    It has been quite a few years…. Hello Samsung/Android.

    1. The transfer process in general is described here: https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/7129955?sjid=13713268149633969911-NC&visit_id=638859125924066626-1034171095&rd=1&co=GENIE.Platform%3DiOS 3.

    My Pixel 9 pro xl

    Aw, that's too bad. I personally love the look of it. Which manufacturer these days makes phones with looks that you prefer?

    Question Tab Active 4 Pro - can't seem to get sms working

    I'm used to LTE-enabled tablets only being able to use the SIM for data rather than telephony (which would include SMS), but clearly you were able to do it with your older tablet. I think it's still worth asking Bell Canada about it.

    It has been quite a few years…. Hello Samsung/Android.

    Welcome back to Android! I don't use a Samsung phone as my daily driver (there are plenty of other folks here who can weigh in about that), but I can give you some general thoughts: 1. Google Keep is a great note-taking app that is easily accessible on any device (phone, tablet, laptop...

    Question Tab Active 4 Pro - can't seem to get sms working

    Do you have the Galaxy Tab Active 4 Pro with 5G, or only 4G LTE? Also, which carrier are you on? I just want to make sure your tablet supports the carrier's bands. You may also want to speak to your carrier's customer service about this, in case they need to activate something on their side.

    Question burner phones for travel?

    I've had good experiences buying from Woot. Maybe you could find an older Galaxy A series phone, like an A54, which would probably be pretty cheap these days.

    Question Can't Sign Out of YouTube

    I'm pretty sure that's the case. If your device has the option, you could try logging into a guest profile and accessing YouTube that way.

    Question Samsung Gallery App

    On a Pixel phone, you can also disable Google Photos (which is the default gallery app) in favor of any 3rd party gallery app.

    whatsapp lagging

    It may still boil down to some issue with ASUS's tweaks of Android 9 that you're stuck with. Ultimately, if WhatsApp is really important to you, you may have to consider upgrading to a newer phone. I know that still doesn't address the issue with backing up/transferring your chats, though. :(

    Question cant enable developer options

    I would guess that the phone is actually on Android Go, which is a pared-down version of Android for low-spec budget devices. Dev Options should still be available on Android Go, but it's also very possible that Bliss made some significant tweaks to the OS to block Dev Options, as Golfdriver97...

    Question Phone sound stops abruptly and call ends after 1 ring

    I'd say the likelihood is pretty high, considering that it persists in Safe Mode and after a factory reset. You could take it to a repair shop, but it may not be worth the cost ...

    Question Phone sound stops abruptly and call ends after 1 ring

    Did you try Safe Mode yet? You may also want to speak to your carrier about replacing your SIM card, because SIMs can become faulty.

    Question Phone sound stops abruptly and call ends after 1 ring

    Welcome to Android Central! For the sound issue, see if it happens in Safe Mode as well: https://www.hardreset.info/devices/realme/realme-9/safe-mode/ For the call issue -- what country are you in and which carrier are you using? Are you certain your carrier supports that phone?
