Bumping this in the hopes of learning...something. Another week of no Android and Chill, and Jerry's name is still removed from the meet the team section. First and foremost, I hope he's OK. Jerry has been an unbelievably vital member of the Android Central community since forever. His...

His weekly Android and Chill column didn't post this past Saturday, and now I don't see him under the site's meet the team link.

S24+ on Verizon. The voice recorder app is a system app, and so it can't be deleted. I was on a call today and my cheek inadvertently brushed the screen where the voice recorder icon is located during a call, and everyone on the call suddenly heard the "this call is being recorded"...

Ok, was able to solve this and bring back the trusted device option by wiping cache and data for Google Play Services (recently updated), and then wiping the cache partition. Voila. I must be hallucinating as I hear Rod Serling's voice - "You're traveling through another dimension, a dimension...

And of course, share I shall!

Interesting. Here's what I see on mine:

Either I’m on shrooms or the update has removed trusted devices from extend unlock. I see the on-body detection option, and the trusted places option, but I no longer see the trusted devices option. Verizon, S24 Plus.

Lots of news spreading fast about the worldwide pause of the update. The articles I've read indicate there's a bug in the update that prevents users from unlocking their phones. As a side note, this is the last time I will install a major update like this without first waiting 30 days after...

Count me among the confused that Samsung would deem the new battery icon an improvement compared to the old one. I'm also disappointed in how they limited the ability to sort the app drawer. It's great that there's now vertical scrolling in addition to the horizontal scrolling we're all used...

Right. Dev's last (and seemingly final) update from January 2024 states: "Fixed the account verification issue with the base64 encoding format for the URI query value used in Outlook accounts."

I'm in the hell-place familiar to many when moving from an old, reliable workhorse to a new phone. I loved my S21, but Samsung recently announced they would only provide security updates on a quarterly basis. As a result, I pulled the trigger on a new S24 Plus. My question relates to an old...

Greetings from the other side of the Android 13 update for Verizon. So far so good, with one super annoying issue I can't seem to figure out. Pre-update, if you wanted to change the size of the teeny tiny font in the status bar (where notification icons reside, as well as the time and battery...

Thanks for the response. Last 4 on the build # are CVC4. I had cleared cache partition before in recovery mode, but will try again. I basically always clear cache partition after every update…

Strange situation. Downloaded and “installed” latest update this morning (Verizon S21). At the end of the “installation”, I got an error code 410 - “Update Unsuccessful…Failed”. There wasn’t anything unusual about the installation except for the phone getting hung up for a bit longer than...

Quick update for anyone who experiences a problem with Verizon's visual voicemail after the update. Looks like it might have just gotten hung up until the next voicemail came in. Once someone left me a message this morning (1st voicemail since the update), it came through with the visual text...
