Z Fold 4 failure

Hadron
The_Chief said:
I had the Fold 3 and 4, but the phones are too thick to fit many of the specialized phone mounts I use. I went to the S23U and now S24U and didn't miss the screen real estate nearly as much as I thought I would (probably because I also have the desktop & laptop).

This is why I'm not so bothered about foldables: I have desktop, laptop and tablet as well as my phone, so the phone's purpose is portabilty. That's why I'm watching developments in flip-style phones more than folders at the moment, though I'm hoping Samsung will have a bit more competition in that area before I next need to update.

Help Telegram no more unread

S
The problem happens only in telegram groups with topics

This is an example:
Search for the group name in the screenshot, press the group name and you will see the different topics under the group name, press all the rows that has unread messages (example, the screenshot #General has 1588 unread) then press the down arrow button so it will "read" and clear the 1588, press back and repeat previous step for all topics that has unread message, now just scroll down to the bottom any topic and you will see the problem. Using this group as an example because it has topics created by the owner, public group anyone can view it.

I am using Telegram 10.15.1, just updated. Samsung A32 5G.

Lenovo Tab M9

cwcheese
Wanted to find out if anyone out here runs a Lenovo Tab M9, as I just picked one up during Amazon Prime Days. I bought it after my 5 year old Amazon Fire HD8 has gotten long in the tooth, with Amazon not doing any OS updates at all in these years. Apps were getting slower as they updated while OS remained static. So I looked a long time for another small format tablet since I prefer a 7 or 8 inch tablet when I travel on airplanes, easier to read books and watch videos without fearing the dread seat recline knocking over an iPad or laptop.

Samsung has effectively ended their 8 inch line and I didn't find the myriad no name Android devices worthwhile, but the M9 seemed reasonable, especially with a competitive sale price during Amazon Prime Days. At any rate, after a few weeks I'm satisfied the apps I transferred from my HD8 are snappier in responsiveness due to a fairly up to date Android 13 version. It's not certainly not a Samsung tablet nor an iPad, but that isn't what I wanted, just a cost effective reader and occasional video player for light usage.

Anyone have experience with this tablet, would you share your perspective.

Thank you for the suggestion! I've had to clear my cache partition a few more times since I made this post, as the problem does recur from time to time.

Only problem is, I used Samsung Smart Switch to migrate lots of apps over from my previous phone, so I'm not sure whether rebooting into Safe Mode is going to help me much, as it's not like I only just recently installed one app that could be a problem; there are lots of apps on here, all installed at once during that Smart Switch process.

Are there any kind of system logs or something that might reveal which app is causing my problem?

Credit Card Fraud Alert

joe71 said:
Back in the early 2000's there was a family consisting of a mom, son and daughter that were running an identity theft/credit card fraud scam in las vegas.
The mom/daughter would steal a purse (sometimes leaving a purse behind so when security/surveillance investigated it would appear a guest accidentally grabbed the wrong purse.,) once the purse was acquired. The mom/daughter would take it to the son who would be waiting in a van. He had a mini work shop set up, he would carefully remove the victims picture from the ID/drivers license and then replace it with a picture of his mom or sister.
The mom/sister would go to the cage and then get a cash advance on the credit card for $50-$200 . Sometimes they would hit two or three casinos. They also did during the day time when the casinos were busy and the cashiers were trying to handle as many transactions as possible and weren't really paying attention.
So one day this family arrived at a particular casino , they located a victim and thirty minutes later the mom is the main casino cage trying to get a $200 cash advance on a credit card.
This is where the scam came to an end. It would turn out that the cashier was kind of familiar with the address on the ID and the person who lived there. The address on the ID was that of the cashiers parents neighbor in their hometown. The cashier ran a check and found their neighbor was playing some slot machine.
The cashier delayed the transaction claiming some computer error. Security and surveillance were advised of the situation. Surveillance went back and started reviewing the neighbor and soon discovered that the daughter had stolen the purse, taken it to the brother and then the mom had gone to the cage. If I remember right, there had been two other incidents at this casino involving this family.
Security contacted the Las Vegas police department explained the situation and units were dispatched. All members of the family were arrested. Inside of the van they found dozens and dozens of purses and wallets.

Dangers of Auto Renew

AugieTN
Hadron said:
I've never heard of this before: is it a US thing?

I've had important things fail to renew because the card had expired and the company made no serious attempt to tell me that the renewal had failed (sending an email whose subject line is "Your policy renewal" on the day you expect the renewal confirmation email is not a serious attempt to warn you that the renewal has failed...). I've never had anything renew on an expired card.

I have no idea if other countries do this.

Like you, I've had credit cards expire and I get a notice. I have auto renew with Google Fi and if my card expires or the number change I get an email from Google Fi saying I have 5 days to add a new card or my phone number will shut off.

Oklahoma Schools Ordered To Teach The Bible

Windroid
On a related note: Half of US Republicans say that it's important to be Christan to be truly American. As an American, a Republican, and a right-winger: I find that disturbing. While I apricate the values of Christianity: The idea that you must be Christan to be a real American is, itself, anti-American!

I'm a Republican because I support small government, because I'm for free trade and freedom. Not because I want to shove religion down everyone's throat. I'm saddened and embarrassed by this poll.

Google Refurbished Pixel Fold

sachertorte
Right now, if the Z Fold and the Google Pixel stay the same size format, I am pretty sure that my next phone would be a Google Pixel Fold.

Edit: Ok, scratch the idea of going Google Pixel Fold in the future. From what I have seen, the next Pixel Fold is supposed to be going Z Fold form factor. Not much sense buying the slightly inferior (GUI and Hardware) Pixel Fold to get the Z Fold format. Might as well just buy a Z Fold.
