Anyone know a video app that will allow audio via USB

You can record both separately, and then sync them together.

Record your video however you wish, and record the sound in mp3 format however you wish. Transfer the mp3 over to the phone, and the video too if need be.

Then use YouCut, a very simple, effective app, to put the two tracks together.

Start by playing the video in your gallery/video player, and then choose to share it.

Share it to YouCut.

Now add the soundtrack.

You can precisely insert the soundtrack, and test it until you get it just right, and then save it.

Help Trying to use my Phone as a internet modem to power wireless router

Hotspot = tethering, or specifically wireless tethering. Wired tethering would be connecting your phone to your laptop via USB and the laptop using your phone's internet connection that way. "Reverse tethering" is using a cable to provide an internet connection to your phone.

My guess is that when you connect your network adapter to the phone it identifies it as an ethernet source and is attempting to set up for reverse tethering, which of course isn't working because there is no internet connection at the other end. This is anyway the opposite of what you want, but it would explain it sitting there and timing out.

You may be able to set up wired tethering between phone and laptop using a USB cable - just a USB cable, not a network adapter. But I don't believe you'll be able to connect the phone to the router and then have the router forward the connection via WiFi or cable: the router's input socket will be expecting the signal protocol your phone network provides, not the protocol the phone outputs during wired tethering (which I'd expect will be more like the output of the router than the input to it).

Hello, I'm the developer of Nap: Notification History Timeline and Manager

Hello, I'm João and I've been developing a notifications' manager for Android: Nap.

I started developing Nap for two reasons:
  1. I used to get notifications and I didn't want to interact with them immediately, but I also didn't want to dismiss and lose them (this became less of an issue in Android 11);
  2. I was getting notifications too often.
So, I aimed to create a simple timeline for my Android notifications. Naturally, the concept evolved and I have additionally developed features to organize and manage notifications, such as snooze and automatic dismissal.

Nap is an application you won't be using often and I've designed it to not be addictive and to never ask for your attention unsolicitedly. It is completely free and it respects your information. Your notifications are solely yours and stored locally only.

After starting to use Nap, I eventually stopped feeling any pressure to interact with my notifications, which was somewhat freeing. I definitely recommend using an application to manage your notifications and there are plenty on Google Play.

In that sense, I would like to invite you to try out Nap. I’m also looking for feedback, namely:
  • what do you like and don't like about it;
  • which problem can it help solve in your day-to-day life, if any.

Thank you!

Do android phones become unsupported?

I tend to be similar: I jumped from 2.3 to 4.1, then 5.1 to 8.0. I do now have an Android 7 device since I put Lineage 14 on my old HTC One (sans gapps), but I've never owned an Android 6 device.

I've been wondering this afternoon whether to stick the Android 11 beta on my Pixel 2, but that's just displacement activity as I'm bored with the work I'm doing...

Anyone know what app this notif is from?

Are they into romantic fiction? That's the first thought that a flower stem + heart image brings to my mind.

The trouble is that there are so many different apps, and different types of apps, that use a heart as their logo or part of the logo that it's always a long shot trying to identify them. Though I do tend to think that if I were cheating I'd have more sense than to send screenshots with incriminating notifications visible.

Low storage warning on J5 (2015 model)

On this phone there is only the option to Force Stop or Disable. When using Disable it asks if I want to put the app back to 'Factory' and when I select yes it reports 'Uninstalling' but the app remains in the list, albeit with substantially less storage used. This seems to be quite misleading and poorly thought out.
Actually it is doing what it says, though it could have been spelled out a bit more. "Putting the app back to factory" means uninstalling updates to the app, leaving just the copy in /system (i.e. the original version the phone would have come with). So the "uninstalling" is correct, in that it is uninstalling the copy that's in the normal app storage space, it's just that in this case there is another copy in the system which it cannot uninstall.

But hey, at least it asks you: these days Google seem so sure that they know better than you do that they don't even ask, e.g. I still have 79MB of Chrome, 32MB of GMail, 30 MB of Android Auto etc after disabling all of those apps - they just assume that I'll want to keep the last update even when I'm telling them I don't want the app at all (arrogantly assuming they know what you want is very much Google's way of working).
