It is a FOTA, (Firmware Over The Air), update and you can check... Settings > Software update... to see if it is available for you. Alternatively, you can connect to the Samsung PC suite, Smart Switch and check via that.

As far as we know, the November roll-out date for Android 13 is still on.

New App: MyWeigh: Simple Weight and Food Intake Tracker (Version 1.1.1)

MyWeigh is a simple weight-tracking tool. I needed to lose a few pounds to feel more attractive as I was getting ready for my sister's wedding. That's when I downloaded the Reverse Health app to go through an exercise program and get a personalized meal plan. You may be interested in visiting the informative website https://reverse.health/ to learn more about weight loss. Since I was already using the MyWeigh app at the time, it was easy for me to keep track of my nutrition. Knowing how your food intake affects your weight will take you one step closer to your ideal weight.

Formatting SD Card As Internal Storage

Well support for formatting microSD cards was added to the base Android operating system back in 2015 with Marshmallow (vers. 6.x) so it's an integral function in the OS but not every manufacturer enables it in their phones. Don't bother looking for it in your Galaxy Tab A, Samsung doesn't enable it their products. Don't know about Xiaomi though, as @ocnbrze suggested to you, look in your Settings >> Storage menu to see if the option for Portable and Internal are there. It really does vary a lot because some manufacturers will allow it in some models and not others, or not at all. A lot of Motorola phones do, but not all.

What material must the case be made of to at least slightly protect the phone from the cold?

Hello,
I know there are solutions like The Puffer Case (or even more extreme). But I am interested in common, more affordable mobile phone cases: what material must they be made of to protect from cold? Polycarbonate (thermoplastic)?
Thank you!

I'm sure "The Puffer Case" is more about fashion than actual protection from extreme cold, just like with puffer coats.

How do I copy my wallpaper photo to my PC?

I get Bing daily photos on the lockscreen of my secondary phone with a 720p LCD screen, and they look terrific on it.

I think I get the same photo on my Win PC desktop, and you can advance them forward or back a few shots and click on the B icon for photo information or location.

Just in case you allowed Bing (Microsoft search) to do your screensavers on your phone.

Where do I send complaints and suggestions on Android OS?

I have a Samsung, so nobody will listen to me?

My Android 7 phone is great on Boinc, but my Android 11 (was 9) phone won't let most things run. WCG crashes, Yoyo and another maths project give up in seconds, and they've written on their forums new Android has a security problem. Something to do with a program launching another program is now forbidden, with no user choice! So only two projects will run and have work for my new phone - Universe and Einstein.
