Setting up the new Google account was a great idea. I logged back in to my old account was immediately flooded by dozens of unwanted emails which made for a good reminder as to why I made the switch to begin with. Next, Google Photos needs to be setup. This can be a headache depending on how...

Yes, I've been doing some digging as well and I guess creating a folder is the answer here rather than an album. This is kinda where I originally found myself drawn to that other OS... Slightly more intuitive when it comes to these things. I'm also aware that I'm extremely anal and most people...

When moving pics to a custom folder I created, is the a way to delete or otherwise hide the photo from it's original location? Like if I download a pic and add it to my "work stuff" folder I'd like to only see it in that folder rather than having it in "work stuff" and "downloads". I hate...

Turns out the question mark is simply a symbol. Rather than an alert to take action or something. I feel dumb lol.

No. My daughter's name has a cat emoji and the system placed a little icon there. Although maybe that's all the question mark is but my wife uses the same emojis for me in her phone and I asked her about it and my contact info on her end is normal. I'm gonna delete the emoji and see if that's...

My wife messages have a question mark in her little bubble where a person's contact photo or first initial would be and I can't figure out why. I originally thought it was because I have an emoji before her name but I have an emoji next to my daughter's name as well and her's just displays a...

Now that this little Pixel has the matte display I desired (I love how a matte finish sounds as your fingers slide across the screen) and my OCD is no longer hyper focused on fingerprints and glare, I'm ready to start getting the internals mapped out to my liking. Let's start with the meat and...

Got it. Thank you.

Before diving into the software side of things I try not to even open a new phone unless I have a screen protector to immediately install. That can be tricky sometimes if the retailer doesn't carry many accessories or if the device is very new. In this case I ordered tempered glass via T-Mobile...

Thanks so much. Definitely no three dots on the post in question. Although I did get the next to the unfollow option. I'll keep digging and get the hang of it. Edit: so you were absolutely right but only with this reply. Not with the original post. Once again... I'll keep digging

Thank you. If I remember correctly, bla1ze is one of the old names I remember from the CrackBerry days. The nostalgia the last couple of days scrolling this site has been worth every penny of my new phone 😁

So I started a thread in the Pixel 9a forum and I'd like to build off that first post. My question... Can I continue to update that original post rather than adding a new one or replying to myself? If I can update can someone please explain how because I looked to that option. Thanks in advance.

Tues, May 6th 2025. The Pixel 9a forum seems to be completely empty. Perfect. Because I want this thread to be my journal. A spot to document everything I've done to this little midrange model in order to turn into a customized powerhouse full of fun, function and productivity. I like my...

I just mentioned the Bold 9000 in my introduction post. Man, I miss that phone dearly. The epitome of class with the leather back and at the time the display was absolutely incredible. Awesome time for smartphones.

I remember getting the BlackBerry Bold 9000 years ago and while I've always been into electronics, that phone captured my attention like nothing before it. Hours spent on CrackBerry and various forums. I even had a published article on CB. I remember Android being released. And everyone talking...
