Galaxy A 9.7 dies when cable pulled

I opened the tablet again and booted it up. I then removed the battery connection and the tablet stayed up. I looked at the battery info in settings and it still showed good and 100% charged. You said that is just a vague voltage measurement, I guess it's just in reference to whatever it saw previously since the battery was no longer connected.

I decided to just re-connect the battery again. I did this because I noticed when I took the connector off it seemed as if it may have been "up" a tiny bit on one side. I put the connector back on and pressed on it really hard to make sure it was completely flat. I pulled the cord and the tablet stayed up. I put the power cable back in and put it in a "charging" mode and the battery now reflected only 58% charged. I charged it to 100%, ran it down to zero and charged it again. My wife, (this is her old tablet, she also has a newer one but uses the old one for a couple of things and when her newer tablet is recharging), and my grandson have been using it over the weekend and all is good.

Bottom line is that I apparently did not get the battery connector pressed down all the way the first time. So dumb user error caused by my eye site getting older and poorer that I didn't see the first time that the connection was up a little bit on the one side.

I thank you very much for all your info and help. It was greatly appreciated.

Help Voice control of audio controls?

I'm wondering if you should look more into Bluetooth settings than audio controls. Generally, audio is a fixed, background process, and just assuming, it sounds like (bad pun intended) that you need to reset the Bluetooth connection when switching between listening to audio playback and voice interactions.

Have you looked at any Bluetooth-related options in your phone's Settings menu? That leads to a question if there is a discrete app for your hearing aids or is it just a matter where they're linked to your phone just using its standard Bluetooth menu to pair them up together? What model hearing aid do you have?

The beginning of the end

I walked into a fast food restaurant to get food. I had to yell around the plexiglass snot-guard to get the order in, and hoped it was right because I couldn't understand the cashier's muffled voice. I got the total and broke out a $20 bill.

The cashier slid a small plastic tray across the counter and asked me to put the bill into it. I did: then watched her pull the tray back, two feet, to her... where she picked the bill up and made the change. She placed my change in the tray and slid it to me.

I asked her, "how is that tray somehow disinfecting the money as it goes from my hand to yours? And if it's not, and we're handling the money the same way, why are we even using this stupid thing?" She explained that someone at CORPORATE implemented the policy. That explained everything.

Totally!

But just in case, it may very well have to do with security as much as anything else.

Limiting personal contact between employees and customers has been increasing for many years.

There may even be discounts for the insurance that the business must pay for to be in business.

People working for minimum wage are being viciously attacked by 'customers' at their places of work.

Unfortunately, if this happens to you and you retaliate in self defense or in any way, you will most likely lose the job.

On the other hand, the dumbing down of prospectives for these jobs, the promotion of 'Thug Life', affirmative action programs, along with multiple other issues, has made it almost as possible to be violated as a customer.

It is no longer possible to hire the best prospect for any job, because either that job application does not exist (no one filled it out at all, or not the right person for the job) or because the government is forcing the hire of a certain type of person.

This is one reason why we shop online, and that will yield even less jobs as time goes by.

'Go woke, go broke' is going to get us all in the end.

Pending book review

PayPal is an easy-to-use payment app with a great mix of features. It makes it easy to send payments or receive money from friends and family or pay for goods and services. Once you've set up an account, you can use the app or a web browser to manage your transactions, been using it for quite some time now :)

Last android update

Which clipboard capabilities are you missing?

Actually one way in which they have recently copied iOS is that Android 12 now warns you when an app has accessed your clipboard (which is illuminating: I've uninstalled a couple because they accessed the clipboard when I was doing nothing that would need them to do so. Given that people use it to copy sensitive information an app just deciding for itself to see what's in there is not on).

Help Can't Access Location

Try clearing your Chrome browser cookies, and/or try another browser. I looked at the Harris Teeter site with Firefox, but didn't see anything about location.
Do you allow any website to access your location?

I ask because I thought of doing this test myself, then remembered that I deny location access to all of my browsers (because I can't see why I'd want to let any website access that) and so I would never see the question anyway.

Other storage capacities for the S22 Ultra are, by-and-large, available as are the S22 5G and S22+ models.

Reports are that there is around a 4-5 week delay on the custom colours.

Some other countries are reporting a similar situation.

Vertical Constraint Widget Issue

I was able to uninstall Android Studio and then install Android Studio Arctic Fox | 2020.3.1 Patch 4.

This does seem to resolve the issue I was having but if I try to open my project I get the following error "This version of Android Support plugin for IntelliJ IDEA (or Android Studio) cannot open this project, please retry with version 2021.1.1 or newer." If I create a new project, I don't have issues.

I tried to create a new project and migrate my files over but then I ran into Gradle issues. I may just reinstall 2021.1.1 and adjust the margin settings in the layout code view and hope it gets fixed at some point.
