    Battery Goes From 90% to 0% in One Hour Android 16

    yes, you are correct in my opinion. but we all hope for the best in these scenarios, and hope that it is just some rogue app or a bunk update. something that is fixable ourselves if it is the battery, what are your plans? batteries are replaceable, but they are getting more and more difficult...

    Help How to force stop apps PERMANENTLY?

    wouldnt that be because the apps that can use mobile data in the backgroud WILL use mobile data in the background when they are able to do so? so if you turn mobile data useage off, then these apps cannot use mobile data, so they use less RAM

    the way who says they should work? i find that i can say the same thing for every piece of tech that has ever been in my use the whole idea of android (imo) is that we DO have a way to have workarounds to make our phones OURS if you dont want workarounds, then get an iphone, where you are...

    All apps button, or square.

    you can rename them, add tags, etc. long press an icon while on the app menu scroll moving them around is a bit different, because you have to use KISS for a few days and select how you want the memory to work then use the history option to show you the apps you use most frequent (or however...

    Motorola Razr Won't Stay Unlocked and Won't Text With my Car

    iit can be awake and locked at the same time. i use WaveUp from f-droid to keep the proximity sensor active as well, that way if the screen does go off i can wave over the top of the phone to activate the screen but i still need to unlock it to use it

    Motorola Razr Won't Stay Unlocked and Won't Text With my Car

    i have never messed with a Razr, but if you open developers options there should be a 'stay awake' option that allows the phone to remain unlocked as long as it is charging

    My favorite movie is Excalibur, the John Boorman film from 1981. The part where Arthur breaks Excalibur while fighting Lancelot, and he realizes what he has done and what it means is incredible. The forests, the blossoms in the air with the soundtrack as they ride to battle, just a moving...
