This should be really simple but it seems like a total scam. Just can't figure out how the perpetuator benefits from it.

Android 6.0.1 on a Samsung Galaxy J7 Sky Pro.

Need to buy a new phone.
All I want to do is backup my contacts. Text messages would be nice too but good God I can't imagine Lord Google allowing that.

Connected USB cable and copied everything to my pc.
No contacts.

Researched online and found some Google employee saying Contacts are in a SQLite file encrypted and only way to back them up is via a Google account.

So I log into the Google account from my desktop. Do everything I can to tell it to synch, backup, call it what you want, those contacts.
No contacts.

Searched everything I could find as to settings on the phone as to how to make this happen and did everything they said.
No contacts.

OK here we are better part of a day fighting something as stupid as backing up ONE FILE and zero progress.

WTF am I doing wrong?

WTF do I need to do to get my contacts backed up somewhere or to something so that I can go purchase a new phone?

Hi friends, I've created the following class.

I can see the location using Log.d in the activity I'm assigning a location to.

MainActivity.class (location assignment class)

Okey. But when I copy and paste the same line of Log.d over a different fragment, I get the following error;

TodayFragment.java

Result;
java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'double android.location.Location.getLatitude()' on a null object reference

Null object reference error. What could be the problem? Can you help me. Thank you.[/code]

Hello,

I have a Samsung Tab 4 (SM-T530NU) that clearly needs to be re-imaged. Since I dont know anything about android re-imagining, I was wondering if someone would be wonderful and help me?

I am looking for a couple things:
- How do you re-image these (usb to computer)?
- What version should I image this sucker with?
- Anything else is cool to know, but mainly Thank You.

Mike

Simply: is the parental control on the play store a joke? You just go to the setting -> app, find the Google play store app, clear the cache and data and parental control is turned off without having had to give your parental control password. No security hole exploit, just use the options that are there. Or maybe I miss the obvious (but even in this case, I would guess I am not the only one). So simply what is this parental control about?!

Hi all. I switched my Huawei p30 to a guest user so someone could use it to take photos at my wife's birthday party. Once I got it back I switched to my normal profile. This morning I went back to guest user but accidentally pressed "start again" instead of "continue" and now all the photos are gone. Is there anyway to recovery these? Please, I will be killed if I don't get these. Thanks

For months I've been trying to figure out how to shrink the font size in messages. I knew it could be done because it kept changing size after my 10 month old grandson would play with the phone. I looked everywhere on the internet for an answer but couldn't find one all I could find was how to changebthebfintbsize on the phone its self NOT messenger. Well for all of you with the same issue, I have the answer. PINCH & ZOOM (in or out) will change the font size. Your welcome. Lol

To all the Mom's on AF, Happy Mothers Day.

I wish to check or change the option selected in "Delete from server" but cannot find a way to access it in the Samsung Email app.

Going to Settings>Cloud and accounts>Accounts and tapping Email shows the email account, "Sync account" and a tab, "REMOVE ACCOUNT" only; nothing exists to take me to the set up.

It's a really good chair except for that. I think it's leather. At least the color makes it easy to spot 'em. I gave it a good dose of Raid bedbug spray. Will that do it? I don't want to get rid of the chair, which is really comfortable and has a matching ottoman. Besides, I couldn't afford another one. Because of the cat there's probably no way to use a fogger.

Error in application this problem is not solved please help me

Apparently Wear OS 2.6 has Tiles built in: it's a server-side feature, so it's a matter of Google flipping a switch to activate it. While there are reports of Huawei Watch 2 and Montblanc Summit 2 watches getting it, my son has the Huatch 2 and I have the Summit 2... neither of us have Tiles yet. So it's hit or miss.

I changed my resolution with Easy DPI changer, but my screen minimalized and i cant fix it. i cant even shut my phone down. help me pls

Hi. I am having trouble with a lot of pop up adds, I have therefore installed many malware and antivirus apps which have detected that a 'Clock' app has been installed which may be harmful. Not the stock 'Clock app' already installed. I think this is causing all the pop apps and slowing down my phone. All the Malware and antivirus apps have detected it and have uninstalled it. And then no more pop adds etc. However a few minutes late the app re installs itself over and over again no matter how many times I uninstall it. The icon is a green clock. Driving me mad. Any suggestions please.

It only happens in Facebook when I try to open a link

Hi to all, I have a Moto e4 using a Sprint network. I'm here to learn more about how to optimize using my device. I'm sure I'll lurk more than post.

So nearly every five minutes, I get this message from Vodafone as shown below. I've tried clicking on cancel and OK but that hasn't stopped these from coming. Clicking on OK took me to the "SIM 1 Toolkit" app, so this is probably coming from there? I can't disable this app however, and possibly this app needs to stay on for the SIM to work normally.

Is there any safe way to stop these from coming?

I have this error i don't know what to do.

The project 'android' may be using a version of Gradle that does not contain the method.

I have been trying for months to get group texting with some friends on iPhones to work. I have used Messages, Textra and Handcent with no luck. I have reset all the settings and even did a factory reset. Nothing. Virgin has reset all my settings at their end. I can send a text to multiple people, but the replies come back to only me. Most of my friends are iPhone users, and I need to chat with my kids teams. I don’t want to go back to an iPhone! Please help.

Hi,

Does anyone know how/why this happens and why it won't let me change to the white one?

I miss them.

After updating any app I am not getting app update notification on the Status Bar. I have checked app notification and Updated apps is marked checked. My android version is Pie (9).

My custom ringtone that I have assigned to my phone is not working. It plays a different sound that almost sounds like an error. The correct sound plays when you are selecting it from the Ringtone section in Settings, but when I get a call it plays an error sound. Built-in ringtones work fine.

I am using the Google Pixel 1st generation.

I am have been looking everywhere at 1st I thought it was a voicemail notification icon but it's not does anyone know what this is notifying my bf off?

Hard reset new
