I had a Huawei phone which had a fingerprint reader at the bottom and a friend of mine had a phone with a fingerprint reader at the side of the phone....

I’ve mostly just relied on Google Photos, and I really like its features. However, I have always been deathly afraid of losing access to my Google photos account and losing all of those, so I need a better way to actually back up my photos. Right now all I do is do a Google Takeout every so often, but that’s inefficient as...

A few months ago I dropped my phone (Samsung Galaxy A70) and the screen broke. Got a new phone, problem solved. But there is some data on it that I forgot to include in my backups. Very small files but important for achive purposes....

Hi, I’m wanting to set up app locking on my Pixel 4a with only a physical device to unlock them. Preferably something keychain-able....

I know it’s very specific, lol. But my Samsung S8 is basically just a portabel 4G modem for me now. Since the screen is cracked and I don’t want to spend money on that old phone. I usually access the phone to scrcpy, it works but since the screen is unuseable, I can no longer give adb access to another devices....

80% of the articles in my discover feed are so obviously clickbait i feel like I’m back on 2010 Facebook… Like “Scientists worked on a new beverage for 10 years, what they discovered will shock you” or things like “These three daily exercise will get you mean in one week”. It’s so obvious and low quality, does...

I’m running Calyx OS (which for my device is on Android 13 at the moment). I would like to have better control over which Bluetooth-connections my phones attempts to connect to when enabled and which it does not. Right now, it seems to try to connect to whatever it was connected to last, even though it is no where near me. I...

I know Google changed it to 3 columns in landscape a few months ago, and it’s better this way. But did they also change it from 2 to 1 in portrait? And I just didn’t notice until recently. It’s so stupid looking this way. Any way to change the column number?

I really don’t like the file picker now - when sharing images or anything else, it shows inconsistent and incomplete lists of folders, and although I can then choose to go to Browse and pick that way, I’d rather just have that by default. Anyone know if it’s possible?

Two years ago, a feature was added to Android 12 where the previous audio source would fade out when a different source starts playing (e.g. you start a YouTube video while music is playing)....
