I had a mulitude of tablets with cellular capability. I still got them, and they still make them. Even the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 from 2012 had a GPS, only the cheap throwaway crap from Walmart or Kmart didn't. Phones tend to use A-GPS and need data for it to fully work, while an old tablet can easily run Waze or Navmii offline.

Android Auto functions perfectly fine offline. it's sorta broken on my Ridgeline as the stupid USB-C cable has issues connecting properly leading it to assuming there is zero signal (get the 'x!' icon instead of bars) but I use it to control downloaded YouTube music playlists and it works anyway. sure, you don't get Assistant text reply function but nobody texts me when I ain't home.

I'm not sure dialup is still a thing.
Is AOL still around?
Feasible but AOL had really deep funding.
It would cost a fortune to develop.

Click to expand...

AOL still exists, but their dialup service and online software EOL'd sometime in 2015. They still have AOL.com email addresses as my girlfriend recently created one. the website aol.com is still up, but I think is owned by Time Warner? I think one can still use AIM via a third party hack of some kind. A few years ago, someone tried to recreate the America Online service via Java as a sort of throwback similar to the old net, but it never got out of alpha.

LGR had a fun time messing around with it before it EOL'd

You would love that dongle until it bent or worse, snapped off in the USB-C port in just the perfect way that no tool could get the remnants out. The beauty of 3.5mm is that it had built-in strain relief, in that it could spin around without bending or breaking off in a pocket, or me having to forget to charge the buds case and now have no music for the hike I had planned.

Why can't anyone make something that feels like an upgrade anymore? All they had to do was keep the same pace they had in late 2012 but then Apple had to make IOS 7 and everything went downhill since. I ask you, where is the actual 'upgrade?' nobody cares about specs when everyone uses the smartphone for the same tasks they did in 2010, anyway. When the only incentive for people to upgrade is by cutting service to older devices instead of making a worthy upgrade, you've run out of ideas.

Software update might have that 1.10 gb of data because it likely downloaded an update before you kill't it. If I use No Root Firewall to disable OTA updates, and I reboot my phone, sometimes it is able to latch onto an update before Firewall restarts, and I dealt with that annoyance last week, it constantly nagging me one was available, and showing it constantly trying and failing to download said update. thankfully it was only a OneUI decimal update, no more or less important to me than a security patch, so I installed it, re-enabled my update block, and now just remember to put phone into Airplane Mode before a restart.

Otherwise it's just app data, as many modern apps built in today are quite large. I think Pale Moon on my Linux machine is over 2GBs in size, a huge difference from the 35MB of Netscape Navigator. It can seem daunting but it's harmless. But for safe measure, you can install the same app, NetGuard No Root Firewall from F-Droid or direct APK download, and disable the internet to any app or service you hate, and it's more effective than disabling system services, many of which don't even let you disable them anymore.

I was able to have one tablet literally frozen in time that way, with all my Google Play Music, Books, downloaded movies and TV, and even offline Calm app data via NetGuard. Tablet was always offline, but you'd be able to enjoy all that was on it, like the year were still 2017.

I was able to make my Z Flip 4 an Android 2.3 device, well, you'd have to look close to know any better by just replacing all the built ins with Android 2.3 apps. Obviously can't do all of them, but with a theme and icon pack you'd be unable to know it's not running Android 2.3 + TouchWiz like the Galaxy SII.

good ol'e Nokia 5100 series ^, the 3310 of the USA. That thing had the coolest accessories. You could make an older model look like a more 'modern' one with an Xpress On faceplate, and sadly I never was able to source that cool neon battery pack, literally clear with a neon lamp inside, or the antenna module that flashed a rather eye-searing LED during an incoming call.

The irony of Zack Morris is that in the time of Saved by the Bell, the 1984 Motorola DynaTAC he was always using was already well obsolete and past its prime.

I see those kinds of 'posts' often. It's some weird forum 'thing' and I don't get it either, Ocnbrze

yeah ooops sorry i was looking at the p40.

Click to expand...

yep, for the P40 they clearly say Go Edition, but for the A60S they don't mention Go Edition, yet on other sites it mentions Go Edition.

Rubbed elbows with one of the investment teams down here, I already have my money invested in the things I kind of forgot over time and space itself, and adding up inside the different emotions are just stricken up, anyway soon we are going to get our hardwood floors done, and I do not see that until I see the guy though, he might do this very last thought, just been exhausted over and over.

It sounds like a power saving feature of your phone. It could be the OS rev upgrade as well. Have you tried your reader on another phone that's running Android 13?

Welcome to Android Forums. It sounds like you have done your homework. Perhaps another has something for you to try. I wish I had more to offer.

I have several devices paired with my phone. I want to be able to specify, for example:
- connect with device A automatically.
- don't connect with device B automatically, but prompt me each time.

Make sense?

It's a shame to throw out expensive prescription food but, unfortunately, that may be what you'll have to do. Since you've done so much already, I can only think of asking on NextDoor if anyone can use it. For those who don't know, NextDoor is a site/app where you're only talking to people verified to be your immediate neighbors. So, for example, I can only access Arcadia and a limited amount of its close neighbors. I find this really handy because the people you're talking to are your actual neighbors. It helps, somehow, to talk to people who live near you, even if you've never met them before.

Also, you can feed it to your remaining dog(s). I did that with Joy Noelle's k/d (both dry and canned) after she decided not to eat it any more. My vet said it was fine to give it to my other cats, just don't feed it as their exclusive food. There's nothing in it that can HARM a pet with normal kidney function. You can add mix it like 25% prescription and 75% regular. It'll slowly go down, and won't be wasted. *DISCLAIMER* I am not a vet! Check with your vet to make sure it's okay for your pets.

My wife had a school issued apple tablet when she was teaching. I never gave it a look.

Click to expand...

The only Apple device I have is an iPad; all my other devices are Windows and Android. My iPad is a few years old (base model), and a quality device.

thanks a lot for your response. can you please let me know which versions of instagram enable the user to do this.

Didn't we already answer your question in a duplicate thread?

Click to expand...

Different member....I checked.

People keep telling me Android can't run out of RAM. They're wrong. The OS can't perform magic. It must swap to disk, this is slow. On my old 2GB RAM phone, it runs out, it even takes longer to open the lock screen than it gives me to swipe the pattern, then times itself out! This insane idea of not completely closing apps is a mess, all those things which can notify you: text, email, ebay, they all sit in the background waiting for a notification to hand you. I need to see what's using the most RAM, and not just close it like the cleaner programs do, but manually decide one is too big and tell it not to open at boot, just when I choose to. And there needs to be a way to completely close an app and not have it reopen, like on a computer. Perhaps we need someone to make a whole new interface, like they do with Linux.

@Whycella you just posted a quote from the op. do you have a question? or comment?

welcome to AF by the way.

hi! im new, i have android studio canary and on virtual devide manager, i can't make work an android version 10 with Google Play... without Google Play it work tho.
i need google play to make 8 ball pool works.
im on windows 7. someone can help me pls? tx.

Click to expand...

Hello! I'd be happy to help you with getting Android 10 with Google Play to work in Android Studio. Here are the steps to set up an Android Virtual Device (AVD) with Google Play for testing apps like 8 Ball Pool:

1. Install Google Play Images: Make sure you have downloaded and installed the Google Play system images in Android Studio. You can do this by opening the Android SDK Manager and ensuring that the "Google Play" images for Android 10 are installed. If they are not, install them.
2. Create a New Virtual Device:
   • Open Android Studio.
   • Click on "Configure" in the welcome screen or go to "File" > "Settings" if you are already inside a project.
   • In the Settings, navigate to "Appearance & Behavior" > "System Settings" > "Android SDK."
   • Click on the "SDK Tools" tab.
   • Check "Google Play Licensing Library" and "Google Play APK Expansion Library" if they are not already installed.
   • Now, create a new virtual device by going to "Configure" > "AVD Manager."
   • Click on "Create Virtual Device."
3. Select Hardware Profile: Choose a hardware profile that matches your requirements (e.g., Pixel 3). Click "Next."
4. System Image: Choose the system image that has "Google Play" in its name. For Android 10, it should be something like "Android 10.0 (Google Play)." Select it and click "Next."
5. Emulator Options: Configure the emulator options as needed. You can adjust settings like RAM, VM Heap, and others. Click "Finish" when done.
6. Start the Emulator: In the AVD Manager, select the newly created virtual device with Google Play support, and click the green "Play" button to start the emulator.
7. Sign in to Google Account: Once the emulator is running, it should have Google Play services installed. You can sign in with your Google account on the emulator and access the Play Store to install 8 Ball Pool or any other app you need for testing.
8. Test Your App: Now, you can test your app, including 8 Ball Pool, with Google Play services enabled.

If you encounter any issues or error messages during these steps, please provide more details, and I'll do my best to assist you further.

Yes everything will be gone if you do not have backups

I tried setting up my tablet and I guess I set it up so good I locked myself out.

Had this thing for two years and just now set it up as I wasn’t able to use it due to my shit internet-well it’s not shit anymore, just the tablet is now lol

When I set it up I was trying to be smart and made a new Gmail for it and thought I didn’t need to write it down, I can’t remember the email or the pin I set up (4 digits)…

Can someone please help?

Are there any Roms I can put on it to get around the account sign in? I tried to do a factory reset and it needs the new gmail I set up for it that I can’t remember I just want to use it so any help is appreciated.

They have to have security to guard against fat old Russian men posing as needy grandmothers who locked themselves out of their tablets, when in reality they are just trying to get into a stolen device. Good luck with your device.

I bought a pair of cheapo JVC HA-A5T bluetooth earphones. They pair, connect and play fine but I can't make the buttons do anything. My previous earphones worked fine. What might I be doing wrong?

the only thing you can do is unpair the headphones and then pair it again with the phone.....or get better headphones.

I agree that plastic is a superior product for holding contents. If not for their pollutant factor I'd be all in favor of plastic. The best option in my opinion are the reusable bags. They have more strength than either plastic or paper and have no impact on the environment.

Click to expand...

In principle, you're probably right about reusable bags. But will banning plastic bags cause everyone to use reusable bags? Probably not. As I said, the law banning plastic bags will cause more waste than it stops. Besides, plastic bags are reusable.

Well, that didn't work. I'm letting this one go, and moving on. Too bad we couldn't crack it, but it was interesting trying. Disabling email alerts, and logging off of this thread. Thank you one last time to all.

one idea is to book mark your favorite websites on your browser of choice and then most browsers (i use chrome) should have a bookmark widget with a list of your bookmarks that you can scroll thru and launch.
