For no apparent reason my Cat s60 decided not to pull down the notifications bar. After trying a bunch of things i did a factory reset but the problem remains! Any ideas?

OK I got a crazy bug happening to me and I can't sort it out. Your litterally my last stop in sorting this.

So, I'm running Incipient 14.1-20180902 Unofficial-owens on my Moto E-4-plus .. Its been running great.

A few months ago (July), i got a new car. A 2016 VW Golf with a super cool infotainment system. I paired my phone before leaving the dealer. Phone synced up perfect. Off to the races.

About 2 weeks ago, I was driving listening to audio vie the phone Bluetooth and I lost my connection. "No big deal, I'll re-pair it when i get home" i said

I got home, did the re-pair, and saw that I could change my cars's bluetooth ID . I thought I would be cheeky and change the name of the car to "Tim's VW" . no big deal. THUS began my troubles.

In renaming the car I screwed up the relationships already stored in the car and the phone. I couldn't get the phone to re-pair. It continually came up with a "wrong pass-key" error on the phone. I banged my head on a wall for about an hour - factory - reset the car system which set the name back to the default , my phone immediately paired and all was good... I thought.

I then discovered that my phone contacts hadn't synced. I jumped into settings and had to "check" the contact box in the blue tooth settings.... ok ... should be good togo? nope! ... no contacts ...

I have erased and re erased Bluetooth settings, cache etc etc on the phone.. factory wiped the car a couple times. The phone connects to the car fine, even syncs text messages... still no contacts. I took the car into VW, hoping it was a car issue... nope, they were able to connect and sync an iphone and another android...

So I'm left with the issue being my phone...... I'm lost. Do any of you have any thoughts at all? I'd rather not wipe the phone and start again ... but i'm going nutz

Would like to use it with Android mobile devices... finding that the adapters I've seen are too pricey. Seeking guidance.

Hi, I would like to get the recyclerview visible when the visibility of a recyclerView for example in android studio is gone. But I want to set this control on the .xml side. I think that's possible? Any idea?

Ok my tablet will not fully boot up. I've tried the holding power button and volume down button etc and it will reboot untill it gets to the word Samsung in center of screen where it gets bright and then fades and the gets bright again but will not move past this. Any suggestions to get it to fully turn on?

Have the Aristo 2 PLUS. All three of my earbuds stopped working the same day.. Looked around the features but could not find anything that would offer diagnostics on this. Guidance sought.

Hoping to find some but at least one that shows live NFL Games.

Douse anyone know why Google stopped Google+ as I enjoyed using it a lot?

I recently discovered that different cell phones handle "Clearing Recently Used Apps" differently. Some just clear the apps from the list while the LG V40 does a "Forced Close" on those apps. It is causing a problem with my calendar app, it screws up the reminder alarms. Does anyone know if there is a way to keep the force close from occurring on the single app? (or all apps) I've looked in the phone's settings for the app without luck. I'm discussing with the app's author about including a setting to do that (if possible). Any help will be appreciated.

Some reason the app is having problems to update as it downloads the update and then when it is installing it it stops and then go's back to the install button.

Some reason I can't find a app that I used to work my watch that I have used on other phones in the passed but it's not bitfit.

yes, I know this is an old problem and often answered, but some questions still keep bugging me.
When watching video's from my (in-house) mediaserver on my (Android) phone and tablet, I can often not 'fast-foward' or jump to somewhere in the movie. Extremely annoying as, after every interruption, I have to re-start from the beginning.
I tried a variety of players; some courteously inform me of the problem: 'unseekable stream'. So I looked up the discussions on that subject and learned about missing 'index' data and ways to add them to my video files.
Now that's all well and good, BUT questions remain:
First, how can it be that I do NOT have this problem on my (windows) notebook? Sure, I do not see 'thumbnail' images when moving the slider, but that's a minor detail; I can jump to anywhere in the movie quite fast. This doesn't rime with the explanations I red for this error. Are all Android players simply dumber or less capable then their windows counterparts? Why would that be?
My second question is more pragmatic: isn't there a media-server around which automatically adds the neccessary indexes to my video files? (Adding them by hand, one by one, is a big nuisance.)
I'd be grateful for answers to either of these questions.

I have an HTC Desire S which I've owned from new. I currently use an HTC 10 but want to revive the Desire S for my partner's use, but I can't find a way of making it usable. It's running Android 2.3.5 and when I try to do a software update through the settings menu I'm told "Your phone is up to date" and that there are no updates available. I've seen that there was a possibility of upgrading to ICS back in the day, but I haven't had any success. I've tried various guides for rooting, installing custom ROMs etc, but everything seems to run aground - eg crucial files (su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip) are no longer available, Android Market no longer works etc. I've tried unlocking the bootloader from the HTC developer site (on a linux desktop) but I'm unable to get the necessary token (I get stuck on the "awaiting device" message...). I'm at my wits end. This is a device in near mint condition and I can't believe there's not a way to upgrade it to a slightly more recent version of Android, at least to one using the Play Store. I don't particularly want to root it or do anything fancy ... Can someone offer some sound advice or point me to a currently available, up to date guide? Details of the phone are as follows:

HTC Desire S S510e
IMEI:355067047883004
IMEI SV: 03
Serial No.: HT13VTJ08402

My xcover 4 is giving all parameters in black letters on blue windows.
It is impossible to read.

Any solutions ?
Thanks

google play has been working ok, now I cannot get onto page, the little indicator is going around in a clockwise direction on a blank white page.

I had a Nokia assigned to my Google app page which I no longer use, my phone added recently is my new Honor 9x, I have been happily adding new apps to this phone, when I looked at my recent downloads I noticed they were showing up on my old Nokia which is no longer in use, how can I make sure my downloads go to my new device and not the redundant one ?
thanks

A friend gave me a Galaxy S10 SM-G973F/DS for factory reset, unlock, root, etc. But after factory reset, in the device came out on the screen:"The phone is protected by Knox Cloud Services" I have tried several ways, but I could not. And the phone get in Recovery Mode, but Download Mode not.

So I took a usb hard drive in windows and made virtual ram then stuck it in my android TV and the TV seemingly runs faster 'as much as it could with ram improvement not account cpu and gpu' so I'm wondering if this is actually happening and if the key may be to otg virtual ram to ones device to speed it up

No need for NFC or any personal smart-devices, you can just grin and pay your restaurant bills, etc.

Redefining the term “happy meal”, fast food fanatics in China now just need to flash their smiles to earn their dinner.
Alibaba’s Ant Financial has teamed up with KFC in the eastern Chinese city of Hangzhou to debut its news “smile to pay” service.

Only in China of course.

I'd never used Smart Lock until recently, after getting sick of having to unlock the screen a million times a day. I set it to remain unlocked while at home, as clearly indicated under Trusted places:



(And, yes, it definitely has my home address as its location.)

But I found out yesterday at my vet's office--which is ≈4 miles from my house--that it doesn't work: it let me right in, without requiring unlocking.

So...what's the point?

I debated whether to put this here or in Lounge, since I don't know if it's specific to this phone. I guess we'll see...

So I recently got my note 10 . funny it didn't come with an SD card slot . Oh how quirky. Well ok . I can deal with out that Especially considering how much I paid for it. but that's not my biggest problem. since there's plenty of memory in here . Ok moving on .My biggest issue. Slow Wi-Fi speeds.no at first I was contributing this to my router except for all my other devices seemed to work just fine and typically does see the 300 megabits a sec down I have slated from my internet service provider. ... So I'm thinking well can't be my hardware . so it must be my phone . but just to be safe, And therefore not jump to any conclusions. I took it over my buddies house, who has gigabit speeds. Through fiber-optic. And a fiber optic router connected as well through fiber optics. Yeah I know we're all jealous. Right . Bastard. We checked on several laptops.yap that works. And several other devices. All we're receiving at least 600 to 900Mbs all but my note 10.....
It tops out at 120mbs what is a Galaxy plan on doing to fix this. My old phone did much better than that. Maybe I got a bed phone so I take it back to T-Mobile they give me a new one. Same thing. Tops out at 120 megabits per second. I'm thoroughly pissed I thought Galaxy was supposed to have a superior product.

Yep; that's correct,Note 10 Wi-Fi problems. Now you would think Galaxy would want to be superior. But no... they took a step back instead of progressing they digressed . With the recent note 10 flagship. Myself and other customers like me have all started to realize that their Wi-Fi sucks on this device. When asked to comment from Galaxy. We got no response. Tested on both gigabit equipment 10 100 equipment from cable modem to fiber optics all tests were the same . the throughoutput on these things absolutely suck. My lower end cellphones do a lot better. Now the question is Galaxy what are you going to do about this? did I really just spend $900 on a piece of crap. You took a step backwards in technology and for what reason?

Hey guys im trying to find out if i can root my phone by plugging it into my android tv box and running a root app that is a server and connects to a client app, or could i use adb, my tv box is rooted if that helps, is there a adb app that works with 2 android devices and is there a root command? Or how do i find a list of terminal commands

Somtmes when i download a app it opens and immediately crashes, i re install and it does the same thing, i dont think the device isn't relivent since it happens on any device, the apk works on some devices but on certain devices it just opens and immediately crashes, is it a compatibility issue? And is there any way to fix it so it wont crash, already tried clearing cach im also looking for a app that could debug my apps, so it will tell me what made the app crash, it could also be a ram issue right? Ill try to clean my ram and try it again

i have a old phone, And i dont remember what email i used, i have managed to get back in, but it won't let me add any gmail accounts, ive got test dpc but it sais this app is not the owner of this device, but i added it in security device administrator, isn't that the same thing, when i try to set up a new account it says, this device is locked by factory reset protection, contact your it department 

Hi I think I may have a setting wrong somewhere.


Everytime I download a app I can only view the right half
