    moto g stylus 5g 2023 battery issues

    You can look in developer options and check Running services to se what is running so hard. You can also go into Battery via Settings and see what is using so much power. Depending upon what you find in those places will dictate how you deal with it.

    Help How safe are Uptodown and ApkPure?

    Personally, I agree with his views. There is nothing new. Virtually everything that is considered 'new' has been done before. Some 'kid' comes along and thinks he has made something better by making it out of plastic instead of steel, or overcomplicates something simple and thinks that is an...

    E-Bikes

    There are some for sale seasonally at some of the local car dealorships. The ones there are no joke, costing thousands of dollars. They are about as fast as a small moped, can be pedaled, and would be great for a short commute if it were not for all the dumbass pick-up 'trucks' around here.

    InviZible Pro

    As a follow up, I have been continuously used InviZible Pro on my carry device. It is great. I really only use the firewall, DNSCRYPT, and Purple I2P. My other devices are all using NoRoot Firewall.

    Help NoRoot Firewall

    Actually, it seems that these type apps can block internet for system apps so long as certain changes are made in the devices VPN settings- such as "block all connections without VPN" or the like.

    Video editor apps

    Personally I love YouCut. The free version has plenty of options, the UI is friendly, and it has no watermark on the finished product. There is a bit of a learning curve that I would be glad to help with. In addition, the only ads with the app come just before you give the go ahead to save the...

    Phone Snobbery?

    I remember doing it every morning. I also remember what things were like then as opposed to how they are now. Now, my family has no pride of nation - much like the people that are running our nation into the ground. My father wants to bitch about the prices of everything, and I get to give a...

    de-Googled phones

    I would love a one handed phone, but my hands are small and my vision sucks so bad that i wouldnt be able to read the screen. And remember when phones were so small that we lost them constantly?

    Pop-up, ultra-annoying, video ads?

    I use Midori browser with the built in ad-block. I set the home page to my link for AF, and allow cookies. No ads, no logging in.

    de-Googled phones

    I can understand the size of a device being an issue. I gave up putting a phone in my pants pocket long ago. I use a case from Nite-Ize and put my phone in my jacket pocket. Summer time, I use the belt clip. It works with or without a belt.

    WHY?!?

    She is very hard to get along with. Example: handrail exists. handrail gets painted white. complaints about fingerprints on handrail. smart remarks about how sometimes the name of something might give a clue as to what color something shouldnt be, and that fingerprints are likely to be on...

    WHY?!?

    I too prefer tangible media, but the media wears out over time and takes up space. Not to mention that the vast majority of the various DVD players and VCRs that were produced toward the end of their reign were absolute junk. The first DVD player I had lasted for years. I clearly remember the...

    WHY?!?

    OK, I said that I would give up more information after I had the internet sevice for a while. I have to eat some crow here, because I cannot believe which carrier I am using at my mom's house- T-Mobile. Yes, I know. I have bitched and moaned about how their service sucks where I live, and it...

    AF: New Forum Organization (FEEDBACK)

    I am reluctant to change, but this is your site, and so your right. Anyway, my biggest issue is that while I am typing what I am typing will eventually move down below the keyboard, forcing me to manually swipe upwards if I want to see what I am typing. I have tried changing the size of the...

    Casting is a pipedream

    So here we go again. I hate tv's, and really am sick of messing with any of them. I recently obtained a tv from a bar that was upgrading their set-up. Most bars in town here use Vizio equipment, so I assumed that was going to be the brand. SOB, it turned out to be an LG. Or turded out, I...

    Casting is a pipedream

    So, I actually (finally) got it to 'work' - sort of, and sometimes. And the quality is pretty dismal. Like worn-out VHS tape dismal. Then to boot, my mother insisted that a soundbar be connected to the tv as well. My only experience with soundbars is tgat they suck, and I know from experience...

    Screen record TV from phone using smart view

    The answer to this question as it is asked is to use a screen recorder app on the phone. (The question seems to me to be asked 'backwards', but it is what it is.) Start the screen reording app, then cast as normal. Note: Generally these screen recorder apps use the internal speaker as a sound...

    Help How safe are Uptodown and ApkPure?

    ApkPure does, called XAPK Installer. It is from the devs at ApkPure. I use it becuse it works with xapks from anywhere. The Uptodown app has one built it for their apps.

    Casting is a pipedream

    I give up. If casting is possible (I am not convinced that it is) then it is beyond me. After installing a myriad of worthless apps with bogus claims, and never being able to cast anything, I am turning off the tv and watching movies on my sorry ass phone again. Thanks for nothing, bullshit...

    WHY?!?

    It seems impossible. I cannot connect the internet to anything but my phone. I have not watched anything on a real television in years, other than an occasional DVD somewhere where someone still has one of those. I recently got internet hooked up at my mother's house, and it is great...

    Making Copies Of SMS

    I cannot remember where, but if I am right there have been at some time or another questions about how to copy SMS (text messages). Whether it is for copying or transfering to another device, I have found that Simple Messages (a Simple Mobile Tools app) allows for texts to be copied. Just...

    New Device In Collection: TCL A3

    My workmate needed a cheap phone, so off to Wal-Mart we went. Long story short, after I helped him set up some things on it I decided to get one for myself- just for gaming. The specs are a bit better than what I have had before, with 3GB RAM and 32 GB internal. An SD card slot allows upto...

    What 'adult beverage' are you enjoying RIGHT NOW?

    I love black liquorice. So, I spent way too much money and bought a bottle of absinthe. It is 138°, and downright delicious. I like it so well in fact, that I drink it (small sips at a time) straight- without the sugar or water. Soooooooooo good.
