Gallery Not Saving Original Image

I found that when I edit the image, usually just cropping, there is a button at the top.
The button is Save. That's the one that overwrites.````````
Butt I found a command in the pull down menu (the 3 dots) has an option to 'Save copy'
which doesn't overwrite.
Since I saw the 'Save' command at the top I never bothered to ;look elsewhere.
I thing they should be switched.

Most stock apps really suck.
Try the ones I posted links to.
They are both great.

Screen problem Galaxy A70.

definitely hardware damage. i damaged my note 4's screen by hitting the phone's sides while my phone was in a gym bag when it fell from my gym's locker after working out. it did not crack the screen, but the jolt definitely broke something on the inside. luckily i had insurance on the phone and was able to get a replacement with out having to dish out large sums of money.

i never keep my phone in a bag from that day forward. it is always with me.

I Hate Google

Ok, so an epilogue to this.
I did figure out a way to disable lots more Google poop on this pathetic little device.

I do still get the warning that the device is out of date, bevging me to 'update' it, but now it is just a notification and there is no more countdown and forcing of updates.

No clue as to what app(s) are responsible, but I am glad to have it to this point.
I can now restart the device and not have a bunch of Poogle shoved down my throat.

My guess is that if I removed my Poogle account altogether that the issue would end altogether.
If and when I get all my contacts as device instead of Poogle, then I will do just that.
As it is now, all my contacts disappear if I remove the account.
I have tried to export them en mass and then import them after the account is gone, to no avail.

Help My device is joy tab 2 tablet.

I moved your post into the lounge area so we can get more eyes on it.

Could you be a little more specific with both your problem and device? When you say you are having trouble verifying the tablet, are you trying to root it? Flash firmware? Update? Do you know what firmware is already installed? Do you have a model number for the tablet?

This would be helpful for everyone to understand what's going on.

Thanks and welcome to the forums. :)

Apps Android: advice on method to wake up CPU from sleep, carry out a task then go back to sleep

Hi, I have created a time lapse camera app that collects images during daylight hours and uploads those images to an FTP server. I now need to add a method to prolong battery life by putting the cpu to sleep at night, wake it up in the morning, collect and image, then go back to sleep in-between image collections (15 - 20 mins). The code i have used so far is based on the processing IDE with some android based java as well where necessary.

I have tried using wake-locks which didn't seem to work and have had a look at the AlarmManager class which might be the way to go but my programming skills aren't great. The AlarmManager class had an example that (i think) could wake the cpu at a given time then use the setRepeating method to wake up the device every x minutes after that. Is this correct? However i need it to stop doing that at night and repeat the next day(s) which adds another layer of complexity.

Any advice on this and/or example code to get me started would be much appreciated.

Cheers
