Just upgraded from a Samsung Note9 to the Fold4. I didn't know there is a S Pen Fold Edition vs a S Pen Pro. The Fold edition S pen that came with the case, does not have functions the Note9 S Pen has. I used the S pen button to take pictures on the Note9. The Fold Edition button will not operate the camera. I am looking at getting the Pro S pen, but looks like it will not fit the case I bought with the Fold4. Lookiing for a case that will hold the Fold4 and the S Pen Pro. Have not found one yet. Anyone know of a case that will hold the Fold4 and the S pen Pro?

Hi,

upfront: sorry for this being a little bit long, but it needs the explanations...

I just found this awesome method to uninstall these preinstalled/unwanted apps from my phone via Android Debugging Bridge. Before I thought the only way to do that would be to root the device. Well, it all worked just fine, the apps are gone and I'm happy. What I basically did was deleting (among other apps) all the Samsung apps for the standard phone tasks (phone, messages, notes, calendar), because I'm using only the Google equivalents for those tasks.

Just one problem wasn't solved by deleting those apps - my Google calendar.

On the left you see a screenshot of Google calendar from my smartphone showing the four categories in my calendar: blue - events | yellow - tasks | red - reminders | green - birthdays

On the right you see a screenshot of Google Calendar opened on my PC. The categories match (instead of events there is written my actual name), they are synchronized, everything is fine.

The problem is with this additional "My calendar" (circled) on my smartphone, which I don't want to be there. It is not being synchronized (which is good), so I'm guessing that this is the preinstalled default "on-device" calendar. Until now, I couldn't find any way to delete it... Now coming back to the beginning about deleting the preinstalled apps, I thought that deleting the Samsung Calendar app would resolve this problem - it also didn't.

In the list of all installed apps in ADB I had four entries searching for "calendar", after deleting the Samsung Calendar app it's three:
1) com.google.android.calendar
2) com.google.android.syncadapters.calendar
3) com.samsung.android.calendar (this is the deleted Samsung app)
4) com.android.providers.calendar

Now to my questions:
a) Does anyone know how to delete the "My calendar" from my Google Calendar or better, how to delete it completely from my phone and with that automatically from my Google Calendar

b) Does this app #4 (com.android.providers.calendar) have anything to do with this or what is this app doing exactly (in German it's called "Kalenderspeicher" which means something like "calendar memory" or "calendar storage")

Thank you for your help!

When my secuirty patch came in the state the other day, was eating at ninety-nine restraunt in Plymouth, were my summer cottage is, it went through pretty well when dining in, after that, the chopping motion starting to act up and was using it to walk down the hill by my neighbro's place, and suddenly it was a bothersome with that motion, soooo I was left for a second just standing in pitch blackness, due to the surrounding forest, so after just turning that off, it will go bonkers when the screen uptime was at my default, around 15 seconds, and yet I did left it on with the screen time out in the cabinet I have here, and seems pretty okay for the time being. Sooo I am hoping my Moto edge plus, will make it throughout night time when I do photograph evening images...

So glad that is just a small glitch though, it has been acting odd though when charging, swiping apps running around about 5 seconds when turning from Nova launcher, and when unplugged it was better of running through the apps like they where normal.. So yeah tale of two cities.

After the last update, the first user (me) that I had pinned to top of messages was wiped from my phone. I used My Google Message Restore from 3 days ago and it only restored about 10 older messages.
Any others have this issue? Is there any other place I could try to retrieve the messages from?
Thanks

Hi All,

I don't have a lot of experience with android, so I'll just outline what I'm trying to achieve, and what I've tried so far.

I work at a company that makes custom furniture, and we label every part individually.
The label contains a QRcode, I want to scan that code on my phone, and it should open a PDF on a local server.

When I (test) scan a Sharepoint-link this way, it brings me to the PDF perfectly, however, I cant use sharepoint links for this, as all files are automatically placed on this local server.

I think the QR-code should be
- smb://server/folder/filename.pdf
However, without 3rd party software it just opens the link like a textfile.

there are several apps that should add this functionality, but the problem so far is:
I can connect to the server in the app fine, but it still wont open de smb:// link
(smart File Manager/File Commander/Cx File Explorer)
I cannot connect to the server in the app, but it does open the smb:// link in the app.
(andSMB)

My question:
Is there a way to manually open all scanned QR-codes with a smb:// link in a certain app?

Thanks in advance!
Koen

Would anybody please help me choose the right USB driver for my tablet. Alldocube iPlay 20s with Android 11. Thank all
I've searched in Google Play and there are two results that might be suitable for my device. Microsoft and Google. Again, thanks

My Lenovo tablet (TB-J716F) has an issue with its clockrates. It refuses to clock the Snapdragon 870 CPU cores over 1ghz and the Adreno-GPU stays at 300mhz locked, even tho temperatures do not exceed 40C, unless it detects that a benchmark is running. I found something to manually adjust CPU clocks on my rooted device and that works great so far.

I tried Konabess already and deleting everything except the highest frequency finally worked and temperatures are great, but having it constantly run at 670mhz drains the battery too much.

is there a way to manually control the frequencies without using Konabess?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

While I'm connected to my car via Bluetooth, I am not able to adjust the call volume on my phone; it is stuck half way. I disabled absolute volume, but it still cannot be adjusted. When making a call off of Bluetooth, I have no trouble adjusting the volume. This issue is only while connected to Bluetooth. Any other suggestions?

1. Whats is the difference between download and install whatsapp from https://www.whatsapp.com/android/ vs https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.whatsapp

2. If I do not have playstore, what are the ways to download whatsapp?

Thanks.

My front camera (selfie camera as my mrs calls it) stopped working. Spent an hr in live chat with google, still unresolved. They told me to hard reset my phone to stock - which I do not want to do as setting up my work security stuff takes eons...Anyway - anybody experience this and resolve it. I don't recall changing any permissions or downloading any apps where I revoked permissions. Back camera works just fine....

I bought phones for my employees. One left, and gave me back her phone. I did a factory reset, thinking it would wipe everything and come back like a new phone. But it now locks me out and still remembers the Google ID and lock screen pattern from the former user. How do I take this back to actual new condition, no lock screen no google account no password. Just a "blank" phone I can set up on the network again.

I know Play services are unavoidable and even necessary but the app ads are really annoying and also it's a huge data hog, overall. Any way of killing the ads or at least causing them to suggest something useful? Friggin game ads - arrggh.

Just this evening I've noticed the adaptive brightness on my Pixel 6 Pro to be much too bright. In a pretty dark room it's setting the brightness to around 90%! I've had to switch it to manual, which isn't ideal.

Can anyone think of a reason why this might change, and how to rectify it?

I think there should be a setting for adaptive brightness where you tell it, roughly, how light you like it. Some prefer a very bright screen and others prefer it a bit dimmer....

Many thanks in advance.

Hi everyone. I'm new here and I 'd like some help.I have a Pixel 3. Now I'm told I should upgrade to Pixel 6 so I will receive security upgrades. I don't do a lot with my phone. I use only a few apps and I don't store any personal data. Do I really need these security upgrades? What will these upgrades protect me from as I store no information on my phone? Do I really need to spend $500 on another phone? If so, then for what? Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

I installed GrapheneOS on a Pixel 3. Now I'm told I should upgrade to Pixel 6 so I will receive security upgrades. I don't do a lot with my phone. I use only a few apps and I don't store any personal data. I got GrapheneOS mainly so i wouldn't be tracked by Google and always be providing them my location. Do I really need these security upgrades? What will these upgrades protect me from as I store no information on my phone? Do I really need to spend $500 on another phone? If so, then for what? Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

I have noticed a rather strange thing with my S21 Ultra. Whenever I play a YouTube video or any kind of video from a website, I pull down the main panel screen and it shows this(See below). It automatically starts playing. What does this mean and is my phone's activity being cast on some random device? I actually have never authorized or heard of this device before. I'm no expert but I actually never cast my phone anywhere, I just use my phone for texting and calling. I'm worried that someone is hacked my phone but I have all updates for my apps and am very discipline with updating.

I have a problem with this phone, and in fact I had the same problem with my S10e. Some sites simply don't scale properly, as you can see by the screen shot below. And of course the most pertinent info, in this case the flight times, are the ones that are compromised. Turning it sideways doesn't help. Was traveling with a buddy with an iphone, a much smaller screen than mine, and his displayed perfectly. This particular case is the Allegiant app, if that's not obvious, but I see it with other sites. For instance, on a log in screen, the field to type in the un or pw is so narrow that you have to type blind and hope. Can anyone tell me what I'm missing here? Thanks!

Hi,

I would like to automate the opening of my garage door. The garage door is opened by opening an app, and then clicking a button in this app.
I would like to create an automatic rule that whenever I pass a certain geolocoation, opens the gate app and click on this button.
I tried ifttt but it seems it cannot click the in app button, just open the app.
Any ideas?

Best,
Eli

Good day.
I want to ask how to turn it off so that the lock screen does not start after startup.
Just so I don't have to swipe up.
My mobile phone is set to unlock without a password.
I just want the launcher to start right away.

Thank You

Hey there! Bought LG G7 ThinQ on the secondary market. Everything is fine except one — there is no mobile data on it. I can call or text, I can use Wi-Fi, but mobile data doesn't work.
I tried to add a new APN, but there is no way to do it in settings (Screenshots). Also, I tried the "Add APN" apk, but it didn't help me too.
Then I tried doing a factory reset, resetting network settings, but it still doesn't work.
What should I try before rooting the device and reflashing it?[GALLERY=media, 1715]Screenshot_20220825-140405 by andryuhaagressor posted Aug 25, 2022 at 2:10 PM[/GALLERY][GALLERY=media, 1714]Screenshot_20220825-140413 by andryuhaagressor posted Aug 25, 2022 at 2:10 PM[/GALLERY]

My old phone is unable to stay on for a long time. so I quickly copy and paste all the
files in the phones to my pc. Just a simple connect usb cable to phone, copy
the files that are inside phone internal storage and then paste into my windows pc.

Now my old phone is faulty and unable to switch on, no longer able to use it.

1. Can I restore my new phone to have everything that was in the old phone by using smart switch or any other methods by connecting usb cable from pc to new phone? (note that the files inside pc is not made by smart switch, the files are just a simple copy (from the old phone) and paste (into pc)

2. How to restore the old phone sms messages history and contacts (from old phone files in pc) to my new phone?

Thanks.

Look.

I know there are people out there who don't even blink twice with spending $2000 USD every week on a new phone, but I'm not like that. I don't even like buying another phone every other year, much less every year like I had to do with sealed battery phones.

For $420 USD, this, is all I could get. And even then, I still think that's too much.

I need root. Now. I refuse to put up with factory ROM ad hell and apps that I can't uninstall shoving ads on me and eating space.

I already know the battery is going to be a point of pissing me off. I don't need the software to make my life a nightmare, as well.

Seems there are not alot good phones that are new Motorola G power is supposed have a worse processor than the 2022 model. Currently have the Moto E6 but doesnt work with my headset because they made mic jack very cheaply and not tight enough.
Anyone have a G Power 2022 ? is it any good what other new phones are decent that are in same price range?

I have google family link app setup for my kids device, an sm-a505w. It works just fine and has without issue for over 2 years, both on her old device and current one (old one not linked or usable). Functionally, if I set something like a time limit or restriction on anything, whether that be a global option like total time limit for the day, bedtime hours (phone not usable during the period) etc.... Or an app specific setting like time allowed for that app, blocking app, permissions etc.... It works. Even right now I can see a bunch of apps where she hit the daily time limit allowed and confirmed the app can't be launched. But recently, I noticed that the time reported seemed to be going up.... I don't know if she found some kind of loophole or what, but specifically, it appears that Google chrome as listed in the apps is able to use more time than was set as a limit. Only that app. I wondered if the built in Google search bar gets considered as Google chrome, but maybe family link only blocks or controls the actual chrome standalone app launcher?

Not sure if thisnis the right place but but I just got my galaxy fold 4 and after setting up I'm seeing this notification ("WiFi Calling - Tap here to confirm or update emergency location information for wifi calling") and everytime I tap on it it shows a loading pop up at the bottom of the screen and always fails saying "unable to activate wifi calling at this time". Anyone else having this issue or know any solution?
