It's an interesting solution. Thanks for sharing with us.

Go to (on your S21 phone) - SETTINGS > BATTERY & DEVICE CARE > click 'BATTERY' > MORE BATTERY SETTINGS > PROCESSING SPEED. Here you can set to 'Optimized', 'High', or 'Maximum'

Have you tried Google photos? In Google photos slide shows is under animation and you can stylise how the slide show appears. You can even add music...... check it out.

You should use Google photos more, it's way better than most galleries as that is not up to android, but up to the phone manufacturer.

Hi everyone,


I own a Samsung Note 10 and a Xiaomi 11T 5G. On my Samsung I have the option, when I have open apps and the phone is ringing, instead of giving me a pop-up screen or a floating window answering the phone to have it in full screen. Now, because Xiaomi’s pop-up screen for answering the phone is way too small, I’d like to have the option switching to full screen instead of pop-up or floating. Is there a way doing that?


Thank you all in advance

If it's not in you phone settings, then there is not much you can do.

Also on the moto app, once you change your theme around, you can set it either to twilight to light, or have it automatically set as dim.

Yes, with Nova you can hide apps in the drawer, and you can also add other tabs to the app drawer where you can put these apps in case you do want to access them via the app drawer occasionally but don't want to see them most of the time.

Can you please explain why I just did a Check Update and the results say I am up to date as of a July 5 security update?

Thanks.

My phone says the same thing, which is correct. The August update has been delayed. According to Google, it will be released within the next few weeks. So all you have to do is wait like the rest of us. Nothing to worry about. In order to get the update ASAP, I tap the "Check for Update" button when I've read that the update has been released. I will post that it's been released as soon as I know.

Briizy, you will find a man who values you and puts you on a pedestal, instead of putting you down. I have been married with my Darling Bride since 1990 and I still wake her in the morning with coffee in bed. I absolutely adore her and encourage her interests, even though they are wildly different from my own. I support her... and your man should support you and lift you up: encouraging you to do more, learn more, contribute more. As you lift each other up, you grow ever closer. Any man who puts you down is the wrong man for you. We look forward to a good report from you.

If the SD card has gone read-only because the phone finds a fault with it, this will happen. Under the settings inside Amazon Music, it normally shows 'SD Card: Online'. If it's read-only, it shows 'SD Card: Error'

Also, there's a setting there to tell it where to save music, and sometimes it gets changed for some reason back to internal. That setting should allow changing it back to SD or external storage.

The amount of crazy things that happened whenever my S20 FE would turn itself on in my pocket (Note to Samsung: Accidental Pocket Protection does NOT work!) is well, crazy. I tried turning off tap to wake, raise to wake, Always-on-display at certain times when my phone is in my pocket (Bixby Routines), and even then I'd feel a hot sensation in my left front pocket and I'd discover the phone was on for hours, battery at single digits, and having sent two texts with the message 'deajojofaeujofaoje' to a few contacts which made for awkward moments, opened a few dozen apps, and activated Samsung Pay.

It got so frustrating I ended up going to 2010 phones for a bit then when they couldn't make phone calls anymore, went to a cheaper A series with none of that. The battery is even better on the $150 Samsung than on the $700 Samsung. You explain that one to me! I thought paying more gave you more. I feel miffed the touch sound is so silent and subtle, as whenever my S4 would turn on in my pocket I'd know by it loudly going 'BWOP BWOP!' over and over again.

Thanks mikedt - I did wonder if Bluestacks would just pick up whatever was setup on the Windows host machine, but it appears that isn't the case when it comes to hosts. The hosts file in Windows contains the entry I need, and I can access it fine from Windows, but I am unable to access it from within Bluestacks

You can use the Root Explorer app to edit your hosts as long as your BlueStacks is rooted correctly everything should run smoothly.

Hi guys do you know any android emulators for pc with no forced pop up ads while gaming?

Bluestack is pissing me off, it crash or force a pop up ad while I'm in game, really destroying players experience.
I buy it if they show ads outside the game but forcing a pop up ad randomly is not okey even if the user don't subscribe.
I don't want to be forced to subscribe to get rid of it.

Blustack is shit now compared to back in the days when it was smooth and player friendly. Greedy pigs only care about money nowadays.

You need to root your BlueStacks then edit the hosts file to minimize ads or stop ads completely.

I don't do any Android development so I'm afraid I can't really help you here, but I typically have pretty good luck with Googling the error message.

Have you solved your question? I think you need to go to the first repair shop, they know exactly what to do. Get your new vehicle insured so the insurance will cover your costs. I had a similar situation with an electric bike. But the insurance company helped me pay for the replacement of an expensive part. If you buy a new bike, be sure to get it insured. Here is the best insurance company to help insure electric bike. This way, you will be protected even against theft and feel safer. At the same time, the services will not cost you much.

Thanks. I wonder why the phone makes a notification sound (like a bubble bursting) frequently whenever I'm travelling. Normally I'm cycling, and it's in my rucksack so there's no way I'm going to stop and look at it when it does this. Is there some notification history I can look at? I'd like to turn it off.

Using Yahoo! Mail today is like relying on AOL Dial-up today. Why? Work still uses it and it's infuriating.

I prefer using a modern account with either Outlook or Thunderbird, but that's me. Yahoo is aging like K-mart and might not be around for much longer anyway. Time to at least be prepared for that. The data breaches they had over the last few years don't instill confidence in them.

You can't. The way it works is that it backs-up to the phone and then copies the backup to Drive.

Could the steps in this article work to prevent whatsapp backup to phone internal storage, and only backup to google drive? https://www.quora.com/How-can-I-dis...-of-WhatsApp-messages/answer/Rustam-Karimov-3

TouchWiz was Samsung's launcher before One UI. So it would be the default launcher on your Android 5.1 phone. (Or in other words, you didn't inadvertently 'turn it on', it's an integral part of the firmware installed on your Prime and is always running in the background.)
Instead of fixing the problem with TouchWiz, by installing Nova you're just adding a more feature-rich launcher on top of the existing one.

This ended up being the fingerprint scanner. I scratched off some sort of coating which now renders the scanner useless but it stopped the rebooting.

Never heard of such a thing.

I finally figured out what the 3 random dings were. it sounds like an NBC tone. It would happen at very odd times. I had all notifications off and it would still happen. I have a local NBC affiliate weather app and even though I had system notification settings off for that app, it had separate settings with the app itself. Once I turned the notifications off directly on that app, it quit making the noise. They were actually weather notifications like lighting in your area, or extreme heat today. But since I was not receiving pop up notifications, I did not know which app the sound was coming from. I have been 3 months without the noise.
