I have a Fusion F202 Android 12 tablet, the TalkBack facility started for whatever reason and it locked up my tablet completely and it took me over an hour of fiddling to get it back. My question is why did this happen and how on earth do you get out of it? I had previously turned the TalkBack facility off in settings.
I am new to Android and have not become educated with all it's little foibals

Hello everybody

I am in the following case:
* Android phone started in recovery mode - with option: "Apply update from ADB"
* connected with a usb cable on a Windows 10 x64 workstation
* with ADB and Fastboot commands installed

Only .ZIP files can be installed on the mobile using the command:
adb sideload package_name.zip

If the file is not "signed", the following messages appear on the mobile:
..."verifying update package"
"E:footer is wrong"
"E: signature verification failed"
"Installation Aborted"

My question is :
How is it possible to transform an .APK file into a "signed" .ZIP file?
So the installation of this .ZIP file will not be rejected.

The purpose of this operation is to:
* be able to re-install the Gboard keyboard which is no longer active
* and thus be able to unlock the screen.
Currently when swiping the screen to enter the password, no keyboard appears...

In advance, thank you for your help.

Cordially,
(Kindly excuse my bad English...)

I want to know what network type my phone is **actually connected to right now**, not what it's capable of (which is all Google turns up when I ask the above question, stupid thing). It will do up to 4G(1) but I can find no way of finding out if it's on 3G or 4G. My old phone used to have 3G or 4G next to the signal bars, and I'd see one or the other depending on the area I was in and how near a mast I was), but this one (a Samsung A10) doesn't.

(1)It actually says 2G/3G/LTE auto select. Google says LTE is the same as 4G, is that correct?

Howdy gurus,

I'm a rookie. I'm hoping someone might have had a similar issue to mine....
I've tried the search bar but the single result was a slightly different issue.

Almost 2 years ago I switched from an S10 to an S21.
I think I used the Samsung software to transfer across my data etc.
How much of that transfer was via cloud and how much was direct is not clear....but I do remember eveything went pretty
smoothly with no apparent issues. The S10 was reset & traded to a phone recycling company.
The S21 has been great, but it has a ridiculous storage management regime.

So I have a file in the internal storage named "SdCardbackup"
It was created during the transfer process because the S10 had an external card in it.
The folder was used by Android/Samsung App to capture the media on the SD card & move it across to the S21.
No problem. I understand what it was created for and why it has media in it.
I was going to make a copy of it on my PC and then delete it from the S21.....

But....
I noticed the SdCardbackup folder had a few very recent photos in it that were taken nearly 2 years after I changed over from the S10.
This means the S21 is still using this folder.
How is this possible?
The S21 doesn't have SD card capability. Nothing in the S21 has been linked to that legacy folder. The S21 doesn't "know" anything about that folder except that it sits on the internal storage drive. At no point (that I'm aware of?) have I nominated that folder for use. And even if I have accidentally activated the Samsung transfer App sometime after the initial transfer, there is no new SD card in the S21 for it to save to or back-up.
And yet, something is saving photos & videos to that folder under certain conditions (not every new photo/video, just some...)
A closer look through the folder shows a mix of mostly older S10 era media with some recent photos & videos. And there is a lot of media there (approx. 7 GB I think)

So...
How do I find which process or App is using that folder?
Should I delete it & see what happens? (not keen on this option)
Could it be something to do with WhatsApp? I use WhatsApp a lot for sending photos & videos to family & friends.

A google search of the www turns-up nothing related to this specific issue.

EDIT: Could this be a cloud / Google Drive / Google Photos setting issue, where the folder is being "synced" inadvertently?

I have a number of Android devices and have been using Android for many years. I have on all my devices installed essentially the same Apps which I like. Whenever I obtain a new device I install most of my favourite Apps (used on existing devices) across to it. Most of the time this works without any problem.

However I've now encountered a problem I wasn't expecting. I have an App called Clock installed on different devices but (while having the same name) they are actually different Apps as they are produced by different developers. I've found one particular Clock app which I prefer to the alternatives and would like to install it on all my devices. The problem is that Google Play has so many Apps called Clock (dozens of them) that I cannot distinguish between them and select the identical App (the one that I prefer) to be installed on my other devices.

Can anyone suggest a way that I can transfer my preferred Clock App located on one device and installing it on other devices when I don't know where to find it on Google Play?

I have a ANS ack2326 Android 12, Started to try and watch movies, or TV programs, however when I start watching in Max screen it wants to revert to Minimized in my Apps Menu, strange?? How to correct??

Hello, can someone tell me what app this is? 3 vertical semi circles.

Whilst playing around with my new S22 I decided to try playing an audio file using Samsung Music. I was surprised to discover that I could then only pause the play - there's no stop button. Even after I closed the app (Recents button and Close All) it was still appearing in the notifications pull-down. The only way I could find to get rid of it was to go into App Manager and do a force stop on it.

The lack of a stop button seems a strange omission. Is there any other way?

If not can anyone recommend a good 3rd-party audio player?

I have a OnePlus 9 Pro and I'm interested to know if there is a ROM I could flash that has support for a full desktop mode when connected to an external display, like Samsung Dex 192.168.100.1 .
There's no specific desktop mode that OnePlus has implemented, and the built-in Android desktop mode (with force desktop mode enabled in the developed options) is pretty bad. I've tried a couple apps that claim to enhance desktop mode but it just feels unfinished in general so nothing makes it a good experience.

Does anyone know what app this is? Found on bfs phone, he has cheated in the past. I don't need any grief, I don't snoop in his phone, I tried talking to him, I tried to look up the image myself,just need an answer, please.

Custom notification keeps getting overridden by built in notification. Tried everything to change this, but can't fix. As a last resort, would a factory reset do the trick? Please, I need some help. Thanks.

Hello.

I live in my RV full time and recently moved to a park in a cell service dead zone; no towers in range. The park owners have supplied wi-fi via Starlink and I learned how to use wi-fi to connect to my Verizon service while in the park so I can send/receive phone calls and text.

The first time I set it up I discovered that I had to reboot the phone in order to get it to get it to find Verizon. It stayed connected until the first time I drove to town (32 miles away) and it switched to cell service automatically. The problem is, it did not reacquire the Verizon connection again via wi-fi when I came back home. After some fussing with it, I learned that I had to reboot the phone again.

This has been going on for 5 months. Whenever I go to town and drive through a cell coverage area, the phone switches to cell service, but does not reconnect to Verizon via wi-fi when I get back home; unless I reboot the phone. Or, if the satellites move around and the Starlink loses connectivity for a bit, then I have to reboot the phone again to get it to reacquire Verizon. It reconnects to the wi-fi signal with no problem, but does not reconnect to Verizon. This forced rebooting has become really old.

I talked to the park owners and they both have iPhones, and have never had to reboot their phones to get Verizon (they use the same carrier). I am now considering replacing the A21 with an iPhone, especially since Verizon keeps pestering me to upgrade my phone for free (so I will no doubt sign another contract). I would rather not because the A21 works perfectly fine other than this issue.

So I joined this forum, and have posted this, in the hopes that someone else has had to deal with this stubbornness and can provide some info, tricks, or fixes to resolve this issue. Or, perhaps someone has experience with another Samsung model that does not have this issue. Maybe it's inherent to the A21 only?

Thanks!

I purchased an unlocked Samsung 10e. The seller said it was unlocked, but in fact it was locked to AT&T. After getting the code to unlock it (it did), I was able to enroll it on Consumer Cellular with their sim. However, when I start the phone, the AT&T song plays along with their logo, then it completes startup OK. Question: is there a way to locate that "startup" app, so it just starts without it? I can kill the melody by turning off system sounds, but I'd like to remove that AT&T "app" totally

Hi im new can someone teach me.
Why my device is temperature low?

I have a ANS ACK2326 Android 12 Smart phone. Issue:
I'm using a SanDisk SD32Gb that's setup for Internal Storage and wanted to reformat to Portable. I read a Walkthrough and Unmounted the Card, then Remounted it, but it's still stuck in Internal Storage? Can it even be moved? Maybe get another Card? Any ideas ?
Thanks

I went to www.apkmirror.com on my tablet. At the top of the page was a button to download APKMirror Installer, giving me the impression that installing it is a necessary first step. Then during its install I see a message ‘created by Google” and information that this is an unreleased beta program. It wants me to do three steps: create an account, verify (the account, I presume), browse for content.

Is this in fact part of the Google play store?
Do I need it to get something/anything from apkmirror?
Can I get rid of it and then go straight to downloading and installing the audio player, or other programs I might want, from what I find listed at the apkmirror site?

Just upgraded from Note 9 to S23 Ultra.
Been using Yaata for years, no problem.
On new phone, I can ATTACH a picture to a text (from my Gallery), but I cannot TAKE a picture inside Yaata.
What happens is:

• I open a new text
• Hit the little camera icon
• Take the picture
• It inserts a BLANK frame in the text

If *I* click on it before sending, it opens a blank frame. When the recipient gets it, there's nothing there. All permissions are granted to Yaata.
What am I not looking at?

What do backup apps do for an android? My search of the web says that they only back up data. Is there one app that will not only back up my data but also all of the apps installed on the phone? So that when I move to a new device it will basically mirror what was on my old phone on to my new phone? I would pay money to have such an app - but free is always good

Hello everyone, I'm looking for your assistance please with an issue that bugs me to death. I have used the search facility, but was unable find the answer I'm looking for.

My question is this: Is it possible to change the file numbering option when saving photos on my phone? My phone saves photo files with a 14 digit number for example, 20221210_123456. I would like to change how photos are saved to a similar system used in my Canon camera, IMG_1234.

I don't know if what I'm asking is even a possibility, but I'm sure someone will know one way or another.

Thanking you in advance for your replies.

Hello everyone, I want to create an unusual automation on the smartphone. "Tasker for Android" is said to be very suitable for this. Goal: The smartphone should automatically record my route when I enter a certain area. And when I leave the area again stop the recording. These routes should then be permanently visible on a map. Which tracking APP could be suitable for this? Thanks for suggestions

I used Aurora store for a while and I installed a lot of apps. Now I reactivated the play store and I can't see all the apps that I have. I can do a sort of "scan" of installed app? Or I can solve this problem in someway? Or my apps are stuck in aurora store? Thank you

I've wondered why my SMART LOCK feature in my Samsung Galaxy Note 9 which keeps the phone unlocked in trusted locations or connected to trusted devices no longer works, having the need to continually unlock the phone at home etc.
Discovered the Locations and Device settings are gone on SMART LOCK page so there's no means of setting it.
All software updates are current.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
All the best.
