Action needed! DirecTV, AT&T U-Verse, DirecTV Now customers please read

I just found out that AT&T has failed to renew its contract with CBS and as a result, on the 20th, DirecTV, AT&T U-Verse, and DirecTV Now will cease airing CBS and CW (which it owns) in many major markets.

If you're a customer--or even if you're not, but just want to help--please read about it and use the contact methods on this page. Quickly! :)

ETA I just found out about Locast, which is available as an Android app and as a new DirecTV app. The latter method lets you watch your local channels on TV, the way I like!

Help Nokia 1 & 3310 3G read only language capability

I contacted Nokia by email and they told me that the Nokia 1 TA-1056 DS is the right Latam model for me as I want to use it in the EMEA and LATAM regions. I was wondering whether all Nokia 1's can read Arabic and Spanish sms as well as the standard reading and writing of English?

I've identified the correct Nokia 3310 3G model I am looking for with quad band 2G and 3G as TA-1036, or at least that's what Nokia told me.... I would like to know if this model can also at least read Arabic and Spanish sms as well as read and write English?

I have had no straight answer from Nokia for these additional questions. I have an old Nokia 106.1 which was bought in the UK and that can also read Arabic and Spanish but that does not mean that all Nokia's can do this...

If there is no straight answer to this is there a free third party app I can use to flash the Nokia 3310 3G or add a language that won't completely wreck it? I may try to see if it can receive Arabic and Spanish sms first before doing this...

Many thanks for any advice.

Cell is hacked. Life is Hacked. Is there a way out?

About 6 years ago my Wi-Fi network, and all the devices connected, were hacked. My identity was stolen. My social media accounts were copied. Got locked out of them. My wife as well. All of my apps are wrong. Very good copies. But wrong. A ton of my setting options either don't appear or are "greyed" or "light blued" out (can't change them). The more I dig the worse it gets. I can't take it anymore. Is there any way to lose them? I've tried it all. Yet even the note 9 I got steadily gets worse. My search options on my browser are old or useless. My app store even seems off. There is now THREE "phone" apps in my phone and FOUR "driving" apps (2 or 3 Andriod Auto and "2 car mode app". My Google maps is different every time I use it.
Is there a book (or something that can't be rerouted) that can help me? The image is just one of the many things (I haven't changed anything but I have apps and sites now telling me I have keyboard overlays, I'm using an unidentified version of Android, my IP address is incorrect).

software update zonked my phone..

I have a Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i, inherited from a family member, about 5 years ago.

it had Android 2.3.6,
Baseband GT-S5830iXXLD2
Kernel 2.6.35.7 dpi@DELL134#1
Build Gingerbread XXLD3

for 5 years to be honest I've barely used it. I started playing with it about 2 months ago.

it was generally running ok for about a month. the first time I connected it to WiFi (3 weeks ago), it kept white screening when I tried to download any apps.

I connected it to the kies software 2 weeks ago, and kies updated the phone, I *BELIEVE*, to MD2 version.
(I'll explain why I 'believe' that in a second).

The phone appeared to update, and has ran slightly worse for about 2 weeks. battery life had gone down by about a third, and it still kept white screening when I tried to use google play, or samsung apps. also on the LD2 software, the touch screen icons responded immediately. on the MD2 software, there were often small delays in opening the icon, and often small delays when anything onscreen was pressed

yesterday I woke up to find the phone was stuck looping on the swirling blue stars animation, and samsung logo. it just keeps looping round and round. only way out is removing battery. I turned it off overnight to see if anything would 'reset'. (it didn't, still keeps looping)

I've tried connecting to kies, and it says "SIM card not inserted", and doesn't see the phone

I believe the new software version was MD2, because I had a look at the info page 2 weeks ago, but didn't make a note of it. now the phone is looping on it's start screen and I can't check the version.

any info would be appreciated...

Have I fried my phone?

Hi. I inserted a metal tweezer into the USB port on my Samsung S6, to try and give the port a bit of a clear out from fluff etc, and now the phone appears to be dead, it just won't start. The battery was pretty full at the time.

OK, Yes - I know, in retrospect, that this was a pretty daft thing to do - but it's something I do regularly to the headphone socket when it won't work and always does the trick. The USB port was becoming unreliable so I thought cleaning it out may help.

So apart from confirming that I'm an idiot, does anyone know what may have happened and whether there's anything that can be done to rescue it?

Unique youtube freezing problem

I have a LG k10 from 2017. A single youtube video keeps freezing at exactly the 14 second mark (0:14). Other videos load fine but it's just this one video that keeps freezing at that timestamp. I've tried waiting for it to load for 30 minutes. I've also tried exiting out of the youtube app and reentering. I've also tried restarting my phone all together but whenever I go back to that single video it just keeps freezing at 14 seconds. I don't know if it's a youtube problem or a device problem. I know it isn't a problem with the network(internet) since other videos load just fine. The video's format isn't too special either it just has 720p60 video quality. The only thing that might have triggered this is that I watched the video for 14 seconds then paused and closed my phone. Could that have triggered the glitch?
