Help Cannot fully uninstall Snapchat

(I am using the Samsung Galaxy J2 s260dl, i specify because i may have uploaded this to the wrong forum because i am new.)
So, a while back i used an app store to install a beta version of snapchat, but now, it will not update to the latest version at all. I am stuck on 10.88.5.71 Beta when the latest version is 11.7.0.62. When i uninstall the app and go to google play to install it, i click the install button, and it instantly installs right back to 10.88.5.71 Beta. I have also tried installing it through an APK of the latest version and i get the error "App Not Installed". And if i try to use ADB on my computer to install it, it refuses to work.
I don't know how to fully remove snapchat from my phone and i have tried all but rooting it. And if i root it, i may mess up and brick my phone or have to wipe it. Besides, it wont allow me to enable OEM unlock to try and root it anyways and i have tried my best to enable that. I feel like a factory wipe would be the only solution but after a wipe, i dont know how to reactivate my phone. So i'm trying to go about this without wiping it if possible, but if that's the only way, well that would be pretty sucky.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Is there a way to force snapchat to install with ADB or something regardless of whatever error it may have? Like, is there a command that i can type that will just force-install the app to my phone?

Help Cannot install certain apps on my Samsung Galaxy J2 Prime after factory reset

Hey there!

I have this Samsung Galaxy J2 Prime (bought around three years ago). As it was getting annoyingly slow I decided to factory reset it. Okay, it got too much better but now it doesn't let me to install some applications. Specifically I am trying to install the 'Airbnb' app and actually when I look for this in Google Store it doesn't even show up in the list. If I search in Google using Chrome I do find it but when I tap the install button it says that my 'device is not compatible with this version'. The funny part is that I had the very same app version installed before to reset the phone and it worked fine then so I KNOW that it is able to run it.

So I checked the OS version and it says it is Android 6.0.1. I think this is the problem. Along the last three years it may have updated my Android for a newest version (I don't know which one) and probably when I factory reset it I may got too much back in time. :(

Now the question is: how can I force it to update to a newest Android version?

I tried config >> software update >> download updates manually but it didn't work -- it turns a wheel for a few seconds (looking for available updates) and after a while it says that the latest updates are already installed (and don't let me do anything else).

The only things that passed through my mind so far was to bring it to a maintenance store or bang my phone with a hammer and buy a new one. LoL!

:oops:

However I was looking for less drastic options... Any idea???

Volume Settings - A 7.1.2 - Aquaris M5.5

I want to have the ringer silent, with no vibration, and be able to set all other volume controls as I prefer.
I never accept calls, but want to be alerted, when I receive notifications from some specific apps, by a sound.

I am using a BQ Aquaris M5.5 mobile phone.
It appears the BQ brand no longer exists (I have been gifted the device).

Is it possible to upgrade the os?

Android version: 7.1.2
Kernel version: 3.10.49-g5190b11
Build number: 5.2.0_20180228-1302

Thanks.

Muter, Mute your microphone with volume keys

HT0nKOpVYtZXghe1RD5O4DsyLBQxfyMiWrFB8h31DzsJ5s7b7Lir5Gd7iqovOA9F40-3=s180-rw


Get it from Google Play

During any audio/video call, by pressing your phone's volume up or Volume down key (depending on your preference), you can mute or un-mute your phone's microphone with ease.
Begin your audio or video call as usual. While listening you can press the volume +/- to mute your microphone. Meanwhile you can go to any other apps or browse the internet or even lock your phone and put it in your pocket. When it is time for you to talk, just press the volume +/- again and instantly your microphone will be un-muted and you can speak.

FlorisBoard (a new FOSS keyboard)

As some here will know, I have a great many issues when using/choosing a keyboard to use on Android.

So, when a keyboard comes around that seems to have promise and satifies most of my needs, I try it out.

This one is still in the testing stages, and it may be of some help to others when it is complete.

As it is not yet available via normal means on F-Droid yet (you must use the IzzySoft repository) I am putting a link to the GitHub page for it.

Perhaps some of my friends on this forum can help the dev(s) work out any issues and/or bring other items to attention.

S10 not auto reconnect to wifi

Hi to all.
I'm using a Samsung S10, ver 10.
It's a strange one.
If I go out of the house, even to the garden, I lose my wifi signal, which is fair enough.
When I go back into the house it shows a full wifi signal at the top.
I look in settings and it says connected.
(Sometimes it says connected without wifi)
But it's not connected because I can't connect to internet with browser.
I've got it set to automatically reconnect.
I have to go to settings, turn off the wifi and turn it back on.
Then I'm OK unless I leave the house.
My wife doesn't have the problem with her phone, and my 2 computers and Google Home speakers are ok.
It's annoying because I end up forgetting, then find I've missed several Whatsapps once I remember to turn wifi off/on.
Any ideas?
Is there a way I can reset the phone wifi settings?
Or something?
Thanks for any help you can give.
Paul

No email notifications / badges after update

My att S20+ had a software update over the weekend. While some nice changes were included, I've lost some functionality that I can't seem to get back. Side note: using nova launcher pro.

I use K9 mail and I no longer get notifications for new mail once it has arrived. I have to keep opening K9 to see if I have anything new.

Additionally, I no longer have notification badges on my apps, like email and text (I use textra).
