My friend's phone is a Moto G 5 g. He wants to do some things with it but barely knows the basics. How does he save photos to his googoo account via wifi? I would probably advise against this sort of thing, but...I tried to help and didn't get far. He is currently using wifi only and is trying to back up with Photos but it keeps showing that regular stuff that comes with a carrier. I don't see any options for wifi.

Every day I toss my blue bath matt with suction cups on the tiles, sometimes it hangs on, but lately it has been sort of hanging by only a few of the cups,
I put it on the tiles as far as I wonder, my question with the cups, is it just slime build up underneath each one?

Ten dead and multiple people injured after a domestic terrorist attack in New Orleans. My deepest condolences to the families and friends affected by this incident

There are some cracks in the wall where things join. How do we fix them? Also, how do we install a new showerhead? The old one is blasting all over the place.

It blows my mind that a new year starts next week. It seems that we just rang in 2024. I hope 2024 proved to be a good year for everyone with 2025 bringing good health and happiness. I'm ringing in the new year at the cabin which has become a tradition. My health has improved so I'll enjoy the entire party and spend the night this year.
We always throw together something for dinner and party and swap lies until midnight when we will lift a glass together and hope to enjoy the same party the next year. I'll have my traditional black eyed pea new years dinner the first. It might bring good luck, who knows? I'm not ready to skip it and find out. Besides, it's one of my favorite meals.

Do you have any special plans to ring in the new year? How about a special dinner on the eve or the first? Any special traditions you observe? Any resolutions you want plan to make? Any resolutions you plan to keep?

My biggest question is.
Why 25% OTB is used for the space for the system apps,
on my moto edge+ it only did about six percent max.

See this image first: This Samsung screen is forcing me to choose all boxes even though I don't want to. If I click "Continue" I fear that I'm unwillingly giving Samsung permission to spam me. Any way to hit Continue without Samsung forcing all boxes to be checked? Anyone know if I'll start getting lots of ad spam after hitting Continue? I would appreciate any advice on this. Thanks. PS: And I REALLY don't want to be forced to give Samsung my precise location data.

Samsung are now rolling out the December security patch for the Galaxy Fold4 and Flip4...

I often watch them in bed and fall asleep. It's very tiresome to wake up to find the whole list has played through, or to be woken up during the night by the ongoing vids. I understand I don't have to watch playlists, but it's nice to have the option.

When I'm on Reddit, to the left of the space bar, the key is a question mark. How can I replace the question with a comma?

Able to change the shape,
able to pull them up and down,
able to make them animated.
Able to customize them without any background developer knowledgment.

So I already spend hours on end making a back up disk, with a text file to bypass for the windows eleven "You cannot upgrade this"
, even register editor earlier this morning.
My question is, even this is a really old machine, can I trick it into bypassing everything for windows eleven?

We've all been there, you get the latest and greatest phone and in no time something better comes out that puts your device in the shade, (just ask some of the Samsung Fold6 owners), and you start considering moving or upgrading.


Well, bearing in mind that the Vivo X Fold3 Pro was first released in China back in April and then went with a global model some 3 months later by replacing its Chinese OriginOS with its global FuntouchOS it is more than holding its own. The phone is both light and slim and offers a premium feel with a nice hand heft and top notch spec's.

Vivo, seemingly, threw everything at this model, including the kitchen sink. It still has the largest interior screen of any foldable, 8.03", with both the exterior and interior screens offering a peak brightness of 4,500 nits, (almost twice that of some of its competitors), and ensures the screens visibility outside, in sunlight. The 72.6mm width of the outer screen allows me to use the phone as a slab phone with ease and there is not that cramped feeling that I have with the Fold5, (fixed by Samsung in the Fold Special Edition), when quickly replying to messages or browsing the web. The carbon fibre hinge is performing well and is easier to open than the Samsung Fold's and this has strangely enough, led me to increase my phone's open usage. Even after 4 months of daily usage the hinge shows no sign of wear and tear and the crease is as barely discernible as the day I received it.

One feature that I particularly find beneficial is the super fast charging of its 5,700 mAh Si/C battery which charges from 0% > 100% in around half an hour on a wired 100W charge or just over an hour on wireless charging at 50W. Surprisingly, the phone does not feel any warmer than my Fold5's smaller Li-Po battery that charges at 25W, wired. This is a huge plus for me as I always need a fully charged phone that will last at least a day or more without charging. The Vivo X Fold3 does much more than this with a combined use for me at 67h 49m and screen on = 16h 15m showing on AccuBattery. This is not all down to the battery size and Si/C technology but also the FuntouchOS which is much more battery friendly than some other OS's at 6.1% per hour on Screen On.

I really like the fast and accurate under screen fingerprint reader on both the outer and inner screens. No more searching for the power button with the screen open or closed and having to pick the device up to access it.

Although intended for sale in India and Indonesia, these global phones operate on the Global network bands and I am currently using 5G SA in the U.K.

Bloatware on the Global model is kept to a minimum and is easily uninstalled or disabled and has all the usual Google features such as Play Store, Maps, Translate, Android Auto, etc:

Vivo are not slow off the mark when it comes to updates either and were the first to release Android 15 back in September. It also receives monthly Android security updates and bugfixes and features.

I must mention the cameras on the Vivo X Fold3 which, even though I am not a professional photographer, have produced some of my best photos and videos, ever. The 64MP periscope telephoto is especially good for zooming in and the Zeiss optics are very good in low light. Colour is realistic and not over saturated.

The stereo speakers are on a par with those on the Samsung Fold5 and produce a good sound although I do use the PowerAmp player from the Play Store on both.

The downside is that there is no e-SIM support or S=Pen capability. Also, support is currently limited to 3 years of OS upgrades and 4 years of security updates. Because this phone is not intended for sale in the U.K. and Europe, I am missing the customary 2 year European warranty and am only on a 1 year warranty.

In conclusion, I am very happy with this phone and will be looking eagerly for Vivo's next fold phone to see what innovations and improvements it brings before deciding on my next year's purchase.

Samsung have begun rolling out the Fold5 December Android security update...

Samsung have begun rolling out the December update for the S21 series...

I have a Motorola Edge 2020 regular. The OS is LineageOS 21/Android 14. Something weird is happening with the stock file explorer. It only shows the Download folder on internal storage. It doesn't show my SD Card either. I didn't notice this because I rarely use it. I don't know when it stsrted. Possibly when I upgraded from LineageOS 20/Android 13. With the file explorer I usually use (X-Plore), it shows everything. I don't know if it's related to this, but another weird thing is happening. I have a Bit Torrent client called ttorrent. I don't know when this started either, possibly also when I upgraded from LineageOS/Android 13. But when I browse for a folder to save what I'm downloading, it opens the stock file explorer's file picker widget or whatever you call it. You just see the blank page with Recent in the top left quarter, as you see in the picture. The only items in the menus you see are file sorting and whether or not you want to show hidden files. Is there any way to change the default file explorer so I don't have to worry about this?

I just took Google Androids suggestion and switch from OK Google to gemini. Now it cannot read aloud what's clearly on my screen a Chrome web page. But OK Google did it just fine. Anybody have the same experience with gemini?

Samsung have begun rolling out a further update, GXK8, to their Fold4 devices that does not change the November security patch, GXJA, that was released last month. Exactly what this interim update, 612.50MB, covers is a mystery.

S22 5g. android 14. When I press the volume up or down key, I only get one volume bar. But can I make the full panel show up?

I saw someone get the full panel to show up with just one volume button press, in a YouTube video, but I don't know how. Maybe it's phone maker specific?

Samsung have begun rolling out their December security update out in Europe...

I just watched episode 1.
I like the fact that they have geared it towards kids, but this is not for me.
Anyone else have a comment?

Hi all,

I have two Samsung tablets and one of my bookmarked websites is:


I regularly have to log in because for some reason the logged in status is lost. It's the same whether I just let the tablets sleep or switch off. The techie at DS is stuck for an answer except to ask:

Could your browser have some kind of cookie prevention that stops it from keeping you logged in? Can you enable cookies, or try a different browser?

I use Brave browser on one tablet and Duckduckgo on the other. Any ideas, please?

Thanks,

Ian

My friend got plagued with 'em. I got a can of spray online and it worked great. Then they came back and the second spraying almost seemed to make it worse. Is there some kind of homemade remedy?
