The last time I used a belt clip it was when I had a Samsung Galaxy SIII. But at work each time I squatted or bent over a certain way that belt clip would no doubt POP! and hit the floor. Luckily it protected the phone and it was in a case anyway, but it happened often enough to get annoying real fast and left front pocket became the default option, with keys clipped via carabiner to my belt loops.

I also had issues with my Nokia 5185i popping off its belt clip and hitting the floor, often enough that it took duct tape to keep the battery on, which was part of the back of the phone and eventually the clips holding it on snapped off from so much of it being dropped that way.

I also see one-handed use as necessary. I am always using one of my hands whenever a text comes in, or doing something else and I like using it one-handed. Today's phones are too long and often too wide, and with my bad arthritis lately, both trying to reach the top to clear a notification to swiping around to navigate because some genius thought buttons = evil became such a chore that downgrading to what I use today was the only option left. When it no longer works, I'm off smartphones for keeps. Nobody makes a phone that checks all my boxes anymore, plus I don't rely on apps nearly as much as I once did.

Glad you were able to recover them, that's a great app to keep tucked away.

If you search December 31, 1969 (or1969-12-31) there's a whole bunch of stuff on that date. Seems to have something to do with Unix. It's really odd since there is so much information on it.

Also, if you can't delete or rename it, can you change the date?

31 December 1969 was the UNIX Epoch, aka launch. That's why it is the default date and time on a UNIX/Linux-based OS. Similar is the IBM date of 1 January 1980 on the IBM PC 5150, being its launch.

ColorNote might be an option. What phone do you have? Many Samsung phones of any vintage can open a *.txt in their default viewer, like S Memo or Polaris Office. *.txt is a pretty universal standard, not a proprietary Windows one such as *.doc or *.docx.

I loved those too. I'm an even bigger fan of '60s TV. I got the entire series of M*A*S*H on DVD, and loved Happy Days, but Mork and Mindy was such a huge downgrade compared to the Mork character starring in episodes of Happy Days--it wasn't the same fun. It was kinda, well, bland.

I love Laverne and Shirley (especially the Lenny and Squiggy segments), along with the Odd Couple, Green Acres (reminds me of the people around here!), as well as The Andy Griffith Show, Bewitched, the Munsters, Lassie (if you can even get that one--unobtainium both on physical as well as digital, this being the '50s series, not the movies) and many more. Since in the early 80's Nickelodeon had very little of their own content they often ran reruns of 50s and 60s shows when they had open time slots (later putting it into their Nick@Nite evening block), I was exposed far more to that era in TV than the 'modern' 80s era at the time, and the only exposure to 80's television were the Saturday morning cartoons like He-Man, Voltron, The Wuzzles and others.

I have always been fond of old things too, and being around my great grandparents a lot as a child made me more enamoured by the 1950s-60s style of culture, tech and life in general. That's why I'm like I am, and resistant to any form of 'future' I don't feel I belong in. I was probably the last generation that was taught how to take things apart, repair them and read schematics as I was growing up. Back then, at least until the mid-80s that was considered a vital childhood skill, and a benefit later in life.

Personally, I'd rather spend my off time re-aligning the IF transformers and tuners in my AM radios and enjoy the warmer sound of them over dealing with buffering, compression and other disadvantages of just pulling songs up on your phone. Radio is free, subscriptions to multiple services are not. Around here, there's plenty of great classic music stations on AM. Radio doesn't need internet, nor app updates, or accounts much less data gathering.

i think the mic in the buds are getting priority from the hooked up mic, but that is only a guess. can you hook up some headphones that does not have a mic?

What's probably happening is this:

Facebook is logged in on this phone, but not the laptop/computer the person is using (maybe they bought a new laptop?) person goes to 'forget password' on the PC. 2FA sends a text code to the phone, but the phone in question is locked behind a PIN that nobody remembers, or a SIM lock from inserting the wrong SIM into it.

This sort of is why I can't login to Facebook anymore (not that I consider it a huge loss) but because the phone number in question that was setup on my FB account no longer exists, and it tries to send a 2FA code to that number. I never set up 2FA on my FB account anyway, and it got forced on me. I just wanted to login to see a group that's otherwise hidden and view posts there, but oh well. No biggie.

If the phone is SIM locked, good luck getting any carrier to give that code to you. I was always treated with hostility by carriers for merely asking them for the PUK code or Subsidy unlock code, like I were trying to hack their system or something. The phone might also be locked because it's no longer supported by the network, aka no VoLTE capability and the SIM got hotlined.

By that argument I could easily fool someone to believe a heavily customized Linux is Windows, or that a heavily customized Android build is iOS, but people aren't yet that stupid.

Actually, Chromium/Chrome OS did "fool" me into thinking that it was Android. More to the point: It's a simple matter of practicality. I won't count something as an Android device, unless the user can use Android on it. On both the Echo smart speaker and the Nook Simple Touch: The Android is under-the-hood, and inaccessible to the user.

More like anti-privacy policy. We're constantly EULA-roofied and suddenly everyone thinks anyone who prefers to have privacy is some tinfoil hat wearing nut. Being concerned about data collection ain't a conspiracy theory. It's a legit concern and one everyone should be angry about. Why we allow corporations to walk all over us just turns my stomach. This is the very thing Richard Stallman warned us about back in the '90s

You'll need a new device at Android 10 or higher. There is no workaround using your current device

Thank you for your answers. So I see, there is no other option than adding the company within the contact name to have the company being displayed in the call logs. It is incredible, no option to display company in call log exist: it is an essential feature for anyone using his phone for some business (which certainly represent more than 50% of Android users !)

Are there any way to automate the addition of the company name inside the contact name ?
I have hundreds of business contacts that I now need to have the company named added to their name.

Somehow i booted into download mode and using odin i downloaded twrp and this time autoreboot option unticked.Then i restarted and pressed timely to get into twrp and flashed "disable dm verity" and rebooted.Finally it went into the system without problems. Thank you for your reply.

I found the issue with my import file so I want to share it in case it is helpful to others.
The VERSION: keyword apparently is sensitive to spaces, so I had VERSION: 2.1 and that seemed to cause an issue.
I found this by comparing my import file with an export file and for a given vcard item, that was the only difference.
HTH

The Android Auto three way interface works fine on my 2021 Grand Cherokee, but I haven't tried Waze, only Google Maps.

Could your Explorer screen/radio need an update? Have you tried plugging your phone in directly with a USB cable instead of using AA Wireless dongle?

Oh. Well I'm using the site via Firefox 52 ESR on a Dell Vostro 1700 from 2007 running Windows 7 Pro. I have uBlock installed and I am not sure if it's that or the old software that keeps the site from auto refreshing but I always hated auto refreshing anyway. I used to turn off JavaScript to avoid it years ago.

I'm also stubborn and hate change but I still love this layout much better. It's the closest we get to the vBulletin AF.

Will do thanks.

To arrange the ones you already have - tap the avatar on a contact, (you may have to click edit) tap the 3 dot menu and select 'move to another account', click the one you want to move it to. This can be done from anywhere.
To save a new contact - if you're in contacts or the dialer there is s drop-down at the top with your accounts, pick the account to add it to. If you're in Gmail it will add to the account you already in.
The phone app does pull all contacts with phone numbers regardless of where they're saved but Gmail only pulls/uses contacts saved to that account.

I moved to an area where my Verizon's iffy. ATT is the carrier of choice in my new area. I have another line on my phone with a local ATT phone number, keeping the old Verizon number on another esim. ATT downloads and reception are remarkable, here. Verizon is unremarkable. I am currently running a T-Mobile trial. It is very unremarkable here.

I knew ATT was the service here, because I tried Cricket. I needed ATT over Cricket because I do virtual work and if the cable goes out? I'm dead in the water, so ATT is unlimited without a cap. I need that.

did you ever figure out a fix or work around? im currently having this issue2

Google Maps and Life360 both will. I found Life360 to work better with iPhones in the mix but Maps works really well too (location sharing). 360 has a free plan that may be perfectly adequate and it will actually follow you around, maps updates every minute or so. 360 has a lot of permissions and sharing going on, Maps does too but it's Google so you probably are already granting them all of that.
