Samsung A5 fell in water

J
After my Samsung A5 Duos fell in the water for 2-3 secs, I dried it with paper towels and put it in a bag with a silica gel pack and rice overnight. Then I charged my phone, it was back to normal for around 10 secs and switched to Safe Mode. There was also a warning screen about downloading a custom OS that appeared a few times. My phone was also powering off and restarting on its own. What should I do?

Help Can't write/delete content to sd card

N
I recently bought a memory card, put it in my phone..entered storage settings, and set the sd card to be the default storage.

I transfered some comics, music etc, no problem.
Then, after a day or two, I couldn't download anything from google chrome on the card, infinite 'download pending'.
I can't delete pictures from it, although I can view them.
I can't download whatsapp statuses (because it uses sd storage as cache for those images)

I restart the phone..it works, but the same issue happens in a few days.

Crazy download/upload speeds

M
Was at my nephew's house in Dayton Ohio today and done a speedtest in his house and was blown away by the speeds: 234 Mbps down and 38.6 Mbps up on Verizon taken on a Pixel 3a. Ran it twice to make sure I wasn't imagining things. Anyone else ever seen these kind of speeds?

Help never activated, ZTE z990g Merit Tracphone

P
6/29/2019

My new, never activated, ZTE z990g Merit Tracphone has a 2.3.5 Android operating system, 125 MB internal storage, and a 1.85 GB SD card.

Can my farmer friend use it to watch downloaded Youtube videos that I transfer to it from my HP Windows 10 computer? He has no computer and no access to the Internet. His cellphone is not a smartphone.

I am a novice and this is my first post. If I need to do anything sophisticated, e.g.,unlock my ZTE z990g Smart Phone, please provide me with a link to a helpful website or video.

FB Messenger Error: (#100) The parameter family_device_id is required.

Sara222
So Mom who has shunned FB for years finally wants Messenger. Downloaded and began setup, put in her phone number as required and name and it began to give a code after I agreed to Terms of Service stopped, and threw up what I assume is an error as I can go no further. (#100) The parameter family_device_id is required. She's never had Facebook, though that shouldn't be a problem. Not sure what to do? Any suggestions?

Kyocera Duraforce Pro Ram

R
Hey guys. I cannot find any definite answer online regarding how much ram does the specific model have. I'm looking to purchase a 3gb ram model.

E6810 - Verizon - Ram unknown (One ebay seller said 2gb, and I found conflicting data online)
E6820 - AT&T - 2gb ram (Purchased, but will return as it's sluggish. There's also conflicting data online regarding this model)
E6830 - Sprint (Amount of ram unknown)
E6833 - Sprint (Not sure if typo and should actually be E6830)

Carrier doesn't really matter as I'll be only using it as a gps. Does anybody have any insight?

Help My phone isn't locked out, but I want to disable my fingerprint lock but I forgot the password.

eric45346
I hadn't been using any lock screen security before, I had to create a fingerprint lock for work temporarily and never bothered to remember the backup password. Now that I don't need the fingerprint lock anymore, even though the phone recognizes me as the proper owner and lets me in, I need that backup password to disable the fingerprint lock entirely. Any ideas? Thanks

WebView how to show app title

Greum
I have a simple web view app which appears to work, but I would like to show the app title bar and I can't figure out how to do do so.

This is my Java

Java: 
public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    private WebView webView;

    Activity activity;
    private ProgressDialog progDailog;

    //@SuppressLint("NewApi")
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        activity = this;

        progDailog = ProgressDialog.show(activity, "Loading", "Please wait...", true);
        progDailog.setCancelable(false);

        webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.simpleWebView);

        webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
        webView.getSettings().setLoadWithOverviewMode(true);
        webView.getSettings().setUseWideViewPort(true);
        webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {

            @Override
            public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
                progDailog.show();
                view.loadUrl(url);
                return true;
            }

            @Override
            public void onPageFinished(WebView view, final String url) {
                progDailog.dismiss();
            }
        });

        webView.loadUrl("https://theglastonburytarot.co.uk/");

    }
}

and this is my layout:

Code: 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <WebView
        android:id="@+id/simpleWebView"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent" />

</LinearLayout>

This isn't normal disk usage right?

Daniel Fernandes
So I've observed that my laptop's disk usage shows up to be pretty high. But this doesn't make sense - I've seen programs use the disk at more than 100 MB/s, but sometimes it shows a much higher % value (48% in the screenshot below) even when programs are running at only about 1 MB/s in total!

I normally wouldn't be concerned about this, but the problem is that the disk usage occasionally jumps to 100% or 99% with only 0.2 MB/s of total usage, making the system unnecessarily slow for a while.

Is this normal? Are there other factors than read/write speed that account for disk usage? Has this happened to anyone else? Are there any fixes I can try? Thanks!
