Till death do us part.

Probably right. I've already lived through the "Death" of a lot of good apps that have been abandoned by the original creative team. For years I kept an old version of a certain file manager that was sold to the Chinese.
Old games that are no longer supported on the newer versions of Android.

It's defective and then some. I just avoid it, but it won't return the favor. That vertical slider appears out of nowhere. It"s very hard to get rid of, and almost impossible to change the setting, because it goes right back to where it was. How do I fix it?

Maybe checkout iFixit: The Free Repair Manual

As this may have the relevant repair information, as well as tools and parts required for the phone or tablet.

Another wifi thingy that pops up everywhere even in the middle of the forest?

I have all notifications (that I want on) set to on. I have placed yahoo email app and Gmail for Unrestricted battery usage.
But doesn't matter because phone goes into doze mode and I don't get the notifications, at least not for sometimes 10 minutes, 20 minutes after an email arrives. In many cases I wouldn't care, but if there is movement in front of my security camera, I want to be alerted asap, not 25 minutes after lol.
This is a widely experienced thing I'm reading online with doze mode. charging the phone turns doze mode off, and I get all my notifications in a timely manner while plugged in. Also, there are some work-arounds with forcing doze mode off, but it if you restart your phone, it re initiates I guess.

Oh you mean sleep timer, yeah mine dozes off after fifften seconds, maybe people are busy.

Vivo Fold3 Pro-Wipe Cache Partition​

The Vivo X Fold3 Pro is not available globally and I thought that 3rd party cases might have been hard to come by.

How wrong I was.

Whilst the phone comes with a case in the box, it is a back cover only and has a camera island cut-out. Not too bad but it offers no front screen protection or has a kick-stand, something I find very useful.

Companies such as Amazon, Temu and AliExpress offer a selection of cases and I eventually settled on a leather covered case that protected both the front and rear as well as the hinge. More importantly, it provides a kickstand built-in to the camera cover. The camera cover has cut-outs for the various cameras and flash which means that the camera can operate normally even with the cover/kickstand closed. The case also has the usual cut-outs for the power and volume buttons as well as the Sound On/Off slider switch. It also has a dip on the righthand side of the front case to enable the back gesture.

Have been using the case for a number of weeks and it is, in my humble opinion, the best fold case that I have used. Even better was the cost... £10.39p, about six to eight times cheaper than other cases I have purchased in the past.

Available via AliExpress... https://es.aliexpress.com/item/1005...st_main.5.21ef194dWHRiMf&gatewayAdapt=glo2esp

Given Musk's track record of making big claims about autonomous driving, usually when the stock price needs a boost, all of which have failed to materialise, I wouldn't invest too much hope in that "before 2027" date: based on his track record the price is irrelevant because the vehicle will probably never be released.

But on pricing, yeah, I seem to remember that the Model 3 was also originally teased as having a low price that turned out to be considerably higher when it was actually launched. So that's another thing that Musk has form on.

(Mind you we don't need to worry about the Cybertruck on this side of the Pond: that sharp-edged rigid body means it doesn't meet the pedestrian safety standards for it to be legal to drive it on a public road here, and as Mr Musk generally throws a tantrum whenever he's told that he doesn't have a special exemption from regulations I don't imagine it will ever be sold here).

Yeah Odin is a real challenge ..

I have done that with my moto z2 turbo years ago..

Had no cell forever though it was hell..

i never bothered with it. it was more annoying than anything else. i am a power user and use my phone all day. i also keep all performances up to its max. as i prefer the screen to be bright and the phone fast. so because of that i make sure i have chargers always ready to charge it. and yes i know this will deplete my battery life in the long run, but i only own phones for 2-3 years before i move on. so battery life is not a concern for me.

thanks. Yes, I've also decided adaptive brightness is more of a pain than anything. Additionally, I have turned off "adaptive battery" as this can cause a delay in notifications. If I receive an important email or text, or am alerted to movement from my security camera, I don't want any delay for those things.
The battery is lasting soooooo much longer than my previous phone anyway, so I'm good with it.

also check to see if there is an update for the app. and you might as well see if the phone needs to be updated as well.

You might give Command Wire Hooks a look.

They stick on the wall with double faced tape. I've not used the product but the net suggests them for hanging hats. Here is a video on how to install.

I have attempted on hanging my wooden nest I did almost a year ago on my painted wall, left a huge gouge on it, as well as a clock on my wall too..

I hope that there is something else.


The other CM product, for paintings and artwork works for me. Very wonderful.

Thnkx for keeping the place up to date.

After dinner, I went riding. Half way between my town and the town South, two dudes were set up to attempt some pictures. There were high clouds and I think their chances were slim for a window. I stopped and wished them good luck all the same. I rode until near dark. The West sky was rose colored. I think they got in a good practice run.

It's a biggie, 1 tb. A while back I tried to remove it but it's stuck tight. I might have messed up by trying to open the "tray" with that weird paper clip thing because before that it at least showed. I have rebooted the Play twice and shaken it. What's next?

Click to expand...

if the tray is stuck, you can try a repair shop. or you can try iFixit: The Free Repair Manual and look up your phone and see if they have a repair guide. you can even order tools there to help open up the phone to get at the sd card tray.

i use youmail free app - Android Apps on Google Play.

it screen calls, text messages, and you can use their voicemail.

i have also used Hiya: Spam Blocker & Caller ID - Apps on Google Play in the past.

Were you using Google contacts? Just install it, sync, and all are there. If not, without a backup, you'll need to enter all of them again one by one.
