Frustration after system update

Can anyone comment usefully on something that I discovered yesterday (26 Feb 2023). My phone is an Android — a Motorola moto g22. On 25/2/2023, I allowed a system update (update number: STAS32.79-77-28-18-2) and everything seemed fine. However, the day after the update, I clicked on DuckDuck Go, which I had downloaded and installed myself, months ago, and had trouble-free use of.

Since the update, when I click on the icon for DuckDuck Go (a search engine), instead of it opening, what opens is something called OneDrive (I believe this is a Google storage site). Oddly, when, months ago, I had dragged an icon for "Drive" (that name exactly) on my desktop, it showed as an an icon that was different from the triangular icon for Drive that shows in my Apps folder. It had its own icon (different, as stated), plus a small inset of the icon for DuckDuck Go, attached to it and seemingly a part of the OneDrive icon! Furthermore, its name was not "Drive" any more, but "OneDrive". (The original app, in my Apps folder, still shows as a triangle, with the name Drive (only).

I am sure that Google/Android does not take kindly to users having DuckDuck Go installed, because they want to track what you do on-line, whereas DuckDuck does not allow tracking. Previous system updates have not prevented DuckDuck Go from opening.

Can anyone tell me how to get DuckDuck Go to open as it used to do before this update?
With thanks in advance,
S.

How important are Android and App Security Updates?

I'd be very warry of a computer (including tablets/smartphones) that's connected to the Internet, yet no longer receiving security updates! Yet multiple people on forums have told me that Android systems without OS security updates can be used safely, so long as you otherwise have good security practices. So I'm starting this thread, a thread where we can discuss the question: How important are security updates for Android OS, and the apps that run on it?

Show me what I listen

Hi all,
I am using the wiim android app that connects to my wiim streamer. The streamer connects to amazon music and feeds my integrated amp.
So far all good.
What is also nice with my wiim app is that the currently playing song is synchronized with all android apps that run the application. This is a feature that I can use to some extent to display in a dedicated tablet what I am playing

These are the features that I am lacking though
1. Turn on the display on when I start streaming music
2. Keep display always on and turn it off when I stop streaming.

I am willing to use a different android app and or buy a different streamer that uses a different app.
I am open to suggestions and alternatives.
Regards,
Alex

Phone Snobbery?

This thread was inspired by the following comment:

mainly its because of the people who have apple products are so much more snooty. take my friends who have apple products. they always made fun of my android devices in the past. but now that Samsung has caught up to the innovations apple was making, i can now brag to them saying can your phone do this? can your phone fold and unfold like mine?
Just how common is that kind of phone snobbery? Do you run into people who think less of you, make fun of you, or something, over your phone?

Remote work or on-site?

I just read this article and thought I'd share it.
I'm hearing there's alot of remote workers complaining about returning to the office.
Since Covid-19 hit, employees still think they have the upper hand with the employer as to where they are working.
Newsflash! Your employer can dictate to you where you are going to be working from! If you're not happy with that, find a different job!
Lol! Wake up and drive to your job and be thankful you still have one!
Sorry but that's my rant....

Free Old School Game on Android!

Call it an Easter egg or whatever, but there's a cute little game called Chrome Dino and you can play it right from your home screen!

Find an empty 2x2 space on your home screen and long press. Select "Widgets" from the menu. In the Chrome options, select "Chrome Dino". The widget will load. The game is a huge retro throwback to the stuff I played growing up. Have fun!

Has Verizon's service suddenly degraded for you?

We live in the Middle Tennessee area, in a largely rural region between Nashville and Chattanooga. GSM service has historically been spotty and marginal at best; but Verizon always had commanding coverage with full bars and solid data everywhere.

In the last few months I've noticed a severe degradation in coverage: there are places in downtown Manchester (right along I-24) and on the highway between Manchester and Tullahoma (whiskey trail on the way to Lynchburg) that are now complete dead zones with zero bars and no data.

Thinking the SIM in my Z Fold 4 was worn (wouldn't be my first experience with that problem), I went to the Verizon corporate store in Tullahoma and told them about the problem. My SIM was dutifully replaced, but no one said anything about a change in coverage. The problem wasn't resolved, however - in fact, on the way home I got to a no-signal spot and looked at the Darling Bride's new S23 Ultra... no signal! This is not a device-specific issue.

When we arrived home, I got onto a chat at Verizon and went through three reps. While Agent 2 was a total loser who suggested that our lines may be in a low priority queue with the towers because of our older XL Plan and tried to upsell us a new 5G plan (in an area with virtually no 5G service), Agent 3 assured me that we're either connected or we aren't; and there are no turbo queues for customers with the latest & greatest plans. Agent 3 did, however, note that our devices showed "Fair" coverage outdoors and "Poor" coverage indoors. Agent 3 said that Verizon does move resources around based on demand... but our area can't build homes fast enough for the number of people trying to move here. If anything, Verizon should be moving more resources in here, not moving anything out!

What's your recent experience with Verizon coverage in your area? Have you noticed an increase in poor coverage spots and dead zones? Our coverage with Verizon has always been our only reason for paying their exorbitant rates. If they're no longer king of the airwaves, perhaps we need to try a MVNO and see if GSM coverage is improved.

Email Client for Android TV?

I can not find one single email clent for my standard Android TV (Philips 65OLED706/12).
I search using Google Play Store.

What I want to do do, is email attachments and links to an email address dedicated to my TV.
I don't care if the account is a Microsoft 365, GMail, Hotmail or whatever type of account.

Is there really no existing email client for Android TVs?

Steam Deck anybody?

So i finally bit the bullet and bought the 512gb version Steam Deck. i love my ps5, but i wanted to game pretty much where ever i want. would be cool to just to chill on my back porch and play some games. it is something i really do not need. but my b-day is coming up, so i decided to splurge. now not all steam games will play on it, i know. but most of the top games that are available on steam can be played on the steam deck. plus what is cool is that it is a linux based os. and with a little programing skills, you can do pretty cool things like emulations. now i have not researched what you can fully do with the machine other than play steam games.......yet.

it should take 1-2 weeks for it to arrive. this gives me time to look for accessories. the cool thing is that the deck already comes with a carrying case.

anybody have one?

Anything useful in Android 13? (short rant)

My Samsung A53 5G just updated to Android 13. So thanks to Samsung for keeping the phone current.

However, I can't find any useful changes in A13. Mainly, it's made all the icons the same color, so apps are harder to tell apart.

Apparently, it also offers more options for getting things the exact color you want. THIS is what people care about?

Has anything found something useful in this revision? Does anyone else wish Google would stop fussing with cosmetics and do something useful? Like, maybe, a way to get newer Android versions onto older phones without rooting them?

Anybody get their Galaxy S23 Ultra yet?

Anybody get their Galaxy S23 Ultra yet?
Reason I'm asking is I pre-ordered mine on Feb 16th for the special deals they had, ($1000 off the $1,400 price) and the sales person said I'd get it in 2-5 business days.
Well he lied... 5 business days later and it hasn't even been shipped yet. This is what I get when I checked tracking a few minutes ago.

Pre-Shipment
Pre-Shipment Info Sent to USPS, USPS Awaiting Item

I went online to T-Mobile and got the runaround. I'm going on vacation on March 6th and sure hope it gets here by then.
I'm wondering if the local stores have them in yet or if they have shipping problems too.
