Sadly it's now being reported that not only has the team been laid-off but Kevin has left, and also been instructed to stop working on open-sourcing Nova (it was apparently part of the original purchase deal that it would be open-sourced if he left, but it sounds like that agreement was worthless in practice).

So right now it's working fine, and I have no immediate plans to switch. But presumably it's only a matter of time until some Android update will break features and eventually the whole app. Of course that may be many years from now: I have apps that haven't been updated for 10-15 years that still work, but they are much simpler and will have many fewer dependencies than Nova, so I'm not expecting it will last that long.

contact? just g

Apparently they are out of the particular product. She wants an exact replacement. Why is it that difficult to contact walmart?

have her go into a store. if they do not have it, they should be able to order her one. if they can't order it, then just have her ask for a full refund. i worked in retail management for almost 10 years so i know how returns work for these brick and mortar stores.

My pc is compadible with it throughout my NVDIDA adaptor, too bad I do not have the money hahaa.

That is all I did, doubled check it with the clock screen saver and works..

And so much more

Hi Ocnbrze,

Should have been more clear.
I used the One UI 8 phone settings/modes and routines.
Created two routines for on and off.
Turned off intelligent wifi setting for "turn on wifi on/off Automatically" setting so I have full controll of what is added for wifi spots. I have to add them manually.

Corca.

A decent channel that does not pull down all the toons, thinking outside of Adult toons animation or anime for once,
just all filtered throughout without the needs to get a blu ray player either,or hunt down anything that is old school either,
A decent channel that does ont pull down all the toons.

Or all the real pop culture shows when we grow up on, without the newest shows pushing us to watch them.

Sorry for hijacking your thread ironass.

Glad to see Vivo continuing to provide good software support for the X Fold3 Pro, especially with Android 15 still in the stabilization phase.

I know also Dropbox has a such a program build inside the app too.

Have you tried installling VLC?

I rarely change my desktop. Kept the same wallpaper through 6 different phones as well as 4 tablets. Using Nova Prime.

Bed, Bath & Beyond won’t open stores in California. Here’s why​

Published: Aug. 21, 2025 at 6:21 AM CDT

Bed, Bath & Beyond is opening stores again after filing for bankruptcy and closing all its stores in 2023, but there will not be any in California.

On Wednesday, Bed, Bath & Beyond’s executive chairman, Marcus Lemonis, explained why the company has decided not to open stores in the state.

“California has created one of the most overregulated, expensive, and risky environments for businesses in America,” he said in a statement.

Lemonis claims that the state’s “higher taxes, higher fees, higher wages” are unsustainable for many businesses.

“We’re taking a stand because it’s time for common sense. Businesses deserve the chance to succeed. Employees deserve jobs that last. And customers deserve fair prices. California’s system delivers the opposite,” he said.

California will still be able to shop at Bed, Bath & Beyond, but only online.

Lemonis said the company is investing in a “California strategy,” which will include same-day delivery, as well as 24- or 48-hour delivery.

California Governor Gavin Newsom’s Press Office said in a post on X that they “wish them well in their efforts to become relevant again.”

Bed, Bath & Beyond reopened its first store in Tennessee on Aug. 8.

I checked with Moto G support, and went with their "Software" fix. It checks your hardware, removes all installed apps, applies any android updates, and then re-installs all the apps. It took a while, but it gave me back almost everything I had as I had installed and arranged it, including nested icons on my home pages. Brilliant, because it eliminated all the stuff about dialling shutting the phone down.

The only apps it didn't re-install was a voip utility for sms from voip.ms . Voip.ms' s new free softphone app is a bug-free version of Groundwire, which I have used for years, which II swapped for VOIP.MS's free softphone. All my dialing problems have gone away, except one: I still need to enable speakerphone to hear and be heard, but the cellphone now stays on.

I am wondering if maybe I have a hardware problem. Any thoughts on how to check out the hardware without dis-assembling the phone?

was the "software fix" this?

and yes it is possible that your phone could have a hardware issue.

Final Fantasy three soundtrack is very crystal clear first time in ages since I fully listen to this soundtrack, I just recently download the video, through New pipe app.

Hmm well uninstalling, restarting the phone, and then reinstalling didn't work.
OK I guess I'll just contact the dev in the morning and see if they can offer any support here.

I did send their Support an email. Given that I'm not a paid subscriber, I'm not sure how quickly they'll get back to me, or what they will offer. We'll see.

If anyone has any other troubleshooting tips, I'm all ears.

It this day and age, it does seem more than a bit odd, to receive something and also receive a paper bill. I can't imagine any company trusting they would receive a payment after delivery. The gamble of online consuming falls on the buyer and not the seller. You buy... they ship. That doesn't explain exactly what is going on but the red flag has been raised. I would definitely be contacting the shipper immediately.

During video recording, I want to prevent auto or accidental stop recording, what is the purpose of screen timeout after 15 seconds? If my understanding is correct, screen timeout will also stop video recording.

Can you see the grey dots easily in between them. I can really easy.

What's cool about that one is you can't see the dot you are looking at, just the others.
