The only 'tablets' I've seen drivers use are the huge bricks that still run Windows Mobile (brands like Zebra) that are carried around by the FedEx and UPS drivers.

Oddly enough I came across a Zebra scanner at a thrift store, selling for $40. I passed since 1) I think reselling them is illegal, and 2)I doubt I could have hacked the skinned variant of Windows Mobile for anything useful.

My issue, on my Samsung Chromebook 2 360 is that Pocket Casts doesn't even see my SD card. I'm wondered if it was an Android issue, but the Android Files app sees the SD card.

I have enabled SD access in Chrome, and allowed it for the app.

Does anyone know how to get it to see the SD card?

Thanks!

China is a tricky one to judge by: they will not use non-Chinese vaccines and their own one is less effective. Many people are unvaccinated, including high risk groups, so outbreaks are potentially more serious. And the policy of total suppression isn't really workable, but without widespread effective vaccination any outbreak is potentially very nasty.

I don't quite understand what the playstation icon has to do with the tablet? Maybe I missed the conversation thread somewhere?

Horror Story 2: A Restless Halloween. A very interesting movie as it is the sequel to the children's horror film about a few school friends fighting monsters that have jumped off the pages of R.L. Stein's paperback horror stories.

what device do you have? custom roms are very device specific and you need a development community behind it. no dev=no fun......meaning if there is no developer supporting your device, then you will not find any custom roms for it. but that is all dependent on if the device is rootable as well. not all devices can be rooted.

Is your objective to disable only the location data obtained from the GPS satellites? Or are you wanting to disable all location services on your phone?

On modern Android versions, there's not really a way to disable just the GPS data source. The system uses a fused location service which combines location data from all available sources and provides that data to apps when they ask for it.

On a Pixel phone, you can go to Settings > Location and disable the Use Location toggle. That will prevent any apps from obtaining information about your location (based on GPS, nearby Wi-Fi networks, cellular triangulation, and any other potential sources of location data).

Navigating to Settings > Location > App location permissions allows you to review which apps have access to your location data, and drilling down into each app will let you toggle the Use precise location option on/off. With it disabled, the system itself will still have access to precise location data courtesy of GPS, but the app will only be provided with coarse/approximate location data (like what could be expected from cellular triangulation).

Of course, different phones from different manufacturers may have different options.


And I hope it goes without saying that none of these steps would prevent a cellular service provider from triangulating your device's location based on the towers it's connected to and the relative signal strength of each. There's nothing you can do to prevent that from happening.

Never heard of Servify till today but thanks for the suggestion. This is what I’ve been looking for. They also have a page that calculates the cost to replace a device and individual device warranties vs. their comprehensive device protection program. Noice!

Lol. I was literally just going to do the same post, not really knowing how to word it .

One option is to take a picture of another phone or laptop screen as someone mentioned above, yes. But I'm not sure I would get away with it in my situation.

Is anyone aware of any apps that can achieve this? As I need to do it to upload a picture of my driving license to apply for a couple accounts. It comes up with the camera app and that rectangle card shaped reticle that you must fit the card within.

I have lost my license and only have a picture so any help would be greatly appreciated.
I can code but would prefer to use somebody else's hard work to do this

The phone doesn't ping to GPS satellites, just receives.

What are you trying to achieve? As Danny says you cannot stop your network provider knowing your approximate location (unless you remove your SIM). For Google getting your location turning all location services off from the settings should suffice, though as a precaution you may want to turn off the app and Web activity logging in your Google settings (that records locations where apps were used, if they have that information) as well as location history. If you are worried about the security services hacking your phone and bypassing this then (a) you are almost certainly below their notice and (b) it will take more than an adb command to make that impossible.

I'm having sync problems for my game and Google play Games and I need help

Amazingly I found a Youtube video just by searching modem init and found a non English video about how to turn the phone off: Hold all 3 buttons.

AND IT WORKED.

Phew!!!

Thanks anyway.

Hi. I'd like to add to my post (and not edit it in case someone comes by this again after reading it and not notice the edit) that dan le:s suggestion doesn't work for me either because my Chromebook doesn't work the way described there - I only have three dots on the top right, and I can't switch between storage locations like that, there's no such option. The suggestion sounds more like it's meant for a phone, not a Chromebook.

You can't. That's a notification to let you know that a mms did not download.

Could be RIFA-madness, aka a failed, venting RIFA capacitor. Those are usually used for filters and aren't vital to the system functioning properly. However, I'd be looking for the bad one and unsoldering it from the board to avoid not only the smell but a potential fire hazard.

This YouTuber had a RIFA go poof on a monitor on video, yet the monitor kept going.

Usually a phone only gets locked for a few reasons (assuming this is like a PUK or PIN2 lock)

1. Inserting the wrong SIM for the phone (wrong carrier, aka, a Verizon SIM into an AT&T phone)

2. Attempting to bring a prepaid handset to post-paid (most in-box prepaid phones sell super cheap but depend on being activated for a month or so on the prepaid plan to pay off the subsidized cost before they'll accept a post-paid SIM)

3. Using a feature phone from who knows when, locked to Tracfone (which runs proprietary software such as their 'airtime balance display') on a non-Tracfone carrier such as AT&T.

4. Entering the SIM PIN incorrectly 3-5 times. (usually this happens because user goes to security, sees 'SIM LOCK' and hopes it's more secure than the factory screen lock, and doesn't know the original SIM PIN which it will ask for)

5. Attempting to use a 'found' phone on your own SIM, which forces remote lockout (but that usually only happens at the Google account side, and it's called 'factory reset protection' and obviously doesn't involve such a hardware lock)

Hi,

Christmas is coming, and you might want to wear something new: Christmas Lights Watch Face
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.thema.wear.watch.christmaslights

This is an animated watch face, and as always, it's free to try, to see if you love the design.
You can customize the color for free, and a few other essential settings (date, format, etc...)
If you want more, you can become a premium user, and use all its features: custom data & complications, custom shortcuts, animations, secondary timezone, and a lot more!

I hope that you will like it!

I seem to recall that Google changed a lot of Accessibility policies for Android 13 to cut down on apps which were abusing those privileges. I wonder if there are some further tweaks that the developers will need to do to make sure that their apps will continue to function.

I don't use any text expansion apps (I've found that defining shortcuts in the personal dictionary directly in Gboard covers my use case without needing any external tools), but I do use a few other apps that tie in to the Accessibility API - most notably my password manager, Bitwarden. I haven't noticed it stopping working after a while (or following a reboot) so wonder if it's using a different piece of the API or something.

It's encouraging that the Octopus Typing developer was able to reproduce the issue. Hopefully that means they'll be able to find and implement a fix.

Click to expand...

My password app, Roboform, also uses Accessibility along with 9 others. On my phone, each app's information has settings under Permissions. One being "run at startup". Unfortunately, even with that Permission "on", Texpand doesn't restart. I also use the Google keyboard but because of what I do, I need more than Google keyboard can provide. I used to use Smart Keyboard Pro and that had the text expander in it. I got so use to it, that it is very difficult to do without it.

I've used one called X-Plore File Manager for several years that will do this with a million other options, also, I can't remember if I paid for it or if it was free.

Are you using the default text messaging app that came with your Galaxy A12 or a third-party alternative texting app?
It might be a matter where there are two places to check, the Notifications menu in the Settings menu, and the text messaging app's Settings menu if it has its own notifications options.

I have the phone dialer set as my left side shortcut on my lock screen, but every time I open it, it keeps opening to the keypad even though I have set it to "open to last viewed" screen. If I open the phone dialer from the apps list it opens to the recent calls screen, but doesn't when I open it from the lock screen. How do I get it to open to recent calls screen using the shortcut on the lock screen?

Nope. When i turn on the screen this allow me to unlock with my fingerprint, without asking any pin, pattern or password.
Problem is : when i touch the screen nothing happens, fingerprint sensor will not lit. I i turn on the screen, even if turn off after, then i touch the screen and i can unlock with my fingerprint just.
Sometimes the sensor will not respond to read when i touch screen. Like i have no fingerprint sensor, like is dead, nothing happen until i turn on the screen. After this will again work as should for a while

I try to be clear.
I have the screen off. I touch the screen, fingerprint sensor will lit and will un lock my phone. But sometimes touching the screen, wich is off, will not lit the sensor and sure will not unlock. But if i turn on the screen, with power key, and wait for screen to go off than i can touch again the screen, the sensor will lit and read my fingerprint and unkock my phone. Did i make myself clear ?

You might have to do a hard reset which will delete your data.
