#android phone

even as a tech idiot i found these instructions clear and easy to follow. this time i hit a bit of a snag with the command prompt window, but that was solved by typing ".\adb" (without the quotation marks) every time the guide told me to type "adb".

Google is locking down Android.

From September 2026, all apps, including those outside the Play Store, must come from verified developers. No more anonymous sideloads. No quick comebacks for malware gangs.

First: Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand.

People don't realize what this is really about. With apple and Android locking down ability to sideload applications your won't be able to force applications that are "banned" by the government onto your device outside the Google play store.

This is about censorship and control not safety.

It is setting the groundwork to make it much harder to maintain your freedom once the UN and WEF agendas are globally enforced.

It should be illegal for phone manufacturers to tell you what you can and cannot run on your device.

Google is going down the same road as iOS now.

we need to FORCE Apple and Google to allow us to install the apps we want.

a setting i previously had disabled has reactivated, & i can't find it to turn it back off. because i hate it so much. does anyone know where i haven't looked?

my phone (Android) screen keeps waking up when i pick it up. it doesn't unlock, but i shouldn't be able to see the lock screen unless i hit the power button. every time i pick up my phone, it wakes up the screen, & i end up pressing buttons. i turned this off specifically because i tend to pick up my phone however, & i would like it not do anything until i hit the power button — you know, like a normal device! that doesn't make me wanna kill something!
