I am not able to delete a Google device backup from my Galaxy S7 that appears under "Settings > Google > Restore Contacts". I can restore the backup so there is data in the backup. When I use a web browser to view my Google Contacts there is nothing there and when I view my Google Drive Backups there is nothing there.

I added the problematic Google account to a phone that has never had any of my data on it and the backup is still available to restore. Sounds like the problem might be with my Google account and not my device.

I have tried with no success...
Contacted Samsung.
Removed my Google account from the phone for a least 24 hours.
Turned device backup on then off (This is supposed to delete all backup data on Google server).
Factory Reset.
Contacted Google Drive support.

Hi!
I'm looking for an e-mail client in which I can define a phrase so the app can notify me with a special sound if it receives a mail that contains this phrase in the mail subject.
Example:
Phrase: Cookies
Mail: My grandma's cookies recipe
The app: special alert

I have a great assumption that my phone has spyware, but having difficulty locating it so I can remove it. My Gmail was hacked several months ago and I discovered my email address was attached to someone's Google Cloud. It showed my boyfriend's email address as the owner and mine listed under parental control. He denies allegations. He knows information about me from my text, email, calls, and messages that I have not shared with him. I downloaded a couple different apps to show me information about apps installed on my phone, but I don't know what to look for. I understand spy apps can be disguised, but not sure as to what. My battery drains quickly, my phone powers off an on by itself, it even makes weird notification sounds even though I turned all notifications off. Please help.

My phone was fine, then the screen went black, screen is non-responsive to pushing button to restart/shutdown. I can hear phone buzz, white circle with black center is on the upper left corner... OMG what can I do? My 95 year old uncle is in hospice and I need a phone, time is of the essence... thank you...

Can anyone tell me what the phone in the box is at the top center of my screen?

Hello,

We just had our home hardwired for ethernet. We'd like to connect our cell phones directly to the internet through ethernet. It is a possibility with Android devices running Marshmallow 6.0. (I've also read anything newer than M 6.0, but our Motorollas are version 9 and we are not able to connect.) I just watched a video tutorial on how to change the OS on your phone. I'm thinking of giving it a try. Wondering if anyone on this forum has done this successfully. Any advice? Also, any thoughts on M 6.0 vs version 9? Thanks.

Screenshot attached. What is it, what does it do and how can I get rid of it if I don't need it.

What is your biggest problem regarding Android Gaming and what difference would it make in your Gaming Experience if you find a solution to your mentioned problem?

Couple of days ago my friends Google Pixel 2 camera wouldn’t work properly. double press power button, camera would start then close. Hit the camera icon on home screen, it would start and close. Occasionally, the app will open, but will not focus. I have cleared cache on app, uninstalled updates, started in safe mode, and then finally factory reset. Nothing worked. Anyone else having issues?

Our phones have nits! Who knew!?

Since purchasing my S10+ (512GB) I have tested out a small variety of MicroSD cards that I had on hand. The MicroSD card that stood out is the Samsung Evo Pro Plus 512GB. I ran several Benchmark Tests and bottom line, the Evo Pro beat them all to include a SanDisk Ultra.


Has anyone added a 1TB card to thier Samsung S10? I would love to do so, but the cost for a good 1TB MicroSD is just to high at the moment (€499++/$550&#177. I'm curious IF anyone has tested this configuration and if so - what type of Benchmark results were rendered.

Thanks,

Mike H

so besides cases and screen protectors, are you gonna buy anything specific for your new note 10/10+?

i'm currently looking for a care mount. my thing is that i do not want a magnetic car mount as i would then need a mag strip on my case. i'm getting a clear case to show off the aurora glow color of my phone. and by adding a mag strip will just cover it up.

so i guess i'm looking for a cradle type car mount. i like the iottie, but i found that my note 8 could not get wirelessly charged because of the foot on the cradle made the phone sit too high and would not hit that sweet spot for charging. i had to saw the foot off to get it right. the suction finally failed so now i need to look for one that works for the note 10+. there is only one that i found on amazon that actually says it is compatible with the note10+ but it does not do wireless charging and it is magnetic.

with my samsung credit i might buy me some samsung buds......not sure yet. what are you gonna get for your phone?

Device is Droid Maxx 2:
My Message App is failing repeatedly, within seconds each time. I've powered off/on, done a reset, not a recovery, removed the last three apps I've uploaded, ran Norton systems check, emptied storage cache, cleared history, but the only thing that allows me the freedom to use the device now is to Force Stop on the Message App. It was downloaded from Google Play and is their app.

I had a Samsung Galaxy S10 that was stolen. I bought it a couple months ago. I think the person who stole it, wiped the information on the phone but I was told by a samsung representative that the person cannot use the phone unless the person has one of my email details that was previously signed in on the phone. I am hoping that there is someone out there who can track my phone using the IMEI code (no IMEI tracker app was installed) . Or if someone can track the location where it was last used at ( I was calling my number when I realized it was lost) so if someone was able to track where the number was last ringing at, I will be able to prove that the person stole my phone and hopefully they will return it. I am so desperate to find my phone but this person is reluctant to admitting that she stole the phone and there is so many valuable information on my phone. I had almost my whole life planned out in detail in that phone. I wish there was some way I can just the information even if I don't get back the phone but my files weren't backed up. Please please please someone please help me track it. I will compensate you for your time if necessary..I'm desperate for.some help.

Starting about a month ago, whenever I restart my phone, certain phone settings reset to the default settings. These are some of the settings I notice resetting:

- Pull-down menu buttons
- Sounds and vibration
- Notifications
- Display

There are likely more; these are just the ones that are obvious to me. App settings seem to be fine.

Any ideas what the cause could be? I've investigated if it might be something with recently installed apps but that doesn't seem to be the case.

How do you delete items from the My Sounds section in the Phone ringtone area? I found out how to add but can't see how to remove.

1st off this is on my new Alcatel 7 smart phone model 6062W. Today completely out of left field I am receiving unsolicited chat invites like in the screen capture bellow. Other then the unsolicited chat requests the phone works fine. I have no idea how to stop the unsolicited chats short of doing a factory reset.

Does anyone get a power pop up on the S9+

It puts a 'skin' on the home and or lock screen and is very annoying as at times it prevents some general use.

It does not appear to be part of device care....

Cannot seem to disable

Input please

I've been playing with JNI and NDK for a couple of weeks and had some success but also a lot of confusion.

I basically downloaded the mandelbrot explorer (open source) from this developers site:
https://dmitrybrant.com/software-for-android

I got it working in android studio and have been able to use the ndk to compile c++ code successfully.

The problem is when I upload this modified code to my phone it always overwrites the original mandelbrot set app I downloaded from the playstore.

I've tried creating a project from fresh and copying over the relevent files/folders, but every time it fails at the System.loadLibrary(...) statement.

Now I've just been trying to rename the package, I do this, then click the button that makes the changes elsewhere in the code, but then that same error comes up again.
If I rename the package to its original value and click the button to make the changes, the app works normally again.

Its frustrating, I can't keep using a modified version of someone elses project, there has to be a solution.
Please let me know if you know how I can change the package name and still have it work.

Thanks.

Hello all,

I have been having some significant issues with connecting to WiFi networks, specifically those in public spaces that require a popup menu to connect to the network (eg connecting to the hospital WiFi requires selecting "I agree" to a privacy statement before connecting). I have no trouble connecting with my laptop, but these menus never pop up on my phone, preventing me from signing in. Has anyone had this issue and found a solution?

Thank you sincerely for any help you can provide!

I was looking at my call call history and filtered to: Recents > Calls to Show > Outgoing Calls

In my recent outgoing calls, there are several calls to a contact whom I do *not* regularly call. These calls are happening unbeknownst to me. In other words, something is making the call - I physically am not.

What could be causing mysterious outgoing calls from my phone? Hacked? Software error?

This happens with only this same contact and has been going on for some time...

Looking for a tablet but must have following specs:

usb-c charging
10 inch screen min, bigger the better
Mhl so I can connect hdmi to it
Would also like if it had its own 3.5mm jack
Takes a sim card

can anyone recommend any to me?

thanks

Had anyone tried this? https://flolab.io/products/samsung-galaxy-s10-tempered-glass-screen-protector

I can't find ANY reviews with the S10, and I want to know how their fingerprint scanner claim holds up.

I'm actually looking for my Note 10+, which they have yet to produce a screen for, so am going Whitestone Dome for now. Buy an interested in this as well.
