Help Notification volume shuts off on it's own

Hello, I have a stylo 4 running on the T-mobile network. For sometime now I noticed that was not getting notification sounds. After some investigation I discovered my volume had been turned off on notifications. I turned the volume on and all the way and begin receiving sounds.

Later, I noticed again I was not getting sounds for notifications. I checked the volume and noticed again the volume was turned off.

It seems to be resetting by itself. Has this happened with anyone else?

search in contacts with a lot of the same contact

If I search in my contacts app in android 7.0 for a certain word for example a frontname, I get a huge results (more than 50) most of them are reffering to the same contact, even if this contact contains the search name somewhere in the text. I can imagine once bot not twice or even ten times the same contact. I tried everything. Combine double contacts, get ride of the cache. Nothinh helps.
Is ther anyone we can tell me what the solution could be?

Android Studio - no Internet connectivity when using "run-as"

Hi -
I am creating an app using Android Studio on my MacBook and need Internet connectivity. When I start up Studio, then install my app which starts up the emulator, then "adb shell" from my MacBook terminal. At this point I have Internet connectivity in that I can do "ping abcnews.go.com" and get packages back. However, when I do "adb shell", then "run-as com.example.myapplication", I find that "ping abcnews.go.com" no longer works. (note: I need to do "run-as ..." in order to have chmod capability). I will add that a search online showed that if I start my emulator up with "emulator -avd Pixel_3a_XL_API_29 -dns-server 8.8.8.8", it gives me Internet capability, even after starting "run-as ...", however, this makes me go through a "...r.cloudfront.net" server which looks to be an AWS server. So I'm wondering why I lose Internet connectivity after starting "run-as ..." in adb shell? I'd rather not go through that AWS server if I don't have to. TIA for any information anyone can provide on this.

Google Messages - Issue with MMS images S10 on AT&T to iPhone 11 on Verizon

Hello, I've had an issue with my MMS messages for quite some time. I send images via text from my S10 on AT&T with Google Messages client to my friend on Verizon with an iPhone 11. He gets all the images I send, but a lot are very delayed - some by 2-12 hours. On my end after sending, it looks like they just go right out (no messages about not sent, etc).

I have uninstalled and reinstalled Google Messages and cleared the app cache. Anything else I can try? It's a VERY annoying issue.

Thank you for any help,
Gina

Help I solved it myself Locking and unlocking the phone

I'm having a problem locking my phone without turning of the power. When I push the power button and let go, the screen turns off. I have the fingerprint sensor set to unlock the phone. The problem is when the screen is off and I push the power button, the screen turns back on but it isn't locked. Touching the fingerprint sensor also turns it back on unlocked as it should. When I power off the phone and restart it, I have to use my pattern to unlock the phone. Why can't I lock my phone without shutting off the power. I have the setting to lock the phone with the power button turned on. Using or not using the AOD has no effect.Screenshot_20200326-200925.png

Help not compatible due to the carrier firmware package on that particular SKU

Hello all. I don't see a sticky on what information you need so I'll post some and follow-up as needed.

Model: SM-G965U Verizon (default time unlocked by Verizon)
Hardware version: REV1.1
FCC ID: A3LSMG965U
SERIAL: RF8KC...
Phone status: Official
Android Version: 10
Baseband version: G965USQU7DTA8
Kernel version: 4.9.186
Build number: QP1A.190711.020.G965USQU7DTA8
Service provider SW ver: SAOMC_SM-G965U_OYN_VZW_QQ_0008_4559465250413098


I am attempting to move from Verizon to Visible (a Verizon subsidiary). My IMEI did not check as compatible with Visible and this is what the level three rep replied with:


Quote:
"I did some digging and it looks like we have compatibility with*most*Galaxy S9+s. I double checked your IMEI and it is not compatible due to the carrier firmware package on that particular SKU, apologies about that!" :End Quote


[1] What is the suggested solution to change to a carrier firmware package that will work?
[1a] I believe you change this with Odin?
[1b] The Samsung Unlocked version does not work with Visible.
[2] Will it require to setup the phone again?
[3] Will Samsung Pay / Secure Folder still work?

UPDATE: I have data and mobile hotspot working with my S9+, but still no phone calls or texts. Keep that in mind if you need an unlimited device for data.

Thanks

Photoshop Touch has disappeared. Can I get it back?

Not long before it was discontinued, I paid for Photoshop Touch. That meant that even after it was discontinued, I was able to continue using this very useful little app. Even when I had to change phone, it got automatically installed by Google on my new phone, and there it remained for 3 years … until now. Now it is gone. Photoshop Express, which was also an app that I sometimes found useful has also disappeared. The strange thing is that I noticed they were missing a few hours after noticing that both Facebook and Messenger had also disappeared (although reinstalling these obviously wasn't a problem). And this comes only a day after I had replaced the SD card, the old one having died, which makes me wonder if there is a connection between these events. Has Photoshop Touch (which I have paid for) disappeared forever, or is there a way to get it back?

Calls

Calls don't come through sometime when I'm in a wi-fi setting. But some do. When I'm off of wifi, everything comes through. I was wondering was the problem would be and if anybody has a solution.

Dear Google Voice

I recently sent a message to google team requesting help with the ringtone differentiating issue. Jump on board and do the same with me.

My self and hundreds of others from online forums that I have read have a persistent issue with the "Google Voice"(GV) app. We can't set up a GV ringtone that is separate from our personal call ringtones, there is no option to do so. I am a travel nurse. I receive calls from numerous hospitals and contract travel agencies. It is vital that I be able to use every tool to differentiate incoming calls. Otherwise, I wouldn't seek out a third party calling service to organize my mobile communication. Please, just trust that I have attempted all off label, back door, jimmy rig methods in addition to google help, youtube and forums to get this issue resolved. Please speak with engineering to fix this issue. I would like the ability to ignore my grandmother's 6th call of the day from across the room or hurry to my phone because my travel agent is calling. I can't find a logical need to run to both. without this feature, the service is liking to playing football at an amazing stadium but both teams down the same jerseys. Normally I would add links or screenshots to support my argument. Instead, I invite you all to "Google" search "how to change google voice ringtone" Also, I'm running on a "Galaxy Note 10" not old enough to hinder capability or performance. I don't mean to be rude. I would just like to stay with google on this one.

Firestick 4k with VPN and Netflix

Hi Everyone,

Hopefully I am allowed to ask this here. I am potentially looking at purchasing a firestick 4k to allow me to run a VPN giving me access to US Netflix from another country.
I have tried 2 different chinese android tv boxes where netflix runs fine but detects the vpn (however on my android phone netflix runs fine with the vpn) and it runs fine through a browser on a pc with netflix.

Does anyone here use netflix on a firestick and a vpn?
