    UI 8 for the S24 Rolling Out Now

    Exynos models need a USB cable plugged into the port on the phone and the other end in a PC for the Vol up + Lock button press to work. You don't need to do anything on the PC, it just has to be plugged in for some reason. Snapdragon models don't need that.

    UI 8 for the S24 Rolling Out Now

    On Reddit, someone with an S24+ got the One UI 8 download while on AT&T. It was a factory unlocked model from Samsung. Guess unlocked gets it before locked models. Used to be that way, then kind of flipped for a few years, now back to the way it was before again. Edit - spoke too soon. Just...

    Nova Launcher (Bad News) [emoji22]

    Ah, yes. I posted in there too. I guess whatever they did to mess with the Material You Theming was something that I just didn't encounter.

    Nova Launcher (Bad News) [emoji22]

    Yeah, I'm on 8.1.1 now, and came from 7, and 6 before that. I didn't notice anything, unless it's a feature I don't use.

    Nova Launcher (Bad News) [emoji22]

    Using Nova since 2017, there was never any kind of layout change. Nor was that ever mentioned. What did happen when Branch originally bought Nova was a change in the search feature - making it use some search engine that Branch developed - going through their servers... or something like that...

    Real Time Calendar Syncing

    Google calendar with all devices signed in with the same Google account. Can do the same with an Outlook account. Both can be done with a free account.

    Ford Bronco, thoughts?

    I'd also suggest staying away from the Bronco Sport. It shares the same platform with the Escape and Maverick which has had constant problems. The full size Bronco is at least a better choice, and the issues it had early on seems to have been mostly worked out.

    Question How to factory reset without Samsung account android 15

    Sign out of the account first before resetting. Just to be sure. Then make a new one with a good email address if you want.

    What are you listening to?

    While "Harden My Heart" was a nice hit from Quarterflash, when I first heard this on that first album I bought back in '81, this was my favorite of theirs... still is.

    Carrier Phone

    AT&T branded phones, even if unlocked after-the-fact, still only get their updates while on the AT&T network. No way around that. No amount of "CSC" changing with SamFW or whatever will change that. T-Mobile can't help either. If you want updates, any updates including security updates, you...
