This phone is the worst phone i have ever seen when it comes to durability!

If you havent been aware that the newly fixed version of the fold is kinda terrible if you llok at the video below by "JerryRigsEverything" you will see why its a terrible device to take outdoors:


Now if you really watched the video you know what i mean by its terrible if this happens to your device, to me its more to be used at hime then out doors thats if you drop it in dirt etc.

Samaung Note 3

I recently had rooted my samsung note 3, just for fun and knowledge. I had installed twrp recovery over stock rom. Then today I was just fiddling around in recovery and accidentally wiped my entire os and every shred of data in phone. My Sd card in intact. And to make things worse I flashed stock android recovery over it.
Now all I can boot into is stock recovery and odin mode. But because I wiped all the data I am not able to get my boot loader odin to connect with my pc odin.

Can anyone help me with it?
Or is it just to be thrown away??
Please help.

Help Moto G6 home screen bottom Circle, Square and Delta gone missing

A few days ago my Moto G6 updated from Android 8 to Android 9, and:
My Home screen bottom controls on the G6, the circle, square and delta, went missing, and I want them back! What happened was - when I wanted to quit out of an app the Square (and then the X) stopped working. The Square would only bring a shrunken image of the app, I think a Moto 'feature', but there was no X to quit the app. So I fooled around with some setting or other

and now I just have a Horizontal line down there where the Circle, Square and Delta used to be. That Line does do some things, but not what I want, and no Quit X. Help!

USB Device

The Samsung Galaxy J3 Star is my daily driver sorta phone. I've been using it for about a year. I use a USB flash drive to transfer files between the phone and my PCs (I do NOT plug them directly in to the PCs!) I think maybe I made a mistake...

I was about to transfer an application file from my phone to my gaming PC using the USB flash drive. When I went to unplug the device, I pulled down the notifications on the top of the screen and then accidentally tapped the CLEAR option! Now whenever I plug in the flash drive, it will not appear in the notifications anymore! This is an ordeal, because now I have to add the Device Maintenance widget to my home screen and tap it in order to dismount and unplug my flash drive! I need help!

Disable the "Force Stop" option in the application

Hello,

In a mobile application we have developed, the user should not close the application. We did this with the background services, but when you select the application from the application list, the "force" to "stop" options of the "uninstall" and "force to stop" options need to be deactivated. Is there any way I can do this, except when I'm rooting an application?

Thank you.

Gboard - Lefties - Manage Positions Of Buttons (Spacebar mainly)

Hello all,

I use my left thumb to hit the spacebar. The emjoi button is on the left side of the spacebar and I ALWAYS hit that stupid emoji button instead of the spacebar.

iPhone you can manage your keyboard and move buttons around. Gboard you cannot. I do not want to use the 'one hand' because the letters are then too small. All I want to do is move the emjoi button to the other side of the spacebar and the spacebar over. I also tried hiding the emjoi button in the options but then it just turns that button to a comma.

I tried developer options, RTL but that doesn't change the Gboard, but it changes other stuff.

Any suggestions?

Honda Civic bluetooth connection to Samsung J1 Mini Prime

I have connected my Samsung J1 mini prime to a Honda Civic 1.8 2015 but it disconnects during calls. Sometimes the calls connect to the car but the sound does not come through.
I have tried turning the phone off and on again but this only gives temporary relief. Neither has disconnection and reconnection of the phone helped.
WhatsApp calls connect but there is no sound and I have to switch off the car in order to disconnect them.
Someone help please.

Router Suggestions !!

OK, Long story short, figured I get some feedback from the community rather then reading all the ones in Google search that seem more or less for promotion reasons.

I currently have a Netgear Nighthawk R6700, Was great for a few years, but now I've tried everything I could think to figure out the current issue, without flashing a 3rd party DDWRT.

Hard wired to a Ethernet port to a PC I have no issues, speeds are 200 MBPS , but Wifi seems to be a different issue, Wifi gets pretty close to that, but by the next day it drops to 12 to 25 MBPS and I have to reboot the router daily. I've tired all I could think of, and too many to explain, but I'm open to suggestions before I change.

1) Router is update always to latest FW
2) I have also tried downgrading the FW and pretty much the same issue.
3) I know I can set a timer to reboot the router daily, but I shouldn't have to do that.
4) I've changed several settings, suggested and no change.
5) I am only using 2.4 Band, I may tried activating both 2.4 and 5 to see, but not yet, as you all know 2.4 is much fast then 5.
6) I have about 10 devices connected in the house to WiFi, and have tried different channels also.
7) The router is on one floor of a single story house, and always in range within 50ft, but even right next to the router the speeds are off until I reboot.
8) I even have recently installed a Netgear Mesh centrally located in the house, to see if that would help and no I still have to reboot daily.

So I'm looking for other thoughts or recommendations on a replacement, before I go out and buy another one. A router shouldn't have these issue after 2 years.

I may take a stab in the dark when I get back from vacation, and go to a different brand rather then the one most recommend, so I may give TP Link a shot to see. I will so see what you all have to say or suggest first.

Ask away and or suggest away.

Apps set to auto update but not updating.

Moto G5 on Android 8.1.0.

I used to do manual updates on apps from the Play Store but got fed up with getting notifications daily telling me updates were available so set it to auto-update.

But I still get notifications saying "Updates available for app x, app y, app z etc.". Touching them takes me to the Play Store where, sometimes, it starts updating when I get there, other times I have to click the Update button.

I then get a notification telling me it has finished!

What I want is never to hear from the Play Store and be 100% certain it is auto-updating apps. Isn't that how auto-update is supposed to work? Any ideas?
