On my Instagram account today was an ad for something I had searched for yesterday on chrome. Where, if possible would I find the settings to block that info from travelling?
It seems like you can officially only remove the Facebook ads.



However according to this article You might b able to get rid of it altogether http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/instagram-ad-flag-inappropriate/

I have a moto g5 plus, I'm attempting to add a Google account for Gmail only however it's synching the contacts also even if I uncheck sync contacts it doesn't unsync them. Is there anyway around this or a app that will just load Gmail?

You can use any other email app. MailDroid, Outlook, and K-9 Mail to name a few popular ones.

My phones internal memory is almost full and slowing it down dramatically. I connected the phone multiple times to my PC and tried both file and photo transfer. None find any of the close to 15GB of photos and videos that I have in one folder.

It takes 25 min to see all the files but then all the files are empty. When I try to move the folder it takes 40 calculating the time then has a fatal error.

I have them backed up to Google photos but I want a saved file of high resolution pics.

Any way for me to get them on to a PC?

TIA

Trying to use data recovery software but they are all requesting that I allow debbuging for the PC but I'm only getting this option.

Oh, I didn't understand what you meant. I thought you want a data plan for a phone that does not have calling capabilities...

Hi I'm new here and I happened upon this post. If I understand correctly, you want to have calls go straight to VM while data is still on, right?  If this is the case, go into your settings,  go to sounds and notifications. You can select "do not disturb" mode so that calls go directly to vm and you can still use data (you can also customize this). Hope this helps.

Welcome to the forums!

Thanks, it doesn't seem to work, I'll play around a little bit and see what happens.

Try a call blocker app.
 Something like this should do the job, just block all calls.

I'm locked out of my phone... The swipe won't work I need to enter a password. And it only gives me 10 attempts.  I tried it 9 times and I don't remember the password.


I tried to lock the device via Android Device manager but since the device already has a password it won't override it.

How can I get in??

I can't grant any permissions to apps. I get a pop-up that says screen overlay detected. I then have a list of a few apps that I can select yes.

I can't access pics on WhatsApp etc. Or even upload my screenshot to Tapa
