I have a backup phone and I can't remember my pin and there us also an icon I've never seen before.

In April the City of Arcadia sent out warnings about recent burglaries, specifically naming my area as one of those being hit. The article outlines what's going on and what the police are doing about it, plus it includes some general safety tips helpful for anyone:



Today, my helper spoke to a woman who'd come to the front door, holding a young baby and asking if we'd seen her orange cat. My helper heard her ask the next-door neighbor the same thing....yet she told my helper that he (my neighbor) had sent her pictures of her cat, which made no sense. She told both people that someone had seen her cat go into their backyards, and wanted to take a look. After we told her the cat wasn't here, she pointed vaguely and said she has signs up, and to call if we see her cat. Having lost a cat many years ago--through an open window whose screen got knocked off when two of my Great Danes had a little disagreement...in the living room--an orange cat, no less, I didn't want to disregard her story altogether, but it did sound extremely suspicious. My helper continued watching her, and she was getting in and out of a car, between walking house to house. We decided to call the non-emergency police number. I did. I gave them my name and address and the woman's description, and less than TWO minutes after we hung up a patrol car was in front of my house questioning her! I LOVE my police department. They've been nothing but amazing in all the years I've lived here. This time. I sure didn't feel that way many years ago when I lived here, and...um...well...engaged in some rather illegal activities (recreational drugs, skipping school). Funny how time changes things!

Can't get rid off this icon then I click on it it disappeared

Hi,

So I see how to turn on speaker phone mode when I make a call, when I'm ready to dial I see a speaker button.

But, when I receive a call, I answer the call and I am looking everywhere to put it into speaker mode. But I don’t see a button anywhere. Is there a way?

Thanks,
Lee G.

Do I need a VPN while torrenting on T-Mobile Gateway & Network....?!

Today I left my phone out in the sun & it overheated. After it cooled down it restored everything but my sound was distorted. I went to a cell phone repair place & they said it'd resolve on its on or they can replace the speakers for $150. I've done a hard reset multiple times, I've blown air into the speakers, & downloaded an app to clean the speakers with sound.

When I manually reset my phone it will resolve but then 15-20 mins later the sound is distorted again. I've done everything I can think of. Anyone have any suggestions?

Hi guys, got a Moto G Pure, XT2163-4 Canadian retail that has the OEM unlocking grayed out in Developer options. What I've tried so far:
1. Reflashed it using RSA (ELLIS_RETAIL_S3RHS32.20_42_10_17_3)
2. Reset to factory settings
3. Someone reported that after 2 days of use the OEM unlock wasn't grayed out no more and was able to enable it. I started using the phone last night so fingers crossed.

I've got my code to unlock the OEM through fastboot from Motorola but until OEM Unlock is enabled, I can't do it.
Any other ideas will be appreciated.

I have Verizon as my network provider and it seems to have a bug in it which allows certain advertisers to exploit a drive by install of a app which I did not give permission to.

So if anyone can point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.

Galaxy s10e

About a month ago I began experiencing open apps when I use my fingerprint to wake it,, or sometimes, like today, one app was unexpectedly just "there" suddenly during the course of my activity.

At first, I thought it was my imagination, that I inadvertently tapped one, but it seemingly happens daily, once or twice, with different apps, and some of them I rarely if ever use.

Can some please suggest a plausible launcher or other solution? Every launcher to date appears to be incompatible .
I'm hoping to use a X96Q tv box (Allwinner H313/H616; Android 10, rooted, comes with Chrome 72 though it seems happy with Chrome 114, Odin and EinkBro browsers) as a intranet graphic terminal;
my problem is that I have yet to find a launcher to replace the Chinese manufacturer's home-screen (mediabox) from which I can not hide/delete unwanted links to Play Store, Netflix, Chrome, and Youtube app links so I can present links to:
Option 1) ssh 192.168.0.2
Option 2) web-client 192.168.0.2:80
Option 3) web-client 192.168.0.2:8080
Option 4) web-client 192.168.0.3:80
I would like to display a homescreen wallpaper and perhaps even dare I suggest a clock/date widget.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this question but I used to upload my apps on the google developer console and then you had the roll-out option to send them for review. Now I've been told that I have to test them before, either with an internal or a closed testing. But once I send an app to a number of people, how does it work to have it reviewed? I don't see the roll-out option, should I wait a few days? How does it work?

Hi all,

Sorry to be asking such an incredibly basic question. I've been wanting to ask this question for a LONG time, but this is the first time I'm feeling enough courage to ask such a basic question.

Is there a list of "Best benefits" of rooting a phone that I could look at?

I'm aware of the risks, but what about the positives?

Thank you for any help!!!

Hi all,

I tried searching the Internet for an answer to this but nothing came up for Android 11...

It's running the Android "Go" version that's made for devices with limited hardware like mine which only has 1GB of RAM.

It was so easy to check current RAM use on my very old phone running Android 4.1...

My phone is a ZTE. Link here with full specifications: https://www.optus.com.au/prepaid/phones/optus/x-start-3

Thank you for any help!!!

Hi, Im new to this fourm,
When i tried booting to recovery mode with adb reboot recovery command on a chromebook on LG k50, it shows a dead android icon with no command text on the screen. i tried holding volup and power in this screen but it keeps rebooting to regular boot. Can someone help me? I just need to wipe my cache partition. 😊

I am running Android 11 on a Samsung Galaxy A70. I am unable to change the backup frequency from my phone to Google drive or Samsung Cloud. Both are preset at 24 hours. I want to change the preset to a more longer duration. I recently noticed that my call log was gone. By the time I noticed it was gone, it was too late. My phone had already run a backup and had over written the old backup with the call log I needed. Also, is there a way to keep multiple backups on the cloud? That might help as well.

Background
I previously created a random picker app. It has many rave reviews.

That app is great for making list of different items you want to pick from regularly.

However, there are certain cases where you might want to quickly pick something without wanting to enter each item and/or because it wouldn't be feasible (A book shelf or grocery aisle)

I've now created another app to handle such cases. It has been in the works for some time now and I have recently refined and updated it. I would like to share it with all of you loving Android users to test it out.

How it Works
To use the app, just take pictures of the items you want to pick from.

Press a button to randomly an item

A cursor will appear in the selected image and on the picked item.

You can choose to have it pick the item again if desired.

Where to Download
The app can be downloaded from the PlayStore at Image Picker - Random Picker - Apps on Google Play.

Suggestions and feedback
I made this for myself and I thought I would share it with all of you. But I know other people are dealing with the same issues. I am willing to listen to any suggestions/feedback that will improve the app for me and everyone else. Please comment below.

I have some PDF that I want to edit but it looks like Adobe isn't free for editing.
Is there any recommended freeware that will serve the purpose? Thanks for advice.

How long do i have to wait between android software update and app optimization?

Today while working and listening to tunes via BT my local songs started skipping and restarting. I've had this happen before when my phone became active in my pocket and opened multiple apps. In the past I simply closed all and opened my player again and all was fine. Today. however. I found the player ( VLC ) was still active and started playing right where it left off. I closed all apps again and turned the phone off. The phone was off for at least ten minutes before I booted it up again. VLC was still open and continued to play right where I paused it before closing it and turning the phone off.
It's not a big deal but I've yet to understand just how it stayed resident when the phone was off. Just tossing this out for discussion.

I have a Samsung Android phone. When I toggle Bluetooth on, it scans for Bluetooth devices and displays a dialogue with a device list. Likewise when I toggle Wi-Fi on, it scans for available networks and displays them in a dialogue. Is there a way of turning this automatic scanning off? When I toggle Bluetooth or Wi-Fi on, these popups are not required most of the time. I would rather just have auto connect to available devices / networks and otherwise connect manually.

It happens to be a Moto G9 Power, just over two years old, but it could be any phone... It's been very well looked after, not dropped, wetted, or damaged in any way. Battery life has always been fine.

It was in use (messaging) with at least 60% battery and it just shut down.

When you try to reboot it comes up with the splash screen then restarts.

I let the battery run right down to 0% as that used to help on some old device I had. But it won't charge. You see the 0% charged screen, but no charge light comes on and it doesn't charge.

It won't boot even on mains charger.

Someone on another forum kindly helped me re-image the phone, which seemed to go OK but made no difference.

So we've concluded it has a hardware problem - but what?

I've replaced the bit you plug the charger into.

Is it likely to be the battery itself? Or something else?

Hi all!

I've been experiencing problems with my Blackview A52 phone which I had only recently purchased through Amazon on 20th March 2023. It didn't take long before the problems started to appear. I have had 5 PCs and 4 phones that are showing the same problems so I know I am being harassed by a stalker but I need help securing at least on device, or getting help on what would be good evidence to take to the police.

I have attached some videos and a document with images and explanation as to why I think I may have been bugged but would appreciate if anyone can confirm if this is hacked, or not. Are these settings and apps that Blackview installs in all of it's devices? If so, could you guide me in restoring control over the device?

Google Drive: Sign-in

Thanking you in advance!

I was in OneDrive, trying to scroll thru about 50 files and folders.

With my bluetooth keyboard it works normally.

With my m585 Logitech bluetooth mouse, from the top, it stops scrolling after two of the remaining files not already in view are displayed.
