Help Remove duplicate device from Google account

I searched & found old threads, I'm just wondering if there's any new info. that would let me delete duplicate devices from my account. I used to use a Pixel 2, then bought a 3a. Then I had to have the 3a replaced, so I switched back to the 2 for a bit. Then I switched to the new 3a, and had some issues with Android Auto (still unresolved), so I switched back & forth between both phones again & even reset the new 3a.

So - now when I look in my account Location History, it shows this under "Devices on this account":
Pixel 3a (this device)
Pixel 3a
Pixel 2
Pixel 3a
Pixel 3a
Pixel 2

That's kind of a lot of entries for just having 2 phones :rolleyes:

Anybody have any ideas? I did go into my account settings in the Play store & only have the current 3a active for apps, but it would be less confusing overall not to have all these phantom phones showing up under my Location History.

lg k20 sd card question

i have the kg k20 plus lgmp260 and i had 32gb sd card in it for 2 years, i had is set as extended memory. so if it shows that the memory is extended, where will it put photos as i collect them? the reason i ask is today i get a message that the sd card has been ejected. i looked into the dcim-camera and i see what i think is all my photos, so i removed the sd card and put it in the pc to check it and it appears to be dead. it will not show as a drive. i even use amoie to see if it was showing as a drive and nothing.

so what makes these just go dead? it is the micro sd hs 32gb card. i figured these were good cards!

so i'm now getting a samsung v10 class card to put back in the phone.

do these just fail like this? it was new when installed and i did not thound the terminals and when i installed it the phone asked me if i wanted to make it extended so i did. this way i was told i would not have to use an app to make my apps go to the card, as the phone now would be thinking is had all this memory built in.

or is it not a good idea to do the extend the sd card as phone memory? thanks

Lock screen tiny icon issue

Hi All,

My galaxy S10 lock screen normally shows two apps - weatherbug and Pi music player. They just display there with no extra clicking necessary. (2nd image above)

I installed the latest OS update last night and now I see two tiny icons for those apps. I now have to click those icons to make the apps visible the way they used to be. Every single time i wake up the display. (1st image above)

Ive played with the notification and lock screen settings for an hour and cant find a way to revert back. Can anyone offer suggestions please?

Weird problem

I have an ongoing, annoying, head-scratching problem. :thinking:

Daily, and following no pattern that I can discern, the 'Uncategorized' category appears, with one specific app in it. The app -is- definitely accounted for by existing in my 'All Apps' category. Let me illustrate some of this...

Here's my menu; its visible categories are the only categories I use; in other words, I don't have to scroll down to get to any of my in-use categories:

xScreenshot_20200103-194220.jpg


Now here's my 'Media' category:

xxxScreenshot_20200103-194237.jpg


Notice 'F-Stop Pro.' This app is different from all my other paid apps; it has one icon that came from the free version, and a second icon (the one you see) for the key that turned it into Pro.

The second icon -does- open the app, so there's no need to have the first also here; I just leave it in 'All Apps.' [I only look at 'All Apps' when I want to torture myself, imagining swiping through a zillion apps like other people--who don't know there's a better way--do daily. :rolleyes:] Here are their entries in System Settings:

xyzScreenshot_20200103-195439.jpg


Despite repeatedly making sure the first app is in 'All Apps,' thereby preventing it from being uncategorized, this is what happens:

xxScreenshot_20200103-171758.jpg


Looking at the settings for 'All Apps,' it has UNCHECKED itself! :o

Once unchecked and, therefore, no longer existing in a category, 'Uncategorized' creates itself again with that one app in it:

xScreenshot_20200103-201722.jpg


xScreenshot_20200103-201708.jpg


So WTF?! What do you think is going on?

In case you're wondering, yes, I have put it back in my 'Media' category (and others) and the problem disappeared. There seems to be some...THING...about this specific icon being in 'All Apps'...well, NOT being...well, you get the idea. I hope.

Battery slowly expanding?

Hello! Quite a while back I bought a Used Samsung S7 Active, it was certified refurbished and I really enjoyed it. In the final months that I had I had started noticing a sweet smell coming from the phone. I never really thought much about it. Then one day the tragic happened, I dropped it and the camera lens shattered. I taped up the lens after carefully pulling the glass off to keep it protected until a week or two later I finally got a new phone. But that's all besides the point, earlier today I peeled of the tape from the camera and that sweet smell came back and it was a LOT stronger, I've also now noticed a pretty sizable dent that goes outwards from the device, its around the AT&T logo. I was wondering if anyone would happen to know if these are two separate things or if the battery on the phone is a fire hazard that I need to get rid of.

I would also like to put as a side note that the phone used to come into contact with fresh water quite frequently but no salt water, I have never noticed the phone act strangely after coming into contact with water during any of those times nor had either lens fogged up. It never came into contact with water after the lens broke either.

Edge lighting not working after recent update

Note 10+ on Verizon. Just got the new update yesterday.

Edge lighting doesnt work anymore. The screen wakes up and goes straight to the A.O.D. screen and shows the icon of the app on the AOD. But no edge lighting...

Also, before, notifications would wake the screen and skip the A.O.D. Now it's not doing that either... I've looked through all the settings and cant find out how to fix this.

Your thoughts on best way to manage a multiple DB App

I could use some thoughts/suggestions on "what may be the best approach to handing multiple SQLite DBs for an Android app based upon a template DB?"

About the existing app - representing the issue of handling multiple DBs in Android:
As brief as possible, I have an existing Java-based Research DB app that allows a user to create a subject oriented database for research that requires the user to document a source for each note on a subject. A subject would be a single database. (blank.zip attached contains SQLite db examples)

So there is a blank template database (i.e. blank.db) that is copied and renamed to the subject the user chooses to research. The SQLite template database contains 11 tables, 10 relation-ally linked to a Notes table. The remaining 10 tables are Sources, Authors, Author_by_Source, Comments, Quotes, Terms, Topics, Files, File_by_Note, Questions.
However, a user can delete, export, or import any database they wish except the blank.db and sample.db which come with the app.

What have I done:
I've have been reading and doing hands-on tutorials learning the Android C.R.U.D approach through the DatabaseHelper. I've also learned about the Asset folder and storing databases already created within a sub folder called databases. So this where I ask my question(s).

So the Discussion Questions:
What is the best way to handle creating new databases?

Can I manage everything through the Assets folder?

S.O.S Rescue

we are a few volunteers who founded an association and we are people who want
to save lives in case of accidents or shipwrecks. because we are divided in different areas we cover faster and intervene faster than emergency services such as 911.
Being on the water and not having indicators would be very useful for us S.O.S application to move faster and to identify the possible accident faster.

If there is anyone who can help us, we would be very grateful.

I had an application offered by someone for free but I found that person only made the application advertisement with our help and now asks people money for using the application.



For a period of 1 year while using the application, I intervened 17 times in cases of slight problems and slight accidents and only once on a shipwreck in which there were 2 adults and a 5 year old child. Also, during the night 6 tourists or lost by boat on the water, called for special emergency services and they considered that it is not appropriate to intervene. Finally they sent us the call .SO.S to our application, and in 10 minutes a colleague was next to her and escorted them to the nearest hotel.



Any volunteer to halpe us?

Help No OTA Updates on Unlocked Phone w/Different Carrier?

Phone: Samsung Galaxy S9+, Model: SM-G965U (used in the United States)
Android version: 8.0.0
Current Carrier: Mint Mobile

Before I start with the question, here's some of the phone's history. I bought the phone off eBay. It was listed as unlocked and ready to be used with any carrier. The phone was originally a Verizon phone, and when booting the phone up it still displays the Verizon logo, and it also still has some Verizon bloatware that came with it. My intention was to use Tracfone as the carrier, who I've used for years. I was able to use Tracfone as the carrier, but the phone still showed Verizon as it booted up, but that's not a real concern. My concern was I was never able to update to Android 9 OTA. I then switched carriers to Mint Mobile because they were having a sale. Each carrier worked fine as far as using the phone, but every time I checked for OTA updates, it would say that my phone is up to date. So I am still stuck with Android 8. I figured it was because the carrier I used wasn't pushing the updates. However, my brother bought a used Galaxy S8+ (older) and was still able to get an OTA update for Android 9 with Tracfone as the carrier.

So my question is: What can I do to either get OTA updates? Is there a way to undo the "Verizonness" of the phone? I know my phone Samsung will be releasing Android 10 for my phone soon, and I want to be able to use that. I installed the Samsung Members App but again, it doesn't find updates for my device for some reason. What about manually installing the latest version after it's available?

I've had to manually update my Galaxy Note 4 in the past using a PC, but I'd rather correct the problem through other means first if possible.

Viewport doesn't work with Scrollview

Hi,
My app works fine and no errors in portrait view but I need Scroll the screen in Landscape view.

My XML File seems like this:
HTML:
<ScrollView>
    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="vertical">
        <com.google.android.material.tabs.TabLayout>
            <com.google.android.material.tabs.TabItem /> // TabItem 1
            <com.google.android.material.tabs.TabItem /> // TabItem 2
        </com.google.android.material.tabs.TabLayout>
        <androidx.viewpager.widget.ViewPager /> //ViewPager Without TabLayout and all basic configurations
    </LinearLayout>
</ScrolView>

So, I'm not getting make Scroll works in LandScape view or when have too many components in Portrait view.
Remembering that code is working fine, but I need implement the scroll with ViewPager.
Thanks

Help Skype Call Possibility Removal from Contact List

Hey guys,


I am from Hungary and relatively new to the Android World. I am contacting you regarding the following issue/question. I got a new phone and as of now in my phone contacts there is the possibility to call my contacts via Skype ( I see a Skype logo/icon), however not via mobile. On the other hand, if I create a new contact, that person can be called via mobile, but not via Skype anymore.


I would like to achive that the only possible way to call my contacts is via mobile and not via Skype. Do you have any idea, how I could make it happen? One option would be to create all the contacts new, however that would take ages.


Many thanks!


Kind Regards,

Adam
