Bookcase = head case

I don't know why I bought this thing. I should know better: "easy assembly no tools required". Maybe it was because it's all I can barely afford (about $20). It's made out of some cheap crap, particleboard, probably. Th

e big trick is getting the round plastic things magically through the round holes at the corners. Then stick the plastic poles into them, make sure they're tight, and build it up to 4 layers. If it ever did get put together, it could barely hold over 30 pounds. Is there some way to get this done or should I just return it? I sure wish I could afford the good stuff.

Search People Free

I have started getting messages from the site Searchpeoplefree. These are not emails or traditional messages...they show up in my drop-down. Very annoying as there are frequently 20 or 30 of these several times a day.
I searched for how to block these, but all of the posts instruct on how to remove your personal information from the site and not how to block their messages on my phone

Help Removing unwanted widgets/bloatware

Hi all, I'm hoping someone can help me troubleshoot some weird things my mother-in-law's phone is doing.

Two things:
  1. The typical google search widget has been replaced by what seems to be a search widget that leads to Yahoo results. Long press on the widget does not give the option to move or remove. It seems locked in place. Also long press on blank area of the screen does not give the option to add any other widgets.
  2. There is a 'down arrow' floating on the top right corner of the home screen. Pulling down on it seems to give a news feed populated by facebook articles.
Is there anyway to get rid of these two things and restore normal widget functionality. I didn't see any weird apps that would be the culprit and I couldn't find any settings to disable widgets or the newsfeed pulldown.

Help [Evolution X] Change pop-up order; Remove underline

Hello,

I have a couple of questions about using the Evolution X ROM. Asking in its Telegram channel didn't help.

1. Is there a way to change the display order for accented characters? Currently, it starts with digits, while I most often need to use accented characters

2. I found no way to remove the underline even after disabling every obvious option in Settings > System > Languages & Input.

Thank you.

FK bluestack ads..

Hi guys do you know any android emulators for pc with no forced pop up ads while gaming?

Bluestack is pissing me off, it crash or force a pop up ad while I'm in game, really destroying players experience.
I buy it if they show ads outside the game but forcing a pop up ad randomly is not okey even if the user don't subscribe.
I don't want to be forced to subscribe to get rid of it.

Blustack is shit now compared to back in the days when it was smooth and player friendly. Greedy pigs only care about money nowadays.

Phone won't come on.

Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G, US Version, 128GB, Phantom Black for AT&T (Renewed)
I bought this phone from Amazon. I inserted the simm card from an iphone 10, using AT&T. The simm card was the same size as the Androids- no problem inserting the card. The problem is that, even though the phone is now fully charged, I can't get it to do anything. Tapping has no effect. Pushing the buttons on the side of the phone- same thing- nothing. No welcome screen, nothing.
As you have probably figured out, all of this is completely new to me, so please respond as if I don't know for sure how to even turn an
Android phone on- because I may not.

Storing Contacts to SIM Card doesn't work!

All I want to do is make a copy of my phone contacts on my SIM Card. I've tried 3 different android phones with 3 different SIM cards, and not a one of them will copy to the SIM card. I get errors from all 3 phones. I can export to a vcf file but when I try to import to the SIM, I get an error (the exact message varies with the phone). I've also tried several SIM manager apps from the playstore and none of them work either. The apps can read the info on the SIM card but show contacts as empty.

I have come to the conclusion that something must have changed in android as compared to years ago, when I was able to do this without errors. The phones I have tried vary from Android 5.1 to 7.1 . Looks to me like some kind of a permissions problem with writing to the SIM card.

Anybody have any thoughts on why I'm having this problem? Any suggestions?

Can you export contacts to the SIM card on your phone? If so, let me know. Maybe I have to adjust some settings.

I just factory reset my phone

I had to. It started acting flaky some months ago, locking up for seconds or, sometimes, even minutes, for no apparent reason, then its fingerprint feature started failing, then....well, a bunch of stuff that made it basically unusable! So a few minutes ago I took a deep breath, reminded myself that everything is backed up--and, besides, since I barely even use it any more, even if something did get lost in the shuffle, it couldn't be that important, what with not even having looked at [whatever it may be] for a year or more!

It's doing its thing right now, installing and updating apps. restoring backups, and so on. It's already vastly improved--I can use it now for more than 5 seconds without any problems!! :o :D

Mods, I know this really should be on an Android board, but OT feels more like home these days. Move if you must! :)

Oh, FWIW this is the Motorola One Hyper that I got....two(?) years ago. It's a great phone and I've loved using it, but it really had become unusable, so wiped it was! I don't know and, frankly, don't care what caused it to become so unstable. As long as it doesn't reappear!

Using google maps, weather channel, etc, etc?

So, presently have a Samsung A53 5G. I NEVER use(turn on) wifi except to download updates for the phone. I use my phone a s a phone period. Talk and text.
Anyway, all of a sudden things like google maps, weather channel need wifi on to use. I never had to turn wifi on before for this.
Very basic I know, but trust me, unless it was switching on automatically and then turn off automatically when I used google maps or weather channel something has changed. I NEVER turned it on myself. Of course, If I now turn it on these things do work.
What changed? Just an old guy who does not understand what changed. Perhaps some setting on the phone?
Thanks folks

Need old messages

Hello. I recently got a new phone and upon doing the Smart Switch I opted only to transfer only the last 6 months of text messages over. Of course I'm no in desperate need of the remaining messages. I used the Google Messages app. Is there anyway I can retrieve these messages? They weren't deleted, just not carried over to my new phone.

Help BASIC A 12 tutorial for new user?

My spouse just got a OnePlus Nord N200 (free from T-Mobile) to replace an old LG G4. The gesture system and other changes have her frustrated. Need I say, she is not technical at all?

Can anyone recommend basic video tutorials for use of Android 12 or this phone in particular? I have looked at several on YouTube, but so far, they all talk mainly about changing wallpaper or how marvelous, fantastic, and revolutionary it is to change icon colors. None talk about actually using the system -- the gestures, for a big example.

Any help before she tries to flush the phone down the toilet?

Slow charging Samsung A02s

This thing has been plugged in overnight and it's still only 24%. I think that's even lower than it was last night. I keep getting these messages about how weak it is and that I should use the charger that came with it. This is exactly what I've been doing. Why do Samsungs have such a problem with their chargers? It seems almost any other phone will work with whatever charger.

Help TF201 EE Pad Update problem

I recently came across my old Transformer Prime TF201 EE pad.
However everything is now out of date on it (Haven't used it in about 7 years) and I cannot connect to most web sites.
I have a strong internet connection but I think my browser is out of date.
When I try to do a software update I get an internet connection error. When i try to get to asus.com I get website not available, playstore gives me a couldn't establish a secure connection error.
I am assuming this is because my browser is no longer supported, it is the one that came pre-installed on the unit when I first bought it back in 2012.
Does anyone know how I can get a more up to date browser installed without internet?
I have tried rooting the device but again I get this internet connection error when I run the unlock device tool. (Unknown error occurs, which may be a network connection issue)
I have trawled through youtube and tried everything I have found, but without the internet connection I seem to be stuck.

Rebooting

I have a Samsung Note 9 with a slightly cracked screen which is now rebooting. However, the rebooting is not random.

  • It does not reboot if I'm using the device
  • It does not reboot when charging
  • The rebooting is a loop repeating every 5 minutes or so
  • When I'm using the device, the battery drains normally
  • When left unattended in the reboot loop, the battery drains to 0 in about an hour
My short-term fix is to remap the Bixby button to start an app called "Digital Clock". If I remember to do this when putting my device down, my battery lasts all day.

FYI: I've researched this extensively. Its not security updates, auto reboot, etc...
