On topic:
I got a new ear, nose hair clipper I aboslutely adore been using it for at least six trimmings, it is really amazing and it does not do much harm to my face.
Also got a google play card from my buddy, who is dating my mother like forever, and I get to watch Twisted Metal, Nightmare before xmas, as well as Batman year one and 9 (movie that is also directed by Tim Burton, I had it on blu ray, but my ps3 did not work around with the blu ray system update, so I cannot watch any of my blu rays grr.. ) That was worth the wait, been so many years since I have seen 9.

I had Mint for a short while (during a transition period), but since they leverage AT&T, I had no service at home other than Wi-Fi calls and texts.

Perhaps they did at one time, but Mint currently runs on T-Mobile.

No, no, my friend, you are completely missing the point.

My problem is that the notification panel/top menu won't slide down. What does moving my photos to a computer have to do with a UI hardware-gesture bug?

If you are suggesting this just to help me prepare for a factory reset: photos are the least of my worries. I already back them up via USB to my PC. That’s just 'copy and paste.'

My real issue is that I have hundreds of specialized apps with custom configurations. I manage 3 businesses and 3 different areas of study simultaneously from this device. Reconfiguring all that professional environment is a nightmare that no 'Smart Switch' can fully fix.

So, again: the photos are not the problem. The problem is a broken interface after the update.
Merry Christmas.

Hi everyone!

My goal was to build fun.

For us all the have fun, laugh while simultaneously enjoying a deep game with an arcade experience.

Hopefully, I think I've accomplished that goal!

To move on to production, google requires play testing.

I need a dozen or more android specific testers.

No money involved, but you get to enjoy the game first and also get your tag, name or whatever you want added to the credits!

Just send me your email adress privately, or publicly if you want, so that google can allow you access.

Only give feedback if you want, however the app has to be installed 14 days for successful testing. Thanks everyone!

Yesterday marked one year since we heard from our @MoodyBlues. I am praying and hoping you're doing as well as can be. Moody you are deeply missed

@AppleUser some of us where having Xmas eve, remember it is Christmas.

Thanks Milo:

I would never have stumbled across that fix.

I found the user's manual online, so I should be able to figure out how most things work.

Thanks

Hello dear community,

i would like to introduce you to my latest game. A mouse has to collect cheese and water without getting caught by the cat. Some objects can be moved, others cannot.


Cheese Move - Apps on Google Play

have fun

PReviously I did a thing called Walktober, but this time around it is a special program with throughout the university:
I get the log in the web site: Here is my progress:

^ Total steps yay, I cheated and when I factory reset my app, it did not show up on the steps though, but approximentally it is about ballpark pretty much about 180,000 steps.


Also with that in mind I do get these amazing Winter Scene:





So for each log I do it paints a sence with the missing peices, it is okay for the time being too. But this is what I am doing for my health.

Thank you for you reply but now I must ask what & where is "the build location"? I found
Settings ->Developer Options -> System Tracing but "Record Trace" is already set off. The question is how did it start running? I selected "Clear Saved Traces" but it did not confirm what if anything was deleted.

Oh go into the app,and by Mobile and Wifi, toggle it off.

I always toggle off everything, it is an easy root for me, no root require.

I think I could nearly live on hamburgers.

Already cleared it up.

Dam it! I saw a recent post to this thread and got excited thinking Moody was back

Ah, let me rewind and make it clearer . On your Moto 2022, the lock screen clock isn’t fixed in one spot. It actually shifts position depending on how many notifications are showing.

• If you have no or few notifications, the clock sits lower, more centered.
• If you get several notifications, the system moves the clock upward to make room so everything stays readable.
• When you clear those notifications, the clock slides back down again.

So what you saw this morning — the clock moving up and down — was just your phone dynamically rearranging the lock screen layout. It’s normal behavior, not a glitch.


Do you want me to walk you through how you can customize your lock screen style (like clock design, font, or layout) on your Moto, so you can make it feel more stable or personal?




Thank you Copliot!

A lady I mow for told me a funny story. It worked out where she attended her granddaughter's kindergarten conference. The teacher relayed this story... She asked the class what is in your yard, green, and you step on it. Alie was quick to raise her hand and said I know I know. The teacher said okay Alie.. what is in your yard, green and you step on it. Alie proudly replied... Goose Poop!

Yeah, seriously. Have them backed up on my google cloud Incase if I lose them.

I finally got a reply. They said that they found the items should have been on sale. Now they're requesting a screenshot, of what? If they agree that I overpaid, why don't they just subtract the extra the next time I shop there using that same loyalty number?

It's the time of year that a pressure cooked chuck roast with some potatoes and carrots sound extremely good....

what do you mean that you receive and reply individually in group text? are the messages not in one conversation? do you only see individual replies and onoy send text to an individual? i use google messages and i have no issues with group texts with people in the group who have icraps or android phones.

try looking at your group messaging settings. or maybe try a different messaging app.

I do not like using much google messenger since it stinks sometimes, but yeah I have tried Next Sms like forever ago, and you posted in this thread. So messenger bit the hand it feeds you man.

vivo have begun rolling out the November 2025 security patch to their global models of the X Fold3 Pro. This update also has a Control Centre optimizations for Android 16 as detailed in the screenshot.

That reminds me of a story to share that pretty much dates me. When I was growing up, the neighbors invited the entire neighborhood to their house to watch the Rose Bowl Parade on their new color TV.
I'm sure it was the first color TV on the block. Kids sat cross legged in the floor, ladies behind us in lawn chairs, and the men stood behind to take in the new wonder of the ages. The Rose Bowl Parade in color. 🤣

Those are system files, not directly accessible unless the phone is rooted.
There should be backup apps that can retrieve messages.

Thanks Fox Mulder:

Not the news I was hoping for.

I appreciate your assistance.

Turn your phone into a beautiful, live sound level meter.

NoiseCraft shows how loud your world really is – from quiet rooms and offices to busy streets, concerts and roaring engines. Watch the arc gauge, follow the history graph, set custom alerts, and tune the app to match your microphone and your ears.

Real-time dB meter for everyday use

NoiseCraft uses your phone’s microphone to estimate sound level in decibels (dB). It’s perfect for:
* Checking how loud your environment is.
* Comparing traffic noise on different streets
* Monitoring music volume in your car or studio
* Keeping an eye on loud tools, machines or appliances
* Seeing how noisy a café, bar, gym or club really is

Everything is shown in a smooth gauge plus a scrolling graph, so you can see how the sound changes over time.

️ Clean gauge with live categories

* Elegant semi-circular gauge that moves like a car speedometer.
* Color gradient from cool blue to hot red as the sound gets louder
* Big, readable current dB display in the center
* Live Min / Avg / Max values so you see how the noise evolves
* Instant noise categories, such as:
---- Very quiet
---- Quiet room
---- Conversation / Office
---- Busy street
---- Very loud
---- Dangerous

The current category is highlighted in color, so you always know where you are on the loudness scale at a glance.

History graph & acoustic trends

NoiseCraft keeps a time chart of the sound level:
* Smooth line chart of recent dB values
* Adjustable Y-axis range (e.g. focus on 40–100 dB)
* X-axis in seconds, so you see how noise changes over time
* Great for comparing different rooms, windows, doors, or microphones

Perfect for audio enthusiasts, musicians, DJs, podcasters, streamers and acoustics nerds who want more than just a single number.

Smart noise alerts & thresholds

* Stay in control of loud environments:
* Set your own dB threshold (e.g. 80 dB, 85 dB, 95 dB…)
* When the level goes above the threshold, you can enable:
Sound alert
Haptic vibration

Use it to remind yourself to turn the volume down, close a window, move back from a speaker, or take a break from the noise.

️ Fine-tune your microphone & smoothing

Not all microphones are the same – so NoiseCraft lets you calibrate and smooth:
* Mic gain slider (–10 dB to +10 dB) to adapt to your device
* Smoothing slider to choose between ultra-responsive or calmer readings
* Optional calibration offset, so you can match another meter or your own reference

This makes NoiseCraft more useful for relative measurements (before/after, here/there, this setup vs that setup).

Themes & customization for audio geeks

Make the app match your style and your setup:
* Light, Dark, or System theme
* Choose your needle color for the gauge
* Choose your category highlight color
* Choose your graph line color

Whether you’re using NoiseCraft on a phone, tablet or in landscape mode on a stand, the layout adapts for a clear, studio-style dashboard look.

Share your sound snapshots

Want to show someone how loud it really is?
* Share text summaries (current / min / max / average dB)
* Share a screenshot of the gauge and history graph

Great for sending to friends, neighbors, building managers, bandmates or colleagues.

⚠️ Important disclaimer

NoiseCraft is designed for convenient, everyday noise awareness and relative comparisons.
It is not a certified professional sound level meter, and it must not be used for official, industrial, safety, medical or legal measurements.

Always follow your local regulations and protect your hearing responsibly.

If you love sound, music, acoustics and clean visual tools, NoiseCraft gives you a beautiful dB meter, history analyzer and alert system in your pocket.
