Shoot I plug my phone into the usb port on a multibox to charge oh well. NOKIA 1.3.

@Hadron, Thanks for your response! 1.) I already explained why i cant just copy & email the URLs from my android to my PC.
2.) I will definitely learn from this experience & not allow it to happen again, but i am trying to transition & do just that, & need to save the current tabs/sessions i already have, so i can move on. This is my 1st time using android, so its a learning experience.

Just got a brand new Google Pixel 7a. Works great with outstanding battery life.👍

My watches all have sapphire lenses, so in the absence of diamond tools the one thing I'm not worried about is scratching them .

"Gorilla glass", despite the marketing, is a different matter. The sort of quartz grit you find in everyday environments will scratch that just fine (I've scratched gorilla glass by just putting a phone face down on a conference room table).

Thank you. Interesting article.

Can't move buttons or text on android studio on AndroidManifest.xml even tho i added vertical and horizontal constraints.

You do have location settings. As said above, just search settings.

If you set location to "device only" that stops Google collecting "anonymous" (but easily de-anonymised) location information (though some apps, like Maps, will occasionally pop up a message that looks like it's telling you that you need to turn location on but actually re-enables the misnamed "high accuracy" mode that allows them to collect these data. The dishonesty of the wording of that pop-up and the way it bypasses the disclaimer about other consequences is for me enough reason never to enable "high accuracy" location, which anyway isn't more accurate as long as you have a satellite fix).

If you want to stop Google recording your location history you need to turn off app and web history in your Google settings as well as location history. Otherwise Google keep a record of where you used each app. There was a fuss a few years back about them keeping this "back door" way of recording location history, but Google won't have done anything about it.

If you don't use location at all you can just turn it off.

Use dark wallpaper. See whether it has any theming options. See whether individual apps have a dark mode. That's it.

And don't get worked up about it: amoled phones existed for years before dark mode, I used one myself, it may use a little more power if you leave it on looking at the settings all of the time but it doesn't mean the phone is doomed.

I prefer Streaming services Because streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video offer monthly subscription plans that can be more budget-friendly. rather than cable tv.

So do I need to keep it on my apps ?

It's a Motorola utility to apply maintenance and performance patches to the camera module it uses in Moto phones, so I'd just leave it alone as is. It's a system-level app that's part of the firmware so you can't Uninstall it anyway. Besides, it's only a few kilobytes in size and only uses a minuscule amount of system resources even when it might be in use (which isn't very often), so there's no real benefit to trying to micromanage it.

you do not have write permission because your device is not rooted. you can't change any system files on an unrooted device. once a device is rooted then you can get permission to read and write onto the system partition.

Yes i know that. I cant find a tutorial to root my mecool m6. So i dont want to risk that i brick it.

How does one extract the text within a Termux session from the URI I provided, please? Violincello seems to depend on the display for user interaction. I need something that can be run within a shell script.

Click to expand...

no idea, that is above my pay grade. i just found this and thought i would share.

also do not let the display be on for very long and especially do not leave the screen on while displaying the a screen that does not change......in other words do not leave it on your home screen where your home screen shortcuts can burn into the display. my mom does this and on her s7 she kept her home screen on and it burned in Candy Crush into the screen.

so use a screen time out or use a live wallpaper that keeps the screen moving.

well tct is this:

gcs i think means google cloud service:

and wcs manager is " WFC Profile Manager connects to customer data services in the cloud, authenticates, automates, and enables multiple user role selection for dynamic line extensions or push-to-talk groups on a shared device."

.....in other words nothing nefarious going on. that is just your system process running on your device.

Ok thanks for the help

"nearby device scanning" does not have anything related to this. but thanks for the suggestion.

Thank You Hadron for a very good explanation of how texting works. It is certainly complicated. I get confused between MMS, RCS, SMS and now my phone wants to send something called "RCS Chat". From what I can find out, RCS is quite an improvement in security over SMS.


In the last paragraph, you mentioned not being sure about no way to send without attachment. I apologize, but I explained very poorly. Here is another try:
A person named "Louis" sent me a text message with a photo. ("Attachment")
It is still in my inbox 50 days later.
I wanted to send Louis a text. My new text got sent to Louis with the one he had sent to me 50 days ago, including the photo.

It seems to send a new text with to someone who already has a text in my inbox- with no old texts attached- all texts from that person should be deleted from the inbox before composing & sending the new text. Best I've got.

I just used CleanMyMac X to ensure it's completely uninstalled and any problems are identified before reinstalling. No improvement.

I tried the permanent ME removal on my M4800 and it worked. However my laptop has no problem detecting all the RAM in it in BIOS. The Linux stuff still showed no ME, and I see no ME device within Windows.

I confirmed my email now what do I do?

you confirmed email on your roku? thru your phone?

so let me get this straight. you have a tracfone Hotspot device, correct? and you have a tv with a roku device hooked up, correct? on your tv you were able to get where you enter your account info for the roku, and that is where you entered your email, yes? does your roku see the hotpost network name?
