Samsung Watch with bluetooth bad receiption?

hard to say as far as more expensive headphones would work better or not. but i always say you get what you pay for. my samsung buds work great and never had any issues with bluetooth connectivity.

curious does your headphones work ok on your phone vs your watch?

I use LG headphones with my phone. I listen to music all day when I'm working, so they work well. And, I like that they have the part that sits on my shoulders. When I work, I always leave one earpiece out so I can hear my phone or chatter in the office... although since covid I've been working remote over a year now. But still need to hear my phone ring (and I use a separate cell phone for work.) I was using headphones like the running headphones while working but, since there was nothing in the middle they hooked to, when I left one side just hanging, it was pulling on my other ear. So, then I was trying to get creative by getting a clip to clip the wire of the headphones hanging to a collar. But, it was just weird. The LG headphones just work well during the day while I'm sitting at my computer working.

I just bought some soundcore running headphones. I didn't run today. But I tried them and held my arm away from the headphones and they seemed to work good. Hopefully I'll go for a run tomorrow and see how well they work.

Getting assistant to read recipes

I cannot get google assistant to read recipes out loud on my Pixel 5. I've followed Google instructions but when I say start cooking, it just does a search for sourdough starters! Has anyone got a simple set of instructions for dummies? I think I'm probably missing something obvious and I hate tech getting the better of me!

Help What app can require password or fingerprint before opening a file?

After unlocking the phone by password/fingerprint, is it possible to have another layer password/fingerprint request whenever I tap an app?

For example, if I tap SMS/whatsapp/gallery app, I would like it to request for password/fingerprint before opening the app.

(I am using Samsung Note 8)

Thanks.

I use a freebie called Norton App Lock, I like it because it's very simple and doesn't nag me to buy other Norton apps.

APP Marketing

Wow, I didn't even know that we can actually create the forums in order to promote our own products or apps. That is really nice! I don't remember which forum that was, however I remember that certain forums are totally against this kind of things. They just do not tolerate the users promoting anything through their own forums. That is why i started to like this forum even more. However do you think that promoting something through the means of a forum is a great marketing strategy? I am not really sure, as the audience of the forum is not that big. I think that even the banner ads from https://www.abyssale.com are a bit more useful.

Bible Gallery

@olbriar Could, you, please, create channel for this app?
All set!! :)
https://androidforums.com/apps/bible-gallery.18755/

You can do it yourself. Install this exension for Chrome, browse to your app in Chrome, and a new button (Discuss) will now show up next to the install button. Tap that and it will create a channel here at AF. That is really all @olbriar and I do for apps without channels.

[App Support] KingRoot: The One-Click Root Tool for Almost All Devices

yep......this will not root anything older then 5.0....sorry

plus these one click root methods, i never trust. it is better to do the work and root the hard way. this way you learn the process and by learning, you will lower the risk of something going wrong. one clicks made people lazy and when something goes wrong, they have no clue how to fix it.

anyways, the newer android os's are more difficult to root. this is a good thing as it also lowers the risk of somebody hacking your phone. but is bad as it makes rooting more complicated. also rooting now days is device specific.

if you want to root your device please head on over to xda developers forum. this is where most of your developers will hang out. they are the ones who look for exploits to root devices and then they publish their findings there.
thanks for your imput, happy thanksgiving

Unlock with no PIN

I have set up my brand new Teclast P80h tablet (using my OnePlus 7) as per the tablet's instructions. The setup finished successfully.
However, I now find the tablet demands a PIN to unlock. I cannot remember having used any PIN, and if I did there is only one possible number which the tablet doesn't accept.
How can I unlock without a PIN?
P.S. The reset hole doesn't reset but only restarts.
you will have to hard rest the tablet:

Password manager - browser integration - Samsung smartphone

(Up front... I am deeply sorry for the late reply. I *thought* I replied, until I got back on the forum and noticed that the text was grey and I could still hit the reply button - again sorry!! Really ashamed...)


-

Again many thanks !
Truly appreciate the elaborate reply.

I will investigate this further. For me, a change of password manager is an important step and I won't do that easily.
All password managers say they are great and I have not found any reviews disqualifying any password manager.
The devil often is in the details.
In the past I tried two other password managers for a short while, but they could not even log in into my bank account.
One even managed to first import the credentials, but some relaunches later, all the credentials were gone and/or the buttons to fill fields strangely showed up floating elsewhere... instead of near the fields that should be filled.
After numerous emails with support and after some re-installs, I gave up and returned to Roboform.

Anyway, this is a few years back...

As for Samsung Internet Browser, probably I should change to Chrome, or Brave, of Vivaldi.

28-11-2020 edit:
I gave LastPass a try and I discovered that it doesn't have a desktop UI, which is my strong preference.
Gave Keeper a try, after importing data from my current password manager successfully and trying out sites, Keeper told me it had no entries for those sites, although they were definitely listed within Keeper. So, I gave up on Keeper, too much workload to visit each site and manually re-save the credentials. I intended.. to try out another password manager (1Password), but the support responses were terribly slow: wait for a day each time, the response prompted another question.
Hence I returned to Roboform and forget about the auto-filling.
BTW: I also tried Brave. Probably it is a matter of taste. No offense meant but likely I needed to go thru the tweaks listed on ghacks or so. I am now using Edge on my PC and switched to Edge on Android. It is really fast!! I think Edge is a bit underrated. Review sites usually recommend Chrome, Brave, Vivaldi for Android, but I am very positive about Edge.
Could be because I am using Edge on my PC though.
