Remember how Google once left Google Voice abandoned without any updates for 5 years and then suddenly remembered they owned it?

[Yeah. It was weird.](https://blog.google/products/google-voice/ringing-2017-updates-our-google-voice-apps/)

I had used the Voice since it launched in 2009 so I could have a local number where I was attending college until I moved in 2015 across the country. Then all of a sudden, 5 years after it was last updated, Google released an update to the app and have since kept it updated with bug fixes, features, and more. Still surprised it's outlived so many of their other ventures. ...

The bundled non-removable virus that is called Lenovo User Experience

I recently rooted my (old-ish) Lenovo tb2-x30f tablet with official firmware 6.0.1, and set out to uninstall or disable all the unwanted apps that made it so sluggish, but I've hit a snag. I disabled the ones I could and froze the others in Titanium Backup. These were the first to go:

* Lenovo ID

* Market Feedback Agent

* User Experience

So far, so good. Who needs that stuff anyway? Imagine my surprise when Magisk asked me if I wanted to give *User Experience* superuser privileges. Why would...

Gboard Dictation Typing syllables?

Sometimes, when my bad spelling and swipe texting team up to get the best of me, I cannot manage to get a word to appear thus I use the dictation mic to get that word. Well, this morning I did this and said "Aggravate" (yes, chuckle all you want that I couldn't remember if it was aggra- or aggre-) and gboard typed it out as I was saying it! Instead of waiting to type the whole word.

So, to test it, I did it again but said indecision really slowly and it typed out each syllable as I moved their...

Removed features since the Pie update, and the state of Samsung tech support.

I recently contacted Samsung because I noticed my Note 9 was missing a feature that's always been available. Tech support confirmed Pie rolled back the option to disable the proximity sensor during calls (dimming the screen when put up to your ear). Albeit not a very important feature, I can't understand what made them want to remove options after an update. It seems pretty counter productive to roll back options while trying to move forward.

My Galaxy S7 almost burned down my house and Samsung say it's my fault.



Hey guys,

Wanted to share case that had happend to me and see if I can get some advice on what to do.

I am the owner of a Samsung Galaxy S7 phone. To make a long story short, one night I was charging my phone and when I woke up I smelled burnt plastic, the cord has become attached to the phone due to melting and when I forcefully detached it's from my phone I noticed the charging port was completely physically fried. The phone was on when I was charging but it had turned off and when I turn...

Show us what you've done with your phone.

Sorry I don't know how to cross-post. I tried and it didn't work.

I am bored of my current look, I'm hoping to gain some inspiration from the community for a new look, and hope the community has some use for some inspiration as well.

So I'm hoping everyone could provide a image of what they're screen looks like today.

I'm sure everyone else here could definitely learn from the new techniques to improve the looks behind the hardware that have come up since last year.

Adguard is Amazing

I've downloaded the adguard app on my Android phone and I'm amazed at how many ads it blocks! It blocks all the ads from loading and removes the frame! I really like how it can restrict apps from communicating when the phone screen is off. I was surprised to see how much traffic goes to Facebook and other tracking networks.

Useful features:

1. Ad blocking within apps.
Instead of paying for an ad-free version of an app just use adguard.

2. Ad blocking within the browser
It works similarly to ...
