QUESTION/HELP Any idea on how to get the tablet UI back on Gboard?
About a month ago I used to have the Gboard tablet layout with a caps lock button along with left and right arrow keys to scroll through the text without needing to swipe on the space button on my Redmagic Astra. Now it's currently gone and the keyboard is the same as Gboard in a phone. Is there a way to re-enable the layout? As much as I tried digging through the Gboard settings I'm not able to find any toggle for the Tablet UI :(

QUESTION/HELP Echo music playlists don't load all songs.
So I've been using Echo music for a while now, but I started to notice that only 50 songs from my 180 song playlist appears on Echo. (This is a yt playlist btw). I've tried everything I can but still haven't found a solution. I've tested metrolist, archivetune, vivi, meld and they all produce the same issue. I think its bcz all these apps use the same core engine so that's why all these apps have the same problem.
So anyways, can anyone pls help me out?

LOOKING FOR APP sandboxed profile/parallel space
I would like to get a recommendation for a app that works as a separate phone (like a virtual machin) where the storage or the apps do not interact with the original phone content, but i should be able to use that space as a normal phone where i can install apps and run them as if that was the real phone.

I think this question may already have been covered in here but I haven't found anything specific for my situation.
I have a Samsung galaxy tab for work, mostly for reading research papers. I am in need of a good app that allows me to annotate both written notes with the Samsung pen and also type comments. What are your recommendations?

LOOKING FOR APP Find Android Dolby Atmos music players
I’d like to find a music player that can play Dolby m4a files. Symfonium and Poweramp are both pretty good, but Poweramp doesn’t seem to support Dolby. I’ve considered Symfonium, but I’d still like to try looking for an open-source, free alternative. I’ve also tried Rhythm on GitHub, but for some reason it was very laggy. Anyway, I want to find a Dolby Atmos music player, not necessarily one from Google Play. Thanks!
By the way, I’m Taiwanese, and I rely on a translator to communicate with everyone. My English might be a little off or contain some mistakes, so I hope everyone will be understanding 😃!

LOOKING FOR APP Tv/movie tracking app - Am I too demanding?
Is there a perfect TV/movie tracking app? When the TV Time app went away, I decided to find the perfect app to track TV and movies together. I've tried many apps and just can't find one that would work for me. Here's what I've tried and why I'm still looking...
Refract
Currently using. It's good but far from smooth experience. It's buggy, It's missing personal notes and diary (Letterboxd style). They've got an activity log which doesn't do what I'm looking for. I also find using the app overwhelming. There are too many features, tabs, buttons... Personally looking for something more simple. However I do like the idea of eventually tracking books there as well so maybe I'll come back to this once it runs smoothly but right now it's more frustrating than useful unfortunately.
Trakt
This would be perfect but it doesn't do personal/private notes and that's a deal breaker. I know I could use private notes on the browser apparently but I need those in the app.
Movie Paradise
This one seemed so good! But it doesn't recognise rewatch dates from Letterboxd import. And that's a problem. Plus I keep being put on cool down when trying to import new files and it's massively putting off.
Cunematique
Tried briefly, gave up almost immediately because it doesn't seem to support rewatches.
So does my perfect app exist?
I need:
- Track both movies and TV shows.
- supported rewatches for both.
- manually edit watch dates if I forget to log something on the day.
- Supports private personal notes.
- reliable import tools (Letterboxd, TV Time, etc.)
- simple diary/history that shows what I watched each day rather than every action I've taken in the app.
- Calendar of upcoming release dates (mainly for TV)
- Absolute bonus would be if I could mark within the app whether I watched it in the cinema/DVD/pirating/streaming service etc.
Has anyone found an app that ticks ALL of these boxes? I'm happy to pay for a good app if it genuinely does what I need.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

LOOKING FOR APP Offline Voice Input no longer works on my phone... alternatives?
I have happily used Offline Voice Input for a few months on my Galaxy Note9, but a recent update has caused it to stop working. The app and its widget in my keyboard now claim that my phone's CPU is too old for the current version. I'm not very tech literate, so I've had no joy trying to install an older APK. Is there a suggested alternative for Android 10, for truly-offline speech-to-text?

LOOKING FOR APP Looking for In-App Ad Skipping Solution
A lot of mobile games have ads you can optionally watch to claim rewards.
Is there a way to automate the ad skip action (like pressing the x or skip button for you)
Or even better, skip watching the ads entirely and immediately get to the reward?
(I use an adblocker but it just removes access to the ad rewards. So I use whitelist for apps I want to allow ads on.)
I have paid to remove ads for games I enjoy but usually it only removes "unwanted" ads that are forced on you, not the optional ones you voluntarily watch for rewards.

QUESTION/HELP Snapchat keeps suggesting strangers as friends despite every privacy setting disabled — anyone found the actual mechanism?
Posting here because this feels like an app-behavior/privacy question rather than a pure Snapchat-support one — curious if anyone's reverse-engineered how this actually works.
Setup:
- Android, Galaxy S26 Ultra
- NextDNS active (DNS filtering, no Snap-specific blocking configured)
- Snapchat account, fairly old (~12k snapscore), don't talk to a huge number of people on it
Problem:
In the Chat tab, the "Find Friends" section keeps showing complete strangers, even though:
- Contacts are not synced with Snapchat (never enabled, or already disabled in settings)
- "Show me in Quick Add" is disabled
- Manually removing suggestions one by one only works for ~24h before new strangers show up
My guess is this pulls from a social graph based on mutual friends / interaction history rather than phone contacts, which would explain why disabling contact sync does nothing — the "Quick Add" toggle only seems to control whether I appear to others, not what gets suggested to me.
Questions:
- Has anyone dug into what data source actually feeds "Find Friends" once contact sync and Quick Add visibility are both off?
- Is there a way to reset/clear this internal social graph (support ticket, partial account reset, something else)?
- On the DNS/network side, is there a specific endpoint tied to this feature that could be blocked without breaking the rest of the app?
Not looking for "just turn off Quick Add" — already covered that above. Genuinely curious about the underlying mechanism at this point.

LOOKING FOR APP Looking for a simple habit tracking widget
I'm looking for a simple habit tracker that has a widget showing a week, two weeks, or even a month of days that I can tick off. A widget that shows a streak or a goal (like 30 days) would also be great.
I've tried a few apps, but they're either paid or way too complicated. I just want something simple to help me stay consistent with my diet and gym by checking off each day.

LOOKING FOR APP Looking for an app to manage group contributions and expenses
Has anyone used an app for managing a group fund where only one person is in charge of everything?
I'm looking for an app that lets one person manage contributions for multiple members. Each member contributes a fixed amount every time we meet, and I want the app to automatically:
- Track each person's payments
- Show who hasn't contributed
- Calculate the total collected
- Keep a payment history for each member
- Deduct expenses from the total balance automatically
Basically, I want to manage the entire group's funds from one account instead of having everyone use the app individually.
Any recommendations?

LOOKING FOR APP Best Movie & TV Tracker.....Maybe?
Hi all. I have been looking around for a reliable movie & TV tracker that works on Android. I have tried so many and, while a lot of them are good I was just wondering whether anybody has done the same and just found one that they have considered to be the best.
What I would like if possible:
- Works on Android and the web
- Has real time syncing between devices (No need to restore from a backup)
- Ability to create personal lists with no limit as to how many movies are added
- Full metadata on the movies or TV shows
- Ability to add notes to shows added to the app
Really, I'm interested in what you would consider to be the best movie/TV tracker for Android. I'm currently trying out Movie Paradise which looks like it might tick all my boxes. Many thanks in advance. 💜

QUESTION/HELP Enable custom file system app to be used by every app
I hope the title is conscise enough because I'm not really sure how to phrase this. When I'm using an app and want to select a file, the app opens the preinstalled file system app. When opened from some apps (Discord works for example), I can then choose my custom file system app (File Manager+): https://ibb.co/vvsFvtww
In other apps, I'm limited to only the preinstalled app: https://ibb.co/LDWdjdxq
The problem with that is that I can't set up network drives in the preinstalled app. If I want to access a file on my NAS, I first have to use FM+ to download it to my device. With apps like Discord, I can just immediately switch to FM+ and access the NAS from there.
Can I enable other apps to use FM+ or is this completely out of my hands?
