J3, Android version 7.0

Two questions:

• 1. Why must one do three tasks to power down the phone?

a) side button press
b) screen confirm off
c) drawn dot pattern

Why the complexity and precaution for a simple power off? The S5 powers down immediately when pressing power off. (Android V 6.0.1)


• 2. How to make the screen dot pattern always appear on startup? Now one must swipe the screen to have the pattern appear, then draw the pattern?

How to stop them? Avast scan normal. Turned off notifications. Adjusted settings in Chrome. What else to do ?

Can't send pictures to any device via text messages, not even to myself. I always get the same error "Invalid Destination Address". I'm not sure if the latest update is responsible but it seem to have started when I let the phone do a system update. Here's a list of what I've done so far with no help.

1. Emptied the cache for messages+ and forced stop and restarted the phone.
2. Tried 2 other messaging apps.
3. Sent to iphones.
4. Sent to other android devices.
5. Sent to myself.
6. Made sure recipient numbers were correct. (even my own)

By the way, no other device can send pics to me via text. Can anyone help?

Hello,

I'm developing an application that use a USB device. Each time the device is reconnected, i must ask the user permission to connect to it.
The problem is that the smartphone and the device should work without an user intervention. Sometimes, the USB connector move a little bit and all my application is blocked because the permission are not granted anymore...

I found some tips for older versions of Android (...) but nothing for API 27...

Someone have a solution or a workaround to use a USB device without the user permission ?

Thx

I have a new battery and a new charger (three in fact). The battery is continuing to discharge like the old one and is now completely dead so doing this on a tablet.

Is there a solution with the phone already dead and refusing to charge please?

Which one should I buy? I'm looking for something long-term.

I bought an Archos 70b Helium tablet for gaming use. Its only an 8GB tablet but i bought a 64GB Sandisk Micro SD card.

When i put the card in the tablet and booted up it promoted me with "Expand Internal Storage Activate Archos Fusion Storage". So i clicked yes and under the Settings, Storage it shows just internal storage free space 59.51GB. (Think the tablet activated the SD card as internal storage?)

Now the problem begins. When i go to Google Play Store and try and download an app. Say Armed Heists, it opens a popup screen that says i must delete some apps to free up some storage! If i go to Google Play Store and click My Apps & Games, then Installed it shows that i have just 722mb of free storage space and my storage is 84% used? Despite me having over 59GB of storage available on my SD card that has been activated as Archos Fusion Storage for use as internal storage space?

Please help... I've tried everything... Under settings i don't even have an option to move apps to SD card or anything like that. So can not even free up some internal storage space.

I am trying to guess what a cellular network provider (or just network provider) would know while using and not using internet.

I am using the term static content for details that don't change often and dynamic content for details that change often. The content in red is which I am not sure whether it is known by the network provider.

1. While I am not using the internet:
The network provider would know Non-internet based static content such as:
personal information including address, occupation, proof of identity, etc (if given/required during purchase)
sensitive personal information including as bank account details, etc,
device details such as IMEI number?, operating system?, type of device (smartphone, tablet etc.)?, MAC address of the device? etc.

[Note: I am not sure whether content such as IMEI number, operating system, type of device (smartphone, tablet etc.), MAC address of the device would come under non-internet based content or internet-based content]

The network provider would know Non-internet based dynamic content such as network-based location (which cell towers I use), call detail records (who you called and when), text message details (who you texted and when), text message content, payment history, etc.

2. While I am using the internet:
The network provider would know Internet-based dynamic content such as IP address, bandwidth consumption, location via GPS (if GPS is turned on), browsing content and history (including the date, time and duration of the internet session)?, the apps running on the device?, data sent and received by the apps?.

3. While I am using the internet via a VPN:
The network provider would know Internet-based dynamic content such as the VPN's IP address, bandwidth consumption, location via GPS?.

(Feel free to comment for any modifications if required for the above details)

The device suddenly doesn't show incoming calls on the screen.
Why does it happens? Is it fixable?

Hi,
I would like to automate Follow me by script using SIM+IMEI , instead of running daily from Android real phone.
Can use any script from command remotely.
Thanks.

I have a new Android 8 tablet and video applications like VLC, MX Player, and Gallery are acting strangely. When I play a video and set it to loop, it never loops and I immediately return to the file system browser after the video plays once. In the applications that are configured to forward to the next audio MP3 or video MP4 in a folder, the applications refuse to see any next audio or video. Hitting the "next" or "previous" buttons exits the video application and takes you back to the file system browser.

Is this some kind of security issue in a later version of Android? How do you configure something like MX Player to play all audio or video files in a folder?

Hey there,

Does anyone have a way to fix my problem?

My friend's LG phone is not hooking up right with the G Boom bluetooth speaker. They can be connected but the sound is almost nonexistent. It actually sounds louder through the phone than with the speaker. When I hook up my S5 it works great except it can be a little tricky connecting it. It started not working with the LG X Charge about a month ago when the G Boom went unplugged for maybe a day or 2. We were wondering if maybe some malware got downloaded and had something to do with it. In the apps list the only thing I could find that might be was this wifi booster. I did a screenshot of his phone and will include it if I can.

my lg stylo some how has got into high resolution. And I can only see the numbers 2,5,8,0. So I am not able to unlock my screen. What can I do with out factory reset? I need to get into my phone. Please someone help.

NFL. Mobile keeps stopping. How do I fix this? Already updated app. Thanks.

Okay so my provider is Qlink Wireless i got a phone from them, however, they had an option to allow me to use my Nexus 6 as my primary phone so i switched.

So here is the question

Do i have to use my old sim card from my old minute phone to my nexus 6 or do i have to wait till a new sim comes in via mail?

US Cellular just sent out a software update yesterday and it has disabled the lock screen clock and restored the Bixby button. Just wondering if any USC customers are having the same problem and if so, how did they fix it?

I just got a message that until the phone cools down I can't record video?! What's up with that? I have to admit that it is running a fever. How do I take care of that?

When shopping for tablets, it seems the specifications rarely if ever state whether they support Qi charging or not. This is a primary requirement as I'm getting it for someone suffering from a movement disorder who therefore cannot plug in the micro-USB.

Do specifications overlook Qi charging because it isn't so much a feature of the tablets as a feature of the battery and they expect you to get a Qi capable battery?

Is there a site somewhere that specializes in telling which devices support Qi charging?

PS: I am having to return a Nexus 7 second generation (2013) I purchased because it apparently was "refurbished" with a battery without a Qi coil.

I have an Andriod 9 phone. I want to turn off 'Apps are using battery' sound notification, or better still that app notification. Found this but does not work on my phone:-

https://android.gadgethacks.com/how...using-battery-notification-galaxy-s9-0183532/

Also want to turn off sound notification when using Google Pay i.e. having made a payment do not want the sound telling me that I have just paid; still want the app to accept the payment notification; just no sound.

BTW in settings > apps > Google Pay notification is blocked; what is blocked?

Is it possible to turn off these sounds?

I do not want all notification sounds turned off; just these at present.

I was going through my phone files to clean out some stuff, and I happened to open up the backup folder.

There are a lot of Word Docs in there. When I open one I get an error message.

I tried saving one onto my computer and opening it that way, but I get the same error message that says it can't read it or doesn't know what the file is.

Does anybody know what these Word Doc files are? Where did they come from? Can I delete them without causing any problems to the phone?

This icon is showing within the phone app on my S10e on the call info screen:



What is this?

What is it with mp3s? Sometimes when I play a song it sounds fine and other times exactly the same one sounds as if it's being shot down by enemy fire. Why is that and how do I fix it?
