    What is a good alternative to my Samsung Galaxy S9?

    Well that's a relief. It seems that in the war of innovation there are simple and useful pieces of functionality that are being chipped away one by one. Thank you for the reality check.

    What is a good alternative to my Samsung Galaxy S9?

    I am currently checking out the Pixel 4a but the lack of a back button is putting me off. Though it's the closest thing I've seen to my requirements. Thank you very much!

    What is a good alternative to my Samsung Galaxy S9?

    I replaced my Motorola Moto X4 with a Samsung Galaxy S9 and I don't like it. I picked it up as an unlocked, refurbished unit for $196.99 which I thought was a good deal. The volume buttons are unworkable on the left, the Bixby button is annoying (though I did disable it), the "dual speakers" are...

    How to expose system downloads folder?

    Oh right I forgot you said that so I'm using A+ Gallery now, already tried a few more, and when I look at the App Info and then Permissions all I see Storage with a slider and it's on. Perhaps that cache directory isn't part of the "storage" package or something. That doesn't really explain why...

    How to expose system downloads folder?

    I didn't see a .nomedia file in that directory. I'm rooted and currently using RootExplorer to check folder properties. Permissions on the cache folder are rwxrws--x and the permissions on the emulated folder are rwxrwx--- which are actually less than the folder which is causing me trouble. I...

    How to expose system downloads folder?

    Moto X4 Android 8.1.0 I've tried several gallery apps and currently I'm unable to determine a way to point my gallery app at my desired downloads folder. Scans don't seem to pick it up either. I have two downloads folders which I can access using my "Files" app. I can tap Moto x4 in the Files...

    Replacement suggestions for my much loved HTC One M8

    Even though I received zero suggestions I ended up getting a Google fi project Android One Moto x4 and I'm quite happy with it. About the same size and the buttons are all on the right rather than both sides. I was able to unlock the bootloader with a code from Motorola (violates warranty) and...

    Gboard Microphone Missing (Solved)

    My phone is a Google fi Android One Motorola Moto x4 phone running Android 8.1 (Oreo). The stock keyboard on my phone is Gboard and things were fine until tonight. I tried the SwiftKey keyboard, didn't like it and uninstalled it. When I switched back to Gboard the microphone for speech to text...

    Replacement suggestions for my much loved HTC One M8

    I love my HTC One M8 but upon trying to switch my service back to Verizon after changing it Friday they tell me my phone is no longer supported. Lame. So I need to find a new phone which mostly closely resembles my current rig. I don't like the whole "squeeze" thing on the new HTC phones so I...

    Have a rooted phone on Straight Talk? Please help!

    OK I think I found which carrier my SIM card is using based on this... If you already have the phone, check the SIM ID printed on the SIM and shown in the Prepaid menu (feature phones only). The first six numbers of the ID determine the carrier: 890126 = T-Mobile, 890141 = AT&T, 891480 =...

    Have a rooted phone on Straight Talk? Please help!

    Rukbat thank you for your reply. I would love to answer your question but I'm unsure how to tell. I didn't choose anything specific and they only had one sim card to choose from in their store. I thought as an MVNO you could potentially be using any of those towers depending on where you are...
