Idrive. If I use smart switch I don't know if the files and folders will get dumped where they were originally.
iDrive apparently offers several levels of backup services, with the free level being limited and other pay-for levels with more features when you pay more accordingly.
Which level do you have on your phone? Which level does your wife have on hers?
The free and personal levels are restricted to one user, the Team and above levels allow more.

Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra

I've had the Galaxy Watch Ultra for a month, so I wanted to give a real-world review of living with it.

Yes, it's phenomenal. Does just about everything from tracking sleep and steps; to giving me notifications; to making & taking phone calls; managing my music player; to serving as a remote control for the phone's camera (not only can I switch between photo & video, I can actually pinch-zoom the camera in and out and double pinch to start/stop). It even tells me what time it is!

I've banged it against things pretty hard, too, with no damage.

However, I'm not sure how Samsung expects users to get a week of use from a charge without power saving mode - which effectively kills the background processes. If someone has the SIM option and is on a hike, not worried about sleep tracking and just needs the watch to last as long as possible, that may work out. I generally top off the charge daily... although I could MAYBE get 3 days' use out of it with my usage.

If the whole world didn't have my phone number and can contact me, it might be worth having the SIM option so I can leave my phone at home for shorter trips when it's still nice to make a call (like to the Darling Bride, asking her why she added flour to the shopping list when we have flour).

No regrets on the watch, though: and Samsung's $350 trade-in offer on the Watch 5 Pro made it a no-brainer. I highly recommend it to someone who might be interested in it: just wait until Black Friday to get the best deal.

Android 13 Security locks workaround

Are there any known ADB bridge commands for me to try. I used one that helped in controlling themes.
ADB commands are well documented on the web. But it's not clear precisely what you want: what "restricted settings" do you want to change? Is "restricted settings" DooGee's name for Developer Options, or is it something else? Your first post talks of the 3 dot menu being gone from "the app" but doesn't say which app. Without knowing precisely what you want to do it's hard to suggest anything more than "look at the adb documentation and see if there's anything that looks helpful".
But I need an Android 13 expert to give me good tips.
Or you might need a DooGee expert. There are always differences between "android X" and "manufacturer Y's software based on android X for device Z", and people commonly assume that when a feature changes with an update it's an Android change when very often it's a manufacturer change that comes in the same update (as manufacturers often change their UIs at the same time).

Junk Mail

They are chatty. I have United Health Care advantage plan. They are the worst at filling my box with trash.
I don't see myself getting anywhere near an Advantage plan, BUT in some states where they have minimal copays and minimal annual maximum out of pocket expenses, I would consider it. My state is like most states. Lots of out of pocket. SoCal, Florida and Oregon are three states that I know of that have good Advantage plans.

Help Is it safe to use no reviews app?

If you have more than one you are never sure...
Since meteorologists are never right anyway there is no 'sure'.
Some have better alerts or radar or features or layouts than others so all combined I have the equivalent of one good weather app for the five locations I watch. Besides, I just can't help myself!

Troubleshoot screencast of Moto G 5G

Not wirelessly unless you go the chromecast route. You can try hooking a USB to admit cable to the tv.
I'd check that the Moto supports USB to HDMI before buying the adapter (we know the TV has HDMI in, but that's all we know for sure so that's how I'm assuming you'd have to connect it).

A Chromecast requires an HDMI port to connect the dongle to and a mains socket to power the dongle.

Google deciding to drop support for an open standard in favour of their own proprietary one was a very Apple move, but it does show that these companies are all much the same.

Samsung Health

That does make sense if you're comparing different levels of sleep like REM, light sleep, restless, etc... you'd want the full length of time you're trying to sleep for comparison stats. It's definitely helpful to know how long you were trying to sleep vs. how much sleep you got.



It is indeed sad- but I'm not sure what that has to do with this post?

It's also sad when people are judgemental and lack empathy, without care or concern for the details and circumstances.

But it's all good. I understand the frustration but disagree with the venue.
Right, wrong place, I talked to you about this in another thread and you took accountability. I'm sorry if you were going thru personal issues, but over many years you have kind of done the disappearing act and we need you here. Water under the bridge at this point. I've said my frustrations and will love on. Please continue with the original topic of this thread moving forward.

Help Please Help: How to move SIM card from old phone to new phone?

I'm still struggling with my sim card size of: "Single SIM (Mini-SIM) or Dual SIM (Mini-SIM, dual stand-by)"

Here are the specs of the phone in case I'm reading the sim card incorrectly:

I just wish I could find an answer... 😢😢😢
I just came upon a SIM cutter device I'd bought about a decade ago when I bought a second-hand phone from Gazelle, and had to trip my SIM card to fit the "Micro-SIM" size. After nearly screwing the pooch, I got it to fit but it was wonky and finally I walked into a Verizon store where the agent happily gave me a properly fit Micro-SIM at no charge, since I wasn't planning to switch carriers.

Try reading this page for description of the myriad SIM sizes. Judging from the age of your phone model - discontinued in 2013, and the term Mini-SIM, your phone uses the old style "Standard" SIM card which telco carriers should be able to supply, although nearly everyone has moved their inventory to the ubiquitous "nano-SIM" which has the smallest border around the chip circuit contacts.

So my 2-cents is to not try cutting or trimming a SIM card to force a fit, just go to your carrier and tell them you need a proper SIM for your account, which you are going to maintain a subscription, and they will gladly send you a proper card that is programmed with your account information.

Super Grub2 Disk For Linux

Linux use to use a MBR program called LILO for booting into whatever OS you had loaded on your computer. It was real easy to use and write script to.

Then for some unknown reason, Linux distributions started using Grub. I had trouble with it starting on day one. It wrote over LILO and I couldn't get to my other OS to boot. I even talked to a guy who was some how involved in the testing of Grub and he couldn't figure it out.

The other day I loaded Fedora on one of my laptops and sure enough Grub didn't work. I searched the web and it was a common problem on the latest version of Fedora. I had to have the Fedora installation DVD in my laptop for it to boot to Fedora. I didn't even bother to try fixes that were listed.

Now I see Super Grub2 is out to fix Grub problems. I'm going to try on Fedora to see if it works. If Grub worked properly this Grub2 wouldn't be necessary.
