Using Moto

Oh just head over to the alarms, and you can use it to directly upload them to the cloud (personally I never bothered using Alarms, but I did it a few times, for cooking, and it works wonders, they can save on your motos via cloud methinks.)

Gallery isn't a location, so you can't save things to it. It's just an app for viewing images on your device, just as File Manager is an app for, well, managing files on your device.

The Gallery app should usually find media wherever you download them to on the device, so you can just choose where you want to store them using the file manager. If it has trouble finding images you have downloaded try stopping and restarting it, or go into its settings and see whether there is any option to force it to rescan or to look in particular directories (aka "folders" if you prefer that term). Different phones have different Gallery apps, so I don't know what options your Gallery app has because they are probably different from mine. Or you can choose to store them in a directory where you already have images the Gallery can see (if you have one called "Pictures" then try that).

It is possible to stop Gallery apps looking in a particular directory by putting a file called ".nomedia" in them, but that's not something you would do accidentally. If you have downloaded images but the Gallery simply cannot find them you could try moving or copying them to a different location and see whether that fixes it

We've just released 2.0.0 with:

Good luck ghost hunter!

Just use Newpipe, you can download the video as Mp4 and no conversion needed

I am also at lost with this, since I turned down the volume pretty much most of the time on my tablet... hmmm, so can you adjust the sound setting?

I found what I feel is the reason, I went into the clock app and shut off all alarms and the music stopped. I'm now going back in there and start to turn them on one at a time until I find the culprit. I also shut off notifications from the Gmail app which I don't use anyhow as it showed up some of the times the music played

Lol.....i suck at these kind of games.

Wikipedia? Well okay then

Check google photos, if you google account is synced your photos should be automatically backed up in the cloud.

When you're going to be recording 4K video, use your phone's internal storage. The USB interface as is will really limit your bandwidth speed, adding in an adapter device will only increase the loss.
If enough free space on your phone's internal storage is going to be a problem, use a microSD card instead. Just be sure it's a newer card that is the appropriate speed class. 4K recording will require some decent write speed to save to the storage media effectively. It's not so much how fast your SSD is, the limitation is in how it's connected to your phone:

I use my Google Voice number for any situations where I don't want to use use my primary phone number -- i.e. ordering take-out, buying stuff online, etc. It's reliable and stable, and easy to manage through either the app or using a web browser on a computer or laptop.

But it is a Google product so at any time, even though it has a long established history, I won't be surprised if Google opts to kill it off or monetize it in some kind of annoying way. It does give me a very useful, secondary phone number but I'd be nervous about making it my main phone number.

An Android TV isn't typically intended to be used as a makeshift device for 'office' tasks like emailing and such so it's not surprising there's no email apps available in your TV's Play Store app.
Does your TV model already have its own integral keyboard app? You'll need to install one if possible to do something as interactive as email exchanges. Otherwise, if there's already an existing web browser app you can just use that to access whichever email service you prefer, all the major email services -- Gmail, MS Outlook, Yahoo Mail, Proton, AOL, Juno, etc. -- have web interface sites.

It has an Android app now:

Google app store

Samsung Galaxy app store

I'm just seeing "This app is not available in your country or region." I guess the ex-POTUS wants to keep it USA only

All I can do is send sympathy. I had to give away a perfectly good Samsung tablet with Android 8 because my sound system (Roon) wasn't truly compatible and needed more RAM.

But I don't have any skill with rooting, etc.

Android tablets and phones are some of the worst examples of planned obsolescence I've seen.

I don't.. I'm sorry. I have not been to any vendors lately. Man I feel your pain. I once waited nearly a month for a phone that was backordered because of a screen change mid manufacture. HTC Droid Incredible. The waiting was unbearable!!! The wait was worth it when it finally arrived. I'm betting your wait will be worth it as well. I wish I was waiting for a S23. You are in for some serious fun.

And when you re-enable it it will probably re-update itself. System apps may not allow you to stop them from auto-updating.
If you really want to remove a system app completely it may be possible with a package uninstaller via ADB.

have you tried rebooting the phone? what articles did you find about the july updates that cause issues with phone calls?

are you closing all of your running apps before you connect to android auto?

Click to expand...

Yes, I routinely close my running apps. In fact, I have an app that reminds me to kill background apps every day.

best way is to set default notification sound to silent and the SMS notification sound to some custom one

Start with Android Studio and the official website of Android development.

Anybody need an unlocked Moto Pure in good shape?

Click to expand...

I think you should keep it! Even if you really don't want a carrier, you might still be able to put Google Voice onto it and be able to make calls via wi-fi. Plus it's not just a phone, it's a handheld PC: You can run apps on it, play games, read e-books, browse the Internet, etc.

That said: If you're not keeping it, and if you don't want to sell it: I could take it off your hands. My dad could use a backup phone anyway. To be clear, I do not need it! It'd just be nice to have. If there's someone else who actulley needs it, you should give it to him instead of me.

and will have a big blank empty space

That's a good thing! It's good for computers (including smartphones) to have lots of free space. And all it cost you was a few dollars.

I agree with Pitcarver. I used the specific phone "forums" before I purchased a phone. I checked the "forums" of the phones I was interested in to see what issues they had before buying it. And after I had the phone, I used the "forum" as a first line of help. A Pixel 4 won't have the same problems as a Pixel 6 Pro. Putting them all together doesn't make sense. As far as keeping the antiquated phone's forums open is silly. Why not turn the forums to read only when the phones stop being updated &/or supported? Then, after an agreed amount of time, delete the old forums to save space. Or you could put all the "expired" phone's questions in one Expired Phones forum.
