Testing testing 123

I have an S10 and like the size, but I an looking to upgrade and want a phone with a lot of storage for holding high-res music files for playing in the car. Need Android 14 or higher for bitperfect music. The S24 Ultra is too expensive and too large. Anyone know of an alternative that works on usa verizon ?

thx

Today I was trying to help my friend screencast with his Moto G 5G. I found screencast but it said no wifi. When I checked, it was on but I switched it off and on again just to be safe. It still lies no wifi and the screencast option is still dark.

After I ran the latest update on my Android 13. It changed some system settings to the better but it also locked up the system and cannot change basic things.

I am no longer able to allow restricted settings. The three dots that had that option is gone from the app in the phone settings.

The 2nd issue is that I am unable to find a way to stop Mic and Camera 100%.

There are apps that allow to control that from the notification area.

It won't lock up all the way properly. Some apps are still able to access the camera. So that could also mean that all can.

Please give tips on how to solve it short of rooting the device because it is still brand new and under warranty.

I am a new user to the Google Pixel, the Fold to be more certain. Is anyone here that is familiar enough with the Pixel Fold settings that can check some things I am getting when I play with battery settings?

Thanks,

Danny

Nova Launcher on life support

Linux use to use a MBR program called LILO for booting into whatever OS you had loaded on your computer. It was real easy to use and write script to.

Then for some unknown reason, Linux distributions started using Grub. I had trouble with it starting on day one. It wrote over LILO and I couldn't get to my other OS to boot. I even talked to a guy who was some how involved in the testing of Grub and he couldn't figure it out.

The other day I loaded Fedora on one of my laptops and sure enough Grub didn't work. I searched the web and it was a common problem on the latest version of Fedora. I had to have the Fedora installation DVD in my laptop for it to boot to Fedora. I didn't even bother to try fixes that were listed.

Now I see Super Grub2 is out to fix Grub problems. I'm going to try on Fedora to see if it works. If Grub worked properly this Grub2 wouldn't be necessary.

How do I change my Early Bird password on here, when I do not have a current password?

I have the Galaxy Watch Ultra that advertised upgraded sensors for better sleep tracking (I have some very serious sleep issues and want to track my sleep closely). However, I submitted an error report to Samsung Support because, apparently, the Sleep Score is based on how long I have Sleep Mode enabled on the watch... not my actual sleep time. WTH, Samsung??? I put the watch in Sleep Mode so it doesn't light up when I turn my wrist: but I'm not asleep yet. My Sleep Score is low because of "excessive sleep time" - even though my actual sleep time was 7-1/2 hours! This is BS and it needs to be fixed in a hurry.

Hi,

I have Adobe Acrobat app in my phone to read pdf file.

Every time I do a screenshot in my Samsung A32 5G phone this notification will appear in the notification panel "Turn this image into a PDF to highlight text, comment, sign, and more."

How to disable this notification "Turn this image into a PDF to highlight text, comment, sign, and more."? I look inside Adobe Acrobat app but unable to find a way to disable it.


Thanks

On my laptop I use Linux Mint. I find it easy to backup my Android data weekly to my laptop using the Mint file explorer.
Now the details:

I had a Samsung J7 Pro for six-and-a-half years. Used a data lead micro-USB>type A USB. The phone died a couple of months ago.

Now I have a Samsung A25. Came with a lead, but no charger - grrr!
I also have a data lead USB type C>type A. I can successfully use this to connect laptop and A25 to backup.

I bought a one-piece adapter (not a lead) USB type C>type A. I used it to try and connect my A25 to my laptop, using the A25 supplied type C>type C lead: Charges OK, but no data transfer.

I thought perhaps the Samsung-supplied lead was only charging, not data.
My wife has a Samsung A71. I found can access her phone data using the adapter and A25 lead.

Can someone tell me why it works with an A71, but not with an A25?

I have a Nokia c110 and a OTG cable. I have a 64gb flash drive that I plugged into it. It come up in my file manager ready to us. I put about 56gb of info on it that it displays. That was a out 2 weeks ago. I plugged the drive into the OTG cable again recently and the phone now doesn't recognize it. I put the flash drive in my laptop and it works fine. I also have have a 32gb flash with info on it and it works in the phone and laptop. What gives.

Hello. I have an Amazon Fire HD 10, Generation 9 tablet on which I enabled developer options. I have since toggled it off, but I’d really like to disable it (make it disappear) again, since the tablet is used by a child. Developer Options were enabled by tapping the serial number seven times in “device options” of “settings", so I’m thinking there is a way to reverse that. Does anyone on this forum know how to disable developer options? Thank you

Wanted to find out if anyone out here runs a Lenovo Tab M9, as I just picked one up during Amazon Prime Days. I bought it after my 5 year old Amazon Fire HD8 has gotten long in the tooth, with Amazon not doing any OS updates at all in these years. Apps were getting slower as they updated while OS remained static. So I looked a long time for another small format tablet since I prefer a 7 or 8 inch tablet when I travel on airplanes, easier to read books and watch videos without fearing the dread seat recline knocking over an iPad or laptop.

Samsung has effectively ended their 8 inch line and I didn't find the myriad no name Android devices worthwhile, but the M9 seemed reasonable, especially with a competitive sale price during Amazon Prime Days. At any rate, after a few weeks I'm satisfied the apps I transferred from my HD8 are snappier in responsiveness due to a fairly up to date Android 13 version. It's not certainly not a Samsung tablet nor an iPad, but that isn't what I wanted, just a cost effective reader and occasional video player for light usage.

Anyone have experience with this tablet, would you share your perspective.

I have a Nokia c110 with Android 12. I purchased a USB C to HDMI adapter to connect my phone to a TV. When connected I received no system notification on my phone that the TV recognized the phone or vice versa.

The ports work because I can connect my laptop via a HDMI to the TV and it works.

I returned the cord because I thought it was defective. What could have been some reasons why it didn't work. Do I have to find a specific type to work with the chips on the phones board?

Assume my Smartphone with the name" hello" is currently connected in local WLAN (wifi).
Same as my Windows desktop computer.

How can I setup a Wifi (=not by USB cable) connection to this smartphone via adb ONLY BY NAME ?

Yes, I know the smartphone has an assigned IP like 192.168.x.y

How can I find out the values for x and y after successful adb connection?

How can I find out via adb connection on which port the adb android part (server) n the smartphone is currently listening for incoming adb connection requests?

Similarly: How can I find out from inside (=no adb connection required) Android (13 or 14) what the current Wifi IP and the listening adb port is?

I'm running out of internal storage on phone. Went into CAMERA folder, selected pictures and videos and selected "delete". It said it was moving the pictures/videos to "TRSH". But it did not delete them. My phone is still almost out of internal storage. How do I find "TRSH" and then force them to be deleted? I can't find a "TRSH" folder on the phone. I connected the phone to my computer and it doesn't show "TRSH" folder on the phone either. How do I find and clear out this TRSH folder?

Just checked - "My Files" does NOT show a "TRSH' folder

There's a big recall of Boar Head Deli Meat. 71 different meat items have been recalled. There has actually been a couple of deaths from it
Boar's Head Provisions Co. Expands Recall for Ready-To-Eat Meat and Poultry Products Due to Possible Listeria Contamination | Food Safety and Inspection Service

I have an Albertson grocery store called Jewel-Osco by me in Illinois that sells Boar Head Deli Meat. I bought their Olive Loaf a couple of weeks ago and got an email from the grocery store today. I have eaten all of the Olive Loaf, but I learned a long time ago to always heat Deli Meat up to prevent any problems, All the Olive Loaf I ate was heated up

On my moto edge plus, no matter what I do, still lingers on it forever and ever..
Should I factory reset it again, or is there a much simpler way on how to make it just disapear?

Has anyone ever used one of the Spigen Glas TR EZ FIT screen protectors? I have never used a screen protector. Normally, I have been buying cases with a built in screen protector, but I am wanting to try a seperate screen protector because it might work better, and for the Google Pixel Fold, most of the cases sold seem to have no built in screen protector.
