Tech Forums: Re-Organized

As you've probably noticed, the forums have been re-organized into a system that SHOULD make a lot more sense moving forward.
tech-forums.png

Notes:
  • Android Help has become "Ask A Question" is at the top and anyone can ask any tech question there.
  • Android Devices has become "Smartphones" under the "Tech Products" Category.
  • Apple Devices has become "Tablets" under the "Tech Products" Category.
  • We'll strategically (attempt to) move threads about Android Tablets from "Smartphones" into "Tablets" as later date.
  • Manufacturers is now "Brands & Models".
  • It's likely that ALL threads for ALL brands get tagged with the brand name (ex: Samsung) and dumped into "Tech Products". The link for "Samsung" would then point to all threads tagged with "Samsung" (like this).
  • Android Lounge is now a forum in the "Software & Apps" Category
  • Carriers is unchanged... for now.
We'll still need a way to highlight the "best smartphones" etc... so people can access their tags as makeshift forums. And we'll also need a directory of ALL "smartphones" and other product types, although I'm not sure where that will live or how it will be linked.

How does this look? Make sense? Thoughts?

Moving onto sports, we'll have one forum for each league and teams will be organized and identified by tag, appearing in alphabetical order below the league name.

Galaxy Note 10 - can't get VOLTE to work

I have a Galaxy Note 10. I have just joined US Mobile on one of their Warp 5G plans. Before signing up, I entered the phone's IMEI to confirm that my phone is compatible.

I have manged to get my data service to work, but I have no mobile network service, in other words, I cannot make or receive calls or texts. I have followed all of the instructions given by US Mobile - I have set my Network Mode to LTE Only, I have turned off Data Roaming, and I have turned on VoLTE calls. I have put in the APNs that they listed. All that they can suggest is to reset my network settings, but I'm loathe to do that because I don't want to lose my saved Bluetooth and Wifi connections. And I suspect that might not work anyway.
PS I can't find Wifi Calling on my phone - could this be related or give a clue as to what the issue could be?

Any help would be most appreciated.

Boost mobile sucks

Leaving boost mobile because their customer support sucks. I called for phone device unlock code because I own phone and they stated will be available in 24hrs. I called the next day and every other day for next couple of weeks and they always had an excuse and failed to provide basic information. One of their agents hung up because they became frustrated after I kept asking to speak with their supervisor. Here's the number that's provided to all boost customers 833-50-BOOST (833-502-6678).
Now here's the number that's provided to in store reps, (until they change it) which seems to provide better customer service.

Trojan

Hi All,

Today my wife's Galaxy S7 (with Android 8) started to behave strange. It started to want her to install Google Pay (and ask for credit card number) and various things stopped working correctly. It also showed a second Chrome icon (looked a little bit different than the other one).
We suspected something malicious, so we tried to run through with different antivirus apps. Bitdefender picked up a 'Chrome.apk', that it got rid of, and 'Trojan.Banker.XO', which it cannot get rid of. We're not sure what it is or what it does, but we do trust Bitdefender's opinions to the fullest and would want to get rid of it before we use that phone for any more logins or bank stuff.

Anyone who can provide some help or further info about it (i.e. other than total factory reset)?

Testing app on a real phone

Hi all. I am working on an app in android studio. I decided to try testing it on my real smartphone, a samsung galaxy s20. It installed and ran ok. During this testing I made a few changes to the code and ran it again, and again, and again. When I was done I discovered that I had about 6 of the launch icons on my phone. I reasoned that the ide must create a new icon each time I run it from AS. So I deleted (uninstalled) the app from the phone. A few days later after more editing, I tried it again. To my surprise all 6 of the startup icons reappeared AND the newer code was not installed but the older code I had been testing previously was back on the phone. So I uninstalled it again and then went into the device manager and deleted the apps folders from /data/data/com etc. Another try but the same result.

Can someone tell me what’s going on here and how to fix it?
Thanks
