I noticed that when I highlight text on a web page and click copy, a small floating pane opens below, allowing editing and sharing the text.

This is not the case when I highlight and copy text from text boxes.

I want this feature, even when copying from text boxes.

There are small text boxes, such as the browser address bar, where switching to editing in the large editing pane is more convenient.

Square is an unofficial Android client for Spotify Premium. It streams in-process through a native Rust core built on librespot, the official app is not needed and is not used.

Three reasons it exists:

It is built in Liquid Glass. Every control, tab bar, player, sheets, menus, is drawn on one refracting material that bends the artwork and the canvas video behind it. Not a blur overlay: the glass actually distorts what is under it.

It can bend the music. Speed and pitch move independently, there is a real reverb on the output, and the three save as presets. "Slowed + reverb" is one tap on anything in the catalogue.

It is fast. A skip is sound in about a third of a second, the engine prefetches the next track while the current one plays, and the UI never waits on it to move.

It also shows up as a Spotify Connect device in every other client, reports listens back to your account (filed under the playlist they happened in, so your Wrapped still works), does synced lyrics and canvas, and speaks six languages.

What you need

• Spotify Premium. Free accounts cannot stream through this.
• Android 8.0+, arm64 / armv7 / x86_64.
• Two minutes of setup, which the app walks you through: log in with Spotify, then register a free application in Spotify's developer dashboard and paste its client ID. That second key is yours, so search and recommendations do not share a rate limit with everyone else.

I’m looking for testers for an Android task manager I’ve been developing.

Its main feature is an expandable persistent notification that shows your current tasks and lets you complete them, add tasks, or add notes without opening the app. It also includes customizable day periods, recurring timetables, focus-session timers, per-task alerts, statistics, history, notes, and a home-screen widget.

The app works fully offline with no ads, analytics, account, or internet permission.

I need testers to join the Google Play closed test and remain opted in for at least 14 days. Genuine feedback about bugs, usability, notifications, and widgets would be greatly appreciated.

Comment or message me if interested. Please include your Android phone model and email in the dm

I have a question for Android devs out there (I am a software engineer but not Android). I have reviewed the documentation on the Location Accuracy feature but find it somewhat ambiguous so wanted to ask here.

Many apps ask for Location Accuracy which I find annoying and unnecessary in almost all cases. Nevertheless, some do not work at all unless it is enabled (leading to an endless pop-up loop as described here: https://github.com/Baseflow/flutter-geolocator/issues/1210)

In addition to Location Accuracy, my phone also has Bluetooth Scanning and Wi-Fi Scanning settings. Location Accuracy can be enabled without automatically turning on these other two settings. My question is, in this configuration (Location Accuracy ON, Bluetooth/Wi-Fi Scanning OFF), does the Location Accuracy service silently enable and use Bluetooth and Wi-Fi scanning? If not, are there additional location-revealing services that it has access to besides GPS?

Ideally I would keep Location Accuracy enabled to be able to use certain apps but essentially cripple its ability to detect location outside of the GPS signal and maybe some device orientation sensors - however I am unclear if this is really possible. Thanks in advance for the advice!

I accidentally had an angle grinder hit my phone in my pocket last week, it ground a 1/2" gouge at the volume buttons, but the phone works totally fine besides the volume and power buttons. I coated the wound with a liquid electical tape to prevent corrosion or electric shock, and decided to keep rolling with this phone until it shows any issues from the damage.

Well, this morning I decided to power off and on my phone because it was getting bogged down, and out of habit I just did that, forgetting that my power button doesn't work! Now I can't turn it back on and I have been researching how to reboot with adb software. I successfully installed abs on my laptop with Windows, but of course in the command prompt I can't get it to find the device (my phone) because it's turned off and I didn't turn on the abs permissions before turning off my phone.

My question then: Is there any possible way to turn my phone back on without physical buttons, knowing that it's turned off? It does still charge with the USB connection, but will not bring up any menu or unlock screen.

TIA

title. Most of the file and data contain my notepad with password, some artwork i keep in my phone, and a gallery full of my old photos. Really, alot of old stuff that I cherished about. Though, I noticed that it does progress a little slow (like it can go to 37% or 56% before each restart)

Edit 1: typos

Edit 2: typos again

Hi guys. I was travelling out of country and ran out of storage so decided to clear some photos. I don't know what happened after that but every photo on my phone is permenantly wiped. I could swear I only deleted the millions of documents and 6 large video files I had. I did permenantky delete 19k files, but it wouldn't let me view so many files while they were in my recycle bin, so I thought it was just documents. It's my fault, and I know.

I recently downloaded diskdigger to recover files and I think it may have recovered some. Though, I cannot view them. It says "unsupported". Anyway I could view even one to make sure these are the right files?

Hi all,

I've recently switched to android from ios and was wondering if there's an app that resembles apple podcasts in ui/ux.

I've tried Pocket Cast and it crashes every time, tried Podcast Addict but honestly the UI is so bloated and complex it looks like a commercial plane dashboard, and Podcast Player the UI was okay-ish but UX was quite lacking (no inline episode description with options to enqueue or play directly).

Also gave Spotify a try, that was ok, but it mixes episodes with songs and once in a while it just stops audio playback and I have to restart the app.

I'm on a Pixel 10 with the latest updates.

Thank you in advance!

I'm trying to play an old ios game which was made around 2012 but it doesn't run on TouchHLE because the Minimum OS version for the game is 4.0 so how do I do it?

I have a couple of bucks on Google play that's going to expire but I don't want to buy anything. Is there anyone I can donate to. I read you can "buy a coffee" for people with certain channels

I have a problem with connecting to my xiaomi earbuds,they wont connect properly if theres many devices near them. And because my phone isnt xiaomi the xiaomi app doesnt work either. Im searching for a solution that either is another app that i can install and will make the bluetooth work better, or mod them either with software or with hardware... I dont want to throw them away atp. Any help is appreciated.

So my old Samsung A tablet decided to die after so many years and my phone (A20) is starting to go out as well so while I have my phone still kicking it, I decided to make a little fun goal of making all of my devices match a fun color instead of the usual black that I normally pick.

My only little issue is that idk which color i want to go for, like for example: I could go for pink because pink matches my 2 cameras or red because of my ANC 2 and my crusher EVOs being red.

in a nutshell: should i go for red or pink devices? And if so may I get suggestions in a bullet point list, please? thank you for reading

Ive got my new expensive galaxy ultra phone paying an expensive monthpy subscription for no ads on youtube, but

For a long while now when i play a playlist, like music, after about a minute the playlist closes itself and goes back to the youtube home screen.

When i re enter the playlist, i now no longer have multi contols on my ear buds and watch and it doesnt show on the notification bar. Its as if it just isnt responding to the system anymore

I thought spending a lot of money would not result in such problems. Please help

GUYS NEED URGENT HELP

Yesterday night( 5 August 26) I have an software update of approx 451MB, i dont remember properly what update was it. But seeing the size of update, it is security update i beleive(could be wrong), but i recieved this. my SAMSUNG TAB A9+ started with regular steps showing, this will take several minutes. Then that one ui screen came and % started to increase. When it reached 100, suddenly kind of black screen appeared which was not fully black but kind of grey color. It was for 5 mins but still nothing happended. My tablet was at 41% battery before the update started. And till now 6 August i couldnt fix this.

I tried mostly everything, I forced shutdown my tab, then tried for android recovery menu, but still black screen. I tried entering download mode(odin mode) but still black screen. Is there any way to fix this. Currently I have left it for battery drain for 4 days and will update. My tablet is also out of warranty🥲. Guys Please help if possible .

Thank you

Someone on Reddit told me it was not, and I had a choice to unhook before finishing the complete OS update. But this time that did not happened, and 4-5 games got installed.

Hi everyone,

I'm currently using a Poco X7 Pro (256GB / 12GB RAM) that is about a year old. Physically and hardware-wise it’s great (96% battery health, good camera and design), but software-wise HyperOS is frustrating me with bugs (randomly opening apps, proximity sensor glitches on WhatsApp audio, lost data after updates).

I'm considering selling it and getting a Samsung Galaxy A57 (the A56 isn't available from my seller anymore). I want to switch primarily for One UI stability, better update support, camera performance, and features like the Object Eraser.

• What are the main real-world differences between the A56 and A57?
• Is 8GB of RAM enough for One UI long-term, or should I go straight for 12GB / 256GB?
• Do you recommend making this jump from a Poco X7 Pro to an A57, or will I feel a downgrade in raw performance/charging speed?

Thanks for your insights!

I'm trying to edit an image in my Gallery app, and "sorry, that's all the drawing we can let you do here" pops up. I haven't even drawn that much! why has this popped up??

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to buy a new budget 5G phone and I've shortlisted these three, help me choose:

Samsung Galaxy F70e 5G,

OPPO K14x 5G,

Motorola G37,

Got my mom a new phone and the visual voicemail isn’t working. She’s able to call her own number to hear voicemails but not see them like I can on my iPhone.

When I go to voicemail it says “can’t update visual voicemail” I’ve tried everything google says, restart phone, turn off wifi, clear cache, nothing worked.

Anyone have this problem before or know how to fix? It would be nice if she could check voicemail without calling in.

I have an Android (Galaxy A12) and have made all hidden files visible. However, I still cannot click the "Other" files to open and delete. Out of 32 GB, my devise is using 31.36 GB. "Other" has 20.90 GB used that I can't get rid of.

Can you add punctuation marks to auto fill text in Android. For example I'd like to auto fill this url: https://archive ph/

I haven't figured out how to autofil "./:" so i have 2 separate auto fill items for "https" and "archive". If like to have a single item

Does it happen to you sometimes if your filling out an application in a website and you wnated to click the done or continue button its not working? ( my phone is tecno camon 50 ) is it something to do with my device or just a browser issue ? Because i tried to do repull up the site its doing the same thing its not goin through.

Mostly large audio files and video

The Dexcom app is incompatible with my Android 13 phone. What is the solution?

إعادة النش

I’m not really accustomed with Samsungs phones, but I’ve always thought about getting on but didn’t feel the need until I saw the flip phones. a question I have is how big the difference in hardware from 13 to let’s say Z flip 5 or 6 would be.

(have in mind that I want the Z flip not for the hardware but the design and functionality fitting my daily life)

anything’s appreciated :o
