    Device assistant app that is able to open search results on default browser

    Back when I used firefox (the android app is awful and I since switched to Kiwi), there was an option to set my device assistance app to firefox. This way any time I hold the home button it would search using the firefox browser based off of speech. Since I only use device assistance to look...

    Burner alternatives that don't deactivate lines?

    HELP! Burner crapped out on me ever since I switched to a new phone, it will not let me sign in. Their support doesn't even know what the problem is. So now I have to find an alternative. I liked burner because I had three lines which I used for various reasons which did not require me to...

    Light/dark mode not switching correctly

    I have it set to sunset to sunrise. The issue is related to the browsers (kiwi, firefox, opera) not picking the current theme properly. You have to refresh the page twice or otherwise trigger a page change again to make the proper theme selected.

    Light/dark mode not switching correctly

    This has happened on so far two different phones, and three different browsers. It looks like an Android issue to me. What will happen is it will be in the afternoon when I wake up, and I will notice the theme is set to dark on a new tab that I just opened. Then you have to refresh it twice...

    Need a messaging app that blocks texts that aren't in contacts and has schedule send

    I have been using textra for years, but it lacks the ability to messages that aren't from contacts. The problem with blocking unknown messages I heard was that it requires a new texting app that supports that feature, and the ones I tried do not support schedule send. So its a catch 22. Do I...

    How can I prevent my screen from waking when receiving notifications?

    Thats not the problem. I have tap to wake disabled and use no screen lock, so only the lock button is supposed to unlock the device. Well it doesn't. Notifications wake my device and bring it into the Home screen.

    How can I prevent my screen from waking when receiving notifications?

    When no screen lock type is used, the device will wake itself when a notification is recieved, such as when the charger is disconnected, text, etc. I do not want my phone waking up and all my stuff messed up while inside my pocket. On some android versions there is an option to disable the...

    Where is setting to turn off "Allow access to your data"?

    Could I root and disable the USB Settings app to avoid this prompt from appearing. I too am looking for a permanent solution here. Can't believe in 2023 you have to be prompted with this crap every time you plug your phone into your vehicle on a brand new device.

    Question Can the "Allow Access to Phone Data" Prompt be permanently disabled?

    I don't want my phone prompting me every time I plug my phone into my vehicle charging port. This is really REALLY annoying. Perhaps one of my biggest pet peeves with Android. Other than installing a custom ROM, is there any way this feature can be simply turned off, or forced into allowing...

    Disable Touch Input When S Pen Detached

    Samsung Gallery does not have this option like Xodo does. Very annoying. I can't find an app that has this feature, all the photo editor apps I've tried are meant for taking selfies and doing art work. Does anyone have any ideas?

    What are some alternatives to the following default apps?

    I. Samsung's Messenger Problem: Too clunky and unintuitive. Have to scroll down every time to view all messages due to enormous "Messages" title. Same with contacts. Annoying pop up balloon that reads "Converting to Multimedia Message" that overlays on screen preventing me from typing. I...
