It's not like the PGA has any bargaining chips. It's sad for old school golf traditionalist but it might be good for golf in the long run. Different product, owned abroad, with the power to change a never changing game. I can't think of another professional sport that has had a single leadership that the Saudi might want but I don't know what stops them.... Pro Bowlers maybe. Crazy times.

Actually the last 5 minutes of the game was exciting.

NIFTY! I like gadgety-type thingies. TY Rob!

The players should be healed by then 🤣

Just remember that stuff on SD isn't safe: the card may fail (more likely to do so than internal storage, though from your experience so far probably less likely to do so than this phone!), and if you lose the phone the card is gone too. So anything important that's on there you should back up somewhere else as well.

I'm just emphasising these things because of the number of people over the years who have come here asking for help recovering data they didn't have a backup of, which means that the moment I read "at least I've put most of the stuff on SD" I feel obliged to warn you that that doesn't mean it's safe. Also in case you don't know, any apps that are moved to SD won't work on another phone you put the SD card in: if you have not formatted the card as internal storage only part of the app is moved, and if you have formatted the card as internal it will be encrypted so no other device can read it.

Did Rockstar Games put Tyreek Hill in GTA 6? It certainly seems that way based on the "CH33TAH" vanity plates.

I moved this to the dev area for better exposure. Good luck!!

When's the last time you reinstalled the operating system (that is, reset the device)? It's good practice to do that once every few years anyway. If it's been a few years: When the computer (and smartphones are computers) is having problems, that's a good excuse to get around to it.

Have yoy tried using compressed air on the charging port?

A women’s safety app? I suppose men don't need safety?

Two comments:

Permission changing: I installed Root Explorer, gave it the permissions needed, then tried to change the permissions i /system. I was shown the 'fun' message: Permissions change was not successful. Please note that some file systems( e.g. SD card) do not allow permission changes.

Turning off updates: There is a post on a google forum site by a 'platinum product expert' that says: System updates can't be fully disabled

Beginning to sound like we are all screwed...

One of my favorites :

it's stupid play store compatibility filter. It's always wrong, tends to allow actually incompatible stuff to work and cause issues, or falsely flags specific devices it hates as not possible to work. I haven't depended on an app store since Android Market EOL'd, and i second trying to use the APK file from a site such as apkmirror or apkpure. It's been my go-to for years, and best yet, no surprise forced updates.

You can also choose which version you like. If I actually wanted Instagram, I'd use the last version that sported the old icon as I hate flat ui design anyway, and I hear the old app still works.

If you feel you need an appstore, try an alternative such as Aptoide. That's about as close to Android Market as you're gonna get today. There is also SlideMe if you're into the era of Android 2.x which was back when it was truly open and free of Google, or F-droid for only open-source apps.

My vehicle and most modern vehicles support Android Auto, which uses the GPS on your phone, and does not depend on having one integrated into the vehicle.

Don't even bother with whatever proprietary nav is built into a modern infotainment system. they tend to either route you to a farm, or just freeze randomly. Especially the infamous MyFord touch.

could be skeleton loading, as in not fully loading properly. Since my Spectrum Internet upgraded my modem, I often get skeleton loads/not fully loaded blurries because it changes my DNS server to some oddball 206.x.x.x server, forcing me to use static IP and set it to my router's own DNS instead.

without a screenshot, it's hard to tell. you can take a screenshot in Android by holding down power and tapping 'home' or if using gestures, holding power and volume down.

at least you get an error code. That's more than I ever got from Windows 10 in the short time I tolerated it. Windows 10 just said stuff that was not helpful at all such as 'that didn't work' 'this app cannot run on your pc' or 'something happened' or worse yet, ''

can't use ascii emoticons to convey how it does a BSOD. stupid forum.

I feel for anyone who is out of the loop though. Nobody picks up books of law and tries to find any new law that shows up, just like how nobody bothers to read EULAs. Who would? It is all in legalese. I mean how is anyone going to find this as a ''no tresspassing'' sign and not simple random tagging?

ocnbrze - what you seem to be saying is that there is no way to delete the schedule using a basic system...

Hi Clementine_3,

Forgive me, but I don't see how that applies here. This will only prevent "additional" email addresses from automatically being included to an already established Gmail address list. In this context, what;s the difference whether they're added manually or otherwise?

Example: This is essentially the problem I've been trying to solve for ages. Let's say that I edited all my android phone contacts list to eliminates all email addresses. In short order, my Verizon cloud would, subsequently, involuntarily, re-sync all of whatever consists of my current gmail addresse with my phone contact list.

Tried it on 2 different pixel 4a5g. Bricked them both. Stuck on bootloader.

To get out of bootloop all you need to do is restore your original stock super.img and boot.img (and vbmeta.img if you want).
Sometimes when the bootloop is very stubborn, the only way to fix it is by flashing your whole original stock firmware ROM (same firmware version as the one you're currently running). As long as you don't overwrite or erase the USERDATA partition you should still have access to all your personal data.

And everything else is kinda convoluted at best.
Just sayin....

I don't disagree. Losing channels really hurts. Working on alternatives but it ain't an easy solution- happy to hear suggestions.

I've never seen a comprehensive list of apps and manufacturer-installed bloatware. The problem is that even if there were a generally agreed list of what actually is "bloatware" it would be hell to maintain the list: every manufacturer adds their own set of apps to a phone, this will change with major updates, may change with minor updates, and in addition carriers add their own crap. It isn't even necessarily the same for phones from the same manufacturer running the same version of Android. So keeping track of it and maintaining a list would be a major job.

But there's an important thing to know: not all system apps can even be disabled. The idea is that they are supposed to stop you disabling things that would have really serious consequences (e.g. crash the phone and leave you unable to log back in), though many manufacturers abuse this to stop you disabling their apps or even bloatware they've been paid to install (as Samsung did with some ordinary commercial third-party apps, in no way essential to Android, that they installed on my old tablet). But the point is not that manufacturers abuse this protection, but that it should not let you disable anything that would really break the system, which means that if you can disable it then it won't cause any permanent harm. Of course you may lose some functionality, but if you don't use that then it doesn't matter, and if you do you can re-enable it.

So basically, once you know what something does, and know it's not something you care about, then feel free to disable it. One caveat though: don't disable Google Play Services unless you are really sure, because there are a surprising number of things that depend on that and it's not just going to break Google apps but also a number of third party apps that use things it provides.

@Dave012345678910 can we get an update? i'm curious if a different browser worked or not.
