Google Clock Alarm Off/Snooze Behaviour

I want to ask if anyone else is seeing an odd behaviour with the standard Google clock app alarm, regarding the Off & Snooze buttons when the alarm is triggered. I'm still running a Galaxy S10+ these days, am satisfied with it until I find an offer I can't refuse to upgrade.

I've noticed the functionality of the buttons keeps switching back and forth every few months from a slider to push buttons. Since two days ago, the alarm shutoff screen is a slider - slide right Off and slide left Snooze. But for the past 3 months it had been two distinct push buttons - Snooze on the left and Off on the right, with the action being a touch of either button.

Have seen it happen over and over several times in the past 3 years, and am curious whether it's tied to periodic updates or some feature that I'm not aware of; there is no setting that manages this behaviour. While the main function of the buttons isn't impaired, it's odd to wake up groggily trying to figure out if I should touch the Off button or slide the center button to turn Off. Only once had it impacted me, when it was in slider mode and I accidentally turned it on Snooze instead of Off, getting surprised a few minutes later while getting dressed and suddenly the alarm rings out again.

can android backup restore undo phone Reset?

I Reset my phone (as advised by OnePlus support). Not only didn't it fix my problem, now I have some two digit number of hours of work re-setting up my phone to do.

I would've preferred not to have Reset my phone and just lived with the significant issue. Is there a way to Restore yesterday's Google backup of the phone to make it exactly like it was yesterday, so I don't have many hours of re-setting up to do?

If not, the phone is already going to take so much work to become usable again, I wonder how much more work going to a full factory reset would be.

Incidentally, the issue the issue is that I don't get Notifications on my Gmail account's messages. I was up until two days ago when I started using a different Gmail account, and set up to get notifications of a 2nd Gmail account. But the result was that I got no notifications of emails to either. The phone reset restored notifications of messages to my old email account, but not to the one I'd now switched to and thus primarily want notifications for.

NHL 2024 playoffs

so seeing as there are no Hockey forums here or even just a general sports forum, i am posting a hockey thread here in the NFL forums. mods move this to wherever you guys like,

anybody here watching the playoffs?

i am a HUGE Kings fan. been a diehard since Gretzky came to play here in L.A.. i am glad that we came back from losing 7-4 to the Edmonton Oilers in game 1 to win game 2 5-4 in OT. i know my boys can score, but our D and goalie needs to step up better. we have played the Oilers in the 1st round the past 2 years and lost to them each time. i hope 3rd time is the charm as they say. i can't wait for them to play tomorrow, friday. it should be a fun game to watch.

who is your team? how are they doing?

Meals That You Hated

I saw this thread on another forum and thought it interesting. What food or meal was you served while growing up that you hated and have not and will not eat as an adult?

We had very basic meals when I was growing up and wasn't served anything that I hated. I find that I'm not the normal guy. :)
Many of the items posted were items that I like and even crave at times.

I'd love to hear about the foods that turned you off and you now avoid.

Split Screen Function gone after update

I am using a Samsung Z Fold 4 and used to use the split screen function a lot. I went through the recent update, like, say yesterday or maybe the day before. I tried to sweep from the left side of the screen to the right as always to resize the app so that it becomes narrow and goes to the right side, allowing another app to run on the left half. That no longer works even though I tried playing with a bunch of settings. Did anyone else lose this? Does anyone know how to fix it?

Anyone with Google Play Family Library experience

Before trying to do things that might be impossible or comes with a price, or have many 'cons', I'd like to ask if anyone here has experience with "Google Play Family Library".
Use Google Play Family Library - Google One Help

Background: I have a paid app that I do not use anymore, but would like to install on my wife's smartphone. Transfer of apps is not possible.

A workaround seems to be to install the Google Play app and then to 'Sign up for Family Library'... (?)

Probably I also need to install the Google Play app on my wife's smartphone?
(BTW she does not have a Google One account, just a basic account)
Are there any drawbacks?
Is it easy to share an app?
Pop-ups asking to do this, do that, suggest so-and-so?

thanks!

RapidApi app, ussage and alternatives.

Now we made a Rapidapi android store statistics api (no need for further promotion, you find it.).
And we did all this without any further research, as per usual.
Now our api is almost top dog on the seach term playstore and is not having a lot of visitors.

Is anybody here using RapidApi? is there any intrest in Apis ? for example in android apps?
Is anybody hosting apis on Rapidapi or on an alternative api market place that is much better?

Do you use apis as a programmer you do you rather develop your data gathering tools in house?

Vegan Hot Dogs

I'm not vegan or vegetarian, but I'll try their food from time to time. I saw these Better Dogs and decided to try them. I've tried other vegan hot dogs in the past and none of them were very good. These Better Dogs are made in Spain and their main ingredient is peas. I cooked a couple of them in a pan and I was shocked that they tasted like a regular hot dog. I'm impressed

AAA

I'm considering joining AAA and thought I would ask if anyone has the service and or have an opinion on the service?

I have two motives for wanting / needing a service such as AAA. First and utmost, my wife and daughter are planning on traveling to Arizona this summer by auto. It concerns me that I'll be of zero help if they should have any auto problem on their trip. I certainly don't anticipate a problem but they are beyond precious to me. It seems that a road service plan would be good insurance and give me some peace of mind. Secondly I ride an expensive bicycle that I can't repair a flat away from home or push the bike miles to get it home. I'm not the sort that trusts leaving two and a half grand parked on the road as I walk miles to get home, put my bike rack on my truck, and go get my bike if it should still be there. AAA has bike tow service with their plans.

One of my buddies suggest AAA to solve my problems. He has the service and says it's genuine and has proven to be a value to him. I would appreciate and respect the opinions of my friends here. Thanks in advance.
