I use Google Photos as my photos app. I used to backup photos from another Android device when it was free to back up in reduced quality. I have noticed that some features (eg: Memories, face grouping, photo date editing) are only available for backed up photos, and not local ones. Is there a way to enable those features for...

I have a Oneplus phone which has a beta version of Android installed. I side-loaded it a couple of years ago from the official source (Oneplus website). I don’t remember if it received any further updates, I think it didn’t. I don’t know how to revert back to a stable release. It has been working without any problems. I...

Before judging ( which i knw you will 🤣), I’m new to mobile dev. Sooo “handle with care”?

I know Battle for Wesnoth (not an RPG) and it’s great on PC, probably on tablet too, but a bit annoying to play on a phone so I’ll pass....

I’ve heard that gcam is just better than all the stock apps on android phones. I have MIUI stock camera and I hate it, at least on my phone, it feels like “laggy” and just doesn’t work well....

My uncle recently gave me an old Minix Neo X8-H Plus. It has been upgraded from the stock Android KitKat up to Lollipop, and it has been rooted. I have connected a USB DVD drive, but I haven’t tested it yet....

Why is the exposure time/ shutter speed for my phone capped at 1/2 (half a second)? I would like to take photos with an exposure time of up to 30 seconds. Even when installing other apps, like GCam or Open Camera, it is not possible to increase the exposure time. I have an Fairphone 4 with Android 13....

The same way it does in Google maps, and in Waze. But I can’t seem to find a setting on the phone that will do that for any other apps, and I can’t find any information through internet searches that leave me that direction....

It is at a slightly cheaper value than YouTube Premium in my country and offers multiple games and few apps. Though the quality of the games are sometimes poor (I think Apple Arcade has some exclusive games for itself something which Play Pass lacks) and apart from apps like Tasker or KWGT, one would be hard pressed to find a...

I used to take screenshots of the picture I wanted to use as wallpaper, but then Android stopped that from working, and now I have to manually add a giant border to make the screenshots fit the arbitrary fiant wallpaper size on the Android screen....

Ok, this is what i call a “gourdian knot” of a problem, admittedly of my own doing. first of, my tablet is an onn 10.1" surf tablet. nothing special. and it was many many months ago i thought “yeah, i’d root it” and it worked, but braindead me thought i did it wrong and tried again and mis-clicked and deleted something...

Android 14, an update released on 22 June under no more description than ‘security update’ has stopped syncthing being able to write to folders, even the few it allowed me to previously specifically grant access to. I can’t add a folder to sync, as it says ‘your android version hasn’t granted syncthing write access,...

We have seen hints in Google Photos that Google is going to make hiding faces from Memories easier and faster.

See title

In a rather prominent push, the “Start chat” floating action button now has a smaller Gemini FAB just above it. When you’re dealing with the rectangle, the square looks misaligned. Everything is visually correct upon scrolling.

I accidentally removed a MicroSD card from an Android device running Android 12 while it was being ejected. This happened because it took longer than usual (less than a few seconds), and I pulled it out without looking at the notification. Now, when I insert the MicroSD card into any Android device, it tells me to format it to...

Hi folks, a little troubleshooting help here, please....
