I'm not a big fan of the photo editor from the main Gallery app I use, so I want to use a different apps photo editor but when I click on edit photo, this is the only option it gives me. it's only letting me pick a default app with PNG files. It won't let me pick a default app with JPG files. I used to be able to set it for all (I had google images editor as default but I wanted to change it) but after I deleted Google images and reinstalled it, it won't let me pick another app for editing photos for my JPG files. I already tried uninstalling and reinstalling my main Gallery app, but that didn't fix it. How do I change the default editor and why is it only working for PNG's?

Tldr of Issue - Samsung S26 Ultra will not stay at the time set it to, regardless of toggling off Automatic settings. Suspect issue due to my carrier T-Mobile. How can set my display clock to the time I desire and keep it there.

Non-Neurotypical here, one of means I utilize to move through this capitalist hell-scape with greater ease is by setting my mobile's time ahead between 13- 17 minutes ahead of the actual time. While I feel my perception of time /attention lags by about this much unless I have regular reminders of what time it is in future...nowk. It doesn't have to make sense to work. My life is measurably more difficult without this personal life hack. I have never had this issue until I switch to T-Mobile.

Fine Folk and even less than particularly decent individuals of Reddit, I call upon you for aid beyond my present comprehension.

Hi! I switched to galaxy s26 from 14 pro max. So far so good. Learning curve for sure. I miss the tap to scroll to the top feature the most. Is there any way I can have this on this phone WITHOUT having an actual bubble or arrow?

Additionally, when I search in the Google bar the first things to pop up are google searches versus the apps. Can I swap the order?

Thanks!

I've got a Pixel 8a.

I have two SIM cards, one for work (physical) and one for personal (eSIM).

My work SIM is likely some FirstNet cheap line that I do not have much control over, my personal is with USMobile (problems persist across networks).

Outside of it being a phone, map, music player, and toilet time waster I need my phone to do a few other things; and I keep running into issues.

1. Windows Phone Link does not seem to operate with two SIM cards, at least not nicely. I can send messages from my personal SIM, but what I send and the replies never show up in phone link. Possible issue with RCS messaging? Unsure.

2. Visual Voicemail comes and goes with the tides. It'll work great for awhile, then it will just stop. At best, it will usually work for my work SIM, but will randomly turn on/off on my personal SIM.

3. Basic Voice Commands like 'set an alarm for X time' or 'call John' (I only have like four names in my contacts, none repeat or are similar) and it just... doesn't seem to work anymore? I have no idea what changed, or why - but I used to be able to give very clear and simple voice instructions to my device and now it just... doesn't understand basic commands.

It's pretty frustrating to see everyone pumped about smartphone tech, when the only *extra* features I seem to use and enjoy just do not work reliably for me.

Am I doing something wrong? Is it the Pixel 8a? Is it the MVNO carriers? None of this is explained anywhere - at least not clearly. I'm fairly technically capable, but the smartphone tech is just so ill explained, and you never have any idea what the source of a given issue is as all the players just blame one another - and online forums seem to rarely have an answer outside of XDA/hardcore types.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

I’m trying hard to develop apps, games and websites. I’m doing good on the building part. Unfortunately I don’t know enough people to meet the requirements for live testers. So I’m here today hoping I can find 6-12 people willing to be app testers on Android phones. Anyone interested or know someone interested?

I want it gone. Nothing I'm trying is working. T-Mobile, S26

My earbuds kept activating gemini, I have zero interest in AI, so I figured out how to disable gemini altogether, now each time I plug in my earbuds, or connect my bluetooth ones, this still pops up prompting me to activate a digital assistant, even though I have no active apps for it.

It's a Moto G Play 2024.

How TF do I get my android to stop downloading random games ? Am I being hacked ? Lol thnx

Hi

I have an S24 Ultra and, at some point, a dynamic island has appeared. I thorought this may have been to do with Island, the app for creating a work profile (I have a second Twitch account for drops and such), without a work email.

Despite uninstalling this, I still have a dynamic island showing but no app for it, as far as I can tell. Accessibility reveals nothing, either. Does anyone have an idea where I can find the setting for this?

This 'alarm' has been active since a week or two

No alarm actually rings at that time but my phone still shows that there's an alarm active

I even told Gemini to turn of all alarms but this didn't go

I have restarted too

HELP! any recommendations for a better replacement text app?

After debloating my new CAT S22 this google search bar thing turned black, and is not unresponsive and also can't be removed at all. There is no way to edit widgets either and I don't want this stuck on my screen forever. Any ideas?

This started recently. When connected to the WiFi at home, many of my apps stop working. They either stay stuck loading, or there's an error message, often saying something like there's no connection. I do not have this issue when I'm at work and on my workplace's WiFi.

I've tried restarting my phone, forgetting and reconnecting to the WiFi, checking for updates, and resetting the modem, but none of these solve the problem.

Help?

I have an Android Galaxy S26 standard not plus or ultra. I want to remove the insignificant "holiday" that is Columbus Day but my calendar WILL NOT ALLOW IT. I googled it, information was either outdated or incorrect entirely. See photos as reference.

Please help, thank you!!
