Stuck at boot-loop Cat s62 pro

I have a Cat S62 Pro.
After the battery ran out of juice following happens:

As soon I start to charge the phone its start too boot. However at that point the phone isnt charged enough to complete a boot so it runs out of energy, shuts down and then try boot again shortly after.

I´ve tried to unplug it and to start it myself in order to completly run the device out of energy.
However same problem, same loop starts as soon as I charge.

Leaving it connected with a charger doesnt help. It has been charged the whole night, just keep depleting the litte energy it has by trying to boot to early.

Meety : dating app

Hello,

I would like to introduce you to my android application. His name is meety.

You can download it here: Meety Chat, Dating, Friends - Apps on Google Play

I stopped this application for 1 year because I no longer had time to maintain it.

I decided to put it back online. There is also the web version at Ionic App
I had quite a few users but the SEO has since lost value.
Could you give it a try and let me know what you think?

Thank you

How hard is it to take pics with a wallet case for Samsung S23 Ultra?

How hard is it to take pics with a wallet case for Samsung S23 Ultra or other cell phones for that matter?

It seems like for landscapes etc when open the front cover would get in the way. What experiences do the wallet owners have when shooting pics with a wallet style case. I recall years ago when I last had a wallet case it got in the way a lot... by that I mean when shooting how you hold it properly etc.

Occupation of vulcan in mexico

I read an article today about a deep sea port . It involved Vulcan materials , a birmingham alabama company . It said the Mexican military had occupied the companies property . They claimed Vulcan did not have necessary permits . What is going on with that ? It also said the Mexican military was still occupying the property . That was on the 14 th of March.

Sudden problem with newly shot movies on S8.

All of a sudden every time I shoot a movie on my Samsung S8 it shows at the bottom of the list in the gallery, instead of the top as it used to and when I open OpenMTP on my Mac (the app I use to transfer movies from my S8 to my Mac), the latest movies don’t show up. Why has this suddenly changed? My other S8 is fine - newly shot movies show at the top in the gallery app and show up in OpenMTP so I can drag them across to my Mac computer..

Big WI-FI speed differences Between Two Phones

I have a very significant difference in the wi-fi speed on my main phone (LG K20) and my travel/BKP phone (Samsung Galaxy J2) with Avast speed test. Testing the speed in the same location with same router, LG speeds are 55 down / 28 up; Galaxy speeds are 0.04 down / 7.6 up. Both running the same release of Avast. Ran Ookla speed test from Ookla website and get Galaxy speed 33 download but can't get upload speed to be displayed. Anyone know how to get that displayed? Should I download the Ookla app from Google play and use that? On my computer Ookla does display both speeds.

Galaxy S7 widget 'update' to S22 - minor hiccup - driving me nuts - dual clock appearance

On my S7, I've got a side-by-side dual clock, in descending order location, time (largest font), date - side by side.
On my S22 Ultra, Samsung has 'updated' what was an elegant layout by removing the side-by-side layout to each clock occupying its own line.
Microsoft is famed for screwing up this sort of thing because they latest cohort of geeks have to re-invent the wheel. For people who actually have to use things on a day-to-day basis, it is infuriating.
Is there any way I can swap over the S7 layout onto the S22? I don't have the know-how or desire to do a custom creation. i just want to preserve a superior S7 presentation on my s22.

Exporting Text Messages from Note 8 to PC ?

I have never exported my text messages from my Note 8. It has 8 gigs of messages. I want to save them on my Windows 10 PC and be able to save them like they were on my Note 8. What software can I Buy?
I thought of buying Droid Central for $30 ! I want to maker it simple and save my complete messages/pictures/links on the PC and be able to delete the messages on the phone to free up memory space on the 64 Gig Note. I kind of like using my text messages as a Journal with particular people.

Why does Google Doc app keep crashing?

Hello, I have a Google Doc that is 120 pages and growing (a memoir) and it started crashing on my Pixel 6 a dozen or so pages back.

If I start typing and it wants to crash I can choose the option to Wait and may be able to get a few more sentences written before it wants to crash again. The other option, Send Feedback, doesn't do anything.

I've tried emptying the cache, clearing the the data, uninstalling and reinstalling the app, but nothing fixed it.

Other large docs I open on my Pixel 6 don't crash, and this doc does not crash on my Galaxy Tab or my PC.

I can't figure it out, and I can't continue working on this doc. I could start a new doc but thought I'd ask first.

Google Doc version 1.23.082.05.90
Android 13 Build TQ1A.230205.002

Can you offer any suggestions?

Thanks, kwhopson

Help How to disable the Messages Encryption?

I think this is keeping my messages from being sent right away. Instead, they sit for a while, in the meantime, I am thinking that they were sent a long time ago. Then like an hour later I see a notification saying that the message was not sent. However, if I click on it, it'll show me an option to switch to SMS to send it.
I just wish I could stay in regular SMS as a default to avoid this very annoying situation.

Thanks in advance guys :)

Samsung A53 not so impressive compared to the A52

Less than a week ago, I "upgraded" from an A52 to A53. There are many articles and videos indicating the A53 is slightly better than the A52. So far, it seems the same or even worse. I have two phones:

A52 5G on Android 12

A53 5G on Android 13

One of the annoyances with the A53 is that when text messaging a video of under 30 seconds, the phone always tells me the file is too large to send and if I want to trim the video. Then I have to press one or two buttons, then press done, and then it transmits a physically smaller-sized video with poorer quality than the A52. The A52 on Android 12 simply goes ahead and reduces the video and then I can press send.

Is this difference because of the Android version or the phone or the messaging software?

I am looking for note pad app that could be synchronized with other users

Hello, please, forgive my ignorance, maybe this already exist, but i need help to find it.

i am in a small project with a friend, we both came up with nice ideas, and things pending to do in our projet.

today we agree that for April 20 we must close the investigation process and to buy a machine we need, we both agree then he asked me, who will write that down (so can be remembered) then that wa when it came the necessity...

i am looking for an app, something similar to Colornote (which i personally use) but with a function that when i write something in the note, it appears in my friend´s note too (assuming both having installed the same app) in he writes something new r modify what what i wrote, the apps notify me, with a sound, with a pop up message, with a dot, with whatever,r but notify mi then i enter to the app and see what it is...
if he found a nee supplier contact information, so he wrote it there and both have the ssme information.. and so on


it would be like Colornote, like i mentioned, both a function that is connected viia account or whatever so both have the same things
if it has a calendar function or any way to set reminders, would be great.
in our office we have a whiteboard here we write pending stuff regarding to our project, so we always see what is pending to do, it would be like a virtual substitute for that.


it is something similar when you open a word document in office 365 from the web in two computer, both can write at the same time.

"Smart Lock" Trusted Location is unreliable

I noticed that there have been other posts on this subject but nothing recent. So I thought I'd restart with some twists.

There is much written on this problem with suggested fixes, I won't repeat them here. An example of one of the more through solution processes is here
The conclusion I draw after following several is that the feature is flakey. Nothing will fix it (except possibly google taking it seriously). My guess it is the design depends on perfect atmospherics for the GPS, food Wireless coverage, etc. The fix would likely involve loosening things up a bit (wider radius, more retries, etc)

I saw one great suggestion that perhaps the location could be based on your WiFi connection being stable. That makes a lot of sense as an additional methodology. Whether you are at home or work, people that don't leave in castles or large offices make a WiFi connection and keep it.

So how do we get Google to consider an enhancement?, either to loosen Trusted Location or add WiFi location to Smart Lock.

file association with specific app

I have a samsung s21 phone with android 13 installed. I receive a file by gmail and it is named xxxx.sdtid. the content of the file is an xml structure. when I want to open the file, I am prompted for chrome or htmlviewer. but I want to open this file with authenticator securid. I also downloaded the file and in file explorer select open with have also only these choices. can I associate this file with securid or can I temporarily set-off the association with chrome/htmlviewer to open the files ones with securid. this need only to be done once, to import the credentials from this file into the securid app.
thanks for all info
best regards, Guy
