows :

DEVICE NAME : Galaxy A14 5G
MODEL : SM-A146U
MANUFACTURER : SAMSUNG
Phone Status : LOCKED

Back Market support asked for a screenshot of the error message. They also told me that they checked, and the phone is on, which it is, I'm using it with my AT&T account. I really like this phone.

I don't have a screenshot of the message, but pasted Mint support's comment into the chat.

Back Market wants a screenshot, but has expressed a willingness to refund my money.

Suggestions?

I'm relying on AT&T and Mint support to tell me my phone's status.

Is there a site where I can enter the IMEI number and see for myself if a particular phone is locked? If this happens again I'd rather understand the situation immediately instead of relying on support. This would also give me the ability of taking a screen shot of the phone's status for Back Market support.

What are other people's experience when dealing with Back Market?

Two out of two locked phones sold as unlocked doesn't sound good.

The truth is that this is a small sample size. Am I just unlucky?

Bucks are tight right now. I really need phones that are in the $100.00 to $150.00 range. After the Galaxy J2 Dash I'm spoiled for the Galaxy A14 experience. I've looked at reviews and I don't think I'll find a satisfactory new phones in that price range.

Is there another market for refurbished cell phones? Do any of you have something nice gathering dust in a box you'd like to part with for a good price? I'm looking for an unlocked phone with a headphone jack, a battery that a technician can replace and a nice camera. 5G is not a requirement.

The good news is that Mint gives me three months to activate the SIMs and Back Market seems willing to refund my money. I'd just like to cut ties to AT&T before the billing cycle starts again in two weeks.

Thanks
Larry

After my tirade last night about the inconsistency of officiating I went to bed thinking about possible improvements to what is now in place. I'm creating this tread in the NFL but it pertains to all sports and their questionable officiating. There needs to be major changes that don't slow the games down. The games are already slowed by challenges and reviews to the point that they distract from the games. As I was dozing off I considered AI. Why not? It would be lightening fast and be indisputable and non biased. It would remove those judgement calls that are so often blown. It just crossed my mind again so I did a quick Google search. I'm not the first to consider AI as a tool for officiating. Here is a link to my first search hit:

There is likely good and bad with any change. I'm not happy with sorry calls and no calls. Would AI change the flavor of the games for better or worse entertainment?

Does anybody know what app uses this icon in the middle with heart and a phone? For a context, it might be a samsung app, possibly an old one, but I'm not sure since as far as i know Samsung's health app doesn't use that icon

I have noticed some apps that I don't use often change to disabled in the okay store and don't auto update
You have to go into play store click in the app and choose enable and then click update

How do I have it update even apps that are not enabled as you could click in an unused app that was not updated and be missing updates

Samsung Galaxy s21 ultra

I had no idea there was a Women's National Football League

https://www.wnfcfootball.com/

What app is this icon for??

I have Samsung A32 5G running Android 13 and Google Messages with RCS turned on. I text with about 20 people, but in Google Messages only about 3 of them in the main screen show RCS. Some of the people I text with use Android and some use iPhone, Why do not more of them show RCS? Do they also have to have RCS turned on in their messaging app?

Can you help?

I have rooted this phone z fold 3 F926B/DS exynos on THREE UK while ago and I am now looking to return this phone to stock firmware. I have relocked the bootloader and I am trying to flash stock firmware, via ODIN. However, each time it fails on Re partition error. Can anyone help me solve this?

Hey all, I seem to have somehow managed to misplace my phone, and after using the Google online 'Find My Phone' website, cannot find it, even though it is showing that it's in my house somewhere....
It is slowly running out of charge, and playing a sound, nor calling the phone is allowing me to find it, so I am trying to find out if there is any way that I can remotely use my laptop to get the phone to Shut down?? Keep in mind that I do not have physical access to the phone, so cannot install any apps on the device, but since I can use the Google website to cause the phone to ring, without an app installed on it I am thinking there could be a way to cause it to shut down from a website. At least I am hopeful, that I may stop the battery from completely losing charge before I can find it.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated, and Thanks in advance!!

Hi, First of all, i want to thank you for your existence
I have problems. My good friend gave me his application for barber booking, which was very simple. He quit using this app because he stopped doing his job as a barber, so he gave me his app. My problem is how to make some changes on this application—not crucial, just to change the title, images, logo, background images, etc. or does anyone have a simple tutorial on on how to make a booking application using Android studio. (Flutter). So does anyone have tutorial step by step how to create a simple barber booking app?
Thanks in advance

Hello, fellow Android enthusiasts! I want to share my recent experience with KeyApp, a platform I've come across that has proven to be quite valuable in promoting mobile applications.

KeyApp stands out as a versatile tool for app developers seeking to make their mark in the highly competitive mobile app landscape. What I've found particularly impressive is its effectiveness in helping applications gain more exposure.

While KeyApp has many strengths, there's always room for improvement. I'd appreciate an expanded selection of educational resources tailored to developers, including tutorials and guidance for optimizing app visibility on the platform. Furthermore, while KeyApp provides basic metrics, offering more in-depth analytics would be beneficial for app developers to gain a deeper understanding of their app's performance.

In conclusion, KeyApp offers a valuable avenue for app promotion, helping apps garner increased visibility within a crowded marketplace. If you're a developer looking for an effective platform to promote your app, I recommend exploring what KeyApp has to offer. I'm confident it will assist you in achieving your app promotion objectives. Utilize this platform to its full potential and elevate your apps to the next level!

Yes, it's the 2021 model. I have looked all over for it. I have read the manual, used the camera's own help, etc. Where could night mode be?

Halloween was always my favorite holiday... especially when I was young. I never was a big candy eater but the adventure of being out after dark dressed had a particular calling. Walking the neighborhood with friends and finding the houses that had the candied apples or popcorn balls was a mission. I was always a bum wearing old ripped up jeans and one of my father's old flannel shits. A burnt cork rubbed on my face for makeup. It was good times.

I tried to make the holiday special for my children as well. I went with them when they were little and I dressed up too. When they were old enough to make it on their own, I still dressed up and handed out the candy at my house. It was a far more innocent time when I was a child but still a safe world for my children. As the years went on there were fewer children at my door. So few that the last decade or so I've thrown a Halloween party at the cabin and wasn't even home to hand out the goodies. This year I plan to be home. I'm guessing zero tricksters. I bought candy just in case and I hope I'm wrong about no little guys at my door.

Is Halloween a thing of the past at your corner of the world? Do you have any special plans for holiday? Any special Halloween memories you want to share.

After leaving my phone charging in the other room, i kept having to go and relock the phone because it would unlock and the youtube shorts would play and make noise.

Why does my phone keep unlocking without me touching it?

I felt like this has been happening frequently in my pocket by accident, but until today i didnt realize how often it unlocks without the chance of me hitting the unlock button.

My phone has no pin protection but it does have accidental touch enabled. Any help would be appreciated as this is somewhat annoying. Thanks!

Je suis arrivé sur cet écran dans les options pour développeur il y avait quelque chose à 752 sans faire exprès je l'ai mis à un et d'un coup ma tablette s'est mis à buggé et ça met cet écran et si j'essaie de la rétendre ça refait ça à l'infini

I just updated from s10e, where I was using the Nova 7 launcher to make Home page grid adjustments, including the display of the home page dock icons



With s23 I'm using the Good Lock launcher, but if there is a setting to adjust the dock area, I can't find it. I need to increase their size.



How can i get this done? I haven't tried Nova 7 yet. I wasn't totally pleased with the way it behaved with the s10e, but I'm suspect that was at least partially due to the lack of it's OS compatibility & capabilities?

Is there a simple way to get this done?

Hi, I just copied something to the clipboard but I can't find it. I figured it would be under settings. I guess it isn't. Please help me find it.

Hi, I'm on a Motorola g14 w/ Android 13 and need to deactivate Dolby Atmos completely.

If I just switch it off it returns active every time I connect my bt headphones. Which is very annoing.

Is it possible to simply deactivate Dolby Atmos for ever?

Thanks!

Is it possible to set a fingerprint password for the secure folder only without a pin? I keep getting asked for fingerprint or pin. I just want fingerprint for that folder only.
If I can, will some kind person talk me through it. My phone is Samsung A52s.
Thanks
