Yes. Install a different launcher from the play store

..remove your recovery details first tho, ie secondary email or phone number so you dont get notifications about account changes.

Have you tried using the 'Empty Trash' icon in the app? If yes and that's the problem, try going to https://drive.google.com, click on the 'Trash' icon in the left side panel, and in the resulting list that shows, do a Cntrl-A (to select all), and use the contextual menu option for Empty Trash to permanently delete things.
Now wait a minute or so and see if that opens up more storage space.

Drift Worlds
After years of solo development I am excited to finally say I have released my pride and joy, Drift Worlds. Drift Worlds is an arcade racer that meets real world graphics. It has aspects of both outrageous scenarios and real world physics. You will find yourself driving across desert plateau's, above the clouds across snowy tundras or deep in the depths of a volcano. There are plenty of levels that I will constantly be expanding on and with dozens of cars to choose from there will be plenty to work towards.

The Idea is simple. Enter a level and race against yourself or against the current record holder. You will work towards getting 5 stars for the level to unlock more and to earn more money. It also has real crash physics that will dint and damage your car the more you crash and fall.

This has been over 2 years in the making and I would really appreciate some feedback that I will do my best to take into account.

The look as just stuck with me. Here is the one I currently have on my Pixel 3a, holding up well since it's been on.

Fair enough, this is mine (i'm addicted to carbon fiber, you should see my car)

That appears to be an odd glitch, photos are working but videos are not. Try restarting your phone if you haven't already and see if that makes any difference. If it didn't go into the Apps menu in Settings, find and open the Camera app listing, tap on 'Force stop', and then find and tap on the Clear cache button. Then start up the Camera app again and see if that made any difference. If that doesn't help, do the same thing again but this time use the Clear data button. Using Clear data wipes the app's configuration and settings files, and its cache so it essentially returns the app to its original first time used state. If you made any alterations to the Camera app previously, you'll need to redo them. Hopefully that step works out.

(I'd suggest trying a third-party camera app too, but the pre-installed, Samsung Camera app is a pretty feature-rich, robust camera that also takes advantage of all the unique hardware features of the camera module itself that independently developed camera apps cannot.)

McLaren Edition looks sick!

Try getting on with FOSS or Lightning browser

Thanks but...no.

Refer to my OP--or this thread's title--for the reason.

Where the hell have you been, @EarlyMon?! You're missed around here!

Hi,

Having an issue where when I'm sent a calendar invite it does not appear on my phone calendar (widget or main app).

I have checked ALL normal solutions (storage is fine, sync is on and automatic, calendar is added etc etc).

I have a shared calendar in there too and things don't appear from that either.

Note: If I look up the calendar in a web browser, the event will be there, it just doesn't appear on my phone

If I manually sync it does then appear but as mentioned above, all settings are set up correctly.

HTC Calendar, or Google? The HTC widgets can work odd sometimes.

Huawei Watch GT2 hardware seems pretty solid but I'd be pretty hesitant about leaving Wear OS (broken and deficient though it may be) for Huawei's software environment. At least Wear OS has fairly broad support from third-party app developers.

Exactly, and it (i hope) will just continue to improve. Especially with finally better hardware configurations, and *maybe* a true CPU upgrade.

I'm not 100% sure Android TV is setup to work with touch functionality. Does the touch work in all other scenarios?

Using a Samsung Note 8 and I am current on my updates. I will try uninstalling and re installing it. I dont know how to do power management

Click to expand...

What version of Android are you on? Menu>Settings>About>Android Version

Check power management here: Menu>Settings>Apps& Notifications>DropBox>Advanced>Battery>Background restriction and Battery optimization. Change 1 or both settings and see if that helps.

Well, he's sent you a screen shot, so it's going to look bad to begin with. I'd have him send you a vector file of what HE created....

This version might be perfectly acceptable or it might not, but given there are so many other viable alternatives that are functionally just as good or better I don't see any reason to bother even giving it any consideration.

I'd say there is no way it could be that accurate. It may well be useful, but I wouldn't completely rely on it.

Oh, and the price quote from my local repair shop was $86. I just installed the $15 part by myself. I feel good about being able to do that. Possible side business?

I appreciate all of your replies. This morning Google actually emailed me and allowed for a password reset for the Gmail account. I have since done so and have been able to log in and proceed. It is now restoring everything so I think we're good. I had initially posted here for ideas on a plan b in case Google did not come through. Thank you all again for the replies.

Dude, me too, but I just cover it with a case anyway.

I thought the same thing. Maybe the edges still pop out? lol. I have a Carbon Fiber case, which I love, but been thinking a skin from Dbrand. Something that allows me to still get benefit of deive size and color. Only reason I went case with Pixel is it slips from hand too easy. I used to go naked.

I don't use a screen protector either. But these apparently come with them pre-installed.

Sd card was in use and the phone did not default the images to it which is really annoying

It could be, I tried multiple devices to cast from, and made sure my router was working fine. The only thing that fixed it was factory resetting the Chromecast (from the hardware button on it).

As it is fixed now, I can't document it of course. But if it happens again I'll remember to.

You can change the default assistant app to something else.

Thanks.

I am still in a quandary.. I'm not displeased with the phone but it still irks me that I didn't get what sucked me in in the first place.. It seems better specified as Oukitel apart from the 8mp camera versus 16mp in the original.
On the other hand I have had to person to person phone backs quickly. Would I have got that from Oukitel.. Doubt it. So there is some real support. What is that worth over the buy it direct normal price you could buy it. That is up to the purchaser.

Further to my opening post.
I miss the notification LEDs that had on other phones. You could tell by the colour if it was email, text or something else that was waiting. Instead, you have to open up the screen. Battery does last longer than the previous Sony I had despite a quite larger screen!

I actually think I'd look at buying an Oukitel C 'something' in the future.. There is a lot for the money.. Brand means nothing to me.. Just value.

But Hey.. Each to jus own..

How do I get the comma back on my keyboard? Just recently, the comma transformed into an @ symbol, which I don't mind looking for on the symbols keyboard when (rarely) I need one. I use the comma every message. Other posts elsewhere indicate pressing the space bar would bring up a comma on the suggestion bar -- it doesn't. How can I get the comma back on the keyboard? And if you have any insight, why would a developer purposefully do something so annoying to begin with?

Do you have access to the settings of the keyboard app?

There may be a selection that allows some customization.

Anyway, there are many, many, many different keyboard apps.

Depending upon your needs/wants, there is one out there that you might like.

Personally, I like Simple Keyboard and Hacker's Keyboard.

Simple is cool, because punctuation and numbers are visable on all keys, and are accessed by a long press.

And don't forget, you can have more than one keyboard app.

I use Simple for portrait view, and Hacker's for landscape view.
