Restrictions

I am 64yrs old, I would like to browse any site I like. I recently changed my phone and renewed my contract. I no find my access is restricted. I have tried for a week to have this matter resolved. Each time its ....will be clear in 24hrs, promise it will take 20minutes and so on. I am now being asked which websites I am wanting to browse and it's the web sites fault! I need to change my browser. I tried through the my 3 app to do it that way but told me my bank card is not registered at my address the same one I used to set up my accounts(of which I have 5) and to prove my age! I should not have to say what sites I want to browse it my choice. I now have no restrictions but still get blocked. I have been with 3 a very long time and not happy with them.

IAndroid

Seeing as people are having issue's with Google, why not join in with Microsoft and make an Android Version of the IPhone.

Hear me out. Android with IPhone security can still be used.
It offers the security of the Iphone while still offering a less expensive phone.

It would have to be a completely different Department and of course we would all feel.more comfortable with the security under their control.

It would boost sales all around while giving us better search engine's like Bing.

There is more thought that can be put in to this. Just figured I'd spark life to it.

Help Screen Rotation Button on Navigation Bar gone?

Hello, I am a big fan of the Screen Rotation Button that was introduced in the Android Pie update, which allows for quick and convenient screen orientation toggle on the nav bar. Now it has disappeared, and I couldn't find a way to turn it on again in the settings. While the input type toggle is still present, the screen rotation toggle magically disappeared.

Can someone point me to the right directions? Thanks.

Gboard layout qwertz for HW keyboard

Dear all,

I have Gboard keyboard app installed on my Android 5.1.1 (Sony Xperia Compact Z1). In my country (Czech republic) we are using qwertz keyboard layout. Gborad works fine with this layout on mobile screen, but the problem is that when I connect HW keyboard (bluetooth or usb), it is switched to qwerty and I can't change it.

How can I solve this problem?

Best regards

Data saving--what to check?

After having 'unlimited everything' plans through AT&T since the last millennium, I switched to Consumer Cellular early this year. At first I had a 'phone call only, pay per call' plan. I just added a '250MB/unlimited text' package.

I've gone through obvious settings to make sure they're 'Wi-Fi only' (like auto-uploading photos). But I could use some guidance on what/where else to check.

My objective is to disallow any background/hidden data usage, only allowing actions (like web browsing) that I initiate myself.

I've stepped through system settings and some Google settings. What other things should I check? What might sneak up on me and use data silently?

PS for those who don't know: I'm in my house 99% of the time (no, not on house arrest!), and don't get useable signals indoors. Therefore, I have a landline that I use for calls, and keep my Android devices in airplane mode, using my Wi-Fi network for online stuff. So the only time I use my smartphone as a phone is when I go somewhere.

ETA: It's a Moto Z² Force Edition running Oreo 8.0.0.

Absolute Blasphemy (email)

I haven't stumbled upon an email app that I enjoy. Frankly, the iOS email app is perfect for me in its notifications, cleanliness, and efficiency. I've searched around for apps that are similar on Android, but I'm not finding anything.

Does anyone have any suggestions for Android email apps that are incredibly similar to the iOS email app? Thanks in advance!

Any where fahrenheit is the norm show celsius in stock weather samsung weather site?

MEANING, After seeing weather it takes you to the samsung.weather site in chrome.
For a second shows F and like a troll in it changes to C in 2 seconds. Its just a PITA and wont waste energy seeing samsung chat.
Yes, location for ALL else or other weather apps are ok. I even reset device.
It primarily does its stupid F to C looking at hourly or so when on the samsung weather site via the stock weather installed.

Do you also see samsung.weather on the address line ?
samsung solution. they said since nothing wrong with device or app and its samsungs servers, they said cant fix that.
UK went through the same last month showing F and not C.
I will say the hell with it and disable stock weather using adb
