I accidentally put my tablet in android recovery mode but i can't select anything because my power button is broken so is there any way for me to select the reboot system now option without the power button?

Gigaset GS4/Android 11; I can access all USB sticks and their files, but not my dashcam - 'Cannot read USB'. I cannot alter USB settings for this connection as there is no connection! I would like to be able to retrieve a dashcam video clip.

Is this possible to achieve?

Hello, does anyone have experience with nearly all your files being suddenly deleted? I woke up and went about my day, to check my phone and find my over 1000+ files in my download folder have all my deleted/is missing, barring about 11 files I've downloaded since the 11th of Jul. Naturally I'd like them back but I'm not sure where to even start. I haven't installed or downloaded anything since yesterday, and as far as backups go I only have one from yesterday morning which apparently doesn't help. Any help on where to start would be much appreciated.

I don't know how to fix this or if it's in Google end . When I go and install a game or app it dose great. But when I pre register for a game . The Google play store app just crashes on me. Any help will be thanked

Hi all,

I thought there used to be a way that you could create a Google Calendar appointment/reminder from an incoming SMS message. For example I received a text this morning to say that something had to be done by a certain date. Currently using Android 12.

Many thanks

Hello. So I'm looking for additional ideas. I'm trying to transfer a large number of photos from my phone to my computer via USB cable. When I connect the phone to the computer I can't get the phone to show up in file explorer. I have tried every idea I can find online. I've tried different USB cables and different computers; it is the same everywhere, every time. When I pull down the status bar on my phone there is no options for charging or file transfer. I searched through every setting function on the phone and can't find anything labeled charging or transfer. I've adjusted and tried different settings on my computer as well. I've updated drivers, restarted both computer and phone - all to no success. I'm running Windows 11 on the computer with a Moto G Stylus with Android Version 11. The only thing that has worked so far is linking my phone to my computer so I can operate the phone through the computer, but this would require transferring the almost 400 photos one at a time by hand and I'm not keen on doing that. Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I am just wondering of the cost that would also bring, as well as even tip over the app, and albums purchase, and subscription per year, with how many albums you want to just download.....

I had to ditch my old LG G4 for a Pixel 6. Almost all of the apps and data on my G4 transferred over to the Pixel, except for QuickMemo. I had a lot of valuable data in QuickMemo and would like to recover it and save it somewhere - either on a compatible app on the Pixel or on my computer. (Windows 10). Any help?

Recent purchase of a Pixel 6 pro has been very disappointing for me. As a life long photographer I feel cheated. The camera maybe ok for the point and shoot crowd but not what I would consider as "Pro". The jpgs are too processed and artificial looking and the RAW function is limited. Video is also very limited by the auto only functions. Panorama photo functions are useless. My old Samsung S9 does a better job on this.

Is there going to be an update or app to address these issues ?

When running the Gradle Sync command in Android Studio...

I get an error message that the CMake is outdated.


This happens even if I remove cmake from the command line. So it seems that cmake is embedded into Android Studio. So how do I update cmake if it is part of Android Studio somehow?

When I go to a webpage on the phone's browser and it displays a URL link to another webpage,what do I do on the phone to follow that link?

Is there a way to disable or remove the Gallery App on the Samsung Galaxy S22+. I want to use Google Photos instead as the default.

The Pixel wireless charger for our Pixel 6 Pro is on sale at Amazon. It's only until the 17th. If anyone is interested.

I could use some brainstorming from the clever folks here. I have an issue with my bedroom door and it's not the end of the world or anything, but I'd be happy to find a solution. Here's the story....

We have to keep my bedroom door open about 6" so my cats can go in and out. The door is only shut all the way when we need to keep pets safe when outside doors are being left open, like when the floors were being refinished. Otherwise, it's partially open. Our dog is much bigger than 6" across, and she has to come and go, too. The way I have it now is a makeshift do-it-yourself method: a 10-pound dumbbell inside a rolled-up bath towel (so it won't scratch the floor when it gets moved). This contraption is on the INSIDE of my room; IOW, there's a 6" space (or larger, after the dog goes in/out) that's open, with nothing between the door and its frame.

When the dog comes in/out, the contraption moves a few inches to accommodate her girth. I can't leave my door OPEN because I'm perpetually hot, and have a window AC unit plus an upright floor fan plus an upright desk fan...and if the door's open, the room doesn't stay cool enough (for me--everyone else claims it's freezing in here! ).

We've also tried the opposite arrangement, i.e., the object blocking the door on the OUTSIDE of my door, between it and its frame, but quickly discarded that as it left the door wide open every time the dog came in/out.

What I'm hoping for is an ATTRACTIVE but functional permanent solution. You know how screen doors automatically close by themselves? Or doors in commercial buildings with those....pneumatic THINGS at the top, that slowly close them automatically. Something like that but pretty. And that would stop automatically at about 6" open. But could allow the door to be SHUT shut when needed. My super-clever handyman is not available right now; I *know* he could rig something like this and make it pretty, too, but he's not an option.

I've omitted WHY the current arrangement isn't good enough: every time a HUMAN comes inside my room, and then leaves, the door is wide open! They have no way from the outside to pull the contraption toward them to [partially] close the door. Yes, I thought about tying string around it and placing that under the door, but between the cats, dog, and people, that's just NOT going to work!

Any and all ideas are gratefully welcomed. Sketches, too, if you'd like to show me visually.

Sorry for the long-winded post, but what else would you expect from me?!

Today NASA released the first picture captured by the James Webb telescope.
My mind is blown!

I want to log out of a secondary Google account each time I close my phone. Is there any method of logging out of an account on close?

T-Mobile's 5G network is phenomenal at my location. The middle bandwidth 5G connection in my area is giving about 800 Mbps of download speed. In my short time on T-Mobile, what is annoying me highly is their technical support. What I am noticing is that:

1) They do not train their level 1 reps, who actually know NOTHING about the details of Android or T-Mobile app.

2) They waste my time extensively, as the untrained rep puts me on hold to talk to level 2. They rarely understand a problem when they come back from that consult.

3) The very worst part is that at the end of every unsuccessful call, the rep tries to "persuade" you to agree with his statement that "I provided you excellent customer service, wouldn't you agree?" Why are they doing this? It's clear that T-Mobile support's management fails to train their employees, and instead, they rely on slick psychological manipulation to improve their ratings. After giving you lousy service, they then bludgeon you with requests for feedback.

I do not want to criticize the rep, because T-Mobile will fire that individual as complaints accumulate. The problem is not the rep. The problem is T-Mobile's support itself, and its failure to train employees, and its failure to give customers an easy way to transition over to level 2 support.

I have a new Google Pixel 6. I love the new version of Android. The transcription of voice mails works with about 85% accuracy and is useful. The problem I am having is that the transcription happens twice. First, in the "Voicemail" tab of the Phone app, I can select voicemails and see a transcription. Nice! But Android is also duplicating that transcription and sending this to me as a text message. Why is that happening? How do I turn off the text? I want to get Android notifications about the voice mail and read the transcription right in the Phone app. What is the point of also getting the same transcription as a text message?

My wife has an iPhone Xr - any time I receive an MMS message from her and it's a new group on my phone, it comes with a 6 prepended to her phone number. If I respond to the group - she does not get the message.
Her SMS messages to me directly have always been fine - this is just her MMS messages.
If I started the group - everything works fine. Has anyone else ran into this? I do not have this problem with any other incoming messages - just hers.

I am trying to make an app which utilizes web components in a webview (but not the built in android webview). What we'd like to accomplish, is that when you hit a button you open a full screen activity, but if you go back, that activity doesn't go away completely but stays in a smaller section on the screen, without losing progress, so that you can click on it and open it up again back and forth seamlessly. A common example of this behavior is something like browsing youtube while viewing a video. The player minimizes to right above the bottom bar, allowing you to browse the app while keeping the video playing with the controls in view (note, this is not the same thing as picture in picture, which is what happens if you exit the app completely while viewing a video).

Would fragments allow this behavior? Or is there something more idiomatic I should look into to achieve this dynamic layout?

Here's a visual for what i mean:

To me it looks like a location icon but it has like a cloud on top

Hello. On a Revvl phone by T-mobile, I have tried to change the sound for inbound text messages, as well as the sound for messages in Gmail. For both, I have gone to the settings of the app, changed to a different sound, ("Calm" vs. "On the Hunt"). After pressing save changes, and restarting the phone, the same, default, original sound is still being heard when a text message or email is received. I went back to the apps' settings, but in both, the correct sound setting appears, ("Calm"). I do not know what else to do at this point. Does anyone have any suggestions for how to fix this?

Thanks in advance.
