At long last, Samsung have released their Android 15 and One UI 7.0 update for my Fold5, F946B, on CSC code EUX. Download 5,026.17MB.

I bought (and am now asking for my money back!) CCleaner, which only stops apps temporarily! I need to free up RAM or my game crashes a lot. Surely Android must have a way to disable all these apps? In windows I can choose start-up apps, and even have two sets saved so I can start up minimally if I need the RAM.

On my pc, I have this:




Should I keep them both or have one functioning one though, I am scratching my head to make sure it is nothing that I previously thought I would of heated with the glitches, anyone can give me a light to the puzzle.. I know I have three, intel, ASUS and NVIDIA build in.

I have had a gmail account for a very long time, since before smartphones. And my first several smartphones were Androids, until a few years back when I started using an iPhone work had given me. I recently returned to the Android world with a new Pixel 9, and after activating it I was checking the photos folder and found some old pictures I had taken on former Android devices. Unbeknownst to me, they had ended up stored in my Google account and it downloaded them to my new Pixel (which also explains why I lost a lot of device storage!).
A little digging helped me find them in Google Photos and while I'm 90+% certain I have them already on a laptop (as well as a backup device), I'm currently exporting them through Google Takeout, after which I'll delete them from the Google repository and my new Pixel. I'm still a bit baffled as to how they ended up in Google Photos to begin with, though; it was quite unexpected, though it was also good to see some of the pictures again, especially since some were of my mom who I lost almost 11 years ago.
Anyway, most of you probably already know about Google Photos and you're like "DUH!," but just in case someone isn't, log into your google account and check your photos.

I use gboard as a keyboard. In whatsapp, texting, notepad, spelling errors are underlined in red. In the game dustlands, they are not.

Does anyone know how spellcheckers, keyboards, and apps, interact in android? I asked the game makers and they said it was up to android to do it.

so i just bought the Nebula Mars 3 projector. it is the only outdoor projector that i have found. it is ipx 3 rated so it can handle rain and mist as well as dust proof. it has lens protector that acts as the power button. you just close the lid on the lens and it powers off. it can handle a screen size of 200" at 1080p. it has android tv built in with chromecast. Nebula is owned by Anker and thus it has a 5 hour battery bank. it has 1,000 ansi lumens which makes it really bright. it also has a very nice built in 40W speaker with Dolby Digital Plus.

you can get it from Amazon:

here is a great review of it:

i have been looking for an outdoor projector for my backyard porch. i am currently using my porch shade as a projector screen. it projects really good onto it. i am sure that if i use an actual projector screen, the image would be that much better, but i am really happy with the setup i have now. i can now chill after work, smoke my cigar while having a nice glass of bourbon and watch my content. i can watch live sports from it thru the Direct TV app.

anybody else use a projector?

Like about four a.m., I did read one one web site..

I have a Samsung s10e running Android 12. The OK Google beep has stopped. So I don't know if it actually woke up and it's listening to my voice or not.

There used to be a way of fixing this, but somehow the menu options have changed and now I don't know where to turn.

That plasma tv isn't working again. It could be the batteries because the couch was wet for a while. No, there isn't money for another.

I have an android 13 TV box running XCTV player and for the life of me cant get it to record live tv.
Permissions are set with full access but I just get a blank screen when trying to play back a set recording.
My previous android 9 box recorded just fine using the same software, and my old tablet running Android 9 and the same software also records fine.
I'm presuming it's down to file settings being tightened up in Android 13, anyone point me in the right direction with this issue?
Thanks, Mike

I inadvertently pressed some button(s) that i don't which ones and now my LG K20 Plus cell phone is in Dark Mode. How do I get it back to normal? Settings -> Display does NOT have an entry for toggling Dark Mode on/off.

vivo have begun rolling out the April 2025 security patch to their global, (FunTouch), models of the X Fold3 Pro. This update also has a number of bug fixes and optimizations for Android 15 as detailed in the screenshot.

This is the vivo X Fold3's 8th Android 15 update.

Greetings, recently my Android 15 Pixel 6 has lost voice keyboard input, making life difficult for such tasks as texting, email, etc.. A picture of keyboards installed is attached. For years I've used the "Hacker's Keyboard", but it doesn't seem functional now, I simply can't find the microphone icon with any onscreen keyboard I try.

Help please?

Somebody stepped on broken glass and now there's a crime scene/horror movie. I've tried an Oxi Clean Maxforce gel stick and Oxi Clean powder. I'm running out of both but I do have a carpet machine that uses water and solution. It's an ugly old carpet, lowest common denominator beige, but still...

Well, it would be a terabyte sd card in a slot for one hundred twenty eight gigs. Is it doable? I have a tb right now and can't really afford to buy another of any size.

From the net: Starlink is a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellation developed by SpaceX that provides broadband internet access worldwide. It uses a network of satellites in low orbit to deliver high-speed, low-latency internet to users, especially in areas with unreliable or limited internet connectivity.

Being low Earth orbit, they often reflect sunlight after nightfall. The picture below is an example. A link was shared on another site that predicts when such a visual might be seen at your location. I haven't tried it yet but plan to.

I just bought a refurbished Pixel 8 from Amazon. Occasionally there is a bright pink line that runs from the top of the display to the bottom. It's just a few mm wide. I read in the article below that Google had a repair program addressing this issue. Can anyone point me to any information regarding this pink line issue?

-Thanks

I hope everyone has a great Easter weekend. I haven't anything planned this year. My son is in the middle of a refinery shutdown and will be working. So... we will not get to see the great grandkids hunt eggs this year. I'll likely smoke something Sunday. Rain is in the forecast for both Saturday and Sunday with a chance of storms. It just can't seem to rain here anymore so it will not likely mess up any egg hunting plans.
I hope you have something fun planned for the weekend. Be safe if you travel and I hope you share some time with treasured friends and or family.

I'm concerned about the well-being of @Clementine_3 and @MoodyBlues. I know Moody is having health issues but had continued to log in to AF now and then even if she didn't post. She has not logged in this year. Clem is a more recent absentee. I know she was disappointed in the more recent downturn in family friendly posts here but understood she, being the only active female, was outnumbered. She gave no indication she was leaving so I worry about her health. Both of these ladies are long term contributing members that these forums and I truly miss. I hope they are fine. There are so few of us left that the impact of losing a quality member is devastating to me.

Sorry... I'm a mushy old man and worry about the AF family. If you know anything about the missing... please let us know.

"Samsung seems to have pulled the firmware update from its OTA servers without explaining why. According to leakster Ice Universe, Samsung discovered several bugs on devices that got the One UI 7 update, including instances where updated phones could “not be unlocked normally”. SamMobile also reported a critical bug with Samsung's Secure Folder, which exposes users’ Gallery contents."

right now i am scared to express my opinion here or any where on the net. people's rights are being taking away and i do not want this to happen to me.

i will continue my presence here, but i will most likely not be discussing anything political here.

mods can you please lock this thread up......thanx

If you are so scared than quit espousing such dribble as you do ! ! !

If Admin here thinks locking up threads that many members participate in because of one snow-flower's perceived fear of whatever, then so be it. I will see y'all on the flip side, no reason to stay here when my expressions are locked down due to someone being butt hurt over the heat HE created.

Stir up trouble and then whine about being picked on .... fook me running !


Have a good day.

This Moto G 5g is stuck at 77%. I've tried the usual suspects: plug and unplug, use different outlet, change wall wart. When I did that last thing, it did at least buzz and seemed to charge a bit. What do I do now?

I have a Tab A7 and I have a slot game that is just so slow. Yeah, it's a lower end tablet, but we're talking a slot game, not a first person shooter. So I installed and ran 3D Mark Sling Shot and it says my tablet is slower than 81% of all Tab A7s, much less higher end units. My tablet is a 2022 model with 3gb and 32gb. So two questions:

1. Any clue why the video would be so slow?

2. Is there another 8" tablet that would be an improvement in video? I'm fine with any brand. But 8 or 9" seems to be disappearing from the world.

Thanks!!
