I'm trying to get a Telegram account on this phone. I already have one but because of the crazy way they do things I have to get a code sent to another phone and type that into the one where I want it. I borrowed a friend's phone and tried to get it that way. It didn't work and sms didn't either. It also said that if I waited a little while I could ask for an actual phone call. I did that but still no luck. Is there some other way?

Major Supreme Court opinions are coming today 6/20/2024 dealing with

2. Obstruction charges forJanuary 6 defendants
3. Emergency Abortion care
4. Gun Rights for Domestic Abusers

Google announced the June 2024 Pixel update would be available starting June 11th. People with T-Mobile and Verizon have not received the update. No reason for the delay has been confirmed, other than people saying the carriers are holding it up.

I did read a thread where a couple of people said the update killed the dark mode on the phone, even when they turned it back on.

I'm now considering buying a Samsung A25.
If I use the 256Gb internal memory, can I copy the contents of my SD card to the internal memory?
Thing like a calendar data backup, folder with mp3s, photos.
I'm hoping the phone comes with a data cable? If so, can I upload from my PC into the phone?

Has anyone who has used or owned a Samsung Z Fold used or bought a Google Pixel Fold? While I loved my Z Fold 4 and now my Z Fold 5, I think that one shortcoming of the Z Fold is the narrow folded size. Someone who uses the phone folded as mostly a phone might not agree. I mostly use my Z Folds as a mini computer. The Pixel is a bit wider folded. I have never had any experience with any Google Pixel.

Happy father's day to all the dads out there. I was blessed with four children that ultimately made my life worth living. I haven't any big plans for the holiday. I'm smoking out a rack of ribs and just hanging out. I'll probably get a bike ride in early with anticipation of seeing the kids drop by for a bit in the afternoon. Life is good. I hope that you get to spend some quality time with your children tomorrow on your special day.

Hello,

I have a 5GB monthly Internet data plan with my cellphone network provider. I never use it all: January 1608MB, February 760MB, March 750MB, April 3615MB, May 800MB.

But we're only half of June, and I just got a text message warning that I'm over 4GB 😒

In Settings, it says that 3,47GB were downloaded in the Backround.

FWIW, I use USB Tethering daily to sync a personal information manager between the phone and Windows, and always connect to my modem's wifi hotspot at home before downloading updates from Google Play.

Is there a way to investigate if there's a rogue/virus app lurking?

Thanks for any help.

I'm considering getting a flash drive & using it to manually back up my new phone(Pixel8).

I have 2 big questions.

1) Can I have multiple backups on a single flash drive or must I use another flash drive each time that I want to back up my phone?

2) Can I view the files on my Mac without any software or must I install some software in order to view the files?

Hello, experts. I don't think it matters that the smartphone I use is a Motorola — my question is a general one. I use my phone as a router when I am on the computer (it's "tethered" to my phone). I found, recently, that though I did do some downloading recently, the amount of data used for this, and shown on my phone, was far in excess of what I would have thought. After all, when I used "proper" Internet Service providers, there was one provider that allowed only 5GB of downloading before extra charges were incurred and, in the two or three years that I was with them, it was only very occasionally (about twice, in total) when I had to pay for an extra allowance, so normally, my demand was about five GB. In those days, I did much more downloading than I need to do now.

So, to discover that (supposedly), I had used over five GB in ten days, using my phone as a router, came as a shock (also, I was quite sceptical).

It was then that I began to think about turning Data Saver on, on my phone, when I was not using the computer. This was yesterday.

So, my question is: does Data Saver save a great deal of data being used needlessly? I mean, if it is only background traffic that it prevents, that cannot be much, can it? If the answer to that is "No, it can't", I shall have aa need to constantly watch how much data has been used, at the end of every day. When I took out this contract (with 3UK), I thought that my allowance of 30 GB would be far, far in excess of my needs. It would seem that it is not, even though I can't understand why.

With thanks in hopes of a helpful reply (or two, or three).
S.

it says that though the front screen will be bigger, the foldout screen will be the same size as the fold 5. how is that possible? plus i am ok with the corner, but i would still prefer the rounded edges.

and looks like it still has no s-pen slot......booooooo!!!!!!!

Hi all,

These are the specs of my old phone and as you can see it uses a "Mini-SIM" Card

I need to buy a new phone and all of the new phones use a "Nano-SIM" card.

How can I take my old SIM card to the new phone without destroying the SIM card? Is it possible for the data on the old phone's SIM card to be kept intact?

I know e-SIM cards are available but that may not be an option for me. 😢 😢 😢

Thanks for any help!!!

I accidentally took a few videos in slow motion on my Pixel 8 Pro. I can play them in normal speed by moving the sliders to one end but if I copy the videos to my PC they play in slo-mo which is not enjoyable since the PC video players I've tried can't alter the speed to normal like the built in one on the phone. Besides the action and sound being slow, the video is all blocky.
Is there some way I can alter the original video so that I can save it as if it were recorded in normal speed and so it plays on a PC in normal speed?

This is what I get








It's the Verizon app



I have the Nova launcher. Could that be responsible? I know it prevents app badges in the non premium version.

The Moto G Play's SD card tray is stuck, and I mean tight. It almost seems glued in there. The phone was not working for a while, not even charging, and I wanted to get the SD out of it. I tried that weird paper clip thing. Then I got some distilled water on a clothy paper towel. After that it was sticky tape. I eventually used a little WD40. Now the phone is charging, up to 54% after hours and hours, with a new charge cord, but the tray is still stuck and the SD is not showing.

I've read this upcoming movie with Nicolas Cage is going to be great.
He's playing the villain...
Anyone else have anything to say about it?

This will sound weird. I have a Galaxy S24U that works well with my Pixel watch 2, except for one problem. My phone's temperature readout is in Fahrenheit, but my watch reads out in centigrade. Crazy right, but i need the watch to be in fahrenheit. Anyone have a solution? I'm open to any ideas. Thanks.🤔

Spice it up in here! Where has all the controversy gone? Do BETTER. You disappoint me!

Is there a Samsung Galaxy with 2 sims and SD Card that's not too expensive?

I was really keen on the A25, then a eventually realised it has either 2 sims OR 1 sim and an SD card, but not all three options.
I have trouble following the specs clearly, as some say 'Nano', some say '2 sims one tray' but I can't work out in clear English what I want.

I'm in Thailand and the price of the A25 is about 6,500 Baht (about US$200 I think)
Is there a new-ish model with 2 sims & an SD card?

On my Z Fold 4, when I initially start the phone, I could touch the power button (sensing my fingerprint) to get to where I could input my password and start the phone. On my Z Fold 5, even though it is set up similarly, it will not do this (I do have fingerprints set up). I have to swipe the screen to be able to get to input my password. Has the feature as described on the 4 been eliminated in the 5?
