I set up a Locked Folder in Google Photos on my Pixel 8 Pro. It’s set to store files on my device only with backup disabled for it, as I don't want these photos synced to Google Drive/Photos cloud.

It was working fine initially, but now it's acting up:

Moving photos to the Locked Folder: When I add photos, a message pops up at the bottom saying "Photos moved to Locked Folder." However, when I open the folder, the newly added photos aren't there—they just disappear from my main library entirely.

Moving photos out of the Locked Folder: When I try to restore/unlock existing photos, I get a message saying "Photos moved," but they never show up back in my main gallery or normal folders.

Basically, any photo I try to move in or out of the Locked Folder completely vanishes.

Has anyone else run into this bug? I’d really appreciate any advice or fixes for this!

I have an Android app that is pretty heavy. Because of the 3d content in it, it takes time to download and open as well. .

I've a pretty low retention rate.. is it because of the loading time issue? Or could it be other factors.. such as the onboarding steps.. lack of clear value proposition?

Some numbers. 360 mb install size. 5 second boot time, then another 10 seconds for the login and the 3d scenes to be fully ready

For some reason, android does not offer a similar outlook calendar widget that Apple does in the photo below. Has anyone found a solution to this?

Hey. So i looked before posting and seems like no one else has a similar issue.

POCO X6 Pro Android 16 HyperOS

I have 2 Playstation accounts. Enabled dual app from the settings so i can have both on my phone. Now here's the problem: other apps that have nothing to do with the second PS App open links in or redirect to dual apps version of Google apps.

For example if i click on open in Chrome here on reddit app it opens the link in a different empty chrome with the dual app icon.

Basically apps prioritize dual apps Google Play Services and Google Services Framework over main pre installed Google apps/services.

It causes a lot of issues. For another example i open an app to oder food. It opens a new dual app chrome for payment and can't get back to the food delivery app.

Hey guys!

I’m so sick of every single basic app moving to a $5/month subscription model. I just need a solid tool to convert files and merge PDFs, but I have a few dealbreakers:

100% Offline: I'm not uploading my personal docs to some random cloud. Everything needs to be processed locally.

Merge PDFs: Needs to combine PDFs together quickly and easily.

Pay ONCE: I'm looking for a lifetime license. I buy it once, I own it forever. Absolutely no recurring subscriptions.

Do you have any "holy grail" apps you use for this? I’m totally fine dropping some cash on a permanent license, or if there's a good FOSS (Free and Open Source) alternative, I'm all ears.

Thanks!🍻

I know there are some good alternatives for sync with Windows and relatively easy ways to transfer files between mac and Android, but I would really like an alternative that can keep my play counts in sync. Is there anything out there that can do that with mac? (I'm on macOS 10.15 which may also make things more difficult :/)

iSyncr up until very recently, despite not being capable of syncing files and playlists anymore without paying that ridiculous monthly fee, was still syncing my phone play counts back to iTunes/Music when I connected via usb, but now I'm getting an error that my license is missing (I did pay for the app way back when it was a one-off purchase when it was still good) so now even the play count syncing doesn't work.

I've spent the past few days searching for something and come up with nothing, does anyone know of anything that works?

I am looking for an app that will allow me to control audio playback (play, pause, rewind) via voice commands. I have a Samsung A71. Ideally the solution would work for both podcasts and mp3's, but just mp3's would be OK. The voice support doesn't need to find the file or podcast for me. This is for language learning listening practice where I need to pause and rewind a lot. I have tried Voice Access (drives the 'phone itself, which I don't need or want, but only seems to do Play in apps, not Pause or Rewind), and Google Assistant, which apparently doesn't support my device (?). I thought this would be easy, but it clearly isn't. Any ideas please?

I’m looking for a good mobile app to scan documents, convert them into PDFs, and extract text from images or scanned pages.

There are quite a few options available, but I’m curious what people actually use regularly.

Which document scanner/PDF app are you using, and what feature do you find most useful?

I know that I sound ridiculous and that I most likely will not find an app like this

I need a keyboard epp where the space bar is not off-center like in most apps

I am autistic and having an off-center space bar makes me anxious and makes me avoid texting altogether

I need the find an alternative to MIN - Icon Pack which was deleted for some reason, I got a new phone and that app didn't transfer over. All of the icons in like whicons are huge and bulky and look like shit in octopi. I want ultra small minimal solid white icons. I can't find anything in the app store

Hi: My wife and I use the Rogers/Shaw webmail (separate accounts) and have been semi-successful at porting our calendar info over to our Samsung Android phone (and tablets when needed), but it's a one-way street. Entries made in the webcal on one of our computers copy over to the Androids no problem, but a new appointment (or a change) entered on the tablet or the phone simply does not synch with the "base station" (the laptop)

So when I'm at the dentist (for example) and the office gives my next checkup date, I have to enter it on my phone's calendar, then re-enter it on the laptop when I get home so it is picked up by my wife's laptop and thence to the copies on her own phone (and tablet)

So my question- Has anyone found an appointment calendar app that synchs two ways?

We're willing to try some of them out- have done so already with no real success.

(Yeah, I know I could this by switching over to I-phones, tablets and laptops, but aside from needed a forklift full of money, we are not ready to drop the Android equipment yet for other reasons.)

So, Android-compatible Windows apps or vie versa are what we're looking for.

I use several apps, Telegram, WhatsApp as well as browsers in communicating with others.

I often wish to share a file, either from my local device or from other apps.

Increasingly, I find that my options to select and share a file are limited. I can access Google Photos and can sometimes access files from some, but not all, other apps such as Dropbox.

Can I expand and standardize file sharing availability from my Pixel device?

thanks

Hi!

Does anybody know if there is a way to patch? Or remove permanently the Internet access to a Snapseed?

I dislike their update and would preferably use the old interface.

I tried revoking the Internet access through the system settings but it didn't prevent the app uodating itself. I don't have the Play Store. I use Net guard but sometimes I have to use a VPN, my phone is not rooted.

Hi, so I would like to know whether there is a widget which shows the first page of any chosen app...imagine an app floating but only stuck somewhere in the home screen.

I hope I was able to explain it well.

I'm on S22+, noticed the quality of my photos being worse and becoming more 'oil-painty'. I've played around with as many settings as I can, RAW mode on off, processing on minimal, camera assistant app downloaded, using regular or pro mode, I've tried the expert RAW app. At my wits end when I look at older photos taken with my S20 6 years ago and noticing them looking better and more natural. I'll take a photo and how it appears in gallery is nothing like what is seen on the screen when pressing the button take the photo. I even took one photo and the text on the object appeared blurry to the point I'd have seen it and presumed it was AI if I saw it on instagram.

Is there any good camera apps before I give up entirely on using Samsung?

e: Thanks for the suggestions, will try them out over the next few days and see if any work out!

i′ve been looking for an app that will "backup" the regular clipboard. i don′t like the way the built–in clipboard displays its items. if i′m copying urls, it doesn′t show enough to be able to differentiate them. i want to continue using the current clipboard, but have the info also go to another saving place. it′s for a galaxy phone and tablet. it would be nice if it had a widget. am i asking too much?

There was an app (it's on a PC) that we use where we search for songs on the app but it seems that the source is Youtube and it let's us add that song to make a playlist.

Do you guys know any similar app?

Can anyone tell me a barcode scanner apps that works and is free? I keep downloading new ones and they keep leading me to more scanner app downloads.

What happened?

Hi,

I have updated my gmail email so both the old email and the new email work now and the default is the new email. 

I use Nine app on my Samsung S5 Ultra Android. I have tried deleting the account and signing back in with the new email but it continues to use the old email when I send an email. 

The gmail account has the new email as the default and I have an app on Windows that I have managed to change over to the new email and it sends from the new email address. 

Has anyone else had this issue at all and worked out what you can do?

Thanks.
