Thank you very much I will read through it and pick what fits my needs. I am not a person who click on everything that pops up on a screen..I just want to reach a level of protection so I dont have to be too worried that it will get hacked by three letter agencies etc....lolI want to protect my privacy as much as I can on what is left ....

Well if you want to protect your privacy then your main problems are Google, Facebook and the rest. Hacking by malicious individuals comes after that (as @svim says the weakest link is probably yourself: don't use weak passwords, don't go answering social media threads about your first car/address/pet's name, i.e. common security question information, don't install apps without thinking about whether they can be trusted, etc).

The three-letter agencies you can forget about: you are unlikely to be of any interest to them, and if you are of serious interest to them the sort of things listed in that article or any other advice we can provide will make very little difference.

The fingerprint reader will periodically ask for the PIN or password, since the biometric is considered less secure. I don't think I could face the hassle of having to do 2 things just to use the phone.

My one complaint about the fingerprint reader on my s21 is the way they handle this periodic verification. With my old Pixel 2 when it wanted this the screen would light up when you pressed the fingerprint reader and tell you that the PIN was required. With my s21 nothing happens at all, you just end up pressing a few times until you realise that it's not that you are missing the sensor but that it must want the PIN, then wake the screen up manually so you can enter it (the message is there when you wake the screen, but by then it's useless as you've already figured out why it isn't responding). It's a stupid choice which makes the intermittent verification more annoying than it needs to be, and is something that the Pixel did much better. I don't know whether it behaves better if you use the ambient display, but if that's the answer then it's a different stupid choice because if a feature is optional you shouldn't assume everyone will use it.

Welcome !

Good day guys,

I was wondering if anyone will able to assist.

I am looking for a app that is cross platform compatible, meaning Andriod, huwawei and apple compatible to lock down phone apps. Also lock down what sites can be accessed. Also be able to still use mirror cast or some cast app.

I know google family works on Andriod and apple but not on huwawei. The other apps I have tried like Hexnode and MDM the casting is only supported for 30 min and then breaks and you have to reboot the phone to get it working again, that wont work as the phones will be sitting in a shop very far away.

Any assistance in the matter will be a great help.

Google Family may work on a Huawei if you sideload the app.

There's services like Net Nanny that might do what you require. It's cross-platform for smart-phones, and PCs.

Normally that means that you have tried to use whatever card and it has been denied before. Google play store is now making it so people can't use cards that have been denied multiple times.

Wow, I'd call back and throw a fit! February 7th is halfway to the next model! If more of these horror stories pop up, I'll cancel my Care+ and take my chances.

I'm not aware of the UK changing timezones. i haven't travelled anywhere, i was assuming the phone had a database of world zones and someone changed one.

WhatsApp does not have the ability to read your messages out loud (or quietly) at all, unless they are voice messages.

This is a phone setting. Check Settings > Accessibility > Talk back.

just an fyi apk are a file format that installs android apps to your device. most computers should be able to handle ebooks, there is no need to use an android app to do this. i don't know any of the apps you listed, but i'm sure they have websites where your pc can access them.

four apk that i told above is only on android

That member hasn't logged on for a year, so it's unlikely they will answer your question. But my impression (on a very quick scan of that post) was that the latter two show Settings > Apps, which may well be after removal, while the first shows a home screen with just a few icons on it. You do not need every installed app to appear on the home screen (for that matter you don't need any of them there if you don't want).

To be honest though the first one is a poor screen layout: if you just want a few icons on the screen you can put them at the bottom of the screen, where they are easier to reach, rather than up at the top. It's only iOS that forces you to fill screens from the top, and that's one of the most stupid features of that operating system .

There is no particular layout here. Based on the layout of the icons seems to be deducing that the reduction of clutter is the aim of the dumbing-down, which is not. Rather, the central aim to dumb-down a smart phone, and in the process create as many as possible difficulties to installing or enabling any applications, except those that are really essential, according to the needs of the individual.

Hello, I hope you'll have a lot of fun

Nice to see you back here

The Samsung launcher is called One UI Home on recent devices - it was probably called TouchWiz on older ones. On my s21 I can access its settings via Settings > Apps > One UI Home and from there there is an option One UI Home Settings. But searching for "home" or "home screen" in the system settings also produces this.

For the Android 12 version there is an "app icon badges" switch in there, can't say for older versions. I don't actually use the Samsung launcher myself, so don't know much more about it.

The second one is Google Assistant.

The first is vaguely familiar but I can't place it at the moment. It's not anything I have installed (actually I have Assistant disabled, but it's a common enough icon that I recognise it).

Hello, I would like to know if you still have the lg D950 twrp file?

Chargebacks are the primary tool banks use to resolve credit card payment disputes. Most clients and business owners heard about this definition before. So I decided to discover more about what a chargeback is and came across this article: https://chargebackhit.com/blog/what-is-a-chargeback/ where I found lots of helpful information about chargeback reason codes, its prevention, etc.

I don't know what carrier you have, but T-mobile has DIGITS for LTE connected wearables. You may have to reconfigure it there (or your carriers version) or in the wearable app.

usually most phones will have 5G in their model name. if it does not have it, then i would be suspicious if someone claims it to be.

wow that is a pretty big p....wait sorry i forgot where i am........lol

i have no clue. i use waze on and off thru out the years never seen a kitty that big before.

Doesn't seem to be the problem, unless the cookies are clearing, automatically, when I turn the screen off. My phone cleans itself once a week on Saturday nights.

Check your browser settings.
Some clear the cookies when the brower is closed, some can be set to never allow them in the first place.

I found a solution.
I used an Audio Converter app and just changed the bitrate to something else and the new files are now working ok in Pulsar.

I want to share with you a new application. It helps in dealing with time zones and time differences. It works simply) You add any cities, and the application shows the current time in these cities. The application will be very useful for you if you often travel, or call up with loved ones, or work in other time zones! Try it, you will need it!

I want to use the android chrome browser without any google login. I press the top right round button (in screenshot example) and the menu does not have any way to logout.

Do not have sign out button on android chrome. (There is a sign out button in pc chrome, but not in android chrome.)

1. How to log out in android chrome?

2. how to remove the 2 other rows "session expired"

Click to expand...

Hmm... Season expired, presuming that session did expire on their own, never in my years I did get that error message, probably with someone else sneaking in, try logging out of all accounts, before anyone did attempt to, could be a glitch on that end, how many devices did you log in from your accounts?
If you have multipule log ins on different devices, sometimes when they do idle, then it will say "Session expired.." Try logging out of your different devices first, and limit yourself with that, see if that did help out.

2) You want a Chrome browser that does not allow that, I am afraid the only exception is either fire fox or even edge itself..

Nothing lasts forever, I'm afraid.
