Then there is the second firmware type known as Recovery ROM. This is used for all general purposes such as manually installing an official OTA update.

Do note that by multiple, we don’t mean 100 tabs, for some users even interacting with around 10-15 tabs tends to make the browser crash [let alone 10,000 tabs!]. What is even more concerning is the fact that this issue first came to light with version 100, but has been carried forward even to version 103....

But in spite of all the goodies attached, it isn’t free from its fair share of issues either. As of now, numerous users have voiced their concern that they are getting the “Sorry I didn’t understand” error when trying to play music via Google Assistant. In this regard, when they issue a voice command to ‘Play on all speakers’ or ‘Play on ’ then it simply gives out the aforementioned error message....

As of now, various users have voiced their concern that the Multi Volume functionality on their Moto G40 Fusion/G60 has been broken after installing the Android 12 update. As a result of which, the app volume has been interlinked with the system volume.

Adding to the misery, the OEM tends to place restrictions under certain circumstances wherein the peak refresh rate would automatically dwindle down to 60Hz, even though you have explicitly instructed your device to be at 120Hz at all times. For instance, in the case of Samsung, the fresh rate will never remain at 120hz when using the Picture in Picture or the Split Screen view. But we managed to find a nifty workaround that should help you bypass this limitation....

Initially, to counter this issue, I created a new folder, named it Trash, and placed all those bookmarks under that directory. While it did the job, but it wasn’t the most effective way. So I did further research and stumbled upon a nifty workaround that would help you put an end to this fiasco once and for all....

Likewise, if you are looking for an ad-free browsing experience, then DNS Adguard could be your go-to choice. In this regard, you could add and remove the DNS from Settings > Network and Internet > Private DNS.

However, there is a major UI/UX issue with this offering from Microsoft, especially the way it deals with the installed apps.
