Hi all
I have recently just bought a 2019 BMW new car and it only supports Apple CarPlay, is there a way I can use my android instead without having to pay a 3rd party company to basically take my whole dash apart to fit a new system?

You may find this request highly unusual but it is real.
I want to disable Android phone remotely due to addiction by 10 year old.
The phone is registered with google under my email address.
Virus or developing of app or any suggestion highly appreciated.

I want to flash stock LG firmware on LG G8 (LM-G820UM). I would first like to backup what is currently on the phone, just in case I want to play around with it in the future. I also want to lock the bootloader again. Could someone please point me in the right direction? How do I backup the firmware the phone currently has? When I search for firmware how do I find out what firmware do I need, which one should I choose and from where should I get it from? How do I flash firmware on LG phones? How do I make sure I have done everything correctly so the phone doesn't become a brick and how do I lock the bootloader again? Do I also need to flash any rom/s? I don't have much experienced flashing phones. Any help is appreciated .

I am trying to sync my Redmi 12 with my car, which is not Android Auto compatible. The phone syncs okay, but the car cannot access the phone book, it says that I need to give permission in the phone. I cannot find the setting to do this, can anyone help?
I have MIUI Global 14.0.6 and Android v 13TP1A.220624.014

There was a sudden increase in the download speed which is being displaed in the notifications bar. I want to check which app is causing that.
Is there any way to check the instantaneous data download stats and by which app.

HELP!! can anyone please tell me what app this is??? I can not for the life of me figure it out I've searched Google and thw playstore for all apps I've every installed and I hit a.dead end every time

Samsung usb driver is installed and usb debugging is enabled.

I get pop-ups all the time: "Unfortunately, Samsung keyboard has stopped".
I got original firmware from the web : T520UEUANI1_T520XACANI1_HOME.tar.md5 .
I than booted in download mode and ran odin v.3.13.1, but "Added!!" did not appear.

Then I clicked on "wipe data/factory reset" and I rebooted. But I can't use the keyboard because I still get the pop-up.
I ran odin again but nothing doing.

I am not good with android. I need help.

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?
