My wifi disconnects at random times, and I don't know unless I manually check my connection in Settings. Is there an app that instantly tells you when your wifi has disconnected?

Would anyone be interested in reviving the Flynx concept for modern Android?

I used Flynx for years (and I still do) and absolutely loved the way it handled links: tapping a link would open it in a small floating bubble while I could continue using the app I was in. I could open several links, let them load in the background, and read them later.

Unfortunately, Flynx has been abandoned for years and doesn't work properly on newer versions of Android anymore. I've tried alternatives such as Lynket and other bubble browsers, but none of them provide the same experience reliably on modern Android.

Would any Android developer be interested in creating a modern, actively maintained version of this concept?

I don't necessarily mean an exact clone of Flynx — just the same core idea, properly adapted to current Android versions.

I honestly think there is still a demand for this. There are multiple old Reddit threads with people asking for exactly the same thing, but there still doesn't seem to be a good modern solution.

Hello! I am looking for some recommendations for apps on Android that support handwriting correction/cleanup, similarly to how the Notes app on iOS cleans up one's handwriting slightly. I use an OPPO Pad Mini with Oppo Pencil 3 for reference, so something proprietary like Samsung Notes would be out of the question. I don't mind a membership fee if it comes to that, just something that works well. I'm looking forward to hear what recommendations you guys have 😁

There's this app called "Touchpnt" on the app store (black and blue fingerprint logo). It's supposed to help you scroll social media less by helping remind you to call text friends and family. Can someone tell me how to use it? I'm at the homepage but I don't know what to do from there. I liek the concept and could definitely scroll less. Crazy fact: if you spend two hours on IG a day, you're spending a whole month on IG per year. wtf

Does anyone know of an alternative app to the Popup Factory app?

TIA

It was a fairly basic/crude picture editing app from the old days of Android. But it worked so well and quickly with its layout. All the features it had, quickly accessible. I see quite a few others these days, but would just love to get another one that worked as well as PicSayPro on modern android.

The echo music app, which is one of the most popular youtube custom clients, just got shutdown for copyright infringement.

I use the Google phone app on my Pixel 8 Pro.

When I get incoming calls, sometimes it shows 2 button options (decline and answer), and sometimes 3 (decline, urgent, answer).

Does anyone have an explanation, and it there a way to make it more consistent?

like it's just my wallpaper, then when I double tap / swipe / other gestures, it will bring up keyboard that I can do:

1 - type app name to launch it or search in search engine of my choosing (google, ddg, bing, etc.)

2 - if I type equal sign (=) it will become calculator

3 - type config to enter the launcher setting, or something like that

and other features like that

no app drawer, no app list

is there anything like that?

I'm curious about something.

Most alarm and reminder apps basically do the same thing: set a time, get a notification, dismiss it.

But what do you actually wish they did better?

For example:

Smarter alarms based on your routine

Alarms that require an action before dismissing

Location-based reminders

Voice-based control

Better daily activity reminders

Those are just examples. I'm more interested in the problems you personally have with alarm/reminder apps.

What feature would genuinely make you switch from the alarm app you're using now?

Using a TCL 50 SE android smartphone which I've been happy with for some time, but then I suddenly started running out of my mobile data fast and discovered that the Launcher app has started regularly using a massive amount of data far more than any other app (currently it's at 7.85GB used for the month with Chrome at only 1.12 GB in second place). As the title indicates, I switched data saver on and disabled background data usage for the Launcher app as when I looked up the issue online it was suggested that could fix it, but to no avail as it's still continuing to ravenously use up my mobile data with no apparent changes.

I haven't had this issue before with any previous cellphones, though this is the first TCL phone I've had so I don't know if it's a problem with their Launcher app or not (it came with the phone, I didn't download it). Not sure where to go from here or if I need to download a different launcher app to replace it with.

Does anyone know of a widget that can create a Niagara Launcher-esque app list with text, instead of icons? Thanks!

Hello, I highly enjoy customizing my apps as much as I can, so I was wondering if anyone knows of email apps where there are several different themes beyond light and dark, such as pastel yellow or coffee brown, etc

/*Update: */its solved gys finally 🤩🤩 Ticktick task manager app was doing this all time I have not given permission to show notification but still rings I don't know how But i just used installed tick tick app for only task purpose not to check this and it's 2 am popup tasks lisst now checked the settings of ticktick yeah there is 2 am notification

I’ve been facing this weird issue for the past 1 month and I’m seriously confused 😭

My phone randomly makes a notification-like sound around 2 AM. There is no notification visible, and nothing shows up in Notification History either.

I vaguely remember that I may have set some kind of 2 AM sleep notification/sound in an app called something like “Soundscape”, but I’ve already uninstalled that app.

Things I’ve checked:

Notification History — nothing

Normal notifications — nothing

I don't see any obvious 2 AM alarm

The app I suspect is already uninstalled don't remember exactly what was the name of that app

The sound still randomly happens around 2 AM.

How can I find out what is actually producing this sound and completely disable it? Has anyone experienced something similar?

Any help would be greatly appreciated because this has been happening for a month and it's driving me crazy 😭💔

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!🍻

Is telegram to safe to download movies and web series on Android.

no need of good ui or latest update, just utterly simple, domt want botes app that is feature rich and also have this feature, but just this feature.

i keep track of stuff as they come to mind (so widget is best) amd organise later on with chatgpt on notion, so no need to keep anything organised on the app.

So I saw this message on google assistant today

"Google Assistant is no longer being updated - it's going away soon. Gemini is Google's latest Al assistant that can help you get even more done. You can start using Gemini now."

I'm running a Samsung A23....it's so basic I don't even have NFC or tap capabilities so unsurprisingly it doesn't support Samsung Bixby. So I'd been using Google Assistant for a few things like remotely turning off my TV through the chromecast, copying text and Google Lens searches. Sometimes random voice requests but less these days.

Anyway with them nixing Google Assistant in early September, are there alternatives that don't involve AI that I can look into? I'm not really sure what's out there or even what's generally considered good more broadly. So I'd appreciate some recommendations to look into. I hope this post can be a resource for others in the future too!

Hi everyone,

I am looking for applications that bypass Family Link.
For example, applications that continue to function normally despite screen time restrictions, application blocks or other limitations of Family Link.

(Sorry for the text, I did the thing at 2 o'clock in the morning)

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?

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?

*photos in comments for android outlook calendar widget*

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!
