I just downloaded Studio on my Linux Mint laptop.
When I start a new project I choose Kotlin, but it gives me Java.
Any ideas?

Hi... can someone give me a link to bulk remove MP3 tags from my Android? All apps I see only do one at a time.

I'd be very warry of a computer (including tablets/smartphones) that's connected to the Internet, yet no longer receiving security updates! Yet multiple people on forums have told me that Android systems without OS security updates can be used safely, so long as you otherwise have good security practices. So I'm starting this thread, a thread where we can discuss the question: How important are security updates for Android OS, and the apps that run on it?

Hi all,
I am using the wiim android app that connects to my wiim streamer. The streamer connects to amazon music and feeds my integrated amp.
So far all good.
What is also nice with my wiim app is that the currently playing song is synchronized with all android apps that run the application. This is a feature that I can use to some extent to display in a dedicated tablet what I am playing

These are the features that I am lacking though
1. Turn on the display on when I start streaming music
2. Keep display always on and turn it off when I stop streaming.

I am willing to use a different android app and or buy a different streamer that uses a different app.
I am open to suggestions and alternatives.
Regards,
Alex

How's the vibration motor/intensity on S23 Ultra? Is it stronger than the S21+?
I'm legally deaf now due to Tinnitus and depend things like this. The S21+ was kinda weak.
Does it have some good "Alerts" features?
I'm still waiting for my S23 Ultra... ordered it on Feb 16th and it's backordered.

mainly its because of the people who have apple products are so much more snooty. take my friends who have apple products. they always made fun of my android devices in the past. but now that Samsung has caught up to the innovations apple was making, i can now brag to them saying can your phone do this? can your phone fold and unfold like mine?

Just how common is that kind of phone snobbery? Do you run into people who think less of you, make fun of you, or something, over your phone?

I just read this article and thought I'd share it.
I'm hearing there's alot of remote workers complaining about returning to the office.
Since Covid-19 hit, employees still think they have the upper hand with the employer as to where they are working.
Newsflash! Your employer can dictate to you where you are going to be working from! If you're not happy with that, find a different job!
Lol! Wake up and drive to your job and be thankful you still have one!
Sorry but that's my rant....

Cable TV or Streaming TV?
Which one are you and your monthly cost. (please include your total cost, if streaming and internet)

For those unpixellated photographers who want it, Google is / will be offering server based Magic Eraser software to most all who subscribe to any Google One cloud account tariff.

It's not visible on the Google One app yet, but this seems legit:

Call it an Easter egg or whatever, but there's a cute little game called Chrome Dino and you can play it right from your home screen!

Find an empty 2x2 space on your home screen and long press. Select "Widgets" from the menu. In the Chrome options, select "Chrome Dino". The widget will load. The game is a huge retro throwback to the stuff I played growing up. Have fun!

We live in the Middle Tennessee area, in a largely rural region between Nashville and Chattanooga. GSM service has historically been spotty and marginal at best; but Verizon always had commanding coverage with full bars and solid data everywhere.

In the last few months I've noticed a severe degradation in coverage: there are places in downtown Manchester (right along I-24) and on the highway between Manchester and Tullahoma (whiskey trail on the way to Lynchburg) that are now complete dead zones with zero bars and no data.

Thinking the SIM in my Z Fold 4 was worn (wouldn't be my first experience with that problem), I went to the Verizon corporate store in Tullahoma and told them about the problem. My SIM was dutifully replaced, but no one said anything about a change in coverage. The problem wasn't resolved, however - in fact, on the way home I got to a no-signal spot and looked at the Darling Bride's new S23 Ultra... no signal! This is not a device-specific issue.

When we arrived home, I got onto a chat at Verizon and went through three reps. While Agent 2 was a total loser who suggested that our lines may be in a low priority queue with the towers because of our older XL Plan and tried to upsell us a new 5G plan (in an area with virtually no 5G service), Agent 3 assured me that we're either connected or we aren't; and there are no turbo queues for customers with the latest & greatest plans. Agent 3 did, however, note that our devices showed "Fair" coverage outdoors and "Poor" coverage indoors. Agent 3 said that Verizon does move resources around based on demand... but our area can't build homes fast enough for the number of people trying to move here. If anything, Verizon should be moving more resources in here, not moving anything out!

What's your recent experience with Verizon coverage in your area? Have you noticed an increase in poor coverage spots and dead zones? Our coverage with Verizon has always been our only reason for paying their exorbitant rates. If they're no longer king of the airwaves, perhaps we need to try a MVNO and see if GSM coverage is improved.

I can not find one single email clent for my standard Android TV (Philips 65OLED706/12).
I search using Google Play Store.

What I want to do do, is email attachments and links to an email address dedicated to my TV.
I don't care if the account is a Microsoft 365, GMail, Hotmail or whatever type of account.

Is there really no existing email client for Android TVs?

How do you folks feel about Google Voice?

So i finally bit the bullet and bought the 512gb version Steam Deck. i love my ps5, but i wanted to game pretty much where ever i want. would be cool to just to chill on my back porch and play some games. it is something i really do not need. but my b-day is coming up, so i decided to splurge. now not all steam games will play on it, i know. but most of the top games that are available on steam can be played on the steam deck. plus what is cool is that it is a linux based os. and with a little programing skills, you can do pretty cool things like emulations. now i have not researched what you can fully do with the machine other than play steam games.......yet.

it should take 1-2 weeks for it to arrive. this gives me time to look for accessories. the cool thing is that the deck already comes with a carrying case.

anybody have one?

My Samsung A53 5G just updated to Android 13. So thanks to Samsung for keeping the phone current.

However, I can't find any useful changes in A13. Mainly, it's made all the icons the same color, so apps are harder to tell apart.

Apparently, it also offers more options for getting things the exact color you want. THIS is what people care about?

Has anything found something useful in this revision? Does anyone else wish Google would stop fussing with cosmetics and do something useful? Like, maybe, a way to get newer Android versions onto older phones without rooting them?

Anybody get their Galaxy S23 Ultra yet?
Reason I'm asking is I pre-ordered mine on Feb 16th for the special deals they had, ($1000 off the $1,400 price) and the sales person said I'd get it in 2-5 business days.
Well he lied... 5 business days later and it hasn't even been shipped yet. This is what I get when I checked tracking a few minutes ago.

I went online to T-Mobile and got the runaround. I'm going on vacation on March 6th and sure hope it gets here by then.
I'm wondering if the local stores have them in yet or if they have shipping problems too.

Simple question... who is into eating this healthy snack. Most of my life I was a chip and salsa sort of snack guy. Though I was a big consumer it didn't show up on my waist line. Now that I'm retired and far less active I've discovered that my beloved go-to snack has to be consumed in moderation. I've always loved nuts and though my favorite nut has changed with age, I never ate them seriously. I loved pecans as a youth and a five pound sack was always a Christmas present from my parents. I didn't exactly lose my love for pecans but I moved to cashews in my early adulthood. Later I turned to pistachios for my fix and found a love for a salt / pepper pistachios I stumbled upon a couple of years back.
Last year I did a quick search as to the merit of eating nuts. I was blown away by the amount of essential oils and nutrients of nuts. The good fats vs bad fats of most chips really turned me on. I've turned in my bags of chips for bags of nuts. The crunch I love is there with nuts, the flavor is there, but far more healthy.
Any nut lovers here? Do you have a favorite nut or are you a mix nut sort of person. Do you eat them out of love for nuts or their benefits?

Hello. I have an LG Stylo 6 from Cricket Wireless. Love the phone and service but in the last week I have had to constantly reset network settings otherwise cannot connect to internet. This happens whether I am outside or home - I never use home wifi to connect - always cellular network.
It is not due to software update - my software is up to date everytime.
So everytime I cannot connect I would have to reset all network settings then instantly I can connect. But in less than an hour I cannot connect again. So I have to do this frequently - which is not normal!
I even did what Cricket phone support suggested - took out and then re-inserted the SIM card - issue persists.
This is my 4th LG phone with Cricket since 2015 and the 1st time this is happening.
Has anyone had this issue before?
Any suggestions for further troubleshooting or solution?
Thanks so much in advance!

I have a Samsung S22 and my calls have been going in and out

Since I can't find how to post (again) with this crappy new mess, I guess I'll just ask it here. How the heck do I uninstall updates on the Z3? I did that on that Moto G Play and saved more than a gig of space. All I had to do was look for the 3 dots at the upper right and there it was. I notice that the option's gone now. Is it a limited time offer?
