Hello,
I was recommended to your site from CNET.
I need help with this. I have a Windows Phone (Samsung Focus) and all of a sudden it has stopped deleting history. I've tried everything.
I slide up the bottom screen in IE to show "tabs, recent, favorites etc..." I tap recent, tap the trash can icon, tap delete at the "are you sure" message and nothing happens.
Then I go into settings>applications>IE>delete history and tap delete at the "are you sure" message and nothing happens again.
I've closed out of the tabs. I've turned off the phone and on again. I've removed the battery and sim card and replaced it. Nothing seems to work.
I've done internet searches and they don't help as well.
Does anyone have any idea on how I can get my phone to delete the IE history again?
Thank you for your help.
Normally these should be deleted when you press [delete history]. I believe there is either a bug (in ROM) or it has something to do with the memory card (if you have one). A hard reset might solve your issue.
Thank you
Thank you for your response. I did have to reset it back to factory settings. It's working better now.

You're welcome and I'm sorry there was no simpler solution.
Just use the "Thanks" button if the post has been useful to you - for the future (no need now, you thanked me already :highfive. See the last line in my sig.
Hi all,
Just upgraded from a S3 and can’t seem to get the option to forward a text message.
I used to do this on my S3 by a long press on the text message I wanted to forward.
When I do this now...I only get 2 options....copy text and delete!
On the S3 I have many options.
What am I doing wrong?
How do I forward the message?
Many thanks in advance.
Screenshot attached....
You appear to have posted this in an number of forums. That's bad form, you should stick to one thread. The same amount of time put into a straightforward search would have seen your question answered already. The answer can be found in the S5 manual, myriad search results or on Youtube. Long press on the message balloon instead of the unopened message. Then select forward from the popup menu.
Google search: forward text message s5
Top search result.
Or even better, upgrade to a better third party SMS app.
If you still have problems, post a .PNG screen shot and provide details of your firmware version, app version, what you have tried, et cetera.
Enjoy

This is the first time I have posted this question.
I did do a Google search and the answers that were coming up were a long press on the balloon as you mention.....this doesn’t work on my phone.
I only have 2 options when I do that
1) Delete
Or
2) Copy text
(Screenshot of long press attached)
I have also attached screenshot of my phones details.
It’s very odd, how I’d only have such limited options when I long press on the speech bubble.
Any help appreciated.
You didn't tell us what SMS app version you have or anything about your SMS or APN configuration, so there is no way to discern what might be amiss on your phone.
At a guess, try installing the stock SMS app here
Rename the old SMS app and the corresponding odex file if your system is odexed. Clear your cache and move the new SMS app to /system/priv-app per the directions in the post (do not install via the package manager).

Hi I had this same problem but it appears you may have set your phone to EasyMode. In Easy mode your Samsung S5 collapses your phones functions for specified applications to the bare essentials.
The solution:
1. Find the EasyMode option and set your phone to "Standard Mode"
2. Remain in EasyMode and uncheck Messaging.
Worked for me. Hope it works for you too.
Or you can just Copy text and paste into a new message.

you are absolutely right.

I got a random text from a number with a link that I wound up clicking by accident instead of deleting.
"Jimmy, good afternoon. A small reminder as to your pending photo message: http://sn.im/29q2od4?i=hCTr2EYG4q"
What are the possibilities and how can I check to make sure everything is still good? I ran avg and it came back fine. Never had this potential problem before so I'm clueless
What happened when you went on the site? It probably attempted a download but I can't be sure.
There was a popup that wanted me to click ok to claim a gift card, I either hit cancel or closed the tab. I didn't see anything download but I assume they'd code it to do it silently.

I see those things as pop up ads on my computer sometimes. I wouldn't worry. All they do is try to get your information or install viruses further along. Without installing something manually you should be fine.
Hello.
I just bought the Samsung Galaxy S8 a month ago and I really love it. But there is this one error won't let me take screenshots, no matter in which app. I can't even take screenshots of my home- or lockscreen.
I get the following error message (in german) "Screenshot kann aufgrund einer Sicherheitsrichtlinie nicht aufgenommen werden" which is translated to "Unable to capture screenshot prevented by security policy".
What can I do?
Device info:
Model: SM-G950F
rooted: yes (Magisk v13.3)
EDIT:
Meanwhile I found out that it's not only the screenshots. It seems like a strange permission regarding any media is active. Few examples:
- I can't save a 9Gag post, it doesn't appear in the gallery and not even in the 9Gag folder when I check with ES File Explorer.
- Same goes for snapchat and Reddit. I try to save. Everythings alright, no error. Just doesn't show up in my Gallery.
EDIT2:
When I take pictures using the camera app, I have to select my SD card. When I try saving them to my internal storage, it just doesn't show up in my Gallery / Folder.
As this is my first post, please tell me if you need any further information.
Thanks in advance,
Julian

If you don't have any work related policy, then try to see if you have any credentials saved in settings. Go to settings>lock screen and security>other security settings> and see "clear credentials" If it is not grayed out, then you can try to clear, but if it is grayed out, then you don't have any credentials or policy set.

I don't use Greenify and also haven't disabled any apps. I just tried to reset app presets to re-enable disabled apps and reset the permissions of every app. Nothing changed.

It was grayed out. I also checked the system certs as I though one of them might be disabled, no luck...
Can you check your Device Administrators? This is what would enable a security policy to disable your Screen Shot abilities. You can search for Device Administrators in your device settings.

There are two device administrators registered:
- Find my phone (which is activated, but disabling it doesn't make a difference)
- Secure folder (which is disabled)

That's very strange then. Typically to enforce a "security policy" which would disable Screen Shots, you'd have to consent to a Device Administrator being loaded up. Often this is in the case of Corporate Work Email being put on a device. One of the available functions is the disabling of screenshots if the employer so chooses.

Only mail client I'n using is Gmail, which shouldn't cause any problems.

About the screenshot error, I guess you did already google for it? There are some suggestions, for example in this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-note5/help/screenshot-issues-t3208747/page1
are you sure you are not in secure folder ? because in secure folder and other knox related apps like samsung pass screenshots are not allowed

I am not, since my Phone is rooted and KNOX is triggered anyways.
When I take pictures using the camera app, I have to select my SD card. When I try saving them to my internal storage, it just doesn't show up in my Gallery / Folder.
nothing works here
What resolution is your phone set to? I get this error only when I change the phones resolution above the highest default. Right now i have my resolution at 8k, even at real 4k resolution gives me the same security policy error.
maybe you can try to reboot to safe mode to ensure that it's not a system problem? just press the power button to open power menu, tap and hold the power off, then it will show safe mode, tap it.
BTW you can't take screenshots of lock screen, i got the same prompt while doing this.
While viewing a Google chrome incognito mode page screenshots aren't allowed either.
Annoying " Unable to resume the download. You need to restart the download "
I keep getting that banner pop up at the bottom middle portion of the screen. It happens at various apps and places like the app drawer. I don't know what download it is and how to stop it? I was almost certain that there's no active download every time that message pop up.
Same. I searched the web for this and this thread is the only thing that came up. I wonder if it has to do with apps auto updating in the background or something... Although if it was just a google play store thing then it'd probably be more widespread across other phones, and we happen to have the same phone. So maybe it's some zte thing. I'm trying to think of what of theirs auto updates... Maybe the lock screen backgrounds.. I know those update periodically. It's not a system/os update cuz I have none of those available.

What does it say?
It says "Unable to resume the download. You need to restart the download", just in a rounded rectangle box near the bottom of the screen.
We are sorry to hear you are having trouble with your Axon 7. If you contact us at 1-877-817-1759 we would love to resolve the issue you are having with the phone.

@ZTEUSA Support,
Hi, I worked in ZTE, and focus on AXON 7, are you the same position in USA like me? I hope we can join together to provide better service to customer. Yet I am not a hotline agent, are you?
Also getting this on my Axon 7.
@Gryphticon,
hi, have you tried factory reset your phone? I guess the problem is related with the APP. You may replace the APP or upgrade it.

Okay, let's try to find the culprit. Do you guys have root? I believe those are toast notifications. Download "Toast Source" from the Play Store and see which app is bothering
I don't have root. I just installed the Toast Source app but I haven't seen the notification in a while so I'll have to just wait and see.
Ok, Toast Source just caught it and apparently the built in Download Manager app (orange icon, I'm assuming it's from zte) is giving the message. The last two times it showed up was i think after i had left range of a wifi network (screen might have been off), and after waking up in the morning and unlocking my phone.
I also had no active downloads running, and don't see anything in the list in the download manager app, so it's gotta be something happening automatically in the background.
