Particularly Word and Excel?

About a week ago, I tried to download one of their games but for some reason, every single game/app they ever released is completely missing from the Google Play Store. I can't even download them through my library. I tried sending them an email but they never responded. Both their social media and their website seem to be...

Hey, what's up. I've been trying to get my phone (oneplus 8) all perfect again, after I recently decided not to use fingerprint security anymore. I now use a password, which feels right, but when I'm just sitting at my desk it feels like overkill to have to retype it so many times when I'm just checking little things. So.. I'm...

You may soon be able to turn animations off.

Recently I got a new phone and immediately had trouble with my notifications coming in on time. Emails, calendar alerts, even alarms were being delayed up to 15 minutes....

Since a few folks seem unaware of this, I'm posting anew for visibility.

I'm at a point in life I get a phone, set it up and live my life....

Basically the question. I use work profile (created with shelter). The stock android launcher supports this personal/work separation. But I want to know whether nothing phone launcher support this feature. I know you can install a third party launcher like lawnchair for this. But with these 3rd party launchers the gesture...

Specifically, ones that aren't chock-full of mobile game enshittification and in-app purchases?...

It's been a while since I was into unlocking and ROMing my devices, but I've got the itch again....

I just met my new neighbor for the first time, and when we exchanged numbers (by me texting her number) my phone (Pixel 8) showed her full name with a tilde in front of it below the phone number. She's not in my contacts. Where did it get that name from?

My apologies if this seems like an advertisement, I am simply a very grateful user of this project who cannot donate at this time but at least wants to share it with others....

so I finally got the motivation to install lineage os to my phone after thinking about it like year. and now that I finally modified this phone I started thinking about ricing this phone a bit. I'm looking for a launcher that isn't too minimalistic and with a decent amount of customization. kinda like kde bit you know... stable....

I have found the translation from camera source feature useful in Google Translate and I use it from time to time. Last night was one such occasion, yet when I attempted to enable camera mode, I received the message shown in the screenshot, "Please install the latest Google app in order to use camera translation". I currently...

I want to install a (or build my own) custom AOSP-based OS on my Samsung Galaxy J3 SM-J337W that has microG instead of the proprietary Google Play Services. Please forgive me if I'm doing something stupid: I'm a complete noob with this....

See title. I've heard that the S23 and S24 have region locking for international SIM/eSIMs, is this true? (ie: SIM refuses to work because of software lock)

I am trying to set up a plan with a smaller carrier, but I have a feeling that since they are not on Google's allowlist (even though I live in Canada), they will not let me use 5G with them. The Pixel watch supported carrier list also makes no sense, because for some reason the new carriers for the watch 2 don't support the...

I live in Canada. My girlfriend is Chinese (also living in Canada), and while we are able to communicate via SMS, her mobile carrier isn't the best, and so there have often been issues for us with regular texting. She expressed a strong preference to use WeChat, at least as a backup option for when texting fails us. While I...

I just found my first phone ever and decided to start it up. I found out the password and decided to factory reset it since I’m planning on selling it. However, ever since I resetted it, it has been stuck on the same “Installing applications” screen (see image). I tried the volume up+power button+home button tactic and...

I'm cross posting my own here, I hope it's allowed. Maybe it will reach someone who has a similar problem....
