Help How to clear the notification on the top taskbar

Hello All,

I recently purchased a Google Pixel 3A and I am new to the Android OS. I am having a slight annoying problem with the notification status. On the screensaver and top taskbar displays a notification of an app so tapping on notification opens the app. After responding to the message, the status of the notification is still there even though I already dealt with the notification. I have to clear the notification by swiping left or clicking on clear all. Is there a way to clear the notification without manually trying to clear it?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Help Bluetooth problem in the car

I have no bluetooth audio function in my car although I can make and receive phone calls via BT. I like to listen to podcasts in my car and use Podcast Addict to do this just using the phone with the volume high. When I turn on my phone in the car and turn on Podcast Addict the media volume on my phone gets switched off and I have to turn BT off and on to get the sound back on. This is quite irritating but the even stranger thing is that sometimes I get in the car and the sound stays on fine and I just get to play the podcast straightaway. This will go on for a week or so and then it will go back to cutting off the sound for a couple of weeks and so on.
I'm sorry if I've not explained this very well - I'm not sure I understand what's happening myself!

Crash Reports

My app is now on the Play store and I installed it from there. It crashed (thought I had fixed all of those) and gave me the option to submit a crash report with logs, which I did - but I can't find any info about the report I submitted. Last 14 days, All versions, Installed from anywhere - there is nothing there.

Am I looking in the wrong place or is my expectation wrong?

How to monitor changes in mobile network connections?

Hello to all,

I've been, for several days in different sites, looking for a way to monitor when a network change occurs without success so far. This is show with a Toast message when the phone changes from 2G to 3G, 3G to LTE and vice versa.

I found that is needed to use TelephonyManager, Connectivity Manager and Broadcast Receiver.

So far I have the below code that shows the changes when phone is in WiFi, without connection or mobile data, but once is in status "Mobile data" is not reporting the changes between 2G, 3G, LTE anymore.

Is there a way to detect in the moment that occurs the mobile network type changes?

This is a Utility class code that I have so far working for android 6.

Code:
class NetworkUtil{

public static String getConnectivityStatusString(Context context) {
   String status = null;
   String mobile_status = null;

   ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager) context
           .getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);

   NetworkInfo activeNetwork = cm.getActiveNetworkInfo();


   TelephonyManager mTelephonyManager = (TelephonyManager)
           context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
   int networkType = mTelephonyManager.getNetworkType();
   switch (networkType) {
       case TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_GPRS:
       case TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_EDGE:
           mobile_status = "2G"; break;
       case TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_UMTS:
       case TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_HSPA:
           mobile_status = "3G"; break;
       default:
           mobile_status = "Unknown"; break;
   }


   if (activeNetwork != null) {
       if (activeNetwork.getType() == ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI) {
           status = "Wifi enabled";
           return status;
       } else if (activeNetwork.getType() == ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE && mobile_status == "2G") {
           status = "2G enabled";
           return status;
       } else if (activeNetwork.getType() == ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE && mobile_status == "3G") {
           status = "3G enabled";
           return status;
       } else if (activeNetwork.getType() == ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE && mobile_status == "Unknown") {
           status = "Mobile unknown enabled";
           return status;
       }
   } else {
       status = "No internet is available";
       return status;
   }

   return status;
}
}

Thanks for any help.

Help Phone charging issue

My USB cable is quite loose whenever I plug it in. I need to fiddle quite a lot for the phone to even recognize that it's charging, and even then, the percentage doesn't go up (I managed to charge it once but have been unlucky since). I feel like I should mention that the charging issues were preceding by dropping the phone in the sink with running water screen up a couple of times, but I managed to grab the phone in ~2 seconds, safely shut it down and leave it open to dry for a full day in both cases. It has been at least two months since the aforementioned incident so I assume the phone is and safe from short circuit and potential corrosion? (Because if any water was left to cause the corrosion I doubt I would have a working phone now). One thing that has changed since water damage apart from charging issues is that the battery seems to go down at a quicker rate. I did all the basic troubleshooting (different cable, wall adapter, plug to PC, etc.) with no effect. Cleaning out the port also didn't help as the cable is still loose. Could this be caused by water? Is there no way than to replace the port? Any and all help appreciated

(Attaching USB port pictures, quality is the best I could.)

Capturing contact information

Hello:
I'm helping the local museum with their Contacts DB. Right now everyone that visits the museum signs a paper 'log' with their contact info. Quite often it is illegible. Anyone know of a solution that we could use to capture and store a visitor's info? I was thinking of using a tablet with a basic contact info front end but since many of the visitors are seniors something even simpler would be best. Maybe an app using voice recognition or a QCR that the user could scan that would extract info from their phone (yes, they may be seniors but they all have phones !). Any help or ideas is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Connection issues

My new Samsung Galaxy A20 phone is having data connection issues. Many times a day it basically gets stuck on uploading data, where the up arrow is showing with no down arrow. This prevents me from getting notifications and loading apps/web pages. It will stay like this until I turn mobile data off then on again or connect to wifi or reset the device. My carrier is Metro.(never had connection issues with them before) I spoke to them about the problem and they're not being much help.

Does anybody know what could be causing this, and how to fix it?
Would appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks!
