I can figure out how to do this for ringtone, but what about SMS message notifications? I'm using Google Messages on a Pixel 4a on Android 12.

Since upgrading privateinternetaccess app doesn't work anymore on my Nexus 5. When I click Connect I get this popup, but if I tap OK, nothing happens. Tapping Cancel works fine. Is something blocking it on my phone? I then tried the apk from the support forum here...

My Cockapoo dog (cross between cocker spaniel and poodle)

I've put back most of my Apps (just the ones I use regularly) and had a look at GSAM Battery Monitor and it looks fine now: If I need any more apps, I will add them slowly one by one and monitor. Thanks for the help!

Thanks, yes the phone has been rebooted numerous times with no effect. I've taken the rather drastic step of uninstalling all apps from the phone and have installed the GSAM battery monitor. Let's see what happens. Perhaps it's not Google's fault after all, but just a crappy app -- crapp? :D

I'm getting pretty tired of this device. I really want to like it but recently, for no apparrent reason my Nexus runs very warm and the battery drops very rapidly and charges very slowly. I left it plugged into the wall charger for 6-7 hours and by morning it was only 49% charged. A few hours...

I need to do some work on my house and need to know accurate room dimensions. Rather than getting out my tape measure I wondered if there was a good, accurate android app for this task?

Might not be applicable to you but I use the Safari Online mobile website on my Android and it is formatted beautifully.

I am a recent convert to Android from iPhone 4S. I have Pocket Casts on 4.4.2 and I have some video podcasts I would like to watch, but as I'm at home, I would rather watch them on my PC monitor. My internet connection is slow so I don't want to have to download it again. One feature of iTunes...

I did not find any reason to, and I did not want to invest any time learning how to do it. Although I would like to fiddle around with the phone, I just don't have the time.

Yes, that also annoyed me. I can't believe they "upgraded" the camera app and ripped out so many of the useful features.

I've been using the time lapse feature and tried to use it today, but discovered it had disappeared with the latest update. So, I loaded Camera Zoom fx and used the time lapse feature on there. However, whenever I load that app, it ALWAYS over-exposes the preview image until you take a shot, and...

Telegram is not secure according to security expert Steve Gibson. Threema is but I don't know if it has auto delete. Posted from my Nexus 5 via Android Central App

I thought I would check back in with you guys in case someone else gets a similar issue. I have now had the phone powered on for a week and I've not had a single restart. The previous phone was definitlely faulty, although I found it hard to believe at first. I asked a couple of colleagues if...
