    I'm done with Windows & Mac. Ubuntu isn't great, but it's better than the alternatives.

    Question Bluetooth for trusted devices only

    Unfortunately, there is no option for high priority or automatic connect. There are no home commands for connecting specific bluetooth devices that I can see, only pairing. It just won't connect unless media player or phone are selected, so trusted devices by itself it worthless. Typical google...

    The screenshot is from the computer. At the bottom of the screenshot, please see the red band and the "connection failed" message. This is attempting to connect from the computer to the phone with neither phone nor media selected on the phone. Attempting the connection from the phone to the...

    Question Bluetooth for trusted devices only

    I wish to connect a Moto G14 running Android 14 to a desktop computer via Bluetooth. The computer is already paired and specified as a trusted device. That's all done. That's all I want it for. No media, no phone calls. Just as a trusted device. But I must say I'm going to use it for media or...

    Question what is the force stop list and how do i manage it in android 14?

    Moto G14 running Android 14. This isn't about RAM. This is about Battery. I've turned off all battery saver stuff, probably shouldn't have turned any on in the first place. We'll see if it happens again.

    Question what is the force stop list and how do i manage it in android 14?

    Within the last few days I am receiving multiple notifications per day that say "Force stop list" and a list of apps followed by "these apps stopped because of close app after screen lock." A long press on the notification takes me to the notification details which say "Close app after screen...

    Question Do Not Disturb schedule not working

    The phone is a Moto G14 with Android 14. On the notification quick settings bar, DND was there last night but gray, not colorized. It does not reboot overnight that I can tell. I'm not worried about the texts now, I took away all notification sounds during DND. Hopefully that works. Thank you.

    Question Do Not Disturb schedule not working

    The sleeping schedule is not custom. Adding a new schedule, it defaults to turn off at 7am. That time can be edited. It is correct. I went through an old post on google help. Special access permission is turned on for the google app, play services, framework. Last night I saw that it never...

    Question Do Not Disturb schedule not working

    The texts are from people I know but are NOT marked as starred contacts. Google Messages. I went through and only have the bare minimum allowed to interrupt DND. We'll see tonight.

    Question Do Not Disturb schedule not working

    Android 14. I have used the Do Not Disturb feature on a daily schedule of 10pm-9am for years. Most of that time it has worked. Now in the last few months I hear text notifications at 5am. What on earth could be going on here? I do use the stopwatch to see the elapsed time since I took a med so I...

    Is there an app/setting to distinguish accidental dialing from security?

    I desire to walk a short distance with my phone. I only wish to prevent accidental dialing while I do so, so no touchscreen? The only way I see to do it now is by lockdown which would seem to be more security oriented. Biometric disabled. Only pin. I would prefer an app or system setting that...

    Question [SOLVED] Emergency: new phone unusable - Talkback

    Talkback enabled, phone is severely limited. By using a 2 finger up gesture on the lock screen, I managed to get the phone unlocked. Now I'm stuck. I have screens open, youtube playing (I didn't start it) and I can't do a thing. Everything is frozen. I won't reboot again, I"ve rebooted several...
