You may have seen that big changes are coming:

Some big updates as we experiment with the path forward:

• We've installed "Tag Essentials" which we hope can be used to replace our former "Channels" functionality, allowing us to create virtual "forums" around specific phones, devices, and other topics.
• We've re-installed Media Gallery and Resource Manager. These were used sparingly in previous iterations of AF and we may be starting from scratch here. We'll see.

If you spot these new features and have suggestions/opinions, please speak up! We've got lots of testing to do and will try to make things perfect with your help.

I press the microphone button on the remote control and nothing happens. I can't find a specific thing in settings to turn it back on, or turn it on/off at all. Edit: I have just now noticed that every other button on the remote when pressed causes the light on the bottom of the TV to flash, but the microphone one does not. Has to be a hardware thing I think. Thanks all for replies

Along with my pre-order for the Fold5, I threw in the official Samsung Fold5 stand and strap case to start me off. No doubt I will be looking to get other cases as the range increases.



MobileFun are offering some different cases, here...

This is getting extremely frustrating. I have a 2022 Kia Stinger. Ok google works fine when i get in the car and am connected to bluetooth and/or android auto. When I get out of the car and get on my mobile data or another wifi network, "ok google" has no response. Doesn't even trigger the assistant... I have to force close the app and then it works immediately... How do I fix this?

edit: phone is a Z Fold 4

please help me lmk what icon this is its a square and top right is blue and the bottom left is red..

I decided to link my S23 to my PC via USB, and it looks like it's impossible. The web says to find a Settings area labeled "System" and change the USB setting. My phone has no "System" area. I looked through all the settings, and I can't find anything that relates to connecting via USB.

I saw a bunch of nonsense about going through Microsoft, logging in, blah blah blah. I have no interest in turning this into a huge project. I just want to connect so I can delete a bunch of old files from the phone.

Nothing shows up on the PC or phone when I connect the cable, and I installed Samsung's USB driver on the PC.

Samsung have finally announced the details for the Galaxy Z Fold5 and Flip5.


Launch date is 11th August but those pre-ordering could receive them as early as the 4th August.

Not too much difference in spec's from the Fold4. See the differences, here...


Not too much difference in price for those pre-ordering as 512GB storage is being offered for the price of 256GB = £1,749.00p

Hello, I'm trying to connect to a VPN through OpenVPN and a SSH tunnel, but the browser won't forward my traffic to an app running in the subnet of the server, even though VPN is connected and the SSH tunnel says that I'm also connected to the server. (Works properly on PC)

Could this be a problem with SSH tunnel traffic forwarding in android or should I look elsewhere?

My phone is a Samsung Galaxy A53 5G, I've tried two SSH clients: JucieSSH and OpenSSH in Termux. I've also tried two VPN clients: OpenVPN from the PlayStore and OpenVPN for android from F-Droid.

I have a Samsung s21 ultra and my calls have been going in and out
Verizon support says bad connection to cell towers but I have seen a lot of articles that it was the Samsung Android update from June or July 6 I just got another update today July 29


Anyone on this forum having this issue

Also sometimes clicking hang up it takes a while to hang up

Android devs: when attaching an image to a text message on Samsung Zflip 4, how do I change default sort order? Is it possible to edit Google messages app settings to default to this A to Z sort setting?

anybody play it?
i think this is cool seeing the tennis greats play it:

Any recommendations on an older model android to root? I don't want to root my Z Fold 4 so I am just going to purchase another phone like Galaxy S18 for example.

Let the experiments begin!

• Forum link to AF at the top right
• Green "POSTS" button links to AF's "What's New"
• Full List of Categories with Recent Posts

Keep in mind this is a draft. The content is incomplete. This is a placeholder.

We'll want to correlate WordPress Taxonomies (Categories, Tags, etc) with Xenforo Forum Taxonomies (Nodes, Prefixes, Custom Thread Fields, etc), so the structure is important. It needs to be clear and concise yet comprehensive. I've been researching solutions and am currently exploring 2 options more closely.

More to come soon...

Hi. I just downloaded Avast Essentials to my Samsung A31 after stupidly clicking on a dodgy link sent to me via WhatsApp from a former work colleague. Do I need to deactivate the pre existing McAfee antivirus thats in-built to the phone? Thanks in advance for any helpful advice.

Are there any decent mobile webcams that work with Android that I can use for my zoom calls while im in my car??? I am assuming that most of them would be bluetooth

Share your opinions!

• What phone do you have? Do you like it?
• If someone asked you what phone to buy, what would you tell them?

Input will be used for this article on Daily.net:

Android Forums is transitioning to The Daily Net!

It's primarily a name change- all of the site's conversations will be preserved on the new domain. However, we'll need to move the community to a subdomain or directory (ex: daily.net/forum or forum.daily.net).

State your case for your favorite! Feel free to suggest your own ideas.

My personal favorite right now (it keeps changing):

The main site would be housed at The Daily Net - Breaking News but then you can join "the" club at https://the.daily.net where all the forum content is found. So, for example, the URL to this thread would become:

I have an app which claims to store data in the folder "/data/user/0/edu.berkeley.boinc/client"

However Android 11 is being difficult and this path looks different everywhere I look, and I cannot get to the files in it. I tried:

1) USB cable to Windows 11 PC. I thought this showed the whole disk without restrictions. But I see (with the phone set to "USB for file transfer"):
Card, Phone (those are the two drives, card is the SD card, not applicable here). I remember naming these myself some time ago.
In "phone" I have no data folder, but I can go into "Android", which then contains "data". Inside "data", there is no "user", but I do find "edu.berkeley.boinc". This however only contains "files" which is empty. So to summarise I looked for "/data/user/0/edu.berkeley.boinc/client" and found only "Android/data/edu.berkeley.boinc/files".

2) The app "Total Commander" which I read elsewhere shows all files without having to root the phone. On this, I see two "drives" listed at the top with a symbol which looks like an SD card. One is called DICAM-400, which I know to be the SD card, that label is made by the camera I took it from. The other is however called "Internal shared storage". So I think it's not getting to see everything. There is also further down the list a folder icon called "file system root" which I thought would be the real root of the drive. I find: "Internal shared storage/Android/data" but find nothing in there except file commander. I also find "file system root/data/data" but find nothing in there except file commander.

Can someone please untangle this mess and stop me going insane? I just want to see what's on the disk and delete some unnecessary things as it's very full.

I could also move apps to the SD card, but the two biggest ones are Boinc and Google Maps, and both do not have the button to move storage to the SD card, presumably they aren't compatible with doing so?

I ue the Verizon voicemail app to listen to voicemails. Lately when I have a voicemail, it always plays on speaker phone. I click on the speaker icon to shut it off but it stays on the speakerphone for everyone to hear. Anyone else have this problem?

Dear team,

I want to know why my Siccura work application is showing as a harmful app in Play Protect. How can I verify it as safe software while running Play Protect in the Play Store? For more information, I am attaching the error image on Android version 13.

Hi I have a problem with my audio output on my Android tablet. This is my setup from my tablet:

Tablet - USB C adaptor - USB audio adapter - headphones (out) piano (in)

I can hear streaming audio but can't hear the piano even though the piano is being registered by Yousician.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
