So today, Sat. in the p.m. EDT, my vzw N10+ gave itself a factory reset while at peace in my pocket. The same place where I've worn my phone (left or right pants pocket by itself) since my Note 5 days. No recent drops, and in a "rugged" (Samsung) case. I have the accidental touch protection feature enabled. This has never happened before to any cell phone I've ever owned.

I find it would be very unlikely under these conditions that the phone would have gone through whatever number if fingerprint and/or PIN attempts on its own. It was running stock launcher and not rooted.

Should I:

• Ask vzw for a new one since this baby is only 3 weeks and one day old. Also because this seems very unlikely to happen on its own and I want to minimize the chances of the issue recurring, plus all the work setting it up just right, or,
• Just say "oh well" and put her back together again and live like it never happened.

Thanks in advance for any sage advice.

I have disabled a number of apps on my phone, but 2 of the apps will auto enable themselves each time I startup my phone/open Play Store/update or uninstall an app.

The 2 apps are:
Chrome
Photos

Any workarounds? There is no issues with other apps that I have disabled other than these 2.

My phone - Xiaomi Mi A3

I have the option on some apps to transfer them from Internal to External. Thing is, it doesn't seem to actually do this. In fact, when I look on the Internal apps, the app (Let's call the example app FOODGRAZE) is there and when I look on External, it is there too.

When I uninstall it from Internal, it also uninstalled from External leading me to believe FOODGRAZE isn't actually moved to External as the phone claims it is.

When I turn on Developer Option to force Internal to External, this makes no difference either. Same situation.

The whole point to my conundrum is because I only have 64GB Internal storage, I have 150GB External storage.

According to my Storage in settings I have 10GB left.

How can I solve this issue? Would rooting my phone force it to actually be on my External? I don't want to root.. but 64GB isn't anything in this day and age.

I only got a Samsung because my old Samsung tablet actually transferred stuff to the SD card.

But my S9 is not doing this.

Will there be an update for the Note 10+ regarding the camera Quick Preview setting missing from the Note 10+, my wife has it on her S10+ but the button is not there for the Note 10+ ?
Thanks !

I set up my sd card to be used as internal memory

I have a new larger and faster sd card that i now want to use for this

It seems like this is impossible without wiping the previous card and all its data so my question is this, how can i move all my data off the sd card set up as internal storage and back to my phones actual internal storage?

Anyone know what to do in TWRP when you install a new update?

I am wondering if anyone has go SMS pro and if so if they are able to use a custom notification for when they recieve a text message? I have tried lots of things that I did on my S7 and nothing seems to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi, just joined to ask this.

I'm having various problems, so I'm looking at my phone in File Explorer. I've learnt (about five minutes ago) that the Emulated/0 folder is only virtual (clue's in the name, eh). Horrible feeling that perhaps I've deleted a lot of photos without meaning to, but haven't given up hope yet... not quite...

1. Is there ANY way of viewing files if the filename begins with "." ?
2. How to find out where a file really is, if it shows as being in emulated/0?
3. Is it possible for a file to be in emulated/0 when it really doesn't exist at all (any longer)?

For example, I can (on the phone) see a picture named foxy.jpg. When I look at its properties, it is in fact .foxy.jpg.

The files in question aren't hidden, but I have hidden files visible both on my file manager app and in Windows. I've tried searching with a wonderful Windows app called Search Everything, but it can't see anything at all on the phone - and it shows the drive as a long string that means nothing to me. (I right-clicked on Internal Storage to open Everything, and it shows the drive as "::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\\\?\usb#vid_22b8&pid_2e82#ta93008bxj#{6ac27878-a6fa-4155-ba85-f98f491d4f33}\" - I expected something like "D:\"! And if I browse to select the drive, it doesn't list the phone at all.

Does Windows see the whole phone as virtual?

... Back story: I need to free up space on the phone, and have got rid of all apps I can spare, all duplicates, thumbnails, cache, cleared junk, etc etc, everything possible I believe. But it's still over-full as if I hardly deleted anything. So I decided to copy photos and videos to the laptop and then delete them from the phone - did this with all that I could find in File Explorer, but there they still were on the phone at which point I began to feel something supernatural was going on. And the phone's so stuffed full that no apps can update. I know I'm space-greedy, but it has never been this bad before.

Hi,

I am running Lineage OS 9 on my Galaxy S4.

On installing the app Live Transcribe (a Google app) the app is showing as installed in Google Play app, but I can't see find it on my phone.

How can I troubleshoot this?

Thanks

There are -lots- of Call Blocking Apps out there, but for whitelist and blacklist, most require full number (a sprinkling offer partial number for blacklist, but don't work so well). What's needed is something that does this:

1) Is call in contacts? If YES, ALLOW!

2) Is call on Whitelist? (and whitelisted number can be "begins with" so, like 508-863-****) - WHY? Because you might want to allow all calls from your office (and they have direct extension dialing). If yes ALLOW

3) Is call on Blacklist? (and blacklisted number can be "begins with" so, like 508-863-****) - WHY? Because you may know that some calls from certain exchanges are bogus (I don't know anyone who has my exchange, so I want to block it). if YES - REJECT!

4) Is call UNKNOWN (rarely happens today, but), then pass or REJECT as an option.

5) Otherwise - pass or REJECT as an option.

[REJECT = send to VM or hangup as a option.]

This would be a VERY useful app. Could someone PLEASE write this, or mod their app this way? Thanks! I would pay for it

We just returned from a trip and I noticed something that really puzzled me. We had traveled from Arizona to the Texas Gulf Coast (2 time zone changes) and when I picked up my S10+ in the morning I noticed a different time display. I have the lock display set up to display an analog type of clock with a second hand, and that is what I normally see, but while on the Gulf Coast I saw two digital clock displays next to each other, one with the local time and one with the time at home.

The display was very helpful and I am not complaining, but it was gone when we traveled a bit toward home and were only a single time zone from our local time. Then it was back to a single analog type clock even though we were not in our home time zone.

Can anyone tell me what was going on with the phone?

I love ColorNote. I got it on my very first android and have used it ever since. Lately though, ColorNote isn't enough. Hopefully someone here can help me out. I want a free form database as close to ColorNote as possible but I want the ability to save photos with the notes.

Any suggestions?

Hello All!
Over the last two weeks I've been struggling to fix my tablet. Other forums have tried to help and the local mobile repair shops wont touch it. Long story short I messed up flashing the Xposed framework got caught in a bootloop and then somehow pretty much erased everything except the Odin Download screen. I've tried flashing many different firmwares (stock, custom and combo) with Odin v3.13.1, v3.12.5 and v3.12.7.... different USB cables, 2 different computers with different versions of Windows and every USB port between them. I've tried with and without the PIT file, with every option checked and unchecked. I've looked at Miracle Box Cracked and Samsung Tool Pro. I've just started with Heimdall.
Basically the end result it the same: No PIT partition, Complete Write Failed, or most recently on Heimdall I recived and Error -1 Failed to Send Data, "Odin" something, or other. I've only been playing with custom Roms and the like for about 3 months. Two weeks ago I didn't know what Ubunto was. I really have no clue what I'm doing at this point. Can anyone help? I have screen shots and there are more details here, https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-a/help/sm-t580-hopeless-t3965037
Thanks in advance for advice.

Hello,

As an alternative to a dedicated audio recorder, I'd like to use an Android smartphone to record interviews.

To check the audio in real time, is there a way to use the internal microphone and an external headset, or even some Y-shaped contraption that includes an external microphone and an external headset connected through the audio jack?

Thank you.

Hi

I rethemed my tablet and my monospace font has gone. The same font always comes up whatever I select in apps that support font selection. I need monospace for some apps like code editors. Anyone know how to reinstall a monospace font?

My tablet in on Android 8 and EMUI 8.

All the best

Patrick

Good morning,

We are organizing a joke for a friend's birthday, and as far as we are concerned we recorded a series of audio that we should send them that day as a voice message.

We tried to record directly from the phone, but the various audios lost quality and felt a bit "robotic". Is there a way to send them and have them receive voice messages?

N.B. Telegram, not Whatsapp.

Thanks to all in advance, I wish you a good day!

I have been using this MiA1 for almost two years now. Off late, i am finding that the apps has become slow.
1. When I close an app, for example YouTube, go refer something in Chrome and get back to YouTube app, the app loads from the beginning, not from the page or video where i left. And when i get back to Chrome, the pages are not readily loaded, it starts to load from the beginning. This is not the case during the initial days of my phone.
2. Google map has become so slow. Normally, i wear headphones and get guided by the map's voice commands. Off late, it instructs me,like 'turn left', when i have already crossed the place and i am like 500metre ahead. This is a huge pain.

I tried deleting cache files using the inbuilt 'files' as well as app by app. Also, yes i tried freeing up storage and i have more than 20gb free space now. Anyone has any idea what will solve the problem?

can anybody give me easier tutorial for Google Pay API than the official one !

For some strange reason I can only just hear when making or receiving calls.

The speaker works fine and so does the headphones ?
Volume is set to high ?
All apps are up to date and so is the latest software for the phone ?
Nothing is covering the area where the sound comes from ?
Phone never dropped or damaged ?

I rang EE yesterday and the tech's took me through all the various fixes without luck.
As the phone is only 18 months old it's still under warranty (24 months) so its going back to Samsung for a fix.

Just wondered if anything this forum could enlighten me as to the problem.

Thanks

My question is I was looking at my husband's Google activity and it shows in 5 days 50 messages are on his activity don't don't match up to any text in his inbox. I ask him but like always he don't know why it showed up. To me it's a little shady. What causes messages to show up on Google activity that's not in the text messages on the phone none of those messages was in his text messages. Is he using some sort of messenger app??

Downloaded AC Central app and cannot login. I have been logging in with one of my Google accounts on browser but my credentials from that account don’t work with the app.

Any suggestions?

I would like to be able to use app on my phone but don’t want to create anew account.

Thanks!

I found a great app that disables bloatware and other apps easily!

It is called CCSWE App Manager Pro.

I was able to disable several bothersome apps very easily.

I disabled Sprint Installer,Mobile ID and Connections Optimizer. These apps were driving me nuts. Both Mobile ID and Connections Optimizer constantly restarted! Mobile ID would eat up 30% or more of my battery and would not stay off.

Now, none of these even appears in my App lists in System Preferences and no more problems with them.

Pro version was $2.49 for license and was well worth it.

Root? Ok so is it possible to root the stylo4 lm-q710cs from cricket?
