I'm trying to download Telegram on this Moto G Play. I did manage to do that but it won't let me have an account. I guess I have to give it a phone number. Well I was able to give it my friend's phone number after I downloaded Telegram to his phone. Now I have an account on his phone which is better than nothing but I want it on my phone. I tried using that code that worked on his to put it on mine. It doesn't work. I tried to get them to send another code with no luck. Right now I have no phone number because it's WiFi only. I tried to get Talkatone but it turns out it runs on google. I have been trying to find something else. There was a text app that turned out to be google only. Then I found Dingtone which might work. It turns out they charge. I don't know why they have to make things this hard.

I'm trying to find a way to consistently get into RDX mode on Samsung devices. If anybody has any ideas please feel free to share them. Thank you so much!

Last night I started getting a problem with the "Finder" (built in app) on my Z Fold 4 Normally, when I would be on a Home Screen, I would swipe up, then my Apps (tray??) would show up with a search bar at the top for finding little used Apps. When I would key in something, the app or apps would show at the top. When I would make the keyboard disappear, I could swipe up to make all of the search suggestions disappear. Now, since last night, this stopped working. Everything remains no matter How I swipe up. It is really frustrating. I will try including a screen shot of the page when I can't swipe up.

So far, I have tried this:
1) Delete cache in Finder App
2) Delete data in Finder App
3) Change most of the settings in Finder App, then change them back to what they were.
4) Delete my Cache Partition.

Nothing got it working like it used to work. The only thing I have not really tried is looking for a broad phone setting that may not be part of the Finder app. Any idea how to fix it to get back what used to happen? Could something global with Android have changed to cause this?

Thanks,

Danny

I don't think there was any question as to whom the Chargers wanted to hire for their next head coach. I'm sure it was a matter of money and talking Jim into leaving his groomed college program at Michigan. I think it's a great hire for the franchise and I expect big things out of the Chargers in the future. No more finding a way to lose for the Chargers in future is my forecast.

Who has the weather icon/display in Maps? I totally forgot it was supposed to be rolling out (since October) and don't have it on my Pixel 7 (Verizon). A friend just called to see what it was, why it just appeared and could it be hidden (no, it apparently can't be), he has a Nord N30 5g (T-Mobile). Not sure I really even want it because Maps is getting way too cluttered but what's up with the huge delay in updates? So, who has it and who doesn't?

I hope that this forum is the correct one to post about this. I use a Motorola smartphone, and have Google Drive installed on it. On my Mac computer (which is an old one), I used to have Google Drive installed, until about two years ago, when my Mac could not support or use the update, because the new version was too far ahead of the computer's capabilities. So, I was compelled to uninstall it from my computer.

However (as I found when I opened Google Drive on my phone), my files remain stored in Google Drive. One file in particular, I wanted to download, but could not do so. Nor could it be opened online, so as to read it. When I looked at the settings for Google Drive app. on my phone, I saw a section that was headed: Allowed > Files and Media. When I clicked on the latter, I saw that the phone has permissions for Media only, not for Files. There is nowhere on my phone, that I can see, that would allow me to give permission to download or open Files (stored in Google Drive).

Can someone tell me what to do to restore full use of Google Drive? It would be a tremendous asset


if I could use its full powers, but at the moment, it is a lame duck.

With thanks in hopeful anticipation,

Samsung Flip 4 model and visual voicemail won't install fully, won't connect to Consumer Cellular (ATT) voicemail. After I install the app, it dials my voicemail and connects but then it won't configure. Ideas?? I've done everything that troubleshooting on the internet suggests.

It doesn't need that heatsink, but it looks kind of cool and should actually be above the unit

Hopefully this will be added to Amazon Prime with no extra fees???

Hi Folks:

I need to browse messages on my phone, Galaxy A14 5G, and copy text from those that interest me to a text file on my PC.

I want to get the messages on my PC which will make selecting those of interest easier.

I started by backing up my entire phone to the PC, something I try to do occasionally.

I've done a little reading, and apparently the messages are in an SQLite database file.

The directory with the backup contains a directory named MESSAGE. It's content is Message.smem, not an SQLite .db file.

So, anyway, that isn't working.

How do I copy the message SQLite database to my PC, or accomplish my task in another way?

Thanks
Larry

I hate the winter season and the cold weather it always brings. Being retired, I have few reasons to venture out. I start to feel like a caged animal. I have the forums, reading, and TV to fill the hours but I need to get out of the house. I look forward to any sort of excuse to leave the house. Grocery shopping is even a desirable chore these days.
Today, the wife and I are meeting another couple at my cabin for brews and BS. It will be a break in the monotonous days that seem endless this time of year.
Do you suffer from cabin fever? Do you have any clever relief suggestions?

This looks pretty good :

Have used Mac since stone age. Android since 8-10 years. "Always" preferred pairing computer and mobile and sending sms/mms from the Mac via the Android. Always worked just fine until 6-8 (?) months ago when each and every sms/mms don't send. The connection between computer and phone seems OK since I get "failed" in the computer and the same in the phone. I have set the options in the phone NOT to send in this new fancy Google format, but as plain sms/mms. To no avail. This drives me bonkers, really. I'm running a business and often need to attach images from the computer to text messages. Now I first have to transfer the images from the Mac to my mobile and then send them.

Have spend umpteen hours/days/weeks trying to find a solution.

I'm usually a pretty laid back fellow and have always learned to adapt to new "techniques", but this idiocy has pushed me over the edge.

Can someone please help? Have I just been daft and missed out something obvious?

Oh, I use Macos 12.7.2 Monterey and Android 13 on a phone RealmeC35. Browsers used to connect to Google Messages - A simple, helpful text messaging app are Firefox and Chrome. All apps, system, etc, are updated.

Gboard has just introduced a new, infuriating "feature" that allows users with a stylus (like Samsung's S Pen) to use handwriting to input text... and Gboard will translate the handwriting and put it in the text field.

Problem is, I type faster than I write: I use the S Pen exhaustively because I can tap, swipe and scroll with surgical precision my fingers don't have. And Gboard has apparently made the handwriting input the DEFAULT if I'm using the S Pen. I now have to select the keyboard EVERY TIME I tap into the text field or Gboard will assume I want to handwrite.

How in the HECK do I disable this crap?! If I can't disable it, I'll find another keyboard app.

UPDATE:

Apparently there is NO WAY to disable it. If I'm using my S Pen to type, Gboard will assume that I really, really want to handwrite. Every time I tap the S Pen in any text field, that kills the keyboard and starts handwriting mode. The only way to get the keyboard back is to tap the field with my finger. Guess what happens if I use the S Pen to move the cursor? Handwriting mode again! Gboard has so slowed my text entry to a crawl with extra work that I left a blistering review; sent them equally blistering feedback; and uninstalled it. As much as I don't like Samsung Keyboard (and I refuse to use Microsoft SwiftKey), there aren't many options for a quality, feature-rich English keyboard.

Yeah I have seem to replaced my p.w. at somewhere on a sticky note, although I just did updated my outlook password thinking I logged in with that, but apparently it is out of the question, so my problem is how can I get out of it? I already did a msconfig when I could see the desktop and disabled most of the programs that automatically took place instead of finding the problem though, so I am just wondering how too get out of "Forgot your password and do not see your account?"
