Help Is There A Way To Remove The Internal Battery For The Alcatel A30 Fierce?

So I'm wanting to remove the battery inside my Alcatel device (Alcatel A30 Fierce), but for some reason the battery seems to be built in with the phone, and I cant figure it out. Is this even possible? Or is the battery just built that way therefore making it impossible to remove? And if so how would I get my phone battery replaced then in the future if I ever needed it when its impossible to even remove it let alone replace???

Pixel 2 XL Issues

Device is 1.5 years old. Battery life has dropped 50% in last few weeks. Usage profile is normal. Reading news and blogs for about 20 min in morning uses 15% battery is 5 % before. Checked apps usage etc. No clues.

Second issue. PlaystaPlay Vue has been running great for last 4 weeks. Now app will not run. Cleared cache and data - no change. Uninstalled/reinstalled - no change. Any ideas? No I am not doing factory reset - too much PITA.

Galaxy S8 Home Button Opening Lock Screen Issue

Is there a way I can set my phone to only pull up the lock screen on pressing the side button? I can feel my phone vibrating as it is pressing the touch screen in my pocket. A little while ago, i actually managed to call 911 with the phone in my pocket. It just pulls up the unlock screen, opens the "dial emergency number" option, and one-presses to call 911. I had to explain to the dispatcher that my phone called them on accident. This seems like a serious design flaw. How do I fix this?

Can't send texts

Hi All,

I am having intermittent but very frequent and persistent problems sending text messages, both regular texts as well as picture messages. They appear to be sent and then a couple of minutes later, there's a notification saying that the message encountered a problem and couldn't be sent.

My wife has a newer I Phone and our son has an old Note 4. Neither one of them experience any trouble. I have used the pro level Textra for a texting app for a few months without any disruptions until now, but I have the same trouble if I disable it and use the factory messages app. I have restarted the phone countless times, even leaving it off for a few hours. No luck. I have switched off WiFi and tried the T Mobile network, but again, no luck. My wife and son have no issues on either the network or the WiFi, so it has to be the phone itself. It was a brand new model, not a refurbished one purchased several months ago. I'm guessing it was the latest update???? I use my phone constantly for work, texting with clients and so as you can imagine, this is become more than just an annoyance. Any ideas??????

Thanks in advance for your time and help!

I need to talk to an android developer!

Hello everyone, I just registered on this site, hoping to find someone to have a call with and talk about the fastest way to start learning how to develop Android apps from scratch. Anyone willing to give me his/her time? I'm serious about this and i really want to start on the right track and not waste any time beating around the bushes. If anyone is willing to help with a call, I would appreciate it. :)

Layout File Storage

I started a new app for a classroom tutorial video from Udemy.com on Android Studio. Now when I bring the app back and I have put a button, three editText boxes and three TextView boxes onto the layout, I can't bring the layout back and I can't find the layout file anywhere on my computer (at least so far). My question is: Does the layout file automatically save itself with Android Studio? With B4A android language's IDE, the layout file must be named and saved. I saw no prompt that I had to save or name the layout for my app ("Registration Form". Here's the app's Activity_main.xml code.
Code:

Strange system app(spyware?)

I've got LineageOS 14.1 installed on my phone. And I found strange system app: com.qualcomshutdownlistner. On the internet I found only com.qualcomshutdownlistEner. There is a letter missing in my version. Looks suspicious.
Also I noticed that Android System uses traffic every time I open any app, even if this app doesn't need internet connection. Not much(~500b).
I'd got LineageOS 15 installed(rooted). Then I suspected that spyware was installed on my system(I've got some reasons, that not related to my phone). So I replaced LineageOS 15 with LineageOS 14.1. I am 95% sure that i have paranoia, but I wanna be 100% sure. So I would be grateful if someone will explain the things I mentioned above.

How to really backup my android accounts

Hi guys!
I am constantly changing my ROMs and I need a fast way to backup my applications and not re-add everything. For this "Titanium Backup" works for 1-2 apps, but the most important problem that I can not find is how to restore my accounts? Its a very big problem to re-add them every time. I want to be able to do it fast with no effort, can someone point me to a good solution as I can not find any that works. Is
a nandroid backup from a different ROM usable and what is the procedure for restoring my accounts only?

The Rise and Fall of the headphone jack

hey guys,
so i found this very interesting youtube video about the history of the headphone jack.

check it out:

all of my headphones that i have save for a few wired ones (mostly ones that came with the various phones i have owned in the past) are wireless with bluetooth.

i get the uproar to some extent. they are just trying to make you buy things you do not necessarily need......but it works. people are buying wireless buds and airpods. it worked on me. i just bought the samsung buds and they are on the as we speak.

thoughts?

"Add RAMs"

That's what my friend said should be done to fix his slow wifi. It doesn't affect his phone because he has regular service for that, but now that he's got roku tv, it could be a problem. I often use wifi for my phone there. Does increasing bandwidth really help? There's only one company providing wifi in the back of beyond, and he had to go all the way over to the highway to get it done. By the way, internet service was practically nonexistent the other day, but it was cured by nightfall.

Deranged drawer

I was cleaning the kitchen utensil drawer and of course managed to get it off track. It should be straight down the middle but instead keeps sticking to the left and right. It also tilts down toward the back instead of being level. I obviously have no clue how to fix it or I wouldn't be bothering you with this nonsense.
