Hello, thank you for using Howly.
Could you provide the screenshot of the notification you are getting?
I am not sure of how to take a screen shot as its a new phone
To take a screenshot on your Samsung Android device:
- Open the screen that you want to capture.
- Depending on your phone:
- Press the Power and Volume down buttons at the same time.
- If that doesn’t work, press and hold the Power button for a few seconds. Then tap Screenshot.
still trying
Im sorry. It comes up as a notification and only shows for 1-2 seconds. It says 'Please enable com.google.android.documentsui
Can you click on that notification when it comes up?
No, it doesnt allow key entry
At what step do you see this notification? When you open any specific app or something else?
The software displays a message stating that it needs a specific directory to be selected. when you press OK the screen clears and then displays the notification.
I'm sorry, I should have told you I'm trying to install software called Smart Audiobook player
So this message appears when you try to install this specific App on your Samsung phone?
I have used this software for years and tried to reinstall it when this problen arose.
The sequence of events is the problem came up, I deleted the Book program and tried to reinstall it
Noted. Just to clarify, the error appears when you try to install this one specific App, right?
No, It affects a second app without displaying the notification. This software does not respond tp keyboard input
Both software install ok but the problen arises when trying to change settings
What settings you are trying to change, please?
In the App, you mean?
In the software that displays the notification it states that it needs a root directory to be nominated. when you press ok in preparation to nominating the directory it shows the notification
And all this happens with the app called Smart Audiobook player?
yes
Noted. Just to clarify, any other App works okay on your device, right? Social media, Youtube, anything like this?
yes
*****, please try to follow these steps on your device:
- Open Settings > Apps
- Find the Options button - click on it.
- Choose - Reset app preferences
That seemed to work. Its going to take me a while to check if it affected other apps but at this point I would say you got it right.
I am glad I was able to help, *****!
