Downloaded apps

Hi there,
I have a Galaxy Tab S2 with an extra memory sd-card.
Quite a lot of the apps I have installed can be shifted to the sd-card but every now and then (I presume after updates) they get shifted back automaticaly to the main memory.
Is this normal and is there a way to keep them on the sd-card ?
Kind regards, and stay safe.

Is a HALF-STITCH of Gear360 video possible?

If you watch a Gear360 video before the two fish-eye circle frames are stitched, you realize that it is easier and more enjoyable to watch the front and back views simultaneously rather than rotating the 360 sphere view that results from stitching. I would like to stitch ONLY the left edge of the one circle to the right edge of the right circle creating a flat video showing both front and rear views in the same frame.

I like to put my Gear360 on a selfie stick and walk through a scene. Merging the front and rear camera views of the Gear360 makes for a great way to give the viewer much more information than requiring him/her to rotate the scene in a 360 viewer.

So, is there a way to only stitch half of a two-camera 360 view so I remains a normal video file that does not require a 360 viewer? [GALLERY=media, 377]Half-stitch by NYCPaull posted May 2, 2020 at 10:58 AM[/GALLERY]

Moving/force-installing apps onto the SD card?

I've set my removable SD card to be used as internal storage. Some apps still install to the "original" internal storage (and I get it, some apps do, thanks How-To Geek for explaining).

I'd like to move some of them to the SD card, as I'm already running out of space again and have barely made a dent in my list of apps that I had on the old phone. But I can't see how even though I think I should be able to. Help please.

Also, is it possible to force apps to install on the SD card, instead of installing and then moving (if even that's possible)?

My phone is a Moto G2 running Android 6.0.

RING TONE PROBLEM

My phone does not a ring when I receive email messages. It has always done so in the past .
I have checked ring volume. It is on maximum. I have checked the other ring device button on the right hand side of the phone and that is on full. The email just sent from the Android forum, just sent, has not set off the ring tone. How can it be fixed.? Please reply in step by step basic, non techy language. Do not assume I know anything! I do hear the ring tone when if I disable it or reset it to high again. It's just not working when messages come in.

Max watts charge a Note 5 can take

Tesla also has two other 7.5 watt USB port which I can also connect to that same phone charger to deliver 15 watts per phone. My question is what is the maximum amount of wattage my Note 5s can' accept?

Help Note 9 issue after weekly restart

Hi,

I just performed my weekly restart of my note 9, and now every minute or so I'm getting a message on the bottom of the screen saying "restart the application". It fades away after a few seconds and doesn't interfere with any actions, but I can already see this is going to be a huge annoyance! I've tried rebooting again, but it doesn't help, and obviously I have no idea what app I'm supposed to be restarting. Has anyone else has this issue or ideas for a fix? Thanks!

Changing phone carriers and phone is locked

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this question. Apologies if it's not!

I bought my phone directly from Google through a trade-in program about a year ago and set it up immediately with Verizon. This month, I tried to switch my phone line to T Mobile, but when I put in the new T-mobile SIM card, I get an error message saying "SIM card isn't supported. Ask Verizon if this device can be unlocked."

I've spoken to T Mobile, Verizon, and Google. Here is what each said:

T mobile: When they put out the request for Verizon to transfer my phone line, it should automatically unlock my phone. If it's not working, I should contact Verizon.

Verizon Agent #1: When you get the phone from Google and set it up with Verizon, Verizon then locks the phone (something about after x number of days). Directed me to another Verizon help line.

Verizon Agent #2: Verizon doesn't lock phones unless it has been reported missing/stolen or if there's a payment due. Since neither of those were true, the agent said I should contact the retailer I bought my phone from, which is the Google Store.

Google: Help agent tried a couple different solutions: Solution 1 - turn on Developer option to enable "OEM unlocking." When I tried this, the OEM unlock option was disabled/grayed out with the message "Unavailable on carrier-locked devices". Solution 2 - Factory reset. This didn't work. He finally told me to contact Verizon because my phone says it is "carrier-locked".

Before I pull my hair out talking to another agent, does anyone have any idea what is going on and how I can unlock my phone? Appreciate any help. Thanks!

Help Unwanted apps

I made the mistake of installing Weather Home app on my S7 edge and when I go to uninstall it, the uninstall button is grayed out and I can't uninstall it.

Additionally, a brand new bunch of bloatware apps (News, Market, Videos, Personalize, Games) invaded my phone and I can't find any way to get rid of them. They don't show up in Settings->Apps and when I hold them down, all I get is a menu with edit, widgets and app info options. How do I get rid of this crap and how can I prevent further invasions like it.

Oppo reno 2 built in messages app failure

Hello there,

I recently bought oppo reno 2 phone. I set it up and I came across an issue with built in messages app. I open it up and it closes within a second or two. Does anybody else have the same problem or had in the past and know how to fix it? I did a hard reset, back to factory settings, but nothing helped. Started to think its a phone itself. The rest off the apps works fine. Any help will be much appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

AVD crash on close

Hello everyone,

I have an issue using my AVD with Android Studio. When I attempt to close the AVD clicking the little cross next to it, it causes my PC to crash/freeze. I have to wait for a few minutes, and during that time it's a complete freeze, I can't do anything. I tried ctrl+alt+suppr but it seems that my PC isn't able to compute my inputs during this freeze. Once it was so long I had to shut down my computer the hard way, holding the power button because the freeze was never-ending.

I joined the configuration of my AVD.
The configuration of my computer is :
I5 7600K, 16GB RAM, GTX1080
Windows, Android Studio, and the AVD are installed on a SSD.
My Android Project is on an HDD.

My English might not be perfect, it is my native language (did my best though).

Thank you for your help and attention.
