    CallU Application to Record Calls

    The question is what release of Android does this new decision affect? Maybe release 11 or 12 has an older API that is still working?

    CallU Application to Record Calls

    Someday when Google provides the AI for self-driving cars, their lawyers are going to tell them that humans can have accidents and shut off all access to drive the car manually. The world is becoming a police state but run by corporations and corporate lawyers. There is no room for human...

    CallU Application to Record Calls

    In what version of Android did Google implement the final prohibitions? It looks like they took out the main API in Android 6, but a workaround remained until recently. Did they block that workaround in Android 12 or Android 13? If I got an older phone I guess that would be one option...

    CallU Application to Record Calls

    MiX Explorer Unable to Access USB Drive

    Enable OTG was NOT selected, so probably that is it. I will test later, and thanks for the other File Manager recommendation.

    Discussion Community for Google Chrome

    It feels like that functionality has stepped backwards. My "profile" is set to point to an old email I no longer have. If you are going to say it grabs that from the Google profile, I went there and removed that old email so it is no longer connected. After removing it, the profile still...

    Discussion Community for Google Chrome

    Where does Google have its discussion forums for Google Chrome browser? When I look for this in Google search I get nothing but dead ends It used to be easy to find this. I really dislike how dystopian the Internet is becoming. It feels like everything is turning into a useless black...

    MiX Explorer Unable to Access USB Drive

    It appears to me that the problem I am having with MiXplorer is a security issue where MiX cannot access the USB device. In the default "Files" application I can see the mounted USB file system and the folders on that file system. In MiX, I see that there is an attached USB device, and when I...

    Preventing Screenshots From Saving to Cloud?

    On Pixel 6 with latest software it does not have this option. The only thing under Backup is to turn it on or off, no folder selection sliders available.

    MiX Explorer Unable to Access USB Drive

    Yes it is MiXplorer. I am writing to a FAT32 file system on a microSD card mounted through USB-C. That is what I mean by an external USB file system. MiXplorer sees "USB" in the master menu, and when I select that I get a mount point on the internal storage, and the contents of the file are...

    MiX Explorer Unable to Access USB Drive

    I have MiX Explorer installed under Android 13 on a Pixel 6. How do I give it permission to read and write to a USB file system? What are the best file managers currently available for Android?

    Preventing Screenshots From Saving to Cloud?

    I have a Pixel 6 and I find the security model for the Photos application to be confusing. When I take a screenshot this does NOT appear in the default image view when I start Photos. But if I select "Library" then there is a sub-option for Screenshots. Is that being saved into the cloud...

    Any Way to Save Google Authenticator Information to Local Device?

    Like everyone else I have been forced to upgrade Google Authenticator to the new version that Google has connected to cloud accounts. I do not want to put two factor information in the cloud. Is there any way to export the two-factor information on my phone to an SDcard or to a file on my...

    Cheapest Used Phone With Great Camera

    It doesn't but if I am going to bother to order a dedicated camera device, I might as well get the flexibility of other kinds of time lapse, some of which might require better quality cameras.

    Cheapest Used Phone With Great Camera

    Battery is an unknown. Could a good timelapse application put the phone into a low energy mode and then just wake up every 15 minutes? I could supplement the phone battery with a plugged in external battery, and I hope that would give me 24 hours.
