I read this "If your device has been lost or stolen and you have not installed a Find your Device application there could be a slim chance that your device is still on and has Data enabled.

How do you access your Gmail/Google account via your computer and go to the Play Store and install an application into your phone?

How to disable [recently added] and [what's new] in Samsung default Contacts app?

Over the past 2 years, reception and bars for MetroPCS have gotten progressively worse, and now that they have implemented 5G, sometimes the signal will drop out all together. I'm in the middle of a metropolitan city, near several cell towers, and have my phone set to go to 5G, or to alternate with LTE in case of a weak signal. Doesn't make a difference. Service is sucking more and more. Here's the deal. I like paying a flat rate ($40 in my case), for relatively unlimited data. Can anyone suggest another carrier that can offer me a similar rate, with better reception?
Thanks!

There's a game series that I want to play (Dragon Quest), but they offer 0 controller support. I couldn't find anything on Google about forcing and mapping controller support. Is there another app I could use to do so without rooting the phone? I've been out of the rooting scene for almost a decade.

Type when using either portrait or landscape, is that a hardware manufunction, on my moto edge plus, as of lately, sorry I just forgot to write in this massive issue like forever ago, is it caused by a third party app? Anyone know why?

Hi,

I've seen that all photos that end up in Crowdsource are from users in Flickr, you can go there by tapping donator's photo.

How can one become a donator?

Hi, I'm working on an app who make the conversion between decimal degrees and degrees minutes seconds. I have to make an "Export" button to export the entered decimal degrees coordinates and the DMS coordinates to a CSV file (the format of the table would be: id, decimal degrees, DMS) and share the file to other apps. Anybody has some hints how should I do that?

Getting a transparent button highlighted in red on my realme GT2 screen, don't know what that is for but that remains over any app i open. Need help to remove it.Anyone knows what that is for?

My S22 Ultra 'International Model' does not support "Add Call" or "Merge Call" functions. The button is whited out in each case. I've had this checked out by Samsung America who said they could not help as the phone is an international model. T-Mobile has no idea what to say.

Would anyone have an idea about this.

Hi, I just bought a new A52s and checked the CPU. However, even though it's listed everywhere as the Snapdragon 778G, in my device it's not there and I see the Cortex-A55 instead.

Is it normal? Thanks in advance for the answers.

Hi! So i have realme C11 2021 and it's running Android 11 Go, when i try installing Google from Play Store, it downloads but when start installing, it gives an error, then i tried installing using adb and i get this error: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DUPLICATE_PERMISSION: Package com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox attempting to redeclare permission com.google.android.apps.now.OPT_IN_WIZARD already owned by com.google.android.apps.assistant]

can anyone please help?

has anyone figured out a way to revert back to the old one? this new one is so buggy and broken.

SOLUTION: File > Settings > Experimental > under Logcat uncheck "Enable new Logcat tool window"

Just curious if any of my fellow AFers play GeoGuessr? I've been quite into it the last few months and thought it might be fun to do a group game sometime if anyone plays.

I am trying to learn about Android Studio Grid Layout with a simple example with four buttons. I have made three copies of a button to get four buttons but they stay on top of each other. I have set 2 rows and 2 columns. Shoulden't the buttons adapt to four separate buttons in a grid?

I have installed Android Studio Chipmunk and I use Windows 11.

2 weeks ago a random unrecognised phone number appeared as the "owner (admin)" on my Huawei phone in the settings under "users and accounts" I only found as I was just looking through the settings.

I was still able to use my phone as normal and had no security notifications from Google or anything...

Firstly I'm at a loss how this was done but secondly - did this person really have total control of my phone and all its contents? I'd almost feel better if it was just google services and I caught it in time

How can there be a different owner/admin while I'm still using my phone without me noticing?

Previously it must have been my Gmail address I guess. I've since factory reset the phone and changed all my passwords which fixed it.

Would love to hear people's technical thoughts on this.

Hi everyone, can I invite you to pre-register for my game? I should launch it soon and I started the pre-registration campaign on the Play Store.

Thank you

Hey everyone.

I have a RealMe 8 Pro, which is a great phone all round! But after the recent update it now runs quite glitchy :'(

Just as an example, if I'm running Google maps and need to have a look at another app it struggles with transitioning between the two and G-Maps will often crash. Or if I get WhatsApp notifications in the drop-down sometimes I can't swipe them away.

I would try clearing cache but they appear to have removed the option from the storage menu also :/

Has anyone got any other suggestions?

TIA

Hey,

Just wondering what app has ✪ as a notification logo? Thanks.

If I let someone use my phone for a while (e.g. make a phone call), how can I prevent the person from reading messages e.g. whatsapp, sms, notes? Is there something like adding a password/fingerprint to apps before it can be opened, or maybe show another screen that do not have whatsapp, sms, notes app?
Thanks.

I have a Pixel 4a 5G running android 11. I've been ignoring the "upgrade to android 12" notification forever because I always had something better to do.

Now android 13 is available, but I hate being an early adopter. Is it too late for me to upgrade from 11 to 12? How would I do that?

CNBC: FedEx CEO says he expects the economy to enter a ‘worldwide recession’.

This is getting me a little worried....
And I think the writing is on the wall.
I'm sure everyone, in every type of business, is going to be hurting.

I always put my phone on silent mode.

Usually if I start playing a media clip, I will increase the media volume and forget about it. After playing a media clip (e.g. voice message in whatsapp or youtube video) I want my phone [media volume] to immediately decrease to 0. Meaning at the start of every clip I want it to start at 0 volume (then I will increase slightly by pressing the + volume button) so I will not disturb anyone of get a sudden loud noise when I play any media.
