mustang, not sure if looking at the card or the package would help. it was brand new at some time. Anyway, I downloaded some apps which told me that the filesystem of the microsd card is sdcardfs.

I have a Samung S9+ phone running Android 10. How can I figure out if the microSD card that I inserted is ext3 or fat32 or whatever? Is there an app for that?

I have a Samsung S9+ that has upgraded to Android 10. While it was still in Android Pie, I could select/highlight a phone number, and the context menu that pops up lets me place a call on Hangouts Dialer. But now on Android 10, I don't have that option. I've gone to Settings-> apps -> three...

In Settings>Developer_Options>Running_Services, I see several things that I don't need. https://imgur.com/a/YKE8Esg I believe that unnecessary services that run are unnecessarily depleting my battery, leading to a shorter battery lifespan. I use my fingerprints to unlock, so I'm not sure if I...

Hi. I'm AndroidMatcha, and I'm a phoneaholic. I've been sober for 10 minutes. I'm looking for help. I'm looking for something that will lock down my phone and will only let me use one of three apps when I tell it to. The three apps are Amazon Kindle, Moon Reader, and Play Books. I've checked...

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 4. I installed the Contacts app by Google (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.contacts). When I tap on a friend's phone number, the regular Phone app opens up. But I want Hangouts Dialer to be the app that is used. How can I have...

tim1954, thanks for your reply. is there a way for Adguard to work based on which wifi network I'm on? You see, I don't trust myself to remember to switch off the blockage when I'm back on a non-metered wifi connection.

Hi all. I have a Note 4 running Android 6.0.1. In Settings/Wifi/Mobile_Hotspots, I've already selected WifiNetworkFoo as a mobile hotspot, yet Google Photos still does its automatic backup when I'm on WifiNetworkFoo. How can I get GooglePhotos to respect my wishes not to use my bandwidth when...

Samsung Tab 4. Running Android 5.1.1. Rooted. In Settings/General/Date&Time, I've disabled auto-update of time by removing the checkmark ✔ from the "Automatic date and time" box. I change the date to Jan 1, 2036. And the time to 01:00 AM. Why does the date and time still revert to the current...

Hello, I was in a cafeteria and the person beside me dropped their Android, an HTC One M8. There is a 3x3 pattern lock. Unfortunately, the screen says "No SIM card in phone", so I can't wait for a call from the owner. I've plugged the phone via USB to my Linux laptop, but my Linux file manager...

Koves, I've checked out the nest website. Like all other Nest products, the nest camera looks very good. But it won't work for me. First, it's beyond my budget. Second I need something that will work offline: capture video to internal storage/SD.

Dark penguin, I'm also needing what you were looking for. have you found any good apps?

I have a galaxy s3 smartphone. Model number is SGH-I747M (from Canada). Android 4.1.2. Rooted. It seems to me that Google Voice typing only works when I'm online. But I want it to work when I am offline. Is this possible? Is there a bug with my phone? How can I get Google Voice typing to...
