Android Phone doesn't receice imeasages.

D
I have a Samsung Galaxy S20 Fe 5G phone. About 3 days ago my phone started to not receive messages from iPhone users. I am able to call iPhone users and also receive any form of image from them but not a text. I am able to see their replies in the group chat that I'm in, which is made up of iPhone and android users. Whenever someone who uses a iPhone and sends me a text directly, I can't see what their reply was. I am able to text them but not the other way around. I tried everything from resetting network connecting, clearing my cache and data from the messages app, airplane mode, reseting phone and even called my phone carrier to see if they can help but no one has been able to help.

Help Phone updating WiFi searches.

Z
Hi, I am trying to find out how to stop my OnePlus 11 Android mobile from always updating the WiFi internet searches made on my laptop. Every time I go to Chrome, on my phone, all of the internet searches that I made on my laptop are listed, which I then need to delete or the list would be hundreds long. The searches are shown as "suggested searches" when Chrome is first opened. I also use Chrome on my laptop.

System application Android 12 with strange name

H
Hi,

On my Moto G31 phone discovered a strange name application that was having access to my storage, calendar and contacts.

Now it is deactivated with no possibility to uninstall it.

It is the last application showing in the system application list, a strange name like Chinese characters translating ‘Please Remove the device and add the new device’

Is this some kind of a malware?

Thanks.

Can't send MMS

S
Every time I send a picture or video I get "Message not sent: Service not activated on the network" on my Samsung Galaxy A14 5G straight talk phone. I've called Straight Talk and they haven't been able to help, factory reset, network settings reset, checked app permissions/settings and still can't figure it out. Any solutions or ideas what might be causing this? Thanks for your time.

S23 Skipping Letters While Typing

M
I have a.Samsung S23. Over the last month it started skipping letters while I was typing texts, doing searches, using FB messenger. etc. (Basically I hit the key and it didn't type the letter). Sometimes the skipping was frequent, other times occasional). I tried uninstalling various apps, using different keyboards, different texting apps, cleared cache, etc. Nothing worked. Verizon finally sent me a replacement phone and I used Smartswitch to move all my stuff to the new phone. I had this new phone for a week and all was fine. Today it started skipping again. So obviously this is not a phone issue since the new phone is doing it now. Could this be an app? Maybe I should have done a factory reset instead of using Smartswitch, does that make a diff? Where do I go from here?

Help Web pages disappeared

J
Xiaomi Mi 9T
Android 11
Ecosia web browser
Carrier - EE

I have been adding web pages to my home screen & organising into folders alongside related apps. Yesterday all those web pages suddenly disappeared leaving just the apps in the folders.

There had been several 3rd party app updates a few hours before, but no system app updates for a couple of weeks (I've disabled auto update).

So, any ideas about why all these web pages have just disappeared &, more importantly, how I can find & restore then? Also, how can I prevent this happening again?

Thanks

Samsung Messages app - exploit/security risk?

S
Does anyone else using the Samsung Messages app get these texts? What would be the exploit they are trying to take advantage of?
  • From international numbers
  • No notification of new message, but shows up in your list of conversations with (No subject) and a date
  • When you click into the conversation there is no message, no date
  • Blue dot next to profile pic indicates they use Samsung chat mode (?)

  • Question
Samsung tablet s8 Ultra

S
I've had a Samsung tablet S8+ for over a year and really wanted the bigger verision the Ultra. Here in the US the Ultra is only a Wifi tablet. Over in Europe it has a SIM card slot and is able to do cellulure and wifi. I seached some websites and felt I could purchase the European tablet and make it compatible with my AT&T cellular service. I've not been successful in doing this and the buyer (Ebay) refuses to accept a return. Can anyone help me make this ATT compatible?

As a side note when I do insert the sim card into the Ultra tablet it does recognize it as a sim card, just not compatible.
