How to prevent phone from accidentally muting notifications?

On my phone pressing the volume keys changes media volume by default, not notifications (the "bell" icon). I thought that had been the default for a while, but I only used Android 12 for about an hour so might have missed a difference. Check your sound settings for an option like that, since silencing media by accident is better than silencing notifications.

Of course it may well not be the buttons, especially since another feature of my phone is that the volume key only works when the screen is unlocked (hence not likely that they'll change by accident). I do also use a flip case, which makes it essentially impossible for the phone to be accidentally woken and some on-screen button pressed by accident. What sort of screen lock do you use?

There are a surprising number of apps that can control Do Not Disturb functions, or at least have the permission (apps often request permissions they don't use, due to lazy programming). So maybe check what has that permission and whether any of them could be responsible? I personally use Tasker to automatically silence my phone during calendar appointments where I've marked myself as "busy", but it's possible that you've got some app doing it without you knowing (I'd think calendar or media apps would be the things to check). If it happens at certain times/days check your Do Not Disturb settings to make sure there isn't some timed profile active (there may be some default one that's been accidentally activated.

Samsung Galaxy

OK. Yes, thanks. I've seen that before.
I'm wondering if it may not be possible to edit the Pin unlock screen background colour, as from the replies I've seen so far, no one has mentioned that screen itself?
I said a million times over, you can make the different hue of each tone in the color combination and then, have the tinted digital clock by pressing a button that can make it darker or lighter.


Basically.
Watch the video and follow it with the instructions.

E-Bikes

It was a great day to ride. I started my ribs on the smoker and went riding. I saw a lot of people out this morning. A number of dad's with their kids and a couple of mom and dad with kiddos riding. It was fun to see them enjoying their time together. I saw Tim, the e-trike guy, a couple of times this morning. He basically rides the same loop as myself but in the opposite direction. He cuts through the town South instead of riding to the point were the two highways cross which adds about two miles to the loop. As the day progressed I saw fewer and fewer walking and riding. I rode again after dinner and saw nobody. I logged 125 miles today which is a new one day record for me. It took all three batteries. :)

Happy 1st Birthday vivo Fold3 Pro Global

Even I cannot believe it has been a whole year since the vivo X Fold3 Pro global edition was released. Without a doubt, this has been the best fold phone I have ever owned. Any doubts I may have had when I purchased this device have long gone.

The crease when unfolded, remains barely discernible and like the day I received it. The innovative carbon fibre hinge is as good as new. Most impressively, the 5,700 mAh Si/C Li-Ion battery that sees me, on average, through 56hours of combined use and charges 0%-100% in just 31 minutes still shows as Healthy.

The 8.03" , inner, (unfolded), screen and 6.53" cover screen at 4,500 nits peak brightness have to be seen to be believed and perform well even in bright sunlight.

Perhaps one of the things I find most useful are the under screen ultrasonic fingerprint readers on both the inner and outer displays which have worked both quickly and flawlessly. The same goes for the built-in infra red, IR, blaster.

Last but not least, the cameras on this make even a photography dummy like myself, look good. Way better than other phone cameras that I have used in the past.

When this model first launched, I said at the time that vivo had thrown everything including the kitchen sink at it and that still holds true with features and capabilities that other manufacturers are only just starting to catch up with. In fact, for the first time ever, I am not tempted by any other fold phone, either on the market or rumoured, not even the forthcoming vivo Fold5 which is virtually identical to the Fold3 Pro but with no under screen fingerprint readers and slightly slower charging. See, here.

I can only but hope that vivo brings out a Pro version later in the year.
