android

For years now after a while I just stop getting texts. Reboot the phone and they work again for a while. The crazy thing is that it’s happening on several phones. A pixel 3, a galaxy s20, and now a OnePlus 8. Signal works fine obviously but only a few people I know are on signal. Carrier is T-Mobile and they always just want...

Basically the tittle says it all. Is there something like iOS hide my email on Android? I would love to switch from iOS to Android but I can’t live without hide my email thing. Thanks!...

Basically the title. I would rather not get scammed… :) The idea is to move to GrapheneOs as my next step, but I don’t necessarily need the newest device....

I went through my late teens as the initial smart phone boom was happening. I had a Motorola q that could get TV channels and had a keyboard. I had the enV that flipped open. And many androids/blackberries that I loved for their unique form factor and functionality....

I tried acode, quickedit, markor, squircle CE, and numerous others....

My favorite Reddit client Infinity has a Lemmy version now, it’s still heavily WIP (pre-release) but works like a charm already. A few hours ago IzzyOnDroid added it to his F-Droid repository so while it’s not in the official one yet, which isn’t that easy with a pre-releases app and only updates weekly, you can install...

What’s the best screen size for you?

From 9to5google:...

I have about 5 different apps installed right now, and while I plan to test them all out, curious what people’s conclusions are thus far.

I hope it’s okay to ask for support here. I have a 2022 Motorola 5G phone, and it keeps turning down the volume on its own by exactly four notches. Is it possible this is some kind of setting somewhere? Maybe I have accidentally turned this on, and it’s trying to protect my hearing or something?

On Windows, the go-to emulators are Bluestacks and NoxPlayer (both closed source), especially when gaming is concerned. Unfortunately they are not available on Linux, and the Nox devs’ dismissive attitude towards Linux also makes it unlikely they’ll ever make a Linux port:...

I’m looking for a simple note taking app for Android, which can sync with a Nextcloud server (or similar decentralyzed software). Thanks in advance!

Wanted to see how everyone in the community felt about the using the android navigation bar buttons vs using gesture control....

Hey guys, Im looking for solution to change default save path from /DCIM/Camera to another folder (that syncs with selfhosted cloud). I tried 2 versions of gcam, opencamera and few apps from play store, but cant find a way how to change save path. I also want to use non google galery, enjoying simple galery pro atm....

Looking for an app for note-taking with the following features:...

I know that most customizability features that were once exclusive to custom roms are available for use right out of the box these days....

Every time my phone gets connected to bluetooth speaker, messaging apps automatically come out of forced stop state and start running in the background....

A couple of times I’ve been presented with notifications from commercial apps downloaded from the Play store that are very clearly promotional material. Thankfully, Android allows me to block particular notification channels if I swipe the notification lightly and hit the gear icon. I can disable the particular “Promotion”...

Apologizes in advance for the wall of text....

I hate how every phone uses biometrics as a bypass to a pin/password instead of being used in conjunction with a pin/password. With biometric + pin, someone needs both your pin and fingerprint. And there can be a prompt for a longer “fallback” password if there is X number of incorrect attempts or at restart. Is there such a...

I’m tried of how terrible Gmail is. Id like an email client with folders or categories. If it can sort them automatically (like how Googles now defunct inbox app used to) that would be even better....

Hello there,...
