On my previous phone, a Samsung S10, after a while of using it remembered my bank sort code when writing a text/email and offered it as a suggested text.

On my current phone, a Google Pixel 8 running the Gboard keyboard it hasn't done this.

Is there any way to customise the list of words used for predictive text as it would be dead handy if I could get this feature back?

When I was downloading back my ASUS motherboard, by accident I deleted the entire thing for my monitor a ge 8400, and it is shrunken down the entire windows to a mear 1500 X 800 window on accident, I accidently download the file, and right click on view underneath notepad, so basically stuck with a bunch of "Y"s inside the notebook instead of having a handy right click underneath my main menu right click, for your basic operation in windows ten..

So what is your rom file (Non gaming) that to correct the problem?

I have a PDF form file that needs to be signed. How can I make the signature be included in the saved file, please?

I've turned on 'personalised notifications' from several channels that were bugging with with too many shorts, hoping it may mean less of those notifications if I don't click on them. Seems that's not the case. What on Earth does 'personalised notifications' mean? There's zero attempt at any explanation when selecting it, and when searching relevant explanatory videos on YT there's nothing relevant or current either. What does it mean?

There are some channels that I'm subscribed to that publish too many shorts, and I get a notification every time. Annoying. Is there a way to opt out of that? I'd still like the full video notifications.

Please be sure to read edit below. Hello. My password manager will occasionally copy passwords to the clipboard, and then it is supposed to automatically delete it after a specified amount of time. But the password doesn't actually get deleted. The password manager simply creates a new clipboard "entry" that is blank. My guess is it is because older versions of the clipboard only stored one entry at a time, but now the clipboard can store multiple entries (?)

This ends up bothering me, and the only way I have ever figured out to clear the clipboard of all entries is to use the "Keep Notes" app, and go through the motions as if I was composing a note in order to activate Gboard and gain access to the clipboard to delete any entries stored.

Is there an easier way to do this?

Thank you for your assistance.

EDIT: I don't know how to delete this post. I consider it very bad form to "abandon" a post asking for help, so I will edit this one. I found the information I was looking for from Chat-GPT. I am unwatching this thread, and will not see any replies.

Believe it or not, it is now 6 months since Android 15 was launched officially on the vivo X Fold3 Pro global model worldwide on the 27th September 2024. During this time the Android 15 firmware has performed well and is very battery friendly and apart for some minor bugfixes and optimizations, has caused no major issues. I only hope that Android 16, due in June, is as good.

Just trying to backup my contacts from my Galaxy A50 onto my laptop - when I look at them on the phone, there's over 4,000, but can't find them on the laptop? I see two folders, one for the card and one for phone. Any ideas how I can find them please?

vivo have begun rolling out the March 2025 security patch to their global, (FunTouch), models of the X Fold3 Pro. This update also has a number of bug fixes and optimizations as detailed in the screenshot...

Honor X6b, Android 14. Somehow I have deleted the home screen text-based clock and date. There are no widgets in this phone. The home screen doesn't respond to double-taps, just squeezing two fingers which bring up the screen as shown here. I was able to add that little clock, but it's not the same. The main Clock app has no Settings; the phone's main Settings>Display has no Clock to set up. How might I restore that nice big text clock and date?

It seems it's the ONLY Samsung A?? model that DOESN'T support the Libre 3. It didn't support the Libre 2. What's the problem?

Anyone have the latest UI 7 update yet?
If so can you share how it works on your device and what's the improvements were implemented?

How do I delete this account because I'm screwing everything up and putting posts in the wrong place and I like to start over new.

Galaxy A13. Using the clock's timer function seems so unintuitive, it's clunky to say the least. I've managed to add preset timers in the past, but I cannot for the life of me remember how! It can't be this complicated.

I press the + button, and it opens a screen called 'Add Timer' which features my current preset timers. Ok, what do I do now!? There are no options to add a timer.

Edit: Problem solved. I've been trying to add a new preset when I have a timer running for something else. Even though you can have as many timers running as you want, apparently you can't make new presets while any are running. Annoying.

I've installed platform tools, and when I cd into the directory and try to run adb devices, I get a message 'Bash command not found.' I've not had this problem previously (always on Linux PCs). I've not wanted to use adb/fastboot for a few years, am I missing something obvious/not obvious?

Greetings, after "adb sideload oriole-ota-bp1a.250305.019-34e04bed.zip" on a Google Pixel 6, followed by a successful reboot, then rooting with Magisk which has been successful every month for a few years, the phone now only bootloops to the colored Google logo,

With the phone powered down, I long-press volume down and power simultaneously, which presents a screen with choices Start, Restart Bootloader, Recovery Mode, Rescue Mode, Bar Code and Power Off. I choose "Recovery Mode" with the intention of wiping and rebuilding the device, but unfortunately it just enters a boot loop again instead of the recovery menu.

Will someone help me, please?

This GE oven actually has one of those nasty yhings. It's been mercurial at best, and now bake, broil, and start don't work. I wish I could replace the crappy thing but of course that would be impossible.

Happy St Pat's day everyone! Though I no longer party hard on the 17th, I never fail to enjoy my family's traditional meal of corned beef and cabbage. I'm not nearly as Irish as I was told but that hasn't changed my traditions. Being Irish has little to do with the USA holiday. I hope that you enjoy the day and share a smile.

I thought we needed a thread for interesting, fascinating, or simply thought provoking pictures.
I found these pictures of the moon beautiful. They are supposed to be the clearest pictures ever taken of the moon.

Android 13.

Have this "force stop app when screen is locked" activated. Works fine.

But I don't want to be notified about stopped apps each time I unlock screen. Can't find anywhere to turn the notification off.

Anyone can help?

There will be a total lunar eclipse early AM Friday 3-14-25. A total lunar eclipse is called a blood moon because the moon takes on a rich red color while in the Earth's umbra.
Here is link to a decent article and a time schedule.
