Help Lots of issues on the alcatel 1. I want to put a new OS on it or fix the issues completely.

Stumander
I am using an Alcatel 1. Model is 5059T, Model types is 5033T-TSAU, Android version is 8.1.0, kernal version is 4.4.95. Phone is usaing a Joy1 operating system which is probably one of the worst on the ****ing planet.

And now for the loads of issues I have with this phone which I would like assistance in fixing.

When I restart the phone it doesn't show my contacts, only the phone numbers despite my contacts being saved to the sim card.

Quite often when I put the phone to silent and then back to normal sound it won't make a sound when a call or text is coming through. ANd yes I do have the volume up as load it can possible go.

In relation to the above issue it vibrates when I miss a call. I want the vibration feature deleted from the phone completely

I have been to many phone shops and they can't fix it

I find the phone lags a lot and apps accidently close because of where the home and back buttons are.

I have tried to root the phone with Kingo Root and it won't root it. It keeps saying phone is not supported. I though every single android phone was rootable.

I would like the actual samsung OS on this phone not this Joy1 crap

I would also like to be able to put the windows phone or Linux phone on it if possible if putting a samsung os isn't possible.

Please help the phone is making me pull my hair out.

ONN 8" Android Tablet Headphone jack not working.

H
Just got my dad one of these tablets from Wal-Mart for father's day. The headphone jack would not work. Tried several headphones so thats not the issue, it still plays through the tablets speakers even with the device plugged in.
So, we returned it, and got an identical tablet, only this one is doing the same thing!
I cannot figure it out. There seems to be no settings to change, I tried restarting, and it was updated as soon as he got it out of the box. He uses it to listen to podcast in bed so the headphones are an important part for him. Any help is appreciated!

Screenshot vs Capture

markdoc
This is new for Android 9. Before 9, Capture was different than a Screenshot. The screenshot was just that, a picture of your screen. Capture had the ability to edit the picture of your screen by cropping, drawing, adding text and other things. Since the update to 9, Screenshots have the same ability. After taking a screenshot, just wait a few seconds and popup will appear in the lower right of your screenshot. Tap on the "pencil" and you get the same tools as a "Capture". It is really handy. (I used a screenshot of a screenshot to show the popup. The arrow is from the Photo Editor app.)

VPN Client Apps

R
I need a VPN client app that supports connecting to a L2TP/IPsec VPN using a Pre-shared key. I have tried many VPN client apps and have been unable to get a successful connection. I have been able to successfully connect using Win7, Win10 as well as iOS and one android LG V40 ThinQ on Verizon using LG’s built-in advanced VPN client. The basic android clients as well as many 3rd party VPN client apps don’t seem to work for this VPN. Unfortunately I do not have access to the server to make changes to the VPN’s configuration.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Recommend a Phone. Under $500, good performance, likely to last 3+ years.

1
Hello, I am currently using a Nexus5X and want to upgrade due to having a really slow UI, closing music/podcast apps due to low ram, and just bad experience due to bad performance. I really don't want anything fancy, just something that can use a browser and play podcasts.

I am considering the Galaxy S9 or Pixel3A. But could I get more bang for my buck, basically the best performance, and made by a manufacturer which is not known to just break after 1 year. Any suggestions?

App to invoice clients with GPX tracking

H
Hello,
I am looking for an app for the live bee removal guys I work with so that they can create a map showing the locations of their customers for the next day, the locations on the map must be able to be saved (GPX for example, but CSV is fine too) so that I can track the removals done per day and locations. Maybe the map could also guide the bee remover to the location?

I am indeed a researcher who works with honey bees.

Maybe there is an app that not only would invoice but also save the coordinates of where the invoice was made?

Thanks for helping!

How do I hide "this" from TextEdit?

D
How can I hide "this" from EditText?
Bild.png


I tried to use this code:

Java: 
textField.setCustomSelectionActionModeCallback(new ActionMode.Callback() {

    public boolean onCreateActionMode(ActionMode actionMode, Menu menu) {
        return false;
    }

    public boolean onPrepareActionMode(ActionMode actionMode, Menu menu) {
        return false;
    }

    public boolean onActionItemClicked(ActionMode actionMode, MenuItem item) {
        return false;
    }

    public void onDestroyActionMode(ActionMode actionMode) {
    }
});

textField.setLongClickable(false);
textField.setTextIsSelectable(false);

That code removed the "copy/paste" window when clicking on the EditText but still left me with this:

Any idea how i can get rid of them? :)

USB data transfer failure

T
Hello. I've plugged my USB into the Samsung USB A to c adapter then plugged into my phone.
I successfully copied a mp4 video from my phone to the USB drive.

But, when I plug the USB thumb drive into my PC, I can read the files that was originally in that USB but not the mp4 video that I transfered from my phone.

But if I plug the USB back to the phone, I can watch that video.

If anyone knows how to solve this, please give me a hand. Thank you.

Is there real location weather widget for android without ad

jraju
My model is galaxy j2 pro and i tried google weather inbuilt weather widget but it is showing your home location. I want real location weather widget, basing on phone location, or whereever i am having the mobile.
i did not find this in andoid app in play google store.
The apps i tried only gives their choice of location or fixed location like home
I also do not want third party apps like accu weather, which is alleged to have sold the location data to third parties.
If there is a setting in google widget at a glance widget, then i will be gld.
if the widget belongs to reputed vendor, who does not sell data would be gled to use
When i click on the at a glace widget of google, it rounds and get you the fixed location.
Google location sharing service is entirelyl different settings , i think
If i have to make it , to know the weather where my mobile is , what i want.
There may be experts using those.

Would The Samsung A20 Be A Good Buy Today?

A
I am looking for a phone in a hurry because my Aspera Jazz is fairly useless with the maps application.

Don't want to spend much money if I can avoid it. But need one for my job.

The Samsung A20 at about $270 seems to me to be about the best in its price range. Would that be right?

But I'm a bit worried about reviews saying the screen cracks easily and screen protectors are not readily available because the phone is too new or something.

So I thought I would just come and ask here and see if anyone has any advice for me before I go out and get something.

Perhaps there's some tough cheap workhorse out there that everyone's using.

My hurried surveys seem to show that I should look for about 6" screen, 13MP cam, 3G Ram and 4000 battery, agreed?

p.s. and cost-wise I'm worried about the plan aspect which I'm not too sure about. My feeling is pre paid is cheaper for me and I've always had pre-paid phones. I don't understand it all but I think I need an 'unlocked' phone for that? Yes? No? What's the chances there'll be some caveat, some hassle of that sort with a phone that I might go to buy?

Like they sell them cheaper because they catch you on 'the plan' ? Or is that really not a worry?
