Problem with downloading update

Just bought a Galaxy S7. There was a notification that there was a firmware update. I go to download it, and I keep on getting the message that I need to be connected to Wifi first. And I am connected to it. I can download updates to apps. No problem. Just not this particular update. What is the problem? (I have cleaned the cache partition, rebooted phone, etc.) Thanks for your time.

moovit notification sound problem

Hello, I have some problem with moovit and the problem is that when I using live navigation in moovit I get the system default sound and not moovit sound. tried to uninstall moovit and deleted all the cache and data of the app and still not solved. also tried to play with the moovit notification settings in android and nothing worked. is there anything to do to solve it? it's very confusing that moovit live direction sound is the same as the system notifications sound.

Help NFC chip no longer giving status

I use the NFC chip to read a blood sugar sensor for my diabetes. For the past month there was always a message in the notification area saying it was ready to use. For some unknown reason, the message is no longer there, even though the chip is still working normally. Does anyone have any ideas what could have happened and how to get that back ? I checked, under notifications, the app that uses the chip and all the settings are turned on. I restarted my phone and cleared the phones cache under settings and shutting the phone off but still no status. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thanks in advance.

Phone charging vs wifi

The other day I was going to bed and plugged in my phone... A few seconds later my phone beeped to inform me my wifi had stopped... I checked the WiFi router and it showed everything was a-ok... No one I the house had wifi so I reset the wifi, phone in hand and returnedto bed... Plugged my phone back in and seconds later the wifi was out again so I went to my routers address and reset it from my phone... It restarted connected to the internet and was immediately off-line again... I unplugged my phone and went to investigate, by the time I got to the location of my wifi it was running as smoothly as ever... Walked back to my room and again plugged in my phone when my better half informed me seconds later the wifi was out again... I unplugged my phone and waited.. She let me know the wifi was up and running again... I plugged my phone in again and asked what about now and she said nope it's down again... I had to turn off my phone to charge and to have Wi-Fi at the same time... Any ideas?

Which apps will appear on head units with Android Auto Support?

Hello,
I would like to buy Double din Head Unit with Android Auto support for my 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder. The head unit should be able to display a few apps like 'Podcast Addict', 'Pandora', YouTube , my music player etc. and gps maps. I am kind of confused about when a particular app will appear on a head unit with Android Auto support. Like there are some apps like 'Podcast addict' that I would like to use regularly on my head unit. I was wondering will all apps on my phone appear on the head unit or only some with special support for Android Auto. There are also headunits without Android auto support like this one and I was wondering what are the implications of buying one of these since while it has everything I need will other apps not appear because it doesn't have android auto support?

[FREE][GAME] Meteor Hit - Retro Arcade Game

Hi all!
I am very pleased to announce the release of my new game on Google Play.
It is a minimalist retro arcade shooter, yet challenging to play with a vertical scrolling gameplay.
So the gameplay is kept as simple as possible with a focus on skills rather than multitude of upgrades and weapons to collect to improve the spaceship.
For those who miss and love space invaders, asteroids and galaxian will find something to like. It is completely free, no disruptive ads and it is gdpr compliant!
Thank you

Why my Lava Pixel V1 getting Charged only through Computer's USB but NOT with wall outlet?

My Lava Pixel V1 is only getting charged while I connect it to a Computer's USB port with the cable that came with my phone.

But, its not getting charged while I plug the charger (same cable that came with my phone) into a wall outlet.

- Why the phone is not getting charged from wall outlet?

Android Version: Android 6.0 Marshmallow

N.B: The charger is fine as I tested it with other phone also the wall outlets doesn't have any problem.

Wireless ear buds not loud

So, I've read all over the internet and I just can't seem to find the answer I'm looking for anywhere so I came here. My JBL Free Wireless earbuds when I first got them were pretty loud on my Note 8 and for some reason then went quiet after about a month of use. Granted, they are still pretty loud but not as load as they used to be. I tried them on my girlfriends phone and they are considerably louder than my phone. She's using a Galaxy j7, they are as loud on her phone as they used to be on mine before they went quiet on my phone.

Seeking an app that will allow me to record local FM broadcasts to MP3.

This may be a particularly odd request... But I am needing an app to record local live FM broadcast to MP3 files.

I often times attend different public events that are broadcast over the FM band - not streaming on the Internet. And, I would like to record these programs in MP3 format for personal use. Yes, those in attendance are permitted to do so, provided they are for personal use and are not made available for the general public).

I do have the voice recorder app on my Motorola e5 Supra, and it does a fair job of recording the programs; but I am finding the white noise of others talking, rustling around, etc, can be a bit distracting. So, for a cleaner recording, I am hunting an app that will allow me to listen to the local FM broadcast (as the NextRadio) app does, but to be able to record these broadcasts in MP3 format...

I understand that I may have to insert a set of wired earbuds, which I have no problem doing, as I would also like to be able to hear the program / speakers without the sounds of people talking around me, children crying, etc.

So if anyone does have any suggestions as to how this could be done, I am all ears/eyes. Thank you so much for your help!
