    Help Android: Intermittently don't receive/send texts

    The periods that I go text-dark are most often just hours, so I will have to do the testing myself... Sure that part is easy, but post-Reset I'd have to do a bunch of setup I presume (and my time and--thanks to carpal tunnel--my available hand-use, is very limited). I just thought of a new...

    Help Android: Intermittently don't receive/send texts

    And that would be unacceptable, which is why I asked about temporarily porting my number to the new carrier. That would be too much for me to do, I'd just settle for it's slowness.

    Help Android: Intermittently don't receive/send texts

    A. While changing carriers would be best, since it's an intermittent problem I'd need to test for like a week, and optimally have my same phone number. Would moving a number to a new carrier *temporarily* be feasible? B. Alternatively (or perhaps first) I could try what my carrier suggested...

    Help Android: Intermittently don't receive/send texts

    I don't think that's it. During the text-less periods I also don't get texts that aren't from iPhones. Sometimes I realize that I'm in a text-less period because I try sending verification code texts from multiple banks and none arrive. Then I try sending myself a text from a Google.Voice...

    Help Android: Intermittently don't receive/send texts

    I've suspected it was a carrier issue all along; they haven't been the slightest bit receptive to that idea. I guess I could change carriers and see if that helps.

    I'm using Mint Mobile with a OnePlus 10T. Sorry I forgot to mention these!

    Help Android: Intermittently don't receive/send texts

    The majority of the time no issue, but at other times hours or days pass without receiving/sending texts. Then all the texts sent to me over those hours or days all appear at once. Rebooting sometimes results in them all appearing at once. Measures tried: Remove/replace SIM while phone off...

    setting up 2nd phone w/less storage

    I just got a cheapo 2nd phone I plan to keep in the car and charged for emergencies. I don't suppose I can import a backup from my phone which has so many apps on it, that the backup wouldn't fit on the new phone. But I would love to somehow save time in setting up this new phone. Is there a...

    Help Battery Indicator widgets not working on Android 10

    I thought the problem might just be with the indicator-circle around the "Clock" app widget, but I tried a couple standalone battery indicator widgets and they don't work either. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.deskclock&hl=en_US (There used to be a full circle...

    can one lock phone?

    Is there some way to manually lock my phone (short of rebooting it)? I've got Android 9 on Moto G7 with Action Launcher 40.1

    Action Launcher change color notification bar

    1. The top row (aka "Notification Bar") background is much too dark to see the icons. I new to Android and Action Launcher, and I can't figure out how to resolve this by: A. Making the icons white instead of black, or B. Lightening the background (I think I figured out that the Action...

    voicemail notification dot doesn't work

    I tried enabling notification dots everywhere I googled about but they aren't working. Moto G7, Android 9. Is this normal (I'm a smartphone noob). If I call on another phone and leave a message (after hitting the decline button) the notification dot never appears...but if I click to open the...

    change 'primary' Google account?

    Now that I've added a 2nd Google account (work, because I use it for email & Contacts) to the phone I want to make sure the phone's PRIMARY Google account is the first one I had already added. But I'm not sure how to find (let alone how to assign) which Google account is the phone's primary...

    phone says Contacts Sync-ed but has zero

    While helping my dad (which entailed adding his google account to my phone) I mistakenly let my phone sync his contacts, so to get rid of them I got rid of all my phone's contacts*. Then I turned on Contact Sync for the one google account I want contacts from, and it says it Sync-ed, but when I...

    connections for simultaneous call and music output

    I've read that this is app dependent, and I know wireless output would be an option, but I'll want to simultaneously output WIRED to both a headset and speakers. The phone will have both USB-C and 3.5mm (the usual female TRRS). (3.5mm audio-only outputs are TRS.) Could it work to use a USB-C...
