    Why does my phone say "Roaming Indicator Off" instead of the provider name?

    Posted: 28 Nov 2019 04:07 PM PST

    Hi all. I have an unlocked Moto G7 Power I'm using on the Ting 20-for-20 plan. In the banner where the carrier name normally shows, and in the Settings under Mobile Networks as well, it shows "Roaming Indicator Off", instead of showing "Sprint", which I've been told it should show for Ting CDMA. I've done the dialer stuff with the star-pound-72786-pound-star. I even did the same as above with 786 for a factory reset, no dice. Then I did the regular System menu factory reset, same thing.

    I also did the 4636 menu thing too, and set it to LTE Only. The banner then showed "Sprint", but setting back to "LTE/CDMA/UMTS", or any other setting with CDMA included, changes it back to "Roaming Indicator Off", so something with the CDMA provisioning is off. Yet calling and SMS/MMS works fine, LTE data is fine. Any suggestions? I've already done 2 factory resets, and don't want to do another one. I guess it's something I can deal with as long as everything is working, it's just weird though.

    Help! What Android streaming should I get!?

    Posted: 28 Nov 2019 03:44 PM PST

    Hi Everyone, I'm tech savvy but have minimal experience with Android, just for whatever reason I've never used much of their devices.

    I have an apple TV and was thinking of upgrading to maybe the new generation but heard good things about the Android Tv's, specifically heard I should aim for Xiomi Box or Nvidia Shield.

    These are my needs.

    1. I need it to have an optical out, or audio out or connect to my Bluetooth earphones.
    2. Main Reason why I'm getting this is that apparently I can stream Adult Swim programming even though I'm in Canada (please correct me if I'm wrong)
    3. For that to happen device has to be able to use VPN, I usually can't configure the modem as the ISP is locked somehow, I always struggle with this. If the device doesn't have the software and it's relying on DNS servers usually can't get the VPN to work. Any info on this would be great.
    4. Must be able to connect to Netflix, Amazon prime.
    5. I have a google home, I heard these are google home compatible.
    6. I like gaming but already have a Ps4, it also looks like the games it runs here are more like mobile games? I heard you can run steam games, but.. how is the performance on that?

    I've also seen other models: S10 Mini, Smart Android 9.0 but I have no idea or reference.

    What does the Storage is actually for, just storing apps? What should I aim for?

    One thing I like about the apple tv is the GUI feels really smooth and responsive something I usually don't see in other streaming boxes. Wondering if anybody had an opinion on this.

    Any other information that might be important for me to know, please share.

    BONUS POINTS! if you can point me out as to where I could get a black Friday or cyber Monday deal here in Canada.

    Thank you all!! I really appreciate all the help. My head is kind of spinning from all the reading I've been doing but I still don't have a really good reference.

    Wanting to leave apple

    Posted: 28 Nov 2019 09:30 PM PST

    I figured this was the best place to go for some suggestions lol. I am a long time apple user and I have ultimately grown bored with them. I want to be able to customize my phone without the jailbreak side of it. I currently have an iPhone 8 plus, but I have been eyeing the note 10 plus for awhile now.. Has anybody in this sub left apple for android and if so how is your current experience? I know it would take some getting used to, but I really want to make the switch.

    Buying Google Play Pass Apps

    Posted: 28 Nov 2019 09:43 PM PST

    Am I missing something? There are some Google play Pass apps that want to buy during the Black Friday sale to keep permanently, but I don't see how to buy them.

    If I cancel my subscription, that just means I won't get charged again. My play pass subscription will stay active in the meantime, however, and miss the Black Friday deals.

    Please tell me that Im missing something.

    "muting" ok Google search thing

    Posted: 28 Nov 2019 01:37 PM PST

    Is there any way to have the "ok Google" thing come up but not say anything?

    For example I say "okay Google search for this" and then Google just searches for it without saying "searching for this..."

    The problem is it is conflicting with the read allowed app and once the Google starts talking it starts a big loop of the phone talking into Google.

    Hope this makes sense

    Is there an app that can add a clock overlay to the status bar?

    Posted: 28 Nov 2019 04:37 PM PST

    I'm struggling to find an app that can add an overlay to centre the clock in the status bar. I have found several status bar replacement apps, and while they do have the clock in the centre, they aren't fully functional. So is there an app that doesn't work as a replacement status bar, but just puts a clock overlay over the status bar? Thanks in advance.

    Is there some kind of tactile micro-usb media controller for driving?

    Posted: 28 Nov 2019 08:01 PM PST

    When I commute I usually have my phone in a mount while playing music through spotify. However, the play/pause/next/prev buttons are quite small and hard to hit on the touchscreen, so it seems kinda dangerous to use while driving. Is there some kind of cheap micro usb thing I can plug into the phone to give me a set of tactile buttons so that I can do those things without looking?

    I always get super generic results when searching for this kind of thing online.

    Bluetooth can work but I'd prefer something I can just plug in.

    Can't delete file for X-Plane 10

    Posted: 28 Nov 2019 07:58 PM PST

    So when trying to install an app, I didn't have enough storage, so I got the prompt to delete apps to clear up space. Since I no longer wanted X-Plane, I selected it then tapped continue. When I noticed there still wasn't enough space I went to my files and discovered this file, and I am not able to delete it. Is there anything I can do? Screenshot of the issue Issue is on an LG K20V

    LG G2 won't stay connected to cellular network

    Posted: 28 Nov 2019 01:40 PM PST

    3 or 4 times a day, the LG G2 just loses all cellular network connectivity and shows no bars. Texts and calls do not get sent and do not come in. A reboot is needed to fix it. Reseating the SIM card does not help. Disabling wi-fi calling does not help. I cannot factory reset, as it is not my phone and the owner is unwilling to put their data somewhere else. Is there anything else I can try?

    Android controllers

    Posted: 28 Nov 2019 03:42 PM PST

    Hi there, I would like to know if there are any Android controllers that work with the PS4 remote play app. I know that you can use the PS4 controller but only if your phone has Android 10, which mine doesn't. So, is there any controller that works with the remote play app? I Google it already but it only talks about the PS4 controller and how to connect it...

    Freezing Google Play store via Titanium backup

    Posted: 28 Nov 2019 07:05 PM PST

    Is there any other Android functionality that depends on Google play store except for in app purchases? I am planning to freeze Google play store to keep my phone apps lean and to a minimum. For other apps that I purchased via play store, will I lose license on it once I freeze the store?

    Is there a Do Not Disturb override?

    Posted: 28 Nov 2019 06:49 PM PST

    Hi there; my dad has an S10 and I am posting on his behalf. Last night before bed, he turned his phone's Do Not Disturb feature on, and forgot to turn it off today. He had his phone on him in the morning, and later in the afternoon noticed that he had misplaced it somewhere in the house. Everyone had been looking left and right for it to no avail. Unfortunately, we also cannot call the phone because it is on Do Not Disturb. It's been hours and we still can't find it. Is there any Do Not Disturb override that we can initiate to call the phone?? We are really stuck and his cell phone is his primary phone for his business, so we are really worried. Any help would be much appreciated!

    My wifi keeps turning off when I try to make a wifi hotspot

    Posted: 28 Nov 2019 06:33 PM PST

    So then my hotspot is useless because it has no connection. I cant get the hotspot to work. It works fine with data but can't get it to work with wifi. Even on wifi hotspot apps the wifi disconnects itself.

    I upgraded phone today, everything including photos automatically transferred to the new phone, but the photos I had organised in albums are now just sitting unorganized in the "Photos" tab and the "Albums" tab shows as empty.

    Is there any way to easily sort them like it was on my old phone?

    Phone is a OnePlus 7T Upgraded from a OnePlus One
