have recently switched to boost from att. Att signal sucked where I live. Everyone that lives around me has boost with no problems. Had my number ported and was put on expanded network. First month of service there was no service couldn't even make a phone call. Finally used neighbors phone and boost noncustomer service told me I used all my data, I just laughed. Went to town (26 miles one way) to speak to boost rep, after 3.5 hours of being there with him on phone with tech support they made decision g7 play wasn't compatible with the expanded network and reverted it back to old network. ( Breach of verbal contract given right back to ATT because dish bought all existing boost customers on old network) I switched from att because crappy service and data throttling. Second month at least I could make phone calls but no internet called customer service and they said I used all my data 3 days into 2nd month mind you I switched from att for the $50 unlimited data plan 12 gig hotspot and all the sudden there is a data cap 35 gigs. At this point 2nd day of 3rd month data speed test is 0.2 MBS DLS 0.24 upload speed is there something wrong with g7 play phones I need some advice half the time I have a ! In my signal bars but still says LTE but no internet access. Any information on this one

Help wifi exclamation mark on note 9 rooted

I have the The Note 9 N960F running SuperStable Rom android 10 its rooted with magisk 20.4 it was a clean flash didn't have nay problems when I flashed it. The only problem is I get the wifi exclamation mark it appears every couple of minutes. I have to disconnect and reconnect my wifi from my phone and it goes away but comes back. its not my wifi since my other devices connect with no issues. Is there a fix?

Appworthy.

So after my windows comp died, I really learn and adapt of this one app that is all in one DNLA server, to really download your photos, music, and the entire ball of wax app, all share it works, been downloading some of my photos to my ps3.

I used to have to connect with comp, with the usb cord, work through at least a dozen or so folders, save them, trying to find a new folder to keep them in, and then connect the usb to the ps3, yeah.. Did that for several years, and now I have mimized at least around 14 minutes of work, instead of cutting it down.

The only downside though, is waiting but this way I can have my photos without worrying them about it too much hassle.

So if you are looking for a much shorter craft, either file transper or see a movie, bleh of over watching movies anyways, I would not want to watch any shows I can get for nothing but a dvr timer..

(Admins, not so sure where to put this, though I might as well put in the gaming thread.)

Phone is In between Carriers

So I decided to switch my wife's phone from Consumer Cellular to Visible. Ordered the SIM. It came this morning. checked with Visible and they advised to download their app to the phone, install the SIM and boot the phone. Now the phone showed no service. Checked Consumer Cellular account, and it was disabled. Contacted Visible and they did a bunch of digital mumbling and advised me the phone would not activate because Consumer cellular had deactivated the phone, and it needed to be active. Consumer Cellular did the deactivation on the request of Visible, not me. Am I wrong to be pissed? Any ideas on a solution that will keep the same number?

Best Spam Call Blocking App?

I've been on a mission to find the best call blocking app. I've tried just about them all. They key really is who has the largest most up-to-date database to not only identify who the caller is (even if their Caller ID number has no name associated with it in their carrier's database).

It basically has come down to Whoscall, Hiya, and Truecaller. All the others, the user base is too small to have that big of a database as these databases rely on users submitting names associated with the numbers or flagging calls as spam.

I used Whoscall but recently it seems to not block a lot of spam calls so I went back to the drawing board and revisiting all the major apps in this category.

Truecaller there's some bad reviews from the past that if you give it access to your contact list, it will download all your contact information and add it to their database. After some more digging, it appears this is no longer the case because they got such bad press. Allowing access to your contact list is only necessary if you want to block all incoming calls that are not in your contact list. I find that feature too heavy handed as you get a lot of legit calls that may not be in your contact list.

Hiya is less full featured, but unlike Truecaller it doesn't require you to make it your default dialer, which may or may not be attractive to some users. Supposedly it uses the same database as another popular app Mr. Number, which helps make the database larger by combining input from users of both apps. But it's interface and feature set is lacking compared to Truecaller. Truecaller appears to be by far the most installed app for spam call blocking.

What I ended up doing is installing both! And for the first few days, I was surprised with the results as I expected Truecaller to be more 'accurate' based on a larger installed userbase. It wasn't. Hiya gave more accurate names for the callers without a name on their caller ID so their database appears to be for whatever reason more accurate. In addition, a couple of the most annoying (always calling daily) spam calls I get, Hiya blocked them, Truecaller didn't.

I may uninstall Truecaller for a while to make sure it's not blocking the spam just because for whatever reason Hiya is blocking it before Truecaller has a chance to. I would be surprised if that's the case since Truecaller is my default dialing app for making/receiving calls and Hiya isn't.

I'd be curious to hear other people's experiences over time with any call blocking apps.

Portable apps on an android

There are portable apps that will run on a thumb drive with any kind of OS - Windows, Linux, iOS. Is there a portable app that will run on android? I would love to install a portable version of Firefox and a password vault on the mini-sd card in my phone. I know I could just try to install it, but I am afraid that failure might not be an indication that it is not possible :(

Help went with cheap smartwatch

It was sort of the testing of the pool water by putting in my big toe. I bought a cheap smartwatch on ebay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Bluetooth-...var=641800998695&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

(it says 'samsung-iPhone'. I bought this even though I have a Motorola phone)

The smartwatch wants me to install SimvalleySmartwatch-APP to my phone but this app is not on Google Play and I can got to https://simvalley-smartwatch.en.softonic.com/android to download APK, but Android does not allow me to install it. Yikes!

Google Play does have other Smartwatch apps, but I tried one and it does not seem to work with this watch. Is there a recommended Smartwatch app? is there a recommended Smartwatch?
