What Music Player can show me the file name and or the complete path?

I have a fairly large collection of music files on my smartphone. Still my library has a lot of wrong tags. I hate it especially when one album comes up several times in album view (I use Phonograph for a good look) because the album tag on some files are still wrong. My latest case is a little bit strange as I cannot find the album that I can easily play on the SD card. Obviously it does not have my standard file name convention: Bach - Violin Concertos [Faust] should it be but it is nowhere to be found.

I need a music player that does not only give me the tags title and album but additionally the real file name and complete path of the file. What player can do this?

Root Anyone Have an Alcatel Avalon V?

Just saw this phone on Verizon's lineup now as a budget level smartphone. Honestly, besides its terrible screen resolution and iffy battery, the chipset itself isn't that bad, it's what I had in my old Moto E4 and it was pretty snappy on AOSP.

If anyone has one of these, let me know how it performs for you. Granted, I'm not expecting miracles, but perhaps the OS isn't as bloated as I'm thinking it is. Either way though, perhaps we can try some methods to get the bootloader unlocked and get root privileges. I know it's a Verizon phone and the chances are low, but it's worth a shot considering the Orbic Wonder worked...

S8+ dismiss alarm not working.

I use my alarm each morning to get up. The last few days when the alarm goes off I press the dismiss button and it doesn't stop the alarm. I unlock the phone and turn off the alarm and it keeps going off. I've tried to shut the phone down and it won't let me. After 10 minutes or so it finally shuts down. Also since this has started happening when the alarm goes off there is some kind of daily news window that pops up that wasn't ever there before. I don't want this daily news display but I can't figure how to get rid of it either, it seems to be the problem as this never happened before it showed up. Anybody has anything like this. This is a S8+

No notification sounds at all now

I initially had SMS notification sound. Then, I installed unread-counter. It worked great for a few days, then unread-counter stopped working, so I uninstalled. After that, I installed and uninstalled 4 or 5 different counters to try them out.

With this very last counter, any incoming SMS has not made any notification sound. I checked the SMS app's notification sound as well as Moto E4's manufacturer's settings Notification sound. They are still checked and be designated the sounds I want.

I just wonder if my frequent installations and uninstallations confuse my phone. Since the counters had to be granted to all accesses, they not only overwrite but also mess up with Moto E4's settings??

So, I uninstalled the counter totally and see if the Moto E4's setting notification sound would come back, but nope!!!

Please help!

Offer for free a paid app?

Hi guys!

I have this paid app and I would like to be able and offer it for free to specific email accounts/users.
I know that by changing it into a free to download app I won't be able to turn it back to the paid version and I don't want to upload a new free version neither as I wouldn't like me app installation number to be split into two apps.

Do you know or would you recommend a way I can make this possible?
Thanks!

Spam calls and Google FI

When I got my pixel2 on FI , i was amazed how proactive the spam calls were blocked before even it rings.
I don't know what happened that the good spam blocking app was messed up. Now, every morning a spam call with area code of 817 wakes me up. it's not even that, it goes to voice mail and I have to manually delete it.
The only thing you can do now is to manually add the spam number to black list, it says block and report the number, but i'm not sure if it helps at all.
I hope getting the pixel4 and moving to VZ will solve the problem, do you guys on VZ have better luck?
Is there any option to block calls with a certain area code?

Help, Andrioid stuck at 4g Screen

Hi Guys, I am having a issue with my phone. I have a ZTE- (Bolton), and it is stuck at the Boost screen with the 4g symbol on it. It has been this way for about 3 days. I am able to get into recovery mode and restart and even tried for "reboot to bootloader" and it just does the same thing. i have even tried to clear the cache partition and it still just sticks to that boost screen once i restart it. So my question is, since i have a ton of pictures and stuff on it ( i don't want to loose) and i cant get past that screen, is there a way for me to get it back? or do i have to just wipe and reload and Hope and pray that there is some software that will actually work on it to recover my stuff? Pics below.

Android Default Camera

Alcatel Raven model A574BL using Safelink service, limited monthly data has probably run out, no way to know. Cannot connect to the Play store.

Want to STOP camera from "counting down" to take a picture. I want ONE CLICK picture function.

Trying now to replace the default Camera app.
Used Windows 7 PC to go to app store online, downloaded "Open Camera", connected phone to PC with cable,
but it is INVISIBLE--- No App anywhere for Open Camera.
It shows up nowhere on phone or computer.

changing phones = not easy

well better than expected but my decision to buy my wife a new version of her old Sony XA phone has taken up most of the day...

many things went better after connecting the two with the 'OK Google' copy my device' assistance. But.. remembering to upload WhatsApp first.. or you get the last back up.. I did a straight copy of the old MSD card to a larger one and no photos are sorted, in Album, by date anymore.. just a mess.

Getting icons in the same place (my wife has OCD)

And lastly i cant sort this one out.. of the four pages where you can 'normally' put whatever you like on them or delete unwanted apps; the extreme left page is populated already with a smaller Google search bar and some social news section tha scrolls forever... How on earth do you reclaim that?

I can't seem to press/hold anything o the page.. it is like it is all permanent. Even large widgets can be deleted/moved.. but this?

Any pointers?
