Mods: Feel free to move this thread if I've put it in the wrong place (I'm new here).

Android and Chrome OS were originally separate projects, but the lines between the two have become very blurred. Here's my personal experience:

I tried out a Surface Go 3, to replace my ageing 7th Gen. Kindle Fire. My Surface Go 3 came with Windows. The Surface Go under Windows made an excellent ultra-portable laptop (with the keyboard attachment), but a poor tablet. There was an obvious solution: Install Android. I had Android on my Kindle Fire, so I knew Android worked well enough as a tablet system. Get Android onto my Surface, and I could have both Windows laptop and Android table, all in one unit!

The question became: Which Android distribution to use? I tried a few, but the only one I could get to work properly was "FydeOS for You". FydeOS is a Chromium OS distribution, meaning it's meant more to turn computers into makeshift Chrombooks than Android tablets. But that was okay. On an Intel-based Surface Go 3, "FydeOS for You" comes with the Android subsystem. That subsystem allows compatible Chromebooks to run Android apps. After changing a few settings (such as enabling the standard Android navigation buttons at the bottom of the screen), my makeshift Chromebook worked well as an Android tablet!

As I said: The line between Android and Chrome OS has become very blurred.

I signed up for this deal: attached:
Galaxy S23 Ultra | T-Mobile | 512GB | Lavender | Learn more SM-S918ULIFXAU

Pricing with your T-Mobile offer after one time and recurring trade-in bill credits for
Total:
$1379.99/mo) with T-Mobile Financing.
Also brought the price down with free storage upgrade from 256 to 512 for $1180
Get $1000 trade-in credit on a Magenta MAX rate plan.

The trade in was for my mint, no scratches or blemishes on my Galaxy S21+ 5G
with the Magenta Max plan $10 per line (3)

Also big question? Why did I have to sign up Magenta May for all three lines when I'm the one
buying the phone.

Anyway I signed up and the salesman said there would be four PDF about the deal and everything.

So I get home and look at the four PDF and nowhere it says anything about the deal pricing that
I signed up for. So I go online and back down to T-Mobild stored and they STILL won't give me
the deal price I signed up for. They both said they will honor the deal and it will show up
in my billing in 1-2 months. All I got was they told me they sent more info to my email:

Apple iPhone: 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max, 12 Pro, 12 Pro Max, 13 Pro, 13 Pro Max, 14 Plus, 14 Pro, 14 Pro Max
Samsung Galaxy: S22+, S22 Ultra, S21+, S21 Ultra, S20+, S20 Ultra, Note20, Note20 Ultra, Note10, Note10 5G, Note10+, Note10 lite, Z Fold4, Z Flip4, Z Flip3, Z Fold3, Z Fold 2, Z Flip, Z Fold

These are the list of the device which qualify for $1000 off credit. Your device is present in this list
I do apologize for the confusion. I wanted to convey that it will not specifically show on your account online.
It will show up in your next billing March 17th.

I think that is strange!!! You don't get something like a TV without proof you you paid for
AND what kind of pricing deal you got. They sure made it clear I signed the two year contract.
Just said trust us, it will show up in your billing, quote the chat:
Get up to $1,000 off an eligible Samsung Galaxy device when you purchase it on EIP, trade-in an eligible device and have or switch to Magenta MAX

I think I'm getting the run around? Thoughts I don't want to get screwed but it might be too late.
I haven't gotten the phone yet, they say in 2-5 days. I won't open the box until this is straighten out.
nor will they get my Galaxy S21+ 5G either. I will sit down with the manager and get this cleared up.

it comes on usually when i watch whatsApp videos, but not always. it stays on for a few seconds, sometimes less than a second. it goes away if i take a screenshot, or turn wifi off, or exit whatsapp. i'm running os10 on my unrooted samsung galaxy s9 plus.

I'm new here. I don't have an Android cell phone, per sy. However, I have two Android tablets: A Surface Go 3 (with two OS's, Android and Windows) and a 7th Gen. Kindle Fire.

‘A few years ago’, I worked in the robotics lab at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. I remember the huge excitement in the lab the day that our shared computer’s memory was upgraded from 4MB to 8MB. Yet, despite these very limited resources, we successfully placed an autonomous rover on Mars.

This makes me wonder: What the heck are the DropBox folks (and others) doing because there recent updates are 120MB in size? Seriously. We are talking about something as simple as file sharing! What else are they doing??

I am thinking about getting a new Android phone and have a concern. Let me explain my current phone setup, then ask the question.

My current phone is a rooted Google Pixel 3XL running Android version 9. I have turned off automatic updates, in part, because if Phone by Google updates to a version newer than 65.0.370544174, the newer version insists on being made the default phone app. I use True Phone as my phone app, but need Phone by Google to a) easily listen to voice mail and b) marks callers as spam.

My concern is that I may not be able to run the older version of Phone by Google on a new phone and would lose the ability to use True Phone. Is my concern valid? If it is, what set of apps would you recommend I use?

F-Droid has stopped downloading updates to my main cellphone. It repeatedly says (when I check) everything is up-to-date. But it does download updates to my travel cellphone. The programs on my main cell phone - e.g. Duck Duck - are way out of date. Both phones appear to have the same settings - do updates with Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi IS active on both phones.

In the Tomcat-log of my on-prem Appian platform I see the following error approximately once a day and not on all machines of my Appian cluster:

00:20:00,050 [com.appiancorp.quartz.BackgroundJobScheduler_Worker-1] ERROR com.appiancorp.plugins.backups.quartz.PluginCleanupJob - Error cleaning up old backup plugin files java.lang.IllegalStateException: Missing authentication token.

Click to expand...

Yes, I tried searching the Appian Community, but maybe somebody here has any idea how to figure out which token is supposidely missing (for which system)? The curious thing is that all Appian plugins seem to work without issues and why this error is only occuring on one (and not all machines) of the cluster.

When I long press a highlighted area or keyword in Android Studio (Electric Eel) on my Mac, it automatically jumps me to the declaration, which is extremely annoying, as I invoke this feature by accident 99.9% of the time. As such, I would like to disable it.

However, I couldn't find any information on how to disable this feature for AS Electric Eel. Does anyone know how to disable it? Thanks!

Just in the TV/Video section it's both nostalgic as well as funny:

"Android TV, along with the Nexus Player, will inevitably revolutionize television just as iTunes revolutionized music and Android revolutionized smartphones. Find all the Android TV news and info your heart desires from the comfort of your couch with our Android TV forums!"

It's not even called Android TV these days lol. In the automotive forum, apparently, Android Auto just launched.

I cannot find the Google Pixel 6 Pro forum that I belonged to. I can search for the threads, but I get a "page can't be found" error when I tried to open the forum.

just noticed this........so no more device specific forums? i only see one for hardware where you can select the manufacturers. just curious if i am missing something.

I have used dnd forever but lately I am having issues with text and call notifications bypassing dnd. Especially annoying in the middle of the night. I have my Favorites in my contacts as allowed. For some reason all texts and calls are getting thru. Any ideas how to fix this?

This is crazy. I have auto and home insurance through a major insurance company 20+ years. Wife just paid the 2021 Jeep insurance $390.74. I thought that seemed a little high, so I checked previous payments for the Jeep.

2/11/2022 $314.01
8/11/2022 $368.50
2/11/2023 $390.74

No accidents, clean driving record. The Jeep is getting older and worth less and the price keeps going up.

I then checked pricing at Progressive $278.00 for the exact same coverage. I doubled checked.

Just wrote an email to my insurance agent and told him they were pricing themselves out of the market and if this isn't corrected I would be gone in 6 months.

Sorry I know I'm posting a lot of questions one's related to the same thing. But like I said in a previous post I like to research a lot beforehand. Anyway just wondering if anyone here was in my situation went from an s6 to an a53? I was wondering how much different they are and how much better or worse the a53 was/is compared to the s6. I'm just trying to get an idea of what I hopefully have to look forward to when I get my a53 hopefully by Wednesday.

Hello, I have an A53 with Android 13, and I use Gboard as keyboard. All updated.
The normal copy and paste, works fine, but the clipboard doesn't keep text in memory more than a few hours.
After a bunch of hours, the copied text in clipboard, just disappear, regardless if I keep the phone on or I restart it.

With my old Android 9 phone, I had all the copied text always available in clipboard, until I manually deleted it.

And the game is finally released for the public.
You can download and enjoy both Demo and Full version from here:

Hello All,

Would it be possible to clone the storage device from a good obd2 professional grade automobile scanner to a laptop or a Chromebook that has had android put onto it
In other words much more robust 'modules' from an actual scanner ,versus the lightweight freeware apps available on Google Play and others.
Not sure what most of the professional grade obd2 scanners even use for storage. Sure seems like this would be doable,,with nothing more than a cheapo elm327 bluetooth dongle...would only thing extra would be needed.

ok so we are now more than 2/3rds done with the season. there is less than 2 weeks to go before the trade deadlines ends. who are your team(s)? do you think your team will make the playoffs?

for me i am a huge LA Kings fan. been following them since Gretzky came to LA. my team has won 2 cups since then (2012 and 2014). we have only 4 players left from those cup teams. we have a nice mix of young and veteran players, but the team is made up of mostly young players. we made the playoffs for the first time in 5 years or so last year. we did not make it out of the first round. today we are only a point away from 1st place Vegas in the Pacific division. i think we should go pretty far. but i think we are kind of shaky at goaltending. Pheonix Copley has stepped in admirably. but he has no playoff experience and Quick is starting to show some slowing down.
