Word documents or hand write down?

Anything I want to keep is on a computer (Desktop or laptop) and on an external Hard disk, offline when not i use, and at least on USB stick/SD card.
I'm always amazed when someone posts that their phone ha died and there's no backup. My phone syncs automatically with Google (data is always on so photos get to Google photos pretty much immediately). You can never have too many backups. Oh, and remember to check that backups are readable, theyre useless if you can't read them.

Help MMS didn't transfer from iPhone to Pixel

Not sure if the cause is the same as the method you used, but the app iSMS2droid for transferring SMS to Android says this in their FAQ:

Why are there no images in my messages?

If you receive a SMS message or plain-text iMessage, your iPhone takes the text body and saves it (together with some metadata) into its message database. This also happens when you receive a MMS message (or iMessage with attachments), but when saving the text body and metadata into the message database, it also downloads the attachments and saves them into a specific folder on your iPhones filesystem, and then puts the path to those attachments into a separate table in the message database.

This means we now have the text body and the information about its attachments in the database – but we don’t have the attachment files themselves. When you create a backup of your iPhone, those attachments get also backed up to your computer, but each one as a separate files with a cryptic filename that is based on the path of the file on your phone.

It would theoretically be possible to also import the attachments, but that would require you to copy your whole iTunes backup folder to your Android phone, as it is impossible to predict which files from your backup are message attachments until iSMS2droid actually opens the message database and starts importing.

TalkBack - How to use it to read eBooks and turn it on/off easily

Do you know how to change the continuous reading speed? Whenever I select the changing speed option it changes the reading speed without continuous reading activated, but it does not affect the continuous reading speed when activated. It seems there must be separate ways to change the reading speeds and I can't figure it out. This application is a disaster



Thanks for the tips its saved me forking out money for a fire hd tablet.

You now have a feature called 'continuous reading' which works for Kindle app. On a page you just swipe right then double tap and it will read through the pages without having to swipe through them individually. Not sure how well this works with other eBook apps.

Turning off a SIM on dual SIM phone

I'm looking for exactly the same feature. I've got a dual sim phone, but the "do not disturb" feature only works by turning the ringer off and back on at certain times so all messages and calls are missed. I want my work sim to go silent and straight to VM out of hours and my personal sim to stay on. I can't believe such an obvious feature is missing from a device designed for this very purpose. Does anyone know of any apps that will overide the DND feature in android settings and manage both sims seperately and not together? Cheers.

Custom Keyboard Overlay?

Hi,

I recently modded my Nintendo Switch to run android which is super cool because now I can run Steam Link Ect. which is awesome. One game I'd like to play is "Sea Dogs: City Of Abandoned Ships" which is an old game with a REALLY stupid control configuration that you cant really change.

The steam link does a good job at transposing the control scheme to the controllers but for example to open your inventory is F2 which you can't remap which makes it impossible to play on the switch.

What I want to do is find an app where I can configure an F2 button (and preferably a few others) to be over the screen so I can play the game like that? I don't really know what to search but I bet it exists somewhere.

Thanks in advance
Google keyboard does help, it does modify to whatever you want with the handwriting also keyboard suggestions too :)

Help Hover color and text all white!!!

FWIW the hover colour on my Firefox(MacOS) is dark grey box with white text, and that was the default, but I've never looked at changing it

I dug around for the web developer tools, change my registery on my window system, also I added in a few times, then I went to theme creator and now it is green writing :) Sorry I kept you all out of the loop, it took me about four days figuring out everything.

Dating apps?

It is so very easy to project a different or enhanced persona on the internet. It would be difficult for me to put any faith in a dating app. Perhaps they work to some degree but it would be my last resort. I'd put my faith and luck in meeting that special person in any sort of social circle long before I'd try online. Church, volunteering, clubs, sports, any sort of activity where you are a part of a group would be my choice of meeting someone special.

Help OS triple tap zoom seems to be limited to 200-800%. How to get between 100-200%?

Use the pinch zoom to zoom in or out as you like.

You can triple tap to zoom in, then use a pinch gesture to zoom in or back out to the point that suits you.

There is no way to adjust the zoom for the initial triple tap.

Sorry, I'm thinking you don't understand. The zoom is limited between 200-800% and I'd like to utilize the 100-200% region.

Data gone

Data is gone....
He died last season on Star Trek Picard.
OMG!!!!!!!! you kill me sometimes......LMAO!!!!!
I have Samsung Galaxy J7 pop and out of no where it says no data. Where did it go?
it probably means data as in cellular data connection. reboot your phone, most likely it is just a glitch.

phone won't notify of texts

I address my emails when I get around to them but I like to respond quickly to my texts. I well understand your frustration. Samsungs have a slider to adjust notification sound level under settings >sounds and vibrations >volume. I suspect you've checked for something similar.
Perhaps the phone's volume level is something you might experiment with as well.

New in 2021

P.S. I am not mobile. So I have everything delivered. So can not go to phone store. Customer Service knows less than I do.
I need someone who has the time to work with me on-going. Maybe it is my fault and not phone. I have also tried the S-pen it will work sometimes not each time. I am out of breath. Haaaheeee

La flee

so does it boot up normally? not sure i understand when you say "cutout"? are you saying that it is in a bootloop?
OK I push the power button to turn the phone on,and the word "UNIHERTZ" pops up on the screen but then the phone goes back off before it can get any further. I done changed batteries and the screen itself. It's getting power because the screen does come on just does not goes pass the "UNIHERTZ " logo
