The only rule is it has to be funny or relate to the previous post.

Starting:

I'm so old I remember going a whole day without taking a picture.

HAVE JUST SPENT A WHOLE DAY, TRYING TO FIND OUT WHY MY S9 KEY PAD IS NOT RESPONDING WHEN I PRESS A NUMBER ON THE KEY PAD IN A CALL. 2 CALLS TO SAMSUNG CHAT LINE, 2 HOURS GONE. DROVE TO NEAREST SAMSUNG CENTRE IN MILTON KEYNES LIKE THE CHAT LINE, THEY EITHER DID NOT KNOW WHY OR DID NOT WANT TO TELL ME WHY.
IT APPEARS THAT THIS FACILITY HAS BEEN REMOVED, SO WHEN I NEED TO ACKNOWLEDGE A CALL FROM MY SPEECH DIALER ON MY ALARM SYSTEM BY SENDING A TONE FROM THE KEY PAD DOES NOT WORK. I AM UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING.
HAVING HAD EVERY UPDATE UP TO THE S9, & PAYING HEFTY INCREASES, FOR WHAT APPEARS TO BE WHAT SAMSUNG ARE DICTATING WHAT FACILITIES I SHOULD HAVE, RATHER THAN WHAT I WANT, I FEAR THE END OF THE ROAD IS HERE FOR SAMSUNG. TIME FOR A CHANGE.
I DO NOT EXPECT TO PAY MORE FOR LESS.
VERY ANNOYED

I am aware the Apple volume buttons don't work with Android, but has anyone tried using the mic with the wired earpods on the S9? If it doesn't work, is there any sort of adapter available for purchase to make it work?

Don't know if "Apps" is the p[lace for this, but . . .

I want a location reminder app. I can find too many. My problem is there is one feature I want, but none seem to have it. Actually, not true. I found one, but it changes $2-3 month to get the one feature I want.

The feature? I want a delay in the notification. For example, I want a reminder when I walk into an office. Location reminders notify me when I get within range of the office building. The problem is I get in range, get the notification, drive to the building parking garage, find a spot, walk a block to the building entrance, take an elevator up 6 floors, and, by the time I get to the office, I've forgotten the reminder. Thus, I want an app I can set to notify me, say, 15 minutes after I get to the location. A delayed reminder. Is there such an app?

I have delete my GBWhatsApp account. Before deletion I have done a backup in my sd card.
Now when i m reinstalling my GBWhatsApp and trying to restore it its saying "can't find any backup in '/sdcard/GBWhatsApp"!
Please help me to restore my data in GBWhatsApp

I've read here and Google, but can't find (understand?) the answer. I have a W8 PC and a Samsung S8. I want to access my network Drive (Netgear router) on my phone. I've found a fwe articles saying I must DL a file app to access my Network Drive. The ones recommended require I buy the app. If this is true for every case, I'll drop this request.
If not, is there an easy to understand way to access a Network Drive. FWIW, I think I have Sharing set up on my PC

i have a new pixel 3a. love it. one problem: i have my display set to go dark after 2 minutes to conserve the battery. when i am on a call, the screen will go dark after two minutes. i don't want it to. i may want to go on/off speakerphone, use the keypad, etc. also, i use the speakerphone most of the time, so forget about the proximity sensor. also, many times i will be in front of my pc, and during a call put the speaker on, and lay the phone down so i have hands free. lastly, under phone/settings/calls there is no option to toggle the display to stay on. any suggestions?

So I went to see the first showing in IMAX of Godzilla King of the Monsters at the Boston Common 19 this morning and a guy 4 rows down from me is whipping out his cellphone like every 5 to 10 minutes. I got so pissed off I left and demanded a refund 45 minutes in. The movie was going really good but this a-hole completly ruined the mood for me.

Has any theater found a solution to this problem?

My Grand 2 phone isnt recognized by Kies when I connect to the Windos 10 host. I am not able to get the MTP option in storage or by pulling down the status bar,
When connected by the Micro USB cable to the laptop, the phone shows as charging.

Im thinking of buying redmi k20 with 730 soc, i have a pocophone and i wonder what are things the 730 better than 845?

Hi guys, just wanted to say hello to everyone.

I am a newbie and will try to contribute towards community here.

Thanks.

I am using sketchware, as a novice and also searching for help on some issues

As far as I know, in source code directory of an Android Studio project, the sub-folder 'armeabi-v7a' of jniLibs is for 32-bit .so library files while 'armeabi-v8a' is for 64-bit ones.

But sometimes we will find the sub-folder named with 'armeabi' other than 'armeabi-v7a'. Is armeabi the same as armeabi-v7a?

Thank you all in advance.

I have a Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) and it's worked very well for the year and a half that I've had it. This evening, it won't access the internet any more. I'm baffled.

I've probably messed it up myself. I was fiddling with various settings to try to troubleshoot a problem earlier today and may have turned something off that needs to be on or vice versa but I'm at a loss to figure out what.

When I try to reach websites I've never visited with my browsers, I get told I'm "not online" or "this site cannot be reached". I get advice like "turn off flight mode" and "turn on WiFi". (I can see a few pages in the browser that I have visited recently but I believe those are all cached pages.)

When I check my settings, my WiFi is turned on and it has my network name. (The laptop I'm using to send this is on the same network, which is my home, and the laptop works completely normally.) Bluetooth is on. Flight Mode is Off. Do Not Disturb is Off.

What have I done to mess up my internet on my phone and what do I need to do to fix it?

I bought a new tablet from a Chinese site and it won't connect to the app store. Can I format the drive empty and load a fresh version of Android?

In the screenshots, please note the appearance of the area under the dock, and the status bar, too.

New phone:


Old phone:


I like the old one better.

These are identical phones, Moto Z² Force Edition running 8.0.0.

Both are using ADW Launcher 1 EX--and their settings are identical.

I've looked through System Settings for anything even remotely related to display; everything's identical on both phones.

Any ideas on what else to check/adjust to get the look I want?

My new phone arrived yesterday. I spent all day setting it up. Now I need to factory reset the old one before sending it back to Motorola. (They're identical: Moto Z² Force Edition, Oreo 8.0.0)

For the first time EVER, I used a setup/transfer utility to copy things over; I figured I'd just reset it and start fresh if I didn't like the results. But it was good! Almost all of my apps got transferred. One that didn't--and is currently missing from Play--I installed via an APK I'd created by backing it up.

My DCIM directory did not get transferred, so I did that manually; I'm sure I have all my photos and videos.

Please give me any last minute advice on things to check before wiping the old phone. I *think* I've gotten everything off of it that I wanted to keep, and I used backups to restore various apps' contents (e.g., WhatsApp, ColorNotes).

I went through its directories, looking for anything else...but just have a nagging feeling I'm overlooking something.

I love Handcent, been using it for years. However, I'm sick of losing my messages whenever I get a new phone. Is there a good app that allows you to save messenges without paying for the feature?

Here's another awesome product from Aukey. Once again, I'm not being paid for any reviews. I'm given a product and asked to give my honest review.

This touch lamp is GREAT for finding your Samsung Galaxy Note 8 at night, or for lighting up the room so that you can find your Note 8 charger (Now it's officially SGN8 related)

The light is very light (19.8 Oz), but sturdy. It's netural decor will make it an enhancement to any room. The touch activator is located on top (reflective silver) so there is not small spot to locate for activation. It is powered by AC 100-240V 50/60 Hz. It consumes 6w and has 20 LED's. You can control the brightness by turning on the lamp by touch, then touching and holding it as the light decreases and increases once at the lowest setting. Once you find the desired setting, the touch activation remembers that setting until you change it again or unpluge it from its power souce.

The sensor is reflective, and that tends to gather fingerprints. A soft cloth and a few swipes later will take care of that. The cable is about 6' long and it is sturdy.

Overall, this will make a nice addition to the bedside or where ever else you put it when you need to locate your SGN8 with minimum lighting. I would definitely recommend this to all of my friends!

Anybody here upgraded from a Note 8 to Note 9 and can comment on how much better the battery life is?

The note 8 battery life for me has been dissappointing. I just sent mine in for repair and it is coming back tomorrow looking prestine. I started thinking of selling it in its refurb condition on ebay for around maybe 350 and take a hit and get a Note 9 with the hopes of getting a better battery as a result.

Is this worth it? The improved camera and speakers is also a plus.
But my main concern is battery life. The Note 9s are going on Swappa for 500 bucks on average

My device is slow to load and change websites, even though a speed check shows it should be almost as fast as my PC. Checking online, It was suggested that I look at something like the Google launcher instead of the standard Samsung one.

I downloaded it and clicked on the icon. A message came up indicating that the default launcher is Touchwhiz Home and that I should go to settings, tap clear defaults, then hit Home.

The problem with that is that the app page for the Touchwhiz has the clear defaults tab greyed out and there's a note saying no defaults selected. If I go back to the Google app, I get into the same routine. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Ian

Hey!

So I need some opinions lol I currently use the Note 8 as my daily driver and I'm starting to have some issues with it (screen burn in, battery life etc.) so I'm thinking about upgrading. Being a tech guy is great because you know so much about phones, but, being a tech guy is bad because you know so much about phones lol So this leads me to my issues: I don't know what to get.

I love the S10e, it's small, blue, and reminds me of my old Lumia 635. Plus my Note has been an outstanding phone and I think since Samsung abandoned TouchWiz they are really fast and reliable phones. So I like Samsung products, and this makes me feel getting the S10e is a safe choice.

But I also like the Pixel 3 XL. I had the original Pixel XL, and while I didn't care for that phone too much (battery was atrocious, extremely buggy, and my screen stopped working one day while in my pocket) something about Google phones just attract me. I like their designs, the stock android, and the camera's. Plus I for one actually like the notch on the Pixel 3 XL, I think it makes the phone stand out.

Finally, there is the OnePlus 7 Pro and wow it's nice. The design, the colors, the pop-up camera, warp charge, it's all so nice. Plus I've wanted a One Plus phone since the 3T (I was still on Windows then hahaha)

My biggest concerns are these:
S10e: As much as I like the size, I'm concerned it would be too small. And I already have the Note 8 so I feel like I would be a getting the same experience, just on a smaller phone.
Pixel 3 XL: Google so far has not be known for making...shall I say... trustworthy phones. I'm worried about the display getting burn in, bugs, and some of those other weird issues it's had.
One Plus 7 Pro: The battery life seems to be lacking, the price really isn't as "budget" as it once was, and it's MASSIVE.

Let me know your guys opinions, thanks!
