Question about Storage (Samsung Note9)

Hello everyone,

I'm on a Samsung Note 9 with 512G SD card - encrypted. I've moved most of the apps from *internal storage to *external SD card. I did this to all my apps one by one.

However, every time when I reboot my device. All storage of each app switched back from *external to *internal, and I have to do all the setting for each app again.

Am I not supposed to reboot the machine with external SD card? lol it sounds ridiculous. Can someone help me to make sure the storage sticks to *external?

Thank you in advance.

OS Upgrade for Coolpad Note 3 Lite

I have a Coolpad Note 3 Lite and I've been searching for latest OS for my phone. I saw that Android Oreo has been released for my phone, not sure about Pie, and no scatter file is released for any OS after Marshmallow. All are available in zip file. I even tried installing them by TWRP Recovery but it fails every time. Anyone can tell me how to install Nougat or Oreo?

Can't share images to Snapchat Android Pie

Hey guys, ever since the Pie update, Snapchat doesn't come up on my Direct Share options. In order to share a pic in or screenshot or whatever it is, I'd have to save it in my camera row and for those with lots of stored pics like me, it is a pain to scroll through it

ANybody know how to force snapchat to show up on Direct Share/Smart Share options on Pie? I am not rooted. This is so freaking annoying. Every useless app I don't need to share stuff on shows up except Snapchat

HTC will not update. Error 410

HTC will not update. Error 410

I just bought a new HTC on Ebay. It will not update. It downloads the update, but when it installs, it only gets to 25%. I then get a red triangle with a ! inside and error 410.

I contacted HTC chat, and the guy said it was a google error, and he did not know what to do. Sorry!

My old HTC works fine and has all the updates.

How can I get the updates to work.

The last security patch was Jan 2017. Software 2.41.605.12

Quick Charge 4 available

After searching the net and writing to India, I finally found Quick Charge 4 chargers for our phone. I personally checked 2 that are Qualcomm certified. First the list from Qualcomm(to verify what I said):
https://www.qualcomm.com/media/documents/files/quick-charge-device-list.pdf
This is for the model from Razor (it's cheaper)
https://www.razer.com/mobile/razer-phone-power-adapter
This is for the Belkin wall charger(they also have a car version
https://www.belkin.com/us/p/P-F7U074/
I purchased the Belkin model because I don't about the Razor company. I was told by my contact in India that they are a solid company. I just felt safer with Belkin. I'll let you know how it works when I get it. (It should be the end of this week)

I'm going nuts.....

Hi folks. Before I top myself, any ideas on this one?

Galaxy S8+

I use Google calendar across multiple devices. There is now a sync problem. iPad and desktop work fine but the phone app is behaving in a random mode. If I delete an event on the 'phone, it disappears on desktop. If I add something on desktop, it doesn't appear on the 'phone. If I add something on the 'phone it doesn't appear on the desktop! This morning I edited an entry on the app on iPad at home. Got to work and desktop is up to date as is mobile but now stuff for next year is missing. Cannot get it to sync these events. This is a recent thing as there is loads of historic data there which was entered from multiple devices including the mobile. I've tried uninstalling, deleting Google account, clearing data etc. etc. I rely on this for work etc and this is making my head explode. Aaaargh!

Help USB OTG duel connection

If you were to connect a duel USB OTG dongle or cable to your smart phone could you connect 2 devices at the same time such as a keyboard and mouse?

I am thinking yes, but am not sure. When reading the specs it would appear so:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_On-The-Go

Attaching two OTG-enabled devices together requires either an adapter in conjunction with the slave device's USB-A cable, or an appropriate dual-sided cable and a software implementation to manage it. This is becoming commonplace with USB Type-C devices.

Just not sure if additional software would be required.

Galaxy Tab S5e won't connect to my home WiFi

Hello,
I have the new Galaxy Tab S5e (there is no sub-section for this device yet.)

I got it on Friday and started to set it up, but it wouldn't connect to my home WiFi (Spectrum lease modem.) It does not give an error message, it just keeps trying to connect over and over. This is both on my 2.4gHz and 5gHz networks. All my other devices connect to it with no problems, including my old Galaxy Tablet. This tablet has connected to both the hot spot on my Note 8 Phone and the open WiFi at my work. I haven't been able to try it on another secure WiFi connection yet.

Here are the fixes I have already attempted: Reboot the tablet. Restore the tablet. Turn on airplane mode. turn off airplane mode. Turn off WiFi and turn back on. Force a static IP. Change the DNS server settings for the network. Reboot the modem. Restore the modem to factory defaults. Change the network to open. Change the encryption security to different types. Change the broadcast channel on the modem. Spend an hour on the phone with Samsung tech support. Spend 2 hours chatting with Spectrum tech support. They both basically gave up and said, "I don't know what's wrong with it. It should be working."

I need to go to bed now, but my options left as I see them: Swap my modem for a new one with Spectrum. Buy my own cable modem. Run my old WiFi router off my Spectrum modem using it as a bridge.

Anyone have any advice?

Backwards Compatibility!

So i've ended up in a weird experiment to reverse engineer Android Pie to be able to run Older Applications & games using the Dalvik Runtime while running the ART Runtime at the same time.

Using libdvm.so i allowed the OS to run older apps that require it, now this is experimental and may not 100% run apps at a full power but it can run along side ART without no issues

Talkatone trouble

I just found out that in less than a month the version of talkatone I've been using won't be supported any more. They're insisting that I "upgrade". What exactly does that mean? Will it cost money? I've been using the free version. I wouldn't say it's great but ok. Does that have anything to do with the problem I've been having with it lately? It seems no matter what number I try to call it's "waiting for answer" and after about a dozen rings it shuts off with no answer.

Flashed TWRP, but can't boot into TWRP recovery.

Hello, I successfully flashed TWRP using Kies. However booting into recovery just takes me to the default recovery mode, not the TWRP. I had USB debugging and OEM unlock turned on before doing this, and flashed the device with it in download mode. I used the correct file for TWRP recovery, did I do something wrong or is there something additional that I must do to access TWRP recovery?
