Weird link to my approximate location embedded in text in facebook messenger..Why? How??

I want to know how my friend somehow accidentally managed, halfway through typing a message to me, have it underlined, in which the underlined part of the text turned out to be a link to google maps, revealing an approximation of my location (was about 10 miles out). The first words in the underlined bit of text was, "one part". I don't know if they're a keywords or something? I couldn't reproduce it.

I'm assuming it's some kind of Gboard function, for sending quick hyperlinks with location request or something embedded in the text?

I'm so confused. Does this make sense to anyone? And if so, does anyone have any idea how to do it?

Thanks.

No calls outside area code.

Try re-seating your SIM card and restart your phone. If that doesn't fix things, log into your account via their web site and check on your status from there. Since everything else related to a cellular service connection is working and it's just a long distance calls matter, this doesn't appear to be any kind of phone issue but more like a cellular service problem. Contact your carrier.

Weatherbug App

Are you having a problem with the WeatherBug app sometimes/everytime opening to the alert page when tapping the widget icon on the home screen? I just discovered it matters where you tap on the widget. If you tap on the exclamation mark in the triangle towards the center of the widget (using the 2 x 1 widget), it opens to the alert page. However, if you tap to the left or right of that (on a current/high/low temperature), it opens to the "Now" current conditions page. I can now kiss goodbye to backing out of the alert page over and over again!

How to permanently disable USB debugging

op.....i'm not sure i see why you want this disabled. are you concerned about security? if so then you should not have rooted your phone. i rooted phone basically bypasses all securities on your phone so that "you" can gain access to the system apps. but now anybody with the knowledge can also gain access to your system as well, regardless of usb debugging being turned on or not.

Why is my coverage so bad everywhere I go?

TN?
As in Tennesse?
That is generally hilly, mountainous terrain, correct?
You are probably not going to get good reception in such an area.

When I travel through Kentucky, I see cell towers sparcely placed along the mountain tops, and my reception is spotty and hit or miss.
I am assuming that Tennesse is similar.

Local radio waves (like cellular) love line of sight- ie. if you can see a tower that is on your network, your phone should work.

You don't really have to be able to see it, but if there is a mountain between you and the nearest tower, your service will suffer.

Google Drive problem

Have you tried using the 'Empty Trash' icon in the app? If yes and that's the problem, try going to https://drive.google.com, click on the 'Trash' icon in the left side panel, and in the resulting list that shows, do a Cntrl-A (to select all), and use the contextual menu option for Empty Trash to permanently delete things.
Now wait a minute or so and see if that opens up more storage space.

Drift Worlds - Released Today

Drift Worlds
After years of solo development I am excited to finally say I have released my pride and joy, Drift Worlds. Drift Worlds is an arcade racer that meets real world graphics. It has aspects of both outrageous scenarios and real world physics. You will find yourself driving across desert plateau's, above the clouds across snowy tundras or deep in the depths of a volcano. There are plenty of levels that I will constantly be expanding on and with dozens of cars to choose from there will be plenty to work towards.

The Idea is simple. Enter a level and race against yourself or against the current record holder. You will work towards getting 5 stars for the level to unlock more and to earn more money. It also has real crash physics that will dint and damage your car the more you crash and fall.

This has been over 2 years in the making and I would really appreciate some feedback that I will do my best to take into account.

Samsung SM-A51F

That appears to be an odd glitch, photos are working but videos are not. Try restarting your phone if you haven't already and see if that makes any difference. If it didn't go into the Apps menu in Settings, find and open the Camera app listing, tap on 'Force stop', and then find and tap on the Clear cache button. Then start up the Camera app again and see if that made any difference. If that doesn't help, do the same thing again but this time use the Clear data button. Using Clear data wipes the app's configuration and settings files, and its cache so it essentially returns the app to its original first time used state. If you made any alterations to the Camera app previously, you'll need to redo them. Hopefully that step works out.

(I'd suggest trying a third-party camera app too, but the pre-installed, Samsung Camera app is a pretty feature-rich, robust camera that also takes advantage of all the unique hardware features of the camera module itself that independently developed camera apps cannot.)
