Can't mute notifications

Hello. I'm hoping someone can help me. I have an app that notifies me throughout the day when it's time to take my meds/vitamins. I set it up so that I can get the pop-up without any sound (it's disruptive when I'm at work). Since the evening of Thursday, September 12th, the app has been making a sound when the notification pops up. I've tried everything I can think of to stop it: checked the app's settings, silenced the notifications volume, I even checked for app and phone updates. The only thing that works is when I put the media on mute. It's annoying and frustrating. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Interesting issue

I found a brand new game began playing it, a few days ago they updated the app and now it kills a full battery within minutes of using and that's not all... It now puts sucha strain on my Wi-Fi that it actually shuts it off for the entire household... I am an i.t. professional (pc).. Here's my odd question... Is it possible for a dev to create an app that appears as a game but in fact has a more sinister purpose such as accessing your personal information or worse to simply wreck havok with your equipment and if you suspect a dev of doing this is there any way to view the apps code without doing it illegally?

Moisture Detected - Strange daily behavior

Something odd is happening with my Note 10+. Every morning for the past few days I'll pick up my phone and use it for a few minutes and the Moisture Detected message shows up in the notifications bar. I'm positive there is no moisture. I'll reboot and after a couple minutes it goes away, but immediately when it disappears I get a notification that T-Mobile Visual Voicemail could not connect to my voicemail box. It's always at the exact same moment one message is replaced by the other. I can't imagine how they would be related.

Instagram Not Loading

Hi, hope someone can help.

Instagram has stopped working on my son's phone (Samsung Galaxy S3 on kitkat 4.4.4). When you try to open it, the screen goes blank for a second, and then it goes back to the homepage.

I have done the following;

- Restarted phone.
- Cleared cache and data.
- Uninstalled / reinstalled the app.
- Googled the problem (only solutions I can find are the ones above).

Is there anything else I can be trying? I wondered if IG had updated and the current version doesn't work on older Android, in which case, is there a way to roll back to an earlier version?

Thanks in advance!

Help Cannot see zip file in Bluestacks Media Manager

Hi folks, new here.

A problem i am experiencing is, i use Viber, and i archive my messages, and it creates a zip file in Viber. However, i don't see it in Media Manager. The previous time it worked.

I have no idea what's going on. Exporting to windows is the easy part. Having it appear in Media Manager, that's a different story.

Please assist
Thanks in advance

Bad connection

Been with Verizon for years. Connectivity has never been an issue. I show good connection...until I leave settings and choose either an app or site I've Googled.
Verizon prepaid, new phone number and phone. I'm afraid it's this phone. Orbic Wonder&#128580;. Only other time this has happened to me was a Boost account and the APN settings were outdated. Unfortunately Verizon doesn't allow a poor dumb customer to alter or add an APN. Any advice?

right now have been using the Foodi Ninja. it is a all in one cooking apparatus. it can pressure cook, broil, air crisps, bake, and is a slow cooker as well.

this is something, i'm thinking about getting:

Ooni Karu - A Powerful Portable Wood-Fired Pizza Oven


i just need to either find a place to get a great pizza dough or learn how to make one.

Argh...My N10+ factory-reset while in my pocket

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.

Redeye

Transfering Apps from Internal Storage to External doesn't seem to truly be doing such.

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.
