Has anyone else noticed that the number of ads in non-paid apps seems to have increased by an order of magnitude??

For me the Play store has become almost useless.

I have a Samsung A8 tablet. My cable box uses Tivo to record shows. Through the Tivo app on my tablet, I can download shows that I've recorded on my Tivo. My question is, can I move those downloaded Tivo recordings from my tablet to another device (external HD, PC, etc) for viewing elsewhere? When I download the Tivo recordings using the app on my tablet, I can't find a copy of them anywhere on my tablet. Does anybody know where those files are stored? Thanks

For a long while I have been using GoldenDict on different devices to utilize ".dz" and ".index" files. Now with the upgrade to Android 13, GoldenDict keeps crashing on my devices. Could you introduce a solution to the crash or an alternative app which opens the forementioned files on Android 13?

HI
I just got a brand new Samsung S20+ yesterday and when I try to switch on WI-FI Calling I cannot even see that feature on the phone.

Have done...
Settings
Connections
...cannot even see WI-FI Calling option....

Also tried...

Green phone icon
three dots setting icon
...cannot even see WI-FI Calling option....

Call my provider and they confirmed that WI-FI Calling is enabled for my account.
They even switched it off then back on....still can't see it.

Any ideas ?
Thanks

Google Pixel 6. The latest Android 13 update . While traveling this past weekend I know it's going down the interstate that my ETA at the bottom of the navigation was either black or white depending on the color mode. I really like the green, Amber, red that it displays when there are traffic issues on the route. But currently my Google maps is not displaying any of that. It's just black or white. I'm using the traffic layer. The speed also stays white, meaning it would turn red if over the speed limit, etc. It stays the same color as well. The navigation and locations are working great. Everything else navigation wise seems pretty spot on. Does anyone know what else I'm missing or overlooking to get those colors back working again? I appreciate any help and feedback. Thank you all.

It's there an app that can identify tunes playing on your phone?
Ok so Android has been able to identify tune for 10 years and give you links to the tune on yt. Shazzam came later doing the same job. Trouble is they can only listen via the mic and can't even identify tunes that are actually playing on your phone. Bizarre .

Hi,

I'm in need for some help. For a while I've been thinking about this game I was playing back in the day (cca. 2013-2014) and it really bothers me that i can't seem to remember its name. All I remember is that its icon was a little soldier with an iron helmet and a spear in his hands, I think. The game consisted of two armies fighting each other and you could upgrade your troops to have better equipment and more soldiers in it. It had some sort of medieval theme.

I have tried to look for it in the older apps in my google play account but I didn't have any luck and Im pretty positive I don't have the account I've used back in the day anymore.

Any kind of help would mean alot to me, thank you!

Today while installing a new head unit - Android 12 - whilst trying to get the CAN bus to work the radio app disappeared. The button is still there on the home screen but nothing happens when pressed.Is there anyway to reinstall the radio?
PS CAN bus is now working.

When I wipe my one plus 9 it comes up with a message saying "your device is enrolled in the android 12 developer preview program" which causes a red tint to appear on the screen with white text displaying various it's of information such as what process is running (e.g: com.android)

The phone also can't get past the copy apps and data screen, it just get stuck in a loop after starting to process! I have tried connecting it to a pc but it doesn't detect the phone and I have factory reset it in every way I can!

Any help on this is greatly appreciated, I think I need to flash wipe it but don't know how to

Something strange happened on my new, rooted Pixel 7 Pro today and I cannot explain the behavior at all. Maybe one of you can.

I have ‘Flip to Shhh’ enabled and I have stay awake disabled. I plugged the phone in and flipped it over before I went to bed last night. This morning, the battery was at 88% (and I have since read a number of posts explaining this and possible ways to address this behavior). However, when I saw this, I assumed the cable had slipped out, so I plugged it in, put it down (face up), and hit the power button to turn off the screen.

Here’s the behavior I don’t understand: About 15 seconds later, the screen turned on! I again hit the power button to turn the screen off and after about 15 seconds it turned on again. This time, I watched it to see if it would turn off after 30 seconds. It didn’t, but after about 15 seconds, there was ‘wave’ that moved across the screen (and this repeated like every 15 seconds).

What the heck is going on?

On my Pixel Pro 7 purchased from Google with Verizon as my service provider. Running Android 13 Build TQ2A.230305.008.C1, I have the Bling app version 6.23.0 Build 27931374. Whenever I attempt to modify a camera's motion settings, I'm getting 'java.lang.NumberFormatException: Expected an in but was 4294967295 at line 1 column 110 path $.advanced_motion_regions[9].' It doesn't matter which camera I attempt to modify. I've stopped/started the app, uninstall/reinstall the app, rebooted as well as powered off the phone. All to no avail. I've contacted Bling support and they are not able to identify an issue. The issue does NOT occur on an iPhone either.

Has anyone else seen this issue? Is there a fix?

Hello all, I recently got a new phone a BLU B131DL Android 11 and everything was fine until this week, but since I have bad hearing I generally use Speakerphone when I get a call, but it seems to be somehow muting the calls now, which I cannot figure out....
Every time I get a call, I answer it, then turn on Speakerphone, but nobody speaks, I think because they cannot hear me as a result of the Speakerphone muting the call. Is there a setting that I could change to stop this??
Thanks in advance!!

Is this a bug that device says "storage space running out" and stuff like downloads, screenshots, etc don't work, even though there is still 20+ GB free in "internal shared storage" ?
Only the SD card is full and is formatted as internal storage

So how can I use the "internal shared storage" space if there is still 20+ GB free?

Thanks

Does anyone have both the DuraForce Ultra 5W and the DuraSport 5W? Specifically I'm wondering what the differences in the primary camera are. The DuraForce Ultra has a 24MP main camera and the DuraSport has a 48MP main camera. Does the DuraSport have better image quality as the higher MP count suggests? I already have the DuraForce Ultra 5W and since it's almost paid off I'm wondering if I should move to the DuraSport for the better camera.

This shows up in the top status bar on a phone and I just cannot find anything, whatsoever, about this icon.

When I pull down it doesn't show up.

Anyone? Thanks!

Hello everyone,
I am using malwarefox anti but still facing some issues. Malware related like system slowdown and compatibility issue etc. If any one have any idea then share with me to solve this issue.

Hi, i was wondering why apps like mobisaver and digdeep can only recover files from 2019 for the most part. Did an android update make deleted files encrypted? How can i recover deleted photos from 2022 and 2023?

Hello, I'm wondering if it's possible to copy app data (save game etc.) from Google One backup of my previous phone to the new one. Both devices are running on Android 13 and I'm talking about copying one application data only, not the whole backup. Specifically I would like to copy all old data from Pocket Rouge game.

Andr 12, Galaxy A12/2yrs old, GSM/LTE

Actions: safe mode, other phone apps (eg virus/malware scans, installed google phone, whatsapp, talkatone, etc), swapped-out sim, google play protect, factory reset)

First time posting-I have an issue with voice calls in that my mic will not unmute (I can hear person called fine but they can't hear me). Hitting mute button only alternates green/white. Only apps tried so far with no issue are skype & voice recorder. Sim tested good in another sam phone (no mic issues).

Any untried possible fix ideas would be greatly appreciated!

My problem is weird. I've had my ASUS tablet for many months. Never had any issue with using the Play Store app. All of sudden, it wouldn't let me load an update on a game I've been playing for years. Turns out, I can't download ANYTHING. App opens just fine but anything I pick goes into "pending" mode and stays there.
I've disabled it and enabled. Makes no difference. I'm out of ideas.

Linux Mint vs. Ubuntu: A Comprehensive Comparison

app removered.

I only need a few basic apps
7 year old Chromebooks are pretty cheap
Someone told me Google Play will stop working??
That would stop be from buying
Is this really the case? Surely Google Play will go on working - maybe the latest apps requiring latest OS wouldn't work... but surely everything else would be OK

That all makes no sense to me. I've got Android phones that haven't had updates in years - they still work with Google Play
Yes, I can't download all apps - but there's a massive choice regardless

I've got an iPhone 4 - that is completely useless. I think it's criminal of Apple to shut off Apple Store

Any thoughts?
