Well, yes, of course:

https://nextcloud.com/install/#install-clients

However, this would be just a client and as such you still need a server, either your own or an "official" one like from tabdigital

Speaking of tabdigital, there are other providers with free plans:

https://nextcloud.com/sign-up/

Due to the addictive nature of next cloud, I don't think it matters much for the beginning where you get started (for me, greedy as I am, the 8GB was way too intriguing) - in the end you end up with more :D

Perhaps something else like OwnCloud could work for you as well but I cannot say much about it (it lost out in my personal shoot out, don't remember exactly why but I think it was something regarding open source).

Here be even more:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_synchronization_software

For simple mirroring syncthing might be good enough (for example to keep shadow copies of your files on your router's USB-stick):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syncthing

(since you mentioned plex, I guess that wouldn't be good enough for you)

PS: Oh, and let us know how you like it!

Edit: Oi! Forgot one thing - as for "office" like word etc, it can get kinda complicated because often it's only available in paid accounts.

You can get a cloud host like digital ocean / linode /ovh and setup a basic FTP server. (it's 5-6$ a month for 40GB )

Then use something like Fx Explorer or file explorer to download and upload files.

Or Just get a pair of external hard drives.

They work with far fewer hassles and are much more robust.

As long as you maintain them regularly.
[Off-topic] KenPino:
Thank you both for your replies.

Seems the closest I will find is NextCloud: I played around with it for a bit and it seems that it could do the trick in the end :)
[Off-topic] SigmundDroid:
@KenPino Welcome :)

Hmm, I have currently 80GB for about 60€/a (5€/month) for Next Cloud.

Pro: I don't have to take care of it myself

Contra: It does only Next Cloud.

Alternative: Own little server at home... Since you mentioned external drives, may I ask if and how you would do it? Can't imagine you would let run your machine/drives all day and night long?
[Off-topic] karandpr:
The problem is data centers are either very easy to maintain or very hard. Suddenly you can have a data center being sold off to big vendor or just shutting down.

Sometimes countries create laws that make running a data center a hassle. And they would rather bailout than maintain.

IMO , if you have data > 20 GB, then local backups are the safest way to go.

Memes apart. Storage is cheap.

SD cards, USB drives. and few external drives.

The important stuff is backed up on 2+ storage options.

SD cards can be used on phones and PC.

Got 2x 256 GB USB drives which act as storage bridge docs and media.

For 2TB+ external drives, I have a cable but I usually use the USB OTG as a medium of transfer. I would not like my phone's USB slot to be fried.

Most PCs are equipped with office suites but I have LibreOffice portable inside the drive for editing.

Oh, and I have one USB drive which is also a portable Linux drive (Linux mint) so I have an operating system for x86 machines.

Phones & Tabs should have a doc reader/office suite and stuff like that,

Cloud and network solutions are good IF you have or travel in places with good connectivity.

Portable storage is convenient for everything else. And you retain ownership of files.
[Off-topic] SigmundDroid:
Oh, I see. Got it wrong there:

(indeed, memes are fun!)

I thought you meant having such network services like nextcloud running on external drives but you meant backups in general.

Yeah, I am covered: Syncthing puts stuff to my computer when charging (mostly fotos), Vorta puts this and other things (like ~) elsewhere. And finally I put those once a month on an external SSD (but SATA not USB).

If something needs to go back to the phone than it goes via a USB-OTG or syncthing.

Quite frankly, I despised online storage for the longest time but it does have it merits sometimes, and NextCloud seemed to be the best choice.

Next step, my own server at my own home... just need to figure out something cheap, efficient but powerful enough. Neither router nor raspberry would be good enough, so probably some ITX with AM4, should be possible to stay within 15-25W.
[Off-topic] karandpr:
I have toyed with creating a portable system with Raspberry Pi or an old android phone. But the battery is the issue in both cases.

File servers don't take much space or resources. A raspi should be able to service at the very least 100 concurrent users.

I have an old laptop which I will be tinkering around to see if it works as some sort of backup device.
[Off-topic] SigmundDroid:
Dang! That's a good idea, except for lacking big drives...

https://www.instructables.com/Using-a-full-sized-HDD-in-a-Laptop/

OK, this is maybe not a good idea ;) but I was pretty surprised to find someone actually doing it.

Still, I really like the laptop idea! Convenient, easy and with builtin screen! Gotta check for any small laptops with passive cooling and 2.5" drive.

hello, in https://community.teamviewer.com/English/kb/articles/98985-android-host and then https://community.teamviewer.com/En...rers-for-remotely-controlling-android-devices, are they saying Google pixel phones are not available for unattended remote control using the Host app? I had thought it would have worked to show Android superiority over iOS. I guess I was wrong. Thx. Need to help parents control their P7P. If this just doesn't work, it gives me greater incentive to switch back to iPhone 15 pro max and Apple Watch. For example, also learnt Pixel Watch doesn't support fall detection in unsupported countries.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
I got it working for my device, but I also had to install an add-on to control as well as enable it in Accessibility to get things to properly work....

I'm working off of a rough memory, so I may be missing some steps, but this is what I remember and have gotten to make it work...

Also -- I just checked right now -- I did not use the "host" app to get it working...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] supermansaga:
Quick Support app won't allow unattended assistance.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
I'm sorry, I confused regular remote control with unattended assistance.

So....you're going to switch your parents back to an iPhone 15 pro max (because it's their device that isn't working with Teamviewer host)?

Or you're looking for an incentive to switch, yourself, because (maybe among other things) the Pixel 7 can't do a single app like Teamviewer host (yet, for all we know)?

If that's the case, I hope you enjoy your iPhone 15 pro max so you can run Teamviewer host then....

My late father, would go to bed EVERY night by 9pm...something he did since I was a kid.

(Of course he got up at 5am and make all sorts of noise, but that's another story).

I was his "computer" mechanic, so every once in a while I would remote into his computer

to do housekeeping. Make sure the recycle bin was empty, update software etc.

One night, around 9:30, I remoted into his PC, opened up his browser, and it closed in a couple

seconds. His internet connection sometimes wasn't the greatest, so I figured I closed it.

Opened it again, and it closed again...THEN the phone rang. He said his computer was acting

up. So I played along. Oh really? Yes! Programs are opening by themselves, I close them and

they open again. After laughing I told him what I was doing. His answer was ok smarta**!

I started laughing again and said it was after 9pm, what are you doing up?

(He was big into vinyl records, big band recordings and was always making tapes for peope)

He was taping something and was still up.

After that encounter, I would wait until around 11pm on Friday...I knew he wouldn't be up at

that hour!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] supermansaga:
I am saying iPhone iOS is even worse regarding the limitations because in attended mode, iOS still can't control upon confirmation by the guest. However, given unattended is not achieveable at all with pixel 7 pro, or even upcoming 8 series, I am thinking to abandon Android

[General Topics] tworla:
The following features I do not like and would like to disable:

When setting screen lock type to "none", certain notifications will cause the device to unlock, like when the notification for the charging status is received.

The green dot icon in the status bar that hides important icons that notifys me when the camera is being used (I found a temporary fix but it reverts after a reboot)

Annoying software update messages in the settings panel even though I have auto updates disabled. I prefer not using software that is constantly evolving and changing.

Certain samsung apps that I could not find alternatives for that keep nagging me when new versions are available (a way to block internet access to certain apps would probably do the trick)

Is there a custom OS that addresses behaviours 1-3 then I might be able to look into 4 by myself if need be?

[Touch HD General] ionutz6:
Quick and silly one, just not in the mood for reading the manual.

Which is the button 1 that can be modified in the start/settings/buttons screen?

It should only be editable the press and hold of this button, but not sure which one it is. tried them all, none seems to work.

LATER EDIT: it seems it is the button you may press on the stereo handsfree in the package. But even in this case, even if i changed default behaviour from voice dial to, lets say, comm manager, it i press it and keep it pressed, it still starts the voice dial. any clue?

EDIT2: Found it, its the Green Call button, the one used to answer calls. If you keep it pressed it can call any application you define in start/settings/buttons screen.

thx

[Touch HD General] veehexx:
you can also set it to perform a manual rotate too.

it does require a reghack along the lines of hklm\system\gdi\rotation iirc to enable that option in the 'button1' assignment menu.

also, if you change the 'landscape' dword from 4 to a 2, then it'll rotate 90deg rather than 270deg.

disclaimer: registry references are done off the top of my head; if the reg key isnt present then your in the wrong area :) i recall the definate answer is somewhere in these forums if you want definate info!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] rsacipher:
I am having problems sending out POP mail and tried to use the SMTP fix from Microsoft, I get an error saying that it can't be installed.

I had to edit the Aku number so I could get BB Connect to work and changed it to .0.4.2. After further research I read that if you have that version then you don't need the patch.

So I'm thinking that since I changed it I cannot run the update. What I am looking for a Aku number that I can tempoaraily use to run the patch then switch it back and see if that works.

I found that .1.3.0 will work.
[OnePlus Nord N10 5G Questions & Answers] sonicsmooth:
I have hard-bricked my N10 5G and it shows up as 900E, but most online stuff talks about 9008 mode.

MSMDownloadTool V4.0 doesn't see the phone, I think because it expects 9008.

How do I get my phone back to 9008?

Or if not 9008, then how do I fix this?

I have downloaded qfil.exe and qpst tool, but I haven't been able to find any binaries to install.

What images do I need, where do I get them, and how do I return back to normal OxygenOS, or even a basic Android?

(I originally got here because Oxygen kept using up storage space for "system". I succeeded a few months ago in resetting the device back to normal, but then the storage got used up again. I totally forgot what I did last time, so this time I totally f*ed it up. I tried Android 12.1, but it kept crashing with modem error, then wouldn't start. Then I managed to get Android 11 on there, and it was more stable, but modem still kept crashing. After that, various ROMs, recoveries, TWRPs, Magisk, etc., and I really don't know the landscape that well. I got to some point of doing a flash_all.bat from fastboot for some Oxygen image, and it stopped part way. The phone now only shows up as 900E.)
[OnePlus Nord N10 5G Questions & Answers] gissf1:
I just dealt with this too. Mine had the multi-color "Qualcomm CrashDump" screen showing up when I tried to power on the device, but I don't think that matters.

My situation required me to install the Qualcomm drivers for the MSM tool to properly see the phone in 900E mode. These were available from Windows Update under the "optional updates" section on my Windows 10 system. After installing the drivers, the Device Manager showed it as having a different name, having a proper driver now, and also indicated the assigned COM port for the phone. Once I saw that, I clicked "enum" in the MSM tool, which then showed the phone and allowed me to restore the firmware.
[OnePlus Nord N10 5G Questions & Answers] gissf1:
I also wanted to comment that I have the "filling system" issue on my N10 too. I find it disgusting that OnePlus is allowing this bug to tarnish their reputation. From what I've heard, it also affects their flagship models, at least through the android 11 ones. I've also heard it has something to do with internal log files being created and not deleted, but the details are scarce. In any case, I would love to find a solution for it.

Cool. We need more analytic type testing. It's hard to gauge performance between ROM revisions and different settings and reghacks just by feel.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] djcaston:
How many times did you run each test? You should probably run each one like 3 times and take teh average of all 3 in order to account for any flukes that might occur

those numbers fairly close. Kindof tough to make a quick judgement, but definitely thanks for these test. Maybe trying out different roms can help with our info.

These tests were run once each as each test takes allmost an hour between changing the page pool, flashing and testing, so that was 4 hours.

But you are most welcome to do the 3 times test.

Wouldn't PP efficiency depend on usage pattern though? So at best this just tells you which PP setting gives you the best synthetic benchmark result - at worst it tells you nothing because the results are so close to each other it makes no real world difference.

This allways the case with Page Pool test, The results are usually very close to each others, I guess one should really count in the feel of the device on each page pool and use the one which is best for him.

Not saying that I don't trully appreciate the time taken to perform these tests because I do know for a fact that these 4 tests took a large amount of time and I really appreciate the effort. However, someone please correct me if I am remembering incorrectly, but I recall that all benchmarking tests were debunked even the radio benchmarking apps.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] shafez:
There was a long thread discussing the Kaiser Page Pool which Alltheway joined in it as well as me and Laurentius26 and many others aswell and as I remember that the result was that 16mb & 18mb PP where the best for the kaiser if you remember.

There was also the another discovery that HardSPL was reducing the performance of the Kaiser which makes me wonder if this is one of the causes for the poor TP performance.

Regards
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] flinx1:
Wouldn't this also depend on the ROM and installed software? With a stock ROM you have almost nothing installed and running, so you're not really pushing the system. Something that's fully loaded might have a very different feel with different PP settings.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] P1Tater:
That's probably right. I might be mixing up different results from different threads.
