Hello Friends.....I am new on this forum

The ads have gotten to be so overkill... so I killed them all.

No ads on AF until further notice.

When we add them back, we'll focus more on:

• Non-intrusive affiliate links to recommended products
• A select few thoughtfully placed ads

As we rebrand the site, I'm supremely interested in building a site that I'd want to use myself. And I really, really dislike sites splattered with annoying ads.

If you see annoying or intrusive ads, feel free to complain! I can't promise we'll make changes but I'm certainly listening to all feedback.

How can you identify which photos have been backed up on the Google Photos app?
The Google photos mobile app shows both photos on your phone and photos backed up to Google Photos but it doesn't differentiate

Hi,

Can you guide the sources where one can download android games safely, other than Google Play?

In the OEM Z Fold 4 contacts, I used to be able to change what a phone number would be called, and I think the option might have been "custom", but I can't remember now. For example, if I had a contact entry for "Amazon", and I wanted to add a second number in addition to customer service, and let's say it was an Amazon employee named "Bob", I could change his phone number to be listed as something like "Bob, Customer Service". Now I do not seem to be able to do that. Maybe I noticed it sometime around the last phone update. Has this feature been eliminated, or is there now another way to do it?

I looked at my phone book, and I see that I have some entries where these custom names are still showing. I can edit it, and it says "edit custom field", but I see no option to create a new "custom field"

Thanks,

Danny

In Wikipedia app, when I selected text with my old LG phone, I was seeing a "Translate" option, and clicking that would open Google translate with the translation.

Now, with my new LG, when I select text, there's no "Translate" option.
With different apps, the menu changes. For instance, with Chrome, I see the "Translate" option.

How can I add the "Translate" option for Wikipedia app ? On new and old LG, the app version is the same.

Hello

I have an Samsung A40 that, after my daughter dropped it in water, seem to have a faulty OS. It boots and then gets stuck on the brand screen. I can get it to the root meny, so technically I could fix it with a SDcard I have. Found a firmware that should work. The problem is that the largest file is 4,5Gb. And as Android is only compatiible with Fat32 I can't transfer the file to the SD (Via another phone). Can anyone help me find a firmware that is less than 4Gb?

can someone help? i forgot the password years ago and i cant get in because i keep getting an error message that says "com.android.phone has stopped". i have the firmware, and am in fastboot flash mode but rsd lite wont recognize it :/ help plss

I have an oddly specific requirement for a reminder on my phone. I need an app that creates a reminder prompt at the same time every day and then repeats that reminder every X minutes for Y minutes, a so-called "sub-interval". This is similar to the built-in Windows application, Task Scheduler. Does anything like this exist?

What is everyone's viewpoint on what's happening in the middle east right now?

I'm not Israeli nor Palestinian.
I'm a Polish - American.
All I know is that they've hated each other for years, but why?
Religion?

Could I get help on choosing a tablet as I already have to return one, I obviously spent too little on it:

YQ10S Android Tablet - I like my 2016, generation 7 Kindle Fire HD better than the YQ.

So now I'm thinking about a Samsung, but not the S9 as I don't draw at all so why get that. I mainly want the Tablet to replace my 17" screen HP Laptop which is basically backup for my desktop HP Gaming PC, which I rarely use for gaming. Something I can do all my business on easier than my Moto One 5g Ace which is too small for a lot of things, for me anyway.

I do not like Apple/Mac/Iphone anything, been using Android and Windows PCs much too long to change now.

Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I would go up to 4 or 500, and less wouldn't hurt my feelings either Denise
