Last night a light stopped working. After investigating I discovered a circuit breaker not headed in the right direction. I tried to reset it but it's being stubborn.

Are there any Telegram users on here? It turns out that it's possible to have it save to sd instead of internal but it claims to be slower. I made the switch but I'm not noticing any difference as far as internal space saved.

I've been following my normal college basketball teams. The warm up tourneys and games are over and the games are now conference games. Today was a rough day for the teams I root for.
Kansas lost to Central Florida, Kansas State lost to Brigham Young, and Wichita State lost to Charlotte. A sorry way to start the new year!

My friend's new phone, yes, a Samsung, is missing something. At first I didn't know what he meant because he doesn't use most features, just calling and receiving and youtube, really. He doesn't usually text and almost never bothers with the camera. Finally I found out what he meant: no porn. He took it to the place he bought it but I guess all they can do is wipe it completely, for a price. He's offering me a little less to "fix" it. If I were him I'd be more interested in replacing missing contacts. By the way, I could do that IF the previous phone were available.

Philanthropist Morris Kahn has died, presumably from old age, at 95. A creative guy with lots of money, in his later years he focused on philanthropy particularly in the fields of science and medicine.

RIP, Mr. Kahn, with thanks for all you tried to do. Condolences to your friends, family and loved ones.

This doesn't always happen, but when it does it's annoying. I might be trying to use the camera when a message appears that system ui is not responding. At first I hoped that if I waited it would turn out ok, but now I just close the app. When I go to camera again, the phone acts as if it's been rebooted.

Hoping for a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year for all!

Hi everyone!

My goal was to build fun.

For us all the have fun, laugh while simultaneously enjoying a deep game with an arcade experience.

Hopefully, I think I've accomplished that goal!

To move on to production, google requires play testing.

I need a dozen or more android specific testers.

No money involved, but you get to enjoy the game first and also get your tag, name or whatever you want added to the credits!

Just send me your email adress privately, or publicly if you want, so that google can allow you access.

Only give feedback if you want, however the app has to be installed 14 days for successful testing. Thanks everyone!

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and got close to what they wanted ...

me ? We are poor people, I am glad to have my wife and what health I do own ....

(Also got lots of cool gifts !)

Before my cell phone had an adverse reaction to an app, an app which has now been removed, Caller ID was announced. Now I cannot get it to work. Have been through the menus without success.

Anyone here know how to have Caller ID be announced on Android 14, and not have ads?

EDIT/ADDITION: I just added a painful miserable experience with TalkBack turned on. It was torture. Finally able to turn it off.

Hey guys, I just updated my Galaxy XCover6 Pro to One UI 8.0 (Android 16) and I’m having two super annoying issues. Is anyone else seeing this?

1. Notification Menu: The swipe down from the top is basically broken. It doesn't respond to the first 2 or 3 swipes. I have to lock/unlock the screen and press really hard at the top to get it to work. It used to be super smooth before the update.
2. Gallery App: When I try to see a photo's location on the map, it just shows a blank screen. It’s like the app has no internet access even though everything else is working fine.

I’ve already tried clearing the cache and checking permissions but nothing works. Is this a known bug in this build (G736U1UESAGYL1)? Any tips on how to fix this?

For years, the Home Screen had my favorite apps as a single icon. After installing a QR Reader from the Play Store, many bizarre terrible changes occurred.

1. The dot array on the lower screen is gone. There used to be 5 or 6 dots which highlighted as one slides from right to left looking at individual app icons. Now no dots and there's only three screen as described below.
2. Home Screen has grouped icons, but is mostly blank
3. Search bar is low, not at the top
4. Tapping in the SEARCH brings me to a place to install a gambling app. To get out of this screen, must tap the back arrow twice.
5. The "dock" has changed. Used to have five of my favorite apps, but now has only two of my favs, and also the new appearance of
• an icon of nine dots, which when tapped, displays icons of all available apps as single icons.
• new appearance of Chrome
• a small square which when tapped opens to Chrome and another browser which looks like Saturn and is named "Inte ..."
• a blank space
• new appearance of the standard camera app icon
6. Swiping to the right leads to a bizarre screen... a square icon of the location and weathers square icon of the day and date, a list of popular games, a header of "Articles for you" and swiping upward indeed has many articles, a standard looking search bar at the top but when tapping in the search field it goes to a screen wanting an installation of Billionaire Casino and the keyboard pops up and a flashing cursor appears in the search bar. Cannot swipe again to the left.
7. Swipe to the left from the Home Screen shows grouped icons and cannot swipe left again. Swiping downward goes to a screen asking to install Billionaire Casino.

Ran Malwarebytes and nothing abnormal was found. Free AVG ----> nothing relevant.

HELP! What to do?

Android File Transfer no longer works on my MacBookPro. Which Mac app will reveal the folders (contacts, messages, photos, etc.) ?

Thanks

• Have a back up moto cell or any of your name brand, such as google pixle, and other devices:

Otherwise you will spend an enterinty headache if you did that vice versa, like for a samsung no good:

Here is what I asked my copliot since I have attempted this just now:

Absolutely, Stewie — here’s the clean, efficient, no‑nonsense setup ritual that cuts your Moto Edge setup time in half.
This is the order that keeps Android from fighting you, keeps bloat from reinstalling, and keeps your accounts syncing smoothly.


I’ll keep it tight, clear, and in the right sequence so you don’t waste a minute.

---

​

(This is the “do this first, then this” list you asked for.)

1. Prep the older Moto phone​

Do this before resetting the Moto Edge.

• Turn it on
• Connect to Wi‑Fi
• Make sure all your Gmail accounts are signed in
• Make sure Backup is ON
  • Settings → System → Backup → Backup by Google One
• Leave it unlocked and awake

This ensures the Edge can “see” it during setup.

---

2. Factory reset the Moto Edge 2022​

• Settings → System → Reset options → Erase all data
• Let it reboot
• Don’t sign into anything yet

---

3. Connect to Wi‑Fi​

This unlocks the restore options.

---

4. When it asks “Copy apps & data?” choose YES​

This is the fork in the road.
If you skip this, you lose the multi‑account restore.

---

5. Choose “A backup from an Android device”​

This is the magic option that pulls all your Gmail accounts back.

---

6. Select your older Moto phone​

It should appear automatically if it’s:

• On
• Unlocked
• Connected to Wi‑Fi
• Backed up

Pick the most recent backup.

---

7. Let the restore finish BEFORE opening Gmail​

This prevents the slow, choking sync you experienced earlier.

---

8. Disable bloatware BEFORE opening the Play Store​

This stops junk apps from updating themselves.


Go to:

• Settings → Apps → See all apps
• Disable anything you don’t want
• Do this before Play Store updates them

This saves a ton of time.

---

9. Turn off auto‑restore for apps you don’t want​

Play Store → Profile icon → Settings → General → Auto-update apps → Turn off
This keeps your phone clean.

---

10. Customize your launcher and home screen last​

Once the system is stable and quiet, then:

• Set wallpaper
• Arrange icons
• Adjust gestures
• Tune notifications
• Add widgets

Doing this last prevents your layout from shifting while apps install.

---

​

Because you’re not fighting:

• Background sync
• App updates
• Bloat reinstalling
• Gmail choking
• Duplicate downloads
• System lag

You’re doing everything in the order Android actually cooperates with.

---

This is what I feel it needs to be posted up for those who are trying to stumbled across just a 20 minute version because you cannot wait that long for a text or call, sheesh, why not email them on your mind using a voice note?

Hello Folks:

My replaced my refurbished Galaxy A14 with a refurbished A15. OLED is an obvious improvement.

Quite a few things work differently. I've looked around Samsung's site for a user's manual, haven't found one yet.

One difference I find annoying is this block of text that pops up when I plug the USB cable into the phone:

Connected for charging only.
Tap the USB notification to use
USB for transferring file.

Where is this USB notification I'm supposed to push?

I've searched this site and Youtube for "Connected for charging only." and found nothing.

Thanks
Larry

I drive older cars with no connectivity. Until recently I played my toonz through an iPod Classic via an FM transmitter which suited me fine. The iPod became unresponsive and I accidentally factory reset it, and since Apple don't support it any more I can't configure/operate it via the iMac.

I'm hoping someone can suggest a means of getting the music copied to my Samsung S10+. The tracks are on an external drive connected to my iMac, and accessed through the Apple Music App which I understand replaced iTunes. Having searched for Android music players and viewed a few YouTube videos, there seem to be few which can deal with a Mac, and reviews are not universally reassuring.

I can't be the first to face this inconvenience, and hope for some helpful suggestions.

Many Thanks and if you're observing - season's greetings.

Hello dear community,

i would like to introduce you to my latest game. A mouse has to collect cheese and water without getting caught by the cat. Some objects can be moved, others cannot.


Cheese Move - Apps on Google Play

have fun

PReviously I did a thing called Walktober, but this time around it is a special program with throughout the university:
I get the log in the web site: Here is my progress:

^ Total steps yay, I cheated and when I factory reset my app, it did not show up on the steps though, but approximentally it is about ballpark pretty much about 180,000 steps.


Also with that in mind I do get these amazing Winter Scene:





So for each log I do it paints a sence with the missing peices, it is okay for the time being too. But this is what I am doing for my health.

We are closing in on yet another Christmas. It doesn't seem at all possible that the holiday is nearly here. I'm not all humbug this year but I haven't really embraced the season for it is arriving way too fast. I hope everyone has an enjoyable holiday season and get to share some time with friends and family. Hugs to all.

Somehow my notifications on my screen goes to bubble to line, I want the line ones, instead of floating clock syndrome hahaaa..
IT goes down every time I get a notification, which gets so horribly distracting, so I'm just wondering if there's a way ,to make it just bars across my home screen.

Notification had an icon which when displayed said system trace was running on Galaxy J2. I don't want a system trace and did not knowingly initiate it. How do I delete the trace from the phone's storage and how do I prevent it from doing a trace again?

I remember someone talking about kidney stones in the past but I couldn't find the thread. I spent three hours in ER last night with my wife in excoriating pain. She was diagnosed having a kidney stone a few years ago but was advised it was unlikely to move. WRONG! My wife's body is trying to rid itself of the stone and has been making her sick the last few days. Early this morning, not only was she sick to her stomach, she was in intense pain. They confirmed it was caused by the stone and administered some pain meds. She could have been admitted but instead was sent home with some prescribed pain meds and a specialist contact information to contact Monday. She was advised that the stone is too large for her to pass without assistance. She is resting well now... thankfully.

Kidney stones are not that uncommon and often cause a lot of pain. My only experience with kidney stones was with my father and his brother. My father spent a night in the hospital when I was a kid while passing a stone. His brother was in such pain with a stone that my father and I carried him to a car and then into the hospital. An now my wife who gave natural birth to four children doubled up in pain. As an outsider looking in, a kidney stone is nothing I care to experience!

Any kidney stone stories to share? I hope nobody has suffered from one but I'm guess we have not been that lucky.

My friend had a problem with his phone. Now he has a new one but with none of the old contacts. How can he get them back? I figure since cricket is as nosy as the rest of them they probably have that stored somehow, and a whole lot more.

Looking for one, since my sister and mother group texts me all the time, and my next sms does not have that feature, so my question is, anyone have any app that suits the needs?
