    Question Locked out of my Samsung account

    This all sounds about right for customer no service. Have you done the phone number change thing? I know it says it will take 2 weeks but 2 weeks vs the loss of everything, I'm picking the 2 weeks. Just reading over everything you've posted it sounds like you probably haven't had control of...

    Question VoLTE issues

    Welcome to Android Central forums. Glad you found an answer or at least a work around. I asked Google your question and got this reply. Flashing the U1 firmware and changing the CSC using a tool like SamFW might enable VoLTE if your local carrier's settings are included in the U1 firmware's...

    Question Is the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic compatible with Pixel 10 pro yet?

    Out here in the general Ask a Question area you might be hard pressed to find someone with either device much less find someone using both. I would recommend posting this in the Pixel 10 threads, where you know they have the device and maybe know something about the watch. Anyway, I asked Gemini...

    Question Hey google activation and Gemini with unsupported languages

    Welcome to Android Central forums. According to Gemini Finnish is not an official language for Google Assistant. You can read more here. Then I found this Google Support community post asking, when will Assistant be fully supported in Finland. It's from 2019 and there doesn't appear to be...

    Question Google On Device Encryption of Passwords

    You are already decrypting your online cloud stuff by signing into Google. Your passwords and auto fill don't work if you're not signed in to your account. If you need more security, they also offer 2 factor, Google calls it 2-Step, verification which decrypts your account information which...

    Question Google On Device Encryption of Passwords

    Somehow there are two more posts between mine and the one I was responding to. I probably got too long winded and you posted before I could.

    Question Google On Device Encryption of Passwords

    No, that is not how that works. When you unlock your phone, PIN, password, pattern, whatever you use, decrypts the data on your phone for use. So, it isn't encrypted forever when you use it. Let's say someone got a hold of your phone and found your Password folder, there really isn't a folder...

    Question Contacts sync app recommendation

    Try as you might, you're using an Android by Google device, with a Gmail by Google email address, on a device you've agreed to the Google terms and conditions of service to use. I get it, try to volunteer as little as possible but at the end of the day B. Diddy is right, and I think everyone...

    WiFi Calling - Callers go straight to Voice Mail

    Welcome to Android Central forums. I plugged your question into Google's AI and got a reply that this is not a unique condition and offered some advice for each of the causes it named. You can see that list here. I found a thread on Reddit asking this same question. The OP of this thread says...

    Question Why does this site show a red dot in my chrome shortcuts?

    It 100% tells you that you have a notification waiting for you on the site. I get them sometimes after I've opened the site and navigated away. Seems like the browser's way of running in the background. Anyway, I get them on my PC, I use Tapatalk on the device, but it puts the dot on my shortcut...

    Android Central Forums Doesn't show all notifications?

    I believe we've figured out that Show All is deceptive, it only shows ALL current notifications. Now that we've established this, and that there is no way to change this behavior. What's next? Are you going to get Tapatalk, where you can get the extended list of notifications you want, or live...

    Question Live notifications

    I wouldn't say it's stupid but a little more detail might net you more answers. Don't forget you know what's going on and all we're getting is a picture of your notification shade. Let's start with a few questions. What device is this? Is it that you do not want your messages displayed in...

    Text messages randomly disappearing

    After seeing your screenshots it reminded me of Telegram where if you delete a message on your end you have the option to delete them on the receiver's end as well. So I asked Google if it were possible to delete messages remotely and this turned up in the search. Google Messages is now...

    Android Central Forums Doesn't show all notifications?

    If you want to look back farther than what the website shows, you should use Tapatalk. I don't know why the site only shows one page of alerts. If you look at the other tabs, it seems that you can look back forever to see all of the thanks and reactions you got and under Your Profile you can...
