Halloween was always my favorite holiday... especially when I was young. I never was a big candy eater but the adventure of being out after dark dressed had a particular calling. Walking the neighborhood with friends and finding the houses that had the candied apples or popcorn balls was a mission. I was always a bum wearing old ripped up jeans and one of my father's old flannel shits. A burnt cork rubbed on my face for makeup. It was good times.

I tried to make the holiday special for my children as well. I went with them when they were little and I dressed up too. When they were old enough to make it on their own, I still dressed up and handed out the candy at my house. It was a far more innocent time when I was a child but still a safe world for my children. As the years went on there were fewer children at my door. So few that the last decade or so I've thrown a Halloween party at the cabin and wasn't even home to hand out the goodies. This year I plan to be home. I'm guessing zero tricksters. I bought candy just in case and I hope I'm wrong about no little guys at my door.

Is Halloween a thing of the past at your corner of the world? Do you have any special plans for holiday? Any special Halloween memories you want to share.

Yes, it's the 2021 model. I have looked all over for it. I have read the manual, used the camera's own help, etc. Where could night mode be?

After leaving my phone charging in the other room, i kept having to go and relock the phone because it would unlock and the youtube shorts would play and make noise.

Why does my phone keep unlocking without me touching it?

I felt like this has been happening frequently in my pocket by accident, but until today i didnt realize how often it unlocks without the chance of me hitting the unlock button.

My phone has no pin protection but it does have accidental touch enabled. Any help would be appreciated as this is somewhat annoying. Thanks!

Je suis arrivé sur cet écran dans les options pour développeur il y avait quelque chose à 752 sans faire exprès je l'ai mis à un et d'un coup ma tablette s'est mis à buggé et ça met cet écran et si j'essaie de la rétendre ça refait ça à l'infini

I just updated from s10e, where I was using the Nova 7 launcher to make Home page grid adjustments, including the display of the home page dock icons



With s23 I'm using the Good Lock launcher, but if there is a setting to adjust the dock area, I can't find it. I need to increase their size.



How can i get this done? I haven't tried Nova 7 yet. I wasn't totally pleased with the way it behaved with the s10e, but I'm suspect that was at least partially due to the lack of it's OS compatibility & capabilities?

Is there a simple way to get this done?

Hi, I just copied something to the clipboard but I can't find it. I figured it would be under settings. I guess it isn't. Please help me find it.

Hi, I'm on a Motorola g14 w/ Android 13 and need to deactivate Dolby Atmos completely.

If I just switch it off it returns active every time I connect my bt headphones. Which is very annoing.

Is it possible to simply deactivate Dolby Atmos for ever?

Thanks!

Is it possible to set a fingerprint password for the secure folder only without a pin? I keep getting asked for fingerprint or pin. I just want fingerprint for that folder only.
If I can, will some kind person talk me through it. My phone is Samsung A52s.
Thanks

Hi all. I made a free android app, where I try to collect some great designer limited free / discounted watch faces for wear os.
App in play store: Watch Face Deals

Game 1 of the World Series between the Texas Rangers And the Arizona Diamondbacks is Friday. The teams were the least likely to make the series. It should be an interesting series and I hope entertaining.
Does anyone have a dog in this fight? I need a team to root for.

I have an S23 and a Samsung Watch 5. I can put my phone on silence so it doesn't ring when I get a call, BUT I can't figure out how to turn off phone call notifications to my watch. Even if I have the phone on silent, the watch will still ring when I get a call. I have tried several different settings but none of them fix this issue. How can I turn off phone call notifications to my watch?
Thanks

I need help with my phone. It has LineageOS installed and is rooted with Magisk. The recovery mode is TWRP. Lately, my phone restarts automatically when I play games or watch videos. What is the cause of this problem and how can I fix it? I have been using this custom ROM for more than seven months without any issues. This problem only started recently. Browsing normally is fine, but playing videos makes it restart repeatedly. I have two modules installed: bootloop protector and Revanced module. I also tried AOSP ROM and reset my device three times, but the problem persists.

1. Manufacturer - Google
2. Model - Pixe 6 Pro
3. Software version - 14
4. Specifics of the problem - Camera app not using zoom lens for video
5. Not rooted

Since auto update to v. 14 the video in camera app will not go past 7X, which is the limit for zoom with the standard lens I believe. This give a badly focused and fuzzy result
Before update it would auto-switch to the telephoto lens, which could zoom in to about 20X

The photos part of the app still zooms to 20X so seems not to be a hardware problem.

Is there any way to get the old camera app back or a decent alternative to install?

Please let me know as the camera is the main reason I bought the phone and it is making me crazy.

Cheers

In light mode I have no problems because everything is correct but in dark mode without making any changes the text remains dark. Is it an Android bug? I have tried various methods but my problem is that I have to disable some menu options and then I lose the color in disabled mode, it always seems enabled. Is it just my problem? In this way the text is illegible I use this theme: Theme.MaterialComponents.DayNight.DarkActionBar

If I have more than one app open, maybe chrome and settings, then while browsing with Chrome, it splits and there is settings as well
Thanks guys

Any idea why it does that? I am not clicking and adding tabs, They are all junk tab, adds and weird stuff.

My wife has a Samsung Note 10+. She decided to change her case & went on Amazon & purchased a Love Me case. Looked good, had screws to put case together, no screen cover, but I figured I would get separate temper glass screen protector. Case came in & I installed phone into case. Strange thing, once I had case on, a notice on the screen came up offering to change my OS system!? WTF. Any comments or thoughts about this? Have I invited the CCP into our life? I did not choose to change, but if this is some micro tech in the case, I'm hard press to believe a chose was an option.

Noticed a new "Achievements" feature on Instagram today: anyone else seen this or tried it?


I'm not huge on leaderboard kinda things, but I have to admit, I do find it fun to follow along even casually. I have posted a few photos to Google Maps over the years and I always find it amusing how many views I pile up whenever I get the automated emails.

That's what it says on the Pure's pulldown screen. There is nothing attached to it except sometimes a charger and that hasn't worked out well. Are these two problems somehow related? How do I charge this awful thing?

hi i have moto edge 40 pro , where is no wifi calling to turn on , is it normal what i cant you wifi calling ?

I dont have wifi at my new place yet so I have been using my verizon S21+ mobile hot spot to connect my xbox to the internet. I have also used a USB-C ethernet adapater and connected the phones connection directly to the xbox. Both options give me 2mbps download and 120-130 latency. It seems crazy that I am getting speeds lower than 3G.

Is there anything I can do to improve this performance? Would I see any improvement if I connected my laptop to the mobile hotspot and connected the laptop to the xbox via ethernet. After making those connections I would share the hotspot network with the ethernet adapters network connection on my laptop.
