While many have reported that this issue started after the macOS Ventura update, others are pointing fingers at the latest OneDrive 13....

Recently we covered the Network Drop/No Service/No SIM Card issue, and now another similar one has made its way. Numerous users have voiced their concerns that they are unable to send or receive SMS on their Pixel 7/Pro. While the issue isn’t concentrated just around one carrier, but maximum reports are coming in from Verizon, followed by T-Mobile. One intriguing thing to note is that some users have said that they could send and receive messages in the group without any issues, it’s just the individual messaging that isn’t working along the expected lines....

Likewise, the number 1 on its clock is painted red in color (well, you all know the reason why). But this touch of customization isn’t being welcomed by many users. This is because this red number 1 of the clock gets blended in with the wallpaper and hence users tend to miss it more often than not.

However, some users have also reported that the RCS functionality is also consuming an astronomical amount of battery life on their Pixel 7/Pro. Upon disabling it [and deleting its associated app data], they were able to preserve a significant amount of battery.

It goes without saying that you are likely to be greeted with a plethora of bugs and issues as soon as you welcome abode this update.

Right after users got hold of the latest iteration of Android, their devices were bugged with a plethora of issues. And the flagships were the ones to suffer the most. To rectify these issues, the Search Engine giants rolled out a December update that asserted that it had addressed most of these bugs....

Then recently we got to know about the fastbootd. Beginning with Android 10, there is now support for resizable partitions. Since the userspace fastboot and recovery are near about similar, there stands a possibility of merging them into one partition. But what would be the benefit of the same? Well, it will lead to lowering the partition count on your device which in turn would save storage space as well....

However, there is just one area that it needs to address and those are the few issues that it occasionally gets bugged with. As of now, there has been an addition of another unfortunate entry to this list. Many users are reportedly getting the “Your Access Has Expired” error message when trying to access Google Docs. Just by the looks of it, the error seems to stem out from the fact that the duration of the permission that the owner has granted you for accessing that file has expired....

Moreover, its consequences weren’t only felt in the smartphone domain, even the smartwatch that houses the Android-based OS has to face this wrath. In this regard, the latest watch from Samsung comes with WearOS 3 which is based on Android.

There were high skeptics that the watch might not even get paired with the device, and the fear indeed came true....

On the other hand, in case of high ping, the time taken for a round trip will be significantly higher and hence your device will receive data packets after an extended time frame....

To carry out these tweaks, you just need to launch the Registry and make the desired changes to the DWord file, and in some instances, to the key and binary files as well. However, there could be a few negative consequences to it as well and unfortunately, I was on the receiving end recently when the Registry Editor itself got corrupted. So there was no direct method to delete the newly created registry file or undo changes to that file....

However, it is the number after that [which denotes the current version of the minor update] that keeps on changing with every minor OS update. As a result of which, it becomes an extremely challenging task in keeping a tab on the current version number. if you also echo this thought, then you could consider adding the Windows 11 build number to your desktop.

In the latest iteration of the Galaxy watches, these restrictions are usually placed on BP and ECG functionality....

This is because it is the partition where users usually get stuck while trying to flash the firmware via Fastboot Commands. For the unaware, the super partition contains the ODM, system, system_ext, vendor, and product partitions within itself. This is the reason why it is the largest among all the firmware files. Moroever, you should always flash these files in the FastbootD Mode, as opposed to the normal Fastboot Mode....
