Hi all,

I have been on these forums before. I had a great time.

Eventually though I asked for my account to be closed maybe 2 years ago, give or take a millennium.
I have recurring home issues (no, I AM the only one with problems!) 😏
I also try to stop myself posting too much badly - ritton drivel!

I still occasionally browse here, especially for the funnies.

Last few days I looked at starting a new account, but there's no option for that.

I tried the forgotten password route, though my account was definitely closed at my request.
I did not remember which email I had used, so I found my Gmail address (which I don't use for anything important or personal) had a username still open here. I probably started it some long time ago and forgot about it. It's showing no history, but that could be for many reasons. I don't think I used it though.

My username previously was:

Madasa

though I think I had the original username changed from whatever it was originally. (connection to this one ? I don't think so)

SO.... ANYHOW...

If this account and username breaks rules, I'm fine with that and Mods can close it.

Otherwise, good to see you old fogies like me still around.

I have kept broad tabs on well known members who have had health issues.
I am extremely sad about those permanently missing.

I may sneak in to games and funnies occasionally.
I have had a good spec 2020 Xiaomi from new and still very fond of it.

{Did I say I don't like to write ot re-edit too much drivel?
What was I thinking? I'm great at short posts like this }

Nice to see you all. TM

Man, this was difficult to post and add emoji's. What's a poll question thingy I had to make up? 😏

A while back I got a jacket from walmart. Yes, I should have known better. It was ok until a few days ago when the zipper started going bonky. At first it was separated just a little at the bottom. Then it split at about the middle, with the top and bottom both open. I couldn't slide it and had to pry it apart, which opened it but I could not refasten it. Yesterday I tried to fix it and the slider came loose. How do I fix this thing?

Recently it just stopped showing up in the Moto G Play. I admit it's overstuffed but would that affect this? I can't take it out because it's practically glued in there.

I am trying 'Add to Home screen' the URL

But it always ends up with

It's so irritating that to move back and forth during in youtube videos I have to swipe along the progress bar to drag the progress back and forth, instead of just touching on it where you want to go like seemingly every other streaming video service.

Am I doing something wrong? it's like that on all my android devices, and those of other people too.

Thank you in advance!

Hello, I have a Pixel 6 with Android 14. I'm not sure how to determine what texting app I'm using. but I assume it's the default one.

I want to use "adb put ..." to upload some audio files for texting notifications. What type of files (.mp3, .mp4) do these need to be, where should I place them, and how do I assign them as the default audio notifications, please?

I am trying to transfer my photo albums from my note 10 + to my S24 ultra. I don't know whether or not smart switch transfers gallery albums. I'm afraid that it will just dump all of my photos into one album and I have 106 albums. It would take way too long to put them back into different albums. Does anyone know how to transfer not just photos but photo albums from one Samsung to another? Thanks.

Hello,

If there is an image in Telegram or Whatsapp, the area/info at the sides are hidden before you press on the image to enlarge it, I need to press the image to enlarge it to see the whole image.

Q1. In Telegram before you press the image to enlarge it, does the image show more area/info in Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 than in Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra?

Q2. In Whatsapp before you press the image to enlarge it, does the image show more area/info in Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 than in Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra?

Thanks

Is anyone using it? Looks like it would be a good fit for my peeps and they can choose which network to use. It gets glowing reviews so thinking about giving it a try but have a few lines out of area to not mess up with a change.

What system app is responsible for the Double tap to wake feature?

The Moto G Stylus is acting up, showing the Android lying down with door open. It says start and there are up and down arrows I can't use because the volume rocker doesn't work. The only plan I have is to let the charge run out and replug. Maybe that will fix it.

I bought my mother a tablet just for use at home, and she likes games, puzzle/connect 3 etc, and I've made her a carry stand so the tablet's permanently on it's side for netflix etc. But so many games either won't go to landscape mode or are squished in it. I understand most games are made for phones, but how can I somehow focus on games that are ideal for landscape?

Thanks, I was able to flash a factory image and recover that way.

Is there a forum set up for this phone?

I sent my friend a pdf. I was able to open it by going to downloads, but the app screen doesn't show drive. It's there but hidden, I guess. Also it goes the wrong way, vertically. How do we fix this?

man the crazy conspiracies that the right come up with is just ridiculous.

i think pizza gate is the first that i can remember that went main stream.

then we had litter boxes in school bathrooms.

and now we have Haitians immigrants eating your pets.

do people really believe in this stuff? and why is vance promoting such bogus lies? why is ted cruz and elon musk promoting this as well? they know it is all bs. they are only stoking fear of the immigrant. it is flat out wrong. there is absolutely no real evidence this is happening:

Scientists predict the comet will reach peak brightness around October 12 when it will pass closest to Earth. PARK CITY, UT — Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) is expected to reappear in the skies in the coming weeks, stirring excitement among comet watchers.4 days ago

I have a Motorola Moto e6 XT2005DL phone running Android 9 (I guess a dinosaur at this point), but it is great for my use, and I don't feel the need to buy a new phone every other year.

I installed a micro SD card with plenty of storage space and designated it as internal storage (so the apps will be installed on the SD card etc.) No need to worry about storage space forever! (I don't store large amounts of data, pics, videos, documents on the phone anyway)

however, I just had a little icon pop up telling me that I'm running out of internal storage (might have said internal shared storage) and that some apps might not run right etc. When I looked up online what to do about it, the 1st suggestion was to start deleting apps that I don't need, however if those apps are installed on the micro SD card what's the point? I have 97.22 GB of free storage left.

Much of the confusion is internal storage vs internal shared storage. My phone tells me that internal storage is 96 GB free, so what should I do, if anything, to free up internal shared storage?

Should I just ignore the warning? When I click on the settings/storage/internal shared storage/ I scroll down to "other apps", and it takes me to Apps Storage. I started selecting apps, 1 by 1, and clearing cache, but it didn't really do anything to free up internal shared storage. I don't know what I'm talking about..... hence I'm here asking 😏

Thanks

I want to make some or get really cheap stuff. I can't afford the fancy glass kind. It should have them but just doesn't.

A few days ago this crazy little digital thing from yes walnart started screwing up badly. It "tells the time" very fast, from 12:00 to 12:59 in less than a minute, and does that again and again. I have unplugged and replugged, waited a while, but no dice. It probably wasn't under warranty in the first place.
