Android Q Audio Playback capture Feature

It does let the user know, and the user, as well as the app must specifically allow it, doesn't it?

Quote:-
For security and privacy, playback capture imposes some limitations. To be able to capture audio, an app must meet these requirements:

Urgent please help

Well I'll just repeat what I failed to express previously, your wish to block specific ports will also disable online access for other, necessary for basic functionality. Again, it's the operating system that manages ports, not your apps. Also, WhatsApp being a multi-functional service, its app is also an integrated one involving those multiple services so, yeah, it would require a modification of the app itself on your device, or altering its source code and recompiling a new app, to selectively disable one particular feature. Keep in mind WhatsApp is not an Open Source project, nor is its app so even if you were to hire a developer to alter it to your liking it's not a legal venture.
If your primary goal is to eliminate text messaging but you want to continue WiFi calling it doesn't seem like using WhatsApp is the best option for you. There are plenty of text messaging apps and plenty of WiFi Calling and VoIP apps available. Plus a lot of text messaging apps are now including WiFi Calling functionality. Just as an example my preference the Signal Private Messenger app allows one to do WiFi Calling. And for voice and video calling there's Google's Duo app, available for both Android and iOS.
A primary appeal to WhatsApp is its own expansive messaging service but that's what you're trying to bypass, are there other reasons as to why you want to use Whatsapp for this matter?

And just to emphasize, regarding the NoRoot Firewall app, there are plenty of viable alternatives that are more current and have more expansive feature sets than NoRoot, an example being support for IPv6 TCP-UDP. Also NoRoot can only provide you with full functionality with WiFi but only partially with mobile data (cellular) because while other newer firewall apps support LTE, NoRoot does not.
As for the rooting issue, it was not a suggestion or recommendation but rather just reference because of the issue involving non-root firewall apps having only limited ability over lower-level system processes. A significant issue with root-required firewall apps and non-root ones is the difference their basic functionality. With root-required firewall apps, they have access to iptables, a well-developed, fundamental firewall that's an integrated service in the Linux kernel itself. So a root-required firewall app will just tie itself into iptables. But a non-root firewall app being installed by the user does not have any access to iptables. Most non-root firewall apps instead rely upon a clever work-around using a local VPN service. It's not a VPN that involves some remote servers in the cloud (i.e. a VPN service you pay to set up an account with) but rather one that runs solely on your device, so the filtering rules you set up get applied to the networking traffic as it gets looped back through this localized, internal VPN.

Help Periods. Between. Each. Word

You've not got your keyboard set to interpret a double tap on the spacebar as "insert a period"? That could produce spurious periods, though between every word would see excessive.

Is it only SMS? If so, what happens if you use a different SMS app? (It will be the same keyboard, so I'd expect that the behaviour would be the same. If not then please tell us what SMS app you have the problem with).

Help Nokia 1 & 3310 3G read only language capability

I contacted Nokia by email and they told me that the Nokia 1 TA-1056 DS is the right Latam model for me as I want to use it in the EMEA and LATAM regions. I was wondering whether all Nokia 1's can read Arabic and Spanish sms as well as the standard reading and writing of English?

I've identified the correct Nokia 3310 3G model I am looking for with quad band 2G and 3G as TA-1036, or at least that's what Nokia told me.... I would like to know if this model can also at least read Arabic and Spanish sms as well as read and write English?

I have had no straight answer from Nokia for these additional questions. I have an old Nokia 106.1 which was bought in the UK and that can also read Arabic and Spanish but that does not mean that all Nokia's can do this...

If there is no straight answer to this is there a free third party app I can use to flash the Nokia 3310 3G or add a language that won't completely wreck it? I may try to see if it can receive Arabic and Spanish sms first before doing this...

Many thanks for any advice.

Note9 Tips and Tricks

Anyone know any useful features since the OneUI update? Like hard press button shortcuts and options, how to gain access to something like developer mode, literally anything that can let me change some things that bc I have a "screen overlay" (I did NOT put in) I can't access? Or how to delete unwanted apps (see photo- 3 phone apps for??? I'll never know)

My phone keeps using WiFi to make calls

Well, I for one get concerned when my wifi is supposed to be off, yet my "wifi calling" opens itself when I don't know it and my calls Beep and wcho, I check and see that it's on... and then won't allow me to shut it off. Light blue or as I usually call it "greyed out". A common theme in every phone I've bought in the past 6 years.

I just updated my phone and now when I make a call it uses my WiFi. How do I turn it off? I am on the Verizon network.
I have the same issue and I have Sprint. It turns on then won't let me turn it off. Usually I restart my phone. Same with chat not working or android auto not working.

Firmware problem on GALAXY SM-A105G

I'd start by asking him what he actually did, because no amount of game downloading will do that so if he says that's all he did he is lying. Of course he might have just done something stupid like accepted a system update then turned the phone off while it was part way through installing, but knowing what he did will help with identifying a solution.

You could try booting into recovery mode and wiping the system cache. At the least it will do no harm.

The ultimate is to download the latest official software for your model (full model and variant numbers) from Sammobile.com to a computer and reflash the phone completely. As I'm not a Samsung expert I'm not really the person to talk you through that, but that should solve pretty much any firmware problem (whether it will wipe your data I don't know: on most manufacturers' devices a stock firmware flash does reset the phone).
