Is there any way to change the appearance/background of Google Messages?

I have a WHILE loop that exits when run on one phone, yet on a different phone it doesn't!
In my class I declare the following variable

Then in my onCreateView I have the following with logging

The reason for the while loop is to stop the code until a different class GetNotificationsNewMySQL has been called, and in this class I set notificationsExtracted = true, as shown in the following piece of code

Now when I run it on all the phones except one (a Conexis x2), it logs that notificationsExtracted has been set to true, it never seems to register this state where the class was called from. Note that when first instantiating the class, it first sets notificationsExtracted = false, does some work, and then sets it true, hence the 2nd logging line "notificationExtracted = false"

This is my logging output (where it works as expected)

2019-11-13 16:34:04.156 12400-12400/com.example.pdcapp I/notif: 3
2019-11-13 16:34:04.156 12400-12400/com.example.pdcapp I/notif: notificationExtracted = false
2019-11-13 16:34:04.261 12400-12435/com.example.pdcapp I/notif: true
2019-11-13 16:34:04.261 12400-12400/com.example.pdcapp I/notif: 4

Click to expand...

The above shows that the while loop waits until the variable gets set to true before continuing the flow of code (i.e. when it logs "4" it has then continued).
However, on this one particular phone, it will log the exact same first 3 lines, i.e. in the called class it logs the variable as being true, but it never exits the while loop, with the result that the 4th line (the "4") never gets logged, and the phone then hangs.

Very perplexing, and I hope someone can shed some light on this please

I am using an Android 9 phone (Nokia 8) updated as on date. Have always used Hotmail id (added as an Exchange account on Android via the built-in Gmail App) as my Contact & Calendar data source. This was working fine all this while.

The sync of emails/contacts/calendar with my Hotmail id stopped few days back. Kept getting a system message "Update your Exchange account". On clicking, get a "Reviewing security policy ..." message. It tried to check something at the end of which I get an error message "Can't add account. Gmail's security settings are more secure than those set by your IT admin. Contact your IT admin for help." with two options "Remove account" and "Close". I clicked on "Close" few times and kept trying. I re-started my phone few times, but the issue persisted.

Then, for a change, I clicked on "Remove account". After this, all my contacts and calendar items have been removed from my phone. Then I added my Hotmail id again as an Exchange Account. But still the same issue ... it does not sync, giving the same system error message. I tried adding the Exchange account with manual settings. This does not go through at all.

I am not having any contacts on my phone now and there is no resolution to the issue.

Can anyone help?

Hi guys,
I'm having trouble finding the USB/MTB button on Android 9 (Win 10)
Lots of advisers say to go to Storage and click the 3 dots.
My storage dosn't have the 3 dots !
Is it set up wrong - or where is it hiding ?

many thanks

What does App symbol mean? Circled in orange

I have what i think is a strange issue which is doing my head in.

When i open up Samsung Internet and start typing, the first word is always highlighted samsung klingeltone
So if i am typing a multi word search for example, when i start typing the second word, it auto deletes the first as it is highlighted.

What on earth is going on, any idea?

I am using swiftkey but have tried the samsung keyboard but i think it is a Internet browser thing as no other app has this issue.

Two smartphone data plans and phone numbers that is on a S10 ?


Can I for example leave my phone number as one phone plan and use 4g lte data from a different phone plan ? Or will that not work ?


I never done this before sorry.

This is really pretty annoying... After updating to 9, this started happening ... When I reply to a text, I also get the text I sent as a new notification to me... See attached video

This is my main thing keeping me from switching to android if I can do this I may switch!

Hi.

I have a Blu G6 (from BestBuy, where it's packaged as the V7).

Problem is, none of the third party apps that should automatically load after a restart actually do. This includes Drupe Dialer, SMS Backup & Restore, and DriveSync Pro. It even does not fire repeat alarms saved in the Google clock app!

So, despite being a very good phone for the price, it's terrible with this inexcusable problem. Does anyone know a fix?!

My LGMS323 phone connects to the internet but disconnects shortly after. It will open Gmail, Google search, etc. but disconnects after a short time. I have tried connecting to the internet at several locations and the phone does the same thing everywhere.

Also, the keypad used to do searches in Google and Youtube will not come up or do so for a couple seconds only.

Also, when I tap the Youtube icon the message ""Item not found" comes up. Youtube is listed in my Apps list. Only four apps, which I never use, are listed in Update Center. Thanks for any replies.

Hello,

Can someone, please, tell me ho to
1. move (not copy) contacts from the device's "phone account" to the the device's "gmail account"?
2. set the device to save contacts, by default, in the gmail account instead of the phone account.

Thank you in advance to who will kindly share time/expertise.

How do I root my android Samsung Galaxy s10e phone

Hi All!
I'm not sure this is the correct place on the forum to post this, so please pardon my error if it is in the wrong spot.

I have a 32 GB SD card in my ZTE Maven Z-812 phone running Android 5.1
It has just under 4GB Of data on it. (28+ GB Free)

I tried moving some music files to the SD using Android File Transfer. The albums show as folders. The window shows that all moved, but in actuality only the first 2.26 GB moved. The count is 31 folders.

Next, I removed the SD and connected it to the computer & tired again. Exactly the same 2.26 GB moved. Nothing else moved. Oddly the window showed the folders, but all after the first 2.26 GB were empty. Upon eject & re-insert, the empty ones were gone. The file count again were 31 folders.

I thought I'd be smart and make a second Music folder, calling it "Music 2", but the music app can't find it.

Is there a folder size limit with Android? Perhaps a folder count limit inside a folder?
Or, Heaven forbid, is my SD card perhaps wonky & in need of replacement?

Thanks Very Much for your advice. It is much appreciated!
Enjoy This Day!

My older Samsung Galaxy Tab S has the perfect keyboard, which I think it Google Gboard. It has a comma, a question mark and an exclamation point. Seems like Google Gboard is no longer like this. Is there a keyboard out there that has all these? Seems pretty darned basic to me. I'm not interesting in swiping or talking to it. I want it for my Samsung Galaxy S10e.

Hi. I was hoping someone could help me figure out what app these icons are from. My girlfriend just noticed them, they're from screenshots I sent about a year ago and I have no idea what they're from. Thanks.

Last night, while scrolling through 'activities' looking for something else interesting to add to my activities page, I came across this entry: Invisible Net.

Of course I opened it to see what it contained, and was stumped by its contents. I'm uploading the files instead of thumbnailing them for easy readability.

Note entries for things like "Tesco Groceries" and remember that I'm in the US! And what's up with "Wun Zinn - Myanmar Book Store?"

I just upgraded to a Samsung Galaxy S10e from a Galaxy S7. I read all the tutorials that I could find which is helpful as this phone has a number of different features. I find that forums are often the best way to get help when all other avenues have failed. I am an older woman retired from IT and trying to keep up. ;-)

I have a new Samsung Galaxy S10e phone (upgrade from S7). I have read several tutorials about using it and also about using the camera. However, I can't figure this issue out: several times I have been trying to take a photo and all that happens is that the display screen shows a line with markers and the number 1.0. If I press the take-photo button again, the line just flashes. This is extremely annoying. Other times the photo button simply takes a photo. I make no changes to any settings. The screen optimizer is on and the two trees icon is active.
Help!!

Contact numbers are showing up instead of names on some of my texts. It was fine and all of a sudden some aren't showing up and I haven't changed anything that I know. I have restarted and checked allowance and it is all ok. I have scanned several sites to find an answer but to no avail.

Once my flash drive is attached to my G6, how do I download the data which is on my flash drive? Is the data automatically directed to the 'Downloads' app on my phone?

Just like google doc, multiple people can edit same doc, is there a way for Android Studio to do the same thing?
