Help Phone stuck at blue screens (Use the Emergency recovery function..." or Download mode (Odin))

I have a Samsung Galaxy A3 (SM-A320FL). For the past several hours, I've been trying to flash stock rom through Odin. I have no idea why, but all attempts failed. After the first or second attempt, I tried to reboot the phone, but it got stuck at a black screen with a message saying "Device storage corrupt, the data partition has been corrupted", asking me to factory reset. There was a reset button, which eventually brought me to the same screen after pressing it.

I tried following other people's directions by reinstalling Samsung drivers (drivers were most likely not the problem since my phone got detected by Odin), factory resetting via twrp, which couldn't be done because it failed to mount /data. I couldn't even repair /data BEFORE flashing stock rom, that's why I tried flashing stock rom in the first place.

After all of that, my last resort was trying to flash a few more times, once putting in AP file only and once only BL and AP. I probably tried flashing too many times because I can't even enter twrp since turning off the phone quickly leads you to a blue screen with an error sign and the text "An error has occured while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software." I tried installing Smart Switch and connecting it with my phone, but it doesn't support my phone. Though I don't think it would have saved me.

So, am I a murderer? Is there any other way to save my phone or can I schedule a funeral?

Uploading edited images

If I want to upload images to Facebook but I crop some images first, the cropped up images always display as the most recent, meaning I have to search where they came in the sequence. This is very annoying as my previous phone saved a copy in the same place as the original. Is there an app or a way I can solve this? I have a redmi phone. Thanks.

LifeAfter Zombie Survival 3rd Person Shooter - Official Game Thread

Welcome to the thread today I wanna share a game with you all that I think is amazing

pic00_29aad70.jpg


Before we get started what is 'LifeAfter' you say?

Introduction (Took straight from Google Play!):

Survive together!

A blizzard of devastating virus beleaguered the world, bringing about the catastrophic disintegration of orders and covenants.

When the night falls, the world turned into a living hell, swarming with Infecteds. When you finally caught a break, and discovered a place to rest your sore feet, you found yourself exhausted, famished, low on ammo and plagued by the coldness of night. You can hear the growling of Infecteds, approaching, and you know it's going to be another night of angst and horror. How much longer can YOU survive?

LifeAfter, a mobile game depicting the survival of humanity in a post virus apocalyptic world, is officially launched.

Live on, together.

-Keep your will to survive and hopes alive.
The world you once knew so well is now a foreign place in the wave of a virus epidemic. The life of survivors is constantly being threatened by diseases, famine, cold, Infecteds and organizations with hidden agendas. You'll have to stay calm amid all these dangers and believe there is a way out.

-Live on with anything available.
Explore every inch of the post-apocalyptic world - be it in the city full of Infecteds, or an abandoned mine, or a broken-down college, or a freezing cold forest up in the highlands - to scavenge essential materials in order to survive. You'll need to know how to hunt and gather for food, how to tend to your wounds and make arms to protect yourself.

-Encounter other survivors.
You might encounter other survivors on your scavenging runs. You'll have to be extra careful, for they might attack you for loot. If they are amiable, you can choose to share with them your food, ammo and adventure stories.

-Build the final sanctuary for humanity.
With the trusted friends you made along the way, you can find a place to camp and build, one brick at a time, until you have the final sanctuary for humanity. Together, around the campfire, humans may once again fend off the long, cold night with hugs.

This game is so amazing I got distracted when I was supposed to tell my girl that she needed to go to bed for work tomorrow..don't judge me lol....with amazing graphics supporting up to 4K resolution you will die to try this game...not literally die it's a metaphor lol.

Android G7 slim Q

I've had the phone for a while now and I just went in to rename a couple of pictures that I took, and once I rename them they came back as 3/4 of the picture are grayed out. This is the only time this has happened when I renamed a picture Plus I am using the gallery app that came along with the phone. Does anybody have any idea of what could be happening. There are no SIM cards or anything in the G7 so it's not a sim card problem. It only happens when I rename a picture. Thanks in advance for your help. I tried posting a picture of it but I kept on getting the error that the size of the picture was too big and it's just a plain jpeg.

Dms broken

I logged on to instagram yesterday to fund that all my direct messages were gone I tried restarting the app and reinstalling and my dms didn't come back. I also logged in on a different device to and my dms didn't show up either. I also can't see what people sent me ever since this happened please help

Help Calender sync'ing

Right, so just moved phones and have everything setup apart from my calenders. The normal samsung and Google calenders has synced no issues.

The problem I have is the "My Phone" calenders will not sync, I don't think they are included in the sync process. They are the ones that are stored on your device and happen to be the calender I use for daily events such as appointments etc. So really do need this one to transfer over.

Any ideas? I've searched but cannot refine the search well enough to reach the correct solution.

Using Samsung's calender on the S10 Plus, I've also used the Samsung Smart Switch, but this does not transfer calenders over. Hopefully I am just missing something silly here.

And while I'm at it, Brave browser.. @#$@ there is no way to transfer or backup your bookmarks to get them on a new device, am I wrong or is it not 2019?!? :mad:

Help 4G indication?

How does the Moto G7 Power display a 4G connection? I'm seeing lots of forum chatter about this model not connecting well to 4G and I'm only seeing cell bars with no 3G or 4G superimposed. Not sure how this new phone should display a successful 4G connection. Anyone know?

Galaxy S4 Keeps Shutting Off With Full Battery

Hello!

So I'm at a convention out of town and my phone kept shutting off at random- usually at below 50% battery, though still working besides that. Then it got to the point where it was doing the same thing while it was plugged into a charger, and now it turns off after having it on for less than 30 seconds.

I'm wondering if this is an issue with the battery?(my phone would hold a charge for maybe 4 hours before this happened? I've had the same phone and battery for 3-5 years.

Going to a department store will be really out of the way and difficult to do without a car so I want to make sure it's a good idea first.

Thanks!
