I actually originally encountered the problem while not in my house! But I guess while receiving data, not a wi-fi network. Would that make a difference? But the point is that it's not just in my house. By the way, Motorola's suggestion was to uninstall and reinstall Chrome. But now it looks...

Yes, it did come preinstalled. And I just tried safe mode and, yes, the problem persists! Actually, it's even stranger than that. On tabs that were already open, when I reloaded them, the display issues persisted. When I tried opening new tabs and navigating to a certain page, I didn't even get...

Well, the "force stop" trick has stopped working! So Chrome is basically permanently unusable now (well, permanent until I do something like reinstall it). I just want to ask, though. Motorola is obviously saying that Chrome is third-party software and this is a bug in that software. Do you...

That's certainly an option, although not really a "fix" I would say! It still begs the question, I think, of why something isn't working properly on a fairly new phone. Thanks.

No, no ad blocking software that I'm aware of (as in unless something downloaded without my knowledge or consent). But good suggestion -- thank you!

Clearing did not, but force stopping DID seem to work. Thank you! However, it will be interesting to see how long this lasts. As I said above, restarting the phone works as well, but is annoying. So if nothing else this will give me a quicker way of getting it displaying properly again. But if...

I'm having a strange problem with my fairly new phone (only a few months old) in which the Chrome browser essentially stops working. It's hard to describe in words and there's no reason to! So please see the attached screenshot. The good news is that restarting the phone DOES temporarily fix it...

Wow, now I'm really not sure what to say! Even with my old phone, it certainly took a lot more than two minutes. And, in case it matters, this is with trying three different machines to copy on to -- two laptops and one desktop. I'm guessing part of the problem is that the folder I'm OPENING...

Yes, that certainly is part of the problem -- I acknowledge that! Here's the thing. Just the total size of the files (images) I want to copy and paste to my laptop this time is 6.5 GB. But what I have to do is open the whole DCIM folder first, and that's obviously way beyond that as it's...

Every month I back up my Android's images to my laptop, and then from there to an external drive. Now I have a new phone, though (previously a Samsung Galaxy A32, now the Moto Power 5G), and suddenly this has become very difficult. Maybe it's the file-type this new phone uses, but now when I...

It's pretty close to a dealbreaker, yes. But then it goes back to figuring out what apps are making the noise. So let's say I hear one right now. Is there really no way to check to see exactly which one made it? If there is, I can just take them as they come and turn off the sound individually...

I don't think so, and B Diddy's comment below seems to confirm that. It's ridiculous! It's not like a shutter click is really a "disturbance" like a notification -- it's apples and oranges.

Maybe this is a bit silly, but one thing that bothers me about DND is the lack of sound the camera makes when it takes a picture. I like to know for sure that the picture has been taken! Unlike app notifications, I can't find a way to override that. Is there one? That would make me feel better...

Well, I'd rather not go to the "extreme" of permanent do-not-disturb if I don't have to. As for the sound of the notifications, well, it's a new phone so it's a bit hard to say (of course they are different from my old Samsung phone), but, no, I don't think they are any different from the text...

Quite simply, my new phone (Moto 5G Power 2024) won't shut up! That is, it's constantly making notification sounds and I don't know why. The problem is knowing what apps I need to turn notifications off for. The obvious thing to do is to check recent notifications by swiping down on the screen...
