Is it a rule imposed by the phone carriers, who want you to buy a different plan with no voice service if you have a tablet? It can’t be the phone makers since the are so many. It can’t be Android software licenses since Apple seems affected too. I’d be pretty interested in a tablet sized phone. But they seem to have maxed...

I don’t like how my friends, family, and work contacts are mixed in to the menu when I press share. I see a random jumble of people from various apps on my device....

I’ve got a tablet with way more storage space than my phone. I’d like to be able to access all the files on it from my phone, just for viewing, without having to manually set up both devices for something cumbersome like TeamViewer. But also without having to use cloud storage. Is there any way to do this?

Is there a simple text editor available for Android that doesn’t sell my data?

Anyone know of good FOSS and privacy friendly text to speech apps for Android? Want to listen to my notes

I have found the translation from camera source feature useful in Google Translate and I use it from time to time. Last night was one such occasion, yet when I attempted to enable camera mode, I received the message shown in the screenshot, “Please install the latest Google app in order to use camera translation”.

So I sideloaded few apps that are already present in playstore. But whenever I go to my updates menu , I can see all my apps installed via playstore as well as side loaded. Is there a way to stop this?

It assumes I do not trust installed apps and I believe was made to promote loose installing of whatever crap like loyalty cards apps, while I only install a couple of trusted apps all from F-Droid. Such module would enable faster installation of the systems and...
