Can't send emails and deleting emails doesn't sync to web

D
Ok, so this is what I'm trying. I'm emptying out my Gmail mailbox. I setup Outlook in a Windows Cloud VM (seeing I don't own a Windows PC.) I'm moving all the email out of my Gmail into a PST. So far, my mailbox is pretty empty. I just tested by deleting an email on the phone and one on the web (a different one) and both synced quickly. I've had this email address forever. Maybe I finally just hit Google's limit of how many emails a Gmail mailbox could hold... lol. Ok, so I know that's not true. But I pay for 2 TB of storage for all of my google storage such as email and drive, etc. I was only using a little over 1 TB of storage, so I wasn't out of space. So, it's weird if emptying out the mailbox really works. Maybe it's time to weed out old emails anyway. Maybe I'll just archive the older emails in the PST permanently.

Help Trouble installing F-Droid

puppykickr
F-Droid is a wonderful appstore.
I go there first when I look for apps.

Do you have additional repositories for F-Droid?
There are many more apps that you can have access to, and some are very very good.

Add these links to your F-Droid apps on all of your devices.

How to turn off auto reading of text messages out loud

H
I have a same problem, it happened when i connect my phone on my car. Im using galaxy A80 with android 11. Everytime a new text message appeared, it will always said outloud. My messages is on bahasa, so the speech was super terrible since the only language is english. So it ends up with the worst speech ever.

Even worse there is no option to disable it. Tried searching for the options, even text to speech or talkback, still happened.Your solutions aren't helping me at all. Trying to search for answers but there is nothing. I have no talk and tone installed. Its like there is no option to turn off this feature. Or this is the default feature.

Thanks so much android who make this useless feature. I just wanna listen to my songs on spotify, in my car eithout distractions. I wish they added the disable button just to turn of this useless feature.

Blank photos?

Check what format your photos are in. Because on some devices, the default is now HEIC for camera images and not JPG. On my Samsung Note20 Ultra, the default is HEIC. It could that your whatever it is app is not recognising HEIC images, but the stock Huawei photo app does, and may be why you're seeing blanks. If it is HEIC, you can probably change it back to JPG in the camera settings.


I believe HEIC(High Effeciency Image Compression) was originally introduced with the iPhone, but is now available on Android as well. As it's a more efficient compression than JPG. However some apps may not recognise HEIC as valid image files, and so need to be updated.

Nope. It's nothing like that. The photos appear sometimes but more often they don't add it's very frustrating

updating to gingerbread 2.3

A factory reset does not change the operating system version. If the OS has been updated before the update it will remain updated after the update.

All a reset does is wipe the user storage. This removes any apps you have installed, clears their data, and also clears the data of system apps (and hence returns their settings to default). It will remove any updates to system apps made since the last system update (as the updates live in the same storage as user-installed apps), which will return all system apps to the versions that came with the most recent system update. But the Android software itself is unaffected.

The name "factory reset" is a bit misleading: it returns the phone to "factory" state in that there is no user data on it after the reset, but it is the state that a phone with the current system software would be in when leaving the factory, not the state that particular phone was originally in. A system update overwrites the existing system, so the phone no longer has a copy of Android 2.2.1 that it can return to.

In short, back up anything of importance to you as that will be lost, but don't worry about the operating system version changing.

Thank you very much for your long answer! I appreciate it. I have learned a lot. And it is good news, as well.

Help Trying to connect Pixel 6 Pro to My Wi-Fi

J
No - that did not happen. T-Mobile put the sim card in it and then asked for my Google password. They installed an app called CopyMyData. Then told me they could not get the app to work because their network was too busy. Said to come home and do it. But you have to be connected to wi-fi to use the app. My Google contacts did sync when I connected to my pc with my charging cable. Otherwise I had an out of the box Pixel.

Recommendations for lesser-known web browsers?

Hadron
This is Android, so there is no actual Safari browser (i.e. the Apple browser). There are a few browsers that use versions of the Safari logo and try to pass themselves off as Safari, but they are fakes. Personally I would avoid a browser that is pretending to be something else - given that people use the web for sensitive things anything that casts doubt on the developer's honesty is a red flag for me.

I personally use Firefox mainly, though I have a number of browsers installed. It works well enough for my usage.
