If they allowed anyone to uninstall anything and everything they'd end up in a similar situation as Linus Tech Tips did with Linux when he forced the system to install a broken Steam package and nuked his desktop environment by typing 'yes do as I say' after it warned him in all caps about...

Yeah but with the A series it's not so cut and dry. Although you had to pay attention when they went from S10 to the S20, as they don't use generational numbers anymore but years. S20 = 2020 for example, while S10 was 10th Generation. Then there's the 's' moniker that means nothing. The A02s...

Since I don't travel often and the roads I go on never change, the fact that the maps are 'out of date' mean nothing to me. It gets me to my girlfriend's place and anywhere in town (not to mention finding backroads away from traffic) just fine. I'm an if it ain't broke kinda guy. It also still...

I always called Google apps the bloatware. I never asked for them, they cannot be removed, and have less features than the Samsung apps (Internet, Messages, Gallery, etc). Plus Google's track record of killing every app as soon as I start liking it got tiresome. Play Music was the last straw...

What do you think a 'factory reset' is? It warns you like three times that it will ERASE ALL USER DATA (in all caps). Sadly, Android never got the equivalent of iCloud where all your data syncs up soon after you login to your Apple ID (or in this case Google Account). That used to be a chief...

Honestly, the only thing I actually miss from the 80's are the TV shows, movies, and music. I certainly don't miss CP/M, Tandy DeskMate, Windows 1.x or Amiga WorkBench 1.x. Anyone who calls Flat UI Design 'modern' gets the obligatory images of flat UI back in the 80s when it made sense (hardware...

Many Samsung phones come with TikTok preinstalled and no way to properly uninstall it. Same goes for Facebook. It's like they assume people actually use those two over-rated apps. You can make them vanish from your apps list in two ways: Tap and hold the app in the apps drawer, and select 'hide...

Just the usual Wednesday grocery shopping at the one Kroger left in town that's stuck in 1978. I love that place. It's got the items in the same places, so getting in and out is fast. I'm so over the whole 'supermart' concept that happened to Walmart (RIP Kmart) and various others. Give me old...

Yup it's still around and so is the other forum I visit, Buggies Gone Wild Golf Cart Forum, both still using vBulletin. There's still posts but it's odd how many old users still have their avatars set to an old HTC Desire or BlackBerry Pearl. I personally try to steer clear of any sites that...

I guess I should count myself lucky that all that happened to me was my Vostro laptop simply logged me out. Logged in fine though. Chock one up for the unsupported OS and its equally outdated Firefox!

Don't install task killers, battery 'optimizers' or anything with the name 'Cheetah Mobile' in it. You'll thank me later. Just use and enjoy it.

Samsung my god please stop with the confusing naming scheme of letters/numbers. No one knows what's the better or worse or newer or older anymore.

Oh God please no. Daily Net sounds so....bland. Like everything else in society these days. It also sounds too close to 'the old net'. If the website changes, what happens? What do I do when I type in 'androidforums.com' and get a 404? I don't do Twitter or Facebook (can't even login if I...

Is it possible to get square avatars back? I never have been 'fawn'd' of round. I like the 'new' look as it reminds me of the old AF back when it was vBulletin based. Can we have some retro tech forums since you want to make it an all tech community now? I feel so alone with my love of vintage...

I'll probably get laughed at but... "The Yearling (1942)" The movie cover had my innocent deer loving mind smitten, but I found out it's just Old Yeller for deer lovers. It ends exactly the same way but worse since it's not the mercy killing that Old Yeller got (he was rabid) but more like...

Otherwise known as changing for the sake of changing, much like anything else from this era. Makes me glad I use stuff that never gets updates anymore. I'm far more sane.

I never will understand the appeal of shows such as Duck Dynasty, Swamp People or 'Hillbilly Handfishin'' (please don't look up 'noodling' unless you got vore fantasies!!!) and that last one was on Animal Planet of all things... Hunting is non-negotiable with me. I don't want to know you or...

Neither is SMS for me. It's also not reliant on having internet/data available, never forces you to update the app, and never forces annoyances like typing indicators or reading your message statuses. I love the basic, AIM style of send message, wait for 'DING!' read response. All in a nice...

I had tons of Android groups that were great. I also was a part of many Star Trek and vintage electronics areas there. There were no ads, no bans, no blocks and there was real debate. It was a great time. I wish we had more than FB, Twitter and Reddit today. But everything seems destined to be...

Nice UI design there! I wish I had that kinda luck. All I got for 'responses' when mentioning Daisy back then were the kinds you'd often get from hunters. Nobody cares about the deer anywhere. If it ain't a dog or cat you got nothin'. I bet no company, not even PetSmart would give a darn if...

Whatever the hell this font is called. It's EVERYWHERE lately and worse than comic sans. Comic Sans makes me laugh, but this font makes my eyes hurt. It's also on all these signs people are fond of putting everywhere in their home. Signs that use that font to say stupid stuff like 'PORCH' or...

Lay's classic brand has always been vegan (literally oil, salt and potatoes). I learned about the Oreos back in 2009. My home is filled with gadgets too. But none past the year 2014 (the day the tech progress and beautiful UI died). My home is a testament to the 1950s up to 2014. The newest is...

Their A series is just a lag time for feature creep (or in this case, removal). For example, we got headphone jacks and expandable storage in A-series for now, but give it a few years they'll be where the S22+ are today. It just takes longer. Plus they're still too darned big. I don't want as...

Just logged in for the first time in awhile. I'm loving the 'new' layout. It reminds me of the old AF. A lot easier on the eyes. Faster loading on this 16 year old Windows 7 laptop. Don't change it it's fine! Well, there's one thing I'd love to see if it's possible. Is there any way to ditch...

Notice when in recents overview there is a tiny error 'couldn't add widget' in the upper left? I'm not adding any widgets and those I did add seem to work perfectly fine? Currently on 5.0.2
