    Incoming Google Lockdown

    i saw today that if i open the Tubi app, it loads and then tells me that Tubi will not run without "Google Play Services, which is missing from your device." tapping the screen most anywhere twice or a few times dismisses this toast message, and then the app works fine. (this is all the proof...

    Incoming Google Lockdown

    personally, i would advise anyone that doesnt use google for squat to purge your device(s) of everything that is google as much as possible i have used a combination of apps to 'uninstall for user' every google app possible while having a working device of course, this makes a device extremely...

    Incoming Google Lockdown

    i understand this. but wouldnt it be better if the devices just didnt get the update? im not interested in jumping through any more hoops than i already do. I have read that the 'update' is through google play services what if that app is not active, and a firewall blocks internet to it?

    Incoming Google Lockdown

    Has anyone come up with an avoidance plan for the coming lockdown this fall? I may have an answer, but I am wondering if and what plans/precautions others are doing/have done if they are trying to avoid this. I feel that most people will roll over and take it, much like during 'covid' and out...

    S25+ Battery Issue

    also, battery cycles are measured by 0% to 100% being one full cycle. if you charge from 50% to 100%, that is half of one cycle and you would have to do that twice to get one full cycle. likewise if you were to charge from 20% to 80%, then you have completed 60% of one cycle. that is why the...

    Unsafe but longed for website

    maybe noroot is blocking shizuku. i had issues with noroot, and i wanted the other features of invizible at the same time normaly you cant run a vpn and a firewall at the same time because the vpn system can only run one thing at a time luckily invizible does this all in one

    Unsafe but longed for website

    NoRoot only uses the android vpn service to run a firewall invizible does that, but also has TOR built in, which changes your IP address like a vpn does. you just tell it what countries you are blocked from and it will make you seem to come from somewhere else

    Junk Drawer / Tool Box

    i did this as well years ago. as i learned from using them, however, much like a woman's purse, it is much faster and less frustrating to just dump the whole thing to find something rather than to dig and dig and dig and still not find it

    Restore Samsung

    it sounds like he blocked it himself by mistake. you can block certain IPs from connections, and it is global, meaning it blocks for the whole device not just one app. i used to use it for sites that persistantly sent redirect after redirect. it worked usually after a while, but the app grows...

    Shaken bake

    if you have problems with it stopping, you can put a quick setting icon in your quick settings and that seems to keep it active.

    Shaken bake

    I use WaveUp from F-droid. it uses the proximity sensor to allow the screen to wake by waving my hand over the top of the screen and/or by taking the phone out of its case. https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.jarsilio.android.waveup/

    Try using Canta and Shizuku. The apps work together to wirelessly 'uninstall for user' system apps with ADB. You need Android 10 or above, and Wi-Fi.

    Junk Drawer / Tool Box

    Those tiny little toolboxes at Harbor Freight and most other places that sell tools. They are a Godsend for my toolboxes because i put what is in the 'junk drawer' into the little toolbox and now it is out of the drawer (leaving me a drawer for more tools) and it is all organized in the little...

    File removal

    Yes, you can delete the data in the Google Files app. The one you dont want to mess with is the stock files app, it is required to be there so dont Canta it(wireless adb user uninstall for those that dont know) because it will break the file system on the device. Much like how you have to...

    Nonsucky 256 gb Android, preferably under $200

    I dont see many costing more, what i do see is less manufacturer unlocked devices in the stores. The cheap Motorolas that i see now are much better than what i have as far as the chipsets and cameras, but that is partly due to the advancement of those parts and partly due to the fact that my...
