    Why do I have com.vzw.apnlib on my phone when I don't have Verizon as a carrier?

    This came on my factory unlocked Galaxy Note 9 which I use on varied mobile networks, with different sim cards depending on where I am around the globe...

    Why can I not use uhd audio upscaling or change audio codecs?

    Thanks for the interest in helping! It turned out you were exactly correct- The HiFi earbuds were from a company called MPOW & were supposed to have the APTx codec (amongst others), however a few days after making the initial post, I noticed there was uneven playback between the right/left...

    Why can I not use uhd audio upscaling or change audio codecs?

    Why can I not use uhd audio upscaling or change audio codecs?

    I'm trying to get the best sound quality for a HiFi Bluetooth set of buds on my Galaxy Note 8 (Verizon), so I've been trying to mess with the Bluetooth codecs, choosing aptx, LDAC or "all codecs" in the developer's options menu, but the only change I made that will stick/remain after closing the...

    Sd card issues with 6.0 marshmallow update.

    Hey there! New to this forum but well versed in Android. This page came up 2nd in Google search for SDXC issues with Marshmallow, so hoped I'd get a solution to following: After initial update to 6.0 on Note 4 (Verizon), had unreal rolling crashes, which would culminate in an automated reboot...
