transferring data from iphone to samsung galaxy A50

I just bought my first android phone in over 10 years today. My last three phones have been all iphones. I've been watching various videos on the internet which show the process of transferring data from iPhone to android using smart switch along with a dongle and cable.

I want to keep my contacts, pictures and text messages so this process would be ideal. Unfortunately there is no dongle in the box and would like some advice or guidance as to what is the easiest and hassle free way to port the important information from my iPhone to my new A50?

Help Date format

I noticed for the first time today that the date format in my wife's Locus Map Pro app is displayed as 4/7/2019, while mine is 07/04/2019. I am informed by the developer that there is no facility within the app to set a date format; it relies upon Android.
My wife's mobile 'phone is the same as mine - a 2nd generation Motorola Moto G running version 5.0 Lollipop.
Settings>Date & time are identical. I do not see a date format option, either.
I wonder if such a facility resides elsewhere? If not, how might two identical 'phones differ?

[APP][FREE] Bluetooth audio device widget (A2DP)

Hello,
I would like to introduce you my Bluetooth widget. With this widget you can by one click connect your Bluetooth audio device and play Spotify without going into the settings menu. The app supports A2DP profile, device like portable speakers, sound bars etc.. It is initial release, so I would be grateful for any feedbacks. The app should be available now, or in some markets in few hours.

I hope, that this widget will be useful and different than hundreds bluetooth widgets in google play :-)

How to Start:
1. Pair your audio device (A2DP) in android settings
2. Open app and enable widget for your selected device
3. Add widget on your screen

Regards
Tom

Arcadium [FREE][GAME]

Hi all,

Arcadium is a retro style space shooter game I've been working for an year, and today the game has been released on Play Store as Open Beta!

The game follows the good ol' "get the best score" gameplay, where you will have to defeat hordes of aliens (and bosses) which are generated on the go, making it a unique experience everytime you play! The game also offers a mastery system that lets you permanently improve the spaceship stats or lets you unlock new spaceships!

The game is completely free and there aren't any disruptive ads, so if you have been looking for a nice, fun, simple to play and polished mobile game, I really hope you try this one out <3

Thank you.

Automatically change to strongest wi-fi

I know this question has been asked in the past, but the answers seems to be outddated.
I have a OnePlus 7 pro running Android 9. In my home I have two wi-fi spots, one on the first floor, and the second on the second floor. Both have the same SSID and the same password. Now when I´m on the first floor I have strong signal on wi-fi spot 1. When I move to the second floor and stands next to wi-fi spot 2, the phone still holds the connection, which are now very poor, to the first spot. If I turn wi-fi off and then on, it chooses the second and strongest wi-fi spot.
I know that I can install apps which takes care of this. But I am not interested in this, since I dont want another app with a process bar icon running all the time, and neither do I want to ask my guests to install apps when they connect to my wi-fi.
In my w-fi settings on the phone I´ve enabled Intelligent wi-fi selector, but it doesent seem to have any effect. I've also tried with a Oneplus 3, but same problem.
I´ve tried the same test with an older Iphone, and it automatically changed to the strongest wi-fi.

So how come this isn´t a standard behaviour on android?

Thanks :)

Help Azpenpc tablet

I have an azpenpc tablet Model A1045DRI which has Android 4.2.2 installed on it. I would like to update it to the latest possible version and install some Android games on it for a young child. I have gone to the About part of settings, and there is no choice to upgrade or update.

I can connect to WiFi with it, but that is about all I can do.

Maybe among other things I might need to access a command line to do some things with it, but I don't know how to do that. If does have a USB mini or micro receptacle on the side of it, as well as a receptacle marked "Micro SD" which I could use to perhaps use to install some app?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Autocorrect is not working

Hello. May I know how to get autocorrect working in gboard? I've already enable all items inside the autocorrect settings page. But when I type words wrong, gboard will just underline my wrong word with a blue line rather than change the word for me. But why?! Gboard can already identify my wrong words, why don't directly change it for me then? :((

Thank you.

An app that can record a series of steps that I input and then play those steps via voice cmd

I've tried ITTT, it didn't even have the app I wanted listed.


I just need it to be able to click 1 button inside of an app (or follow a few clicks) Specifically. The play/pause button in 'smart audiobook player' and the 'read outloud' button in 'cool reader' (which is actually 3 clicks)

If there's anyway to do this. I don't mind a paid app.

It MUST be able to be done via voice command.

Welcome news re: robocalls

Kind of thin on details at this point, but it’s a huge step in the right direction.


"If there is one thing in our country today that unites Republicans and Democrats, liberals and conservatives, socialists and libertarians, vegetarians and carnivores, Ohio State and Michigan fans, it is that they are sick and tired of being bombarded by unwanted robocalls," said FCC Chairman Ajit Pai during the commission's monthly meeting prior to the 5-0 vote to approve the rule. "My message to the American people today is simple: We hear you, and we are on your side."

Is there a way to disable this annoying notification please?

Please Help! (SMS receiver related)

Hello everyone,

Let me give you a brief explanation of my situation.

I'm a mediocre programer. I only had taken two formal classes in computer programing (in the JAVA language) in my life. And am very new to android (phone) app development. About 4 months ago I decided to develop an app for encrypting sms messages. Now the app is nearly 90% complete, I still have one nagging problem I'm trying to solve:

How can I make the app receive SMS messages in the background when the app is no longer in the foreground?

e.g. Suppose someone has google Crome open in the foreground and is receiving a sms message. I simply want my app to say (perhaps implemented with the "Toast.maketext(...).show()" method), "You have received and encrypted messages from +15555215554".

My app already is able to do this when running in the foreground. But I want to do it in the background. I just don't know what this is called. So I'm uncertain what to google search. So far I've googled "android studio sms receiver" and "android studio sms service" and "android studio receive SMS background", but neither results have helped me. Here are my manifest and broadcast recover classes if that helps:

Here's my manifest code:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Help alarm notification always present

I have two alarms set in the desktop digital clock widget, one daily at 05:20 and one weekly Sunday at 15:50. For some reason there is always an alarm icon in the notification tray, adding undesired clutter.

Sd card by force

HOW do I FORCE ALL photos, screenshots, videos, anything that way, to sd? I just got this 256 gb card which has plenty of room (I checked just in case) and it keeps showing a limited amount of pictures I could take. Why is it doing this? I just moved some videos to sd, and it claims that recent photos and screenshots are already there.

Since Pie Upgrade, VPN apps don't work

Hi,
Since the pie upgrade, my VPN clients stopped working on my Galaxy S9 (NordVPN, ExpressVPN, TurpoVPN). I uninstalled them all and re-installed only one at a time. During the configuration process, I'm shown a dialog box that says:
"Connection request
TurboVPN wants to set up a VPN connection that allows it to monitor network traffic. Only accept if you trust the source"
When I tap on "OK", nothing happens. It doesn't matter what VPN client I use, I get stuck at the same point.

I've changed the system settings to turn off all apps ability to "Appear on top" but no setting that I change works. Have reset the cache, nothing.

Welcome any suggestions

Bypassing FRP on a Vivo One

Hey everyone, hoping someone can lead me down a path that doesn't involve sketchy ad laced sites.

Have a guy who brought in a Blu Vivo One Plus, usual story had done a factory reset, doesn't know the account it was originally activated on, can't get past the Google verification screen, no option to skip. And of course no USB debugging pre-enabled.

So from what I've found online so far I've found a few guides on using the Smart Phone Flash Tool, but the guides seem to have some major plot holes in them and i can't follow the story the whole way through. I find this seems to be the typical case when trying to revive an Android device.

Hoping you guys know of what tools I'll need and where I can get them from without an arse-load of malware.
