Would Samsung get rid of the A series in the future and no longer have a budget or mid-range lineup in the United States? How likely is that to happen?

I installed textra hoping it had this feature. Does ANY messaging app allow you to select & copy selected words (e.g an address or phone number) from within a received message? Haven't found any that allow this. Thanks

So someone hacked a relative of mine on Facebook, and the fake person had a conversation with me, pretending to be my uncle.
Later when I logged back into Facebook, everything they said in the message chat window in Facebook had disappeared. I could only see my responses.

I then got on my Android phone and used Signal to SMS chat. I chatted there with my real relative, and we discussed what happened. I texted them there that my messages had disappeared in Facebook, and that I thought that was creepy. We ended the conversation.

The next time I used my phone, and the screen turned on, Signal was opened to a window saying "Disappearing messages". It was just already sitting at at that screen!
"When enabled, new messages sent and received in this chat will disappear after they have been seen."
The settings are "Off", "4 weeks", "1 week".... up to "30 seconds".
I was never even aware of this setting. Why would the phone be open to this all by itself?
Has anybody seen this happen before.

The only explanation I can think of is Android/Signal SMS automatically suggested this feature, after I texted someone the words "disappearing messages".
Either that or I have a super psycho hacker taking control of my phone.
Anyone have any thoughts/experiences with this?

I tried with stock firmware, lineageOS20, some random ROM, but my phone can't download nothing from web, also I can't make photos, or save DATA, I did factory reset, wipe dalvik cache, fix context, but nothing, my phone is useless now!

Hello tap master, a new challenge has just arrived for you. There are many avatars waiting to be unlocked. Will you be the one to make it?

• Avatars can be unlocked by leveling up. The level system is based on the experience (XP) you collect by completing quests.
• There are many types of quests and you are free to cancel any if you want, it depends on your strategy.
• There are also three boosts you can use at any time so you can complete quests faster.

Level up and earn rewards like a new avatar, an extra quest slot and free boost activation.

Are you ready tap master? Don't waste time, press play and start tapping bubbles right away.
Tick tock, the countdown has begun. Tick tock, time is running out. Will you be able to complete the quest?

You can play both offline and online, but if you choose online you'll be able to cancel quests and double your score to speed up your overall progress.

It may not be easy for some, but we believe you have what it takes to make it happen. Your tapping speed will play an important role and so will your strategy. Are you ready to test your skills?

Mini trailer:

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.

I am in a sales position. We get leads via incoming calls (shark tank). My S21 isn't ringing as fast as other team members. Even if my finger on the button someone else answers. I've shut down background apps. Restart phone constantly to get nearest cell tower. No luck any suggestions?

Hi. I am wondering if some kind of rooting (perhaps de-googled as well) will strip off all the emergency alert software so that I never get one again ?
Thanks

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

I was tampering with my Obama phone just to end up bricking it. Now my phone is stuck in fastboot.

My end goal is to put a custom ROM on it that allows me to use it for more than a year and without all the unnecessary bloatware.

But I am ok with the stock recovery too as a working phone is better than no phone.

Thank you in advance!

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?

I've been searching threw the Playstore looking for a good call recorder app with specific features.

I want it to:
Run silently in the background
Record all incoming and outgoing calls
Save all recordings to Google Drive automatically
No ads. Free is always nice but I'll need a paid version to eliminate ads.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Go check my new game Play Google.
I want your feedback!
Thank you

I can't connect to a SIP VOIP account when my laptop is USB tethered to my Moto phone, but VOIP works when using the same phone's wifi hotspot.

I prefer USB mainly because the phone charges while tethered. Any help would be appreciated.

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?

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?

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.

This phone is coming out this month and I'm thinking about getting it, has anyone got any Idea about it. My Note 9 has stopped getting updates and they say the Camera is the big difference from the S22 Ultra.

I want to use one of my galaxy phones as a monitor for my door system. Can I leave it permanently 'on charge' with the screen 'on'?

What's the difference between prepaid Verizon and Total by Verizon? I'm thinking about staying with Verizon but go from postpaid to prepaid instead I don't need to spend almost $100 a month anymore for cell service.

I'm using Android 13 and OneUI ver 5. I have some pdf files I want read to me. What is your fav text to speech app for android? I don't like the voice quality in Moon Reader Pro or Adobe Acrobat apps. So I'm looking for recommendations of other text to speech apps to try. I tried the Narrator's Voice app but it didn't work.
