If you can't sort this out using just your phone you can use an external device to share the connection.

Something like this Slate Plus (GL-A1300) Ultra Efficient VPN Encrypted Gigabit Travel Router

Wow, that's going to suck because all her app data, photos, everything will be his to download & peruse at his leisure after this is done. Just from a personal security perspective, I'd be more inclined to ship the phone back & forth. Good thought but I don't know the buyer at all...

Is there some setting or app that gets Android to always display the newest notification on top in chronological order? Thanks.

Must be a Samsung thing, because my Motorola RAZR+ and the Pixel 5 before it both sort notifications by default in newest-first, descending order.

In any event, I'm sure there is an app available that does what you want... just a matter of finding it.

Have you tried to swipe it? It just looks like a tab of some kind.

I had the same thought. I'm not familiar with the OP's device, but many Motorola phones have a feature called "Sidebar." Its purpose is to have a quick-access slide-out container with apps of your choosing. If you have no apps in it, it will act as you describe (i.e., just sits there doing nothing). Try going into device Settings and search for "Sidebar" (w/o the quotes) in the "Search settings" bar. If you find it and it's ON, turn it off and see if the semi-circle goes away.

You'd expect there to be an option in the camera's settings somewhere, but on my Samsung it's actually not in there that I can see, but rather hidden behind 3 layers of buttons or icons and only findable in selfie mode:

On my s21 if you open the camera and then change to the selfie camera (something I never do) and then touch the filter/touch-up tool icon at the top (little magic wand thing) you get 3 options along the top of the screen: filters, face and colour tone. If you select "Face" one of the options along the bottom is "smoothness", which is my guess as to where the problem lies. You can set the slider down to 0, or else there is an on/off toggle for all of these face modification features (little word "on" in the bottom right corner). This is with a different model (running Android 13, in case that's relevant) but I'm hoping the camera interface on your phone is similar.

And yes, I do find it worrying that the skin smoothing filter was on by default, especially given how many steps were required to even find it. Given the problems that edited photos cause for people's self image I'm rather unhappy about such editing being applied automatically even if people aren't aware of it.

Enjoy the game!)

The files you see are likely from Garmin Connect, a fitness app. They might be old backups from December 1979. You can delete them safely. To do this, open Files app, go to "Documents & Other," find the folder, and tap the trash can icon.

To prevent future backups, open Garmin Connect, tap three lines, choose "Settings," "Device Settings," "Backup & Restore," and turn off "Automatic Backup."

I really don't trust online videos to be 100% correct.
I've used a firestick for years but I never bothered with this type of setup because I have my PC setup as a media server, where I store my entire movie and music library that play on my TVs and mobile devices. You should look into that as an alternative. 4TB storage and I can always add more as needed.

Has anybody found a working alternative on Android 13?

its dictionary app......there are tons of them out there. just try one.

Thank you for your detailed response Hadron. I did try a SIM from O2, and has the same problem. I also tried a SIM from Lebara, which uses the EE network, but their SIM could not even register on the network.

All the phone repair shops that I visited were completely baffled by this problem. The fact that my GiffGaff SIM worked in another phone leads me to believe that my S8 is slowly "dying". I went ahead and purchased a Pixel 6a, primarily because it had good reviews and I wanted a small screen size.

Hi guys!

This is my first game - Jump Astronaut.

Please evaluate - the idea is simple - you need to jump on the planets,

to get more points.

To jump, you need to click on the screen when the player's head is directed in the direction in which you want to jump.

Thanks in advance to everyone who appreciates

It would be pretty crap encryption if you could decrypt it without the original app and without knowing the password (unless you have serious resources available to you: do you know anyone at GCHQ or the NSA who'd be willing to do some moonlighting?).

Did you reboot the phone after making the change?

Hi all, Newbie here. I am working on an app that involves picking a mp3 file , saving its Uri to a database, and then later selecting the file from the database and playing it with the mediaPlayer. This is all similar to creating a playlist from the music stored on the device. In this regard I have several questions.

I can only get the mediaPlayer to play the mp3 if the Uri is an audio based Uri. The filePicker seems to want to return a document based Uri. So, Is there a way to get the mediaPlayer to play the file based on the content/document based Uri?

Is there a simple way to convert the document Uri into an audio based Uri?

Is there a way to get the filePicker to return an audio based Uri?

Would all this be easier if I used the exoPlayer instead of the builtin mediaPlayer?

Thanks for any advice and/or code samples.

I've used Google Fit on my phone in the past without a watch and it kept track of steps

Wow.

ARGH! This root nonsense. Everything needs rooting to actually work. Android really sux. The security on these things is over the top like Linux. Android 4 was a security mess, 7 was perfect, then they went too far.

Hehe I'm still using the infamous Rosemary font on mine! (Hey it was the default when I got my SIII years ago and it just looks so personal and fits me). I also use Samsung Messages and it definitely changes. It also changes on my Watch.

I went with a Z Flip 4. I have been spoiled by Samsung since the SIII, and the Flip is more my speed with its unique design that can still fit a pocket properly yet still turn into a huge 6.7" smartphone if needed, and if not, the cover screen allows it to function like a dumbphone if you want, and there's a satisfaction one gets by hanging up on a telemarketer by slapping it shut.
