Thank you very much for your feedback,
RGB values are already available (You can choose in settings which values you are interested in, this avoids showing values you are not interested in and making the UI too busy), I will work on adding CMYK and Pantone

I saw The Killers of the Flower Moon, an interesting and chilling historical film about the fate of these Native Americans in the 1920s. The casting is impeccable, with Scorsese's favorite actors Robert De Niro and Leonardo Dicaprio , but the revelation of this film for me was the charismatic Lily Gladstone aka Molly.

There are apps that copy one phone to another, but that won't let you reset the phone then copy stuff back to the same phone because once you reset the phone there will be nothing left to copy back. Hence you need to back up to either cloud storage or another personal device.

Samsung have some PC software called "Smart Switch" which can back up the phone to a computer. There's an FAQ on it here. Note however that it can't back up everything (as it describes in the "what can I tranfer?" section), so I'd advise taking a second backup of important stuff (e.g. copy what you can to a computer over USB, or to your favourite cloud storage, in addition). I can't give any additional advice on this app because I've never used it myself.

In principle some stuff can be backed-up with a Google account (probably a Samsung account too), but I didn't find that reliable 10 years ago (when I was playing with custom ROMs and so resetting every few weeks) and while it may have changed I never got into the habit of trusting it. Maybe someone else can advise on that stuff.

It just keeps asking for the username password loop. I figured out the problem there, the tablet isn't listed as a device in the account she's using. Which brought us to another problem, google email addresses are disposable to her and she must have about 15 active on her phone right now. She can't even remember all the ones she's created and disposed of that might be on the tablet.

She won the tablet in a contest. It's been sitting, not being used for a while but now she wants to put games on it for her kids. I will try the hard reset.

Second thought, after reading the hard reset, that is how we've been resetting it. I was hoping we can flash on a new OS that would take it back to default but it sounding like a new tablet for the grand kids may make a good Christmas...

Click to expand...

by doing a hard reset, you tripped google's FRP. it is designed to prevent thieves from stealing phones (or when a phone is lost and then found by some stranger) and then hard reset so that they can sign in to their own account and use the phone., this prevents that. when frp is tripped you need the original account info in order to sign in and use the phone. even if you flashed a firmware update, you will still need the original account info.

here read this:

Yes, I agree it seems very likely that Google won't regard it as a priority. Looking on the bright side if the aid manufacturer decides to do something about it at least it's possible to update the firmware using the app. One can live in hope.

You and me, both. I did click one entry and it restored a Samsung Note to the Notes app.

Hadron said:

Are you hoping to recover some of the apps you "moved", or have you just reinstalled them all and are planning to "move" them again? It's not completely clear from your post which is the case, and I've never heard of App Manager III so don't know for sure what it does.

Click to expand...

I have restored many apps from the Play Store and after many hours have an almost? completely functioning phone. Photos, apps, most notes, --things are looking good.
When I do open an app, I must log in like it was the first time, but that's not too bad.

Hadron said:

But unless your phone is rooted I have to assume it's just using the Android 2 style "move to SD" function, and as that only moves part of the installed app if that is what it's done you'll almost certainly have to just reinstall from scratch anyway

Click to expand...

not rooted. reinstalling apps,

Hadron said:

Stuff like documents, music, DCIM on the SD card can just be left there. If you want camera images stored on the SD card you may need to change the camera app settings to tell it to write there as it's not the default - unless some of your settings were saved to some cloud account ad hence restored when you logged in again.

Stuff in the "android" folder is specific to the particular apps (all that "com.whatever" stuff is the actual package names for various apps). Many of those folders will actually be empty anyway, for others, maybe just try reinstalling the app and see whether it finds them? I've not had a removable card since Android 5 so don't know for sure how this will behave - I have such folders in my internal storage instead. But if there is anything particularly important there (e.g. WhatsApp backup and media folders) maybe take a copy for security before doing anything.

Click to expand...

Will do. This has re-convinced me of the importance of backups. The first layer will be a SmartSwitch backup once I can run it.
Thanks for your input.

I'll wait until an android-wide tracker is available. [...] If Google ever release something and integrate it with Find My Device then they'll have the biggest network of the lot.

Click to expand...

Seems Cihpo has you covered, they have trackers which work with Google's "Find My Device" for pre-order. I contracted Cihpo support to make sure I understood the page properly, and here's what they had to say:

Yes, every compatible phone (almost all recent Android phones) will be a part of Google's [Find My Device] network. You will be able to get an updated location whenever the Chipolo Point tracker will get in range of a such device.

This link (my affiliate link), according to Chipolo, gives a 20% discount. Just make sure you order the Chipolo trackers for Google's network! They also make trackers for Apple's network, and their own network.

Is there any free tool for edl mode?

Click to expand...

only professional service technicians have programs that can access edl mode on your phone. what phone do you have? and why do you need to access it?

I've never heard of either of those apps. Are they things Moto pre-install?

Why is the update 1GB? Probably because it's a full OS update rather than just a security patch. But don't worry, it will replace your existing OS rather than taking up extra space, and anyway there is nothing you can do to change the size.

Finally parted ways with this phone back in February! I learned a lot with that phone and the Nexus 4. Good times.

i know some people who have their dogs on a raw meat diet. not sure what cuts of meat they get, but it does sound more expensive.

Click to expand...

The concept of creating dog food with flavors like sirloin or filet mignon is primarily a marketing strategy aimed at appealing to pet owners rather than the dogs themselves. Dogs do not have the same nuanced taste preferences as humans, and their primary considerations are usually based on smell and texture.

While dogs do have taste buds and can distinguish between different flavors, their palates are not as complex as those of humans. They are more attracted to the smell of food rather than the specific flavors. The use of terms like sirloin or filet mignon in dog food branding is meant to suggest high quality or gourmet ingredients to pet owners who may be more likely to purchase such products.

Samsung have begun the roll-out of the stable Android 14, One UI 6.0 release. First to receive it are the international devices, G9**B.

It is a FOTA, (Firmware Over The Air), update and you can check... Settings > Software update... to see if it is available for you. Alternatively, you can connect to the Samsung PC suite, Smart Switch and check via that.

I did actually find the auto exposure options in the factory camera app, in the PRO mode.

Not sure they work correctly, or usefully. But better than nothing. Now I need to sort out why the PRO mode gets auto cancelled after a while.

Click to expand...

I was puzzled when you said that Pro mode didn't do AE, because it clearly does. Of course it mislabels the exposure compensation feature as "EV", which are the units you adjust exposure in but as such both the actual (auto) exposure and any compensation you apply are both in EV and so it's a poor choice of label (if they employed any photographers in their camera team they'd know there is a standard exposure compensation symbol).

I think this "Android TCL TV" is probably a smart TV with the "Android TV" platform built-in, so according to that list you quote it should be supported. But I've never seen one in real life (either a TCL TV or any "Android TV" device) so can't say anything more than that.

I'd start by looking at Settings > Apps > No Root Firewall and seeing whether there is a battery setting in there. If not, try searching the settings.

I'm being imprecise because settings change with both android version and manufacturer, so not knowing what phone we are talking about means it's impossible to say where the setting will be (e.g. I'm using a Galaxy s21, and Samsung are about the worst of the lot for rearranging the Settings in their own way).
