Turn off autoplay video from Google Play

Autoplaying videos are one of the internet’s most annoying features, consuming plenty of data and system resources. Back in September, Google announced autoplay videos in the Play Store. There is now an option to turn off that annoying automatic behavior.

Version 17.9.17 of the Google Play Store app now allows you to disable these videos that auto-played in the game spotlight section and game suggest.

Google Play Store setting is accessible by heading to settings > general > auto-play videos (screenshot above) and allows you to Auto-play videos over Wi-Fi or completely Don’t auto-play videos

It’s not a new feature because it was introduced last month but not for all users like now. Do you think it's useful?

Thanks for the info my friend. I never noticed that setting until your post. Happy holidays

Draeneg, it's time to regain control of your data privacy

This is the general privacy rules of our company on Google Play.

Is that Orange, the French telco? Well I can't read French anyway. Are you providing your company's services outside of France?

Each app has its own privacy rules. For Draeneg, it's simple: we collect anything, no data.

And it seems I need to install and actually run your company's app in order to read those privacy rules. Well to me that is NOT satisfactory, as I do like to control my data privacy, and I never install apps without first looking at their privacy rules, EULAs, etc.

You did state in your OP "I would like to collect your opinion and suggestion about such an application for protecting data privacy. Comments are welcome."

So there you go. there's my opinions and suggestions. :thumbsupdroid:

Disappeared?!

Yeah, I was grandfathered in but then they left the play store and I left them :oops:
Me too...kind of, sort of...well, maybe a little... :)

Rereading the other threads refreshed my memory that I had actually installed the newer version, directly from its site, after its removal from Play. (I still can't believe I totally forgot all about that. *SMH*)

But at some point, I uninstalled it. I think it's basically redundant now, considering the changes Google has made in terms of security.

So bye-bye, Cerberus!

Help Locked out of my phone due to the Gboard / How can I sideload Gboard apk on the Recovery Mode?

Gboard had a huge bug that made it unusable and there were articles made about it and users on the Play Store are giving it a 1 star review because they're too locked out of their phones.
Google addressed this last week; it apparently only affected some Android 7.1 [and below] users.

Just FYI, if you're interested in trying a really nice keyboard, give Hacker's Keyboard a whirl. It's the first thing I install on any new device.

Its goal is to replicate a full keyboard, like you'd have on a computer. It has many settings, so you can customize its look and feel. Here's my current look:

Help Calendar Synch Problems Win 10 Pro and Galaxy S5

Hi Tom. I'm sorry no one's replied, and didn't want you to feel ignored. :) Most likely, no one who has a solution has come along--yet.

I'm definitely not that person, what with being a Linux-only, avowed windows hater! :eek: But I do have some questions whose answers may help that other person(s).
various versions of Windows (Now on Win10 Pro V1909) and it would sync both ways. All of the sudden I can't get it to sync either way.
Did it stop right after an OS upgrade, or after some time? If the former, the obvious suspect is the new version of windows--but I get the feeling it's the latter.

So what else happened? :thinking:

Around the time it stopped working, did you update anything else? You mentioned using an old version of Thunderbird--did you upgrade that?

Were any Google-related updates applied on your phone? That includes Android.

Did you install anything that could conflict with the sync function, like something that also syncs?

Hang in there! We'll try to help get it sorted out. :D

Help My Moto E4 (Perry) boots Everytime into TWRP recovery

Can you boot into fastboot?
Yeah man fastboot is working fine, tried a couple commands through adb, even the phone boots up and performs every function, wifi and simcard are not working, cuz wrong firmware, so the classic rsd Motorola flasher tool, that's the main roadblock for me, it's not detecting my phone, tried a couple different cables too, now trying to install an older version of rsd flasher, hoping that works

Ulefone s9pro internal SD expansion prob

This rather sounds like a bug in the phone. Many manufacturers don't provide the format as internal storage option for SDs. Ulefone have, but apparently it doesn't work. If it is a firmware or hardware bug, any fixes('tricks') would need to come from Ulefone in China(the manufacturer).

Hi m

Ok thanks. I'll contact the manufacturer to see if they're able to help.

Lol.. although they make good stuff at really cheap prices, u wish they'd give out manuals which are NOT completely useless.

Thanks for your feedback.

Root in build.prop file sdk version changed and device not working

https://forum.xda-developers.com/canvas-4

I'v tweak buildptops on my rooted Note 4 many times over the years. I quickly learned, one mistake will put my phone in a bootloop. If you have TWRP custom recover and a previous backup. Go to advamced wipe, check system, dalvik/ART cache and cache. Then dirty flash your system partition. If all goes well you'll have a work phone.
Im not familiar with your device but on mine , If hypotheticaly, I didn't have a backup. My next choice would be to flash the official fermware. I am aware of mount script .zip that flash buildprops changes but I don't think thats a viable option in your case.
