    What happened to Android Cental?

    So iMore has been gone over a year? Holy carp on a stick! I just read the Goodbye message there. I joined AC originally in 2014, and remember two wonderful people who migrated over to there. I guess if you can turn on an iPhone and say Hey Siri ..., (only kidding) 😊 I always meant to buy a...

    Question How to fix this hard to get the tablet to charge problem

    I had a Nokia in 2019 that developed a warped Micro USB port because of th5 poor quality of metal on a large batch of them. I had to fit the cable in a similar way to your description. Within the year or maybe later they replaced the port and an attached small circuit board under warranty, as...

    Question Recommended steps to remove ads on new phone?

    No. 2 is a good place to start. I cannot comment on the other two but I personally would not recommend for at least an initial period of weeks when you will find other settings on each app that is creating ads. I have a Poco from 2020 and it has been clear of ads in the main from that time. You...

    Question Disable Gemini?

    Looks like your App Info. Try Settings - Google - All Services - Search, Assistant and Voice - Google Assistant - turn on Assistant only, Go back to Google Assistant setting and see if "Google Gemini" is off / not installed in the next option below Google Assistant. I have a Xiaomi Poco F2 on...

    How to remove Yahoo emails from Gmail account?

    @rvbfan Thanks. I hadn't seen that suggestion. That sounds fair to go to the Gmail Settings instead and unlink Yahoo, but it doesn't seem to be linked so I'll try some more tomorrow. 👍

    How to remove Yahoo emails from Gmail account?

    I have a Yahoo email address and a Gmail email address. Only some weeks ago I stupidly added my Yahoo email account to the Gmail app. There's no differentiation in the Gmail inbox as to which account an email arrived to. Regardless, I virtually never look at my Gmail emails, it's mostly...

    Question USB C to AUX Adapter not working

    @SpookDroid is probably right. There is mention in some searches of looking at the audio setting in Developer Options. Someone else had success buying a cheap dual output cable that allows charging and has a 3.5mm port as well. A regular adapter (w or w/o a dac, not sure) wouldn't work. Could...

    Question Mobile Hotspot

    What is the issue exactly? You want Bluetooth on / you don't. You're worried Bluetooth uses battery? What is the use scenario?

    Question Google maps timeline issue

    Did you get the Timeline history recovered? I don't look in too often anymore. Someone should help you better if it is still lost.

    Question Google maps timeline issue

    I still have Timeline history (it's not very accurate if I don't edit it) but was a little confused when I read somewhere about a change and thought it was ending. However I just found an email Google Timeline! several months ago about having to do something before May this year. I've read it...

    Question Hot Spot feedback please

    I used a Hotspot / MiFi device for a few years in the UK. I just use my 5G phone now. In recent years data only sim plans or on PAYG are more expensive than a phone sim, and with less data allowance. I have a 120gb phone plan which does me for 3 - 4 hours streaming a night and regular phone use...

    Question Oh boy - did I mess up?

    I've spent 24 hours double checking the year. We are still going forward through 2025. Who let all these people out of my freezer? Oh well. Great to see you Rukbat! and Ms Kids. In fact all the oldies here. Go see your doctors (not you B. D) I'm a previous member from the future.
