You can get Psiphon for PC(Windows) as well. https://psiphon.ca/psiphon3.exe
Psiphon is really the only free VPN I actually trust.

But I use Astrill VPN and Nord VPN(both paid) all the time myself, on phone and computer because I'm in China.

Help Files disappearing

The_Chief
I would have no idea how you would test this, unless you had a file you knew would disappear and a control file you know would not. The only thing I can think of is to run a memory diagnostic test on it... but that may brick the phone by overwriting the operating system. If it's under warranty, you may want to back up your data and talk with Samsung. Usually their first solution is a factory reset.

Which email service are you using? (i.e. Google's Gmail? MS Outlook? Yahoo Mail? etc.)
Along with email that usually also determines things like Contacts and Calendar. As an example, Gmail includes an annoying option buried deep in your Google account settings menus that you need to specifically disable, "Save contact info when you interact with people." It's just another way Google does its data mining (a 'trick' to automatically add contact entries to your list that you don't necessarily even want to save). So try looking in the settings menu related to your email service for something similar. Things like this are now typical, our personal info is the price we need to pay to use 'free' services.

Always on Display & Notifications

Mojo88 said:
Well, thanks very much to all of you!!!!!!!!!!! I have my new A53 5G and it works wonderfully. I am using the Samsung AOD and it works perfectly, I have Clock and Notifications displayed on the "Timeout" screen. I used Samsung Smart Switch (a neat program) to transfer everything over, and I'm a happy camper. ;)

Again, many thanks.

OK, my final question is: what is the technically correct name for the 'timeout' screen??? :cool:

Screen time out :) Ya welcome buddy.

Is there any Custom ROM that support LG Stylo 4 but allow it to have access to microg and signature

S
ocnbrze said:
so you need to be rooted in order to use MicroG (not sure what you mean by "signature). and in order for you to flash custom roms your phone needs to be rooted.

the main place to go for all things root is https://forum.xda-developers.com/. it is here that developers will post guides as well as custom roms and recoveries. if your phone has a forum here, then that means that there is a community that supports your phone. unfortunately, there is no forum for the LG Stylo 4.

however if you google how to root your phone, there are plenty of sites that claim you can root the phone. they kind of look sketchy since they are not coming from xda. but as far as i can see, the LG Stylo 4 has a locked bootloader and thus can't be unlocked.....so there is no true root method. all of the sites i see are bogus. i would not trust them.

and do not try KIngoRoot or KingRoot. they have been known to install adware and have been banned from xda.

also if there is a root method you most likely will need a computer.

Sorry I mean signature spoofing. But do you know anything about install and use xposed on LG Stylo 4 without root in order to use microg? Also how am I able to use microg and signature spoofing through virtual xposed?

How can I stop Gboard from sharing clipboard across devices?

svim
You need to intentionally disable the sharing function in the Gboard app's Settings menu

.screenshot1.jpg
Google's Gboard keyboard has a really extensive number of enhancement features, but so do a lot of other third-party keyboard apps. So you have a lot of alternatives to choose from that have their own pluses and minuses, with a significant minus to the Gboard keyboard being the data mining aspect. You need to specifically disable that so be sure to go into those Clipboard and Advanced submenus. And it's worth going through all the other menu options to customize and optimize how the keyboard works to your suit your own needs.

I've bricked my T1-A21L Huawei tablet.

Back with an update: The tablet no longer shows any life. Its dead lol.
Click to expand...
If it still of interst to you: tablet is probably fully discharged....

There is method that allows recharding The mediapad t1-a21l using fastboot and by calling a windows batch file until the tablet becomes charged agsain.
You will need "Minimal ADB and fastboot" installed in Windows.
Create a .bat batch file using the following code:

Code: 
" @echo off
:start
fastboot oem battery_present_check
fastboot reboot-bootloader
ping /n 6 localhost >nul
goto start

Help Help me identify these notifications icons

ocnbrze
no idea. we get this question almost on a daily basis. just ask the person to look in the phone's notification to find out. but i know that is probably something you do not wish to do.


the problem is that there are millions of apps each with their own notification icon......so unless it is something like youtube or facebook, most of these questions go unanswered. we can only give guesses or you might get lucky and someone might know what they are....but do not hold your breath for an answer.

Android 13 -- Media Player

Jerry Kee said:
So, updated my Pixel 6 to Android 13 last night. At the dl screen, it highlights some of the new features. One of the new features is an "updated media player with album artwork and a fun playback bar." What media player are they talking about? The only one that I see that is native is Google Play Music, which has been shelved, right?

Thanks in advance.
Click to expand...
I just started a new thread on this on the pixel 4 forum but yes you are correct a new media player is a part of android 13 ota install but the issue I ran into it does not appear within the app of either YouTube or the yt music apps I discovered that if I opened yt music app and then minimized it then a soft glow at top of phone where pulldown for quick settings is at poof there was the new player but not big and large but a smaller version could be due to my small screen size I hope this helps you some and also let me know if this is how it works for you on a pixel 6 that way if it's supposed to be within the apps then we all know it's a google thing and hopefully it will get fixed

CB radio was the communication "thing"

nickdalzell
mikedt said:
Something that is a communication "thing" especially around these parts, is the cheap Baofeng VHF/UHF transceivers. I often see them been used.

Price is equivalent of about $20-25 USD.

Around these parts, that's what pilots use. Ultralight pilots don't have radios built into their aircraft so portable/hand held VHF transceivers are used. They also come in handy during airshows.

Help Outlook for Android - junk mail!

The_Chief
If I received every DeWalt power drill I'm told I've won, I could open a hardware store! Setting Outlook to filter "DeWalt", however, won't work because - we all know - these clowns use numbers like "DeWa1t".

Outlook was fantastic at grabbing this stuff (no one with a cfghhgrrfy55y6556y@yahoo address actually exists)... it's just recently that it has dropped the ball.

Change # of rings

G
Thanks everyone but I still cannot get it to work. I've looked at various websites that say to do this: **61*901**30# where 901 is the number I call for voice mail and 30 is the number of seconds I want to change to. But I get first the message: "MMI code started", then I get "Call forwarding. Connection problem or invalid MMI code (801)" I don't know what the (801) means unless it's an error code. Sorry to keep harping on this, but it really is driving me mad!
