Sorry, can't help with the question (may have something to do with Google assistant, it gets its claws into everything if you have it on), but on deleting posts, I usually just edit and put "delete" in the text. If the mods are in a cleaning house mood, they freshen things up and delete for us.

I thought 'the big one with the pen' was a distinguishing characteristic for sure and a strong selling point. I bet Samsung will have something compelling in the lineup again at some point though. Give it time, Pixel had a few duds in the line but Google can turn it around. Samsung can do the same.

Step one is handle your bank, in person if you have to and factory reset (or skeet shooting and buy a new one) that phone. If you keep using that phone as-is you'll never get out from under this. Turn it off at least until you get to your phone carrier and they can help with the reset if you...

Yes, the devs set the platform to require some data to be entered, something needs to be entered. The law is important of course, and if you're under 13 ask your moms to set you up. If that's not the case, everyone lies on the internet; protect your privacy and be born in 1940-something with the...

If not related to what has already been said above, if the question is specifically what to do about rogue apps, I'm a fan of factory resets. Android phones are notoriously bad about update and securty patches (unless Samsung or Pixel) and I'd hate to not get all of the clutter out. If that's...

If you can move your coffee cup a little to the right, it's blocking my view of your toilet.

One possible place to look is in the settings: Under Settings -> Display, hit the 'Advanced' drop down menu. Towards the bottom there is a 'Display size.' If you set it to 'Default' (or one of the larger options if you were using larger), it should have your text and icons set to the default...

Thank you, lol.

I've had similar issues over the years, especially with cheaper devices like that. In the past, upgrading my wifi/router fixed my problems. In another case, I had an old device that was 'poisoning' the network - if I used it, it would knock most of the other devices offline on my network. Twice...

Thank you; good to be here!

Grats on the purchase 8). I like their approach on foldable devices (not a fan of folding the actual screen that other companies are going with), I've been watching this one too and like what Microsoft is doing with it - hope it treats you well!

I use a throwaway gmail account for my phone (and of course turn off all the ad personalization options on it). Not tying it to your email address you've been using for the last 10 years is a good start in not handing your data to Google on a silver platter. They are smart enough to probably...
