I wouldn’t say I like such models. As for me, those are outdated. I only divide watches into two categories; the useful electronical ones and pretty. I use good watches at the gym to see how many calories I have burned, what was my heartbeat, and other helpful information. While, I use pretty ones to go to the office, for meetings, celebrations and going out. I buy the last category in luxurious brands and pay thousands for them. I put them in a pretty watch winder too. And that watch you posted is somewhere in the middle; pretty useless

I love Mahjong. It's so relaxing. Who else?

Scammers and spammers send out automated robocalls, every day, by the countless thousands. If a human being answers a call, and actually interacts with it (such as pressing 9 to be removed from the call list - never do that), the value of that number increases on the market.

That said, I can't think of any legitimate reason why anyone would be paid to verify phone numbers as valid. If a person wants messages with coupons or discounts, they should be able to opt-in by providing their own number. My 2c

Normally they are straight, that one has bends in it, like olbriar says compare it to the other one an straighten accordingly.

It should be easy to bend by hand, may want to lay it on a flat surface and use a hammer to gently shape it back to where it belongs.

I am known to the US authorities, specifically the TSA.

Timestamps get stored in each photo file's metadata, and there's an inherent problem involving how different platforms interpret and display metadata. Windows prioritizes that data the way Microsoft prefers, Android the way Google prefers, and on top of all of that there's a really big issue in that any storage media using a FAT-based file system is simply not able to handle file metadata in a proper manner (microSD cards use either FAT32 or exFAT by default). The FAT file system goes back to the 90's, it's now obsolete and simply isn't able to support today's technology.

So there are OS issues, that only get amplified with the limitations with the FAT file system of a SD card.. An example being, the timestamp in the file's metadata will be something like 2022:10:05:16:35:36
or year:month:day:hour:minute:second (note that UTC is the standard for time zones)
If you have a few thousands of photos in your photo library, in a purely logical, numerical sort using that timestamp is simple. But we humans don't necessarily use logic. Here in America we prefer month, date, year and a 12-hour clock tied to time zones to view that same metadata, so doing that same kind of numerical sort involves some background conversion. Now add in how Microsoft and how Google interpret the timestamps in a file metadata, all diluted by FAT limitations. You're using two different operating systems and different ways to check your file dates.
In an ideal world, you would be able to use all your devices (computers, laptops, mobile devices, etc.) that are fully compatible with each other or are all using the same operating system, but here in the real world there are too many commercial interests, profit motives, and just plain tribalism in mindsets. That leaves us to cope with compromises and workarounds with all of our gadgetry.

I'll tentatively suggest you try the Simple Mobile Tools Gallery Pro app instead, it's a pay-for version but only a $1.29
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simplemobiletools.gallery.pro&hl=en_US&gl=US
The point being, it has a much, much bigger feature set than the Gallery app. Be sure to go into the app's Settings menu to set it up accordingly to customize it to your particular needs -- i.e. there's a lot of options as to how you want the set the date appearance. Year-Month-Day or Month-Day-Year or Month/Day/Year and more, and use the display Sort icon in the top menubar.

If it could use a picture from the gallery then anyone who got hold of the phone would have access. That would be a very bad idea.

Nova launcher prime since my first days of getting an android....

Well my Padres took the 5 seat yesterday after beating the Giants, now we have a 3 game series with the Mets.

Much better. Even got the lock screen. Thanks Nova Launcher, Go Locker, dev options (DPI 284) Galaxy S4 Theme HD, Sense 5 Icon pack.

so are you having issues with your new phone? or do you still want help on your old phone?

if anything try and wipe cache and data for google maps.

Glad to hear you sorted it out!!!

I'm in favor of anything that will make the games a bit more competitive. I'm accustomed to losing so I'm not whining. I watch the Royals because they are my team. I will admit to only half watching their games that I mute and listen to streamed music and mess with this forum. The games are rarely close and just isn't a stand alone entertainment. I would not dream of paying money to watch them on TV or in their stadium.

They had a great run in 2015. I was always a George Brett fan. Him and Mike Schmidt were the 2 best 3B guys and matched up in 1980

Stop using Dolphin browser

UPDATE:

I found the culprit. After removing snaps (WTF Ubuntu?!) my root filesystem is only HALF used. NOT 90%+.

I like the RETIEVAL MANKIND'S BATMAN edition, aka the XY-930.

did you see one crazy fan jump(fall off) the railing trying to catch the ball???

they already identified the guy who actually caught the ball. some reports said that the ball could be worth $2.1 million bucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll have to watch the clip again. I missed seeing a guy fall but I get it.
Yep, that ball is already worth a lot and will be worth more as the years go by.

I think the guy jumped Funny stuff. Thanks for pointing it out.

As a parent with app monitoring on my child's phone, you can't do it effectively without the child knowing. Otherwise they will find a way to get around it.

FWIW, I use Google Parent / Google Child that allows me to set limits on app usage, see who he texts, and where he is at.

I tried to get us pretty much off the grid. Granted, I didn't go as far as to move to an amish community. But, we moved where there's no high speed internet available in the area other than 4g. We do have wifi at home. I have the Synology router hooked to an AT&T 4g modem. So, as far as it goes for the kids though, we do have wifi and it's pretty reliable.... I work from home, so it has to be reliable. I got rid of all of our Google Hubs and smart devices that had screens on them because the kids were using that to get around my blocks.

I was trying to keep my kids completely off of all electronics. But the school requires them to use a chromebook and PC (3 of my kids a chromebook and 1 a PC.) They are required to use them to pass the grade. I told my wife, I wish it was 1990. I wish this stuff didn't exist. But, it does exist and we can't pretend it doesn't. It's getting more and more integrated into our lives by the day, like it or not.

But, my objective is to make sure all electronics in the house are used on a daily basis. I don't want any electronics sitting in a drawer. I want it something we use and would notice if it's missing or has been compromised.

Open the play store app and choose not to auto update apps in the play store settings

Hi Dannydet, as I said in my post, I have already disabled auto update with no help.

@Dougb256

Cool!

Thanks for letting us know.

You can buy coloured plastic plugs for usb port and headphone jacks very cheaply.

I guess many people never use the port at home or work, so that's worth remembering here.

Some ports can warp over time as well, depending on the material quality.

Definitely solved.

Nougat is a pretty dated version of Android so unless you're willing to flash it with a custom firmware like LineageOS you are using an outdated OS. Functionally you're apparently doing OK as is but it is adding more risk to your online interactions. Also apps you're using should be still getting updated (independent developers support their apps much longer than Google does for the Android OS) but it's still a matter where there's a decreasing number of apps that do so. Give some thought into upgrading to a new phone sooner rather than later.
(..... Android continues to evolve so there's been a lot of improvements and alterations since Nougat but don't be surprise at some of the increased number of limitations Google has implemented in various background service functions. Google touts them as 'security and privacy' enhancements for the user but they can also be interpreted as Google asserting its oversight and data mining.)

Sadly I fear Nokia-syndrome will one day creep up on me, but that phone was over 10 years old and ran on NiMH batteries, which don't last nearly as long overall as a Li-ion.

My understanding is that carriers will only give the unlock code to the account holder, so if you buy a phone from someone else who tells you it is unlocked when it isn't you are out of luck. That was probably your situation when you called asking for a code - though of course they could have explained that without hostility (though I can imagine many ways in which that can be a crappy job).

But yeah, normally you need a code. I suggest you test it with a non-ATT SIM (to be sure don't use one from a virtual operator who use ATT's network either), and if it doesn't work get back to them and tell them you never received the text/email. Whatever you do, make sure it is unlocked while you are still a customer with them, because if you end a contract there is no guarantee they'll give you the code after that.

My phone just finished updating. It took about 1½ hours so be prepared. Now to see what it fixed and what new problems it caused.
