alcatel one touch xl factory reset from settings and hard reset?

Im trying to wipe all my personal data froman older alcatel one touch fierce xl phone i was using before getting rid of it.

Does it need a sim card or me to sign into my google account for any of these functions to work?

I tried looking for factory reset under settings and cant find that option anywhere somewhere i read its under backup but i dont sign into my google account as it would get linked back to my devices on computer google account.

I also tried the hard reset by buttons holding the power button and volume up key releasing the power button when i got to the alcatel screen and it went into the gear lightening froze screen. The only way to power it off was hold the same buttons i had used to get there.

I tried another method of holding the power button, volume up key as well as home key and it then stopped on an exclaimation point ! same thing happened i had to use the same buttons to turn it back off and onto normal power up functions.

Would anyone know where the settings reset is and if i need to be signed into my google account on phone only thing is signing in will link the device on my gmail account and be stuck that way.

As for the hard reset to erase data i cant get to that screen, Its a phone i used for a couple years it got a screen crack and purchased a replacement. The microsoft lumia 435 had no problems performing the hard reset only this alcatel one touch which should show the same r2d2 opened up for microsoft windows phones but doesnt just stops or freezes on those screens and only way back is use the same buttons pressed to power off.

Thanks where under gmail or google on the laptop can i check for linked devices, tablets, cell phones linked to my account.

This is where i learned how to attempt reset.
The only thing i see is its advertised on youtube as same phone but has an O in the middle vs the alcatel one touch i have that shows a 4 square microsoft home button in the middle.


Four stuck pending downloads in old Samsung tablet

After checking for updates, I got a list of eight or nine and chose to download all. After a while, four of them got stuck with the following warning:

Screenshot_20230517-141447.jpg
fix
It's Brazilian Portuguese and means "It was not possible to install."

Well, I know I had the Flipboard app, but uninstalled it long ago. As to the other three, I think they're all native to the Samsung tablet, an old Galaxy Tab A SM-P555M.

Why does that happen and how can I fix it, or else get rid of it, in case it's possible?

The tablet Android version, which hasn't got any update for a long time, is 7.1.1.

TIA.

How to play

Your goal is to find identical items and make matches. You can choose to match 2, 3, or 4 tiles at a time.
Keep an eye on the timer. If you run out of time, you can watch a rewarded ad to get an extra minute of play. You can repeat this process as many times as you want.
You can use coins earned from playing to unlock new floors or purchase boosters. Boosters can freeze time or eliminate 10 pairs of items.
The number of boxes appearing at the bottom of your screen depends on the difficulty level you selected.
When you pick an item, it will go into an empty box. Matching a pair will clear the boxes containing those items.
If all the boxes become full, you will lose the level and need to restart from the beginning.

Device Invisible on ADB/Fastboot

Help All, Please Help,
I recently got a OnePlus 2 for use when I'm traveling to the EU. It came(Ebay) with TWRP installed but factory reset and no root access.
Right now, all I want is comms from PC to Device. I have tried everything I can. USB Debugging is on, OEM Unlock is on, Drivers installed from the device, SDK installed, etc
What confuses me: When I plug in my Pixel 7 and type 'ADB Devices' it's recognized immediately so it seems the PC is ok.

I'm simply lost. Any advice is greatly appreciated
Thank you

HELP NEEDED

I have an android 8.1 head unit

leTV LE1 (supposedly the make and model but that relates to a mobile phone)

MT 6580

It's been working great but this week when it boots up, it cant find a home screen or launcher so it just sits there saying "Android Starting Up" Therefore I cannot access any android settings pages.

Ive tried accessing recovery options on boot but nothing seems to work.

Just for information, my unit has no physical on/off button or volume buttons, just a reset button which I held for 10 seconds but no recovery mode came up.

I'd like to reinstall a fresh copy of android on it but I've been told that USB Debugging needs to be selected but I cannot access this because I cant access any android menus on it.

Any solutions please?

Galaxy Watch 5 options

I currently have the Galaxy Watch 5 and I have two questions:
1. How can I set cycling as an auto detect workout to automatically begin when I'm riding my bike? I previously had the Active Watch 2 and cycling would automatically start. I can't find that feature with the Watch 5. In my auto detect activities, all I see are: Run/Walk, Elliptical, Rowing machine and Dynamic Workout (really, what is that???), and they are all turned on.
2. Does anyone know if pickleball will be added to Samsung Health as a workout? I see tennis, table tennis, badminton and racquetball, but not pickleball. Which one of those should should I use to accurately record my pickleball games?
Thanks!

Why does Nokia make weak phones at high prices?

In last year Nokia made weak phones on hight price let me show some examples:Nokia 10 realeased on April 2021cpu 4 x 2 4 x 1.5 good for that time vs Nokia g 11 CPU 2x 1.6 6x 1.6 released on April 2022 both with 4 GB RAM vs Nokia g 22 CPU 2x 1.6 6x 1.6 released on feb. 2023 4 gb ram.my other Inconvenience is about the name of phones when someone heard g11 or g 22 the thoughts about performances are higher than g10 because of names.in the other hand I am talking about prices....Nokia sell to me through market g22 at the same price of g10 but it has low performances.

Is This an Android, or Samsung Problem, or What?

Hey Gang, riddle me this. I just downloaded about 110 mp3 files to my SD card phone after re-mixing them with Cakewalk/BLab and Audacity 3.2. The problem is ALL of them play fine when I play them on OneDrive. But ON MY PHONE ONLY, for a handful of RANDOM tunes some don't play AT ALL. They play fine on Audacity on my Desktop. Then, I loaded the VLC Android App, since it's probably the highest rated media app on the market, and tried to play some of those same files that WOULDN'T play on my usual app, Music Player. The same songs still wouldn't play.
I recorded every one of these songs the exact same way with Audacity 3.2 to my Desktop. I've never had this problem before. There's no rhyme or reason that I can think of, and I may not have an engineering degree, but I DO know a thing or 2, but I've never seen anything like this. ANY suggestions? BTW, I DO HAVE ALL PROPER LICENSES! But even if I didn't, that still wouldn't make sense because ALL of the other 1500 tunes I have on my SD card play just fine. It's ONLY SOME random tunes that I put on there yesterday.

android sdk location should not contain whitespaces

Hi,

For my unity project I need a higher sdk. When I want to change it in android studio (settings -> andriod SDK) I get the message:
"android sdk location should not contain whitespaces"

The location is: "Program files" with whitespaces
C:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editor\2021.3.24f1\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer\SDK

What I try:
- I can't rename the map because it cause a lot of issues
- I fill: c:\progra~1\Unity\Hub\Editor\2021.3.24f1\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer\SDK
but it doesn't work, I cant select this directory

In android studio I have android api 33 at the directory:
C:\Users\werne\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk
It doesn't work when I fill this location in Unity.

Anyone a idea?
