    Cleaning up "Other" storage

    You may have already tried this, but if you take stock of what apps you have and which ones you could potentially do without from an app perspective by instead using web browser and PWA versions, that could potentially help a bit. Probably won't help for some apps/services, but might for others...

    Android 15/16 on BlackBerry Key2

    I don't think I've seen any chatter about this here on AC. https://forums.crackberry.com/showthread.php?t=1198847&p=13691573#post13691573

    Samsung photo app taking over and merging files w/o consent and creating junk files. How to stop?

    What exactly do you mean by each of those statements?

    Question Android Auto battery optimization

    I think the frustration you have is a result of how Xiaomi has decided to deploy their specific version of Android. Like Mustang, I have a few different simple ways to control battery optimization for Android Auto. So, it's probably not really Android's fault overall. I guess the fact that...

    Cleaning up "Other" storage

    For me, tapping on "other" will show me some of the files and then allow me to decide to delete them. However, it won't show me all of them. I can tell because the ones it'll show add up to way less than it says exist. For me, that's with the built in MyFiles file manager app for Samsung, after...

    Speed and limits on split screen but not on full screen.

    Or some Kenwood forums (although I won't be surprised if some other folks here in AC might also be able to help).

    Speed and limits on split screen but not on full screen.

    I don't have any Tom Tom apps/functionality on my phone for Android Auto nor on my (extremely limited/simple) head unit. Only the default Google Maps app served up to Android Auto from my phone. For me, the speed limit only shows up when I'm actually actively navigating with directions to a...

    What is this area on my screen...

    That makes sense to me, for why ours are reversed.

    What is this area on my screen...

    Yup. For me, that area is about shortcuting into media or messaging from on the connected phone.

    What is this area on my screen...

    I'm pretty sure (although not 100% certain) the "for you" on the head unit screen for Android Auto is not related to any sort of "Samsung For You" from the phone. I also don't remember what the Samsung For You looks like on the phone because I similarly have it always off or never on.

    What is this area on my screen...

    What shows off to the left for the OP shows on the right for me, when maps aren't full screen (presumably because of a difference in left or right selected setting for driver position). For me, the area provides the ability to quickly reply to recent messages and to also select to play (or pick...

    Question Can't set Do Not Disturb properly

    I think this is terrible, and maybe a security issue (or at best/worst a security awareness issue). I guess from Samsung's perspective their keyboard is core to their OS, as maybe even required through which any other keyboard apps function? Is that similar for stock Android, a default built-in...

    Question Can't set Do Not Disturb properly

    I'm glad the OP got things working for their need. Very odd/interesting about what happens with the settings menus when a time is used. I think that's really screwy (and explains what seemed odd to me with what someone else posted as the settings they have available in a related thread).

    Do Not Disturb still letting notifications through since update

    I think it's worth a try, to see if it works differently when you do something like that. Or, eidt your Sleep Mode settings so when Sleep Mode gets turned on it leaves Do Not Disturb alone and does not use such at all. Or, also closely review what your Sleep Mode settings indicate for how it...
