Aaack, I just realised no headphones!

I obviously don't listen with headphones very often. I bought my Galaxy S22 about the first of November, but today I wanted to listen with my usual headphones, but I couldn't find a headphone jack anywhere on the phone. After doing a bit of online looking, I discovered that I have to buy some wireless bluetooth headphones! That makes my current headphones useless! I've now ordered some wireless ones from the big store online but will they work or not? Is there any way to make a regular headphone work on this phone?

Thanks for advice.

Root (help) xiaomi stuck in between bootloader and twrp. no idea what to boot

my problem is that :
this phone does not have vendor partition which i deleted cause i thought it blocks installations of other ROMs than stock. twrp also probably is bad one cause redmi go is 64bit phone but i can load only 32bit OSes from there (error 255). Most OSes found online were always stuck at boot or even were bootlooping/shutting down device/blackscreen.
why i do not want to install stock? mainly i dont want g-apps and when removing them from stock i had more bugs than next to a lake in warm day. literally - couldnt install apps due to lack of core package related to google play services (as far i remember it was forcing google play's antivirus on every local install), had more problems with calls/sms/wifi than before (losing signal, undelivered content, etc) and was this slow like almost unusable so i just NEED custom rom. second thing i want is just root but its a smaller problem cause this i can install anywhere.
i also dont want to lock back this phone from "encryption unsuccessful" cause i also was affected by this bug + i dont want relocking bootloader
my desktop with android tools runs slackware linux so installation of any .exe apps for any official xiaomi installer or scripts surely UNAVAILABLE. plain adb+fastboot+etc...
any ideas?
someone maybe have a currently working set of vendor, twrp and system partition? i dont care about android version number btw, any custom rom, really...
btw - i deal with this phone for over year

Samsung Galaxy 4 Classic LTE Watch

Device is a Samsung Galaxy 4 Classic LTE watch, which is a stand-alone watch; can receive and make calls, has GPS without the Cell Phone.

QUESTION: If this watch is miles away from the it’s paired Cell Phone, and it’s paired number is the same as the cell, would a GPS tracking report of the phone number reflect the Watch location or the Cell Phone location? In other words can GPS tracking differentiate between the tracking of the Cell Phone and its “paired Galaxy 4 Classic LTE” watch?

denying permissions

I'm an older less informed bloke and I don't understand "when" you must accept or deny permissions, also can I download an app and then install it later?

If I accept permissions can I later deny one or more, and conversely if I deny permissions can I later accept them if they ARE necessary or if I just decide to accept one or more?

Updates, CoolWalk and More!

As Android Auto continues to improve, I was nicely surprised after updating it to 8.8.6 (via APK MIrror). I got in the car and there's a taskbar along the bottom! Instead of just one app on the screen and one icon at the bottom, four icons are there. It's a nice, clean look.

Sometimes the taskbar freezes up and doesn't respond to touch (not in my Ford Explorer, running it through AA Wireless... but perhaps it's a next-step toward the CoolWalk UI with multiple windows open at the same time. CoolWalk, however, is a server-side switch and Google is being agonizingly slow about the rollout.

Do you have CoolWalk yet? If so, how do you like it?

Roll Call! What's up 2023?!?!?!

It's been awhile since I've talked to a lot of you... curious how many people are still around and kickin'?

What's been keeping you busy?
What in the tech world is keeping you interested?
What phone are you rockin' now?
What's goooood?!?!?

We might be making some big changes soon. And when I say big, I mean, like... well... I'll save that for another time.

Factory Reset Protection

My father brought his Motorola to me asking me to get past his screen lock asking for a PIN. (Note: this Moto G was purchased on a plan through the service provider, Consumer Cellular, and they won't even advise on how to recover the phone, thinking there is some kind of legal issue.)

I had set up his phone months before and I would have never set up a PIN for a screen lock. I think his daughter-in-law visiting him (his wife, her mother newly deceased) maliciously set up a lock on his phone. I have tried every 4-digit PIN imaginable that he would use, which is why I think the DIL set up the PIN.

Went to the factory reset function and no, I did not realize there was this protection thing INANELY created by Google with the manufacturers. I get to the point where Google asks for a PIN (the PIN?) and failing that, then the gmail account.

Pretty sure I set up an account with the phone, but that Google email account is not working. We've tried all gmail accounts he has, maybe it's 2 or 3.

What's my next step? is it with Google? Surely they dont build a system that denies the legitimate owner of the device the use of his device?
