Last night my friend was cooking something on the stove and forgot. He went out and did some other things. When we came back the smell was unbelievable. I said he should leave it in the pot until morning, but he wanted to hurry. The handle came off the lid and the stench stuck around despite open windows and door and the fan over the stove. I could still notice it when I came back this morning. I think air freshener isn't gonna help this one. What can be done? I hope the pot is salvageable because it was a good one. Can the lid be saved? I wanted to post this in off topic but I couldn't find it.

I think this is in the right section so I have a headwolf Wpad3 running Android 12 I've wipped the tablet clean to install it fresh again and I think the crashes have something to do with an update but these are the issues

Youtube after the update on the system crashes the app as soon as it loads.. I tried force stop.. I even uninstalled it and installed it again and it didn't work at all it still crashes.. next is the Digital wellbeing same issue.. Now the new one is the Quickstep app.. It's very fustrating.. It's to the point now I'm wondering if I could root the tablet and install a different version of Android?

Hi, I switched phone companies, Ive put in a new 'Sim' everything works fine, but im NOT getting a Visual 'Icon' at top of 'Home' screen , to tell me there is a Voicemail waiting for me ..

How can i get this 'Voicemail' Notification (Visual ) Icon back , when someone has left me a 'Voicemail' ? Thanks in Advance !

My father collected antique clocks and coins and my mother antique plates. I grew up collecting. First it was baseball cards and then I helped my father going through coins and started filling penny books. The first home I rented was from the original banker of my town. He had the money and he was a big collector. He loved glass and had an amazing collection of glass paper weights. He had an unusual collection of glass canes. I bet he had over 500 glass and carved elephants. He had huge glass urns full of glass marbles. He also collected money and stamps.
He got me into collecting stamps which he had pages of every US stamp printed from the early nineteen hundreds. I bought from him 1968 back to 1937 a single of every stamp. I still have them and they have gained some value though mostly not a good investment. I spent my spare money on vinyl albums as a young adult and have a sizeable collection of sixties and seventies music... mostly rock. I do have all of the Beatle albums still factory sealed. (I played other copies I had to death) I later collected canes and have a respectable collection. I inherited half of my father's clocks though not really my collection. Collecting is fun even if not profitable.

I was curious if any of you like to collect?
I thought it might be fun to discuss collecting and your collections.

I'll start with one of my collections. As a kid, no matter where we went, my father hit ever thrift or antique store in his quest for an antique clock at a bargain. It seemed like every hole in the wall would have some keys and I started collecting them. A nickel would buy a lot of keys that nobody knew what they unlocked. So.... I have a large box of keys to nothing.

Are you a collector?

My Pixel 7 Pro is rooted, however, it still grabs updates, etc., and I want to stop it from doing that. I did some searching and I found that to do this, I could simply rename a few files.

However, I have been unable to rename the files. This is what I have done:

• Installed ConnectBot
• typed 'su'
• cd'ed to the directory that has a file to rename
• typed 'mv oldFileName newFileName'

This resulted in the error mv: bad 'oldFileName': Read-only file system

Question: can someone point me to instructions that would allow me to make the file system not read-only or some other approach for addressing this issue? Thanks.

I am the owner of a Samsung Galaxy 11 currently running on Android 11. It used to run on Android 10 and I updated it because I was hoping it would be a minor bug fix and make the notification go away. Now it just kinda sucks. I plan on later getting a new Galaxy 11 running A10 out-of-the-box style, and have a plan to prevent myself from making this mistake again.

What I need is uninstallation of the System Update app, or apps, since my current Galaxy 11 has 3 for some reason. I know this requires ADB, but I don't know the package names and I'm scared of doing anything fancy without step-by-step instructions. Smart Switch can take care of data transfer I think.

If anyone could tell me how to remove Android 10's facilities for system updates using ADB, it would be much appreciated.
If a secure download of ADB could also be found, please provide it. I know how to get the dev settings and USB debugging, though.

Best regards, Alex.

Добрий день!

Якщо ваш телефон вимкнувся самостійно і не запускається належним чином, відображаючи повідомлення англійською мовою, це, здається, вказує на проблему з пристроєм. Повідомлення, яке ви бачите англійською мовою:

"Ваш пристрій пошкоджено. Це не можна довіряти і може не працювати належним чином. Натисніть кнопку живлення, щоб продовжити, інакше пристрій вимкнеться за 5 секунд."

Перш ніж виникла ця проблема, телефон попросив дозволу на оновлення, і ви вирішили оновити її на той час. Операційна система, здавалося, працює нормально, але через хвилину телефон вимкнувся, і ви зіткнулися з поточною ситуацією. Ви намагалися перезавантажити режим відновлення, але це не вийшло.

Побачивши текст ще раз, ви натиснули кнопку живлення, і на ній з'явилося "USB" та повідомлення:

"Телефон автоматично перезапуститься через 60 секунд без будь-якої операції або натисне і утримує кнопку живлення протягом 8 секунд, щоб вийти з режиму швидкого завантаження, а потім перезавантажити."

Однак навіть після його перезапуску нічого не змінилося.

Display issue on samsung s9. Screen goes dark on adaptive brightness (often after like 4-5 hrs). If I adjust the brightness to anything below 60%, it goes real dark (with or without adaptive brightness). For now I have kept the brightness to max. Seems to work now. But looks like over all the brightness of phone is bit reduced.

Been using this phone for past 4 yrs tho. No issues till now.

This video explains my issue

I have an LG Velvet 5G and notice that sometimes it takes considerable time for photos to actually appear in both my receieved and sent texts.

Example: My brother sends a picture message and I can see a blank space where a picture should be, but it does not appear. It may never appear or will take many minutes to appear.

It also happens to photos I send. I will see a photo I sent when I am actively sending it, but when I reopen the text message later there is a blank space where my photo was.

What is going on?

I recently purchased a Yumkem T13 tablet, running android 10 go, as a non working unit. I have been able to reset the device in recovery mode and it seems to work until I try to enable wifi or Bluetooth. As soon as I turn these on the device crashes almost instantly and I have to reset it again in recovery or it crashes as soon as it reaches the home screen on startup. I looked around for a custom rom to determine if it is a software issue but I couldn't find a compatible one. Has anyone run into this issue before and know a fix?

I love ST so far but I need a phone that is smaller. The ones I have used, the Moto Stylus and the Samsung are just too big and heavy. Does ST offer a phone with a good amount of memory and 5G that isn't so big and heavy? If not could I use another phone from a different carrier and transfer it to my ST plan? Thanks in advance!

Not bad Rob, thankx, for keeping the place alive !

I want to downgrade my IQOO Z3 5G from Android 13 to Android 12 but I am unable to do so because when I went to the official website to download the zip file, all it does is made me download an HTML file that leads to nowhere, is this only happening to me? The file I wanted to download is PD2159F_EX_A_3.13.3. Someone please help.

Update: Thanks it worked : )

I have a Motorola G play. I have downloaded the Echolink from Google play store, and have used it without problems for 2 years.
Yesterday It will not work, it says that I have an incorrect password. I went to the Echolink page and reset the password.
I then uninstalled the app and reinstalled. however all instructions say tap settings and put in name and password. There is no place for password.
And when I reinstall the app the same info is on the app...help

This is cool and scary at the same time.

Hi. The touch screen on my co-worker's S22 Ultra is very erratic. She has begun having problems with scrolling and touch response. I read somewhere about doing a forced reboot by pressing volume down and power buttons simultaneously. I don't want to recommend that unless I'm confident no harm can come of that. Has anyone ever tried that method?

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

How do I stop yahoo ringtones from showing up permanently on my note 20 ultra?

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..
