Turning off backups for a single picture?

there are not that many services that can backup photos, that it becomes hard to keep track of.....at least not for me. my only photo backup is from using Google Photos. sure there are services out there like microsoft's one drive or Google Drive or dropbox. but both drive and dropbox you would have to manually move photos there. it is not automatic. also you would need to have one drive installed and setup. so as long as you do not have that than you should be fine.

google photos are not shared with anything else so there is no stickyness as you decsribe. also you can turn off google photos from autobacking up. https://support.google.com/photos/answer/6193313?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform=Android

Delete text history from contacts

I can delete my text messages from messages all day. But under contacts it still shows history and that I recently messaged someone and shows a log of messages but they have been deleted. It will let me delete calls history here but not the record of text messages. How do I find where that data is being stored and delete it. It seems to be doing it on its own because it doesn't have much past 5 or 10 days. And is there a way to remove this history button from contacts entirely?

Are you using the default Phone app?

no hold option

Well, I have always had android...I got an iPhone.I had it 6 months and hated it. So, I did an early upgrade and got S22 ultra...loved it, but could not put a call on hold. There was no option.I called spectrum twice... called Samsung he remoted in... worked 1.5 hours. Then finally did factory reset. no good. Still no option for it. He told me to call spectrum, so I did and the guy told me they did away with the hold option. I said I need the hold option for when I am at work. He told me to go back to iPhone or turn sound down and put on mute.ughhh... so, i downloaded phone by google app and guess what, it has a hold button that works!
That's good

How can I make Google Chrome use Google.co.uk as default search?

Did you even understand my reply?
Or has inbreeding and a faoling education system taken hold so well that comprehension is beyond your ability?

The home page is set to open in a specific search engine with custom settings for that search engine.

The default search engine is whatever search engine you choose it to be.
It can be set to have individual custom settings, or most often would open with the default settings of said search engine.
This is what would be opened if you had a link that you tapped and the browser opened to that link.

Cannot read serial data using USB Host

hi casjkent2
you could try is to make sure that you have the necessary permissions to access the device. You can do this by adding the following code before you start the transfer thread:

Code:
UsbManager manager = (UsbManager) getSystemService(Context.USB_SERVICE);
PendingIntent mPermissionIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, new Intent(ACTION_USB_PERMISSION), 0);
manager.requestPermission(device, mPermissionIntent);

You will also need to register a broadcast receiver to handle the permission request response. You can do this by adding the following code to the onCreate method of your activity:

Code:
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(ACTION_USB_PERMISSION);
registerReceiver(usbReceiver, filter);

Make sure that you have added the necessary permissions to your app's manifest file:


Code:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.USB_PERMISSION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.USB_HOST" />

App Inventor how to determine OS in android studio?

To determine the operating system on which Android Studio is running, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open Android Studio.
  2. Click on "Help" in the top menu, then click on "About Android Studio".
  3. A window will open with information about the version of Android Studio you are using. The operating system will be listed under the "System" section.
Alternatively, you can check the system requirements for Android Studio and see if your operating system meets the requirements. Android Studio requires either Windows, macOS, or Linux to run.

Most popular online challenges App for your friends and family

A link is already included in the op. My point is that if you want to promote something, visuals are very important. If you don't have that, I don't care very how good the app is, I'm not inclined to check it out. If you go all out in advertising and promoting, I can be persuaded to check it out. But, a very brief explanation and a link to the app is not going to make me want to do anything.

Starred vs VIP contacts

Funny thing is that it's normal for DND to have an option to allow calls from favourites through (but it's an option, you can choose not to do it). So it sounds like the main difference is ringing when the phone is set to silent.

One of the good things about Android is that manufacturers can vary things, add their own features, etc. But it does mean that it's not easy to tell what is "android" and what is "manufacturer X".

Help Screen Rotation Button on Navigation Bar gone?

EDIT: Just resolved it myself. I've been tampering with my phone for some time this morning and didn't find a solution until now. Turns out I need to long press the "auto rotate" button in the quick access menu and check the Rotate button on nav bar" option.

Well, it's 2023(Jan) and your post has been a "lifesaver" as that one feature is really central to the productive use of my cellphone. Thank you for the posts!

New App: Short Video & Funny Videos by Doston with Rewards (Version 1.1.0.8)

They haven't yet purchased advertisements to promote the software. When you browse Facebook, YouTube, or Instagram, you won't see any earn video advertisements. The spread of Byte depends on both word-of-mouth and accidental App Store discovery (and we do get many new users daily). The staff made this choice with great thought. If they purchase advertisements, they must be both very costly and successful. The second ad won't be effective on an user who has already tried Byte once and left after seeing it.

How to bypass verizon activation

I have tried a lot of things, including tapping four corners, vol up + vol down + back + home and dialing *228. I currently don't have the sim card, as I bought it off of ebay. If anyone knows what do do, please help me!
Yeah good luck, if you have no sims card, then your cell will not work.
as @Milo Williamson suggested above, if you don't have a sim card, you can't connect to the network.

No wifi calling on colorOS V11

So T-mobile has to set up wifi calling for every different make and model of android phone? That sounds like a crazy system! OK, thanks for your help.
No that is not how MVNO carriers, like Tello, work. You still need to contact someone at Tello to be sure you actually have WiFi Calling enabled in your account. Tello is your carrier, T-Mobile is just the carrier network provider that Tello is contracted with. As far as T-Mobile is concerned, you don't exist.
And it's not so much that Tello, your carrier, supports WiFi Calling nor that your phone can support WiFi Calling but if your account with Tello allows you to use WiFi Calling. It's in their hands so let them deal with this. You might need to new SIM card from them, or it might be a matter where you need to disable 5G in your phone's Settings menu. Your phone only supports up to 4G/LTE.

Is it possible to sort photos from your photo picker, or is there an app you can install?

Which photo manager app are you using? The stock Gallery app? The Google Photos app? They all should have some basic sort and display option so you can adjust how your photos are shown -- i.e. oldest or newest first, large or small thumbnails, etc. The thing is each app will have a different user interface so you might need to peruse through the app's Settings/Config/Options menu or there might be an icon in a upper or lower menu bar.

One of the most versatile and user configurable photo managers I've encountered is Simple Mobile Tools Gallery Pro app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simplemobiletools.gallery.pro
Go through the app's Settings menu to take advantage of all its optimization and customization options.

.Nomedia with F-Stop photo viewer

Keep in mind that a .nomedia file only applies to multimedia apps so it's only about image and video content. So yeah, if you don't want the F-Stop Gallery app, the stock Gallery app, the Google Photos app, the VLC app, or whatever media app to not automatically scan, index, and display any of the content of a specific folder than you just need to add a .nomedia file.

But the Google Backup and Restore service that's a part of Android, that relates to the content of the file system, and a .nomedia file is irrelevant. Unless you intentionally created that PHP folder inside a Google app directory, odds are it's not included in your online Google account backup.

Help Android Auto on Xiaomi - Low resolution image casting

[SOLVED]
@everyone:

I found a way to "get around" the problem. Using the "official" AAWireless dongle ( https://www.aawireless.io/ ), so not using the cabled USB connection, i had no more resolution problems.

I know that buying something else isn't a real solution, but at least this is a way to use AA in a good quality.

Actually there are a lot of cheaper dongles than this on Amazon, but i didn't try them, so don't know if they will resolve aswell the problem.

Hope this will help anyone that was in my situation.

How to get value from TextField


This could be happening because the app that you used to pick the image (in this case, Google Photos) is returning a different URI for the image than the one that was originally used to save the image on the device.

As for the reason for the change, it's possible that the app is using a different storage provider or a different scheme for representing the URI of the image.

As for whether this URI change is causing the cropping to fail, it's hard to say without more information. It's possible that the cropping app is unable to handle the URI that is being passed to it, or that there is some other issue with the image or the device that is causing the cropping to fail.

It's also possible that there is some difference between the AVDs that you are using that is causing the app to behave differently. For example, there may be a difference in the versions of the Android operating system, or in the configuration of the AVDs.

To troubleshoot this issue, you may want to try the following:

  1. Log the URIs of the images on both AVDs to see if there are any differences.

  2. Try cropping a different image on both AVDs to see if the issue is specific to a particular image or if it occurs with all images.

  3. Check the logs for any error messages or other clues that might help explain why the cropping is failing.

  4. Try using a different cropping app to see if the issue is specific to the app that you are currently using.
