    Help [SOLVED] Simple, ad-free camera app?

    I figured it'd be easier to find an ad-free solution through F-Droid than Google Play. Simple Camera does geotag pictures, and offers the basic UI I was looking for. -- Edit: For some reason, it sets the picture's Orientation tag in EXIF as "Right top" even when holding the phone in landscape...

    Help [SOLVED] Simple, ad-free camera app?

    Hello, The archives didn't return hits so here goes. The app from Google didn't geotag pictures, and I don't like the OpenCamera app I'm using (way too many features for my need, slow to start and take pictures). As for picture quality, the hardware isn't very good anyway, so there's not much...

    Help App to answer calls/messages from unknown/hidden numbers with voice/text message?

    Thanks. I'm currently using a Xiaomi with Android 12 and the Evolution X custom ROM. I don't want anything sophisticated with AI stuff, with the risk of false positives/negatives : If the number has no Caller ID or isn't listed in my Contacts, simply answer the call, play the message I...

    Help [SOLVED] [Evolver 7.9.7/Android 13] Pictures still not geotagged

    Hello, After upgrading to Evolver 7.9.7/Android 13 last night, I noticed that pictures were no longer geotagged. Adding the Camera app to the list of apps authorized to use the Location service, and even rebooting made no difference: There's still no Location item in the app's Settings...

    Help [SOLVED] [Alarm] How to prevent sound?

    Through the general menu, I set the alarm volume down to 0, left the alarm's default audio track (ie. didn't mute), and…Google played it. So, on my phone at least, it seems it does require silencing the audio track within the alarm.

    Help [SOLVED] [Alarm] How to prevent sound?

    Help [SOLVED] [Alarm] How to prevent sound?

    Found it: You must select the audio track, and mute it. I find it odd that setting the phone to mute has no impact on how the alarm behaves.

    Help [SOLVED] [Alarm] How to prevent sound?

    Hello, Without an engineering degree, I can't figure out how to prevent the alarm from playing sounds: I only want the phone to vibrate.

    Help Phone with good NFC performance?

    Hello, As backup for the bank card, I'd like to get an NFC-capable Android smartphone. Ideally, it should be < €/$200 new (I don't mind buying it second-hand, so it could more expensive new), and have a < 5,5" screen — besides the extra weight, I find Xiaomi Redmi Note 5's 6" screen a bit big...
