Android phones, apps and tablets

Problem is that that doesn't allow for pages that scroll/concertina.

can't you take multiple screenshots?

Surprised to find scrolling pages are actually handled by Android - after taking a screenshot there is a 'capture more' button which does just that.

Also, have realised that the app doesn't always allow text selection and copying - so the screenshot method is effective. Thanks!

result! good old android!

Thanks for the scroll tip.. I didn't realise you could do that!

Anyone have a free, easy way of converting those Live images (HEIF or HEIC or whatever Pixel uses) into animated gif or something useful? Or, a way to view them on Windows without paying MS the dollar or whatever they're asking for the codecs?

Google photos on the phone, hit the three dots > export > gif

I did not know that and had been pondering the same. Cheers.

Can't get rid of a voice mail notification on my samsung sa52. It just won't swipe off even though the voice mail has been deleted. Has anyone had the same ?

Champ!

Was wondering that as well, thanks

Is the Pixel 6a the thinking man's choice at £300 to replace a smashed 4a?

What's the general view on Android tablets? Was considering getting a Samsung Tab S7 but I keep hearing people say Android is a cack OS for tablets. Unlikely to be using it for much beyond watching TV/films/YouTube and typing stuff while touring so I don't have to take my computer, so maybe that won't be an issue.

Or should I clear off to the Apple thread and ask about the iPad?

I've been using this A7 (SM-T500) for a couple of years for general web browsing and watching YouTube etc. Works fine. Can suffer from low processing power and shortage of Ram on some badly designed sites, but I suspect that's 90% due to Firefox which, whatever its virtues, seems to be an inefficient browser. If you get a current Tab S and use Chrome, you'll probably never notice any problems.

I bought a 6a a few months ago for £399 before the 7-series was launched with the price reduction that you can gain from.
What else is there to buy?
A few Chinese phones with limited Android updates and time limited security updates.
Do any of them have a UK-based service centre?
There might be a Samsung.
What do you use a mobile for?
I track activities, listen to podcasts, take a few pictures, check emails and read a few websites everyday. The 6a does all this adequately. GPS acquisition is sometimes a little flaky. Battery life routinely gets me through a full day.
A micro sd card slot would be useful.
I just have to transfer photos to a laptop.
If this 6a only lasts for 2 years, I reckon I get £4-worth of value out of it per week.

Nice one. Looks really good for the price.

Thanks.. My usage is even less glamorous than yours. I'll order one tomorrow.

I've got a Tab A8 and have not had a single issue with it, seems as good as my wife's ipad.

I Have at Tab S3 SM-t825 and it works faultlessly. Makes people look twice when you make a call from it. Fits in a coat pocket, carry it most places.

Cool. Sounds like the only people bleating on about Android not being a very good tablet platform are likely iOS fanboys, then.

Before I do a sales thread, anyone interested in a Google Pixel LTE watch?
Matte black, new/boxed. £260?
