How to disable Digital Wellbeing on Redmi Note 9?


1 I disabled daily device usage within the app

2 I went to Settings>Apps>Special App Access>Usage Access, and turned off Digital Wellbeing's usage access.

Then, I opened Hidden Settings for MIUI or System App Remover apps (both are basically the same) but they Disable button is greyed out.

Hi I'm not very good on my phone and I need to back up some files, including 8000 or so recorded calls, which I must not lose. It's a Huawei 20x 5G. It is absolutely stuffed full of really important stuff including the phone calls which I cannot lose, but if I try to back up to Google Drive it will only let me back up 40 or so at a time and it takes hours upon hours. I have in the past managed to put things onto a USB pendrive but the USB port is dodgy and it doesn't always transfer over. If the port breaks then I can't do anything at all obviously as I can't charge it. what is going to be the easiest quickest way for me to get copies of all this stuff? I'm terrified of doing something wrong trying to sort it ! Sorry to sound so totally daft.

Anyone using a Galaxy S24U?

My Samsung S22 Ultra has all of a sudden stopped recognizing the period (.) in voice typing. It used to be that you can just say "period" and it would put the period punctuation mark in there. Now it just types out the whole word "period" instead. Other punctuations are unaffected, such as comma, exclamation point, or question mark, even colon ) is still working! But the most common one, period, is not working? Just started happening a couple of days ago. Anyone else notice that? I use the voice typing quite a bit here.

I've also tried switching the keyboard, from Google Gboard to Samsung keyboard but no difference.

Is there a way to have Google assistant use Firefox by default? What about Bixby?

Or is there another voice activated assistant type app that can do similar to what Google assistant does?

I was advised about a year ago that I had a cataract that should be removed. At the time it seemed that waiting until the mowing season was over would give me plenty of time to have the surgery and recover without interrupting my daily tasks. I had a heart attack last fall that put everything on hold. I don't know if the cataract seems worse because I'm in the sun so much or if it is aggressively growing but for whatever reason, the vision in the cataract eye has substantially deteriorated to the point that I need to do something about it. I have all kinds of questions that I hope someone here can answer.
Anyone here been though cataract surgery? Were you happy with the results? How much down time? Did you start with your optometrist or start by shopping your local options for the surgery? Did you have any financial help.. Medicare? Supplement? ... and on and on. I thank you in advance.

Google has added so much crap to where you type a message on Google Messages it's hard to type or read a message you are typing due to a lack of space. This is really stupid. The space between smile face and the picture icon is all the space you get for your typing message. A long word or a couple of words and it scrolls down

I recently discovered that the Nova Launcher disables app badges unless upgraded to the premium version.

Is there any way to deal with this besides removing the app. What would be the best alternative launcher?

Just read silver is now over $30 an ounce

This is scary to know....

Hi Guys,

Yesterday I published the Amiibo Vault Android application for Amiibo collectors or gaming fans. The app is non-profit without ads, I just want to help other fans like me to get details, compatibility, and other info about Amiibo figures or cards. You can also scan your amiibo directly with the app and get all the info that you need to improve your gameplay. Hopefully, you can find it useful for your needs. Please leave any feedback to help me to improve the app. Thank you very much.

You can download it here:

Next weekend is the holiday that most everyone considers the kick start for the summer. When I was growing up, we spent ever Memorial weekend in Oklahoma where both of my parents were born and raised. We decorated graves in the many surrounding cemeteries and enjoyed seeing all of the family that lived in the area. Nobody lives there anymore and it's been a number of years since I last decorated graves there. I will spend the weekend decorating local and will likely party at the cabin with friends.

I hope that you have plans to spend some quality time with friends and family. If you travel, please be safe. It's a great weekend to do some grilling outside so I hope you have some great meals planned.

Though we enjoy the time off and early summer fun with friends and family, it's best that we don't forget the reason we observe the "holiday". It is a day to morn and honor the loss of those that gave their lives so that we might enjoy the freedoms of this great nation. Showing respect for veterans should be 24/7/365. Please take the time to thank all veterans for their service.

Hi

I am having trouble with getting a message notification sound on my Samsung S23 Ultra.

The weirdest thing is that when I choose a notification sound in Settings/Sounds and Vibrations/Notification Sounds is that I cant hear the sound I choose in there when I select it ? However In the ringtone setting I can here the sound when selected ?

Yes I have checked DND, turned the volume up in notification settings, and in the volume settings.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide :]

My wife recently had to send her Samsung A41 in for repair (don't ask!!) so she reverted back to her earlier J5. This all worked, no problem, but after putting the SIM back into the repaired A41 she's hit a problem with Whatsapp verification. It keeps reporting that it isn't able to send the SMS verification code, even though it's showing the correct phone number. It says to wait for 59 minutes but this just keeps repeating ad infinitum. This procedure worked when she first went back to the J5 but now doesn't. The SMS is working okay, we've exchanged messages.

In desperation we've tried uninstalling Whatsapp and downloading and installing a new copy from Play Store. This accepted the telephone number but then came up with the same error. To make matters worse there is now no Whatsapp icon on the desktop. It is installed since it appears in the list of Apps in Settings and there's a button to open it from there but when she does this it still comes up with the same error. In the verification box the buttons for resending the code and requesting a phone contact from Whatsapp are greyed out.

From searches she's done online it appears that this is a fairly common problem but so far we've not found any ways to resolve it. If anyone here has experienenced this problem and found a solution we'd be very grateful to know about it.

Currently I just reseted my cell a great old fashion FDR a spell ago, now my bar graph on the non carrier data, has been shot over 100%

meanwhile my data, regular old data - of the wifi and mobile data- the graph drops down to nothing from the highest peak in the start up of May.

I know it is a bit confusing. Here are my screen shots I am talking about, all my mobile data on each app is switched off. How to make this drop down to Zero or at least half?

How in definitive way to get Android 9, and below, saved wifi password corresponded by its data values eg. SSID name, etc ?

Last week I drove down to Tennessee. I had to stop driving before Tennessee due to severe weather, and I got a hotel room. I have one credit card that I use for hotel rooms. Today I went to pay that credit card online and I also noted a $3.79 charge from Amazon Prime 888-802-3080. I don't have Amazon Prime. I googled that phone number and got this:

"....Some of them have 888-802-3080 listed in the transaction.. This is a large scale international fraud. When you call that number they pretend its Amazon and even send you a follow up email using Amazon template. According to Amazon Support this is not an Amazon number and they don't have any records of these transactions.May 20, 2023..."

I called the bank and reported the fraud. Since this has been going on for over a year I'm surprised the bank doesn't have a stop in place for the phone number, 888-802-3080 on a transaction.

Today is the day set aside to honor our mother for being that super special person in our life. It should be a daily observance and emphasized on the second Sunday of May. Mothers are precious! I lost my mother when I was in my early twenties and I still suffer the gravity of that loss. I'm sure your mother was or is a very special person in your life as well. Take the time today to remember and honor her. Happy Mother's Day!

I understand that some of the Northern part of Kansas is being treated to a visual exposure to the Northern Lights. Friends in the KC area shared some pictures they captured Friday night. I've always wanted to see the lights and they media spoke like it was possible that the lights would be visible using a long exposure camera capture in the Southern part of the state tonight. I went out and took a few shots of the sky... no luck. Maybe if I was North of Wichita instead of South I would have a darker sky and a better chance of a picture. I did see some very cool pictures posted on another forum and thought we should have a place to share some pics too. If you are lucky enough to get a few shots, pleas post them here. I really would love to see them. The lights fascinate me!

i buyed a S22+ a year ago and i want to sell him and buy a new samsung S phone, i was thinking in a S23 Ultra, any suggestions?
