Site-dependent settings have been introduced to customize Roomba, Stack Exchange's question auto-deletion script. By default: questions with a score of 0, with no answers, and with fewer than 2 comments are removed after 365 days, unless they attract 562 views (=365 * 1.5). Questions on Android.S...

I was wondering why do you even need this such privilege when you have 200 reputations? Like me, I already have an Ad blocker so do we remove this privilege?

I got this impression the score system doesn't really represent nor competence nor activity and that it's relatively easy to censor people when they talk about stuff the majority or the hall monitors don't want discussed at all or it is (discussed) in a way they don't like. So I was like wonderin...

I started my account the day before. I added a pic and then looked at my profile and it stated that I have been a member for seven months, how is this possible?

Examples: chrome-for-android, firefox-for-android. However, most tags don't end with "for-android" e.g. skype. Do we really need to append "for-android" to tags? That seems superfluous to me, since the site is about Android.

Like the question asks, are we being probed around the edges for BIAS or AI awareness? The specifics are about these new questions submitted by NEW members on Android: [https://android.stackexchange.com/users/553519/adam-brooks]{Adam Brooks} and his question: [https://android.stackexchange.com/qu...

Hello, I'm getting the you can't post new questions right now please do not create a new account page. How do I know which questions need improvement (and, how do I access, those, specific, questions (from this page))? Perhaps it would be nice if more details and support related to this were giv...

Hardware-based questions are on-topic? My question was closed: Where are the microphones on the Google Pixel 3a? Closed. This question is off-topic. It is not currently accepting answers. Questions which are Android-independent, such as "Does Carrier X have prepaid plans?", are off-topic. Con...

I have some old Android vendor Linux sources that I want to build, but with recent toolchains the kernel fails to build with an error. Are questions about how to build Linux kernel sources provided by Android vendors on-topic for Android Enthusiasts?

Is this the correct place to ask this question? Is it possible to use an android mobile phone as the external phone line for Asterisk PBX? I am looking to set up a home PBX and want to use my existing android smartphone as the external telephone line, instead of a PSTN line. Is this possible? I ...

I have been trying to use the Google Calendar web app in an intuitive fashion. Below is a screenshot of what appears when I log in from my Android phone using Chrome for Android.

On gaming.stackexchange.com are only questions about Gaming on Meta Quest welcome. The VR headset has many more use cases. Meta Quest is based on Android. Are Meta Quest questions here on topic? A quick search didn't find any question about the Zuck empire.

I received an email today with the following message We recently noticed a substantial number of votes on your account to specific users. While we encourage everyone to upvote great posts and downvote bad ones, the motivation for doing so needs to be anchored in the merits of the post, not the p...

I see very few posts even addressing this question on meta.android. But should phones and likes the Pine and PinePro and Librem5 be on topic here? Many of these phones run Android Applications through emulation, and so the questions I would have are, Is Linux Mobile without Android on topic? Is ...

Back in December 2022, an AI chatbot ChatGPT was released to the public. It is really sophisticated that it can also answer many kinds of questions, regardless if it is factually correct or wrong. It has been banned on Stack Overflow and made official due to the disruption it caused. Another disc...

Someone asked: Android phone specs comparison site? I answered the following, but it was deleted by a mod. Why?

Are all hardware recommendation-recommendation questions strictly banned here? Or under certain conditions it is allowed to ask such question?

I am not sure if this is off-topic for the main site. Am I allowed to ask it there? I am shopping for a new Android and would like a web site where I can do side by side comparisons, especially if I can start by entering my preferred spec. I can't seem to find one my Googling.

The Question states it all -- Are Android TV questions considered off topic for the site? I believe that they are not, since android TVs and Android does not seem to have that much of a difference in the core of their OSes, But I'd like to ask before I post a question on the main site.

I posted a question in very simple terms earlier today: Can ANYONE help me with getting my phone that is stuck in a boot loop to be "seen" by any of my computers to get the files out? Details in the body. I took a VERY long time typing out all the details and specifics in the body, but the body o...

The rooting page says: "Before asking how to root your device, please read the full tag wiki …". Shouldn't "full tag wiki" be a link to the page? (Otherwise, how would one know how to read it?) Also, (that page itself) says: "create a new question, and link it to the index". Shouldn't that be "…...

can anyone explain how it comes that this site mirrors stackoverflow somehow? https://software-testing.com/topic/217764/bootloop-issue-and-can-t-go-to-recovery-mode/2 Bootloop issue and can't go to recovery mode

Sorry for the trouble, but I am trying to answer a question again, and I cant because not enough rep. I actually have enough, but because of bounties, it put me below the required amount. This is the one I want to answer: Force links to open in the app, not the default browser

I looked at the list of my removed questions and see that ~15% of my questions (i.e., ~30 out of ~210 questions) get automatically removed by Roomba (deletion script) because they have score=0 and no answer. When I look at the questions posted by anyone, a large portion of them also have score=0...

I've noticed a few times that the images I include in my posts got resized. It happened with at least 5 users, often rather active here, so I'll post this info as a meta post. I appreciate the gesture but would like to point out how to properly resize images on SE. Good: lossless resizing by us...

Some answers include links to Google Play Store apps that no longer exist in the Google Play Store. How is it best to handle these answers? The most obvious solution is to see if the app exists on F-Droid, and if it does, change the link to the appropriate page on F-Droid. But that only solves t...

voice-typing and voice-recognition seem synonymous. Let's merge them?

On every Stack Exchange site, there is a Community user bot that likes to randomly bump unanswered questions. Based on my observations, we got an almost consistent hourly bump every day, and that might dilute the "active" tab and the homepage from more recently active questions with very old ques...

I am trying to answer this question: Where can find older versions of Apps? but it says this: Highly active question. Earn 10 reputation (not counting the association bonus) in order to answer this question. I am confused, as I have earned that: points link 10 https://android.stackexcha...

Why would App X need permission Y? was closed as opinion-based, but it is definitely not. Closing the question prevents the community from exchanging knowledge. Questions: Are decision-makers appraisal sometimes too biased? Is this one such case? TL;DR The question is completely technical, wit...

I'm just wondering why. Just found the tag linux and written in it ...(Note that running Linux distros on Android is off-topic.)... I can't grasp the reason for that specially from the name of the community.

I noticed from stackexchange.com that this site gets about 11 questions per day. didn't say if they get responses. i submitted a question yesterday and it looked like it was viewed 14 times. Does this mean that someone just doesn't have an answer or is this site very busy?

My question was moved from SuperUser but now has an incorrect signal tag (on SU it refers to the messaging app).I see that e.g. facebook-messenger or whatsapp-messenger exist, but signal-messenger does not. Many questions tagged signal are actually about the messenger app, this would justify the ...

On Android.SE, there are some tags related to command-line interpreters: shell: The shell is a piece of software that provides a command-line interface to the operating system.

Yesterday I asked this question: screen mirroring - How to display camera image on second Android device?, and shortly after, it received an answer.

Apparently, there is no RCS tag yet. RCS is Rich Communication Services and the standard is getting more widespread use.
