Help What is the ribbon connection to the back cover of the Samsung Galaxy J6

Hello everyone, I wanted to get to my rear camera to try and blow some dirt out of it, so I took off the back panel of my phone. It seems there was a ribbon connector coming up from the top of the battery to some ribbon circuitry glued to the back panel - in removing the panel I broke this connector.

Can anyone tell me what this connector/circuity does? The phone seems to still work, touch wood - but I've only quickly tested it.

Thanks all

Screen glitched split down the middle.

Currently my Stylo 4 is a glitched grey screen. It is split in half vertically, one side a lighter grey than the other. I had it plugged in to charge and I walked away for 20 minutes or so (was fine) and returned to find it like this. I have tried soft resets to no avail. My only guess is the charger as there has been zero physical damage to the phone. More recently, the charger has been "charging slowly". Is it possible this could cause some kind of damage? A bit at a loss as to what I can do to try and fix this.

Rocket Booster app

Hello. I have a problem with my device. It is Honor 6 H60-L04. The problem is an app that randomly pops up on my screen. It is some kind of rocket booster. It appears every week one or two times. I also uploaded pictures of background running processes at the time it pops. I think it can be the Android HwResolver because i saw it for the first time while the app was running. The rocket booster can be seen on the right side of the photo. If i drag it down the rocket will appear and it will say that it boosted my phone. I havent installed any booster app or something like that. Also i checked my phone with Eset Security and Malwarebytes with no malware found. I will like to get rid of it.

I am having an issue with delayed messages coming thru.. have been thru all the settings with a Rep over the phone and even had my sim card changed out in the store etc.. etc... anyone else experiencing this? Phone or carrier issue ? any feed back would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Customized notifications messages versus Gmail notifications

I apologize if this question has been answered already. (couldn't find it on the Forum)

While I can set up customized ringtones for specific contacts I cannot set up customized message notifications for specific contacts without it changing my Gmail notifications. Or if I try and set a customized notification for for all GMail, it will then change the notification sound for all messages.

I have also changed message applications from Messages to Verizon messages + with the same outcome.

In the past when I received a text message from my loved one (I had a specific notification sound) I knew to read it right away just as when they called their customized ringtone gave me a heads up.

I could tell you all the ways I have tried to make Gmail sound notifications different from messages and making customized notification sounds for specific contacts and not have it effect GMail, but I don't want to bore you.

Thus my question is: Has this capability died? If so, then I will not wrack my brain anymore.

Android Studio: Connecting to Local SQLExpress Server

I am trying to connect to a local SQL server, but I'm getting exceptions. Code is below.

public class ConnectionClass {

String ip = "ipaddress\\servername";
String db = "databasename";
String un = "Username";
String password = "Password";

@SuppressLint("NewApi")
public Connection CONN() {
StrictMode.ThreadPolicy policy = new StrictMode.ThreadPolicy.Builder().permitAll().build();
StrictMode.setThreadPolicy(policy);
Connection conn = null;
String ConnURL = null;
for (int tries = 0; tries < 3; tries++) {
try {
Class.forName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver");
ConnURL = "jdbc:sqlserver://" + ip + ";databaseName=" + db + ";user=" + un + ";password=" + password + ";";
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(ConnURL);
return conn;
} catch (SQLException se) {
Log.e("ERRO", se.getMessage());
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
Log.e("ERRO", e.getMessage());
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("ERRO", e.getMessage());
}
}
return conn;
}
}

When I don't include the port number (1433) in the connection string. It says there is a TCP issue.

When I do, it times out and says to check if UDP traffic is blocked by firewall on port 1434 (it isn't) and to make sure SQL Browser is running (it is).

Any ideas?

Encrypted SD Card

I previously had a Samsung S9+ and was using a SD card for storage of all my photos and also had 'encrypted' the SD storage card. Well, my phone broke, and now I have a new Samsung S9+ but am unable to access my photos on the SD card as they were encrypted on a different phone. Is there any way to remedy this. PLEASE!!
