    Question SMS messages no longer there?

    Opening the google fi app?

    I was afraid of that; but it does raise a question: How legal is it for google to force you to buy a new phone to access a service for which you are already paying?

    Question Flip to Shh not working?

    All: Thanks for the replies. I did not realize that 'Flip to Shh' was a Pixel-only app. Seems so basic/useful that I cannot imagine why every phone doesn't have it. Just to check: The Tasker app has been mentioned. Is this https://tasker.joaoapps.com/ it?

    Google engineer incompetence

    I have a OnePlus 12 and one of the very first settings I turned on was 'Flip to mute incoming calls'. So, why did my flipped phone ring this morning when I received a spam call?

    This phone has been rooted since day 1. On the previous phone, also rooted, the navigation bar did not appear. Sorry for having wasted your time. Just checked my recently retired phone and the navigation bar appears on it as well. Guess the difference is the color - on the old phone, it was...

    Question Minor layout issue: hide the navigation bar

    I have a OnePlus 12 that is rooted, up, and running. I disabled the various swiped gestures, because, for me, they are the cause of possible issues and I do have the navigation bar visible at the bottom of the screen. Question: Is there some way to hide the navigation bar when apps run in full...
