Hey everyone, im always caught up trying to help old people with their phone. I feel like UI are designed to be unusable for logical people or those unfamiliar with the main function of everything being so discrete in view its effectively hidden or for first time users is represented By a sometimes unstandardized iconography. Anyway... can you help me out. One of the main issues is how every app opens to what you were doing last time pressing the icon. 90% of the time this is infuriating and gets older people lost. They usually have a different reason each time to use any app or access any feature, so going back to where they were last time makes the process of using their phone always different and unpredictable if they cant remember the fuk.. so every button press effectively dumps them somewhere different. They dont have a picture of order in their mind like me of what they will find a step back as the are often just stumbling forward. So the back button is confusing in general and home takes them right out and any app takes them right back to 4 steps ahead. Is there an over riding setting to make every app, even settings, messages anything and everything... when pressing the icon it starts fresh step 1. Probably better on RAM too. It has to exist or a front end dev needs stranglature. THANKS!
Elder people should use a phone with /e/OS pre-installed.

A picture is worth a thousand words... So they say. But this picture is missing one word - the name of the software. Suspects are: Qmenu, SPB pocket plus, Phonealarm, WM native behaviour. If anyone knows this, please share, I'm having weird battery problems (like shutdown on 30% and then after powering up, sitting on 1% for over an hour with active usage). I'd like to hunt this bug down and make a kill. Screenshot was made with auto-capture utility, because it only shows right before shutdown, so this bugger was hard to catch. Even now bottom of the image is missing, probably due to write operation being interrupted by shutdown. You can see behind the image in question there is PhonEx being meddled with.
Thanks.
The screenshot:

I have no idea what it is (not even sure what I'm supposed to be looking at), but get a task manager like dotfred's or xtask and look up all the open windows. You should be able to track it down that way, and remove whatever's opening it up.
Well, thanks for the advice, but if You read carefully what I wrote, then You could imagine that it's really hard to pull that off in 2-3 seconds while the device is shutting down. Of course, if there would be a system snapshot kind of program - which would let me take a snapshot or log of all open windows in every 1-2 seconds - then it would be awesome, but I am not aware that the utilities You mentioned are able to accomplish that.
I just upgraded to Windoze 7. I was using xp since it came out. Very few issues I couldnt figure out. I even got proficient at killing viruses when limelite was still the defacto way to download. I am usually pretty decent at figuring out stuff, like granting permissions and stuff, but google has let me down this time (or I am not describing it right).
I keep most of my media on a hard drive, and then distribute it from there.
However since switching to w7, each and every time I go into the drive it starts "compiling" or "indexing". I think thats what its called. I prefer to keep the media on the external drive organized so that the newest file is at the end of the list. It works for me, then I can see other files and go back or forward to find the one I need. I am a visual based learner. All told theres about 1500 various kinds of files, and 15 folders.
So when I click on drive k: and it opens in a browser window, the address bar starts showing its progress in its compiling or indexing. Fine, it takes about 30 seconds (its an older Maxtor 200gb drive thats about 90% full). If it did it once every time I turn the comp on and go into it, it would be fine, but.....its each and every time I access it, even if its going in , then into a sub folder then back out of the sub folder, in side of 10 seconds. I am starting to waste hours each week waiting for it to find and organize it.
WTHeck is the setting to get it to "memorize" and keep it organized oldest to newest?
Cheers
Alan
try "disable indexing" in drive properties

Hi guys this is my very first topic. I have been using this phone for about 6 months and this problem started a few days ago and it's being annoying. Hopefully someone here would know what can I do.
The screen sometimes gets stuck just like freezing and doesn't respond to any kind of touch well the only touch working is if I hold the home button and it only vibrates. The way that it gets back to normal is to press the lock button and unlock the phone again, sometimes it takes a while to unlock it is like it's not responding, after a few attempts it gets back to normal... since yesterday this problem is more frequent so I am here hoping that some kind wisdom person could help me. And the other thing is that when it's stuck the screen change colours like multicolor it could be the entire screen or just part of it. Here some pictures of how it looks I don't know if it's firmware or hardware

You know, to me it sounds like there are an app, or a few that are not behaving when loaded, and clogging the CPU. As you can, take a look at the apps you are using, and see if you can whittle down the ones, and or uninstall some that may seem the culprit.
If you have a backup, perhaps restore to an earlier time when the phone was operating smoothly, and slowly . . . slowly over days or a few weeks, restore an app or two, and see where it becomes poorly functioning again.
Also, look in settings/Battery etc and see what apps are running when the unresponsiveness occurs again. Write those apps down, and as time goes for a few days/week, see what the common denominator apps show up.
Backups are a wonderful thing.
Hi everyone!
First of all, I'd like to apologize in case I'm not posting this in the correct section of the forum.
That being said, let's get into this annoying problem I'm facing:
Recently mi s7 edge got the Oreo update and I decided to upgrade (shouldn't have done it) and here is when the issue started...
The way I like Whatsapp's notifications is the fallowing: no sound, no vibration and no pop up on screen.
The only thing I want is this: A simple icon on the status bar that indicates me every time I have a message

I don't want anything else, but what is above!
I have found no configuration to get whatsapp's notificacion the way I want it to be. On android 7.x it was as easy as this:
1: open notification bar
2: keep pressing any whatsapp notification for 2 second and select "importante level 3".
that was it!
Android 8 is way too different... I had to make something up; this is what I do to get it adjusted to the way I like:
importance level: "make sound" (so that it doesn't pop up on screen)
sound: silence (so that it doesn't make any sound)
up until that moment everything works fine, perfectly... BUT, after a period of time (I haven't counted it yet) the configuration I had just done goes away; it resets itself... and here is when I get so upset, feeling like I want to smash the phone and desintegrate it once and for all.
this is how it looks like after configuring it in the way I like:
and this is how it turns out:
Please! If you have anything that you think could help me out with this, leave it down below in a comment. No matter what, an app, an idea, whatever... leave it in a comment.
Thank y'all in advance!!
I just got an Xperia 5III and my 5II is in a drawer. I was surprised at how different the operating system was on my new 5III compared to my 5II. There is one change that is negative. With the 5II if I was in an app and got a notification I could pull it down and read it.. With the 5III I can't. I have to return to the Home Page to pull down the notification. Is this just the way it is or did I screw a setting in my installation?
Other than that, I'm enjoying the 5III.

I actually haven't encountered this issue, so I'd suggest to search for a solution in settings menu
Oh, golly, why didn't I think of that? I've looked at everything in settings, even settings that shouldn't be remotely related. That's why I thought I would ask here.
Could you share screenshot(s) of your issue and of what you used to see it in 5II for the same? It's a lil hard to imagine based on this. Additionally, it could also be how Android 12 is setup vs. Android 10/11 in 5II.
If we can indeed see what you are facing, maybe that will help us try to find a solution for it.
I hate this. I'm a constant fiddler and this morning I fiddled with some settings in Google Messages. I was in shower when my reminder, from Google Calendar, came up. I waited till I got out of the shower, went to Google Photos on my 5 III, swiped down, and it worked. I went to my Oxford Dictionary and it worked, too. So, the problem that was irritating me is gone. AND I DON"T KNOW WHY!
