Message Automatically Generated on my Phone

Hi! Just wanna ask about this text message generated on my phone, though it was not sent successfully because I don't have load or balance at that time. It's just I don't remember purchasing anything online, not even once. I check on Google Play to see if I can track an order or something but I can't find anything. This is new to me so if anyone can tell what's the proper action to take, that will be much appreciated.

Pattern password

Here's a great suggestion I just came up with.

This is for Android Pattern Security.

What about a 3 way pattern password system that allows the person to make 3 different patterns, that require a person to get on their phone.

Here's the thing, sound proofing only does so much and when your out and about, you don't people getting a hold of your phone know your pattern password.

There's only so many ways that can made with a pattern lock and the way programming is, you don't want certain people in your stuff for for good reason.

Let's continue.

It would be a great suggestion to set a timer for it, once a day, by our means, to make, create, set a timer for the 3 way pattern daily check in.
It also provides, increased security measures if they, set up their password for when their phone power's off, (just in case it's stolen) and would require whatever that 3 way daily pattern (or more. Should be a limit but around 10 would be cool for some lol) in order to gain access to the phone.

Another great one added with it, would be a freaking, fingerprint scan before or after the pattern sequence lol.

Endless Windows problems, yet fools keep using it. Stop!

This article about millions of Window$ 10 users being screwed, again, after an update, seriously sounds like I wrote it:

"For Microsoft and Windows 10 right now, it never rains but it pours. So it should come as no surprise that, despite recent update changes, the run of frustrating, limiting, chaotic and quite bizarre updates continues with new warnings every Windows 10 user needs to know about. "

It goes on to say that two recent updates are "breaking boot-ups, printing, the Start Menu, Windows Search and VMWare Workstation. And that’s just what we know so far. "

With its long history of being a shitty operating system, causing untold billions of lost man-hours from crashes, BSODs, viruses, ransomware, and system-breaking updates, why do fools keep using it?!

Are companies ignorant that there are better choices, or do they not care about all the downtime--and lost revenue--their current choice causes? :thinking:

I absolutely would not be okay, as a business owner, with losing thousands of man-hours each year to a piece of crap OS. And I don't understand why some -are- okay with it.

For the uninitiated, I'm suggesting that these clueless, helpless fools switch to a real OS--the one behind the device you're probably using here--Linux. Fast, secure, stable, beautiful, powerful, all without an endless stream of downtime. Check out my favorite Linux distribution, Kubuntu, or any of the plethora of others to see for yourself what computing should be like...

Help Firewall app for Android 4.4.2 - Solved

I tried firewall apps on different Android phones and it worked well on the newer phones.

I tried many no-root and several rooted firewall apps on Android 4.4.2 and none of them worked well on this version.

They would work for a short while and then stop doing their job. They would stop working immediately if the WIFI is toggled.

Does anyone have a solution or know of an app that works well.

Before replying to this, make sure that you do full testing.

Casting, while not muting the headphone output?

Hi folks!
so I'm wiring up audio in my home on the cheap. I have two tuners on two floors, with one chromecast. I will be adding another chromecast on the the other tuner at some point once I pick a tv, but for now to accomplish whole home audio I want to cast to the one chromecast, but also plug in using the headphone jack to the other tuner. problem is, once I'm casting, the headphone output is muted. is there any way to disable this?

the other reason I want to do this, is the future tv is going to be for the home theater, which I don't use much, so I really don't want to leave all the tv's on just for music, which I use almost every day, nor do I want to buy an hdmi audio extractor with a chromecast. it seems like there should be a way to configure this so I don't have to buy a ton of extra hardware and spend money when I shouldn't need to.

the other non tech way to accomplish this is interconnect the two tuners via an optical cable, but then that comes to more wires to fish through walls, which I'll do If I have to, but in a 100 year old home isn't the easiest task either...

S Pen, Smart Select issue(?)

Hi, my Note 10+ is up to date as of today, 6 Oct. 2019.

I have a suggestion \ complaint regarding Smart Select with the S Pen.

I go to extract text to place in memory and that works just fine. I extract the text and am given a choice to Copy or Share. So far, so good.

I press Copy and the selected text is save to Clipboard. I am then forced to press Back on the Navigation Bar three times before I can proceed further. This issue also existed on my Note 9 as well. Smart Select functions as it should but it is always mildly annoying that I am forced to press Back three times. I trust I explained this well.

Is this a known issue ... or is it just me?

What is the tiny light?

My new Mi Note 7 phone displays a tiny light from the bottom edge which is on / off a different times. My first guess was that it is a charging light, similar to my PC, which came on when the phone is charging. I was wrong. It shows when charging and when not charging or even connected. I have not found any mention of it anywhere and there still is no manual for this phone in English to refer to.

Help Accessibility not accessible for some apps

I have had a problem for a while with my new Mi Note 7 phone using Android 9. I cannot use a number of apps because I cannot grant the required access to them. When I click the on/off switch I am taken to another page with another switch. Clicking this produces a (too) rapidly vanishing popup which starts "If an app is blocking a permission drag the overlapping item away or close the app." I do not know what this means and I do not see anything which could be described as blocking or overlapping, but when I click the switch it will not stay set as 'on' but instantly switches to 'off.'

I have tried repeatedly, scores of times with a dozen apps I cannot use, the latest being CCleaner. On another Forum I got factually wrong advice regarding Accessibility so I hope I can get this sorted out here.

OpenSignal and Optus Cell towers

I live in Australia and have a new Optus X Start, which runs Nougat Go version.
I have a very poor signal at home, so I have an external Yagi antenna with a booster/repeater, that gets me 5 bars.
When I use OpenSignal to fine tune the direction of my Yagi, it tells me it is connected to an Optus cell tower located in dense rainforest in a National Park, with a cell id and LAC. I don't believe this is correct.
I can't find anything relating these cell id and LAC numbers to any Optus list of towers in Australia.
Can anyone guide me to how to find which tower I'm connected to?
