I use Brave browser and usually delete my search history about once per month. Just don't usually need it so I delete anything I don't feel that I need to keep. I just like to keep things neat and uncluttered. Besides that, I've read in multiple articles about keeping cookies that can track...

My understanding is that everything I search for and all deleted files reside somewhere inside Android phones. I had researched some medical papers but deleted all of it once I thought I no longer needed them. Now I find I need to revisit some of it but am unable to recall the search parameters...

Re: Pets of the AC Thanks for the quote because as I read it I couldn't hold back the years at my own story. With your help, it kept me grounded and grateful.

Re: Pets of the AC This is my Riley, my family, best friend, all I've got. She is a trained ESA/service dog, though not formally trained for specific medical problems. She's like my AmEx card, I never leave home without her! Didn't know it at the time, but later realized she was trying to...

Mustang7757 - I got the refurbished phone today, so now that I have a good one, I hope, I would like to go ahead and learn how to flash (?) the ROM on the other one. Never to old to learn and I learn by doing. A junior in HS I bought a 61 Chevy Impala 409, 4 speed. The carb needed overhauling...

As I stated earlier, I made sure the URL was www.Samsung.com and not www.xyzz.com/Samsung. The latter means it's not the official site. I checked the sites with VirusTotal, McAfee, Malwarebytes, and HitManPro. As far as I could tell they were all clean official Samsung sites and not downloads...

I finally got one if the PCs running. Not sure how and still not sure if everything is fixed. Ran into problems I've never encountered before. The SmartSwitch is the main thing that really messed it up. It's a long story and long journey. Anyway, I am almost afraid to download any of those...

I discovered that none of my USB ports were working. It was not recognizing my 2 external drives, therefore could not access backups, System Restore, or System Image. All but 3 of my 8 taskbar icons were showing, and I could not load the PreSonus recording software, among others. I...

OK - Somebody, I got the SamFirm and Odin3 v3.14.1 downloaded. I have watched videos, read tons of crap on Google but cannot get things to work right. One video shows Odin3 loading files for Bootloader (BL), AP and selecting them from files extracted from the Odin .zip files. I cannot find the...

I'll Google it when I have time. Surely it's not a unique problem.

Yeah, I uninstalled all the Samsung stuff, drivers for the phone, Odin, everything, the reinstalled the drivers. But still nothing. The other 2 recognized it without the drivers installed. So, I dunno. Guess I'll use the PC that's hooked into the CCTV and surveillance system. I can do that...

well, I got all the software installed and I think I figured out how to do it, but now this PC will not recognize my phone. It did yesterday OK. It is recognized by my other 2 PCs. Any ideas as to why?

Actually I have Cricket carrier, but it is a refurbished Sprint. It has some Sprint stuff on it. That's the main thing that can be a problem when you're poor and have to buy refurbished. I downloaded SuperSu and a file manager. Both of those showed that my phone is NOT rooted, but then when...

Ok I got the SamFirm going, I think. I didn't know which one to use, so I chose USA (TMB). Is that the right one? Now what? I haven't tried the Odin thing yet. (I appreciate your patience and understanding of my physical problems and your willingness to work with me at my pace. You have no...

Well, I finally found all the downloads I need. I installed Odin 3.14.1 and SamFirm 0.4.1. The thing that has me baffled is the USA versions, like USA(AWS), which apparently is Amazon web service. There are 3 more: TMB, CLW, and DOB. Which ones do I use? My phone was refurbished thru Walmart...
