Please help, whatsapp clone issue!

Hi everyone,

I seem to have a difficult situation that I am trying to solve.
It is about a whats app clone.
I have a new phone with a new number and used a whats app clone to get my old whats app on my new phone.
So old whats app was connected via whats web to my new cell.
Now someone else has that number and phone, but I have not thought to disconnect in whats app before I transferred number and phone.
I dont have the app installed anymore on my new phone.
Does this all mean that the old phone is connected to my new phone? Should I be worried about it?
I really hope someone can help me with this.

Help Clock keeps changing on lock

Hello!
I recently aquired a Galaxy J6 and it's clock doesn't work as should be.
When I lock the smartphone, apperently the clock keeps changing, not going the speed it should. It goes slower than it should. Today I woke up with the clock on 8AM, but it was 10AM.

This happens both on manually or automatically.

I didn't root or anything. I bought it and just start to use, after software update.
Does anyone knows why this is happening?
Thank you.

Weird Alarm (on Home screen and Notification)

On my Android 5.1 I have a weird alarm on the Home screen and in the notification area.
I don't know where it comes from and can't get rid of it.
That Alarm is NOT visible in the Date/Time App !!!

Joined are two Pics
Pic1 :
Showing the Alarm (Sun 10:00) and the Icon in the Notification Area
Pic2 : Showing a new alarm I added together with a SECOND Icon in the Notification Area

When the alarm of Pic2 is terminated, I'm back on the Pic1 situation.

I tried already to remove/add the widget and had a look in all sort of Apps.
Can't find a way to get rid of that alarm

Any Ideas where / how I can see where it comes from ? How to remove it ?

Images and Files deleting overnight

Morning

On each of the last 3 days I have woken up to find my phone has deleted all images and files.

If I check Gallery all images and videos have gone, if I go into my files and to the relevant folder they are not there either. This includes all downloaded files.
The only way I appear to still be able to see the images is if it's something been sent via WhatsApp going back into the chat and clicking the image to download it again.

I had not downloaded any new apps prior to this. I've tried device maintenance and running scans with no threats found, I've since downloaded AVG on my phone and also got no threats found.

Any suggestions?

Phone Samsung Galaxy s10+
Software Android 9
Please let me know if you need anymore info.

Thanks in advance.

Where is the apps button on my Home screen?

There was a white apps button on my home screen that when depressed displayed Icons not shown on my Home and other panes/screens. I used to have on three dots or panels including my home screen. Since the apps button disappeared I now have nine panels filled with icons.

I loved the fact I only saw the apps I used regularly. If and when I need an app I didn't use often I would tap the apps button find and used the desired app.

How can I restore the app button that was on my home screen?

Thanks!

Please Advise - Found and somehow enabled TMobile App

Hello,
While I was going through Lookout's(pre-installed) privacy check I seem to have found the T-MOBILE (akin to MyMetro) app and enabled it. I am now unable to disable it!
I updated it to the current version and turned off the permission I can. However, it is a little odd the have it sitting in the app draw and to have it at all.
I've actually found many "hidden apps" with Lookout and McAfee privacy scans. But this is the only one I seem to have enabled.
Please advise on how I should proceed to handle this app.
I'd prefer not to do a full restore.

Thank you for your time and help

Recommended Tablet for Manga

I just made friends with other otakus in town and now I'm interested in reading manga, again. (Until now, I've just been watching anime) I have an iPad 2 updated to iOS 9.3 and the old thing is just not good for web browsing (and a few other things), anymore. I also have an Alldocube Mix Plus tablet, but lately I find myself using it more like a laptop, rather than as a tablet, with the keyboard attachment. Plus, both tablets are rather large (9-11 in.) and heavy for me to carry everywhere. So, I'm looking for a tablet with the following criteria:
  • 7-8 inches
  • Lightweight
  • Micro SD card support
  • At least 4GB RAM
  • HDMI-Out or compatibility with USB-C dongles
Bonus:
  • Latest version of Android
  • No bloatware
  • Value-priced
The one gripe that I have with a lot of Chinese Android devices is their lack of software updates, which makes me kinda nervous. Anybody know a good tablet that meets these criteria (at least the non-bonus ones)? Thanks.

Legal information

Here is my phone info. About a couple of months ago some of my downloads will stop and say download pending. No idea way. I did clear data and catch. I tried other browsers like uc browser, cm browser and apps like advance download manager. The files would try to retry but it didn't work. I also notice in chrome is when try to sign up for tweeter or go from on table to the next and come back tab would do a fresh. Example when sign up for tweeter or sites I use sites that have disposal email because I us it usually get spam. I would open a new tab to copy and paste the disposal or check the email but when I come back to the tweeter tab the page is fresh and I can't sign up. Sorry I can't explain things probably. When trying to sign up for tweeter on chrome browser I got a message saying I violatwd something. I used signup never used it. This happened many times. I would sign up with a disposal email and within minutes be banbed saying suspicious activity. Please help. Thank you.

Stopped connecting to TV help....

so I bought a Sandstrom USB type c to HDMI adaptor to link my HTC 10 up to the TV, got it out the package and plugged it all in, didn't work. I then tried it on a TV upstairs and it worked straight away, brought it back down and tried again on original TV, was working fine, no issues at all. Watched a film, unplugged to charge phone, next time I plugged it in it worked no problems for all of around 5 minutes, then it went off and stopped displaying on the TV. Since then I've been unable to get it working. I've only used the adapted twice so am slightly confused as to what happened. The phone registers it when it's plugged in but doesn't register it as video out onto the TV. Is there a knack to these things, could it be an issue with a setting on my phone or something? Any help would be greatly appreciated I'm at a complete loss.

Ways to identify if phone has been hacked/cloned?

I'm looking for some folks that really know their stuff. I've been having some odd issues going on for the last few months. Myself and a family member (that the odd happenings were going on with first actually) seem to be getting our data cut off at times when neither of us is near our data limits. Seems to happen most when we try to contact each other. The family's member's phone has shown strong signs of being cloned such as shutting down unexpectedly, phone gets hot suddenly, etc. I can be out for a good part of the day and be on data and when I come home and connect to my wifi automatically, I get flooded with notifications. Delayed texts (hours old) and emails. My Facebook has been showing my make and model on my logins but they were out of state and had different IP addresses. When I log them out, it also boots me off. I no longer am receiving codes to my phone for things such as 2 step authentication, as if they are going to another phone. I used to use Texta until I noticed where you go to uninstall updates it said "uninstall for all users" so that was a red flag. I should be the only user of the phone. I was interested a few months back in switching to Total Wireless and put my IMEI number on their site and chatted with a rep and they said all I needed was a new SIM card and it could be swapped over. Fast forward to after these suspicious logins and weirdness, I have since tried to change carriers and when they run my IMEI they now say I'm not compatible. I googled my cell number and it shows my carrier as SPRINT SPECTRUM LP which has nothing to do with TracFone or Straight Talk to my knowledge (correct me if I'm wrong) and when I research that it shows something to do with law enforcement? Is it possible someone has cloned my IMEI and they're getting all my data and notifications before I do? I know I have done nothing to worry about, it's more of an annoyance than anything. But I cannot afford to miss important notifications or calls/texts and I'd hate to get rid of this phone I haven't had even a year and spent a good bit on (to me anyway) and change my number which will be a hassle. Nor do I want to wipe my phone due to having a lot of important things on it since I've started tracking all of this strange stuff. I also would like to add that when I used Find My Device, with it right in my hand, it wasn't able to find it, and said remote location turned off, when my location was on. That's never happened before. This really is a small portion of my story, despite my novel. Sorry for that by the way....lol....

Anyone out there with some knowledge on cloning and anything to do with the topic of being traced? Thanks in advance.

Help Oreo 8.1.0 without notification dots/badges

I was fond of the badges of some previous versions, they were big enough for me to see and had numbers to show how many stuff to check on.

With 8.1.0 they said it is notification dots. Well, now I see no badge, no number... and no dot!

I have notifications and notification dots set to all apps, but all I get is the usual notification bar behavior to see when new things arrive.

Is there something wrong with Oreo 8.1.0, my settings, or is it my old Moto G4 Plus?

FYI I use Nova Launcher (free version).
