Today, when putting my vacation days into the stock calendar, I noticed that the holidays that were there when I started the phone are now gone. The only thing that I know that I could have done was to do the phone software updates. Does anyone know what might have happened? How, if possible can I get them back? Is there a way to get another set of holidays on the calendar. Even though I want the ones back I had upon startup, I have to admit that lots of weird holidays were featured. I would consider others, if possible.

No need to tell a long story. I got angry at Consumer Cellular, fired them and received my sim card today from the new network. I can't get the phone to work because it wants to be unlocked. Consumer Cellular refused to unlock the phone stating that I had a past due account. We sent the final payment on Jan 30 and I find it hard to believe they haven't received it yet. So I can't use my cell phone on their network or the new network. Short of buying a new phone, is there a solution?

Would anyone be able to help me understand how to care for the battery? I spent hours google searching and can't find the answers. I did stumble upon how to turn off fast charging. Does that mean I can use my regular 5W charger if I do that? That is what I am hoping to do. I don't need a fast charge and they are expensive (to replace everything I already have). I also read that it was best to charge in the by 20% and up to 80%, then read somewhere else that the phone is automatically set to not let you charge to 100% even though that is what the display says. At this point I am confused as H E double-hockey-sticks...Help me Obi Wan...

This happens a few times a day. I'll be on wifi and i wont get any notifcations for like a couple hours. Then I will turn off wifi and a bunch of notifications will come in all at the same time. Gmail, facebook, my nest camera, everything. This happens on my home wifi as well as work wifi and pretty much every wifi connection.

I also have an issue where I won't get notifications and then when I unlock my phone i will get a notifcation late. This happens mostly with gmail.

just got 2022 taxes done through H&R Block. Luckily I'm getting a little bit of a refund, which is better than paying in

I haven't used Android launchers in many years.
The fear is always that they take resource usage like RAM from the phone as opposed to using stock options.

I wanted to know... do launchers have these 3 widgets:

Airplane toggle
Hotspot toggle
Wifi on off toggle
Always on screen toggle

Thanks.

The future will be airless tires. No more flats. No more spare tire.

My Verizon Pixel 6 Pro is currently downloading the 30 mb February update. It took longer than usual to prepare my phone for the download. I live in the NE USA in the suburbs of New York City. The information is at https://support.google.com/pixelphone/thread/200738915/google-pixel-update-february-2023?hl=en
Good luck!
The update downloaded much quicker than usual. That may be why it took longer to prepare my phone for it. I had read that Google was working on a way to improve update speed. Maybe this was it.

** UPDATE: ANSWER FOUND. Android 11 purposely disabled the feature to access your existing images when a live camera capture request is activated via a link or app. **

Original question:
Im trying to find out if this is specific to Samsung phones. I have an S22. When you click "Take Photo" links, it brings up a version of the camera app that does NOT give access to your gallery or existing photos.

Normally the camera app has a camera roll/gallery icon at the bottom.

Hi all. I'm considering getting the S23 (regular), and I'd like to know if there are any benefits and/or drawbacks to buying an unlocked phone from Amazon vs. buying directly from T-Mobile.

Will it work the same? Are the ones from T-Mobile optimized to run on T-Mobile, or is that not a thing anymore?

Do I just need to put the SIM card from my S7 into the S23 to activate it? (Assuming it's even the same type. If it's not, what do I do?)

How else would T-Mobile know I got a new phone if I don't do it through them?

Thanks!

Am I wrong or when you factory reset an s6 gives you option of touching phones to transfer everything? I thought that was or am I wrong and or did they remove that option/feature? Wondering because be way faster if I can do that with new phone I'm planning on getting.

Ok guys,
Maybe an impossible thing, but I’m going to ask anyway.

Since a few weeks, my mother has a hearing problem. She already had a hearing aid for one ear and now the other ear is having problems as well. because her good ear doesn’t work for telephone calls, she uses Bluetooth functionality on her hearing aid to use it with telephone calls. The only problem is: if the hearing aid is constantly on this setting it creates problems of noise and other unwanted side effects.

Now my question is: she uses an app to set the hearing aid on different settings for different situations. (Bluetooth, induction loops, busy places, that kind of presets).

Is there any way with android to be able to access this setting quickly from the Home Screen via Some sort of widget, or maybe assign a button or something, so she can turn on and off the Bluetooth setting of the app?
We looked at turning off Bluetooth altogether, but this isn’t really the solution because she also uses other Bluetooth devices (watches, speakers).

It would be great if there is a solution for this, hope you can brainstorm with me?

Samsung Galaxy A53 5G.... I'm looking for a reasonably good ad blocker for YouTube. I've tried a couple of free ones from the Google 'Play Store', but they don't do anything to curtail the blizzard of ads while trying to watch YouTube. Of course, this makes perfect sense, as Google owns YouTube.....

I have no problem paying a one-time fee for the ad blocker, but I don't want to get sucked into paying an ongoing monthly fee.

Can someone kindly recommend an ad blocker, or a strategy, to block most (or all) ads from YouTube?

Many thanks, Dave F.

I found this in my activity & I've google it & hidden app sites pop up but none of them say anything about this.

Hi all! I would like to present you my new application Test for love. I must say right away that this application was created for entertainment purposes and does not scan fingerprints) This application is very good for having fun with your soulmate.
The principle of operation is simple. You and your partner put your fingers on the screen, the application "scans" and gives you a percentage match result. Everything is simple)
To play a trick, you can choose the result you need in advance in the settings, or random. I really hope you support. Thank you!

I work in a company where we use a lot of samsung tablets and phones.
Lately some people have been having problems with PDF's.
As you can see in the picture there is a grey bar on top of the screen, this only appears when reading PDF's.
We have tried installing a different pdf reader but the result is the same.
Resetting to factory settings also doesn't work.

Anyone got any ideas for a fix ?
Can't seem to really find anything on the internet.

We have a townhouse with a galley kitchen, so there is not a lot of room or storage space in the kitchen. The wife needs more storage space so here is what I'm doing:

Removing the stove and the microwave above the stove

Just went to Menards and purchased a Four Burner Cooktop, a Three Drawer Cabinet for the Cooktop, and a combination Microwave/Convection Oven to mount above the Cooktop.

Total price $1,781/74 LOL! a lot of money for three drawers. Should be here in about 10 days

Happy Wife, Happy Life!
