    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

    I downloaded a nice app for Android to record phone calls: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smsrobot.callu I am using Google Pixel 6 with the latest updates. The app appears to work and produces a recorded call in the call list after I turn on recording during the call. But...

    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.

    Cheapest Used Phone With Great Camera

    I am dead set on "cheap". If Amazon has something new that has great quality at a low price, and it can run Android applications, then great.

    Cheapest Used Phone With Great Camera

    I want an Internet-connected camera with the best quality at the lowest price. I do NOT want to connect the camera to a mobile network. I will attach it to the Internet through a local WAN. My actual use case for this will be doing time lapse photos of various parts of my yard, trying to...

    Disappearing Contacts in Google Contacts

    I am also confused. If the contacts had permanently disappeared, I would say either I accidentally deleted them or I am hacked. But for the contacts to "disappear" and then "reappear" looks to me more like Google's back end has a reliability issue.

    Disappearing Contacts in Google Contacts

    Now the contacts that had disappeared yesterday suddenly re-appear today. What is going on here? It looks like Google is periodically corrupting its view of my contacts.

    Is There Any Application to Periodically and Automatically Save Off Contacts to a Restore File?

    I am using Google Contacts on a Google Pixel 6. Is there any way for me to periodically archive my Google Contacts list to a file AUTOMATICALLY? Is there any tool that would let me selectively re-import individual entries in the saved copy of the file? The latter is very important as I...

    Disappearing Contacts in Google Contacts

    "Restore contacts" says there is "Nothing to restore". When I go to Google Contacts sync settings, local sync device contacts is off. But that probably should be off because you don't want Whatsapp and Telegram and other applications that maintain social contacts ending up in your global...

    Disappearing Contacts in Google Contacts

    Is there a sync setting on the phone side? I know that account syncs on the computer that runs the same account.

    Disappearing Contacts in Google Contacts

    I have a number of contacts stored in Google Contacts that I use from the phone app on a Google Pixel 6 phone. Lately I am noticing that these contacts disappear if I have not used them for a while (about one year). Can someone explain why that happens? Is Google sending those into an...

    How to Change Song Played by Android 13 Clock App Timer?

    I am using Google Pixel 6 with T-Mobile. On your App, do you find "Select Sound" in the Alarms section of Settings? I included an image of my Alarms section in my reply to the other users's message here.
