yeah on my pixelbook, i have never tried a different keyboard. i like the physical keyboard that it comes in. i rarely use it in tablet mode. i needed to type something i just flip it back to desktop mode.

just curious as to why you dislike the on screen keyboard so much.

Easy, customization. The default keyboard I can't do simple things like: after selecting a predicted word above the keyboard inserting a space after, inserting a space after using punctuation, auto-capitalization after ending a sentence, when selecting a predicted word if you choose to edit the word (say you select present tense and you go back to add an -ed to make it past tense) it treats the "ed" as a second word that you accidentally combined (example: I choose "present" from the predicted word list and backspace and add "ed" it will treat "ed" as a new word and auto-completes it to "presentEd" because it treated "ed" as a separate word and thus should be a name, "Ed".) Lots of corrections instead of it doing what I expect.

Help needed to explain a battery problem Galaxy Note 8

J
puppykickr said:
Even though the battery has been replaced, the batteries for a device are only produced for around as long as the devices are.

There is a good chance that the recent batteries that have been installed are actually just as old as the device is.

Even a battery sitting in a warehouse will age chemically.

At this point, if you are to keep using the device, I am afraid that the thing to do is leave it plugged into a charger whenever it is being used.

A 10' cord of excellent quality can be had at BigLots, iHome brand.

Leaving a device on charge continuously is also not great for the battery, but at this point it seems that point is rather mute.

As for the 'Factory' thing, have you tried using a different launcher?
This could help with this and even freshen the device up for you a bit during these latter times of its life.

Are the Developer Options unlocked on the device?

The 'Factory' thing going on looks like something that may be a setting in there.

It may even be just a quick setting tile in your quick settings (the pull down menu).

Thanks a bunch for the explanations.
We have decided, after reading those posts, to just keep the tablet until it dies.
In the meantime, we will look for a replacement; we even though of perhaps go with a small laptop instead.

Again, thanks for the help ... much appreciated! :)

How to extract SMemo Notes locally on Galaxy S7 Active

maybe try smart switch? not sure if it works on older phones.
Click to expand...
Sorry to reply so late, I've been very busy
I guess I wasn't sure what to write since you replied to my question with a question. I know nothing about smart switch except that it is a Samsung-compatible software.
It's not on my phone so far so I'd need to know more about it before going to get it on the Google store. Does it require using the cloud or being logged in to a Samsung or Google account to work? That would be a no-no.
Other than that - does it use wireless transmission?

The preferred solutions I'm seeking are:

1)__I would prefer to use file manager functionality to copy out the SMemo data files, so,
does anyone know where the the SMemo data files are saved, on a GalaXY s7 active phone?
Are they visible and copy-able via file manager software?

2)__Is there a backup software that can single out a specific app like sMemo to backup its files and can do it to an external flash drive?

I don't have much computer time available, so I might not be able to answer your reply quickly, but please know that I will greatly appreciate it when I get it! Thank you!

Autonomous - simplified device automation

WilliamTgs
Nice! I would like to have an app to control all the devices in my house just using the mobile phone. I have a lot of remote controls from every automated thing in my house, and I always lose them. I have one for my gates, from the garage, for lights in the house, and one for the second garage. Such an app that would permit me to control all of these just with an app would be great. I went to the shop where I bought all these automated equipment, to search for universal remote control, but unfortunately, I couldn't find one.

Distribute app privately to specific clients/organizations

M
I have a Google Play Console developer account and want to distribute an app to specific companies/clients privately.

What I'm not 100% sure about is what type of Google Play account the clients need, as I need to collect their organization IDs to share the app with them. Do they also need to set up a Developer Account so I can share the app privately with them?

Help Moving apps to Sd card

S
1. Tap the Launcher button to open the App Drawer and display a list of apps installed on your device.
2. Go to Settings. Select Application Manager or Applications. A list of apps available on your device will then show up in alphabetical order.
3. Go over the list of apps and select the one you wish to move. At this point, you will be presented with actions and details about the app.
4. Press the Move to SD Card button. If the button is already grayed out, then it only means the app cannot be transferred. If the Move to Device Storage is there instead of the Move to SD Card button, then the app is already saved on the SD card.
5. Follow any instructions that appear. Wait until your device finishes moving the app.
6. Repeat steps 1 to 6 to move other apps from your device’s storage to an SD card.

Can't mirror Pixel 3a to firestick?

Any generation Firestick has most media content and browsing covered.

A cheap Chromecast (from the 1st generation I have) can do various slide shows of Google Photos on your account, or cast photos and video from your phone (which I guess is the appeal).
Mirroring a phone's screen in Landscape mode is a feature whose appeal wears off fast.

Look for a used Chromecast, there very cheap although new ones are very little more.

The member in question has left the forum permanently (that's what "deleted user" means, and why if you try to look for their profile you won't find anything). So I'm afraid that even if they do read your message they no longer have the ability to respond or do anything with their posts.

And to avoid further confusion, I'm closing this thread. :)

If anyone thinks there is a reason to reopen it, please send me a PM. :)
