Tablet version on phone?

No, but like I said it's only for employees and partners of the company, so probably not publicly available. Like I said, I was more looking for a solution to in general make the phone appear as a tablet to apps.


I've never heard of such a thing, and probably isn't possible, not without some sort of hacking and modifying of the phone's firmware.

I'm thinking it's the app itself needs to be fixed and updated, so it can work to it's full potential and features with Android versions. Which is something only the app's devs can do, that's it.

How are other company employees and partners managing with this app on their phones?

Photo Stick Type Backup

Can you take a backup of your OnePlus 6 via OnePlus Switch? Or you can also use its Built-in Feature to help you take backup of your OnePlus 6. If you only want to back up photos on your OnePlus 6, try Coolmuster Android Backup Manager. Its free backup function can help you transfer all photos on your OnePlus 6 to the computer for backup directly via USB cable.

Copy Options Not Displaying

I have a Pixel 4A. I like to be able to copy text from a webpage and put it in a note or voice reader. Hasn't been a problem in the past. But suddenly in both the Chrome browser and the Samsung Internet browser I installed, when I select the text, either by frame handles or "Select All", all the Copy functions disappear and I just have the selected text but no way to do anything with it. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Samsun Browser, rebooting, clearing GBoard and Browser specific storage and cache, etc, but can't seem to get this functionality back. Is there a setting I am missing or any other ideas on how to get this working again in the browsers?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

[help] Unkown notification sound

check your alarms as well as maybe your calendar for any upcoming notifications or alarms. and don't use anti-virus apps, there really are not any viruses on android.....malware, yes, viruses, no. i would start again with your most recent apps and work your way backwards. the one thing i would do is before you uninstall the app, make sure that you wipe cache and data. often times, some apps will leave cache and data intact and thus you could potentially still have the issue as sometimes it remains within cache and data. once those are deleted then you can uninstall the app.

sd card internal memory issues

When you're microSD card was just a typical 'Portable' card, it was formatted as FAT32 or exFAT. The FAT file system is dated, unsupported but still proprietary (Microsoft), and has all kinds of limitations as storage media with today's technology. But support for it is essentially added to every modern platform (Linux, MacOS, Windows, Android, iOS, etc.) so there's that compatibility factor that keeps it around -- we can take a new card out of its packaging and just use it to transfer files from a computer to a mobile device as is. Convenience over practicality.
But when you manually format a microSD card to be 'Internal', that's a significant change. The card's file system gets changed to ext4, replacing the FAT file system, and it gets encrypted, with the encryption key then tying the card directly to the phone. So that that point, the card is essentially an internal component to the phone -- the phone's internal storage memory and the card's storage memory are now merged as one, now larger file system. The ext4 file system change now matches the same ext4 file system that's the default for Android internal storage media, the encryption key now means you should not physically remove the card now. Aside from creating an Android instability problem, the card's not going to be readable by any computer nor mobile device anyway.

Basically, once you set the card up as Internal, you should stop trying to interact with it in any way. Stop trying to use a file manager app, stop trying to manipulate the card contents in any way. At this point, the installed Android operating system on your phone is managing and maintaining the card as part of the overall storage media.
If you decide later you want to use this card as Portable again, be sure to use the Settings >> Storage menu in this same phone to format the card back to Portable, and be sure to read the warning messages that pop up, This is something of a drastic measure so don't be surprised if later you need to reinstall a few apps.
When the card is Portable again, it's a FAT file system and the encryption removed.
