Baseball fans.....

.......if you could put together a team comprised of only players whose careers have started in your earthly campaign, that is to say, if you were born in 1980, then only players whose rookie year was 1980 and beyond, no player prior to your hatching is eligible, who would you choose?

Players could still be among the living, or in the permanent dugout.

For me it goes:

1B Don Mattingly
2B Ryne Sandberg
SS Ozzie Smith
3B Wade Boggs
C Gary Carter
OF Tony Gywnn
OF Rickey Henderson
OF Ichiro
DH Ken Griffey Jr

SP Greg Maddux
SP Randy Johnson
SP Roger Clemans
SP Max Scherzer

WhatsApp chat file; copy, edit and print????

Hello Forum,

I have a Samsung Core Prime mobile, which currently has a live WhatsApp chat file that I would ideally like to transfer to my Dell Laptop and duly print it out.

The objective is to have a file which I can view, edit, copy and print out.

Although I have tried to find a solution online, it seems somewhat problematic. Although the typical advice is to select the 3 dots (top right) then select Export chat, choice of with or without media, then having chosen with media; Initialising process, then ‘Send chat via: WhatsApp, Messages, Bluetooth, Memo.

I choose Messages and it responds - Unfortunately, Messages has stopped. Tried Memo, refers to email, offers to Save but I can’t find any trace of an email containing the WhatsApp chat???

Can anyone tell me how I can easily and safely (do not want to lose it) transfer/copy this WhatsApp chat file to my Dell Laptop in order to view, edit and print, please??

Thanks to anyone for considering this request.


Regards

Help Where do you find out how long a phone will get updates for?

I want to know how long individual phone models will get updates for before I buy one and I want to be able to look it up for every model I'm interested in. For example in this quote from a review, where did they get that information?

"Samsung promises four years of update support—including upgrading from Android 11 to 12 in summer 2022—so the A13 5G is safe to use through early 2026. Other phones in this price range often only receive security patches for half that long."

Link removed. Not needed
Right now I'm looking at Samsung A22 5G and M23 5G but I'll want to check on some others too.



How to replace the default Google account with one of the other Google accounts on Android 10 phone

Hello,
I searched the web for this and from all I found the instructions if I understand correctly, are that the first Google account I create on the phone becomes the default and to change that I have remove all my Google accounts by going to 'Settings' then 'Google' then ' >' then 'Manage accounts on this device' then select each account and choose 'Remove account' and finally add the desired default account.
But I would like to know what happens if I remove only my default Google account from my phone when I have multiple accounts? I guess Google have to use one of the other accounts as default but which one?

Also when I go to 'Settings' then 'Google' then '>' Google shows a list of all Google accounts with the default account on top of the list separated with a line from the other accounts. There, if I press on any of the other accounts, I'm sent back to the previous screen 'Google' and the chosen account is now displayed on the place of the default account. This looks as if I'm replacing the default account with one of the other accounts just like that but I can't find anywhere on the web if that's actually what it is.

I will greatly appreciate your help with this

BMW E46 Full media head unit.Android 8

Hi Guys First time here so hope this post is in correct Forum. I have fitted to my car (an addon from 5yrs ago) Android 8. BMW E46 full media device.7" touch screen.
In essence it has served me well, but I have a few niggles which I have no idea how to solve.
One being, that some of the icons on the touch screen have disappeared! I can find them in internal storage, but only options given are Force stop or Disable.
Could I please have some advice as to how I restore them to touch screen? Thanks.

The Future of NFL Viewing

Today I became aware that Thursday Night Football will now and for the next 11 years only be streamed by Amazon Prime Video. I am a prime subscriber so I'm not really impacted. However, a lot of NFL viewers are not prime members. This is only the beginning. This is the last year that DirecTv has the exclusive rights to the out of market NFL games. According to Roger Goodell, next year all out of market games will be on a streaming service. Apple, Disney, and Amazon are bidding to have exclusive rights. Perhaps this is a progression but perhaps not. It will okay with me until I have to have this service for these games and another service for some other games. I will still have my TV service that I pay dearly for as well as some streaming services including Prime. If Apple or Disney win the bid for the NFL Ticket, I will have to subscribe to that service or miss some of the games. They are pricing the fan out of viewing IMO. I personally think it's bad for the game and I know it's bad for the NFL fan's wallet.
What's your take on our streaming sports future?

Help dual localise my dual SIM Android

I have a OnePlus Nord running Android 12 (OxygenOS). It is not rooted. As I travel between the UK and Japan a lot, I have a UK and a JP SIM in it.

I want to install both UK and JP specific apps, but am currently only localised in the UK. Further, I understand that I can only change my localisation once every six months.

Ideally, I'd like to dual localise, to have the full suite of UK and JP apps available. Is this possible?

If not, would either of these work:
  1. side load apps to avoid the localisation barriers in the Play Store;
  2. maintain two separate profiles, one localised to each?
  3. does rooting help? I don't think I'm running any apps that would break if I did.
Thanks!

Downloading videos to Android device from iCloud

Hello all, I had an iPhone SE that recently quit working and I've been trying to download videos from my iCloud account to the only other phone I have which is an Android Samsung Galaxy phone. Ive tried with 3 different web browsers (Chrome, Edge, Samsung Internet). They all just open a blank page that says about:blank#blocked in the address bar when trying to download or even just play a video. Not sure what the issue is, any help or suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.

Whatsapp says can not restore messages from the backup.

Good morning!

I am having problem restoring a backup from the cloud (google drive)
i wanted to migrate my whatsapp from my tablet to my phone, therefore i did a backup at 5am, it was a 15gb backup.

i deleted the whatsapp and all the files in the tablet, then uninstalled whatsapp.

then i installed whatsapp in my phone, put the phone number, selected to restore and successfully found the backup i did create early, i selected the restore option and it start to do it's thing. but suddently there was an error saying it was unable to restore messages, then gave me option to skip or to restore an earlier backup.

but when i select to restore an earlier backup, it suppose to show me previous backup version, the previous backup version was on 9th this month, and the google account where i have the backup was gray out, meaning there is no more backup there

Can I recover with dead screen?

So I have a very old phone at home ( gt i8260 ) that I would like to download some files from.

The phone has a dead screen, just 2 red and green lines, but it powers on, and the computer also detects it, but it wont let me explore the files because I think it has a screenlock but I cant unlock that without the screen :) What is the best possibility do do this?

Simple stupid App?

Sorry for the simple question.

I need a simple app that does nothing until close, then saves a log file.

It will run on an Android based Garmin GPS, and I want to save the trip log to the SD card when I turn off the engine.

1) I want it to start automatically when powered on.
2) I want it to save the log file when powered off.

Not sure what project template to start with:
* Basic Activity
* Empty Activity
* No Activity?

Would this be a daemon?

S21 camera level very inaccurate, how to calibrate?

Hello all,

My S21 Ultra camera level is way off and there does not appear to be a way to calibrate it. When in pro video or pro photo mode with grid squares enabled, there is a horizontal line through the frame which is supposed to be a level indicator so you know the horizon will be level in the photo, but mine is off by a whopping almost 5 degrees and I cannot find any way to calibrate it. I have a separate level app as well as the level the s21 Ultra comes with and they are okay, but that is because they have a calibrate button within the apps that allows you to get it right. I want my level in the camera app to be correct, not WAY off. Can anyone help? Incidentally a google search for S21 Ultra camera level calibration produces no answers. Apparently, I have the only S21 ultra on earth with this problem. Please help if possible.

Thanks,

--Jim

The Camouflage tool should be on your phone

I just read an article from the XDA Developers titled,
"Magic Eraser’s Camouflage tool is rolling out to the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro"
Here is the link:
https://www.google.com/url?rct=j&sa...NvbTplbjpVUw&usg=AOvVaw03EpGxd-lszm-24xOF_OnZ

I checked my phone and it is there. To see it, open a photo, tap "Edit", "Tools" then "Magic Eraser". It will be one of the choices. What it does is better explained in the article. How it got on our phones is a good question since we're still waiting for the August update.
Thought you'd like to know. (◉‿◉)

Cant get J5 to work again

My phone is now somehow stuck. When I power it on it goes into that black menu where I can select:
- reboot system now
- reboot to bootloader
- apply update from ADB
- apply update from SD card
- wipe data factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- mount system
- view recovery logs
- power off

And no matter what I do, I cant get anything to work. If I try to wipe data and do factory reset it gives me following error:

E:format_volume: make ext4 failed on /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/userdata with 1 (I/O error), data wipe failed.

Help Video recording auto stop problem

While taking video using the default Samsung Note 8 Camera app, a file is sent to me via bluetooth (there will be a popup something like asking me to accept or decline the file). Once I press accept or decline the incoming file, the video will auto stop recording immediately.

Q1. How to prevent video from stopping recording in the above situation?

Q2. Does incoming call or pressing accept/decline incoming call auto stop video recording?
