Visible Drops Monthly Price to $25.00/mo For All

* Since there is no sub-forum for Visible, I'm posting here as they are a Verizon MVNO
Verizon's Visible Does the Unthinkable by Lowering Plan Prices
My wife and I have been with Visible for a couple years, and no problems; unlimited everything, including wifi tethering! Customer Support is limited to online chat with an agent, but they are actually helpful. I ported my Google Voice number to them, and it went smoothly. The two times I needed help (related to a new phone), they were spot on. They even overnighted me a SIM card. I have heard reports of people with issues paying their monthly bill using the app, but I have automatic payment set up and it's never been an issue. Sign up at visible.com using my referral code, 3mPBpg, and receive $20.00 off your first month of service.

What is the perfect sms messaging service around?

I tried Chomp, it felt pretty good up until my girl did not get her text, I tried Textra but the photos will not load onto a message plethora.
VSM I am highly against, so is there a sms that can do all three?

- send and receive text in a heartbeat without a stop sign beaming up to each message?


- Also send images without the stop sign on it and said "This has been on your forward, would you let it flow?"

I want one that can become a custom notifications, and the colors of the bg, with each string of text being customizer,
Not looking for Go launchers either.

Mi 11T issue with Android Auto

Hey guys

Hope someone can help me. I just got a new Navpro multimedia for my car, and it uses tlink5 to connect with android auto. I was able to use it properly cabled and wireless with other mobiles, but had no luck with my MI 11t. It keeps trying to connect on my mobile, and it stays like this. I already reset Android auto, reinstalled all updates, tried to remove and add Bluetooth connection several times with no luck. I'm on MIUI 14.
Sometimes it shows in my mobile that it's connected, but I still got nothing on the multimedia screen, only "connecting"...

I'm having the same problem with the wired connection =/

Do you have any idea what is happening, and what should I do?
Thanks so much for the help =)

ChatGPT now suggesting replies [SCREENSHOT]

This is pretty neat: ChatGPT is now suggesting replies to keep the conversation going.

chatgpt-suggesting-replies.png


In many ways, this seems modeled after Google's "People Also Ask" sections in Google Search results.

In a way, it's passive onboarding- you're learning about ChatGPT's capabilities each time you read them (even when you don't click). Seems like a helpful addition, although some may feel it clutters the conversation. What do you think?

Group texts

The last time I had an Android phone (Samsung Galaxy S5) the group texts were always strange. When I got a group text, anyone on an Android phone would be grouped together. If they were on an iPhone, their texts would show up in my phone separately. I could tell from their (iPhone user) conversation that they we included in the group text but my reply to them would also be separate on their end. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Is this still an issue? I’ve heard the Google Messages app will resolve issue. Is this true?

Thanks!

Factory Reset Protection on Samsung Galaxy S23

I’m considering buying a Samsung Galaxy S23. This may sound like a weird question but is it possible to set up the Factory Reset Protection so that the user is not able to change the settings and bypass FRP? It seems like FRP is mainly an anti theft feature not so much a parental control or accountability feature.

To give some clarity/background to my question…I tend to spend way too much time online when I should IE go to bed. I’ve been known to reset my iPhone to factory settings to bypass the screen time controls set up by a friend to help keep me focused. The S23 seems like a good option and I also miss my S5 I had a while back. Yes I am aware of flips phones, therapy…etc. I’m looking into those and other options as well.

Any info you have would be greatly appreciated.

Help Samsung browser miscellaneities (GUI and troubleshooting)

I am running the non-updated version of Samsung Browser that comes with Android 11. Its dark mode tabs are black text on grey, and I find this uncomfortable to look at.
Where can I find a version with white text on black tabs in dark mode, and how do I install it (without rooting, if at all possible)

Secondly, one of my tabs is constantly on Google Images. It works as normal, for the most part. I click on an image from the main page and travel through the associated images, and this repeats onward through more sets of images. If I find one I like I use 'view image'. Sometimes this kicks me all the way back out to the base Images page.
How do I troubleshoot this?

Thanks,
Alex

Any Way to Save Google Authenticator Information to Local Device?

Like everyone else I have been forced to upgrade Google Authenticator to the new version that Google has connected to cloud accounts. I do not want to put two factor information in the cloud. Is there any way to export the two-factor information on my phone to an SDcard or to a file on my local phone file system? I only find a function to "transfer accounts" which requires you to go through the cloud.

I want to confirm, this application is not secretly making copies to the cloud until I have explicitly enabled cloud backup?

Help GALAXY A53 5G AND WHATSAPP INCOMING CALL PROBLEM (DO YOU HAVE THE SAME ISSUE ?)

Hi everyone,
Recently I replaced my A53 5g phone with the new one due to WhatsApp incoming call problem. The problem is as when the phone is connected to any internet (Wi-Fi or cellular network) and when the phone screen is locked and in dark/Sleep mode. If someone calls, the phone doesn't ring or vibrate. On the other hand it shows my phone status as "Calling" instead of "Ringing" to the caller. My each incoming call is missed. I tried each and every option, also SAMSUNG authorized experts checked the phone with Remote Access and they declared ALL OK and there is no problem inside the phone. This happens for the last few months. WhatsApp HELP CENTRE is not responding and is a waste of time. I am really very tired of this problem.
PLZ HELP ME ON THE ISSUE.

Game bug

A while back, 20 May 2023 to be exact, I posted saying that Classic Words (a Scrabble game) was playing words that are not in the dictionary. I received several replies which basically said to use a Scrabble dictionary since the one I had used, Merriam Webster, does not show all playable words. Okay

However, when I played yesterday, the game (again) used a group of letters that did not seem like a word. This time, I looked it up in the Scrabble dictionary and guess what - not there. The game is cheating! How can I get the game to play fairly?

Moto E6 / Android 9 (Pie) and 5G network

I just got an email re: Republic Wireless being bought out by Boost Infinite. It says they will send me a new SIM card and everything else will be fine.

My question is this: My phone is a Moto E6 with Android 9 (Pie). Under "preferred network type" it says "LTE (recommended)". When I tap on that, it says it can also work with 3G and 2G. Boost Infinite is a 5G network. But when I called their support, I was told that they also use "4G LTE" and that that would most likely work with my phone because of LTE.

Is that true? Any info and would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
