nope

Sorry, --they have trained me to self-censor. Okay - lol - how about this: "I know how to prevent, and cure, co vid" and "here's a link talking about who is really pulling the strings in DC" Now, about that stripe, band, strip, artifact, anomaly... (If it was long co vid, I'd know what to do...

I have a horizontal band (see image) that shows up on 75%+ of Facebook Reels at the level of the thumbs-up icon. This band shows up on TWO devices and does not display on my PC. The devices are Samsung Note 8 and Tab S5e. [Not in order of attempts] I have disabled, then reinstalled FB, updated...

Hello, I have an old Samsung Note 8 and am recovering from a painful accidental factory reset. I have utilized and am progressing with ~partial~ backups from Samsung, Google, and Xfinity and have re-installed many apps from the Play Store. I have an SD card that I have a great deal of data on...

Brought my phones to Xfinity from Verizon

I am unable to send or receive SMS text messages. I have a Samsung Tab S5e. I do not have a SIM card installed. I use Wi-Fi for everything on this device and have used it for SMS for years. Of course, I could enable “calls and texts from other devices” to use my phone’s connection. All apps...

We have two devices. Samsung S8 and Note 8. Both do not display a notification in standby (locked, dark screen) mode when a new visual voicemail is received. No sound. No LED. We have to use our psychic powers to guess if there are any new VMs. Voicemails do pop-up about 15 seconds after we...

Thank you for the PhotoRec link. Awesome. Saved for future. I did find all the folders on the card and copied all of them to a folder on my PC I am fairly well convinced that a new SD card is needed, so, you can skip all my notes below if you wish. Phone is happy with no card, and is...

Took my Note 4 on the eclipse adventure and the phone started acting weird. Spontaneous restarts and my SD card appeared to be empty! The time lapse movie and other images are most important to me. Besides unmounting, then re-mounting the card, I did nothing (and took no more photos) hoping to...

Factory reset in progress - "OK Google" is operational Wondering when I can do a Restore from Helium....the Play Store will be trying to download 150 apps Never mind....train gone

Hi - actually, I am trying to get into Settings>Text-to-speech options ... to set it back to US English (from the nice Australian accent English) to fix a "OK Google" not responding. I read somewhere that US English is the only one that OK Google works with. Try as I might, even in Safe Mode...

Greetings, Intending to do a Factory Reset, I now have the Pro version of Helium, and have put a 'select all' backup copy onto my PC. (I also copied all of the contents of both the Phone and the Card manually into a folder on my PC) I am wondering what will be missing when I restore after a...

What I wanted to record was a Periscope broadcast. Without a bunch of juggling, Periscope comes into my phone. All my recording software is for my desktop screen. I got it running so that I could record, but then I wanted to walk around the house and watch it on my phone, while recording it on...

Nope. It's still a mystery.

I have been playing with the "animated still" (aka cinemagraph) feature of the stock phone in my new Note 4. On playback, my GIFs play through forwards, then run backwards!?! What's up with that? Is it something I have done? Some setting I am not aware of? I took a look at one on Photoshop...
