Transferring browser tabs

Yes both connected via home wi-fi. I found that your method is supposed to work for Chrome but it appears it only works for tabs open on a PC to sync to a phone. So it's looking more and more like I'm out of luck for get these tabs synced the easy way and will have to do it the hard way. I do appreciate you chiming in.

Samsung One UI/Android 13 'app has been closed because it has a bug' issue

This seems to happen with certain older apps I still like to use, and only on Android 13/One UI 5.1 devices. It's not a crash, because then it'd say 'app has stopped/app keeps stopping' instead. In this case, it shows 'Angry Birds has been closed because it has a bug' which appears to be a Device Care issue, perhaps it's not liking the resources it wants to use, or it's using too many bits of RAM/CPU, in either case, Device Care is closing the app assuming something is wrong. However, if running Android 12 or below, with One UI 4 or below, it runs without an issue.

Angry Birds 1.6.2 isn't the only time this has popped up, but I do not know how to circumvent the issue. I've turned as many things off in Device Care as I can, but it still happens. The wording 'has been closed' vs ' has closed/stopped' indicates something actually shut the app down, not the app actually crashing. I have had apps crash but the wording is very different, saying 'ES File Explorer has stopped'.

Does anyone know any method to circumvent whatever idiot proofing Samsung has apparently enabled that is shutting apps it thinks 'has bugs' down? I know for certain Angry Birds 1.6.2 has NO bugs at all. It ran fine until the last security patch that upgraded One UI from 5 to 5.1.

EDIT: Fixed the issue by setting battery optimization to unrestricted. Stupid Samsung!!!

Grammarly.. Yeah... WTF?

You've downloaded an APK of this app and it's not installing?

If you try to install the APK from My Files, you will probably see something saying 'security policy has prevented My Files from installing this app' with options to allow or deny. If you tap allow, it will present some prompts with 'allow once' or 'allow all the time from My Files' and then work. It's no different from having to check 'unknown sources' in older versions of Android.

If it's saying something like 'This app has been closed because it has a bug' that's stupid Samsung Device Care closing it because it doesn't like the app. I have not found any method to circumvent that particular error, it's not crashing because then it'd say '[app name] has stopped' or '[app name] keeps stopping'. The 'closed because it has a bug' has something to do with Device Care thinking something is wrong with the app, maybe it's using resources it doesn't like, but either way it shouldn't even happen, but that's Samsung for ya.

Samsung Fold4-Stable Android 14, One UI 6.0 rolling out

I swonney I keep reading the title as 'flip 4'.

At one time Samsung devices if set to auto download on wifi would only let you bypass updating for like three times then it'd force it. The only solution was to turn off auto download over wifi. If you turn screen overlay permission off the updater 'app' it disables the pop-ups. Doesn't stop it from still counting down and updating if set to auto download over wifi though.

Are pdfs just that way?

I say that about a lot of things, such as streaming services, preferring my collection of DVDs, Blu-Rays, and VHS tapes over paying multiple subscriptions to 'have it all' and end up paying more than a monthly cable price in the end, but people just look at me like I got two heads.

But the reality is the first severe thunderstorm hits, knocks out their internet, and they're sitting staring at a black box while I can still enjoy a movie on VHS or a TV series on DVD.

I also make sure my offline library extends to my phones and tablets and laptops. I got one Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (2012) filled with my entire Amazon book library. No wifi needed. Original, factory loaded app too. No forced updates or DRM.

My phone has 2K of MP3s on it. Don't need to rely entirely on streaming.

Reviews, I'm tired of being asked to leave one

The exceeded connections limit was just one of the many issues I had with Thunderbird. I just went back to what worked for me and still works today. I'll use what continues to work for my entire life if possible. While 3G shutdowns might have killed my HTC Thunderbolt, they can't come into my home and force me to upgrade my wifi router. If the servers for my accounts ultimately break compatibility to those apps I am comfortable using, I'll find other means. I don't give up. I fight constant change. If I'm happy using what I have been for years, just let me do that.

These days, I only consider buying new if 1) the old solution truly does not exist anymore and 2) if it's an actual improvement over what I've been doing. Colour TV was obviously an improvement over black and white TV, but I don't see the improvement with a 4K or other TV that will break in a couple of years when all the content I prefer to watch is standard def and just looks ugly on a modern TV.

Modern cars are too full of screens and 'smarts' I don't want. Plus are totally uncomfortable on long trips. My girlfriend lives 540 miles from me. I still am looking out for an old Buick LeSabre (the last to keep the truly-American couch-like conservative interiors and floaty rides until the marque got replaced) to replace my Saturn ION. I don't like my back being sore or my butt going numb because every car made today is stiff as a board and rides like a military Jeep in that you feel every bump.

If a 'modern' solution just takes something that worked fine and was simple and just makes it endlessly frustrating and worse than it replaces, well, it's not an improvement I want. That's more common now than it ever has been in my entire life.

No Sound when watching TubeMate videos

In the old days (well, if you consider 2009 old, it's still yesterday in my view) there were 'alternative' sites you could plug a YouTube URL into and let it play so even if your browser were 'unsupported' (which wasn't always an Internet Explorer thing, it used to blacklist and block Netscape 9 because it wasn't Firefox to Google) you could get past that. At one point Metacafe was how I viewed YouTube videos that were either country-blocked, private, or blacklisted because they hated Windows 98 SE (I never liked Windows XP so I kept 98 SE going until the rise of SSL pretty much ended it)

Using DDG isn't any harder than Youtube, if you keep the 'video' tab bookmarked, and just search your video there and play it without having to leave the site. It's pretty instant, and it works also for other platforms if you're into the Tiktok or Facecrap.

I pretty much am forced to do it that way if using any Windows 7 machine because today's YouTube is so full of code that even with 8GB of RAM, and a four-core i5 isn't even enough to have it load less than 10 minutes with the browser saying 'not responding' a few times before you can click anything.

It's only useable with an SSD-equipped system. I don't fully trust SSDs. "spinning rust" can always be made to work, while when an SSD dies, it dies for keeps. I will always trust spinning rust more. I got systems well over 30 years old that work fine with their original HDDs. I have already lost a couple of systems due to SSD failures. One is still in the 'dying' phase which means waiting two hours to boot Windows 10, and opening an app like email takes 30 minutes.

A good example of a 'failing' HDD being brought back. Try that with a dead SSD:

The Continued Downfall of American Healthcare

Well back home as of yesterday afternoon. $100 OOP or so, not too bad.

I feel SO much better. Walked 5.5 miles each of the last 2 days. Walking through the airports yesterday I made most of the other travelers look like snails. Not quite 100%, still have some minor pain and discomfort, but I am not noticing anything signifcant like I was prior to surgery. I used to have to stop in the middle of doing things to stretch or sit down. Haven't had to do that since the day after.

Luckily the 3rd party administrator required a 2nd opinion before surgery, otherwise I probably would have ended up with a full spinal fusion with months of recovery. I should only have about 6 weeks or so time for full recovery and specific weight and movement restrictions until cleared. Fusion I basically would not have been able to do anything for quite awhile.

How to find maximum input voltage and maximum input current supported by an android phone?

I don't think I'd bother checking precise voltage+current combinations. What's important is what charging standard(s) the phone supports. So for example my phone supports USB-PD up to 25W. In practice this means that any USB-PD charger should work with it. In fact three of my four PD chargers are rated higher than 25W, two of them substantially higher, but that's not a problem as the phone controls how much power is delivered. So basically "what standard does the phone use?" "what power does it accept?" and find a charger that ticks both boxes. Job done.

The more important question is "do I trust the manufacturer to have implemented the standard correctly and built the charger to a decent quality?". My PD chargers are 2 Ankers, an Apple Macbook Pro power adapter and the charger from my old Pixel 2, so the answer for each of those is "yes". But if I found some supposed high-power PD charger on Alibaba or eBay for a fraction of the price of the Ankers I'd most definitely not touch it, regardless of what specifications it claimed.
