Encrypted file??

As I try learning all about things on my android phone I was looking through my files
I found...(1st screenshot).. In it was this(2nd screenshot
Actually what was there was a picture of a website that I had visited without any problems. Only found out that it wasn't secure now two days later. I went to chrome and tried opening it in incognito but couldn't. How did this file get in my internal storage. I didn't put it there.

Why do apps & browsers keep refreshing pages ?

I have an Amazon Fire HD (and yeah I know it is not a true Android device). It annoys me no end that if I have an app, like a browser, open and have to switch to a different app, like Keepass so I can get a password, when I go back to the browser it does a FULL PAGE refresh and I lose whatever I had changed on that page, like entering my username. Just did the same thing to me with Untapped, filled out all the registration info, accidentally minimized the app, and when I got it back everything had been wiped.
Since Android keeps the app in memory, supposedly even when I exit, much less switch apps, what is it that causes this to happen ? Since I see it in Opera all the time, and Firefox only sometimes, is it an app design issue or an OS issue ? I mean to me that is not what I expect a good user interface to do, and hey, even Windows doesn't wipe things out.
What's the deal ?

Financial Management

Can anyone help? I'm looking for a web-based app for running my various bank and savings accounts. I want web-based so I can access it from my PC or smartphone. Mint and Quicken aren't supported in the UK. YNAB is good but is aimed at budgeting and the Android app doesn't show a running balance.
I'm not bothered about connecting to my bank and prefer to add manually. Half of my input is recurring debits and credits anyway.
I use Pocket Money which is OK but is no longer supported for Android. That's not cloud based but synchs between PC and phone.
Any advice gratefully received. I'm not looking for free apps and I'm happy to pay.

Get list of opt-in testers?

Is there any way to get a list of the opt-in testers in the closed track? I've used the opt-in url to add a user, but i cannot find anywhere that this user is listed. He's not in the Testers lists. Any way to manage this? I'm referring to the App Releases in the play store console.

Do i have to add them to a testers list before they can use the opt-in link? It's a bit confusing because my user (who is an administrator) can see the opt-in link and I can click the become a tester link from the opt-in. But another user, that is not a user in the console sees the App not Available screen

Deleting whatsapp account

This isn't a duplicate post , my last post wasn't really answered. There seemed to be confusion with the.account and the app.
I have logged into whatsapp on a new device , I then added my phone number to the whatsapp app on new device.
I then deleted my account - so will this now remove all data , messages , back ups ect from my old device ?
My old device may not have battery life or be offline would that matter , or will data still be wiped clean ?
I can then change my number and set a fresh account up on my new device ?
Thanks

Casting to a TV

I use a Y5iii and I want to view my screen on a (non-smart) TV. I bought a Chromecast type of device but it didn't work, I also installed Miracast software and it said that my device was not compatible. I thought all current Android OSs had the ability but I am thinking the Y5 does not have compatibility built-in because it is one of the cheaper models. Am I right?
Is there another way of doing it with this phone?

Strange things

Just now as I was looking at the information on my Elixir 2 app I noticed that Accessibility services were on. I know I turned them all off last night. I went and turned them off. A notifications popped up that a certificate was installed on my device that could leak my wifi connection ect.. I tapped it to look and it was a Samsung root certificate. Now I don't root and I didn't think my Samsung Galaxy J2 was not able to be rooted. Ideas Anyone???

News Kit

news-en.png


News Kit
is a new news aggregator model.
Registration in the application is not required - we do not store any personal data.

You design your own news feed. You can read each news source separately, or you can collect your own news feed from different sources. Read only what you are interested in. Unlike most aggregators, we do not add sources to the feed to which you did not subscribe and do not impose news on you that are not interesting to you.

The catalog of popular news sources, for convenience, is divided not only by category, but also by country. This allows you to create separate news feeds for each country.

The catalog is constantly updated with new sources and countries.
If your country is not yet in the catalog, just write to us and we will add it. You can write to us directly from the application, in the "Information" section.

It is possible to add new sources.

Simple and intuitive interface - to see the catalog you just need to open the side panel. Setting up a news feed takes place in the same place in two clicks. By opening any category of the catalog, you can read news from any source, even if you are not subscribed to it. This allows you to first open the source, view articles, and if you like them, add the source to your feed in one go.

Two article display modes. By default, all articles open in read mode, without annoying ads, hit counts, whistles and frills for decoration. If you wish, you can always go to the source’s site and read the full version of the article in its original form.

It is possible to change the color theme of the application, for example, for reading in the dark it is convenient to turn on the dark theme.

How do I transfer playlists from windows to android?

I have used MusicBee to transfer music and playlists from my PC to my phone for many years with no issues whatsoever, that is until now. I upgraded to a Note 10 + around September of last year and everything worked fine up until the latest update early this year. At first there was an issue with using my SD card to transfer files as it would copy the music but all the playlists had zero songs in them, but since my note 10+ has plenty of drive space I simply transferred my files to my phone's storage instead of the SD card and it worked fine.
Now it is happening again and I can't transfer any new playlists or transfer any newly added songs to existing playlists.

So now I am looking for an alternative. Right now the only thing I can find is for iTunes and apparently that works fine when transferring files over, but apparently I'd have to rebuild all of my playlists. Plus I really dislike the way iTunes works.

Anyone know of any good Windows music players that can transfer songs and playlists over to Android phones? Either that or is there some way to fix the issue I am having?

Files

I don't know anything about this type stuff but 6 days ago I purchased a Samsung Galaxy J2. 2 days later it said that I had used 9 GB of internal storage. I had only downloaded 1app from Google play store and taken 3 pictures and that's all. I look through my apps and the list was very long and had several names I had never seen before. So after some research I downloaded a app from the play store called Elixir 2. Under the FILES info there was an overwhelming amount of information. Can someone please help explain what this is and why its here. By the way I don't root,turn on developers options and don't even own a computer or anything else. I'm only adding a few screenshots

Note 9 for wife???

Belonging to CRICKET Wireless I've been waiting and hoping that the s10 would go down to around 350.00 but it hasn't yet, don't know if it will? I've been looking on SWAPPA and the note 9 and/or s9 + can be gotten in mint condition for under 400.00, the s10 in mint for around 450.00. Would this be a good choice? or not? She has had the Moto g6 which got stolen, the one she has now is alot worse. Having s8 for myself it is alot better phone than she ever had. What do you all think???

Notifications

I recently got a gear S2, and I love it, but as I'm trying to figure everything out and personalize it to how I'd like it, I can't get it to vibrate for notifications. No messages no matter the app will vibrate to alert me. Phone calls however will. As far as I can tell, everything is on and all allowances on as well. Am I missing something? Any and all suggestions welcome. I'm paired to a galaxy s10e on TMobile if it makes a difference. Thanks
